Posessed Obsession

(Guitar INTRO)

An immortal passion
Flames my desire
The blindness from the starlight
The vengeance from the envy

The link is disconnected
The escape is derailed
Without the innocence
The cross is just a grave

I hope I shall free myself now
This obsession possesses me now
To strangers I endlessly bow
I’m not sure of the choice I’ve made

Wash away my fins, please
Rinse away these sins
There are things that I’ve said
Not the things that I’ve meant

Dry away my outer shell
Renew my inner self
Save my dimming conscience
From slipping far away

Thunder roars above me
Soft chords cheer for me below
Forgive me for not being myself
Burn the crimson carpet of shame

Leaving my ground
Away from my sight
I drop down along
These charts of my fight

Give me your hands
Show me your smile
I don’t mind descendence
So I
Kill my passion’s face

(Guitar EXTRO)

Nowhere to go

(Guitar INTRO)

Here I am
Walking across these busy streets
The beeps remind me to meet my deadlines
Overlapping meetings to juggle with
A phone call asks for an appointment with me
As I enter the doorway, a new world is in front of me
Greetings and orders flood towards me
Hope this world could move in slow-mo

Stars for my bucks
Hits my head like the day’s first cigarette

This is me, this is my life
It goes on, over and over a round
Makes me feel like a rat on a wheel
With nowhere else to go

(Instrumentals + SFX – Noise)

Here I am
Thousand miles away on some busy street
Insomnia becomes a part of my life
That had seen the world
But had not seen my life been whirled
I work until I break
And I don’t stop for my sake
Hope this world could move in slow-mo

Eager for some lager that
Soothes my head like a sweet lullaby

This is me, this is my life
It goes on, over and over a round
Makes me feel like a rat on a wheel
With nowhere else to go

This is me, this is my life
It goes on, over and over a round
This is me, this is my life
It goes on, over and over a round
Over and over
Over and over
A round

Pardon my Innocence (Interlude)

(SFX – Ethereal music + unclear tones)
(Piano THROUGHOUT w/o drums)

Pardon my innocence
I wanted to feel
How falling would feel
And, would my wounds heal

I did not feel anything
Wounds didn’t heal
I saw myself there
Lying
Dying

Dance of Life

(Instrumental INTRO)

Noisy silence
I hear you
Sweet Incision
I feel you
Give me all that you have
Cause more is good for me

(Keyboard Bridge)

Straight lines are wavy now
Going on a “businessman’s trip” now
Confidence that fuels my arrogance
I’m embracing my fate now

(Guitar Bridge)

It’s what I say
That strangles my neck
With the chord in my hand
Pulling it more
Away from myself

(Instrumental Bridge)

I take the path
You tell me to take
I fake the truth
To make you to take

Me inside this maze
Tell me again
What did you say?
What did you say to me?

Don’t push me around!
Cause the world has done!
Now, you show me!
How to live in fear!
I’ve forgotten!
And, I will forget!
What I just told you!
But, I’ll remember you!

Probe into the wounds of my soul!
Dig deep through these wounds of my soul!

It’s what I say
That strangles my neck
With the chord in my hand
Pulling it more
Away from myself

(Instrumental Bridge)
(Guitar solo)
(Guitar + Keyboard duo)
(Bass Bridge)
(Strings solo)

Try to save my life!
By killing me!
From the inside now!
Nothing works for me!
Except the hurt!
In this never ending trip!
This Dance of Life has held me strong!
It refuses to give up!

Probe into the wounds of my soul!
Dig deep through these wounds of my soul!

