L'inevitable 03:00
Intro: I hear her laughter Her red heart beating This lonely traveler This feeling yearning Verse: This garden I see Of fire and brimstone No life grows at its feet Always forlorn Chorus: My eyes befell on her dance, a damsel fair Untarnished pure, radiating light Would you come and meet this friend of the night Into my lair My lair My empty soul, it pines for a caress And I shall not sit forevermore She will be mine, through love or duress I will prevail, this prison will keep me no more End: And when she'll close her eyes She will see mine.

Part 1: Awakenings Verse 1: She wakes up in the morning, Her eyes searching her room A joyful smile against the gloom Of a new day She stares across a painting Absorbed, exchanging looks As a trail of Schelling books Are paving her way Sunlight cracking though the window Showering her face As each ray would trace The head of a Mae The floor creaks softly Underneath her naked feet As she heads down to eat And start her day Chorus 1: Such a beauty Never fading Come to me My innocence Treading slowly Never stopping Bathed in beautiful Innocence Verse 2: She stares into the mirror Her eyes glistening A cold necklace stiffening The skin on her neck The golden chain comes of And she fits into her dress As she starts to caress The scar on her chest For fifteen years She held her head down for her friends Following the latest trends And all would smile They say "I wish I was like you Ambitious, smart and strong willed too" And she hoped so too Chorus 2: Such a beauty Always fading Come to me My innocence Treading slowly Never stopping Veiled from what is Killing her Killing her Transition: With every beat one hair falls down Till you can fit my crown Part 2: Panic Attack Verse 1: Your heart is racing quickly Your head is spinning sickly You hear the beat inside you You feel it bite and chew You stare into a lightbulb And never feel the pull And you turn up the white noise Hoping to keep your poise Outrunning the bulldozer But it keeps getting closer Black shadows right behind you Unrellenting on pursue Preparing the incision Subverting to high treason You see yourself denying That you are slowly dying Verse 2: Fear sets the tempo here Before you dissappear Showing you compassion Drowning in the mansion Preparing the incision Subverting to high treason And it keeps getting closer And it keeps getting closer Bridge: How long do people need to push the knife Until it reaches your heart? And hold your mouth open so you can take A nice good look at who you really are And every little compliment feels like buzzing in your ear The truth is you couldn't give two shits Cause you barely even give a fuck about yourself. You listened your whole life to people talk about your immortal potential While spending all this time looking for your own mortality But you didn't even pay attention. As long as people are happy watching you skip around your life You are happy to wait till your hair falls off To fit my crown Part 3: Nightmare Scream: Who knows you best? Every time you try to rest I am the exhumer Who brings out the best in you Verse 1: I will defile Till nothing's left but drought Just force your smile Till you start foaming at the mouth Chorus: There's a reason For every drop you bleed The soul's in season So let the roaches set you free Scream: Who knows you best? The guest you're keeping in the mirror I've been waiting for eons To find someone as broken as you Verse 2: With every beat One tiny hair falls down Rince and repeat. Till you can fit into my crown Chorus: There's a reason For every drop you bleed The soul's in season So let the roaches set you free Part 4: Aftermath Distance growing faster Cleaners in the graveyard Don't mind the ramblings of a forecaster It doesn't have to be hard Angels waiting for you Put your head to rest In the morrow, reborn anew It's just a nightmare.

Verse 1: Rude awakening The scratching of my voice stiching your eyes awake Every damned moment, choking on your spirit Clawing out its head through your throat Trapped between the sheets As terror wraps around Your puny fragile bones Twisting your reality Floating in a kaleidoscope Relentless pulsing nightmares A sickened ghost awaits you Seeping out with blood shot eyes Dear mother crying in the bedroom Dear daughter raising up her own tomb Dear father locked inside the study Dear lover, do you have anybody? Chorus: Into the night poor Anna would weep These foreign thoughts have troubled her beauty sleep Her willpower dwindles, it comes undone With a last breath from the dark one she starts to run Verse 2: Rude awakening Sink inside the hidden shadow Blooming a monster from decay Tearing of your heavy halo Dear mother crying in the bedroom Dear daughter raising up her own tomb Dear father locked inside the study Dear lover, do you have anybody? Chorus: Into the night poor Anna would weep These foreign thoughts have troubled her beauty sleep Her willpower dwindles, it comes undone With a last breath from the dark one she starts to run Far away from home Bridge: That night Young Anna ran away Fading out of sight To find the light of day That night She had forsaken herself Not knowing what was right She found her way to me We swayed throughout the dark Free Beautiful lover She left wearing my mark No one can see How the shadows love Anna

