The Ego Disaster

You pretend being unique, someone irreplaceable.
You grant your presence as a gift and everyone should be grateful.
You and yourself, and you again, and nothing else to bother.
Because it’s just too hard for you to talk about anything else.
Insipid and useless,
You’re nothing but a fool.
Stop behaving like
The whole world's turning thanks to you!
Never admit you might be wrong.
Breathing by the gaze of everyone.
Abusing you and everyone,
Self-overrated ignorant,
Breathing by the gaze of everyone!
You’re feeling uncomfortable when no one's watching you.
Always searching for a good reason to turn the spot on you.
You're just a parody,
Hollow playing hero.
Stop behaving like
The whole world should turn around you!
Never admit you might be wrong.
Breathing by the gaze of everyone.
Abusing you and everyone,
Self-overrated ignorant,
Breathing by the gaze of everyone!

I made a mistake.
I thought that we're walking on the same path.
I thought that we agreed
On the things that have to be!
You say that you did your best
But still you couldn't take it.
Tell me what will you do
To make it right once and for all?
This is the last time you're playing that game
Because you did it too many times!
This is the last time you're fooling me with this!
This pale imitation of guilt!
I told you so many times
But nothing seems to change.
Everything is an excuse
To keep it that way without a strain.
You say that you understand.
You say that you feel ashamed.
Tell me what will you do
To make it never happen again?
This is the last time you're playing that game
Because you did it too many times!
This is the last time you're fooling me with this!
This pale imitation of guilt!
Don't wanna hear you anymore!
Don't wanna hear your excuses again!
This is the last time you're fooling me with this!
This pale imitation of guilt!

Insipid and Shallow
04:51
|

Giving is good... as long as you're getting.
Sweating is cheap... as long as it's not yours that's flowing.
Putting everyone under pressure
But it's always harder when it comes to your turn!
Insipid and shallow! You deserve to fall!
Always searching for a way to hide that you're valueless!
It turns me devoid of will,
And I'll never stop drowning as long as you'll be there…
As long as you'll be there!
It has to be written and done,
Because I'll never feel fine as long as you'll be there…
As long as you'll be there!
Preaching is good ... but did you ever practice?
Spreading your lessons ... but did you ever learn anything?
Seizing everyone else's success.
Surrounded by weak, it's easier for you to dominate!
You say you're the one!
But you're just no one!
It turns me devoid of will,
And I'll never stop drowning as long as you'll be there…
As long as you'll be there!
It has to be written and done,
Because I'll never feel fine as long as you'll be there…
As long as you'll be there!
Seeing yourself as a leader,
Are you even able to follow?
Did you really think you're never wrong?
So pathetic, swelled and arrogant!
I took you for someone; you just made me feel so low!
Self-crowned king, all you did was just to prey on me!
Insipid and shallow, I already forgot you!
This is your end here and now, 'cause you just deserve to fall! Fall!!!

Betrayed Again
04:53
|

Come closer and burn with me,
Do you wanna feel the fire under your feet?
This hell you threw me in.
Take a look at what you did!
My faith is dead inside.
I have lost the taste of things.
Tell me what’s left for me,
As you’re gone after you broke my will!
As lights of glory fade, only regrets remain.
Haunted by my own dreams, my confidence decays.
Worn out wasting myself at building something that always falls down.
Can someone just give me one good reason to carry on?
Never kill myself again at building something you love to crush down.
I tried so hard, but I can’t stop my hope turning into shame!
It’s not only about the pain I feel.
It’s mostly the way you stabbed me.
Memories of what was cloud my head.
Take a look at what you did!
I gave you time! I gave you soul! I just gave you a chance!
I gave you everything! I gave you the best of me!
Just one more deception.
Just one too many to stand.
I never claimed it was built to last a lifetime.
But I can’t stop thinking of what we left undone.
Worn out wasting myself at building something that always falls down.
Can someone just give me one good reason to carry on?
Never kill myself again at building something you love to crush down.
I tried so hard, but I can’t stop my hope turning into shame!
Come burn with me
I’m betrayed again
The poison of rancour is running through my veins.
Too late to cure me, I am bound to yesterday.
Worn out wasting myself at building something that always falls down.
Can someone just give me one good reason to carry on?
Never kill myself again at building something you love to crush down.
I tried so hard, but I can’t stop my hope turning into shame!

As I built my words from the plain truth,
Confusion seized everyone.
Their ego pleased with courtesy.
Unable to take it all.
Lying or alienation?
There was no safe solution.
Hypocrisy versus loneliness,
I chose my side and I started suffering.
Beyond this line I crossed
There's no way to U-turn.
When everyone turns away,
Too late to redefine path,
Too many words were said.
The code of silence is broken.
Giving empty smiles back to them?
Does it make me feel better?
I sacrificed everything
But anger still remains!
Everyone's gone.
Unforgivable words of truth.
Honesty is my mistake,
Loneliness is my punishment.
So here I am!
Integrity built me a prison!
Got nothing left!
Got nothing right!
I am surrounded by rats,
Hear them crawling behind me.
Their loquacious emptiness
Feeding murderous rumours.
Vicious creatures
Plotting for my decline
And blacklisting me for life.
The conspiracy has begun.
Fake honesty and fake innocence.
Refusing to question themselves.
Broken pride is feeding grudge.
Gathering of fake victims!
Ambition makes them obsessed!
Whispers make them feel stronger!
Everyone's gone.
Unforgivable words of truth.
Honesty is my mistake,
Loneliness is my punishment.
So here I am!
Integrity built me a prison!
Got nothing left!
Got nothing right!

