IN FLAMES LYRICS

1. F(r)iend

[But I think the most touching question is, why did the world start?]

As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So, ironic when you called for a favor today

It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'Cause as you preach
You're opening the door to your egos past

There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive
But those days are gone
I see them fade

Uh!

Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

I learned to mute the anger
I never thought, I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here

Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

I ran as I saw the end
Should I have joined the fight instead?
Hope you are listening
'Cause now times have changed

[Solo]

I take a look around
I say this moment is mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage

Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

2. The Quiet Place

Spinning further, deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be your slave
Push the dirt, make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world

And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
Good king in my own mind
Everything's in place,
So much brighter from today

Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep running free
Open scares, the quiet place
All the bridges fall to the ground
And you say you sacrificed

And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down (bow down)
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place (judge me now)
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind

(Judge me now)
A king in my own mind
(Judge me now)
A king in my own mind

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down (bow down)
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place (judge me now)
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind

3. Dead Alone

I will always belong to the shadow
Don't show me new results
I will never enter your heaven
Make the most of my dirty cell

Creeps infected by control
That's what put me in here
Dig deep
Don't think you ever get to the place where they buried me

The last glimpse that I have
Fragments, pieces of some things valuable
Even though it doesn't make sense anymore
I release my last tear

My frustration, my conversation
Why are we even here?
The abuse that we use
I do not longer care

The cold worms and me
(We are alone and free)
The dead light inside
Fuel to new seed
(We are alone and free)

[Solo]

When there are only my bones
Please, put them in use
Want to be part of a new dawn
The darkness disappears

Don't release these chains
Never been closer to myself
All your mistakes run though
As I realize what we become

The end is here to bid farewell
I'll turn to ash and hear them sing
Songs about my emotions, dead and alone
Don't make an effort, you don't know me anyway

My frustration, my conversation
Why are we even here?
The abuse that we use
I do not longer care

The cold worms and me
(We are alone and free)
The dead light inside
Fuel to new seed
(We are alone and free)

4. Touch Of Red

Reaching depth of clarity
I'm not supposed to be like this
I should be on the top of the world
Is anybody out there like me?

I followed, something's missing
Self control forcing me down
Whispers consume the air
Above her I'm endless

When the rain comes falling
I'll freeze, I'm so afraid
When the things start to flood me
I will drown in seconds

Fear - there's a way out (a way)
Touch of red break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's a way out

As If I ever had a choice
Al in the hands of the energy
Once again feel the quicksand swallow me
Tonight I won’t struggle

Fear - there's a way out (a way)
Touch of red break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's a way out

The weak in me should know
I'm as sober as I could be

[Solo]

Fear - there's a way out (a way)
Touch of red break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's a way out, there's a way out

5. Like You Better Dead

I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn
I think you’re way too cold
Just watch and learn

I'll never sleep here anymore
My house is not my home
I like you better dead
And I'm better off alone

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow (morrow, morrow, morrow, morrow…)

Your vision may be in colour,
But you look all pale
In these times we should be learning,
But with you I'll always fail

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow

I need to save myself before I drown
It took too long to see
The world your mind creates
It pushes me under

Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow, auh!

6. My Sweet Shadow

I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity
To fill the holes inside

An ever moving stream
With glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to pass lies
And I know, I should let go

(Tamed with confidence of a brighter future)

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no…

Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded?
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain echoes fade

Burn out!

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no…

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no…

Fueled (hey, hey, hey… hey, hey)
Dark past lies cold (hey, hey, hey… hey, hey)
To you I look no…
Fueled

7. Evil In A Closet

We were one in words
You finished my sentence
I could never attract tomorrow
It pushes me aside

I sink in waters deep
Your presence kept me floating far from depths where secrets lie
Maybe in another life time
I can be the first you meet

I once read a poem
Held my breath but that moment’s gone
First time I felt life somewhat hurts
I need an option, a reason and some hope

Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
I wish, that I could say,
I wish, that I could be your evil, evil in a closet.

