Autopsy 03:12
lyrics
buy track
I’m locked inside a room I’m here from dawn ‘till dusk The walls are squeezing in Forgotten and confused Already I am losing trust I’m waiting for the light Each day I’m on repeat Same problem every day No one to catch my fall No one to hear me speak Conformity disguised with a tinted vale (Don’t ever talk to me) Autopsy performed with a rusty nail (Like I’m your only friend) I walk the streets at night My plans have gone to dust Can’t sleep insomnia Is taking over Treading leaves that turn to rust Been going on too long I don’t know which way to turn This rule I’ve lost the faith A journey from all hope When will they ever learn? Conformity disguised with a tinted vale (Don’t ever talk to me) Autopsy performed with a rusty nail (I’m criminal and hopeless) I’m locked inside a room I’m waiting for the light Conformity disguised with a tinted vale (Don’t ever talk to me) Autopsy performed with a rusty nail (Like I’m a child) I’m locked inside a room I’m here from dawn ‘till dusk The walls are squeezing in

Birth Machine Baby 04:24

We take the tops off mountains And dig the bottom of the sea We fly a rocket to the moon Now we’re on our knees Will you tell me what the future holds? For the next generation When all of them are yearning To reach for the sun Facing the day when there’s nothing left It’s easy just to close your eyes One hundred years from now none of us will be around We’re singing ‘welcome to the nation’ Birth machine baby coming at you maybe Save all your dying for me It’s a global admission Where millions will die The world’s population Continues to thrive We all ignore it As it takes our land The Earth’s worst enemy Was always man Facing the day when there’s nothing left It’s easy just to close your eyes One hundred years from now none of us will be around We’re singing ‘welcome to the nation’ Birth machine baby coming at you maybe Save all your dying for me For me yeah Birth machine baby yeah Facing the day when there’s nothing left It’s easy just to close your eyes One hundred years from now none of us will be around We’re singing ‘welcome to the nation’ Birth machine baby coming at you maybe Save all your dying for me For me yeah

I close my eyes and the world drops dead when they open I’m born again I like the darkness and the peace that holds the constant dread Your shadow wraps me tight and holds me once again Like an old familiar friend to guide me through the rain If not for you then where would I be Unwanted Guest inside my mind Unwanted feelings from other times Things I can’t share with you Coz speaking aloud would make me do them again Unwanted Guest inside my mind I’m flesh and bone but they don’t see me How I’d like to cry My light is shining bright To see the dark you must see light Your shadow wraps me tight and holds me once again Like an old familiar friend to guide me through the rain If not for you then where would I be Unwanted Guest inside my mind Unwanted feelings from other times Things I can’t share with you Coz speaking aloud would make me do them again Unwanted Guest inside my mind Each way I turn another wall Each way i turn Each way I turn another wall Each way I turn Another wall for me to hit Your shadow wraps me tight and holds me once again Like an old familiar friend to guide me through the rain If not for you then where would I be Unwanted Guest inside my mind Unwanted feelings from other times Things I can’t share with you Coz speaking aloud would make me do them again Unwanted Guest inside my mind

Grave Metallum 04:45
lyrics

Rock music isn’t dead But it’s hanging by a very thin thread A pantheon of rock’n’roll legends now those legends are fading away Streams of music - Stairway deniers - loyalty is no order of the day The circus tent arrives without warning Leaving grieving worshippers mourning, oh yeah I feel at home with those departed from the stage The circus will embrace us all and it’s here that we will stay Grave metallum Grave metallum There is no one left to play Where is this year’s Wish You Were Here? Dying breeds that all disappear Engraved upon our hearts our heroes soon will all be gone Bleeding for those yesterdays with music that lives on and on and on Grave metallum Grave metallum There is no one left to play Grave metallum Grave metallum They have all but gone away Roll up roll up for the show that never ends Step inside step inside bring your family and friends There’s Hendrix, Mercury, Presley just to name With Weiland, Staley, Cornell and Cobain We’re no longer told what we should listen too With millions of channels to find our way through There’ll be a tsunami of bodies to come Who will replace them when they are all gone? Roll up roll up for the greatest show on earth It’s showtime all the time they sing for all they’re worth All of your heroes are all here inside One thing I must tell you all of them have died Come see the freakshow and don’t be afraid For yours and their safety they’ve all been restrained This is a graveyard an infinite cage Made for the legends that once ruled the stage

