JACOB'S DREAM LYRICS

1. Welcome to My World

Welcome to my world, a constant solitude
Where felicitation will never dare to intrude
These thoughts within my head are overbearing
Hooked on cocaine and pain, I'm never caring

Welcome to my world
Welcome to my hell
Welcome to my world
I'm the one who fell

I've filled my veins with heroin
I've stuffed my nose up with cocaine
My dreams had a hunch toward reality
Even though I've killed my brain
Why do you ask who I am?
'Cause I don't even know
My addiction made me
A stranger to myself
The man I used to know is dead

Cyanide suicide, I'd die for my own pride
This is my selfish ride with truth I cannot coincide

Welcome to me world
Of self-inflicted pain
Welcome to my world
I have lost my way
Welcome to my world
Of self-inflicted pain
Welcome to my world
I have gone insane

2. Minds Will Burn

Making a living spreading my disease
I can tell you that business is good
Killing the innocence with my addictions
My prominence understood
I've got it all, your companions to die for
I'll sell you a piece of my pain
It will clear your mind

Cleanse you of your conscience
In the end you'll have nothing to gain
Forgotten faces with nowhere to turn
I'll see to it their minds will burn
I've got your fix, your crucifix
Your destiny of illusion
No mercy for the wise, time to close your eyes
Your journey of hell awaits
Now is the time for you to taste
As you watch your life go to waste

Minds will burn
And lives are torn
Minds will burn
And lives are torn

It's all or nothing in this game I play
I will win at the end of the day
Lies are spoken and lives become broken
And this is the price you will pay
Now just look into my eyes
You believe the lies
As your journey of hell awaits
Now is the time that you will fall
You'll beg at my feet as you crawl

3. Stain

She hides their eyes from what she sees
To guard their souls from being seared
By the blackness that I bleed
What's become of me?

One necessary lie, just what it took to survive
Watch each day go a little further from the truth, from the light
I did it all for your love to keep you her with me
A killer, a thief, a liar, I did it all for you

Share the cup of my pain
Feel the sting of my shame
Wash me clean of this stain
Don't leave me this way

I risked I all to give to you
Treasures that kingdoms never knew
If you had only asked for more
I wouldn't stop until you had it all
But now you fear my bloody hands
You say I'm no longer the same man
Why can't it be as it were then?

Share the cup of my pain
Feel the sting of my shame
Wash me clean of this stain
Don't leave me this way

Your stare breaks the silence
I hear every word you say
Like a child crying in the darkness
The pain never goes away

4. Illusive Dream

Tormented by my addictions, you left me alone in despair
The husband and father that I am no more
Sometimes I wish I didn't care
This darkness surrounds me
My heart is blinded, I can no longer see
Within my soul, agony remains
I try so hard to forget the man I used to be
Lost in the silence of what I can't find
Left to remember what I left behind
I can't take back what I have done
My once hidden darkness has finally won

Seems I've lost everything that I ever loved
All for this illusive dream
That I would not let go

I gaze at my own reflection and I hate the man that I see
I know I'm the one to blame for this darkened misery
So now what is next for me, where do I go from here?
What kind of destiny awaits for me?
I can't escape this fear

Seems I've lost everything that I ever loved
All for this illusive dream that I would not let go

It's the illusive dream
I cannot hold on to the illusive dream

I want to know what's the point of this
This lie that I've lived, I am fading away
This pain inside of me, it never goes away
The sorrow I hide, there's nothing I can say

So if this is the end, I want to know who I am
I lost the one thing that I love the most
And I know I'm the reason why
So God if you can hear me now
Is there any hope for me?
Or have I gone too far on this road
Is it too late to be the man that should be

It's the illusive dream
I cannot hold on to the illusive dream

5. Hand Full of Dust

I've played my card for the last time
Seems that it's best to cut and run
The river's run dry and I leave this ball and chain behind
They will never find us on the run

Where do we go from here?
Our destiny is never clear
On our way to nowhere
We'll know our fate when we get there

I'm tired of these city streets my friend
Where two blood brothers till the bitter end
So let's hit the road tonight
Unleash the beast and ride
Let's follow the white line to the end

I held my dreams so tightly in my hands
Fantasies, illusions, and lusts
To see and be seen
By the dregs of society
Now I look and I hold
A hand full of dust

Running from the fear
The burden of my lies have lead us here
So here we are at nowhere
We'll waste our lives just as we dare

Running from the consequence of my fate
Changing my name, my alias now dead
Come on, let's get high my friend, just like we did before
Leave our reality in a cloud of dust

6. The Hell That I Breathe

My whole world torn asunder
As the weight, it holds me under
I can't believe it has come to this
This dark abyss
Why must I live in this hell made for me?
I can't go on this way
And I'm going insane

This is the hell that I breathe
Reaping this poisoned creed
This is the hell that I breath
This will be the death of me

