I own you

(Guitar INTRO)

(Strings + Bass BEGIN)

I walked in

Looked at him

And, his questioning eyes

A glass with rocks

And, some scotch

And, his undressing mind

All I have is feelings

That wrap me to safety

When I am held down

My ways are shown

Only my shadows

Break through the trap

A trap I am into

A cult I am into

Your hands, I need to break free

(Drums BEGIN)

(Guitar SOLO)

Hey!

Do your thing

And, walk away

Don’t treat me with kindness

‘Cause I, I am bittersweet

Flesh and bone

Cut and dry

I now own you!

(Instrumental BREAK)

(INSTRUMENTAL CRESCENDO OVER VOCALS BELOW)

Make your noise

Take a breath

There’s still time

But, there’s no return

Choose your turn

Choose your side

When the time has come

Don’t step back, but forwards

Breathe in to breathe out

Unwrap those feelings

Only to myself

‘Cause when I look into the mirror

I need to see myself in it

You can buy me and take me away

But, you will never own me

(Guitar SOLO)

(Guitar + Strings DUAL)

Hey!

Do your thing

And, walk away

Don’t treat me with kindness

‘Cause I, I am bittersweet

Flesh and bone

Cut and dry

I now own you!

You are mine!

I own you!

I now own you!

(Instruments STOP)

(Guitar FADE OUT)

Decision

(Rhythm Guitar INTRO)

You’ve arrived at the time and place

You always did what you were afraid to do

Now, watch your fears take over you

Watch those fears become your God

It was your decision

(All instruments BEGIN)

You chose to stay when all would run

You chose to run when everyone stayed

It was your decision

You eased the flames that burnt inside

You said you’ll fake it until you make it happen

Selfish beings we are, we think of ourselves

But, then is it wrong to think of ourselves?

Sometimes an afterthought

Can stop us from being bought

It is your decision

Don’t let him stand before you

And say it’s over

Nothing is over

Until you think it’s over

(Drum FILL)

(Guitar SOLO)

Selfish beings we are, we think of ourselves

But, then is it wrong to think of ourselves?

Sometimes an afterthought

Can stop us from being bought

It was your decision

It is your decision

It will be your decision

It always is your decision

Everything is Known

(Guitar INTRO)

(Bass BEGINS)

(Drum BEGINS)

Hush

(Drum FILL)

Pills

For a new beginning

Needles

To start the countdown

To hell

Have you lived you life before you died?

A path of no return

You and I

We’re on

(Instrumental break)

Hush

(Instruments BEGIN)

Pain

Gushing through my veins

Calmness

Falling through my fingers

Still something left inside

It’s got to be dark to see the stars

A path of no return

You and I

We’re gone

Everything is known!

(SCALE CHANGE)

(+TEMPO)

(GROWL)

Hush!

(PRIMARY TEMPO and SCALE GAINED)

(Guitar SOLO)

See,

All wounds are bleeding

Feel,

All wounds are healing

The truth is worth saying

The truth is worth saving

(Drum FILL)

A path of no return

You and I

We’re done

The new beginning to start living

Through your fingers I trust the feeling

But, my conscience crackles

With the cracks in your words

(DUAL VOCALS)

Everything is known

Oh my beautiful!

Everything

Is

Known

Now

Distorted

(Bass BEGINS)

(Keyboard BEGINS)

(Drum BEGINS)

(Drum FILL)

(Guitar BEGINS)

(Bass SOLO)

(LOW-PITCH)

Caught among these thoughts

Frozen feelings under my skin

Befriending sweet agony

Passing out with a sweet release

(HIGH-PITCH)

Blackened back of my soul

Why are you looking right and left?

I am right behind

(Drum FILL)

(SPOKEN)

I am just behind

(SING)

And, when I focused

I noticed

The sound of madness

That made me ask for more!

Give me more!

The fuse inside my head is blown!

Give me more!

The venom I drink, paralyzes me!