[Solo]

Uah, yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
I wish, that I could say
I wish, that I could be your evil, evil in a closet.

8. In Search For I

It hurts to think
Can't get the sums together
Would you draw my bitterness?
Make the pictures fade

Could it be that I see
What's beneath when we fall
The truth in ever
I'm scared that I will be

The sentence is light
But my eyes see a different world
And all I do is turn into flames

Will time open my vault?
New solution, I am begging
Break the fuse that holds me back

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you the "M",
It might even be the "E"
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

Distract,
Push me in another direction
This wall that I stare into
It's getting old

Give me faith to reach for the new
Pull me apart and do me all over
I'll need a re-make
To make up for my mistakes

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you the "M",
It might even be the "E"
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?

What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you the "M",
It might even be the "E"
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

9. Borders And Shading

You take a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults as a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain, auh

Oblivion can no longer shade you
Reminded by the tattered tissue

Bleak silence
Errors stigmatized in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far behind, be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself, don't end up zero
'Cause I look the other way

I will crawl into your vault
Pass snakes and old rotten thoughts (rotten thoughts)
Leaving a hotbed of virulence
Your world inside slowly redesigned

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far behind, be my hero (so far, so far, so far)
Drift away
Save yourself, don't end up zero
'Cause I look the other way

Auh!

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far behind, be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself, don't end up zero
'Cause I look the other way

You're so far behind, be my hero
Drift away (save yourself)
Save yourself, don't end up zero (save yourself)
'Cause I look the other way (save yourself)

10. Superhero Of The Computer Rage

I am the past, the future
I've been chosen
You think it's over
But I'm ready to go

I’m what you fear
I have been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time

I am a surprise
Even to myself I'm a genius
Superhero of the computer rage
In plastic I'll bury

I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time

Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride

Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise, I'll make sure that you die in time

I am the maggot
In your infected life
No matter how hard you try
I'll leave without a scar

I am a legend
In your infotainment life
It's when I say “It's over”
It's you who's been chosen

Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride

Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise, I'll make sure that you die in time

Auh!

Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-auh)

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise, I'll make sure that you…

Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise, I'll make sure that you're dead

11. Dial 595-Escape

Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The other side I crawl
You push me out, I fall

Heal my wounds with everything away
You complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last time
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend
Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space exists beyond
In silence I dwell displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfillment, uh-auh

Heal my wounds with everything away
You complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last time
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked (the wicked) descend - I hide

[Solo]

Auh, heal my wounds with everything away
You complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last time
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
The wicked descend - I hide

12. Bottled

I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by
Don't ask me the same questions
Just deny I am there

Like the time around me
This room is filled with nothing
Fell awkward in a place with many
Leave this space to me

I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward

Still and breathless
I don't care what's behind
To you I look for energy
To catch my breath again

I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again

Yeah! I'm in circles again
Yeah!

The world looks old to me
Tonight I drink myself sober
Soon this could be over
Take a picture of the pale

New morning knocking
Feels just like always
Pen down my regrets
I reach to you again

I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again

I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I'm in circles again, yeah!

13. Discover Me Like Emptiness

I run this world alone
A song stuck in my mind
Are you feeling alright?
Don't mind if you ask me once

Discover me like emptiness
A defense for a broken heart
Still offers a smile to the world betrayed

Always close to the drop
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall

Blame me…
Escape me…
It was you who walked away
Tie me…
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you

Could never stand the middle
Want to go far and further
But something drags me down
Shapes me, forms me into delusion

Always close to the drop
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall

Blame me…
Escape me…
It was you who walked away
Tie me…
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you

As I bank other options
Make this picture distant
Signing off, leave me alone
I blur you into the never

Always close to the drop
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall

Blame me…
Escape me…
It was you who walked away
Tie me…
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you
