1. Insight
It all started a long time ago
Another day, another life
When all images were black and fading
Some will say they didn't know and
And some can state it didn't show
Well I don't really care,
I keep it all inside - AH!
I've had to cross a million years
Beaten many on my way
And never needed healing
I've had to cross a million miles
Survived terror in disguise
And came to understand
I've had to cross a million years
Beaten many on my way
And never needed healing
I've had to cross a million miles
Survived terror in disguise
And came to understand
I saw myself running
And call out in need of misery
I'm in this war, all alone,
As long as I have to
I was trying to see things
I did not want to see
Lost beauty, lost decay
I'm in this war, all alone,
As long as I have to
And so I'll try again - Start the day with a storyline never heard
And so I'll die again - Trying to face that the story is true
The story too
I've had to live a million lives
Had to suppress it all inside
Never found a reason
I've had to win a million fights
Had to relive them every night
Now I understand
I've had to live a million lives
Had to suppress it all inside
Never found a reason
I've had to win a million fights
Had to relive them every night
Now I understand
I saw myself running
And call out in need of misery
I'm in this war, all alone,
As long as I have to
I was trying to see things
I did not want to see
Lost beauty, lost decay
I'm in this war, all alone,
As long as I have to
And so I'll try again - Start the day with a storyline never heard
And so I'll die again - Trying to face that the story is true
The story too
I find myself awake
Crying out to non-existing images
Waiting for my long-lost friend
Puzzled by my own reflection
Deprived of all innocent remarks
A journey into the final quarter
I must collect all the chosen memories
And finish the game again
Wake up my enemy, my friend
For reality fails
It keeps me from falling asleep
Never as one
As much as I wanted to
I want to
Freedom fails as long as I have to
Find another way to cross a frontier
Or run far away
I would find another way to cross a frontier
Or run far away
I should find another way today
Find another way to stay
Never will I ever be confronted
Never again, yeah, will I be confronted
It all started a long time ago
Another day, another life
When all images were black and fading
Some will say they didn't know
And some can state they didn't show
I don't really care,
I keep it all inside - side - side - side - side
2. Alienation
Destiny's right, I'm known to survive
We're only here for another day
Destiny's right, I'm known to survive
We've made our plans on this final day
Breaking it up
Breaking it up
Breaking it up now
Please wake me up from this nightmare
Never enough on this nightly ride
Time to move on 'cause it's almost over
Well I'll be
Leaving it all in this nightmare
Memorize thoughts in this night gone blank
Opening up 'cause I'm sick of waiting for this
There's got to be a man who dares it all
Who knows all the secrets
Who tells you why
There's got to be a reason not to know
I've got to find the strength to carry on
Destiny's right, I'm known to survive
We're only here for another day
Destiny's right, I'm known to survive
We've made our plans on this final day
Breaking it up
Breaking it up
Breaking it up now
Fearing it all in this daydream
Erasing it all in this day gone black
Pushing it all 'cause I need to know now
I would be
Trying to hide in this daydream
Taking my time in this day gone bad
Please wake me up
'Cause the world rests on my shoulders
There's got to be a man who dares it all
Who knows all the secrets
Who tells you why
There's got to be a reason not to know
I've got to find the strength to carry on
Destiny's right, I'm known to survive
We're only here for another day
Breaking it up
Breaking it up
Breaking it up now
Destiny's right, I'm known to survive
We've made our plans on this final day
Breaking it up
Breaking it up
Breaking it up now
I've taken it all 'cause it's easy
Rewinding thoughts known as memories
Taken it all 'cause the show is over
I've taken it all 'cause it's easy
Writing my lines as the riddle says
Taken it all 'cause I'm always on my way
I've taken it all
Could not belong
Never a thought without reason
With a lie
With a smile
With a reason why
I'll never be part of the season
And I ache and I cry and I feel and sigh and I hate
And I crawl and hide
And I ache and I cry and I feel and sigh and I hate
And I crawl and hide
I'll always try
But I have one question:
Why?