The sickness in me, overrules me!

The bite I take, pinches my inside!

The scars I tear, bleeds my skin!

The holes I drill, pains within!

(Drum FILL)

My madness asks for more!

Give me more!

(Drum BREAK)

(SPOKEN)

Just give me more!

(Instrumental section – 1 minute)

Tapping his fingers on the wood

Pursing his lips on...

(Instrumental BREAK)

(SPOKEN)

Well!

(Instruments START)

Building a fortress without a wall

You seep inside me like a drug

(GROWL alternates with CLEAN VOCALS)

Shredding my dignity!

Peeling me off my sympathy

What I do!

I do it for a reason

Moral pleasure!

I’m inspired by lies

(Guitar SOLO)

(Instrumental BREAK except CLEAN GUITARS)

(Keyboard SOLO without DRUMS)

(ALL INSTRUMENTS BEGIN)

(Instrumentals – 2 minutes)

(Instrumental BREAK except BASS)

(SOFT VOCALS)

And, when I focused

I noticed

The sound of madness

That made me ask for more

Why don’t you give me more?

(Drum FILL)

(Instruments BEGIN)

The fuse inside my head is blown!

The venom I drink, paralyzes me!

The sickness in me, overrules me!

The bite I take, pinches my inside!

The scars I tear, bleeds my skin!

The holes I drill, pains within!

My madness asks for more!

Give me more!

Just give me more!

And more and more!

(Instrumental break 8 seconds)

(ONLY PIANO)

Visions of you

Prancing before my bloodshot eyes

Get out of my sight

Now

Don’t make me

Tell you this once again

(SPOKEN)

Okay

You asked for this

(Instrumental START)

(Guitar SOLO)

Argh!

(GROWL)

Visions of you

Prancing before my bloodshot eyes

Get out of my sight

Now

Don’t make me

Tell you once again

(SING)

I hate you!

As much as I’d loved you!

I asked for more!

Just a little more!

You gave no more!

You make me feel!

Much needier than I am!

A disrupted morale!

A distorted vision!

A disgusted soul!

I have become

Do you see me anymore?

The real me is lost

Within the sand

(Drum FILL)

Distorted

I have become to myself

Distorted

I see the world to be

Distorted

You have become to me

Distorted

I have become to myself

(Instrumentals – 8 seconds)

(ALL INSTRUMENTS STOP EXCEPT PIANO AND BASS)

The venom I drink, paralyzes me

The sickness in me, overrules me

The bite I take, pinches my inside

The scars I tear, bleeds my skin

The holes I drill, pains within

(SPOKEN REPEAT)

The real me is lost

The real me is found

The real me is lost

The real me is found...

Burning Bridge

(INSTRUMENTAL INTRO)

Awoken from a dream

To a silent room

Where the shadows evoke memories

Sharing the nightmare with you

Caring is no longer enough

For once, I’d love to be true to me

Embracing jealousy in the frozen winds of summer

(Guitar SOLO)

Restless temptations

Feeling naked in the arms of frustrations

The brave hides from the day

(Guitar SOLO)

Warm Decembers

(+TEMPO)

Standing bridge is falling

Running with a burning tail

Cold feelings, with nothing to share

Smoking clouds travelling ahead

Sparing the burning bridge behind

(Drum FILL)

Strike the head

Light the stick

Burn the finger

Torch the wick

Fight the darkness

Torch the wick

Burn the finger

Light the stick

Strike the head

(-TEMPO)

(Drum FILL)

(Keyboard BRIDGE)

(-TEMPO)

Pour a drink to drown into

Longing for tomorrow

But, tomorrow’s far away

Leaning for yesterday

But, yesterday was a dark day

The night will fade to darkness

The sun will come to light

Surviving through the burning flames

Cross the burning bridge

(INSTRUMENTAL FADE OUT)

(WHISPER)

Restless temptations

Feeling naked in the arms of frustrations

The brave hides from the day