Future Not Fear 03:38
lyrics

You spread your lies and burnt the truth They didn’t ask they had no proof A story planned the web was spun You had your time you haven’t won Drowning in the dark The game has just begun The weak ones split like broken thread Off media now can’t read my head No longer care no will to fight I’m in the shade so near the light I was drowning in the dark But now I know I’m right Written across the sky Something that you deny will appear A symbol of hope a rainbow of light Making dark disappear The rain is drumming at your door The shame and rumours are no more All the ones that you’ve deceive Repeat your lies ‘till they’re believed I was drowning in the dark Cause to be perceived Written across the sky Something that you deny will appear A symbol of hope a rainbow of light Making dark disappear Written across the sky Something that you deny will appear A symbol of hope a rainbow of light Making dark disappear Written across the sky Something that you deny will appear A symbol of hope a rainbow of light A future not fear A future not fear A future not fear

Blood on the Saw 03:25
lyrics

I can’t get out of bed I’m in my world Press the reset button in my head Don’t wanna work but I’m in the red If I could live on air I’d do that instead Let’s rearrange the pieces Dark patterns in the maze In shades that make it brighter It’s shared we dared to dream Than to sweat it out Blood on the saw Blood on the saw Before you regret it Blood on the saw Your body can’t do what your brain can’t give it In my thoughts with the right injection I tell myself that it’s wrong To think of it as anything but fiction The hidden traps I move among Let’s rearrange the pieces Dark patterns in the maze In shades that make it brighter It’s shared we dared to dream Than to sweat it out Blood on the saw Blood on the saw Before you regret it Blood on the saw Your body can’t do what your brain can’t give it A change of pace a change of state A change of sails blowing me into the unknown Blood on the saw Blood on the saw Before you regret it Blood on the saw Your body can’t do what your brain can’t give it Blood on the saw Blood on the saw Take the road or forget it Blood on the saw Your body can’t do what your brain can’t give it

Load Shift 03:13
lyrics
buy track
When a man’s communication enters a woman’s information Not to raise a younger generation just to reach a common destination I got my cargo loaded so full of deed I hope I got the balance right I don’t want to spill my seed (Do you get the message?) Load shift it’s a matter of logistics When you’re down on the scene Load shift from one place to another If you know what I mean Ignition won’t start your going nowhere till you take control Don’t brake too hard at the wrong time that’s when your load could take a fall I got my cargo loaded so full of deed I hope I got the balance right I don’t want to spill my seed (Did you get the message?) Load shift it’s a matter of logistics When you’re down on the scene Load shift from one place to another If you know what I mean We all enter the world in the same way Born to die when we exit the freeway You light the fire in my headlight Let’s keep it burning every day and every night Take the road check the weight distribution then you know you’re right Then activate the heavier suspension to enjoy the ride I got my cargo loaded so full of deed I hope I got the balance right I don’t want to spill my seed (Did you get the message?) Load shift it’s a matter of logistics When you’re down on the scene Load shift from one place to another If you know what I mean If you know what I mean Load shift it’s a matter of logistics When you’re down on the scene Load shift from one place to another If you know what I mean

Waterfall 03:53
lyrics

Many warning signs Dead leaves vegetation on the rock The river calls your name The waters cold a dark vertical drop Down the waterfall One last breath to call Down the waterfall Into the darkness I lost her from my grip I never thought it would end like this I tried but I couldn’t save her My memories drown into abyss Down the waterfall One last breath to call Down the waterfall We could have had it all Down the waterfall I tried to break the fall Down the waterfall Torn to pieces A basin black and small A lofty waterfall A basin black and small A lofty waterfall Drowning in your sorrows let them slip away Darling drown your sorrows let them slip away Down the waterfall One last breath to call Down the waterfall We could have had it all Down the waterfall I tried to break the fall Down the waterfall Torn to pieces I can see it in your eyes that you wanted it all Can I give you everything you’ll ever need I can see it in your eyes that you wanted it all Can I give you everything you’ll ever need

