In Flames

"Resin"

"Resin"


A sad song it was,
Through renewal it brought
And a month seems sometimes shorter
Than a half nights longing

Hidden and hard are the reasons for war
Polar twist, invert and flea

I can't dissolve this feeling of mine
But patience will unlock the door
And the maps of reasons re-written for me
When the wait is over and the punishment is due
Each day I crawl to the hall of the giants

And I beg for mercy -
And I beg for mercy in vain
One night is a mare - two is worse
How can I manage three?

"Ropes"

"Ropes"


How much can we take before we care to settle?
Thought we were set for a perfect scene
Everyone is waiting for a failure
Something I can't please and justify
The void within my eyes
Everyone is waiting for something they cannot have

Why don't you drop your guard
I'm on my knees
You got the mindset of a killer
And it will not take you far
If I had the answer would that make you stay?
This is the time and place it is your moment of fate

If this would be your last breath
Would it change a thing?
Dive head first into the fire

If you just let me I'll find a way
To ease your mind and for you to stay
And I will untie your only ropes
It's hard for me but believe me, I'm trying

What are you longing for?
What are you longing for?
What are you longing for?

If I had the answer
Would that make you stay
This is the time and place
You are waiting for something you cannot have

If this would be your last breath
Would it change a thing?
Dive head first into the fire

If you just let me I'll find a way
To ease your mind and for you to stay
And I will untie your only ropes
It's hard for me

If you just let me I'll find a way
To ease your mind and for you to stay
And I will untie your only ropes
It's hard for me, believe me, I'm trying

"Rusted Nail"

"Rusted Nail"


You want someone to blame
The one who drives the rusted nail
But who's left will never care
Pretending becomes a chore
All you search for, a little piece of mind
Too far, too deep, the two faced smile
So lost, you feel, I know

Wide awake but still asleep
Always a stranger in a crowd
Wide awake
Always a stranger in a crowd

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will, I'm there
Until the end of time

Leave the doomed behind
Search with different light
You were trying to remember
But it's all make believe

You are, you are, you are
(Wide awake but still asleep)
Wide awake but still asleep
Always a stranger in a crowd

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will, I'm there
Until the end of time

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want
I'm there
Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will, I'm there
Until the end of time

"Satellites And Astronauts"

"Satellites And Astronauts"


Since the day of my departure
I've been stumbling through reality
I play my symphony in reverse
As I aim for that special path
Be gentle to the tear in this eye
Lonesome arms, lost its wings again
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
You see, I can see the end from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead
Make me feel like a man
A silent cry from the middle of hell
I - the irony - I promise, I'll be mature
So please, please invite me
Please invite me to your shelter again
Been hiding since I heard "never"
Take me back to yesterday, I need to grow
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
You see, I can see the end from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
You see, I can see the end from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead
Steal my mask and make me pay
I need a new skin
I'm going insane

"Save Me"

"Save Me"


So save me
Here's a hammer
Build a ladder
It's a long way up to heaven
If I dig it might take as long
But maybe in hell that's where I belong
Seven days and seven nights
Funny he found the fires
And I have walked this path before
I'm afraid I'd lose it all
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
I've been trying so hard
But I can't see that far
So save me
Just let it rain
I rather stay away
From laughs' overcoming
And the company of crows
Memories, they fade
But I'm far too awake
Welcome to my dream
I'm afraid I'd lose it all
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
I've been trying so hard
But I can't see that far
So save me
So save me
So save me
(Save me...)
Just let it rain
I rather stay away
From laughs' overcoming
And the company of crows
Memories, they fade
But I'm far too awake
Welcome to my charade
I'm afraid I'd lose it all
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
I've been trying so hard
But I can't see that far
So save me
Save me
Save me
I've been trying so hard
But I can't see that far
So save me
Save me...
Save me...
Save me...
Save me...

"Scorn"

"Scorn"


I perish and nobody will know
As my mouth remains still
My heart awaits me, filled with gravel
As the pain grows with each touch
Since I marked her out from my tower
Reality focused through forbidden lenses
She owns enough of preciousness
A penalty given by the source
But I still have no choice through
The hinderens frighten
A labyrinth closing at the edge of space
But they never allow
She's shut... for all beings but one
I give, I scorn, I threat

"Scream"

"Scream"


We are ordinary people,
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We're just living in different lies
We just live in different lies! [x2]
They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens
Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you?
They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens
Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you?
We are ordinary people,
In a world build on stress
When we build walls around us
We end up in a mess

"Siren Charms"

"Siren Charms"


How far until the edge?
These wrong ways are mine
But the whole world can just go to hell
This life is killing me
My feelings inside I can't explain
I'm awake, but not for long

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds

I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

I gave you the story of my life
Some of my precious time
But I'm tired of this
With every promise of eternal light
Another feeling dies

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds

I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds

I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God
(Reach out touch the hand of God)

I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

"Sleepless Again"

"Sleepless Again"


Hopeless times approach
Just give into the chaos
Strangely I find comfort here
Impatient and curious of what may come
...And so the rampage begins
Against the headache I can't win
[Chorus:]
Drain Me
Keep me in the dark
I don't want to take part
Prefer to be forever numb
Nothing great can come out of this
But I'm hostage to myself
I fear I might collapse on the razor's edge
And I fear I'll realize when it's too late
...And so the rampage begins
Against the headache I can't win
[Chorus]
Sleepless again
I need to ease my mind
And kill what burns inside
Sleepless again
I can't win
[Chorus]

"Sober And Irrelevant"

"Sober And Irrelevant"


Used to be original,
But now I tremble in fear
I am like everyone else
And that buries me
Is this how it feels
To reach rock bottom
Want to know how it feels to be forgotten?
[Chorus:]
I've become the distance,
I am the sober and irrelevant,
I don't feel part in this,
What is there to believe?
I'm not asking for much, just a moment
A chance to pick up the pieces
Happiness, please, come home
What if it ends right here
How do I change it?
Hoping to find a saviour
I've lost my way
[Chorus]
Is this how it feels
To reach rock bottom
Want to know how it feels to be forgotten?
Hoping to find a saviour
I've lost my way
[Chorus]
