A Sense of Purpose

Look at the dead outside my window Wonder what's on their mind? Why do they run? They all seem to have a mission But then they cry themselves to sleep [Chorus:] You receive what you give And this is like nothing I feel like shit But at least I feel something Is this all you meant to be? Their marks in the pavement You've walked this route too many times What if I changed the signs? Would you even take notice? [Chorus] Is this all you have to give? So... March... Straight jacket union... So... March... In chains - surrender [Chorus x2]

Hopeless times approach Just give into the chaos Strangely I find comfort here Impatient and curious of what may come ...And so the rampage begins Against the headache I can't win [Chorus:] Drain Me Keep me in the dark I don't want to take part Prefer to be forever numb Nothing great can come out of this But I'm hostage to myself I fear I might collapse on the razor's edge And I fear I'll realize when it's too late ...And so the rampage begins Against the headache I can't win [Chorus] Sleepless again I need to ease my mind And kill what burns inside Sleepless again I can't win [Chorus]

The serpent knows, When the curtain falls, With denials blindfold, He greets another day [Chorus:] Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfect ten, When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Life's wrapped in a riddle, Easier said than done, Way to play the victim, Rather run and hide. [Chorus] Let them take me far away Crawl back in place, It's easier to cope behind the curtain, Wipe the worries away No thought about the consequence [Chorus] Let them take me far away

I am my deepest shadow, Something I can't ever neglect, Rise above these ashes, Or fall and fade away In dark moments, I know better, Within destruction, I see clearly [Chorus:] From here to new grounds, Suppose I will be doing it alone, With a smile through black design Fearless of your conviction Staring into truth, I am the highway, Existence, care for me in all Your everlasting complications In dark moments, I know better Within destruction, I see clearly [Chorus] Forget the promised land, There was never an invitation, Today I create my own, Before there was sorrow And lack of attention [Chorus]

Consume the curse That brings you down (A fading liar) Who wakes up alone It's there In front of you [Chorus:] Invert this tragedy to come And reclaim your future This is a call to arms One quest at a time Feed the hunger, Climb on up Repress the negative You are not alone It's there In front of you [Chorus] Avoid the mould Desperate you regress Move through me I'll be your triumph [Chorus]

Tell me which side I'm on Approaching constant failure Tell me which side I'm on (Who's friend or foe?) Approaching constant failure Between love and hate Which path to follow? How can I keep balance in this race? Come faith, I'm dying (slowly) In many ways I'm the burden that devides us from the light In many ways you're the halo that keeps my spirit alive Temptation Play the good or evil part With me, you evoke the dark Erase the free will and watch me heal Tell me which side I'm on Approaching constant failure Between love and hate Which path to follow? How can I keep balance in this race? Come faith, I'm dying... Amused by the trials and tribulations If I survive I fly from here But as the chosen pessimist I carve my name in stone I carve my name in stone Amused by the trials and tribulations If I survive I fly from here How can I keep balance in this race? Come faith I'm dying...

Used to be original, But now I tremble in fear I am like everyone else And that buries me Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten? [Chorus:] I've become the distance, I am the sober and irrelevant, I don't feel part in this, What is there to believe? I'm not asking for much, just a moment A chance to pick up the pieces Happiness, please, come home What if it ends right here How do I change it? Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way [Chorus] Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten? Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way [Chorus]

So restless, These walls drain my thoughts Room 307 Can't find my way out It used to be my home This cage, far from my comfort zone Alive but without control... Fear is taking hold I should cross the line Confront like the blind [Chorus:] Hear a distant cry... Would you tell me how To break the cycle that I'm in And discover the living? I don't recognize my soul Condemned to live in this black hole? Dig within time... and crave what is mine. [Chorus] I should cross the line... Confront like the blind Hear a distant cry... Would you tell me how To break the cycle that I'm in It's a hill to climb Would be a dream if I, Design a future and Not the end of time

You won't Find a friendly face in the crowd, It's quite amusing to see how you suffer I refuse, to let you steal my daylight, Barely awake - but it strengthens my night rage I've seen you kill many dreams, But I got brand new armour, And your weapons are way out of reach How does it feel to be demolished, Vaporized into thin air? Strange new feeling to be nothing. [Chorus] All the words I hear... they don't mean a thing [x2] All drenched in fear, And the hate you bring Make me bother, I dare you, I've got the strength I need, But I'll await my darkest moment, When the guilt doesn't get to me. [Chorus x2]

I used to adore you The lies made sense somehow Gave myself away without a fight But the betrayal claims its price At first I was scared Not used to a murder's mind But there was something beautiful So powerful, so definite, so divine Pushing the faith Build out of rage [Chorus:] Falling ideals Broken seals March to the shore You are a killer! Is it something that's always been there? Was it always destined to leave its cage? I'm glad we met though I love to release the rage But everything has its end And I've done my deed The final bullet - always meant for me Pushing the faith Build out of rage [Chorus] But everything has its end And I've done my deed The final bullet - always meant for me [Chorus x2]
