1. End
2. My Room
Welcome here, I'm your guide Through this life that once was mine Walk with me now understand What you see here is nothing and all
Look around and see my paintings Be sure to take your time In my room, my life
You've stepped inside so now come and learn That in this room, what you learn is what you earn There are no answers offered except: Yourself Remember this and the path you seek will be found
The sweet scent of silence all over And all the sounds to see This room is you and I It's all we were and will be Just look at the paintings and see
Spare your mind the silence From which you'll lose more than you'll gain Paint yourself with the sounds you lack, Mix past with today and soon you will know
Know how you'll change Starting all over again in a special way A certain confusion as the secrets unfold Forget all you learned and were told Then you'll change
Come, walk with me now and understand What you see here is nothing and all Walk with me now, understand What you see here is nothing and all
Look around and see my paintings Be sure to take your time In my room With
The sweet scent of silence all over And all the sounds to see This room is you and I Open your eyes and feel the change
3. His Cold Touch
[I. Within these walls]
Alone... afraid... In the dark of the corner he will try to hide his shame... Where it shows to no one Nothing wrong in being scared, it will all fall into place According to his dad "But son, you just can't tell anyone..." And there, deep in the night He gets to kiss the floor once again And though he fears his father's eyes That is nothing compared to The cold touch of his hands... Of his hands... His cold touch...
"Wipe those silly tears from your eyes That show when you look at me Can't you see that I love you? I always have and I always will" You can never turn away from The hand that rocked your cradle I've been there through all you have seen You would be nothing without me" And there, deep in the night He gets to kiss the floor once again And though he fears his father's eyes That is nothing compared to The cold touch of his hands... Of his hands... His cold touch... His cold touch...
[II. A silent outside]
You and your staring eyes... How come you don't welcome me anymore? I'm still the one you embraced... but now you're disgraced? A silent outside I once called my home...
Blinded by the shame he turns against the world outside He just can't seem to understand that they are all just helping hands
While the world was still asleep, he had to pay on his hands and knees And when the sun came to chase the night away He would just lie there in pain and pray
He's lost in the void within He's walking in a circle of nothing All alone against a silent inside
You and your judging eyes... How come I have changed while still being the same? The child you embraced... today a disgrace? A silent outside I once called my friends...
Blinded by the shame he turns against the world outside He just can't seem to understand that they are all just helping hands He walks away now, all alone to find his way He knows the answers he seeks will not come easily...
A lonely child, against the world outside He will walk on the path of the abused... With a smile... to hide...

5. Leaving Yesterday
The truth in your eyes promised me A life far away from yesterday In you I see the future... In our special place we will build our own dream
You're the moon in my deep blue sky Through the darkest of nights Your light spreads across my land On my fields we'll stand hand in hand
Oh, so we are both night and day We'll watch the winter snow unite with the summer rain During times of our yesterday we will find a way to look ahead Through the darkness, our past darkness, we will stand hand in hand And we'll be there together as one...
Come with me and leave the rain behind, I will carry you Sheltered by our love we'll leave yesterday
Time won't exist as we're heading for an eternity Flying through the unknown skies painted in the beauty of you and I...
Breathing a pleasant silence tonight The sound of your breath carries the light You're what I was put here for And finally I know just how to smile
You're the moon in my deep blue sky Through the darkest of nights Your light spreads across my land On my fields we'll stand hand in hand Our love will be our lifelong map And our road will lead us to eternity...
Come with me and leave the rain behind, I will carry you Sheltered by our love we'll leave yesterday
6. Towards Loss
Inside out, upside down... Reality is killing me It's all a blur and it's moving fast Doing 95, still I end up last No time to stop or even slow down Expectations are far too high My machinery got to keep spinning around ('Round and around)
Won't you listen to me once, only once There is no way for me to be everywhere I know you're sad but I hope you're waiting Time is not a friend these days so please understand!
(Inside out, upside down Reality is killing me It's all a blur and it's moving fast Doing 95, still I end up last) No time to stop or even slow down Expectations are far too high My machinery got to keep spinning around ('Round and around)
As I race through my life, I am crying For I know what I'm losing Helpless I look away
Running from his past life, still trying to forget it But now today has come here to slow him while he's running The challenge of remembering the things that are important It seems to be the ending of something he was winning A young boy meets the grown world, a grown man meets the memories A fact that leads to losing the one thing that's important His loved one waits a long time but that can't be forever And when the dance is over he finds himself so lonely and weak
(My life's truth must be unseen as I race through the now at full speed)
As I raced through my life, I was crying I knew what I was losing Helpless I looked away Now my life's cold and barren again I'm the child from my past life Helpless I release the memories
7. The Storm Inside
I've opened up my scars, I've released my past life I've surrendered to a rain that speaks of a coming storm Looking back, did I ever know how to look at life and how to appreciate it? Guess I was lost in a time of taking things for granted and not looking around I was lost in myself, oh, so lost in myself
So today I'm left on my own, my recent days have all been the same My sanity will soon be consumed by this loneliness I'm lying in bed, going out of my head I'm lying in bed, going out of my head I'm lying in bed, going out of my head I'm lying in bed, going out of my head
Standing at the door to a place of my own I will not ask of you, what you asked of me I'll hide away from all the reaching hands So that my past will remain untold I don't need your helping hands I'm sure I will find my way back
Like a raging storm, my past keeps coming on Like a thousand daggers, my memories pierce me My body and soul unite in pain It all keeps increasing, all up until it is suddenly gone
The storm may be gone but it's not for long, it speaks to me I'm granted just a short embrace of rest and peace
I've lost the race against my past It's come for me laughing, to make me pay at last Still all those years speak to me I'll never open up and bare my shame to you
I've opened up the door to a place of my own I did not ask of you, what you asked of me I'll hide away from all the reaching hands So that my past will remain untold All through the years I've been walking alone Except for the love that brought light in my life I'll spare her this me and leave on my own With the door closed behind me...
Was it all a mistake? Should I have listened to you? All of those helping hands I kind of miss them now Now that they're gone
8. Coma
Machines that make me breathe, I just can't stand their terrible scream I'm stumbling through smoke-filled rooms With only darkness ahead, I wish I was dead Drowned in a distance, I'm so safe and sound Damn well protected from all those around Seeking the life that was taken from me Still all I see is a man on his knees
Although I'm asleep, can you feel I'm here? Lost in this place, screaming for you
Back on my feet when a distant light Brings me some hope and a strength that had died A doorway that speaks of the world I once left A final way out and a final way back Then a sudden change makes the light start to fade I need to run but I stumble instead The light disappears as I lay on the ground My last hope of freedom is turned into none...
Will I ever speak again, love again? Will I ever leave my mind? I am trapped inside myself, far from the outside Why won't they let me die? I'm tired as I lay here bleeding on the ground
Breathe
(We're the machines, the only friends around Stay for a while and let us keep you alive)
Breathe
Here I am, I'm lost in this place Wish I could just say goodbye But you're not around to hear my cries...
Will I ever speak again, love again? Will I ever leave my mind? I am trapped inside myself, far from the outside Why won't they just let me die?
Die
9. Release
10. Post Life
My life is born in pain Pain weaves fragile threads into dreams, Skies that are annihilated by The infinity of the galaxy
Infinity, man's unsolved riddle in eternity But the fairytale of our life That became reality Will never be destroyed
Our hands tied together For a harsh life When we met on a cold winter's night Where only stars witnessed our happiness
Lay three red roses on my grave They are for you once you follow me Then I will wait by the gate Which I was denied in my youth The roses are three words I love you
