1. Screaming
Have you ever wondered
What I'm like inside
Would you take the time to look and see
To get so close and personal
Could be a big mistake
Just a chance you'll have to take on me
Sometimes the torment
Takes over in my mind
In an ever present torrent
Close to pain
Like a building up of pressure
Close to overload
And I don't think I can take more of the same
I can't stop screaming
It's so loud no one hears a thing
I can't stop screaming
It's so loud no one hears a thing
Get closer to the precipice
And take a look inside
Does the mirror image move your mind
All I ever asked from you
Was to put it all aside
What you see is also what you find
Sometimes the torment
Takes over in my mind
In an ever present torrent
Close to pain
Like a building up of pressure
Close to overload
And I don't think I can take more of the same
I can't stop screaming
It's so loud no one hears a thing
I can't stop screaming
It's so loud no one hears a thing
2. Nightmare
Never in my wildest dreams
Could it ever be as clear
That I would see the light
From the shroud surrounding me
But clear in mind, clear in thought
I could feel it drawing near
My time is up, plane for all to see
Under cloak of darkness
Hear them call
Under cloak of darkness
The slayer gets the call
Nightmare
Like you've never seen before
It's a nightmare
You've never seen before
Incantations chanted
Are just whispers on the wind
Only for the weak to bare in mind
Alchemy and sorcery
Are powers of the blind
My time is up and I'm ready for the call.
Under cloak of darkness
Hear them call
Under cloak of darkness
The slayer gets the call
Nightmare
Like you've never seen before
It's a nightmare
You've never seen before
3. All I Got
I spend my time always searching
But never seemed to find what
I was looking for
In hopeless desperation
To satisfy what I thought
Was a bigger need
I look around what can I see
A desperation built up in me
Just one step back and it gets so clear
It's all I need to see
All I got is right before my eyes
And I realise
You have been with me all the time, with me all the time
I never thought I could feel this way
Looking past instead of right in front of me
A hopeless situation
Now I see more
More in every different way
I look around what can I see
A desperation built up in me
Just one step back and it gets so clear
It's all I need to see
All I got is right before my eyes
And I realise
You have been with me all the time, with me all the time
I spend my time always searching
But never seemed to find what
I was looking for
All I got is right before my eyes
And I realise
You have been with me all the time, with me all the time
4. I Need Love
Sure as the west winds blow
I will never know
How to deal with the lowest of lows
I need someone to tell
Me, how to cope with this living hell
My broken heart has no where to go
I need love to light my way
I need love to show me
I've got a feeling inside
I can never hide
That only the blind can't see
I wear my heart on my sleeve
And it's so hard to believe
How used up my heart can be
I need love to light my way
I need love to show me
I need love
I need love to light my way
I need love to show me
I need love
I am tired of all
The promises made
That only go inches deep
With no conviction like mine
I know its only time
That the rock slowly turns to sand.
I need love to light my way
I need love to show me
I need love
I need love to light my way
I need love to show me
I need love

<![CDATA[
You said that I'm left you one choice
You said to ease the pain
In dark and empty eyes I see
No truth but so much more to gain
My life will never be the same
The countless times it changed
No one else to blame
Now I'm stronger than you'll ever be
The emptiness aint killing me no more
There's nothing more that you can do to me
It's so, so sad it grieves me to the core
My life will never be the same
How can I tell you
That my world is over
It's so plain to see
How can I tell you
That my world is over
That's how it seems to me
Now I'm stronger than you'll ever be
The emptiness aint killing me no more
There's nothing more that you can do to me
It's so, so sad it grieves me to the core
My life will never be the same
Now I'm stronger than you'll ever be
The emptiness aint killing me no more
My life will never be the same (Repeat chorus)
6. I'm Alive
In the wilderness of mind
No sense of space or time
Innocence of action mine
In all your innocence
You will save me
Left for dead by many
You will save me
I thank god I'm alive
All essence may turn tides I'm alive, I'm alive
Came the angel heaven sent
The calling thunder is my name
There's no one else to take the blame
In all your innocence
You will save me
Left for dead by many
You will save me
I thank god I'm alive
All essence may turn tides I'm alive, I'm alive
I thank god that I'm alive
All essence may turn tides I'm alive, I'm alive
7. Don't Waste My Time
I wouldn't waste my breath
When you put me to the test
Don't you know
I haven't got the time
To listen one more time
Don't you know
I also saw it coming
Sooner than you know
Don't waste my time
You live your life in a fantasy
Don't waste my time
You're not telling me the way it has to be
You tell me that it's fate
To that I can't relate
The word is no
And so you cast away
A little bit day by day
The word was no
I also saw it coming
Sooner than you know
Don't waste my time
You live your life in a fantasy
Don't waste my time
You're not telling me the way it has to be
I've seen you for what you are
Transparent to the core
You expect me to believe what you
No lies don't care, no more.