Bleeding emotions collide
With thoughts of suicide
The starvation of my soul
The bitter taste of loss
The situations clear
I am the one to blame
I chose to take the path
That brought me this shame

This is the hell that I breathe
Reaping my poisoned creed
This is the hell that I breathe
Will this be the death of me

(Now just look at what you've done
We will all reap what you've sown)
All because of me
My best friend is dead
Echoes of guilt and pain
Screaming in my head
All that I've become
Has brought me to this point
There's no escape from this curse
My self-inflicted hell

7. The Darkest Hour

A cold embrace, memories of her face
The pain remains just the same
Madness sets in lost within
Searching, yet I never find peace

The sorrow never leaves
Can't escape these memories
Oh God, please tell me
How can I be free?

The emptiness, the guilt inside
My loss remains what can never be changed
What could have been now will never be
Dreaming of what I'll never see

The sorrow never leaves
Can't escape these memories
Oh God, please tell me
How can I be free?

8. All My Fears

Change comes like a blinking eye
Victims of the thief of time
Swimming in a sea of whys
Trade the dollar for your life

Feed the hunger deep inside
Empty never satisfied
In a world of black and white
I dream of color in the night
So jaded by the left and the right
So pray that I might see the light

All my fears
After all these years
All my fears
Fall upon me

Wrong road taken in the past
A momentary high that just won't last
Memories for so long suppressed
The painful truth, it haunts my soul
The truth I know deep inside
For too long now, I have denied
I a world of wrong and right
I dream of living another life
I'm so tired of losing the fight
So I pray as I reach for the light

9. Reborn in Fire

A broken child
Now a broken man
I'm a victim of my own pride again
So may choices made
So selfishly
It was never worth
All that it cost me
There was a time
I believed in you
You gave me a reason
A reason to live

I set my soul on fire
So many things I don't believe in
So much I cannot explain
I set my soul on fire
So many things I don't believe in

A broken home
Now a broken soul
They were victims of
My abusive sin
So many things I've done
So carelessly
It was never worth
All that it cost me

I set my soul on fire
So many things I can't take back
So many things I can't undo
I set my soul on fire

There was a time
I believed in you
You gave me a reason
A reason to live
You gave me eyes to see
When I was me

Make me reborn in fire
So many things you've done for me
So many ways I can't explain
Make me reborn in fire
Wash this wretched soul again
I throw myself before you now

Make me reborn in fire
Make me reborn
Reborn in fire
Make me reborn

10. Beneath the Shadows

Behind these walls
Underneath the stranger I'd become
There was a glimmer of light
The hope to change my destiny

After the fall of all I'd known
My true reflections had shown
No way to change what could have been
Bow to the devil I let in

It's twisting inside me
What was meant to be

Beneath the shadows of my soul
Mu wings are broken
So many chances passed me by
With words never spoken

At last I found the strength
Just enough to raise my head
Don't want to live this lie anymore
At last my demons are dead

It's twisting inside me
Like I'd never known before

Beneath the shadows of my soul
My wings now unbroken
A new destiny alive
With words I have spoken

The scars from my past
Now they seem so distant
A cruse lifted from me
My spirit set free
Cleansed in blood and fire
As a voice in the distance
Is drawing near
As it speaks to me

I rose to my feet
As the chills run down my spine
I know that I deserve to die
And yet I feel so alive

So I will rise anew
And I will say never again
The hell I thought would always last
Is now a thing of the past

It's twisting inside me
Like I'd never know before

Beneath the shadows of my soul
My wings now unbroken
Now the healing begins
With words I have spoken

Beneath the shadow (there was hope all along)

11. The Blessing and the Curse

Let me take you for a ride
Let me tell you what I've learned
Let me tell you what survived
After my whole world was torn
Since age 15 I worked the streets
A business man with all I need
Such a small price to pay
To take your cares away

I was crucified by my own pride
I was resurrected
For a chance to do things right
With all my burdens gone
My addiction is dead to me
This road I will take no more

Then my knees met the ground
And my hands began to fold
I was given a breath of life I did not deserve
A heavenly rebirth, a wretched man like me
And I could not believe that I had been set free

The blessing and the curse
With choices we make
Our fate is being reborn
The blessing and the curse
With each path we take
Our fate is reborn

I once had it made
Ten it all slipped through my hands
It lead me to a place
I never should have been
With all the lessons learned
The hold on me is gone
At last I was saved from myself

The blessing and the curse
With choices made
Our fate is being reborn
The blessing and the curse
Be careful what you choose
Your fate can be restored
It can be reborn
With each choice we make
Our fate is reborn

I was looking for a high
Never knowing the reason why
After all that I'd become
I watched my world die
The loss of the ones I loved the most
I watched them go one by one
It's a price I didn't have to pay
But I had paved my own way
I believe in Your power
I believe in Your power
Because I've been set free
