COLDBURN LYRICS

1. Wish I Could

So let’s sum it up
I don’t know nothing
And that’s the only truth there is
While I was wasting my life
Trying to find the right steps for the dance against time
pretending to take the heavy walk
while living the excuse, the lie and the crime
I was hoping for someone,
someone that would be pleased by my disregard
armed with the meanest coat,
I separated emotions from reason and shattered my smiles apart
I turned around and saw there was nothing at all
My head and self esteem, against the wall
Even the oddest gods only led me astray
took everything I thought I knew and threw it away
I just don’t like to be the one who walks the line
Though I became conscious of not knowing nothing
In the presence of the foe, in the presence of truth
I have to admit life’s a decline, I lost my spine
The fury I turn on everyone else is a cry for rescue
The cry for company I never wanted
Helplessly I embrace the chaos inside of me
The anger grows and grows and grows, can’t set it free
There's somethings wrong
I feel alone
I'm dead and gone

2. Burial Hill

My head is in the dirt so I can’t see a light
My thoughts are way too dark to escape the night
how would you feel about painting skulls on our faces
to pretend that something’s dead
that never felt alive
that never truly lived
Let’s build a burial ground,
Burn all our answers
to find more questions (to which) we can’t reply
'Cause it’s us against the world,
me against you, me against myself
I’ll meet you at the burial ground
Still I keep the devils inside
Force them into these walls of sound
I’ll bury the pain of being nice
'Cause after I raised all those expectations
I found them six feet underground
I used to be afraid of the dark
The fear of losing control
Since darkness has got its hold on me
My worries turned into distant memories
the hell I raised is about to break free
Oh, I waited for that time my friend
Now we’re going down together
Let’s celebrate the end
Let’s build a burial ground,
Burn all our answers
to find more questions (to which) we can’t reply
'Cause it’s us against the world,
me against you, me against myself
I’ll meet you at the burial ground
The things that should stay
Are the ones that foolishly fade away

3. Heavy Lies The Crown

The stash – where everything is far from any value
The hole – where nothing is what it seems
The gloom – source of my pain
The torch that lights the fires inside of my head
I’m talking about that place of silence
The one I picked out from all the bloody islands
Where no one knows your smell
And also the rats don’t have nothing to tell
My name goes up in smoke
My death a joke
Even plagues got no more throats to choke
My name goes up in smoke
My death a joke
Even plagues got no more throats to choke
It was a long way to reach this spot
The steps I took by myself, the miles I left behind
The secret place I call my own
You do not understand ’cause the walls are made of stone
Nothing will ever bring them down
Call me king, heavy lies the crown
Nothing will ever bring them down
Call me king, heavy lies the crown
The secret place that I can’t escape
No one gets in, I will never get out
Nothing will ever bring me down
Call me king, heavy lies the crown

4. Scour The Rust

[feat. Dan from Cold World]

Maybe I lost but I played to win
A lot can happen between now and never
so be careful with your ultimacy
untamed youth against stone-still age
both pounding hearts of my biography
if we wouldn't do anything we shouldn't
we wouldn't feel better doing something we should
If you want to have the rainbow than you must have the rain
Maybe I lost but I played to win
throughout this hazardous life
It may be true, you can not lose
if you don't enter the game
but to not play in fear of defeat
means your decay
while you were out winning the battle
you have lost the war
Keeping in mind the difference
wasting time and wasting existence
Life's nothing but the change
between happy and sad phases
we live and we die
then time exterminates us
there's plenty of room at the bottom
if you don't move, scared to break things, you'll soon be rotten
Maybe I lost but I played to win,
throughout this life of sin

5. No Need

You act like you know what tomorrow will bring
while I still wonder how to shut your face
Talking over and over about all the things
(That) happened around us in a sea of snakes
I’ve been there, drunk the water and tasted the poison
For me the reason to leave
I knew it was time to move on
Cutting off the ties, all I want to achieve
I don’t wanna say I’m sorry
Cause there’s no need to excuse
I permeated the mystery
The hollow coats, mirrors of a world I refuse
I just hope the bridges I burn will be the ones that light me the right way
And that the antidote which reaches my veins won’t paralyse my limbs
The fuse in place, please do not change, you just might be the vital spark
Looking back, I always tried to understand
wrong words that’ve been declared
everyone seemed blind or have I been wrong?
questions to myself, unheard
but to stay there without answers
clarified what I always wanted to see
So I’ll become your fiend,
the gate has closed down for good
I don’t wanna say I’m sorry
Cause there’s no need to excuse
I permeated the mystery
The hollow coats, mirrors of a world I refuse

6. Lingering Death (Melancholia II)

[feat. Chris from Cruel Hand]

