Tortuous Suffering

I wish I could live up
To your expectations
There's no point in trying
I feel insecure
I've tried to move on
Carry on without you
It's easier to dwell in this pain
You made me do it
You made me do it
You made me do it
Now feel my rage
You made me do it
You made me do it
You made me do it
Now feel my pain
You made me do it
You made me do it
You made me do it
Now meet your end
Be prepared
For your death
Burn inside
And die by my hand
Feel my rage
I'll take your life
I'll end it all
I'll end this tortuous suffering
I wish I could pretend
That things are OK
This is the point of no return
I'd rather die with you
than deal with indifference
there's no going back, now die with me
You made me do it
You made me do it
You made me do it
Now feel my rage
You made me do it
You made me do it
You made me do it
Now feel my pain
You made me do it
You made me do it
You made me do it
Now meet your end
Be prepared
For your death
Burn inside
And die by my hand
Feel my rage
I'll take your life
I'll end it all
I'll end this tortuous suffering

Going Underground
03:23
|
|

Awake and tired
Just trying to find a place
Alone and beaten
I lay down in the dirt
Alive but dying
this battle never ends
Asleep I'm drifting
Into the depths of hell
My limbs are numb
I cannot feel the pain
My mind is fried
I cannot do things right
My eyes are closed
I cannot see your face
My heart is wounded
I cannot heal inside
My mouth is shut
Yet I scream inside
I'm going underground
If this is life
Shut me down for good
I'm going underground
A giant eye spies
From high above the clouds
It follows me
And everything I do
I try to hide
But I have been exposed
It sees through me
There's no place to call home
My dreams are crushed
I've got my wings cut
My hopes are lost
Yet I'm crawling up
My faith is gone
Everything is dark
My truth revealed
As I lay to die
My mouth is shut
Yet I scream inside
I'm going underground
If this is life
Shut me down for good
I'm going underground
My mouth is shut
Yet I scream inside
I'm going underground
If this is life
Shut me down for good
I'm going underground

Hopeless

Oh yes I've been through hell and back
And I'm not proud of my sad past
Scattered thoughts that linger around
I try my best to kick them out
But they come back
To haunt me in my sleep
Cursed dreams chase me
To bring me to my knees
I don't want to live in fear
I must find a place of light
I don't want to cry all night
I must find a way to deal with all this
Oh yes I've been through hell and back
I wish I could forget it all
I want to heal the wounds inside
I try my best to hang on tight
But I'm hopeless
Joy can turn into despair
Nightmares chase me
I'm being torn to shreds
I don't want to live in fear
I must find a place of light
I don't want to cry all night
I must find a way to deal with all this
When I'm OK
I crash and burn
I can't get relief from myself
When things are moving forward
I tumble down the stairs
I'm hopeless
Oh yes I've been through hell and back
Everyday I feel like I'll snap
Oh yes I've been through hell and back
Please someone save me from myself
I need someone to come and rescue me
I'm aware of what's going on
But I still can't save myself
I don't want to live in fear
I must find a place of light
I don't want to cry all night
I must find a way to deal with all this

Alienated

Don't waste my time
'cause I feel I'm done
Trying to achieve something
Just don't waste my time
'cause I'm fed up pretending to be a nice guy
I don't belong in this place
I must leave now
Ohhh I'm going to get me a new life
And leave everything behind
Ohhh I'm sick of this place
I just need to leave
Don't get in my way
I feel alienated
Don't try to change
What cannot be changed
I've made up my mind
Just don't try to interfere
It's my life you don't have a say
In this
Get out of my way
I don't belong in this place
I must leave now
Ohhh I'm going to get me a new life
And leave everything behind
Ohhh I'm sick of this place
I just want to leave
Don't get in my way
I feel alienated
(Solo)
I don't belong in this place
I must leave now
Ohhh I'm going to get me a new life
And leave everything behind
Ohhh I'm sick of this place
I just want to leave
Don't get in my way
I feel alienated
Alienated

