Counting Our Scars

Shut down, turn off - erase and forget My heart is getting numb My square, my circle - just walk this dotted line I cannot hear your scream - I can not, I can not We fail, succeed - it is not up to me I'm getting lost again - can't find you can't find me Can't follow this footprint, it's getting hard to see This knot around my neck gets tighter and tighter Our lives subsides - in disgrace In a cage Until our hearts stop - endless maze In a cage I know what it's like but can you hear me Drowning in this hole but can you save me Inside - in this cage - it's getting darker Inside - in this cage - it's getting cold Our lives subsides - in disgrace In a cage Until our hearts stop - endless maze In a cage Face to face - I can't embrace - our lives at stake in a cage Face to face - I can't embrace - our lives at stake in a cage For how long can you look away When nothing ever comes your way

Can you live this lie Can you breathe when nothing gains And day by day - we'll all just fade away My eyes were blind Moving on but going nowhere That feeble mind - would always grag you down Can you still believe Can you still ignore this panic Your world caved in and left you shivering Can you rise again Can you rise when all is lost When all you see - will only break you down So here we are Burning the soil again We're ripped apart We're counting our scars I can't see them I just feel them Move your fingers Tear them open It is all inside Can you keep it in forever You're torn apart - this hole inside your heart Can you rise again Can you rise when all is lost When all you see - will only break you down

What is lost what is found We starve ourselves to death This is the pit - here's where I dig One on one, two on one - tear you down Break the will inside you - make you fit Beg for deliverance - cut your way out Hide my head in the sand Look away again Step by step were going down Is this the war of the pacifist Is this the god of the nihilist Beg for deliverance - cut your way out Into the void again - this time it's for real Hide from this constant fear - this wound will not heal Now I can't save your soul - can't help you to breath Pray for forgiveness now - get ready to bleed Now another day has passed And I can't see where to go It's tragedy in its prime Waste the hours - do my time Now I can't save your soul - can't help you to breath Pray for forgiveness now - get ready to bleed

There is no truth - break the illusion Will you submit to this confusion We have no choice - breath out our sickness It's a mistake - it's a delusion We're all outnumbered - were all alone Let those sinners cast their stone Clear this path - road to damnation Now it's too late to find salvation So leave this broken halo, leave it all behind You can't erase this madness can't rewind Never again you told me, never again you said We will all burn together when all is dead Chaos - damn this charade, sinking in malice Faking our masquerade, twisting in madness It's getting close now - inhale the tension There is no time for your redemption Before the storm - it all subsides Now it's over - close your eyes

All colours are gone I stay black to escape The grain in my eyes reeks of bitter regret Chasing those hours, wasting that time Try to hold on to the past, but the moment is gone And I can't wait for this life It's already over me And I try to slow it all down But the moment has passed - the moment is gone Down in this hole, it cripples my soul Nothing can help me to crawl back again What can I do, what have I done A minute to late - a lifetime to long Now the pain comes again Now the moment is gone A shivering ghost, a blistering cold Now this soul will be twisted and torn Consumed by this shadow, engulfed in this shade When will it end, when will it fade Try to hold on to the past, but the moment is gone Now the pain comes again Now the moment is gone

Can't decrypt this code - can't hear you, you scare me Repeating history, this silence is deafening Advancing backwards, still counting, still hoping Throw it all away - translucent and hollow Can't give forgiveness now, it's tragic, pathetic Scriblling figures, no control, I'm in freefall No emotions left, just waiting for nothing Breaking me apart, replaced and forgotten Once again - I'm standing here with nothing Once again - I'm left alone Once again - can't you feed this sorrow Your soul will be standing right next to mine

A flesh wound - bleeding open It drains out all your hope Don't come closer, in here there is no air I'm that eye - staring at you now Fail to cry - this is the place where all the dead ends meet What gets - inside Always stays inside And all those screams will never leave me alone Force that nail - into this hopeless heart I will fail - if this is what it takes What's it gonna be How it is gonna feel - when they turn it around What are you gonna hear What are you gonna see - when you fall to the ground When I try to speak All these dead ends meet I slip down - on loose ground Falling further down the line And all this rage is burning - out of control I'm that eye - staring at you now Fail to cry - this is the place where all the dead ends meet I slip down - on loose ground Falling further down the line And all this rage is burning - out of control It's all done - it's all set It's all you'll ever need Don't move, don't move, don't even try to breathe It's all done - it's all set It's all you'll ever need Don't move, don't move, don't even try to breathe Force that nail - into this hopeless heart I will fail - if this is what it takes to stay alive

Drained from wounds that you cannot see Carry nothing and have nothing to give Swim in chaos - smother in doubt A painful life now lies ahead Now - it's dark inside - memories stashed away Now - it's dark inside - shame and guilt is our child There's no light where we stray No salvation where we aim Don't want to die if I never lived Close the door you're on your own Pain - is all they left behind Pain - is all that's left inside Right here - I fall Right here is where it ends Blood in my eyes Blood in my mouth Moving on - but can't you see We're just an inch from falling down Walking backwards embracing the dead Can't go back - you're on your own Now - it's dark inside - shame and guilt is our child Now - it's dark inside - memories stahed away

What is wrong with you, it's broken We are done, can't you see You're dying, how can you laugh at me This pain is nothing Defeated - broken - bleeding All I've got - is what I - was given And it's always one more lie Can't go on, can't go back And it's always one more lie Stuck in this trap Do I serve - your purpose What is this - what are we doing here Hold your breath now - for how long - for too long - it's done Defeated - broken - bleeding All I've got - is what I - was given Burn these images into your eyes Look behind all this and realise I don't know what is breaking inside I don't know what I'm going to find Stuck in this trap
