One Second And for one second I lost my head and for one second, I wished that you were dead and for one second, you wish that you were here all alone Hold back the tears that could fall for me. And for one second, I lost my breath and for one second, I cherish what you said and for one second, it seemed that I was here all alone Hold back the tears that could fall for me And for one second, I understand and for one second, my life was in your hands and for one second, you wish that you were here all alone Hold back the tears that could fall for me, they fall alone. 2. Say Just Words You get high, with your destructive instinct You get high, with your corrosive instinct - Where can I go, to escape your foul mind tricks You're trying it more, but you will never break me Cause you presume, the winner's you but that's not true So say just words to me, unreal what your hate's providing Say just words to me, your talk is always contradiction Say just words to me, you won't feel the warmth of friends around you You say just words to me, is it true that there's worth inside, So say just words to me. Your designs, all the worse from power craving Your desires, only where there's fire burning, I'll show you the way, a pleasure that's for the taking You're trying it more, but you won't get satisfaction Couse you presume the winner is you, but that's not true So say just words to me. 3. Lydia Through the searching lights that weave and dark comes the stranger that cares not for your heart the pain of living life this way must take its toll on you some day. Your jaded eyes can see embarrassment or harm the trail skin that bleeds emotionally on guard. All lowest forms of life are pounding you inside your hollow cold display your tired masquerade let the image that you present entice unlike the mirror that shows the strains of vice this act of contact your decay while willing souls will more that pay. 4. Mercy You live for times of solace Within a sign there's a promise, Don't lose all faith cause you shake at night It's in the art of the process. In another rhyme beyond this place. The healing's fast enough... Done a thousand times a thousand ways until You've had enough... It's mercy you're asking for cheating life By taking more it's mercy you're asking for Take my life or give me more... The loss of prize possession to cure the mind's obsession Could trade your soul for that normal life Elite to all objections... See beyond all tears and broken years your senses giving Up lose all confidence at your expense your courage swallows up. 5. Soul Courageous I could not care less for oh, so many things tales Of your distress and what tomorrow brings Alluring you on sight I'd harbour my delight. You could not care for what tune sorrow sings. In this battle of ages Abreath of fire would light your pilot. Are you soul courageous? A breath of life would make You maybe see... you bring me to the ground You bring me to the ground Victory's in vain unless one knows the score Inner peace reclines, in a place the bitter scorn Spirit maketh man always at hand But spirit fails to save the ones worth waiting for. 6. Another Day Another day and the guilt is gone Another day will stress the week and the strong Just a memory that we've become I have taken without warning when the day has just begun... A summers day, and my blood runs cold, I can hear you in the morning as I'm reaching out to haunt you, A summers day, and my blood runs cold, You will never hear me calling as I'm reaching to destroy you. Another day won't ease the sorrow Another day will help frustration to Grow all the pictures and the face of hope, I have taken without warning when the day has just begun. 7. The Sufferer I find when I'm all alone that I feel so ashamed, cause all my pride is gone Say what you never can resist Say what you never would believe Give what you never want to show. Give what you never would receive. A time when I'm all alone & I'm breathing afraid, cause all my pride is gone Elate the tears I create, how completely inane, cause all my pride is gone. Collapse at my sorry stance but I need to surpass cause... My only thrill alone in my own hell 8. This Cold Life I can take one day to achieve my goal, then it starts again. In this circumstance that I call my own dreams just don't deliver. I never needed foes forever feeling low cause they breake me down cannot fake this frown. I never took offence I never swore in advance but I'll breake you down with my poison mouth again. I cannot deny bittersweet recline to a sole religion It's a certain way that I'm feeling host to a new deception... 9. Blood Of Another You'll see the blood, blood of another You'll see the blood as we roll in it together You'll see the blood, blood of another You'll see the blood as we roll in it together tonight. What unruly life is like what is fabled wisdom like? This indulgent grace is spinning round and leaving all bahind knowledge Limits you besides claming you're so sure by vibes In this frozen climate the temperature should bring you down to rights. Beauty, purity inside twisted madness filth and vice Death is not selective the darker shroud will fall on all despite Recklessness, the fault in mind anger, laughter can't provide try to turn a blind eye The wasting pain one trip you cannot buy... 10. Disappear In living with a fear of chance, The chance of fear the only reason you're awake, We decrease in size when burdened with your mind, But you know escape is to run, In a constant commotion When I speake it's revulsion maybe you'll disappear Recall the past when you were strong, Those distant days it seems are now forever gone, You'll increase desire to wander and retire, but you know escape is to run. 11. Sane Seasons of sun won't suffice, But for you my guarding light, I'd walk around this earth. Though the streets are paved with gold I'd collect it to be sold, I'm bringing this on myself But I feel for you, Will you show you're sane. In your mouth a loaded gun, Pull the trigger have you won Let's see how you can do, it's the darker days you dread, All the hurtful things I said, it seems I'm nothing, But I feel for you, Will you show you're sane. 12. Take Me Down You aren't what I love You aren't what I need You aren't what I love You aren't what I need What I need Don't let them take me down there You aren't what I love You aren't what I see You hate from above you become what I need What I need Don't let them take me down 13. I Despair [digipack bonus] In your hands I'm trying In your hands I'm trying flight I can't die In your hands I'm trying In your hands I'm trying flight I can't die, I'm flying in the cold breeze every night Spare me all the strife My desires never tire but would it feel much better if I died? Petty highs get me by but how long must I live with this disguise... Have you no direction? I just sense pretentious signs... In your highs Have you no direction? I just sense pretentious signs In your highs... I hear the same old stories every night Spare me all the strife My desires never tire but would it feel much better if I died? Petty highs get me by but how long must I live with this disguise...
