AREA 54 LYRICS

1. My Hate

I hate the way I'm always in the wrong somehow
What do you want me?
You bitch n' moan and drain more life away each time you need my sympathy
Throw me a gun 'cos there's no off-switch on this bitch
That's always in my face

Just stay the fuck away from me
This has got to change before my hate for you is released
I can't take this

I hate the way you always twist the truth to fit your worthless point of view
I realise it's hard for you to comprehend with your reduced IQ
That all I want is some tranquility, but no, I have no room to breathe
When you're to blame for everything that's in my head
A hate that never leaves

This is the point of no return
I can't go back now
It's clear to me you'll never learn
I can't take this

It's closing in
This is closing in

2. Because of You

I'm lost in something
Can't explain the way I'm feeling
Thoughts of yesterday are gone
The truth is what I'm seeing
And with no closure
This will beat me down in all ways
Why should you care?
The winner takes it all and that ain't me

While you are sleeping fine
I'm in your maze of secrets
Such a bitch you are
You leave me here and hold no regrets
I hope you like the taste of fist
It's on the menu
Gritting my teeth for oh so long
No red is all I see

I'm not as strong as I pretend
The world is black, and it's the end
Because of you, I'm on my own
We had so much, but it's all gone

3. Lost

Should I feel ashamed
As I sit here in the rain
Of my eyes before
Wondering how this all began

Welcome to my life

Just the other day
I told myself this would go away
Thoughts I mean to hide
Crawl the walls and betray my mind

Welcome to my life

I hate this life
This life hates me

If I said some things to you
That were out of line
Then please forgive me
I am rotten to the core
And I'm sorry that you ever met me

I blame myself
You're all I have
I blame myself

I hate this life
This life hates me

If living is breathing
Am I doing OK?
Words can't save me
...Not this time

4. Excuses

Come around, talk to me
The are things that we need to discuss
I can see your way out
But you never try to help yourself

So are you better off now?
And as you fight the feelings
You must be strong and not give in
You could be better off now
You've got to fight this all the way

No more words left to say
I know there are many you can blame
But in the end you will lose
If you choose to just go on the same

And are you better off now?
If you are still here breathing
There is a chance to put things right
So are you better off now?
Just take control of your own life

Just realise that there's a world around you
We all try so hard, and you don't care at all
'Cos it's thrown back in my face
And I'm tired of your excuses
You're not here on your own

Why do I talk to you
When you don't take in a word
And reject everything
The many times I've thrown a line your way

So are you better off now?
And while I'll watch them grieving
You're gonna leave it all to me
And are you better off now?
You are that selfish you don't see

Just realise that there's a world around you
We all try so hard, and you don't care at all
'Cos it's thrown back in my face
And I'm tired of your excuses
You're not here on your own

When you just accept your weakness
How can you expect to beat this?

5. Losing Grip

Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me and how it used to be
And I wonder if you ever miss those days, they seem so far away
But me, I'm dwelling on the past
If I am losing grip, then who will save me?
I don't know why I thought that we could last
When everything must end

Sometimes I wonder why my friends were quick to say "it'll be OK"
When only I know how torn apart I feel inside, but there's still foolish pride
And when the light that hits my eyes wakes me
I know that just for a moment
I'll have you back with me and I'll be fine, but everything must end

Now it's all gone

Everything must end

6. Wasted Days

Here a new day opens
A day of chances
I will drink to that and fool myself
Blind to the truth or choosing not to see
That living in the past won't set you free

...And I (lose my chances)
Can't waste no more time
On wasted days (that never will return)
I can't change this anyway (why do I never learn?)

There's no answers in an empty bottle
I know this for sure
Yet today I've failed to change my ways
Watching everything I've tried so hard to keep
Crumble into nothing
It's the only way I know to live

...And I (lose my chances)
Can't waste no more time
On wasted days (that never will return)
I can't change this anyway (why do I never learn?)

Somehow I know I am strong enough for this
I'll keep holding onto what I still believe
There's a way out, I will get through in the end

...And I can't waste no more time
On wasted days (that never will return)
I can't change this anyway (why do I never learn?)
Time (playing, play out)
On wasted days (a million things unsaid)
I can't change (playing, play out)
This anyway (echo inside my head)

7. Political Correctness

Do you believe that at this time
You'll be understood?
Freedom of speech we do not have
And that can't be good
Words that you'll say get twisted and changed
If you speak your mind
Make your thoughts known and you'll stand alone
Hate just breeds in man's eyes

The power to choose is with me and you
The world is in our hands
We could be the same if we let old pain
Sink into the sand
All blood is red but they want you dead
If you choose to tell
Where you have been, what you have seen
Counts for nothing

If you judge on skin
It will only drag us under
Get it through your head
All this only pulls you under

How will they act when faced with the facts
Look through history
When things are hard, will they play the card
Their ethnicity
Always the same, instinct to blame
Those on the other side
But they can't see, essentially
We are all just the same

I don't judge on skin
But they're going to pull me under
I can't help the facts
Change the tune, don't drag me under now

No

If we're all the same
Then let it go for once in your life
I am not to blame
Don't play that card on me

Let it go

8. Your Turn to Fall

If there's one thing I hate
It's that still to this day
I can't shake off all the fools
So-called friends play their games
Weasel into my life
'Cos they have none of their own

But this time you've crossed the line
And you can't talk your way out
I have plans for you my friend
This bitter taste in my mouth
Is something you must sample
Why should this belong to me?

Through these eyes I have seen it all
No more lies, it's your turn to fall
I'll expose what you try to hide
What I know won't stay locked inside

If you want to push me one step further
Let's get this out of the way
'Cos I'm sick to death of this bullshit
That you tell me every day

Go back to the place you came from
I'm not someone who will take this

Now your cover is blown
No turning back, it's way too late
I have found you out
All love lost, my hate remains
Now I understand
You're a cunt who feeds off pain
But it won't be mine
Nothing left but to destroy you

So alone
No-one at your side
End of games for you
After all
You're without a friend in the world

9. Nothing to Believe In

Here I am caught in your lies again
All those years thrown away
There's not much left of me to save

Why take all this from me?
I've nothing to believe in (falling down again)
I wish my life away
As I face another endless day

Now when I look
So ugly you seem to me
Everything that we said, all means shit now
It's gone

Why take all this from me?
I've nothing to believe in (falling down again)
I wish my life away
As I face this endless day

10. No Reward

Right from birth they indoctrinate you
And old religion forced on you
You're told "This is the way to God"
They persist, slowly thoughts will alter
Open up your eyes and see
We are all lambs to the slaughter

And now we face the crimson darkness
We're locked in battle here - release me

Chinese whispers etched in stone
Passed from old to young
Ever more corrupt
Each time they're passed along
Implications grasped like straws
From this sacred book
Consider what you've missed
Take another look

'Cos soon you'll face the crimson darkness
There's nothing, no reward
The curtain just falls
And so we face the crimson darkness
We're locked in battle here - release me

You'll die for Him
But there's no-one there
We'll die for Him

Now you're sucked in, the fight is yours
You are their pawn in holy wars
Beliefs you stand so surely by
We'll see who's right
When it's your turn to die

And so you face the crimson darkness
There's nothing, no reward, just empty silence
And we must meet the crimson darkness
Wrapped in chains of conflict
Release me

11. Blood on our Hands

...And this fresh war begins
Don't they see no-one wins
We repeat these mistakes
Yet again

We live in disarray
This could be our last day
On all sides all hope will be lost
Can't you see?

Everything that we've done to this world
We should all be ashamed
What we do to them we do to ourselves
And things can never be the same

All of those lives
More lost in war again
All of those lives
