Maneater 03:55
baby tell me is this the way you wanted it to be? your intentions were always kept a secret to me. Now I'm chasing after an image of what we once shared. Tell me and maybe I will understand.... tell me that you cared about me and my feelings. Or was I just another puppet for you to pull on my fucking strings. (on my strings) Now I am feeling a little confused. Was it just me? Or was I just used? Another number under your belt. They count for nothing when you're heading straight for hell! (I've had enough) Beauty is only skin deep and you are ugly on the inside. I thought you were someone in whom I could confide. Thanks for opening up my eyes, and awakening my mind to the true nature of angels. you are no angel, just another mistake like all the ones that came before you. Only someone with a heart as weak as mine could ever fall for the likes of you. But now that the storm has passed I can see things for what they really are. Really? Just a maneater!

my eyes are open to everything you did to me. Thanks for making me realise I don't need to wear my heart on my sleeve! Time spent chasing you is time I'm never gonna get back. The time you'll spend begging for me won't ever bring me back! How could I have so foolishly, so easily have been deceived? ... Beauty. So cruel and deceiving will forever be a mystery to me. you will become nothing more than a bad memory. for every night, my heart died. I'll return the pain a thousand times. And you still walk around with your head held high? wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect. wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect! And you still walk around with your head held high? wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect. wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect! defeated. I found my self at the end of my patience. months slipped away from me. too much life I had wasted. Time spent chasing you is time I'm never gonna get back. The time you'll spend begging for me won't ever bring me back! with all the poisonous bullshit your mouth produced. come near me again. And I'll put that fucking mouth to use! oh no don't act so innocent. Oh please don't act so innocent. you know its what you deserve. for the love of god wake up! there's no need to walk with your head held high. wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect. wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect! there's no need to walk with your head held high. wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect. wake up bitch you're not so god damn perfect! slowly but surely, I will become what was destined of me. I'll become your enemy. slowly but surely, I will become what was destined of me. I'll become your worst fucking enemy. I will be your worst fucking enemy. I will be your worst fucking enemy. I will be your worst fucking enemy. I will be your worst fucking enemy.

wake me from this nightmare inside my head. wake me from this nightmare inside my head. wake me from this nightmare inside my head. wake me from this nightmare inside my head. The mirror doesn't even recognize my own reflection. I'm trapped inside the world that my mind made up. trapped inside the darkness I reside. ... But how can it be real? this insanity. Was this all that life had in store for me? oh please god come on! If you could have seen, what I've seen. Then maybe you could understand me. And if you could feel this pain I feel! It's far too real to comprehend. I tried to regain my purity. But no drug would rebuild my sanity. won't someone set me free from this paranoia? This eternal hell. For the longest time now, I don't know myself anymore. don't know myself any fucking more. I don't know who I am, or what I am. But this pain. It eats at me. It consumes me. (oh yeah) it eats at me. it eats at me. it eats at me. darkness has no end... wake me from this nightmare inside my head. wake me from this nightmare inside my head. wake me from this nightmare inside my head. Or end this life I've come to fucking dread.

As We Break 04:18
you call this life? Then please tell me why does it hurt so fucking much!? And tell me why every night I find myself dying a little more inside? I've lived through pain. All struggle no gain, it's never changed, Struggling to come to terms with reality I seek an escape from this pitiful existence. Oh how I tried to be something more than a failure my life, it seems to never cut me a break. But after all these years of trying to outrun my destiny i think things have become that much clearer. There is but one escape from this hell I'm in, this game I play. One escape! And i know that you'll tell me that some things are worth fighting for. But this just isn't one of those things! believe me I have tried for so long. the world as it seems has broken me. And stripped me to my core! Everything I used to be doesnt exist anymore. you know what it's like to no longer have the fire burning in your eyes? no motivation! no will to carry on. Everything I loved turned grey and moved out of site. It's so cold and in the darkness I am all alone. That's just it, there IS no where I can hide. Isolation, my only true friend, I wont try to survive. And I wont last the night. With these wrists slit i see the light, fading before my eyes. No regrets, no time. the thought never enters my mind. No burdens, no weight. just a few minutes and I'll be able to embrace my fate. Twenty three long years I persisted and fought. Things Came crashing down with just one little push. Thirty seconds of bleeding and I was gone. How ironic.

Heavy Rain 04:31
Conflicted I fight this duality. Feelings of rage they stir and burn from deep within me. My pride it stings yet I must bow to insanity. My mind ensared by something darker than greed. For what was lost is now found it is now clear. The me I kniow was never meant to be here. A shadow was cast and within it I hid. My feelings, my life is a lie i refuse to submit. Return me to my most true and darkest of forms, Ressurrect the reaper from within my soul. Disconnect this vessel from this delusion. Relinquish my heart of all pollution. Extinguish the coals of ambition. Erradicate the need of love and all it's illusuions. Asphyxiate the life from all my obstructions. (Redemption I seek punishment upon those who had mocked me and those who scourned me) An eternity of cruelty and you still question why this beast had to awaken from within me? From within me....From within me...
