Closed in my bedroom And I'm alone Burning like hell Cigarettes on the floor mat Clothes on the bedroom floor And I know I'm fooling myself that you're here Close by - Everything that you said lost its meaning Every word, every thought burns to nothing at all - Anything you might say just spreads your ashes all around me - Everything that you scarred me with I don't know if it is here anymore I guaranteed that I'd make it through I needed time to get over you But since time seems to be running out I'm rushing things by lying low Now, when I see this some other way I try to fix it but then I say, fool You wrecked my score - be Off with you Cause you don't know what you do Everything that I felt wasn't worth it Cigarettes on the floor mat is all, anymore How can I heal my heart while my heartbeat Is skipping beats For all the days I've lost Wasting precious time Running after you I guarantee you won't make it through You had a way to stick up for you But it is making you lose your head So I will beat you to the draw You may be looking the other way But I am able to see right through you What’s in store? - I'm Done with you You really know that it's true

Pandia 03:44
They gather Beneath your light Mortal druids They ponder Asking way Daughter of the moon Will you share this Will you share with us your knowledge Where can we find all the answers Will you-will you respond if you have them Will you respond? Pandia Tell me what is going on Is it true that this world is burning We've done wrong and our sins Seem to flood and overflow this earth Is it late, or there's still some hope for us To change things And make them right What sacrifice What is the price We need to pay in order To restore all the order

Hideous content In my mind all night I've been thinking Devising ways to get even With you this time Closed feelings But the door open wide I've been waiting For this shadow to unfold and capture All those inner burning flames All this time I've been haunted by you I don't know if this Is the way to get over you It is crystal clear That you don't want anything to do With me anymore So I've got to see this through Hideous content And a door open wide You've been waiting but My own devices fail me My own devices fall All this time I've been haunted by you I don't think that this Is the way to get over you It is crystal clear That you don't want anything to do With me anymore So I've got to see this through With everything that's happened, I know that This ain't a true escape I need to leave it behind - I need to move on Before it is too late

Ding Dong 06:43
Ding dong You rang the bell of my kingdom You came here threatening my freedom And every little thread I keep of fairytale (x2) And since they planned it for us I’ve got to change the chorus I need to keep this up for me   I’ve got to find if this isn’t true, tonight I need to lift the darkness behind your light and I, I’ve got to find if this isn’t you, tonight I miss the clear state of my mind; I'll do this for me   I’ve got to find what this is about, tonight I need to shift the wrongs and just make them right, somehow I’ve got to find the red and the blue, tonight I miss the purple hues of my kind; I'll do this, you’ll see   …this, the place I cannot miss The fortress of my dreams With its towers high On its bastions they lay Yearnings made of clay Memories made by gleams This place I cannot lose This bridge I cross each day To the castle of my hopes When it darkens it shines When it dawns it signs Its promises to stay Ding dong You rang the bell of my kingdom You came here threatening my freedom And every little thread I keep of fairytale (x2) And since they planned it for us I’ve got to change the chorus I've got to bring this to an end

The thoughts that lingered in my mind I had to change to words I wished they’d stayed inside of me but now they fly like birds They run away and make you see They make you realize That even I get scared sometimes and tears can fill my eyes Maybe you’ve hoped that I was strong and I could never break But there are some things in this life that even I can’t take But there’s no need for you to try to make everything right I’ve lost my will, my courage and strength and I’m giving up this fight For you shall hear these worries no more I’ll shut the window and lock the door I’ll put a chain and break the key And you will never set me free I chose this cage over freedom any day It’s much more honest to see it this way It’s better to know that you’re not free than pretend you’ re something that you cannot be And you shall hear these worries no more I’ll shut the window and lock the door I’ll put a chain and break the key And you will never set me free I’d choose this cage over freedom any day It’s much more honest to see it this way It’s better to know that you’re not free than to pretend that you are something you cannot be

Does it make you sad to lose your faith again to lose your everything and live in oceans Does it bring you down from where you had been flying and now you start the lyin’ and hide emotions Does it feel so bad that makes you curl within and burn your every dream that kept you alive Do you erase it all those things that held your chains No ashes, no remains for whom to strive Now you can play your role You’re stronger than before They’ll think it’s fine Everything’s fine Do you wish you had another chance to chose so you could never lose your favorite sight Do you change your mind and fall asleep alone you turn your heart to stone and win the fight Does it hurt so bad that makes you close inside you block your tears and hide your true emotions

Puppeteer I 05:42
On the desert sand the flakes of dune remain Hands of doom and reign exterminate the land Cones of trees aside the darkened veils unfold The maiden arms of cold beneath the sky collide Dangerous of dreams upon the brisk of dawn As guilty as it seems it’s nothing but a pawn The real source of pain is just a puppeteer who lingers in the rain to draw the foolish near On the perished grave the writing fades away The token of a ray for which the witches crave Lurking in the night to swallow in the pleasure of finding all the treasure that’s hidden out of sight

Stupid Song 04:40
Talking it through Seems to be going wrong I get distracted Just listening to the song That keeps on playing And I can’t hear no more The things you’re saying I’m somewhere long ago You see me smile Images in my brain I may seem stupid Maybe it’s cupid Doing his tricks again We’re not in the same place We used to be back then I want to hold you You want to be my friend It’s getting late I must be going home Don’t bother standing Please understand me I need to walk it off I’ll be just fine I have this stupid song To keep me smiling When shit like that go wrong