3. Upgrade
Here I am
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of my world
Damned fool
I'm ready to beat you
Did you realize you were a part of my problem
Did you realize that it's all in my head
Now I watched you with resistance, from a distance
Never a devotion, no emotion
You're looking down at me, but even down, I'm more up
I remember you much taller
I remember you, fuck
Throughout the years I've seen
So hear these cries that pound and burst within
My skin's been ripped before
We'll all fall down
All fall down 'cause it's part of my history
We all fall down a rage, insanity
Searching for sense but who are we
My stomach aches and there's no cure
I reach as day appears
We'll all fall down
All fall down 'cause it's part of my history
We all fall down and you know
That this was meant to be
Tick, tick, tick
I still am
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of my world
Alright fool
I'm ready for round two
Have you ever tried to look inside and regret my situation
Or is all you ever think about your own fear and frustration?!
Redefine your deeds
Redefine your needs
Try to walk away
But you'll know I'll stay
Next round
Moment of testing
You know you can't win
Now I see through you
Are you ready for me?
Throughout the years I've seen
So hear these cries that pound and burst within
My skin's been ripped before
We'll all fall down
All fall down 'cause it's part of my history
We all fall down a rage, insanity
Searching for sense but who are we
My stomach aches and there's no cure
I reach as day appears
We'll all fall down
All fall down 'cause it's part of my history
We all fall down and you know
That this was meant to be
Fool!
I'm daring you
Preparing you
Another stone was crushed
That blocked my view
Hating you
Makes me feel it too
My war, a flashback
Meeting you
Feeling you
Resenting you
A day has passed
I'm still alive
No thanks to you
Meeting you
What I would do to you
My war, a flashback
Killing you
It's in my head
We'll all fall down
It's in my head
Making up a destiny
And making up time
So you've faced reality
Try and face crime
This is my reality
I've conquered the black
You've crossed the red line
Now there's no turning back
'Cause it's all in my head when I'm waking up
Find another lifeline!
Find another lifeline!
'Cause it's all in my head when I'm waking up
Find another lifeline!
Find another lifeline!
4. My World
He knows his way around
Many footsteps on his road
He knows the way it sounds
He's been fooled so many times
He only knows to sacrifice
Well welcome to my world
And welcome to my pain
These are the fears that last
These are the fears that won't go so fast
And become a memory
These are the years that last
These are the years that don't go by so fast
A lasting memory!
He finds it hard to be
He accepts and knows the rules
He finds it hard to see
He's been told so many lies
He understands the reasons why
Well welcome to my world
And welcome to my pain
These are the fears that last
These are the fears that won't go so fast
And become a memory
These are the years that last
These are the years that don't go by so fast
A lasting memory!
This is my world
So how can it be yours?
A reason to conquer
Always a thought
That's waiting to haunt you
Justice falls
And leaves you peacefully
And accept that it's eternally
I'm blind, but now I see
No remorse!
5. Lakeshore Drive
I'm just a traveler
Booked a flight
Took the bus
Drove the car
Far away
Did you see me
Pass you by
Buy a drink
Took a note
Far away
All I ever really wanted was some peace of mind
All I ever really wanted was this bench I see
All I ever really needed was the wind in my head
I'm just a traveler
Booked a flight
Took the bus
Drove the car
Far away
Did you see me
Pass you by
Buy a drink
Took a note
Far away
All I ever wanted was some peace of mind
All I really wanted was this bench I see
All I really needed was the wind in my head
All I really need is here
All alone at Lakeshore Drive
Watching the morning sun
All alone at Lakeshore Drive
Watching time pass by
Give me a reason
Give me one last sigh
Show me how to relate or say goodbye
Give me a reason
Give me one last sigh
Show me how to relate or say goodbye
All I really want is time
All I really want to find
All I really need is here
All I really want is time
All I really want to find
All I really need is here!
I'm just a traveler
Booked a flight
Took the bus
Drove the car
Far away
Did you see me
Pass you by
Buy a drink
Took a note
Far away
All I ever wanted was some peace of mind
All I really wanted was this bench I see
All I ever really needed was the wind in my head
All alone at Lakeshore Drive
Watching the morning sun
Watching time pass by...
6. Part Of Me
Inside I hurt
Unheard
It might be just a frozen word
Outside I'm strong
Belong
It might just be a spoken word
You lost your meaning for me
Through faked integrity
Another one who stabs and tries to walk away shot free
Don't try to disagree
Don't ever stare you see
I'm here to protect number one and that's enough of me
“Ladies and gentlemen,
Are you ready for this personal trial?
Please rise,
'Cause my court is in session.
I find the defendant guilty as charged.”
