Loathe!
You know I've been right here before
On my knees begging at your door
Your eyes - On me
So full of misery
Still keep me coming back for moreHelp me - Understand
Help me!Caught in the crossfire once again
I can't remember where or when
I felt - The shame
You've cast on me the blame
In every single way you canHelp me - Understand
Help me!I'm bent and broken 'cause of you
Can't find the words to see this through
Your words are cutting through my soul
All my self-loathing born anewFeels like I'm floating in thin air
I'm at the point where I don't care
I know no matter where I go
The shame of you is always there -
Man in the mirror
Just one look in the mirror
Reflecting all that could be
My own face full of contempt
Staring back at me, Back at meI used to have my ambition
Now I'm wondering why
A big fat lie in a suit and tie
Is replacing me, Replacing meDeep down I know the future holds my destiny
And I'm walking the thin line between fantasy and what is realJust take my hand and lead me through, I'll keep you safe
You must leave it all behindThe man in the mirror
What's true in the long run
What's right and what's wrong
History shows that nobody knows
If you really see, you're truly freeJust one look in the mirror
Reflecting all that could be
A big fat lie in a suit and tie
Staring back at me, back at meDeep down I know the future holds my destiny
And I'm walking the thin line between fantasy and what is realJust take my hand and lead me through, I'll keep you safe
You must leave it all behindThe man in the mirror
Just one look in the mirror
Reflecting all that could beDeep down I know the future holds my destiny
And I'm walking the thin line between fantasy and what is realJust take my hand and lead me through, I'll keep you safe
You must leave it all behindThe man in the mirror

Bittersweet
Lift me up and let me go
Fade away and let it show
In the brilliant summerhaze
By your beauty and your graceEndless waters flowing sweet
Fresh new start, but so complete
Lift me up and let me down
Left unturned I turn aroundJust a distant memory
Another you another me
Fill the emptiness insideNever ending joy for life
A head so crowded I could cry
From the bottom of my soul
Try to give, and give my allJust a distant memory
Another you another me
Fill the emptiness insideOh how bittersweet the taste
Of your sweat upon my skin
By your endless, endless grace
I shy away, you pull me inUnexpected, yet so sweet
Sweep me senseless of my feet
As I stare into your soul
Endless, dark and empty holeJust a distant memory
Another you another me
Fill the emptiness inside -
Poetry in pain
Stranded on an empty shore
Washed up, wasted as my mind
You gave me all, but I want more
Tangled in my foolish prideAnd you mend my broken soul
Only you...
And you make me feel whole
YouLeft alone in my own shame
Crawling emptiness inside
Feel the poetry in pain
Nothing left for me to hideAnd you mend my broken mind
Only you...
What I've lost I know you'll find
YouYou make me feel alive
You mend my broken pride
You help me make it through
Only you...All the pain I felt before
All the agony inside
All there was, is there no more
Peace reflected in your eyeAnd you mend my broken heart
Only you...
The thought of you when we're apart
You -
Another twisted dream
I stare into your eyes
A window to your broken soulThrough perfect shades of gray
Your colors still shine through
So blinding to beholdA broken memory - Another twisted dream
I'll give you all I can
I can't carry you through
So empty and afraidAnd with your every word
Your memories unfold
You're trapped inside your mindDeep in your eyes I see - The pain is real
A broken memory - Another twisted dreamI stare into your eyes
A window to your broken soulI know the pain you feel
This pain is yours and yours aloneA broken memory - Another twisted dream
Through perfect shades of gray...

Cracks a smile
Waiting, waiting for you
Watching your every move
See you as you stagger on
Knowing, soon we'll be oneFeel your body getting weak
As your mind is soaring high
You inject me in your veins
Death cracks a smileFeeling the warmth in your vein
Calming, negating all pain
Inviting you to join in
Running a race you can't winFeel your body getting weak
As your mind is soaring high
You inject me in your veins
Death cracks a smileSee me, I feel you go numb
Muted, deaf, blind and dumb
Reality dawns for a while
You're watching as death cracks a smileFeel your body getting weak
As your mind is soaring high
You inject me in your veins
I'll drive you insane
Feel your mind getting weak
As your body's soaring high
Feel the noose around your neck
Death cracks a smile -
Gift of faith
You fall and I catch you
That's how it has been
Unknowing I let you
Suffer for my sinsA given promise meant to break
Another soul caught in your web
What's left is clearly yours to take
A gift of faith is all I getAs the fog grows thicker
As you fade away
I'm standing beside you
Leading you astrayA given promise meant to break
Another soul caught in your web
What's left is clearly yours to take
A gift of faith is all I get -
Truth awaking
A creature of habit - Predictable soul - So simple and true
Asking for nothing - But giving her all - To carry you throughYou know the hands of time
They've treated her ungently
You can see it in her faceSo soft and so gentle - Her hands used to be - Her velvet like touch
So open and giving - Forthcoming and free - Her eyes full of trustAll the colors of the sky
Turning black in her mind's eye
Her dreams slowly fade to grayShe lifts her gaze up to the sky, suddenly she sees
All that ever was before, what will ever be
All those prayers left unheard, write her destiny
Fight the demons in her head, suddenly she's freeA creature of habit - Predictable soul - So simple and true
So used to obeying - Used to being told - What to think and doA life not worth living - She's locked in her chains - Provided by faith
The words of the holy - By ignorance bent - And twisted by greedOpen up your eyes
Feel the truth awaking
Feel it building up insideShe lifts her gaze up to the sky, suddenly she sees
All that ever was before, what will ever be
All those prayers left unheard, write her destiny
Fight the demons in her head, suddenly she's free -
Pull my trigger
Feel the fear inside you swell with every scream
Press the barrel of my gun against your skin
Take my aim and slowly press against your head
Feel my hatred for you slowly running redI feel you shivering inside
I see fear in your eyes
I smell the panic on your skin
I pull my triggerBroken, feeling of humanity in me
Left with a twisted little dream of being free
Knowing nothing's ever gonna bring you back
Close my eyes my mind is riddled with regretI feel you shivering inside
I see fear in your eyes
I smell the panic on your skin
I pull my triggerFeel I can't go on with all this pain inside
Dreams of the dead and lifeless blackness of your eyesI feel the shivering inside
I see death in your eyes
I smell the panic on my skin
I pull my trigger -
A million little pieces
A million little pieces lying on the floor
A broken soul inside, that just won't fit no moreStuck between our destiny and what is real
A million little reasons to break away from you
A million little problems, a million little truthsStuck between our destiny and what is real
A lost and lonely mind, reflected in your eyeI've asked for your forgiveness and given mine to you
A million little pieces are burning through and throughStuck between our destiny and what is real
A lost and lonely mind, reflected in your eye