A Bitter End
07:09

Now all the bridges are broken,
Reasons already forgotten,
Our glorious memories turned into ruins.
It leaves me empty without faith.
It leaves me with this aftertaste.
I can't believe that it could be the end.
Should I leave things that I used to struggle for?
Are they supposed to stay undone?
Cause all that I need is something that I can catch and hold,
Something that I can call my own
To make me carry on.
The dust is slowly falling down.
It looks like there's no one around.
It took me so much time to realize.
Now everything is dead and gone.
And I stand here without a word.
This deafening silence is all I own.
There's no more hope there's no more faith.
It leaves me with this aftertaste.
I can't accept that it could be the end.
I can't leave things that I used to struggle for!
Are they supposed to stay undone?
Cause all that I need is something that I can catch and hold.
Something that I can call my own.
I smell the taste of failure.
It's poisoning me inside.
It's filling my mouth and my heart.
Consuming all that I am.
Only suffering remains.
Turning my eyes from blue to grey.
Seeking for a remedy!
I won't leave things that I used to struggle for!
They're not supposed to stay undone!
Cause all that I need is something that I can catch and hold,
Something that I can call my own.
I'll keep those things that I used to struggle for!
I'll never let them stay undone!
And all that I need is something that I can catch and hold!
Something that I can call my own,
So I will carry on…

A Brave New World
04:51

Far away from the storm!
Far away from the doubts!
I've found the strength to overcome,
And leave all my weaknesses behind!
Frustrated again but never discouraged.
The game is only over if I give it up.
The more I try, the less I lose my faith.
At least one more reason left to believe.
I never thought I was too weak to bring it … further!
I never thought my dreams were out of reach!
If it means that I’ll be alone,
There is no worry for me.
Because it becomes crystal clear
About the things that have to be.
A new dawn full of promises,
As I cast away these fears.
Let me live in this brave new world!
I embrace this brave new world!
Far away from the storm…
Far away from the doubts…
I've found the strength to overcome…
And leave all my weaknesses behind!
From where I am now I see
All these hands held towards me.
And everything is all clear!
It's not the end of anything!
Not frustrated or discouraged anymore!
Who has left me doesn't matter anymore.
The more I try, the less I lose my faith!
Don't believe that I’ll be alone,
There is no worry for me.
And it becomes crystal clear
About the things that have to be.
A new dawn full of promises!
It's not the end of anything!
Let me build this brave new world!
I embrace this brave new world!

The After-Vultures
04:39

Broken and deprived of myself,
I was the ugly, the cause of all evils.
I've let the others tell me what I was worth.
I've let the others decide for me.
Released from these circles of self-destruction.
I need a blank page to start all over.
Thankful! Peaceful!
Farewell to those who fed upon me!
Take off your mask …
Show me the evil that dwells in you!
Sick of slanderous, sick of green-eyed.
They tried to make me believe that I owe them all.
I paved my way for so long before, so
How come they feel they're so necessary to me?
Don't want to live in the hell they created.
They played this drama to bend my beliefs!
They think they left me and they think that I'm lost.
I know I'm alright and they're already forgotten!
Enter the after vultures.
Farewell to those who fed upon me.
Those who left me did not understand me!
Those who left me did not deserve to stay!
Take off your mask …
Show me the evil that dwells in you!
It's all about …
The lies you were sinking me into!
As I stand here after their leaving…
A promise made to myself!
I'm living the way I wanted.
I'm living in the moment,
In a world where I can trust everyone.
I'll keep the untrue away from me!
I'll never let them prey on me again!
A promise made to myself...
Farewell to those who fed upon me!!!
Take off your mask …
Show me the evil that dwells in you!
It's all about …
The lies you were sinking me into

