The Fading
Album • 2009
Don't talk don't look at me This conversation never meant to be Stop pretending that you really want to know Please stop this freak show Don't talk don't look at me Why disturbing my serenity I can face your masquerade of pity So why don't you leave me alone Why don't you lower your high standards? You're nothing but a social toy Can't you just escape from these convenances? I can't understand why you always seem to be right When your mind is logged off From any form of this life Beyond the rising sun My future waits for me You see black and I see white And this is how it's gonna be Don't talk don't look at me Why don't you obtain some self esteem? You hide behind the consequences of daring You're getting repulsed by sanity Last drops of hope - So invisible Is your freedom for sale? You are surrounded by sweet promises Temptation is much too strong Don't try to avoid the progress Of your development as a man Open your eyes The choices that I made. You cannot understand Even jealousy won't push you into making a change Your weakness is your fear to see things as they are Who are you to judge me while my open scars still bleed? I have lost the faith in you You are left without passion for life There is nothing you can do This is the final you

Days of confusion always bring Glittering lies Life's wounded souls are trapped In thousand of cries I find this struggle is more than I can take I must control my faith Silence - hidden desperation within my soul These words of frustration reflect my Nether-world Searching for the meaning For the puprose and the taste of life Dreaming of the same answers The Lost chances I am dead inside Screaming to the sky But there is always silence To answer my cries Struggle or delight The lost perspective of my life Melted in my own existence Sunken hope for better days My efforts to find a goal Like a dumb symphony for a deaf soul Searching for the meaning For the puprose and the taste of life Dreaming of the same answers The Lost chances I am dead inside I'll turn my back on gloomy days To face the sunrise once again The phobia to live is blinded by hope My vision rapidly turns blind I've revealed the truth by another lie My quest for tranquillity is over My words again are running for cover

I refuse to ruin my future with your empty promises I wish i could hide my dream in my own private shell Headless puppets all around Strings attached, why are they so proud? Idols rule ours children's pride Goals completed with failure cries Lack of choices they obey Tax for blindness they will pay Everlasting hopeless stream Fragile struggle for the american dream Fight for your own choices Fight for your own belief It's time-lead, don't follow To fight-fight for this I am the sin collector I refuse to take your stand I am the faith deceiver I won't change my way God devotion they adore Generation's useless whore Heroes sell their lives for vision Senses trapped in a routine of lies Words are meaningless to them All they do is to pretend Innocent tears are an invisible sin Guilty grin while shredding their skin Why can't you learn from your mistakes? Why can't you smell the burning hope? Why a lie is always the default choice? How come it's never your fault? Your fragile future will turn to dust The next tomorrow won't wait for us

Transforming your mistakes to scream Is pain your friend or enemy? Gifted with the talent to ruin pleasure, to ruin sense The truth is slapping your shocked face Your' re in the jungle of hatred Stop this pathetic dialogue with yourself Relax and enjoy the sorrow Like there is no tomorrow! You are master of this mess Combining failure with success The quest for understanding is over for you now! You lost the ability to connect to this world Collection of mistakes, too heavy, too cruel Twisted reality still playing a major role You have to face it, you are destined to fall! To find a meaning in the last words To realize the truth still hurts In search for a reason to go on To trust the faith or is it gone? To count the seconds in your head Or fight death until the last breath One step to end this misery One step to drama. to set it free

This track is instrumental.
Those tears embraced your angel's smile These scary words erased the last denial The door is closed, all hope is gone This faceless worlds has turned to ice Defenseless soul in weeping eyes Another faith's test to survive Another weakness to defeat To seek comfort under broken wings You think you'll disappear in graceful tears The chase for shreds of joy Will not bring color to your face But days will heal your wounded soul It's life-you must adore You'll find a shelter in tomorrow Betray the pain, engrave the sorrow It feels so cold to realize Reality frozen in depths of cries Forsaken shelter screams in vain Forgotten pleasure awakes the pain The light shall prevail, and burn your tears of sorrow It's rays illumination will raise your feeble voice The gentle touch of eden will cover you with grace The season of desperation eventually will fade away Hear it... feel it... breathe it... taste it... The sound of freedom in your ears The gloomy days will disappear You're getting stronger every day The wish of agony betrayed

Take a look at me-what do you see? Have i lost the human in me? Am i a shadow of my own reflection? Am i going in the wrong direction? I see fear in your eyes! I see lips screaming lies! Melted hope, swallowed pain Empty whole, dirty rain On written tragedy i live With a scratched soul, by self belief The withered moments are passing by How can i overcome this life? Step one: close your eyes Step two: hold your breath inside Step three: let your anger free Step four: scream!!! So again i'm on the run Chasing freedom, sense is gone Am i facing an endless road? This routine will kill me whole You are trapped and lost again Since you've found the way to use your brain Sleepless nights of million thoughts Let them go!!! This is the final chance To bring me back myself again How can i leave this mess? I know i can't, i can't, i guess...

When dream meets reality, your future is no longer your past When dream meets reality, your fears are gone at last Drained by environment, filled from inside Laughing in darkness, crying in light So, you are wasted and left with shreds of dignity Your lame excuses are reflected on your dying soul Flying in a sky of self-confusion, Sailing through sea of despair, Sentenced to suffer, forced to smile, Trapped in a temple of denial The fading words escaped your world with poetry, Eventually you will escape, you will be free Sweet tones of change have coloured your dreams, Forgotten guilt was left behind, you are no more embraced by fear Now your body is underground, your soul-above the skies, And tears are falling on you through the grave Memories treasured in hearts, speaking silence. "Are you done?" Useless confessions always coming late... So, you are wasted, and left with shreds of dignity Your lame excuses are reflected on your dying soul Erased by lies, when all dreams have died Erased by truth, when reality has ruled When dream... When dream... When dream... When dream meets reality!

Beg for forgiveness or retreat Forced to forget, to see the sundown and then regret Haunted by future, cheated by faith, aimless journey to the grave You digging your own hole, Depression makes you crawl The scars of yesterday, Are driving you insane Now too much drama in the air, Why don't you scream "My life is not fair"? Is it such a shame to be alive? Your hollow vision makes you blind! I never said that life's just fun, You fucked up yours, don't mess with mine Yeah, i paid the price, for regrets no time, Mental strength and misery, all of them are mixed in me My dreams are a broken paradise, my knowledge is trapped in lies Freedom is my heroin, yours? it's just a dream... The fields you walk are painted red, The words you speak, they slowly fade... The look you gave, escaped in fear, The love you felt just disappeared... I never said that life just fun, You fucked up yours, don't mess with mine

Just tell me if it's real! Times of confusion that i can't define Bring my belief in knowledge To become a better lie I sick perfection in every move i make My spiritual vision is drowning More and more, every single day Take the years of pain away from me The dreams i dread will set me free Still i can't find my peace of mind The lost prospects i shall obey Life refuses to, freedom penetrates Into ages of loneliness Time will never heal Words can't ease the pain It's the age of loneliness I want to doubt just every step i ever take Sometimes i see the true color of faith But why is it always fake? Delightful desperation is taking control No one can help me now No one can save my soul I wonder if this fear is real The expectation for the end is always near Beneath the surface of my cries There is an everlasting will to stay alive After my efforts to accept the pain I dig inside my soul To find a place for staying sane The price i pay for life is still too high Beyond my deepest expectations i hide