Save Me
05:37
|
|

No matter what I do
I can't stop being me
The hours slip away
As I grow insane
I am doing my best
To control my quirks
But I will not succeed
I am bound to fail
If there was a glimpse of light to reach
In this barren wasteland that I call my mind
If there was a glimpse of hope to feel
That I'm not abandoned to my madness
Please save me (x4)
When I think I'm alright
I burn down in flames
If I'm feeling depressed
I can't lift a limb
If mania comes to me
The rush cripples me
Whatever happens now
It's not up to me
If there was a friend to help me feel
Like a normal person, not a weirdo
If there was smile to change my mood
I am sick and tired, frail and lonely
Please save me (x4)
The meds keep me sane
But I'm tied for life
A war that won't be won
I try to stay alive
Normality is a word
That I just don't know
This cursed bipolar mess
will remain in me
If there was a glimpse of light to reach
In this barren wasteland that I call my mind
If there was a glimpse of hope to feel
That I'm not abandoned to my madness
Please save me (x4)

Deep Within

|

Daylight is gone
And now I face the darkness
Feeling alone
I'm covered under blankets
The hours go by fast
I don't know what I'm doing
What's wrong with me
I cannot fix it myself
I am looking for way out
If I were strong
To fend off all my demons
If I believe
The darkness can become light
Deep within
Night after night
I lay in bed just crying
Feeling the gloom
It's trying to pull me under
I wanted to
Abandon all our quarrels
But all you say
Feels like white noise from your mouth
I am looking for a way out
If I were strong
To fend off all my demons
If I believe
The darkness can become light
If I were strong
To fend off all my demons
If I believe
The darkness can become light
Deep within

Fly little boy
Spread your wings
And soar high in the sky
Fly little boy
Search for the answer
Inside your heart
There will be sadness
There will be pain
No matter what you do
It will come to you
Fly little boy
Spread your wings
And soar high in the sky
Fly little boy
Search for the answer
Inside your soul
There will be sadness
There will be pain
No matter what you do
It will come to you
Uhhh
Ahhh

Halo
03:36
|
|

I wish I could be helpful in your life
Sometimes I feel like a fool
I wish I could do more to make you smile
Because I don't want to see
You like this
You like this
I don't want to feel like I am a burden
Because I only manage to get you angry with me
I don't want to feel like I am useless
Because the only thing I want is to get you through this
Please don't lose your smile
In the halo
The days go by and you are getting worse
I don't know what to do
I feel like you don't want me anymore
I just don't want to see
You like this
You like this
I don't want to feel like I am a burden
Because I only manage to get you angry with me
I don't want to feel like I am useless
Because the only thing I want is to get you through this
Please don't lose your smile
In the halo

Aetherworld

Outside the reaches of this realm
There is more than the eyes can see
Where all the elements come to life
Water, fire, air and earth
The point of union which creates light
The energy that bonds us all
Such mystery, the heart of all
Where time meets entropy
Particles of light
Scattered in the space
The cosmic darkness
The Aetherworld
Particles of light
In suspended state
Time begins and ends
I n The Aetherworld
Beyond the orbit of the sky
There are distant stars floating in the void
Where the boiling heat meets the freezing ice
Where the raging storms meet the silent depths
The point of union which creates light
The energy that bonds us all
Such mystery, the heart of all
Where time meets entropy
Particles of light
Scattered in the space
The cosmic darkness
The Aetherworld
Particles of light
In suspended state
Time begins and ends
in The Aetherworld

Child (Original Version)

Wake up child
Time to go
Hear me child
No time for tears
Mother always said
You're only wasting time
Enjoy it while it lasts
Then walk in a straight line
It all ends here
So quit your dreams
Get up child
Stop chasing stars
Give up child
Let your mind go numb again
Mother I'm so sorry
I won't do it again
I will stop trying
And give you what you want
And I'll stay here
Forgetting dreams
Ahhh Ahhh
(Solo)
Mother I'm so scared
You don't believe in me
What if I leave you
You will not bring me down
Don't think this is
A stupid dream
Ahhh Ahhhh
