Gone The last few ones I was depending on Shut down by internal commandments That keep on upgrading themselves as you go along
For all it's worth we gave 'em a fight We constantly sought for alternative views But it's hard to come out of the cage as the winner When none of your swings have a chance to come through
Adjusting Adjusting to things we know nothing about They call it progress I call it the easy way out
This is not a revenge But merely a consequence Life devoted To causal relation
And if you can't comprehend Cannot see what has triggered this burst of emotion I'm sorry, but I'm out of moves by now Roll the credits and let the curtain come down
Introducing yourself with a crowbar in hand It's all about first impressions Marking territory - do not cross the line Something will have to give
I feel like I'm filling the same forms Again and again and you're all to blame It's time for these obsolete minds To be taken over
Let these scars be reminders Of knowing your place It's time for these obsolete minds To be taken over
2. Lacriminal Gland
When you lose the first round You call yourself reborn Do you know what you do If you can't understand what it will gain? A point blank refusal of forgiveness For deliberate indifference
Injury self-inflicted
Your face is covered Still I know you're alive There's an alien in your mind And the haven is harder to find Perfectly supreme I'm your frequent despair
See how fast I take your place, your form I will prevail I will remain Actuating something that's always been there Presence outshined You've been made disabled
Try to run from what's within
Your face is covered Still I know you're alive There's an alien in your mind And the haven is harder to find Perfectly supreme I'm your frequent despair
3. Decrowning
I think today might be the day We'll see it all go down Jesters taking over Kings separated from their crowns And if that is the case I'll join the crowd, lead the parade Look back nine years from now And see the damage that we've made
For those still by my side - it will not go unnoticed For those against me - your name is ailing
I think today might be the day We'll see it all go down Jesters taking over Kings separated from their crowns And if that is the case I'll join the crowd, lead the parade Look back nine years from now And see the damage that we've made
For those still by my side - it will not go unnoticed For those against me - your name is ailing
No, don't tell me it's The thought that counts That saying is for those Who misfired each one of their rounds Now mark my words I'll raise the bar I'll walk the mile I've just begun
For those still by my side - it will not go unnoticed For those against me - your name is ailing
4. Tiebreaker
Go - and leave yourself behind Pride - a useless state of mind On your knees, hands to the heavens Tear it down, start again, make it last this time
It will not be easy Most likely you'll never succeed The fall of all that's to be Not for all but for one
A view to put things to perspective Not pleasant but surely effective Where to go with the wishes rejected Lies defected, despair injected
Barking through life, leaving biting for others Oblivious to the filth that it gathers Pushed and delayed and now it's too late Take a deep good look in the eyes of your fate, as it says
Done - this one is done White knuckled fists give us the guilty ones Don't - don't you tread on me This one was simply not to be
A view to put things to perspective Not pleasant but surely effective Where to go with the wishes rejected Lies defected, despair injected
Barking through life, leaving biting for others Oblivious to the filth that it gathers Pushed and delayed and now it's too late Take a deep good look in the eyes of your fate, as it says
Done - this one is done White knuckled fists give us the guilty ones Don't - don't you tread on me This one was simply not to be
To come out from the other side with no regrets To feel that these scars belong to someone else To still be standing when you're hearing the bells Un-fucking-likely
5. Drug Of Choice
No time to read the small print Wouldn't understand it anyhow A plague roams here among us Time to repent your choice is now
When was the wrong turn taken? How was it missed by all? Like many times before The rush shall be our fall
The rush shall be our fall
Great white mentality Upgraded skin decease Two-thirds in front of me Far from serenity
I will not play ball to this organized corrosion I will not be part of your hypocrite devotion
Upholding discipline with fear Tell us the words we want to hear Smooth operating through The never-ending disintegration
Blood-lunged, yelling warnings and prophecies Pure hate taking it's toll Time and time again The rush shall be our fall
The sound of silence long gone Still we keep tuning in Nailed up against the wall For anyone to get a piece Cut down to size Yet still the first to bite the hand that feeds There'll come a time You'll have to do without the fear you breed
6. Denial 101
You win the prize for being the first one I wash the blisters off my hands Because and in spite of this breed Nothing remains excluded No difficult choices made The silence, the silence will reach you
Tempted by your core Cease to be, cease to live Tempted by your core Devoted to peel - denying to feel
Exit granted Feel the tension Now step out of this dimension Inwards growing intention
A state of mind one could envy Lick up the pressure that I have shed
Hate defends Hate repels Hate prevents Hate demands less
Everything sinking through the skin of your feet While standing on the splinters of your past Serving you fate or serving your will? Not that it ever made a difference For you are and will endure ill
Tempted by your core Cease to be, cease to live Tempted by your core Devoted to peel - denying to feel
Exit granted Feel the tension Now step out of this dimension Inwards growing intention
A state of mind one could envy Lick up the pressure that I have shed
Hate defends Hate repels Hate prevents Hate demands less
When did you creep to me? I live to recognize Why don't you figure out By yourself why to run away
You better keep on hiding 'Cos you'll be fucked if you start to run Here's the line, give it a go This bridge is flammable
A state of mind one could envy Lick up the pressure that I have shed
Hate defends Hate repels Hate prevents Hate demands less
7. Control Center
I cut your wings The moment you think that you cannot fly Smother my habitat Foment the thoughts of my demise
Seems like we've met before You may not know me but I know you Pretence paradox Fault of purpose amputee
Am I your enemy or what? I attack from inside When I rule there are no principles But I know where they lie Keep your hands out of this An untouchable progress has begun
Control cancer Inside you I watch your struggle Control cancer Inside you I make a strike
Decadent vision controls my life And the vision is your very self Immortal life form Nesting in a mortal shell
I am the excess you try to skim But you retake us the on the sly For rejecting me You're shaking your halo
The drill of reason Reaching your temple Insecure and weak You cut the tongue that digs my eyes Am I your enemy or what? I attack from inside
Control cancer Inside you I watch your struggle Control cancer Inside you I make a strike
We shall retake our existence
8. Raptus
Running out of solutions Conscious or carried away? Classify, separate, codify - hear dismay Atomize, aggregate, rearrange - fear the fate
Invasion and spiritual penetration
Awaken on the edge of unjustified suspicion Is the alteration possible with no demolition? Deadbeat and shivering, approaching the next period The delusion that liberation is drawing near
Mind-set euthanasia Arise out of impulse
Mental suicide Exertion beyond intensity
With open arms adopting the true desperation Affected system towards the new adoring face Another victim of a synthetic evocation A cry of relief sealing the disgrace

10. Bleeder
Burning a hole in the back of my neck It will always come back to this For a second I looked away And it got the job done I say that I understand But I'm not sure that I do If I only could have those few minutes back...
We're the ones who made it happen I alone made it all come down The point of no return Is purifying
Retrospecting for all the wrong reasons Pointing fingers to numb out the pain Distorting the truth With a good dose of make-belief I will have to live with this For the rest of my life And that will take me to my grave
We're the ones who made it happen I alone made it all come down The point of no return It's purifying