Only One Chance 03:52
lyrics

It’s very important to get rid of that illusion of duality Find out who is real you Give me one chance so that I can explain why I do these things Trust me again My life is blank without your name let’s stop here I’ll take the blame Out of my seat and I’m out of the door with no explanation I’m gone before they can formulate or evaluate a question In this short life that only seems to last an hour How much how much how little is really within our power? There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, tell me no Run through the streets as I pull out my phone hey baby I’m gonna be gone All my life I’ve been trying to blend in but I’m more invisible Like Daniel Westin Some of us leave a lasting legacy on a brick wall I grab a can and write I am here in fifty foot scrawl In this short life that only seems to last an hour How much how much how little is really within our power? There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, tell me no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, only an hour There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, oh no There’s only one chance but I’ve only got an hour to go, tell me no Tell me no

Takin' All the Money 02:51

So many fall to the urge of greed Desiring more than they’ll ever need We squander health in search of wealth we beg and save We all want wealth instead of health Only to find a grave Make it break it fake it Takin’ all the money Want it need it grab it Takin’ all the money On to the next one needing more Money’s no use when you’re dead on the floor We grew we looked and craved The more we saw we had to have Then we all became enslaved Until the time it made us mad Make it break it fake it Takin’ all the money Want it need it grab it Takin’ all the money Money can’t buy you everything but money does what it does Money can’t buy divinity but money does what it does Money can’t buy you everything but money does what it does Money can’t buy the things it does but money does what it does Make it break it fake it Takin’ all the money Want it need it grab it Takin’ all the money Use it lose it choose it Takin’ all the money Feel it steel it take it Takin’ all the money

Brain Shadow 04:23

We’re going back in time to 1981 No one even cares anymore but it left him a loaded gun All this time has passed him by and it never goes away It’s a mental scar for life and it’s with him to this day Please tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only Just tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only What a waste of energy when the end is all the same Please tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only My head’s playing hard to get I’m just a shadow on a brain, yeah If I could turn the clock I’d turn it back and start again, yeah Through the years and decades on he climbed the highest hill Fighting through the craving not to take another pill Sometimes it’s triggered by an unexpected butterfly He wished he’d learned to fly or fight until the kill Please tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only Just tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only What a waste of energy when the end is all the same Please tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only My head’s playing hard to get I’m just a shadow on a brain, yeah If I could turn the clock I’d turn it back and start again Unwanted hands they find me Nothing can stop them Touch me break me Hidden in our lives are stories better left untold In time they always find the dark part of your soul I hope someday to beat the voices in my head I was that boy at school who wished that he was dead Please tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only Just tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only What a waste of energy when the end is all the same Please tell me to acknowledge some hells are one size only My head’s playing hard to get I’m just a shadow on a brain, yeah If I could turn the clock I’d turn it back and start again Unwanted hands they find me

Every Part of Me 03:56

What is this feeling I can’t seem to shake I’m not dreaming but I don’t feel awake Reality is pouring like rain I see everything behind a glass pane Everyone you have ever known Everything I was ever shown Is inside of me If everything I see is an illusion am I living in a dream? Every part of me takes the form of nothing I’ve ever known Every part of me comes alive at the time but they’re not my own I’m the only stranger in this land A thousand journeys by my own hand I see a window and I’m looking outside I see my life playing through my own eyes A sense of unreality In times of high anxiety But also randomly A nauseating feeling the reflection in the mirror wasn’t me Every part of me takes the form of nothing I’ve ever known Every part of me comes alive at the time but I’m all alone Every part of me feels like I can reach into another world Every part of me I’m holding on I’m holding on When I was a kid I used to wonder just maybe if the world existed only for me If rooms ceased to exist and people disappeared once they left me The rest of their lives were imagined solely for my entertainment A sense of unreality In times of high anxiety But also randomly Derealisation disassociation brings me to my knees Every part of me takes the form of nothing I’ve ever known Every part of me comes alive at the time but I’m all alone Every part of me feels like I can reach into another world Every part of me I’m holding on I’m holding on And now it’s gone
