“I have decided to keep this tape recorder with me at all times. Just so that maybe one day I can explain all the strange things happening to me. The lack of sleep. The loss of time. But most of all the sensation of never being lonely... always being watched.” Look at me And tell me if there’s something strange you see Am I special? – Something’s wrong Can’t be the only one Talk to me – stare me in the eyes and say you know it too It really doesn’t matter I know your fear – seen it all The truth We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan Tell you about my theory Cleanse myself from secrecy Prove it’s not all fantasies All to live in decency My quest for answers The truth of what lies behind The search is over And I’m in shock of what I’ve found We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan We are all a part of Forced to live within A conspiracy for ages The masterplan...

You can’t possibly know me What I feel ‘cause even I don’t A strange sensation of never being lonely Has made me question the essence of existence of life Are we parts of a puzzle? Small pieces in a major plan Puppets on a string being run by a master Formed and shaped like clay I’m trying but failing, unanswered cries unites The struggling of finding the truth behind the lies I’m trying, they’re laughing, my rulers of the mind I’m trying, I’m trying “I am a mystery. They have not become my best. I’ve been stripped of all value. People arrived all over my head. I’m worth nothing here. My body’s become my prison. And they are the guards. Forever locked in, and there’s no way out. This is my reality. I’m one of the lost children.” (????) (Domino) (????) Their constant presence deceives me I can’t tell when I’m awake or when I dream And my hiding is useless My anxiety reveals me, gives me away I’m trying but failing, unanswered cries unites The struggling of finding the truth behind the lies I’m trying, they’re laughing, my rulers of the mind I’m trying, I’m trying

Time has come to ask myself What future lies ahead? The weakness of my soul awakes the fury that was dead And what is it that brings out the shame In my dreams I travel Lost, confused Still searching Watching the skies All my sleep is wasted Awake or not Still waiting Watching the skies My home is no longer a place where safety can be found Constantly looking over my shoulder Forced into the darkest corner of the mind I find myself not trusting anyone And distrust leaves you lonely The hiding from the fear brings me closer to despair Feelings of doubt joins me I fight to keep myself above the surface I try but the waves I swim are just growing stronger The light’s getting distant and I am drifting further I’m being swallowed by the night In my dreams I travel Lost, confused Still searching Watching the skies All my sleep is wasted Awake or not Still waiting Watching the skies Please be the eyes That guides me through Please be the hands to lead me In search for the shocking truth Please be my courage My will to win Please understand and listen Please be my friend

See my sorrow My tears when they fall Feel my anguish Where’s my shelter when I am cold? My eyes seek something But finds nothing at all My soul screams for mercy Where’s my guidance when I’m lost? The will I had ain’t strong enough The strength I seek ain’t there And my world is dead My future’s broken ‘Cause it all stays the same... They’re coming They’re coming They’re coming They’re coming They’re coming... They’re coming...

Like leaves on trees in fall I’m shivering, I’m falling Like the screams from a new-born child So innocent, so fragile Screaming, struggling, trying I want to see what the future holds This life in fear is no life at all The will I had ain’t strong enough And the strength I seek ain’t there My world is dead, my future’s broken And it all stays the same They’re coming They’re coming here to stay They’re coming They’re taking me away They’re coming They’re coming here to stay They’re coming They’re taking me away I beg for a helping hand I’m reaching, I am searching But no... And I pray for an ear that listens My hope’s washed away I’m here alone I hear them They’re coming Quickly through the hallway The door opens ...Helpless again... The will I had ain’t strong enough The strength I seek ain’t there My world is dead, my future’s broken ‘Cause it all stays the same They’re coming They’re coming here to stay They’re coming They’re taking me away They’re coming Only to leave me in shame Simply leave me

