Not A Straight Line

I've finally found a place in my mind to stop focusing on what has been done a thousand times
Seeking a refuge in longtime memories would only take what's left of my pride
There's no way I can walk the line while always playing in my head those past delusions
and contradictions that keep pulling my obsessions to the fore
I think I've found the reason why nobody seems to get on with their life once they start looking back
Losing and failing to refrain my thinking would only free what I try to hide
There's no way I can walk the line while always playing in my head those past delusions
and contradictions that keep pulling my obsessions to the fore
That tape is old and broken and it's not worth clinging to it anymore
I can't remember a time that didn't get stained. I cannot picture a moment that's never-ending
Opened my eyes, saw the difference
Nothing never changes
Nothing stays the same

Your empty eyes stare at her smile it's all you can see
Somehow you're not up to par like you wish you could be
To her it seems like the passion's gone
And I can't stand to watch you being fooled like a dog
Lying in a cage of broken trust, yet still impassable
Your world all falls apart
You wonder how everything could've been
If you hadn't buried yourself deep in grief, not feeling weak
This once aware, not unenlightened
Slowly taming karma, relearning to breathe
Your heart's now dyed a different colour (from burnt desire)
You're finally free of her
You never fitted anyways
One was in love with what he wanted the other to feel
You fought too hard to lose it
And now you're stuck with this
Bitter feeling and some severe scratches
That make you think it wasn't even worth a fuck

Lock Your Doors

I strive to find a better way
To understand what's going wrong in your head
'Cause nothing will replace that stolen piece in me
Blind faith in my neighbour
Once vivid, now broken
I Can't seem to let it go
I keep what is mine
And I don't compromise
I wouldn't let you ease that conscience
It's all about blame and forgiveness
An eye for an eye works best for me
How can you sleep knowing clearly how I'd feel
Leaving all what's worst in me to choke on inability
I keep what is mine
And I don't compromise
I won't let you find peace of mind
Spit words to soothe your regrets
Exonerate
Until understated consequences
Bring you down at last
I won't be fooled a second time
Can't leave these thoughts behind

Static Sick
02:49
|

Everything's blending
The image and the sound
Those blurred lines hide all points of reference
I failed to prove myself again that I'm a man
And all I've left is suffering the consequences
Subsiding never felt so odd
Far from the static and the noise
I want to go back home
Those days are gone when I could ignore the signs
I disconnected and I won't stop whining
Too many spider bites and aching swollen nodes
Divided from a signal my mind blanks out
Subsiding never felt so odd
Far from the static and the noise
I want to go back home
What if I lack of male instinct
Pull the cable plug that strains my eyes and fix me
All inspiration's faded, unfulfilled, unfruitful
Subsiding never felt so odd
Far from the static and the noise
I want to go back home

Losing Friends
02:16

Intensity is the key to your well being
Since you've been long lost in the excess
Slowing down would just confirm your demise
But you step all over your convictions
Tore off every page of your inborn rulebook
what will you do if you end up against a wall
Nine years burn fast
We burst like glass
Just like we were meant to divide
I knew you but now you ain't the same
I cannot erase all the hatred you've grown
Simple words won't wash it all away
Rejection is relief
Your reason's trapped in a hopeless day dream
No one 'll free you from inside yourself
Good times all lost
First bent then twisted
How much friendships did you waste
Just because you never wait
One day you're gonna have to slow down
Someday you might have to go on
I'm not trying to throw the blame
Just look at yourself and give you one chance
Wake up before it's too late

Tasteless
01:46

I don't like what goes faster, what's best rated
Most of all I hate being up to date
It sucks you find comfort in material wealth
Constantly running after the latest craze
Trading values like your heart's to sell
But you're paying way too much to be lame
The needs you've created made you all the same,
So quick to stand on your pedestal of gold and virtual fame
Under the influence, intoxicated
You keep seeking validation from your peers
Possessing everything fills your need to belong
As it eats you up inside
Add more friends, buy to death
But you won't forever be fed by the hand
You consume trends until no taste is left
Next thing you know you've reached rock bottom

J'ai hâte d'avoir vingt-trois
Ça a l'air que vingt-et-un c'est trop jeune pour les filles de vingt-cinq
C'est bien dommage, mais au moins j'ai l'air de vingt-trois
Pourtant j't'assez mature. Du moins je pense l'être assez pour une fille de vingt-cinq
Mais au moins j'sais que tout vient à point à ceux qui savent attendre vingt-trois
Pourquoi tu m'as pas donné ton numéro?
Pourquoi j'te l'ai pas demandé?
C'est peut-être parce que j'avais pas vingt-trois

Patience
02:56
|

Expectations, it seems they won't let me rest
Too many hours of sleep yet wasted down the drain
The more I try, I feel I'm running out of time
You'll never know just how much it meant to me
Now I can't wait for anything
Constant tension keeps weighing on my shoulders
That patience I once had has been washed away in vain
The more I try, I fear I'm running out of time
You'll never know just how much it meant to me
Now I can't wait for anything

Anesthetize

You told me your senses were slowly failing
And one by one the rest would follow
Those feeble hands can only justify the hate
Your inherent burden takes a part of me too
I can't break the chains and take away
The pain that shatters your left side
all the needles and cortisone won't make you feel okay
Unless it first started in your brain
Restrain your thoughts
Crossing this point means that you've won
The state of numbness that cripples you
Blackens your heart and breaks it in two
Shading the light you need to get through the day
The loved ones you cherish, your passions and talents
There 're plenty of things out there to believe in
Hold on
When you're down and waiting and desperate for change
Just take it one day at a time
Hold on

Coffee Stain Pattern

A thought of you is all I need
To awake the envy but kill the dream
I've set my bounds years ago
But it's so hard to let it go
I should've known it never lasts
You had your reasons, I had mine
When I start to find my way
You're pouring salt into the wound
I would've loved to say
"Never mind, I never cared"
You're fading from my head
All my fears are overrated
Unceasingly trying to confine me
Walls start spinning out
I can't feel the ground
I never realized how much I had
Until you came to waste my youth
Turn good intentions into stone
And leave me blind in a minefield
Waiting in line to watch me fall
So much pain for nothing
It all slipped out of my sweaty hands
Another cup of coffee drowning every subtlety
All my fears are overrated
Unceasingly trying to confine me
Walls start spinning out
I can't feel the ground
All my fears are overrated
Designing me a fake reality
Walls keep closing in
There's no way out
