My Schizophrenia

MY SCHIZOPHRENIA
yeah, I'll make you lose your reason
yeah, I'll haunt you day and night
you are programmed to receive me
your little world is mine
it sucks me in at night
a victim of my mind
twisting my mind from dusk till dawn
no way of breakin' free
impending caving-in
it's killing me - the war is on
don't give in to all those lies
I'm goin' down in madness
I'm losing control
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
you screamin' mental sadist
you eat my heart and soul
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
slowly I'm tightenin' my noose
soon you'll be down and out
yeah, you're the toy in my hands
yeah, you're gonna lose your ground
all your injected lies
keep me paralyzed
it's poison in my open sores
your noose is wearin' thin
now see me marchin' in
you won't kill me - the war is on
now fuck off, I'm on my own again
I'm goin' down in madness
I'm losing control
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
you screamin' mental sadist
you eat my heart and soul
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
set me free
just set me free
set me free
just set me free
I'm goin' down in madness
I'm losing control
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
you screamin' mental sadist
you eat my heart and soul
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
I'm goin' down in madness
I'm losing control
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia
you screamin' mental sadist
you eat my heart and soul
I persist, I resist - not my schizophrenia

CHASING BURNS
welcome and good evening
these are the 5 o'clock skylight news
the following tales of alien encounters are true
and by true I mean false
they're all lies - but they're entertaining lies
and in the end, isn't that the real truth?
the answer is: no
strange crafts light horizons
crop fields showin' shapes down on the ground
phoenix creates believers
of something that is just supposed to be
the 47 lies
who tells them who is right?
the presidents deny
blurred shapes in the pictures
the fantasy's elixir
source of apocalypse concerns
conspiracy or chasing Burns
hunters on a mission
authority decisions
made to fade reality
who knows the truth? - neither you nor me
footprints in the pictures
tell me, has the moon ever been touched?
shapes of unknown creatures
we yearn for evidence to tell the truth
with 69 in mind
who knows what's wrong or right?
conspiracy denied
blurred shapes in the pictures
the fantasy's elixir
source of apocalypse concerns
conspiracy or chasing Burns
hunters on a mission
authority decisions
made to fade reality
who knows the truth? - neither you nor me
(solo)

PRETTY SHITTY
I got my own ways to waste my time
my dudes have news, let's see what's up online
showin' you my prudence, you'll be well aware
it's pretty shitty out there
believin' my own fantasies - my fate's deterrin' me
I'm not to blame for it, you know, life's a bitch
and Romeo missed out the fact that Julia wasn't dead
so stand in line, you'll be slapped in time
hands of time rushing - same story again
and known dead-ends
give me some time to build my monument
of nothingness
whoa - hesitation, but I'm on my way
whoa - pay attention, excuse my delay
whoa - my important insignificance
whoa - but it all has got nothin' to do with me
(solo)
I've been thrust into shit and the shit hit the fan
yeah, its smell's still lingerin', don't you understand?
it leaves my stomach in a bile
say, how could Romeo know that Julia didn't die?
way too many voices mute themselves
so I take my bridge to another dead-end
it's pretty shitty, so shitty out there
and Romeo missed out that Julia wasn't dead
hands of time rushing - same story again
and known dead-ends
give me some time to build my monument
of nothingness

Sirens

SIRENS
floating on the sea
called by the sounds in your head
set the course for a dream
breaking through the mist
see the island ahead
meet the bosom's land
the sirens' song's so sweet
calls you home to a foreign land
the voices' tentacles drag you there
feel the raisin' damp
oh won't you come here and stay for a while
pass the lady garden's doors
hear the birds' sounds so alluring tonight
it's a leech not to slough off
hands in the noose
strings pulled tight - no escape
ships running ashore
instant bliss
abulic mind - what a fool
flames that won't die down
savor every taste
nothing's held back - no needs inside
aridness is gone - raisin' damp
a fatal delight
oh won't you come here and stay for a while
pass the lady garden's doors
hear the birds' sounds so alluring tonight
it's a leech not to slough off
make me a pig or kill me
I am yieldin' to your potion's charm
read my needs - I've found my fortunes
damsels dancing at the shore
the sirens' song's so sweet
calls you home to a foreign land
the voices' tentacles drag you there
feel the raisin' damp
oh won't you come here and stay for a while
pass the lady garden's doors
hear the birds' sounds so alluring tonight
it's a leech not to slough off

If I Told You

IF I TOLD YOU
can you hear me callin'?
a shout out into the void
it's filled with mere illusion
I told you all my lies
my dreams
displayed in all my lines
if I told you I'm not me
and I'm not what you can see
would you still be here with me?
in the end, what is left?
I can feel you fallin'
but your smile
is frozen in the lights
you told me all your lies
your dreams
displayed in all your lines
if you told me you're not you
and you never told the truth
would I still be here with you?
in the end, what is left?
(solo)
if I told you I'm not me
and I'm not what you can see
would you still be here with me?
in the end, what is left?
if you told me you're not you
and you never told the truth
would I still be here with you?
in the end, what is left?