The sun is back again – the day is here Try to recall, try to remember what night brought upon me this time There it is – I’ve seen it before Recognize the shape I’m scarred but not sore Recognize the shape I recognize the shape I’ve been marked by the triangle Screams for answers Lost beyond control And I, I try to find a reason But here I am, a hollow soul Here I am, I’ve been marked by the triangle The night has come It brings the fear It’s never-ending everlasting What was that sound? Is somebody here? I can sense their presence The room is getting colder Screams for answers Lost beyond control And I, I try to find a reason But here I am, a hollow soul Here I am, I’ve been marked by the triangle It’s getting harder to breath Please go away You’ve already taken my dignity And what more could you possibly need “I need to relax.” The darkness is gone “Going to remember everything that happened.” It’s day... “I see it clearly. And I feel... that I am just asking... the same.” “When I count to three, I want you to remember the first time you saw it? Alright. One. Two. Three.” Screams for answers Lost beyond control And I, I try to find a reason But here I am, a hollow soul Here I am, I’ve been marked by the triangle Screams for answers Lost beyond control

Twilight, still not dark The snow on the ground sheds some light A silhouette not taller than a child Appears in the doorway Too strange to be real, yet too real to be a dream Immense fear grabs a hold of me I’m paralyzed, numb and naked Branches passes me I see treetops beneath me A floor in grey below me slowly shuts like an iris (Activity – and all turns black once again) (Lunacy – my weakness force me to follow) (Encountering a depth of hate never seen) (Blood runs cold – I cease exist and my soul is hollow) (All turns black once again) (Lunacy – my weakness force me to follow) (Encountering a depth of hate never seen) (Blood runs cold – I cease exist and my soul is hollow) Deprived of all pride I’ve been stripped of all value I’m worth nothing here And I know no one Deprived of all pride I’ve been stripped of all value Worth nothing here And I know no one ...I am not crazy, it’s just the mind... ...I am not crazy, it’s just the mind... I am not crazy, it’s just the mind She stares at me At least I perceive her as a she And she speaks to me ...I can hear her... Her lips doesn’t move Why can’t I be left alone to live my life in harmony? The visitors by night make this a living nightmare Deprived of all pride I’ve been stripped of all value Worth nothing here And I know no one Deprived of all pride I’ve been stripped of all value Worth nothing here And I know no one Deprived of all pride I’ve been stripped of all value Worth nothing here And I know no one Deprived of all pride I’ve been stripped of all value On the other side of the dark waters

The silence awakes me My heartbeat would so easily reveal me Who am I? What is left? Is it my mind? That constantly deceives me I am beginning to doubt me If what I feel and see is real It seems as if I exist in different worlds There is one in darkness One is loss of time One of self-doubt and one of hurt All my pride has left me My value as a human has been extinguished My close ones, those who love Disbelieve me, won’t believe me So I got no-one to confide in And what worse is I’m beginning to accept this My body is become my prison My keepers are what you would call... fiction I am beginning to doubt me If what I feel and see is real It seems as if I exist in different worlds There is one in darkness One is loss of time One of self-doubt and one of hurt “Oh my God, it’s happening again. They’re here. There are more than me. Oh please don’t touch me. What did I do? I don’t want to be here. I don’t wanna be here, I want to go home. Oh please don’t touch me, please don’t touch me. I wanna go home.” I am beginning to doubt me If what I feel and see is real It seems as if I exist in different worlds There is one in darkness One is loss of time One of self-doubt and one of hurt I am beginning to doubt me If what I feel and see is real It seems as if I exist in different worlds There is one in darkness One is loss of time One of self-doubt and one of hurt

Strapped in a bed with no clothes The room has no windows... I try to remember last night But there’s nothing... It is cold and my body starts to shiver I try to fight it but trying makes me nauseous I’m having a hard time deciding If this is where they take me Where they take me (Ah... ah...) I’m crawling back to sleep And I still can’t believe How come you lost your faith in me? I spoke with nothing but honesty I don’t recognize the silence I can feel it the reality of it scares me Sounds of steps outside Keys in the door-lock White robes They’re human – I’ve been misled (Ah... ah...) I’m crawling back to sleep And I still can’t believe How come you lost your faith in me? I spoke with nothing but honesty I’m crawling back to sleep And I still can’t believe I’m crawling back to sleep And I still can’t believe How come you lost your faith in me? I spoke with nothing but honesty I’m crawling back to sleep And I still can’t believe How come you lost your faith in me? Why did you lose your faith?
