Alchemist Tripsis 1. Wrapped In Guilt Trapped between your faith and your life Guilty of lenient strides In the walk you have chosen to take Do you feel guilty now? Forceless and shame filled you judge They are wrong but you can't hold a grudge Contradictions you swallow each day You know they're guilty now Is it true that you can't sleep at night? They are free now to fulfil their plight They are wrong but you leave them to fly Its you that's guilty now And you're falling To your calling Don't judge me You're caught between your thoughts And the words from your mouth You can't judge others, or you will be judged Can't you see the contradictions? Your faith that has failed Let the guilty be free and the innocent jailed And falling To your calling Self-entrapment Self-important And you're failing So they're laughing 2. Tongues And Knives Spray me with deceit Facts distort and die Convinced you lies are truth Your flaccid mouth the proof Lick tongues and licking knives All your words are lies You preach vast imagination Fool yourself into hypnotisation And so you laugh, not to my face Expect me to trust, you're a disgrace Sharp is your tongue, as sharp as steel Blunt is your knife - it's the way I feel Continuous slobber springs forth from your fucking face Convinced your lies are truth. Listen to no one You can't be wrong because your mouth is the proof 3. Nothing In No Time Try to choose the best path for my life To have ambition and to strive Pushing forward driving on Feeling like you're going nowhere Feel the pressure self imposed Feel you're neither here or there Tame your thoughts to simple goals Simplicity impossible Stay on the path no deviation Fight to reach the destination Plan, plot, work, strive, bleed, burst Hope your dreams will stay alive Black lining, single siding No false conviction to be hiding Head down, tales up, reaching goals, no giving up Push forward, highest gear, only obstacle is fear Don't give up Don't give in You'll have nothing in no time 4. Anticipation Of A High Sweet - Anxious behaviour awaiting your saviour Time - Expanding contorting all concepts aborted Wait - for your ticket to escape reality Lie - to yourself every time you say all is fine Your life is under scalpel Slicing carving through your thoughts Can you bear to live another day? Social vice, attractive gamble With your health and sanity You plan your day to reach your high Rise - anticipate the high And fall, to ground Your saviour, not found Wasting time, redundant life Sleep and lie, awake to find, it's gone You're dependant from now on And you believe in your own lies Anticipation of a high 5. Grasp The Air Hear it now, it's nothing new Challenge awaits, it beckons you Head above water. Try to survive Through crashing waves Battle through life Bend and suffer for the usurper The ones you help will help themselves But you keep on climbing further Despite the broken higher shelf Head above water. Try to survive Through crashing waves. Battle through life Empty promise, suiting selves - Grasp the air Work and save, spend on nil - Grasp the air On the outer not inside all alone Your closest kindred knock you off your thrown Do you ever get the feeling that you battle all alone? For things in life that seem important Cannot leave the comfort zone 6. CommunicHate I feel bound by modern trappings You can always find me where I'm hiding We communicate with velocity Lost on a senseless quest for humanity So far apart but it's a small world So close to me yet held away Communichate no face to face There has to be a better way Born to communichate Our nature seals our fate Refuse to communichate A severed line Try a way to fold life at the seams Hide from your responsibilities To talk to people not machines And find out that we're all discommunicating Human beings will seal their fate Unless we can communicate Man is made of flesh and bone To speak through lips, put down the phone 7. Substance For Shadow Well let's look at the facts We've got this we've got that You feel fulfilled, you're satisfied I highly doubt your truth denied A leap of faith. A brave new world To push the boundaries Will you ever know? Substance for shadow I hear you say it's what I know Totally safe above the board But what I hear there's something more Human desire takes control Take a chance, a new sea change And you may find fortune favours the brave But if you don't, then step right up And come and ride the treadmill of life Around and round you go 8. God Shaped Hole Desperate and depraved You've lost your way again Broken and battered Towards the face of sin Demons and thieves Distract the path you choose Tunnel vision prevents the world From ever reaching peace You know, you know Been there before You know, you know You're not really sure Your god shaped hole You know, you know Within yourself We're here to help It's what you want but maybe not Your quest your curse it can't be stopped Throw it in. It's where it begins To take control from your god shaped hole 9. Degenerative Breeding Clones abound Replicas all around The blind will follow The minds of the shallow Masses are telling you Can't do what you want to Ignore the blind beliefs Be a god not a slave To speak without voice To choose without choice To steal without theft To kill without death There are many who will try to hold you down But mediocrity it is the easy ground Wasted time becomes your history Invest yourself in your prosperity Clarity creates a certainty No matter what you are Or what you want to be Self-belief should be your self-release Strive to advance yourself Don't live by living deceased You don't live by living You don't live by living deceased