Mannequin 12:46
Verse: Neath blackened hair My lover weeps Pining to drown in my embrace Strapped on to a chair The darkness creeps Plotting escape in fleeting grace She packages her pain A gift with a bow For her mom and dad to behold A blast for all the sane Left to reap what you sow One lonely seed left in the cold Chorus: Pacing up and down the hallway Close your eyes and jump into the fray Love me in everyone's dismay Find me when there is nothing left to say Mannequin x4 An empty vessel in the sand Mannequin X4 A ghostly drought across the land Mannequin X4 The burning sun scorching the sky Mannequin X4 Just let it die. Bridge: Oh so cold Your little soul Can you see? My fire in the dark When you fold The knell will toll You'll be free Find your way into my heart Quench your sorrow Wear your gown And walk Right into my embrace By the morrow We'll go down And lock What's keeping you in place Breakdown: The rattling keys The signal sounding The wind in your knees The head drum pounding Now you're jumping throgh hoops Trying to find the noose My shadow looms As your spirit comes loose Chorus: Pacing up and down the hallway Close your eyes and jump into the fray Love me in everyone's dismay Find me when there is nothing left to say Call the sharlatans on their bluff When that which they love has ended up dead Many had cared, just not enough Fade to black to the siren in your head

The Pill 11:58
Intro: You woke up to bright lights in your eyes A muffled voice surrounds you with its cries Somewhere down the line You got tangled up You woke up to bright lights in your eyes The fiery blast inside you quickly dies Somewhere down the line You got tangled up And you were dragged into the light Tripping up your soul is falling Down the drain away from me Somewhere down the line The silence was broken Wrapped in sheets Tubes in your arms One light keeps flashing In your eyes Verse 1 (Doctor): Vital signs are stable Tell me child Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Take her off the table Her concussion is mild She can't hear us now. She can't hear us now. I'll see her in intensive care I'll check on her soon Let her mother know she is fine Let her mother know she is fine. Make sure she has plenty of air And clean up her wound She is lucky to be alive. She is lucky to be alive. Chorus: My Anna went so far away Sleeping in every cursed day When I call out I hear nothing back The familiar pain of losing track Verse 2 (Doctor): Good morning there, Anna You've been through a lot Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Your wounds have healed enough We'll just give you one more shot And you're free to go. Yes, you're free to go. Chorus: My Anna went so far away Sleeping in every cursed day When I call out I hear nothing back The familiar pain of losing track Bridge: Mother take away the child from evil "Take The Pill" X4 The swarming water in your head is giving you upheaval "Take The Pill" X4 Interlude: No one Prays for you Break the silence Take the pill Breakdown: When you find yourself at home Paint your hair in blue and chrome Sink in the water Leave your groom right at the door He will bother you no more Sink in the water Believe it It's over Embrace it Rejoice And the family's all around you They all know you're fine So much light dancing inside you "I am fine!" End (Anna): Cold sweats, aching For his crimson touch The eyes, breath, searching For his hollow embrace Weak walls won't Keep you from my clutch Every day I wake saying your name

Intro: You wake up in the morning trapped in your room A joyful smile, forced against the gloom The ghostly heirlooms floating up and down the house Smiling eyes sucking you dry like the louse Lock away all the darkness that dwells When all your life's a perpetual fall People 'round the table conguatulate themselves Better feel nothing than anything at all Why do you frown, when what we want is best? Take your medicine, allow yourself to rest Whatever you experince is in your head Would you have rathered to be peniless instead? Verse 1: Was the love we Gave you Never enough? Can you not see? That you're killing us Will you ever be Thankful? It's never enough. Can you not see? There's nothing to discuss Chorus: Ever since my first breath I've been screaming at a wall You could look right into death And you'd see nothing at All will fail you in due time Do not drag me in the grime Verse 2: Have we never listened To your Childish problems? Have you no intention To be mature? You stay in your frisson Distant Where did we go wrong? Have you no ambition To be your cure? Chorus: Ever since my first breath I've been screaming at a wall You could look right into death And you'd see nothing at All will fail you in due time Do not drag me in the fight Breakdown: Today you'll have your answer A blindness you can't fathom Serving lies with such candour A curse on every atom I won't go down without a fight Both me and you know what is right With every beat one hair falls down Till you can finally fit my crown Take the pill X4 Ending: Sitting listless in your bed Poison waters in your head What sad bewilderment had brought Your mind deserted of all thought The idiot herd painting their sheep Trying to put the black to sleep If they can't see tears on your eyes Well they'll paint smiles in their disguise If you can't ever move on through Well they will make the move for you It's easier for when you fall That you can feel nothing at all Sitting right outside my grasp Love lets out one final gasp If they can't see tears in your eyes Well there is nothing wrong with you! Do my eyes deceive me? Are the tides retreating? No! The years the darkness growing The blinded, the unknowing! Never! Abandon your own center And leave me in to fester I! Will never go away Till you confront me in Your reflection

Verse: His brimstone fragrance fading The hound which has been tamed My chest skin started itching Right where he tagged his name As gods and kings have kissed my feet And showered me with every treat Who dareth love mine broken soul A soul Which only devils know A soul which only devils know Bridge: I'd destroy my dominion To feel for a second Your extinguishing touch On my cursed burnt heart Reckless steps burning Troy With one foot in the nether Two empty black voids Consuming eachother Chorus Tainted black flowing Round and round Yearning and yearning To find what is missing in us The black flowing Round and round Cursed to stay Forever alone and unloved