Night Of Longer Knives

NIGHT OF LONGER KNIVES
strange shapes - the phantom's shadows before us
our tales - exaggerated to new heights
deceived - we fool ourselves with stupid lies
they say you'll feel the shiver down your spine
identity's not yet been gleaned, but sciophobic fears confirmed
the night of longer knives has come
it feels so real - now put yourself in arms
our fear's the hand that pulls our strings so we
march on into the fight that's long forlorn
we give in to stupefaction of our brains
and prepare - the bandoleers are filled with lies
identity's not yet been gleaned, but sciophobic fears confirmed
the night of longer knives has come
it feels so real - now put yourself in arms
what do we find when we look inside?
dark sides that we try to hide
we're deceived along the way
sent to war against something that is not there
so forlorn - like a dream
just illusions from within
(solo)
in the end the creatures that we called are near
their embrace comes from inside - it's just our fear
and the world sees too much pain that we will fear
so farewell - till a new break of dawn my dear
lights fail to light the dark side of our minds, our sciophobia
the night of longer knives has come
it feels so real - now put yourself in arms

A RADIO SONG
radio girl, how come you push that button?
radio girl, who makes you push that button?
I don't want you to push that button
how come you push that button?
who makes you push that button?
I don't want you to push that button again...
radio boy, how come you push that button?
radio boy, who makes you push that button?
I don't want you to push that button
how come you push that button?

I don't want you to push that button again...

THIS CITY
driving the road to what I've always called home
finding a city in the dark
it takes a rest from all its daily grind
in the distance you can hear a black dog bark
in the basement's burnin' light
someone's screamin' out his soul tonight
in the basement's burnin' light
someone's screamin' out his soul tonight
can you feel it? - this heart beatin' underground
feel the earth begin to quake
it's taken over by the rhythm of its sound
it is on tonight - yeah, this city's so alive
in the basement's burnin' light
someone's screamin' out his soul tonight
in the basement's burnin' light
someone's screamin' out his soul tonight
in the basement's burnin' light
someone's screamin' out his soul tonight
(solo)
can you feel it? - this heart beatin' underground
feel the earth begin to quake
it's taken over by the rhythm of its sound
it is on tonight - yeah, this city's so alive
it makes me feel alright tonight

LIBERATION
the game is on
the chessmen move - now push the balance to your side
roll the dice
we chose our place - is it hell or livin' free?
lift yourself up - your world is goin' down
silence of thoughts - now listen to its sound
the past is gone
don't be the fly stuck in the spider's web
invisible
don't delude yourself that you are all alone
lift yourself up - your world is goin' down
silence of thoughts - now listen to its sound
(solo)
lift yourself up - your world is goin' down
silence of thoughts - now listen to its sound
your world is goin' down, lift yourself up - now's the time
listen to the sound of silence in your mind
your world is goin' down, lift yourself up - now's the time
listen to the sound of silence in your mind
your world is goin' down, lift yourself up - now's the time
listen to the sound of silence in your mind
your world is goin' down, lift yourself up - now's the time

RAGING FIRE
raging fire - it's desolation that we leave behind
mean desires in an arrogant state of the mind
raging fire - it's desolation that we leave behind
mean desires in an arrogant state of the mind
while mothers tell tales of the fathers that never returned
the sons cross the line - yeah, revenge is what they seek to earn
god's made profane and sanity seems to be slain
the fire burns on and the blood's washed away by the rain
martyrs called heroes - not supposed to think twice
are promised rewards for their lives
confessions abused - no peace within ourselves
pull the trigger - now we're raisin' hell
raging fire - it's desolation that we leave behind
mean desires in an arrogant state of the mind
your honor doesn't save you, nor justifying stake you
tell me, what's it in for us? - tell me what's good for...
leaders call for loyalty and turn it to insanity
to get what they are longing for
when is it enough for you?
(solo)
your honor doesn't save you, nor justifying stake you

when is it enough for you?
when is it enough for you?