I also saw it coming
Sooner than you know
Don't waste my time
You live your life in a fantasy
Don't waste my time
You're not telling me the way it has to be
8. If You Cut Me
Heaven help me 'cause here I go again
Lengthy conversations ringing in my head
How is it things seem to end this way
Disconnected from reality wishing I were dead
If you look at me I breathe
If you cut me I will bleed
What you see is what you get
Nothing more and nothing less
It's the same old story time and time again
The wound gets ever deeper to drain my bleeding heart
How many more times will it happen can you say
To leave me never waiting and take away the pain
If you look at me I breathe
If you cut me I will bleed
What you see is what you get
Nothing more and nothing less
As I lie here drifting slowly through the years
A single crystal vision is an open door to me
Releasing me from this feeling evermore
Spinning slowly silent in the river of my tears
As I lie here drifting slowly through the years
Spinning slowly silent in the river of my tears
If you look at me I breathe
If you cut me I will bleed
What you see is what you get
Nothing more and nothing less
If you cut me
I will bleed
9. Save Me
If it were left to me
I'b be on my way
'cause I sure as I could be
I tell no lies
I'm as low as it gets
I can see no way out
So here I am reaching out
So here I am reaching out
If there's a heaven or hell
None are with me
'Cause as sure as I can tell
I'm gonna die
Can you leave me alone
'Cause your truths are all lies
As sure as I can be
They are empty words
So here I am reaching out
So here I am reaching out
Save me
From this wilderness
Save me
From myself
You gotta save me
From this wilderness
Save me
Gotta save me
There's a heaven or hell
Sure as I can tell
I'm reaching out
For the last time, baby
I'm on my way
For the last time, baby
10. Witchcraft
I'm getting restless in the night
I'm in a cold, cold sweat
And I know that can't be right
But I want you all the same
And I feel breathless
As I see you walking nearer
My heart is racing faster all the time
Oh no it's a feeling that I have
You're practicing your witchcraft
Out on me
I see your face it's in a dream
Can't seem to get away
I'm at a point I need to scream
But your gonna have me anyway
And I feel breathless
As I see you walking nearer
My heart is racing faster all the time
Oh no it's a feeling that I have
You're practicing your witchcraft
Out on me
I can't help myself
I never heed the warnings
I guess I'll do it every single time
Then I look at where that gets me
It seems I'm going nowhere
Falling for it every single time
Oh no it's a feeling that I have
You're practicing your witchcraft
Out on me
11. How Long
How long
Now I see clear as all comes flooding back to me
A lifetime of visions
All truths and all lies
In all that I see
As I lie here waiting
For the curtain to be drawn on me
Every shallow breath I take
Could be the last
How long
Should I make peace
With all those I waged war upon
In battle so strong in death I belong
To hell woth them all
As I lie here waiting
For the curtain to be drawn on me
Every shallow breath I take
Could be the last
How long (must I wait)
How long (before I die)
How long I gotta wait
I'm slipping down
How long I gotta wait
Slipping down
How long (must I wait)
How long (before I die)
12. Abyss
Deeper Infinity
Nothing stops the insecurity
You've taken the very best of me
Take a look inside I seem devoid of any nevermind
How was I so blind
How come I missed the signs
Obvious blinding passed me by
Leading to spirals ever down
Into abyss
Cold dark and lonely
In the abyss
I hope I get to see the light again
Now you look at me
I'm only half the man I used to be
They've taken the very best of me
And in a selfish pride
Locked away tearing me apart inside
How was I so blind
How come I missed the signs
Obvious blinding passed me by
Leading to spirals ever down
Into abyss
Cold dark and lonely
In the abyss
I hope I get to see the light again
As the pain subsides
I hear the echoes of your distant lies
How was I so blind
How come I missed the signs
Obvious blinding passed me by
Leading to spirals ever down
Into abyss
Cold dark and lonely
In the abyss
I hope I get to see the light again
Cold, dark and lonely
Cold, dark and lonely
Cold, dark and lonely
