Blood Chameleon

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

My Life On The Radio
03:25
|
|||
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

Carried Me Away
03:30
|
|||
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

Cannot Be Without
03:38
|
|||
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)

The I Don't Song
03:05
|
|||
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

Those Days Are Over
03:44
|
|||
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

The Mind Divine
02:30

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...

Last Will And Testament
02:42
|
|||
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
