At a Stage 05:26
Sat around the table made for anyone raising glasses, chanting all the time, meeting with the pleasant peace of mind At a stage something, a face kept mumbling Arguing that no one came around, petrified as if tied to the ground The same performance now and then and all the time, boredom makes itself heard in my mind, everyone feel sadness all around At a stage something, a face keeps mumbling Arguing when someone comes around, petrified while causing these weird sounds

Here 05:52
I took your advice and left myself behind Now I wait here, in my disguise trying my best to hide Alone in a crowd of lies Here I stand I'm feeling so confused When all is empty what can be misused? Will you come to me? Will you comfort me? Here I stand I don't know what to do when everything I once believed is due Will you come to me? Will you comfort me? Will you let me be me? Will you set me free, let me sleep? Please Here I stand I'm feeling so confused Why do I always have to lose? What is wrong with me? What is it I can't see? Here I'm standing by this incomplete rejected creature lying at my feet Will you come for me? Will you control me? Will you lie to me? Just to make me see Here I stand I'm feeling so confused, when all is over and can't be reused Who will come to me? Who will comfort me? Who will lie for me? Who will make me see?

What I Do 03:42
I'm throwing myself to the ground, over and over and over again You're telling me I'm too profound, you tell me I'm never around Question upon question I try to give you the answers you like Time after time when I die, I do it just to please you I don't like what I do When something I've done isn't right, when guilt is the feeling that I shouldn't hide, I visit this place in my mind where no one will ask why I lied And everything that I might do will never interfere with you But the moment before I arrive I do what's best to please you but I don't like what I do
4.
When the night so gently visits me I want to be set free and walk around inside its magic land and try to understand But when reality gets twisted by its spell and turns into this hell, where everything I see or hear or feel is meant as an ordeal I close my eyes (It's time to wake up now and make it all stop) When I see that sad look on your face it reminds me of this place Where I end up no matter what I do, it treats me oh so cruel All the faces that I've ever seen return to shape this dream When they're reaching out to touch me with their hands and say we should be friends I close my eyes (It's time to wake up now and make it all stop)
5.
When I sit home at night, my red eyes reflecting my mind, with all pictures flickering by on the T.V. I still can't understand what they're shouting about And what's the point; I'm still without In my moments of doubt when my slumber follows by cries and I want to lie down and die by the T.V. A memory from the past recycles in my head; to die is not a progress
6.
Release Me 05:59
There's a feeling controlling me; I'm not where I'm supposed to be, and out there somewhere over the sea a soul is hovering, anxiously There's a silence within me; overwhelming tranquillity, cause out there somewhere lonely but free a soul is hovering, anxiously And do you ever wonder where I may be and feel a sudden urge to search for me? I hope someday you'll find me I know someday you'll come to set me free Release me And do you ever wonder where I may be and feel a sudden urge to search for me? I hope someday you'll find me I know someday you'll come and set me free Release me
7.
On narrow ways to strangenamed places like a leaf blown away in the soft breeze, I helplessly watch myself duplicate On greenest grasscoloured field my paces lead my mind where it will be pleased, I will no longer hesitate Look at me whirling away, observing the weird images, like an abyss of lost souls My mind is in that delay, oh how the feeling lingers I have no control I'm on the wrong side of this fence here, there is no way around it I can't believe I let you be my guide I know I'm fooled now that I see clear, the warning lamp is being lit I squint and make me disappear Look at me whirling away, observing the weird images, like an abyss of lost souls I close my eyes and I pray for something to make changes, something to take away the holes As I sit here it confuses me; Why don't I sit there? Or nowhere?

Time Alone 05:38
I'm too tired now to want to try to imagine to believe in this lie And I don't really want to matter no more I don't even know how to be sure There is no way to explain my thoughts in a way that you won't try to ignore Though all my reasons you always ask for more There's no chance I can be the one you came here for And so I spend my time alone that way I've grown And when I spend my time alone I am my own It's only when I'm deep within my mind that I can be satisfied with what I find Out in the open you always ask for more, I must always do what you want me to and always adore (you)
9.
Will Think 08:02
I think I'm someone's imagination and someone is an imagination too, trying to do something so bizarre everyone will think he's crazy Trying to do something so freaked out that no one will think it's true They're gone, only a thought, never mind (Connecting on two, when I don't want to)

Behind 06:22
I can not help myself, that's nothing that my soul denies, for feeling out of range now, can not be reached in so many tries No matter you or I We have to cry We have to lie We have to die No matter you or I we must be blind You can not help yourself, there's nothing that you can deny Forgetting what it is now, forgetting how No matter you or I We have to cry We have to lie We have to die No matter you or I we must be blind Behind We can not help ourselves, that's nothing that our souls deny, for being out of range now, we can not be reached unless we die
12.
I Get By 04:30
"I'm sorry to disturb you but could we spend some time so I can put my burden on you and get on with my life? Just listen to my problems, that's all I'm asking for Please waste some of your precious time, I don't ask for more" "You always give me guidance whenever I'm in doubt so give the answers to me now, how should I go about? Just give me the solution, that's all I'm asking for Why don't you tell me what to do, I've put my faith in you" How can I tell you what went wrong? I do not even know why you two don't get along And I have my troubles of my own I have my feelings on my own, inside But I get by I get by "I need someone to talk to, I need a helping hand There's no one else that I can turn to, I hope you understand Don't just sit there silent you must give me some advice, I need a hint, a clue, a way to cover up my lies"
13.
I never understood the reasons you gave; When something turned out wrong, you had the right to blame me for far too long You pushed me down and kept me there, no matter how I gasped for air, you were drowning me but you didn't care I brainwashed myself cause I thought it might help to get me through and far away, to the entrance of that happy day But you pushed me down and held me tight, for you it must have been alright, at least that's what you said each night But every single word is unimportant to me now, where I am everything is fine And every single thought that might remind me of it now will be ignored, it isn't mine Every single word, they make no difference to me now, where I am is where I will stay And every single try to make me change my mind somehow will be a waste so go away
