Danger de Mort
03:02
|

This one's for those who blame
This guilt and fateful shame
That life could be as fucked
The living man couldn't reach his luck
They're laughing but instead I cry
For those who're living in denial
I caught their nightmare with my eyes
"Antidepressants can often save teens from this fate but in some cases they can increase their risk of suicide.."
They're laughing but instead I cry
For those who're living out of time
I won't be cleaning their dirt
I'm sorry that the truth hurts
I caught their nightmare with my eyes
Suicidal

The Dry River

So they say that less is more
One more feeling to explore
One more reason to get by
Another river that runs dry
The painful taste of bitterness
Is running through my empty chest
This fire won't wake me at all
These cold days spring from yesterday to next fall
(You) give me something to see but I could never wear
(You) show me something to keep but you will never share
(You) help another to stand and say that life will take
Everything that you love. It's just one big mistake

You've Lost Yourself
03:34
|

I never looked at you
To shield me from the truth
But then I had conditional regrets
You're up and down again
We're enemies and friends
Now let me dig a hole
So big it fits it all
May you rest in your never ending mess
Rip out this living heart of me
To stop another dying breed
And all your fake identities
You've lost yourself
The worst is yet to come
I can't make this undone
I never made the promise to betray
But I could never lie
And say I'm satisfied
Could give you my backbone
To face this life alone
Are you brave or responsive as your grave?
Rip out this living heart of me
To stop another dying breed
And all your fake identities
You've lost yourself
For those who look for love
And comfort from above
I've played this game again
I've finally reached the end
Saying no was the easiest way to go

"Tribute to Milly Boele"
(Backing vocals by Yorick van Norden)
Self-assurement seems so rare
Confrontation with despair
What to do but to rely on the truth?
Yet she's
Gone, what to do?
It's been so long since she moved
Ain't so hard to believe
He can't let her be seen
Prepare to be strong
This night will be long
What they say might be true
Could be me, could be you
Must he confess
Perhaps care less, we
Can't seem to get what we need
Won't accept the sins we see
Just the thought of her away releases shame
She's
Gone, what to do?
It's been so long since she moved
Ain't so hard to believe
He can't let her be seen
Prepare to be cold
Time to hide your own fault
What they say might be true
Could be me, could be you
Must he confess
They'll take their rest and time
They'll hope, they'll
Pray that one day she'll be found
May not even be around
At the moment they'll deny
She may be alive

Stars and Heaven
04:21

She's got me starin at stars and heaven
So shiny yet so far
A thing of beauty at such a distance
I wonder where you are
And from the start of this war
I'd hold you back once more
From shamefull joy to restless lust
It's all been done if it's for us
To choose who's here to find
She's got me thinkin of expectations
Whatever it may be
I made my point now through my frustrations
The stars is all I see
Above the clouds it shimmers on
My questions while she's gone
Won't go beneath the bottom line
I'll take my rest and time
I'll hope, I'll pray
And I will wait till the necessary day