Like a Poison

Your scorn is dragging you down.
Your scorn is killing you.
Each drop of bile you spit
Just makes you die a little bit more.
Loneliness and apathy,
Mysterious hateful words,
A vengeance you stab on every back
But it's hurting nobody else but you!
This is an insidious disease,
An existence made of regrets.
A void that fills only with greed
And rancor turns into obsession.
Blinded by your rage
Enslaved by your own emptiness
This feeling's like a poison!
Save yourself from this hell
Or you will suffer endlessly!
This feeling's like a poison! It's like a poison!
Is it the way you wanna live?
Let me help you to find the cure
‘Cause you're … ‘cause you're …
Blinded by your rage
Enslaved by your own emptiness
This feeling's like a poison!
Save yourself from this hell
Or you will suffer endlessly!
This feeling's like a poison! It's like a poison!
Paranoia is your good old friend,
Makes you feel self-centered.
A word that anyone said is not always
A word said about you!
Fueled by successes of others.
Endless and useless rivalries.
Leave this life of grudge
Before you end despised and forsaken!
This is the last chance to save you from this curse,
And feel peaceful at last.
Let me pave the way of your liberation
Like I found my own before.
Save you from this curse…
Save you from this curse!
The only path to live in peace
Is to live far away from hate.
A fall is not always a failure,
So carry on and learn from your mistakes.
Blinded by your rage
Enslaved by your own emptiness
This feeling's like a poison!
Save yourself from this hell
Or you will suffer endlessly!
This feeling's like a poison! It's like a poison!

Reawake

Times of doubts are far behind
Now it's strong and safe like never before.
Unable to retrieve the past
But mourning it is a waste of time.
No matter what is left or gone,
No matter what is said … or left to be done.
Back to where things are coming from,
Rediscover this taste of freedom.
It's like a strife among the ghosts of the past.
They haunted me but I chased them away.
Unfailing insight … (… restores my confidence!)
Feel like purified (I got my salvation)
Unfailing insight (I got my redemption)
Reawake … reawake … reawake … reawake …
Failure! It's never been an end!
Pressure! That won't stop me again!
Get rid of lack of ambition
And everything that chokes the will!
No matter the way, no matter the purpose!
Regenerated and improved!
It's not done for wrong reasons!
It's not a matter of broken pride!
It's the only way to feel alive!
And I refuse to seek another one!
I am breathing a new life free from all burdens.
Blessing my actions 'cause they all made it up.
They know I don't need any advice!
They know the decision is mine!
Forced to relearn and redefine path.
Feet on the ground, one step at a time.
With a constant desire to progress!
I live a way that I will always be proud of!
I was asleep with my purpose out of sight.
Now it’s all clear and something's burning in my mind.
They're calling me and I hear them into the night.
The rising voices of my forgotten desires.
Unfailing insight … (… restores my confidence!)
Feel like purified (I got my salvation)
Unfailing insight (I got my redemption)
Reawake … reawake … reawake … reawake …

One by one, I get rid of all my demons.
‘Cause I am done being afraid,
Being frustrated, being depressed.
I am done wasting my time at being so low.
A new sight upon this bitter doubtful place.
Nothing will be able to hurt me anymore.
Treasure what matters and laugh at the rest.
Life belongs to those who still resist.
Watch in me, tell me what you see?
Just another soul searching for relief.
Clarity, that’s what it has to be.
So free as I tear this pain out of me.
Give everything a chance,
And everything’s gonna be all right.
Watch in me, tell me what you see?
Just another soul searching for relief.
All my words, my choices and there consequences,
All the faith and the strength that I put into.
Make me rise again. Can I try again?
‘Cause those things that I feared are not so hard to take.
Watch in me, tell me what you see?
Just another soul searching for relief.
Clarity, that’s what it has to be.
So free as I tear this pain out of me.
Make everything the right way,
And everything’s gonna be all right.
Watch in me, tell me what you see?
Just another soul searching for relief.
… Give everything a chance …
… Make everything the right way …
… Make me rise again! Again!
Watch in me, tell me what you see?
Just another soul searching for relief.
Clarity, that’s what it has to be.
So free as I tear this pain out of me.
Put everything its right place,
And everything’s gonna be all right.
Watch in me, tell me what you see?
Just another soul searching for relief.

Devoid of Compromise
05:24
|

As the horizon becomes clear,
Far away from all disease,
Another way of being,
Something new created from scratch.
Where no word is repressed,
Where truth is not a danger anymore,
Where conflicts are over
And nothing will make them reappear!
Peaceful and light!
This is a life without hindering,
A conscious dream under control
Whereas I don't need it anymore.
Devoid of compromise!
The regrets I despise!
Every second of this existence
Is highly significant!
No time to waste with hateful ones.
Shall they live away from me!
I will not blame anyone anymore
'Cause rage is never far from weakness.
Behaviours redefined,
So let the great stream bring us all!
Devoid of compromise!
No doubts left in my eyes!
I've caught the sun,
Now it's burning and shining in my hands!
I've broken these chains,
And I'll never be their slave anymore!
I've left the guilt,
I'm a million miles away from this now!
Living for myself,
Devoid of compromise!
An endless energy
Pushes us to live unreserved.
Born in osmosis, grown in serenity,
Something that can't be restrained!
Every mind is open now
Like all these doors across the path!
Contagious effervescence!
Moving forward's never being so easy!
I've caught the sun,
Now it's burning and shining in my hands!
I've broken these chains,
And I'll never be their slave anymore!
I've left the guilt,
I'm a million miles away from this now!
Living for myself,
Devoid of compromise!
