Paradise Lost

[LongLife]

World Pretending

WASHED OUT YOUR SIMPLE WORLD,
BUT IT SEEMS TO REAPPEAR,
WITHOUT, YOUR SIMPLE WORDS,
YOU CANNOT INTERFERE.

AND NOW ITS SO ABSURD WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING

AND FOR YOUR "SO CALLED" FRIENDS
THEY ALWAYS SEEMED SO DEAR
BUT WHEN IT ALL GOT WORSE
THEY SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR

AND NOW ITS SO ABSURD WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW.
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW.
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING
YOU'RE SAYING TO ME NOW.
YOUR WORLDS PRETENDING

Mouth (Album Version)

FEEL SO LOW SOME DAYS
AND ONLY I CAN TASTE
RESENT SECURITY
OBSCURING ALL I SEE

IN MY MIND
IN MY MOUTH
IN MY SOUL
ONLY YOU PROVIDE THESE SYMPTOMS THAT I SHOW

I COULD GO OUT IN STYLE
GO BACK FROM WHERE I CAME
BUT LUCK SEES TO US ALL
AND RARELY PLAYS THE GAME

WE'VE SEEN IT ALL THROUGH MANY YEARS OF LONESOME HELL
BACK TO A PLACE WHERE WE ALL TERMINATE

 

[LongLife]

Sway

EXPEL AT COST
I'VE LOOKED FOR VALUATION
RETURN WHAT'S LOST
IVE THRIVED ON AGITATION

I LIVE IN FEAR
FEAR OF MY CONTRADICTION

FREE MY EYES OF FIRE
GREED, MY HEART DESIRES

IM FREE THIS WAY

NO LOVE IS LOST
NO LOVE OF CONDESCENDING
WHO DO I TRUST?
TRUSTING OR JUST PRETENDING
MAYBE ITS WRONG.
MAYBE IM SPECULATING

FREE MY EYES OF FIRE
GREED, MY HEART DESIRED

IM FREE THIS WAY

THE PATH I CROSS
IS STREWN WITH ALTERATIONS
ALL AT A LOSS
BARGAIN INFATUATION
WHY DID I TRY?
CAUSE IT'S SO COMPLICATED

I FREE MY EYES OF FIRE
GREED, MY HEART DESIRED

IM FREE THIS WAY

 

[LongLife]

Gone

ACCEPT THIS BITTER PAIN
ACCEPT THIS BITTER PAIN
THERE'S TOO MANY SEASONS HAVE CHANGED
THERE'S TOO MANY REASONS TO CHANGE

AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE
WHEN ID GONE?
AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO BREAKDOWN
WHEN ID GONE?

YOUR WRATH HAS BEING UNCHAINED
YOUR WRATH HAS BEING UNCHAINED

THERE'S TOO MANY FEELING ESTRANGED
THERE'S TOO MANY LEAVING THE STAGE

AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE
WHEN ID GONE?
AND WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO BREAKDOWN
WHEN ID GONE?

Isolate

i'm sent for elimination
to where i cannot know, but i'm lost without a chance in hell
and i'm lost with doubts i can avoid this come feel the fire burn i'll slowly drift away
a victim of the future my mind and soul decayed

isolate

i'm sent for eradication
by whom i cannot know, but i'm lost without a chance in hell
i'm the last one out i can't avoid this

exposed to fire but i'll burn another way
a victim of the future i embrace the tourniquet

isolate

lead us all to pastures green
to search and learn
from ones i cannot be

lead us all to harmony
to search and learn
the one i cannot be

 

[LongLife]

Erased

i don't owe anything
i don't owe anyone
shoot pride for all its worth
i don't belong

in a situation now
that i could not repair
i assert myself to sleep
show others that i've cared
how cold is this poor life
lay ashes at my grave

if it takes me away from you
a subtle gesture

i don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
i don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)
i don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
i don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)

this is erased i promise not a trace
this is erased i promise no delay not a trace

Two Worlds

the sense required is all too vague
within my faculties, building me
this awesome presence longs to see
the times i've fallen
the times i've failed

and i've never seen my hands
and i couldn't walk away
two worlds are the same tomorrow
still i must not complain

the sense acquired is all too grave
with less than one percent left in me
this awesome prison locked and sealed
for times i've borrowed, for times i've failed

and i've never seen my hands
and i couldn't walk away
two worlds are the same tomorrow
still i must not complain

and i've never seen my hands
and i couldn't walk away
two worlds are the same tomorrow
still i must not complain

and i've never heard a whisper
and i'd never speak of pain
two worlds are the same tomorrow
to all i seem inane

Pray Nightfall

in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head...

i hold on tight for this mortal ride
rest my head 'til the mornings coming down on me
i realise my own sacrifice
better rest my head before somebody's going out...

in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head...

pray nightfall release me
then i could wander, wander to deep sleep

awake despite, another mortal night
rest my head, for the sun is shining down on me
i realise try to synchronize
rest my head or somebody's going down

in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head...

pray nightfall release me
then i could wander, wander to deep sleep

trying to make things work
trying to make things right
trying to make things work
without serendipity in my life.....

Primal

it's deep in the mind
so slick by design
i'll end up the same way maybe

don't hold on to pride
you'll lose if you try
you'll end up the same way someday

lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down

can't feel it inside
how long can it hide
you'll end up the same way maybe

redemption denied
as life passes by
i'll end up the same way someday

lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down

gets deeper inside
so strong the divide
i'll end up the same way maybe
don't loose an insight
abuse till you die
we'll all end the same way someday

lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down

Perfect Mask

i live behind the perfect mask
erase the rule forever

i live behind the perfect mask
unleash the truth forever

i live behind the perfect mask
too late gonna live at last

i live behind the perfect mask
too late gonna live at last

i live behind the perfect mask
erase the truth forever

i live behind the perfect mask
only the true endevour

help me....i dare say theres no other way
help me....i dare say theres no other way to go

wanton fallacy again
merciless until the end
recognise my heart is there
so reveal me and disgrace me
