It's therapy time!

I'm always ripe to tell you
What's wrong and what is right
How come, how come?
We try and thrive too much
I hope you'll finally find the way to overcome this clutch
Be thrilled you've tasted
A chunk of what this world provides
Nothing's out of touch
The pain
The light
Your wrongs
Your smile
We should have fun and enjoy ourselves
But all comes with a price
How long, how long?
We'll have to pay for such
A dreaded place to live in where there's nothing to be won
You clearly made me
Fall to my knees and think about
We're all out of touch
The pain
The fright
Our wrongs
Our cries
The strain
The spite
Our blows
Our fights

Wrong hands

Make believe
Relive your feat
That's all you know
That's all you know
Cry for me
And try to see
The lies you're told
You drain me
Now sometimes I hear your songs play on the radio
And then I think we live in a completely different world
I'm sure some day you'll get to understand we're stranged
Tragedy or phantasy?
It's hard to know
It's hard to know
While you stack your royalties
The board awaits for your next hit
Now sometimes I hear your songs play on the radio
And then I think we live in a completely different world
I'm sure some day you'll get to understand we're stranged

The earth is folding on itself
And I'm not sure if I'll be ready
To confront our destiny
When so many morons are dicking around today
I always thought I'd have a plan
When the reaper called my soul to leave
But I'm sure I'm at the wrong century
And I ain't got a so called legacy
So here I stand
I may be nothing to your eyes but I just did my best
To get along with everyone I crossed into my path
And I'm afraid
That's my sin
That's my sin

Crumbling
02:27
|
|||
|
I know I'm prone to hesitate too much
And words never come easy
So I guess I am the one to blame
As the whole apartment was about to explode
Our room just felt so quiet
And we risked it all
Took a leap in the dark
And then I crumbled
And sure as hell I got way too drunk again
Just take a sneak peek inside my fridge
You'll see there's not much left
I should check the expiration dates
Now my apartment feels more empty
My room is way more quiet
Cause I risked it all
Took a leap in the dark
And still I'm crumbling
And I'm pretty sure I'll get drunk again
I could not guess I'd be this broken
After all these years of learning

Aching to bond
02:36
|
|||
|
We're swinging through the waves
Chasing our own direction
That's all we make
Well aware we'll never crash
Can choose to drift until the end
But it's not what we are made for
We were supposed to meet some day
I'd rather fall and break my head
Maybe that's how we can start again
Rolling back all my mistakes
I face a hard digestion
I could get sick
Forgot to check the weather
I hope that I don't freeze to death
But it's not what we are made for
We were supposed to meet some day
I'd rather fall and break my head
Maybe that's how we can start again
But it's not what we are made for
We were supposed to meet some day
I'd rather fall and break my head
Maybe that's how we can start again

Set up the trap
Preparation's worth the catch
Don't you think?
Just on your own
Separation's all you've got
To prove that you can reach your goal
So pray for the best
And drain all the energy
From every one you got the chance to know
Don't care about the rest
It's just you against the world
No one will judge your will
Strife for what you must
Crush everyone
Don't you think about all the shit you've overcome
It will get funny when
The depression kicks you in
Don't you think?
Just on your own
Separation's all you've got
That's left so maybe it's late to whine
So pray for the best
And drain all the energy
From every one you got the chance to know
Don't care about the rest
It's just you against the world
No one will judge your will
Strife for what you must
Crush everyone
Don't you think about all the shit you've overcome
Strife for what you must
Crush everyone
Don't you think about all the shit you've overcome

My final imprint
04:35
|
|||
|
A purple vein runs up to my knuckles
Swelling and overflowing over time
And I stare at that bloodthirsty nail
I hardly recognize it anymore
On the tip of my finger
There goes a final imprint with my name on it
Until it fades and burns away
And I never really had the plan for it to be that way
But I can still see a reflection of myself
But I can still see there's
A reflection of what I've been
A reflection of what we've been
Our reflection

Wasted ink
02:33

What makes you cry
So late on full moon nights?
Maybe words that someone said?
Is it the scent from your cold bed?
Should I knock it off when we both know that it won't last?
What makes you sad
On days that look so bright?
Maybe words that I might say?
Is it cause I went away?
Should I knock it off when we both know that it won't last?

Stray
01:36
|

|
Stray with me all around
Stray with me, don't slow down
Pick a trail and stay sharp
So we won't say
We once settled back
Stray with me all around
Stray with me I won't let down
Grab on to those gray strings
I've been placing
For some time

Into the abyss
03:25
|
|||
|
Silhouettes are flashing on
And my look is casting yours
Dare to please my eyes
Silhouettes glow up and down
And my own is getting old
Trying to please your eyes
Sit down and drown
Into the abyss
Crave for a new love to feel
Make me quiver
Drooling over your spiral
Close my eyes and drift away
I've never felt so sure
Your silhouette is all I see
When my sight is getting weak
Goosebumps spread through my arms
Sit down and drown
Into the abyss
Crave for a real love to feel
Make me quiver
Make me quiver
Sit down and drown
Into the abyss
Crave for a real love to feel
Make me quiver

Light the fuse and run
08:09
|
|||
|
I'm trying my best
To slow down my heart beat
To get in synch with this routine
I may collapse, no big surprise
But I hope my temper never gets worse anytime soon
I may light the fuse and run
Maybe the harm has just begun
But I know there may be some time
To pick up the trail where we both sat two hours back
We're planning a reckless getaway
But as for now
It just seems an afterlife affair
I may revive, no big surprise
And I hope my will to live gets rearranged
I may light the fuse and run
Maybe the harm has just begun
But I know there may be some time
To pick up the trail where we both sat two hours back
