Blodsoffer
05:23

|

Jag har bara kunnat stå maktlös sidan om
Sakerna du gör krossar hjärtat att se
Men jag vet att ditt sinne finner frid
Endast när kroppen blöder
Psykiskt lidande som bara kan begravas
Under fysisk smärta
Plågor starka nog att slå ut självbevarelsedriften
Dina demoner kräver blodsoffer
(BLOOD SACRIFICE)
I could only stand powerless by your side
The things you do are heartbreaking to see
Though I know that your mind finds peace
Only when the body bleeds
Mental torment that can only be buried
Beneath physical agony
Pains strong enough to negate self-preservation
Your demons require blood sacrifice

Schism
06:00
|
|
||
Burning blurred vision
Humiliated - feeling worthless again
Like something less human
A broken thing not meant for here
A schism in self-image
So far from how I see myself
A merciless light shone inside
My bastion where I could pretend
I like myself
Waste of time
Waste of resources
Waste of life
Feeling guilty for existing
Sometimes I can look into a mirror and find no justification at all for what I see

A Prison of Flesh
05:32
|
|
||
Such pointless idiocy - this cruel genetic lottery
Wills no better or worse forced inside failing slabs of meat
How can you say we're created by a loving God?
I was made faulty by blind hands!
This broken little body serves me not - it lets me down and causes me pain
Yet many are cursed far worse than I, jailed for life guilty of no crime

Lotus Eaters
06:35
|
|
||
Leave behind reality for the shores where the lotus grows
Set sail, even knowing I might never return
Hurt and neglect myself, and everyone who once loved me
Please forget me - the one I was is already dead
It's so easy for some to judge
In their ivory towers they have nothing to run from
No horrors for cursed ambrosia to wash away
Imagine what could drive someone to choose
Not having a choice again!
Pills and needles
Rocks and crystals
Dust and spirits
Ease our pain
Yet cause even more
Please take me away, to another place
I don't even care if it destroys me
A moment of peace - or an eternity
Either is fine by me
Pills and needles
Rocks and crystals
Dust and spirits
Kill my pain
Or at least kill me!
Desperation
Addiction
Feedback loop
Ouroboros
Pills and needles
Rocks and crystals
Dust and spirits
Kill our brains

Fiendens ansikte
05:41
|
|
||
Ditt frånstötande yttre döljer en än vidrigare själ
Jag vet alla dina hemligheter
Varje vidrig last som förstört mitt liv
Du är ingen människa - du är ohyra, du är smuts
Jag vill göra dig illa, jag vill ta ditt liv
Står inte ut med tanken att du är jag
Vill inte att du är jag
Fiendens ansikte stirrar tillbaka i spegeln
Jag är besatt av en demon - och den demonen är jag
(lead: Autofobi)
Fiendens ansikte stirrar tillbaka i spegeln
Jag är besatt av en demon - och den demonen är jag!
(THE FACE OF THE ENEMY)
Your repulsive surface hides an even viler soul
I know all your secrets
Every disgusting vice that has ruined my life
You are not human - you are vermin, you are filth
I want to hurt you, I want to take your life
Can't stand the thought that you are me
Don't want you to be me
The face of the enemy stares back in the mirror
I'm possessed by a demon - and that demon is me
(lead: Autophobia)
The face of the enemy stares back in the mirror
I'm possessed by a demon - and that demon is me!

Of Lost Hopes Past
06:00
|
|
||
The heart is an idiot
Fooled once more
Still reaching for that prize
Even as it's taken away again
And again
Such hopeful hubris
Foolish plans to win it all
All these big dreams
Slipping through my fingers
I've failed again
"You and I against the world"
Still naïve after all!
Those perfect moments in the warm dark
Now gone for good
Feel cold again
Still hopelorn

I Will Be Here Again
03:34
|
|
||
A dog returns to its vomit, and so do I
Mindless repetition, I disappoint myself
I will be here again
The guilt and self-loathing are overwhelming
Yet the craving is stronger still
Fiending for bittersweet corruption
So horrible, yet I need it again
I will be here again
Yet I wish I would not
I will be here again
And I wish I were dead
