"Emotionless"

Heaven wont take me
and Hell put me in the lost and found
I guess they dont want me
and no one else wants me around
i just lie there until i'm numb all over
i feel nothing as you push me
i wait for the cover that hides me completely
but you took the only thing that will ever heal me

i reach out for the cure that always helps me repair
then i remember that you took it, and now theres nothing there
my addiction kills me inside, though you dont want me at ..all
you knew it'd make me weak, now you stand by and watch me ..fall

[Chorus]
the cameras break
and the mirrors shatter
Everyone tries to make me happy (expect you)
but in the end it doesnt even matter (you b!tch)

You've made me.... (emotionless)
You've made me... (emotionless)
You've made me .. what I am today
..Emotionless..
[End]

False reflections, Far-fetched dreams
My heart is empty, I should care more it seems
Soft sound
Everyone hears
Try to stay young
but in come the tears (the years)

???
???
???
???

[Chorus]
the cameras break
and the mirrors shatter
Everyone tries to make me happy (expect you)
but in the end it doesnt even matter (you b!tch)

You've made me.... (emotionless)
You've made me... (emotionless)
You've made me .. what I am today
..Emotionless..
[End]

"Sorrow"

I've experienced a lot of sorrow in my life
too many pains that depression had sent me
i had experienced the warmth you given me
when you hold me
i can never let you go
i want this to last forever
i can see it in your eyes
i can feel it when i'm with you
you make it all go away
you make my pain go away

[Chorus]
I don't want to hide from my fears forever
so i never want you to leave me
you took down all the pain the sorrow has given me
you make me feel alive
never will i want to suffer the sorrow again
[End]

I begin to feel when i stand here
the way is clear and drawing near
i am always wondering what will happen tomorrow
will it get better
or will it get to the point
were i want to end my life again
but no matter what happens
we will always make each other feel safe
never will we suffer the sorrow again

[Chorus]
I don't want to hide from my fears forever
so i never want you to leave me
you took down all the pain the sorrow has given me
you make me feel alive
never will i want to suffer the sorrow again

I don't want to hide from my fears forever
so i never want you to leave me
you took down all the pain the sorrow has given me
you make me feel alive
never will i want to suffer the sorrow again [fade out]
[End]

"Quicksand"

Please, help me before I become forgotten
My body slithers slowly, toward an endless bottom
No one to help me
Will you give me a hand?
I try to help myself
But sink lower into the sands

[Chorus]
Quicksand, I'm sinking too deep
Sifting, underneath my feet
Feeling, you swallow me whole
Losing, my life with no control
[End]

The lower I fall
the more my strength depletes
Should I?
Stop struggling,
not hoping for release
I begin to enjoy my final moments this deep
I still sink as I fall asleep...

As you watch me drown (pulled down)
As I fall into my tomb (consumed)
Can you help me? (can you see)
Can you help me? (set me free)

[Chorus]
Quicksand, I'm sinking too deep
Sifting, underneath my feet
Feeling, you swallow me whole
Losing, my life with no control (fade)
[End]



================

"Control"

I have struggled through life
blame only myself for it
i've made the decisions
the ones that kept me this way
i have grown up
to be the man i am today
i wouldn't take it back
not after what i have been through

[Chorus]
So i live this way
take back what is mine
i finished my lesson of fear
i learned how to end it
i made my path already
and i intend to stay on it
[End]

I focus for tomorrow's new bringing
judge for myself
everything i choose was great
but it still made me want to hate
put down my anger once again
keep it locked up deep inside again
life wasn't fair
but i won't complain anymore

[Chorus]
So i live this way
take back what is mine
i finished my lesson of fear
i learned how to end it
i made my path already
and i intend to stay on it
[End]

I lived up further than my expectations
i won't fall down after i make a mistake again
choosing my downfall isn't the key anymore
i've gained control now
i won't be so confused anymore
cause i now see
i am now finally free

"As If"

Posthumous words from a man still alive
Not long for this world, yet waits for dawn to arrive
His life - is lost - as is- his hope
He sees - his world - thru a kaleidoscope...
Yet he lives as if...
he lives as if...

Scarlet clouds drift, thru unfamiliar skies
Blood, sweat and tears drip, as his dreams go by.
Life - with - its double edged sword
Cuts - away - his hard earned reward
Yet he lives as if...
he lives as if... Chorus: As if life was honest and worth, worth the trust
As if life had made a promise to be true, true and just
As if life didn't carry, didn't carry a ball and chain
as if life hadn't married, married laughter to pain
Only fragments in his mind and a knife in his soul
Dependence and lies, are all he has now he's old
His back - is arched - in agony
As he lives - thru the death - of history Chorus: As if, etc... Bridge: As if there was a reason to live
and every day had something to give
as if to exist
was worth the risk Chorus and finish.