Pain is the reason that keeps us alive
It’s a lingering death, violators on the rise
The world will never adjust, it’s a lie
Without a bloody hell there can’t be a clear sky

It all continues with a death by a thousand cuts
a slowly driven end, the fires died out by floods
There’s a circle of torture which cannot be stopped
the hangmen will reign while our feelings are numbed

While violence is a premise for peace
We’ll keep pushing the anger, let damnation increase
justice is in need of the hammer
the rage won’t hear the words you’ll stammer

The reason we bleed is the blood we seed
Keep following illusions, not knowing where they lead
But facing the facts lets you wish you were dead
We can’t stand the horror, living the fools paradise instead

Pain is real and we cannot hide
Brace your fears for the harsh ride

All the closed eyes, the reapers hands
Are the fears of getting hurt by ourselfes
If storys are dead pictures the future is black
When i’m done with my time here
I’m sure I won’t come back

7. Ill

„Honestly, I can’t remember teen dreams
All my (dumb ass) feelings and their meanings
They seem too see-through to be true
All the who's are there but the whys are unclear“
Thought my steps were clever
too young to know about forever
You say you don’t want to lose me, but in fact you wished you never had me
My blurred eyes did not see the lie like it was meant to be
Close your eyes and fall asleep, I feel your cold my dear bride,
You showed me your darkest side, but could you still hold me tonight?
Your company made me feel the way I wanted to feel
But after all I wasn’t good enough I didn’t appeal
Though it was an illusion, it seemed so real to me
(I) had to burn down my safe spot (to) escape from self-made misery
Came closer to the point where my mind was shed
Now I question the moves I made and the words I said
since it’s no pain no gain thanks for the gift you gave me
showed me the disappointments I'm now able to foresee
you had put me in my place and I didn't know where to stand
still I feel no thrill and I still believe that life is ill

8. Fountain Of Fantasy

Oh, it hurts that we can’t take the easy way out,
So (that) you could just tell me lies
Day by day the horrors grow and our future dies
Oh, it hurts that I can still feel what I can’t say
Shed tears put out the blaze that lighted my way
I need this feeling of loss cause when I lose it I won’t feel alive
Go on, call me crazy and brace the walls I’m in
But I am feeling blessed with my inner strife
How can I stand with both feet safe and sound
when my views are always upside down
Yeah, you keep dragging me deeper and deeper
Into those waters of madness
In which I will drown
While you pointed your gun on the failures you’ve found
I took the whole damn ride with my face down on the ground
Your words are nothing but hollow tips through my heart
In the end life’s a play in which we both take part
I need this feeling of loss ’cause when I lose it I won’t feel alive
Go on, call me crazy and brace the walls I’m in
But I am feeling blessed with my inner strife
Go on, call me crazy brace the walls I’m in
Forever stuck in this feeling of loss
Fountain of fantasy, the original sin

9. Twentytwo

I was never asked if I wanted to grow up
I never wanted anything to make sense
felt alive in the depths of youth
it kept me going all by myself
The lessons that wanted me to behave
were those I dreamed of when I woke up afraid
I see the heavy rain in front of me
and hear the hours ticking so fast
I wanna safe it all before it’s too late
Twentytwo,
breath to die, turn to dust and learn to fly
Twentytwo,
that’s where I fall apart and where I come to life
Stony paths, they led my way
it felt so good to go astray
blessed ignorance, I call it youth
spent nights of bliss and days of sorrow
the road that never ends is the one to follow
tried so hard to live by the codes of youth
realized my believes will turn to dust
fortune walked away from me
I don’t like myself anymore since I’m twentythree
Twentytwo,
breath to die, turn to dust and learn to fly
Twentytwo,
that’s where I fall apart and where I come to life

10. Letdown

The arrow is broken I don’t know how to follow
directions lost, all safe roads have been shut down
I traveled back and forth just to find my confidence dead
I know I have to move on
So many options to choose from, just a letdown ahead
Oh brother, please tell me what’s my malfunction
feels like the devil just cut my throat so he cut the junction
my blood is poisoned by a strange disease
I can’t change, say I’m dead, let me find my peace
to improve means to change
to be perfect means to change more often
the desire for weakness is starting to soften
trying to escape became such a routine
by all means these chains are too tight
so what should I do
I was there before I even knew
to improve means to change
to be perfect means to change more often
you might call it cliche
but that’s the game that people play
so brother, look what I’ve become
follow the tracks of how I came undone
so brother, look what I’ve become
follow tracks of how I came undone
please tell me whats my malfunction
feels like the devil just cut my throat so he cut the junction
my blood is poisoned by a strange disease
I can’t change, say I’m dead, let me find my peace
