1. In A Cage

Shut down, turn off – erase and forget
My heart is getting numb
My square, my circle – just walk this dotted line
I cannot hear your scream – I can not, I can not

We fail, succeed – it is not up to me
I'm getting lost again – can't find you can't find me
Can't follow this footprint, it's getting hard to see
This knot around my neck gets tighter and tighter

Our lives subsides – in disgrace
In a cage
Until our hearts stop – endless maze
In a cage

I know what it's like but can you hear me
Drowning in this hole but can you save me
Inside – in this cage – it's getting darker
Inside – in this cage – it's getting cold

Our lives subsides – in disgrace
In a cage
Until our hearts stop – endless maze
In a cage
Face to face – I can't embrace – our lives at stake in a cage
Face to face – I can't embrace – our lives at stake in a cage

For how long can you look away
When nothing ever comes your way

2. Counting Our Scars

Can you live this lie
Can you breathe when nothing gains
And day by day – we'll all just fade away
My eyes were blind
Moving on but going nowhere
That feeble mind – would always grag you down

Can you still believe
Can you still ignore this panic
Your world caved in and left you shivering
Can you rise again
Can you rise when all is lost
When all you see – will only break you down

So here we are
Burning the soil again
We're ripped apart
We're counting our scars

I can't see them
I just feel them
Move your fingers
Tear them open

It is all inside
Can you keep it in forever
You're torn apart – this hole inside your heart
Can you rise again
Can you rise when all is lost
When all you see – will only break you down

3. Ready To Bleed

What is lost what is found
We starve ourselves to death
This is the pit – here's where I dig
One on one, two on one – tear you down
Break the will inside you – make you fit

Beg for deliverance – cut your way out

Hide my head in the sand
Look away again
Step by step were going down
Is this the war of the pacifist
Is this the god of the nihilist

Beg for deliverance – cut your way out

Into the void again – this time it's for real
Hide from this constant fear – this wound will not heal
Now I can't save your soul – can't help you to breath
Pray for forgiveness now – get ready to bleed

Now another day has passed
And I can't see where to go
It's tragedy in its prime
Waste the hours – do my time

Now I can't save your soul – can't help you to breath
Pray for forgiveness now – get ready to bleed

4. This Broken Halo

There is no truth – break the illusion
Will you submit to this confusion
We have no choice – breath out our sickness
It's a mistake – it's a delusion

We're all outnumbered – were all alone
Let those sinners cast their stone
Clear this path – road to damnation
Now it's too late to find salvation

So leave this broken halo, leave it all behind
You can't erase this madness can't rewind
Never again you told me, never again you said
We will all burn together when all is dead

Chaos – damn this charade, sinking in malice
Faking our masquerade, twisting in madness

It's getting close now – inhale the tension
There is no time for your redemption
Before the storm – it all subsides
Now it's over – close your eyes

5. The Moment Is Gone

All colours are gone
I stay black to escape
The grain in my eyes reeks of bitter regret
Chasing those hours, wasting that time
Try to hold on to the past, but the moment is gone

And I can't wait for this life
It's already over me
And I try to slow it all down
But the moment has passed – the moment is gone

Down in this hole, it cripples my soul
Nothing can help me to crawl back again
What can I do, what have I done
A minute to late – a lifetime to long

Now the pain comes again
Now the moment is gone

A shivering ghost, a blistering cold
Now this soul will be twisted and torn
Consumed by this shadow, engulfed in this shade
When will it end, when will it fade
Try to hold on to the past, but the moment is gone

Now the pain comes again
Now the moment is gone

6. Uneven Numbers

Can't decrypt this code – can't hear you, you scare me
Repeating history, this silence is deafening
Advancing backwards, still counting, still hoping
Throw it all away – translucent and hollow

Can't give forgiveness now, it's tragic, pathetic
Scriblling figures, no control, I'm in freefall
No emotions left, just waiting for nothing
Breaking me apart, replaced and forgotten

Once again – I'm standing here with nothing
Once again – I'm left alone
Once again – can't you feed this sorrow
Your soul will be standing right next to mine

7. Dead Ends

A flesh wound – bleeding open
It drains out all your hope
Don't come closer, in here there is no air
I'm that eye – staring at you now
Fail to cry – this is the place where all the dead ends meet

What gets – inside
Always stays inside
And all those screams will never leave me alone
Force that nail – into this hopeless heart
I will fail – if this is what it takes

What's it gonna be
How it is gonna feel – when they turn it around
What are you gonna hear
What are you gonna see – when you fall to the ground
When I try to speak
All these dead ends meet

I slip down – on loose ground
Falling further down the line
And all this rage is burning – out of control
I'm that eye – staring at you now
Fail to cry – this is the place where all the dead ends meet

I slip down – on loose ground
Falling further down the line
And all this rage is burning – out of control

It's all done – it's all set
It's all you'll ever need
Don't move, don't move, don't even try to breathe

It's all done – it's all set
It's all you'll ever need
Don't move, don't move, don't even try to breathe
Force that nail – into this hopeless heart
I will fail – if this is what it takes to stay alive

8. Leeching Life

Drained from wounds that you cannot see
Carry nothing and have nothing to give
Swim in chaos – smother in doubt
A painful life now lies ahead
Now – it's dark inside – memories stashed away
Now – it's dark inside – shame and guilt is our child

There's no light where we stray
No salvation where we aim
Don't want to die if I never lived
Close the door you're on your own

Pain – is all they left behind
Pain – is all that's left inside

Right here – I fall
Right here is where it ends
Blood in my eyes
Blood in my mouth

Moving on – but can't you see
We're just an inch from falling down
Walking backwards embracing the dead
Can't go back – you're on your own
Now – it's dark inside – shame and guilt is our child
Now – it's dark inside – memories stahed away

9. A Crippling Heritage

What is wrong with you, it's broken
We are done, can't you see
You're dying, how can you laugh at me
This pain is nothing
Defeated – broken – bleeding
All I've got – is what I – was given

And it's always one more lie
Can't go on, can't go back
And it's always one more lie
Stuck in this trap

Do I serve – your purpose
What is this – what are we doing here
Hold your breath now – for how long – for too long – it's done
Defeated – broken – bleeding
All I've got – is what I – was given

Burn these images into your eyes
Look behind all this and realise
I don't know what is breaking inside
I don't know what I'm going to find

Stuck in this trap
