Reincarnation Dance

reincarnation dance
Like a rat in a maze I wander
Lost
Lost
treading the same old ground again and again
I endure my nights and waste my days
trying to find my way
to a place that's warm and safe
where the nightmares can't reach me
and the voices fade
I'm a prisoner of my own desires
I'm a prisoner to my dark obsessions
and the darkest one is you
the darkest one is you
the darkest one is you
I've dreamed that I've lived a life before this one
memories from before this body's time
another man, another land
in a time that seems so far from here
what did I do then to end up here
what did I do to deserve you
what did I do to deserve you
what did I do to deserve you
and if there was a life before this one
then there will surely be another to follow
when this one is done
and the threat of death is a hollow one
it is nothing to fear
for death is merely the bridge between one life and the next
and if there is another life when this one finally is done
there must be lessons to be learned
I understand about enduring pain
I've learned some things from you
I've learned some things from you
I found Hell's torment when I met you
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
When you're sworn to living on the edge
it's hard to watch your step
we had nothing there to catch us when we fell
somewhere in between would be safe and less extreme
but we're not the kind of people to do that well
Don't have to die to visit Paradise
Don't have to die to go to Hell
you only die to cross the bridge
no dark without the light
no day without the night
no hot without the cold
you're young and then you're old
we could have another chance
we could have another dance
my darkest obsession has always been you
maybe in the next life, baby
maybe in the next life, baby
my darkest obsession has always been you
another chance
another dance
follow me
follow me
follow me to the next life, baby

Mask

Mask
under the mask there's another mask
you've forgotten who you want to be
the face that you wear is a task that you bear
it keeps you safe from me
what's behind your mask, I used to wonder
the one that you show me
are you as cautious as I am
are you afraid to be free
every road that I have travelled
has led me back to you
but after we had shed the masks that we both wore
we knew that we were through
sometimes things just don't work out
sometimes people grow apart
instead of moving on
you nurture rage in your black heart
if you can't have me then no one can
it's you or no-one else
but why I just don't understand
you'd drag us both down to hell
your mood's wings soar high and dive low
take me places I've never been
places I never wanted to go
your heart is black
like a crack in the earth
your stare is cold like a snake
your smile is without mirth
when you laugh, I hear things break
the flame that feeds your crazy passion
is the fire that burns the ones you love
you mock the devil in his deepest pit
you curse the gods above
you've got to let it go
you've got to let it go
not for my sake but for your own
you've got to let it go
you say that you can't help yourself
you laugh and blame the stars
the cold vengefulness of Scorpio
the angry wrath of Mars
the mask you wear to protect yourself
has become who you are
the face you always show
to survive your constant fear
has left a brutal scar
the armor that you wear to protect yourself has become the only face I see
the armor that's grown around your heart
is scaring the hell out of me
the thorns that have grown around your cold black heart
are bringing the mean out in me
you've got to let it go
you've got to let it go
you've got to let it go
I don't frighten easily but you're scaring the hell
out of me
and I've got no more to give
I've got no more to give
why can't you see what you're doing to yourself
why can't you just let it go
why can't you just let go
you've got to let it go

Invisible Girl

Invisible Girl
you're the invisible girl
I don't see you anymore
I don't hear you anymore
I can look right past you
I can see right through you
like I never knew you
a hundred thousand times
you've told me you don't need me
now I'm dead and gone to you
you'll no longer bleed me
if only I didn't drag you down
o, the things that you could do
be careful what you wish for
for it might one day come true
you're the invisible girl
I don't see you any more
the invisible girl
be careful what you wish for
for it might just one day come true
be careful, o so careful
what you wish for
for it might just one day come true
I don't see you anymore
I don't hear you anymore
I am long gone
and you were never there
I'm all through
I'm all through with you
I'm all through
Lonely is a cold and cruel winter
knowing that you're growing old alone
bitter was my heart
tortured was my soul
with the wind as my companion
I roamed so far from home
I roamed so far from home
I know how dreams can linger
I know what nightmares are made of
one day I woke up and I realized
I don't need your twisted kind of love
I don't need your twisted kind of love
I no longer need your twisted kind of love
Lonely is a cold and cruel winter
knowing that you're growing old alone
bitter was my heart
tortured was my soul
with the wind as my companion
I wandered far from home
I know how dreams can linger
I know what nightmares are made of
one day I woke up and I realized
I don't need your twisted kind of love

Intoxicate Me
06:42
|
|||
lost in your gaze
drunk with the smell of you
i'm in an altered state
i've reached a higher plane
cellular interaction
chemical reaction
pheremonal haze
can't get enough of you
i cannot think straight
short circuit in my brain
instinctual attraction
craving satisfaction
i can't get enough of you
i can't get enough of you
every twisted path i wander
leads me straight back to you
no matter where i am you're with me
every night and every day
and if you ever left me
i would surely lose my mind
i cannot let you go
for i do not want to know
the kind of pain that would exist
if we ever ended this
ever since the day that i found you
i've found myself lost in you
the flavor of your breath
the savor of your flesh
intoxicates me
i cannot get enough of you
lost in your gaze
pheremonal haze
drunk with the smell of you
instinctual attraction
chemical reaction
i can't get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i cannot get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i just can't get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i can't get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i can't get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i can't get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i just can't get enough of you
and i don't care what they say
i cannot get enough of you
and i don't care what they say

A Star Falls
08:27
|
|||
words don't come out easy
when they come out at all
systems crumble all around us
we watch in amazement as the empire falls
I sit safe in my prison
amidst my own decay
wait in vain for the sun
to bring new light to the day
when i look at your picture
I think of the one I used to know
before the stars went to your head
and you became part of the show
you twisted your reality
traded in your soul
gave up who you really were and crawled inside your hole
you traded your reality
gave up your soul
gave up who you really were
and crawled into your black hole
dried blood on the glass
dried blood on the floor
echoes of your laughter
drown out the pounding at the door
blood on the floor
blood on my hands
my focus narrows as my vision expands
tears stain your photo
as I remember what you said
I see the monsters in the hallway
and your face in my head
I see the monsters in the hallway
I see the monsters in my head
how can I explain
what was real has all been changed
how can I accept
that there's really nothing left
How can I go on
I'm past the point of no return
how can I keep a happy face
with all that I have learned
when did you start believing
all the stories they invented for you?
i see red in my head
your shadow on the floor
memories that never were
I can't make believe any more
I was numb and apathetic
til the anger became stronger
can't go on like this
can't go on for any longer
I can't go on like this
can't go on for any longer

Waiting for the End of Days
Your smile no longer entices me
you've used up all your tricks
the damage you've caused can't be undone
there's nothing left to fix
I look into your reptile gaze
don't like what i see there
there is no soul behind those eyes
icy predator stare
you devour as much as you can
without a thought, without a care
the truth is a frightening and complex reality
you attract your prey with the lure of your sexuality
once inside your trap it's over
you begin your deadly dance
there is no escape from your embrace
fatal last romance
I know you're waiting for the end of days
that does'nt excuse your reckless ways
Can you sink into your depths
surviving what you see
I understand you all too well
but your'e not getting me
I know that i have never ever felt this way before
the danger of your crazy games doesn't thrill me anymore
I look into your reptile gaze
don't like what i see there
there is no soul behind those eyes
empty predator stare
waiting for the end of days
when you will show us who you really are
waiting for the end of days
waiting for the end of days
so you can drop your mask and have your way