Leave me floating in the sea
I've let it become a part of me
And let the guilt trip win again and again
Unknown by tomorrow
You've reached a point of no return
Credibility's at stake
'Cause when a mind is lost
Finally
A part of me is not mistaken
The mind is lost
Yesterday's apology has lost its meaning
Inside I burn
Wrong turn
To find a reason to survive
Outside I'm cold
Untold
The only means to stay alive
Lights out
Arise
Take the blame and
Take the fall and
End it right
Final stroke
Lose again
You've opened thoughts
And closed our chapter
Killed by words
Leave me floating in the sea
I've let it become a part of me
And let the guilt trip win again and again
Unknown by tomorrow
You've reached a point of no return
Credibility's at stake
'Cause when a mind is lost
Finally
A part of me is not mistaken
The mind is lost
Yesterday's apology has lost its meaning
You're all alone
Nobody knows
The day will come
I will destroy
“And now it's time for the final verdict.
Have you got nothing to say
Before I spit out my sentence?
All comments overruled!
Will the defendant rise and fall!”
Leave me floating in the sea
I've let it become a part of me
And let the guilt trip win again and again
Unknown by tomorrow
You've reached a point of no return
Credibility's at stake
Yesterday won't be your day
7. Shipwrecked
Heard it all so many times
I was there to comfort you and answer all your prayers
Come down from the wire
Caused all this pain in my heart
You said it all too many times
Should have known I'd analyze and compromise again
Come down from the wire
Caused all this pain in my heart
When you're tired, lonesome and there's no one left to lose
When you're running round in circles, running round in circles
Tired, lonesome and there's no one left to lose
Analyze and compromise, you'll make it all come true
When I'm home free again
Home free at last
Feeling saved when a memory past
Home free again
Home free at last
Feeling saved until I start again
Free at last
A mindless drop, erase the past
Leaving it all behind
Free at last
I'm trying to hear, I feel the lie
Leaving it all behind
When you're tired, lonesome and there's no one left to lose
When you're running round in circles, running round in circles
Tired, lonesome and there's no one left to lose
Analyze and compromise, you'll make it all come true
When I'm home free again
Home free at last
Feeling saved when a memory past
Home free again
Home free at last
Feeling saved until I start again
Free at last
A mindless drop, erase the past
Leaving it all behind
Free at last
I'm trying to hear, I feel the lie
Leaving it all behind
Free at last
A mindless drop, erase the past
Leaving it all behind
Free at last
I'm trying to hear, I feel the lie
Leaving it all behind
8. Left Wasted
See me through the eyes of your enemy
Try me at the borderline
Darkness has a blinding effect on me
Waste it all, waste enough, wasting time
See me through the eyes of your enemy
Try me at the borderline
Darkness has a blinding effect on me
Waste it all, waste enough, wasting time
But then it starts
And you realize the pain
It is just another storyteller
Who wins again
My mind blew away
Another thought I created
I've found an end
So lock me up again
I will rise
'Cause it's all just a part of existence
I will rise
I don't need to pretend
I will rise
Until it's over and done
I will rise
So watch me break
Reason as become my mortality
Find me where you've lost your life
Leave me 'cause our distance was meant to be
Leave it all, leave enough
Leave this life
Reason as become my mortality
Find me where you've lost your life
Leave me 'cause our distance was meant to be
Leave it all, leave enough
Leave this life
But then it starts
And you realize the pain
It is just another storyteller
Who wins again
My mind blew away
Another thought I created
I've found an end
So lock me up again
I will rise
'Cause it's all just a part of existence
I will rise
I don't need to pretend
I will rise
Until it's over and done
I will rise
So watch me break
Don't tell me when it's time to stop
I know when to jump down
Don't tell me when it's time to stop
I know when to jump down
Don't tell me when it's time to stop
I know when to jump, jump down
Don't tell me when it's time to stop
I know when to jump, jump down
Don't tell me when it's time to stop
I know when to jump, jump down
Don't tell me when it's time to stop
I know when to jump, jump down
Now I'm back and I'm standing proud
Now I'm back in another timezone
Guess who's next, and I'm laughing loud
Guess who's next, not all memories are gone
Now I'm back and I'm standing proud
Now I'm back in another timezone
Guess who's next, and I'm laughing loud
Guess who's next, not all memories are gone
And tell me
Who to do, and tell me
Whom to beat
Tell me
Who to do, and tell me
Whom to beat
'Cause I ain't lying when I'm down
I ain't lying, wearing no crown
Tell me who is next in line until now
I've realized so many fears
So ask for time out