(Guitar Bridge)

It’s what I say
That strangles my neck
With the chord in my hand
Pulling it more
Away from myself

It’s what I say
That strangles my neck
With the chord in my hand
Pulling it more
Away from myself

(Instrumental EXTRO)

(Alternate title - Away from Myself)

Lose my mind

(SFX – Banging the door INTRO)
(Fading SFX + Instrumental begin)

Fuzzy dreams fill my eyes
I’m falling down alone to lose my mind
Time for me to say “Bubye”
I’m falling down alone to lose my mind
There’s more than what meets the eye
I’m falling down alone to lose my mind

(Strings + Keyboard Bridge)

The life I’ve lived
So many dreams unfulfilled
Please forgive me and do not blame me
I just cannot live with this shame anymore

I take the pill to kill
The pain I’ve carried for long enough
To add a twist
I bear these scars on my left wrist

(Instrumental BRIDGE)

The painful screams in my ear
I fear the beauty I find within the beast
I feel cold when I am on fire
I’m tied up, but I’m out of control
It feels like someone’s digging out my soul

I kill my dying dreams (X3 - BACKING VOCALS)

(Keyboard + Bass solo)

I bear these scars on my wrist to kill
The pain I’ve carried for long enough
To add a twist
I slip and fall down
To cut the rope of connection
As I kill my dying dreams

(Instrumental Bridge)

Fuzzy dreams fill my eyes
I’m falling down alone to lose my mind
Time for me to say “Bubye”
I’m falling down alone to lose my mind
There’s more than what meets the eye
I’m freely falling down now

(MUSIC STOPS)

I’m freely falling down to lose my mind (EXTRO)

Blame me

(Strings INTRO)

The shiny sun blasts down upon my face, the crescent kills my dream
Travelling long and drifting far away, away from where I’ve been
Taking you to another world, a world that no one’s seen
Pleasing them who laugh at my face, I’m prone to disgrace

(Strings + Guitar solo)

All the words and lines that we speak, favours your desire
I give away all that I have, there’s nothing more to loose

(Strings + Guitar + Horns Bridge)

Oh, Oh, blame me, I’ll do the same
I will do it again
I’ll keep doing the same

(Strings + Guitar + Horns Bridge)

Say, I love you
And, deny your name
There is no one to save me
But me from myself (X2; entire section)

Save me from myself (HIGH-PITCH)

(Strings Bridge)

The storm leaves no trace like my dreams without a face
You’re found alone with your doubts, sick in sweet pain
I will not return again and nor shall you, an untimely phase
So, enjoy the moment of fame, this moment of shame

(Strings + Guitar solo)

Oh Lord, look at them who seek pleasure in pain
When did I stop living my existence? Ooh, lost on this path to nowhere

Path to somewhere

(Guitar bridge)

Oh, blame me, blame me and only me, nobody else
I cannot, I will not stop going this way, yeah

(Strings solo)

Oh, just blame me, and only me, nobody else
No one else to be blamed but me, blame me
Blame me and only me, nobody else

There is no one to save me
But me from myself

Get Away

(Bass Solo + Keyboard w/o drums)

Clouds fly by with the winds in the sky
Another day goes by and I wonder if
Anything has changed as
Dark turns to light, light turns to dark

(Guitars begin)

All the staring and sparing I get
Is doing me no good, (hmm)
He asks me about my feelings
“How was your day?”
He knows but he still digs deep

He scribbles for a price, for the
Numb expressions of this depression
“A minor concussion”, he says
All will be well, huh, "it’s hard for you
to feel these feelings"

(Drums begin)

I want to

Get away,
Got to get away from here
Get away,
Got to fade, vanish from here

I take some of it to block
Some to recall
I know as I’m
Cutting myself with a two-faced razor
I know as I’m

Close to the time
Now, that I’m awake
Thanks doc, but your words were fake
Fingers I ‘d pointed
Point back at me

I’ve covered the past to
Uncover the future, but the
Headless pics of yours that I see
Makes it hard to bury, so
I think about ways to

Get away,
Got to get away from here
Get away,
Got to get away from here

(Guitar solo)
(Drums stop)
(Guitar + Bass + Piano)
(Piano stops)
(Drums begin)

Got to get out of here
Get away from here

What do you want now?

(Instrumentals – 45 seconds)

Get out of here
Go away from here

(Softer Instrumentals)
(Bass solo)
(All instruments stop except Bass EXTRO)

Got to escape, fade, vanish (SPOKEN)
Die (WHISPER)
