Close one eye What am I? These are things I can't comprehend Cut with haste Blood I taste Lust it brings I start to descend There is no Way to get Off this track Hey! That's because It's no sweat Off my back I chose to be the one living it I take on the role Cuz I don't have a soul And I'll go down with pride To the other side Just like night Don't have sight There's no moon To brighten my hell Trade your blood For my blood And try to Become someone else There is no Way to get Off this track Hey! That's because It's no sweat Off my back I chose to be the one living it I take on the role Cuz I don't have a soul And I'll go down with pride To the other side Jump right in Different skin Be prepared To take on the rest Pieces flay Break away Don't be scared To partake of flesh There is no Way to get Off this track Hey! That's because It's no sweat Off my back I chose to be the one living it I take on the role Cuz I don't have a soul And I'll go down with pride To the other side

As I turned around to go I heard my life on the radio This I cannot comprehend As I stand closer to the end That song a true familiar trill They said to swallow all the pills They’re said to recreate the pain Even though still, you will retain The singer starts to wail his words A tale I know that I have heard He cuts deep inside of me And hangs around to watch me bleed Their song, a liquid cigarette I know that I might soon forget It’s not the same I do confess It just replaces loneliness I might find myself In a wonderfully beautiful hell But I’m still alive As far as I can tell I’ll say bye to everyone Before I start to reach for the gun Because you never live Unless you’re having fun As I turned around to go I heard my life on the radio This I cannot comprehend As I stand closer to the end That song a true familiar trill They said to swallow all the pills They’re said to recreate the pain Even though still, you will retain The singer starts to wail his words A tale I know that I have heard He cuts deep inside of me And hangs around to watch me bleed Their song, a liquid cigarette I know that I might soon forget It’s not the same I do confess It just replaces loneliness I might find myself In a wonderfully beautiful hell But I’m still alive As far as I can tell I’ll say bye to everyone Before I start to reach for the gun Because you never live Unless you’re dying young

Closed Eyes 03:35
I try to call but it would seem that there’s no reply But I keep on it even if I don’t know why That’s why… I close my eyes so I won’t ever Forget about you When you’re not around I close my eyes so I won’t ever Forget about you When I hear you We’ve grown apart but I can’t get you out of my mind I never will regret waiting all this time That’s why… I close my eyes so I won’t ever Forget about you When you’re not around I close my eyes so I won’t ever Forget about you When I hear that sound If I can’t see you anymore I will ask the heavens now To strike me down If I can’t see you ever again I will run this body down Into the ground On your face a look as cold as stone What’s inside your heart has really shown Now you got me waiting on the phone And I’m sadly waiting here alone Looks like we’ve nothing more to say! Yeah, why don’t we just throw it all away? I give a call because it’s you that I try to find But you’re okay without the one that you left behind That’s why… I close my eyes so I won’t ever Forget about you When you’re not around I close my eyes so I won’t ever Forget about you When I hear that sound

So you carried me away Screaming And I jolt from the pain Breathing, yeah You offer yourself Kindly I cast away Blindly, yeah Will I see your face no more Since you walked right out the door? You said you'd be with me 'til the end You were my friend

They say the lights are up ahead But I prefer to see the world on the run instead To move forward I take two steps back I face the opposite way on the track Ahead there's nothing I haven't traversed So I move forward while in reverse It isn't right or so they say But I laugh at you all while I'm facing the other way To move forward I take two steps back I face the opposite way on the track Ahead there's nothing I haven't traversed So I move forward while in reverse If I'm wrong the lord will strike me down But you can bet your ass that I will never be turning around To move forward I take two steps back I face the opposite way on the track Ahead there's nothing I haven't traversed So I move forward while in reverse

This morning a wave hit my head And all the world seemed to be so bright I fly around on the ground with my step All the way to see you tonight And I know I cannot be without I cannot be without I cannot be without your love I cannot be without I cannot be without I cannot be without your love The first time must have seemed so awkward (How can love be blind?) The second time you were just so kind (How can love be blind?) The third time you unlocked a river And that's when I made up my mind And I know I cannot be without I cannot be without I cannot be without your love (I made up my mind) I cannot be without (To leave it all behind) I cannot be without (And go with you tonight) I cannot be without you and your love She has her arms around me We get up off the floor I have my arms around her And I won't worry no more (I see so much love in her eyes) (I made up my own mind)

I don’t want to be stuck in here with you I don’t see why you criticize every single thing I do The only thing I can say now is “IT’S ABOUT TIME!” I can’t let you drag me down, I’ve got to go for the climb I hear you say As I walk away I told you so But now I have to go I don’t see why you force on me your view I don’t want you to forget that the points of view are two The only thing I can say now is “I WILL BE FINE!” At least I know on one side that the sun will surely shine I hear you say As I walk away I told you so But now it’s time to go I don’t want to know what you will do I don’t see why you can’t accept that I’ve gotten over you The only thing I can say now is “LOOK IN MY EYE!” I’ll be going my own way now so know that this ain’t a lie I hear you say As I walk away I told you so But now it’s time to go

This is the day That they all went away And you go flying Into yourself And they may say That you’re gone anyway But still you’re flying Like a bat out of hell You reach the clouds And now you’re feeling all proud And you wonder why They would bring you down They ask you why You wanna get stuck so high? And they reach on out And pull you back to the ground Maybe I don’t know what you said Maybe it’s all just in my head You tell a dream But you don’t say what you mean And you fill my head up With nothing but doubt If there’s the reason That you do all this teasin; Then step it on up And let it all out Maybe it’s someone else instead Maybe it’s all just in my head You better pay Or get the hell out the way Or just calm yourself Until you lose your mind Drifting along To the beat of a song That describes you well And the nothing you find Maybe you don’t care if I’m dead Maybe it’s all just in my head

We used to be so irresponsible We used to be so Immature To know yourself was the impossible Overwhelmingly insecure But let it go now Let it go now Memories you seal away Let it go now Let it go now The damages When you betray yourself We used to want to be sensational We would believe that nothing’s fair To know the truth was the unattainable And we would act like we didn’t care But let it go now Let it go now Memories you seal away Let it go now Let it go now The damages When you betray yourself Like we didn’t care And like life’s unfair When we hide away With nothing to say We used to have to be hospitable Though we’d feel trapped behind the door We wished our thoughts might be transmittable For now we know there’s so much more But let it go now Let it go now Memories you seal away Let it go now Let it go now The damages When you betray yourself Like we didn’t care And like life’s unfair When we hide away With nothing to say

Lightning struck me on the day That I became king Thousands fell and burned away To me was a sting Rising from the smoking cinder Hear what I say Otherwise take heed that I may Blow you away In this place where I can be A god In this realm I see it fit To lead you my way My disciples have a line To make you all stay "Keep you safe and keep you well We all shall succeed" Until every back is broken All fingers bleed In this place where I can be A god I have risen you all up into my greatness from a stain There will be a place of honor in my court for who remains You should never fear me, you should adore the bringer of pain! I came to between these walls That became my cage Efforts that they might employ To contain my rage They said blue will calm you down And red make you well Nothing makes a difference As far as I can tell Thank “god” this is only in my mind...

A storm is coming Darkness looms My life will end And my body in a tomb These are the last words That I save for you I hope that you won’t mourn for me too long I wish you stay together Hold all the pride you keep inside And learn to love each other Someday And this ask for This I plead That you will separate From selfish need I hope with honor You remember me I pray there won’t be sadness when I’m gone I wish you stay together Put all your differences aside And understand each other Someday
