Two Feet Stand




1. Two Feet Stand

Strong is he who fights
for his beliefs
Everyday he struggles
with his grief
Crossbound by all his
friends
Listen he's taking all the
blame

For you and me
Just don't loose
your faith in me

Preaches about hell
on earth
No one cares, but wants
to be like you... to be you

You and I return alive
into a world
that's mine again
Warfare!
Standing on my own
Love her!
Love her on the throne
Left her! Left her all alone
The bleeding, stands
Closer now to put
an end to this
Feel her, touch her
and the pain would go

Griefing your loss of her
Standing on my own

Two feet stand
Two feet stand


2. Flipside Of Reality

Why did I do such a thing
to myself, my family and friends
I distracted them with lies
I thought they were blind
but yet they saw

What was I doing to me
I was so blind

Ain't got the time
Ain't got the time
to straighten up myself

I fooled everyone
with my tearfilled eyes
but not only with lies
Also with my cries
I figured I was better
but really I don't know
Cause nothing exists!

In my head
those voices screaming
wake me up
I must be dreaming
In my head those voices
screaming
dreaming

No one can ever drag me
back to shoot
I've got my own free choice
Working with learning
other people to know
how to handle it
And accepting all the lies
Fiction reality makes 'em cry

I got my own free choices

Ain't got the time
Ain't got the time
To straighten up myself
Fall down again
Falling again to the
Flipside of reality


3. The Downfall

Even though it sounds easy you should
relate to the fall
My inner words of rage
bursting through my head
if it is what it seems
You should be much closer
to the rage that I feel
It's glowing
Deep down in my mind I see you
feel the same as me stay brave

As they always stare right through you
They don't notice you
Even though they should,
you're a quite special guy
that's what you think
Don't you, but you're nothing!
you mean nothing to me
Nothing special at all
you are just a looser that sickens us all

You should try to end it all
you're confused by your tolerance
That's just totally unnecessary right now!
Just end your life

Downfall, Downfall, Downfall
End your life now

[repeat chorus]


4. Awake Of Abuse

Keep me awake, speak to me
I don't ever want to sleep again
I can see you look at the bruises
on my arms and neck, my swollen throat

Now at the time I'm just flowing
with the stream and I'm trying
to bring back my life

Patience, endless rules
brings me back and forth
my own domestic war

Wake me into another world
where there is no pain and hurt

It all submits
that I shouldn't take
to be abused anymore
Keep on living but still afraid
and would it be too late

[repeat chorus]


5. Netherworld

[Instrumental]


6. Do Me Now

Get me done
Clear your arm for another shoot
Inject me!
Feel the tension that chills your bones
your step belongs to me

So don't face me / so don't face me
So don't confront me / Don't confront me
So don't face me / so don't face me
So don't confront me / try to do me now

I am the one who makes your stands
I am the nightmare they tried to hide
So keep me close to your heart
You never thought it could hurt so bad

[repeat chorus]


7. Murder...

Why don't you...
Feel like I feel
The true Reality
My words are no lies
But yet not devine

Murder...
My one domain
Murder...
My life in flames

Why don't you...
Pull out your head
Out from your ass
I'm not filled with pain
But so filled with shame

I'm not one of those
Who escapes the world
A purpose shall be done
My wrecking haunted gun
Acting the same
And I'm not filled with shame
But yet I feel pain
More and more everyday
All this pain!!

Murder...
My one domain
Murder...
A living flame

I'm not one of those
Who escapes the world
A purpose shall be served
to my untrue world
Where I'm a hated man
And I kill just to be heard
A purpose shall be served
To the untrue world


8. Freedom

It's all completely silent except memories of the past
More freedom [x2]
All I am refusing is the mortal man that enslaves
More freedom [x2]
Explain it all to me I'm pale and broken free
More freedom, freedom

I can't feel more for than I've always done
Detest your holy war extermination grows
Grotesc inprisonment character denied
Furious visions of the life we proceed
LIFE!
It's all completely silent of all and any screams
More freedom [x2]

Explain it all to me I'm pale and broken free
More freedom, freedom
This is a picture attached to your war
Make me see what you see extermination lost
Killings of hundreds doesn't even make you flinch
A runaway incarcerated they took away your soul
SOUL!
When extermination grows
I hope you feel that much you die
No one can see how difficult it seems
With my luck I soon will cease to be
Incarceration the loss of my soul bury me in hell
Bury me in flowers I just past (passed?) away
Now I'm free

There is something caught behind my eye
Run to the end the screams before you are nothing
Extermination lacks
Increased or something lost upon the throne
You are nothing to us it's a war

Walking hand in hand embodying my soul
From the gates of pain into a home of joy
Keep fighting for your rights
Expand your freedom


9. Mindless Domination

You're destroying everything
Everything you touch
When you are here in me
This is how close you'll get
with me, I'm like the criminal
Insane with an urge of rage in me
I shouldn't still be free

The voices in my head twist my mind groundly
Paralyzed my fears of my own judgement

Not standing on my own controlled
by a voice in my head
Losing the control of life
can't decide about my own visions of life
So sickened of the lies

The voices in my head twist my mind groundly
Paralyzed my fears of my own judgement
Cause of what they say no matter what
Still I hear their screams, terrified, afraid

Grow

A piece is getting sicker my mind is contaged
Insane, prevailed

It could happen to us all in a day
Falling down into my crypt
The voices in my head will stay free

Voices!

The voices in my head twist my mind groundly
Paralyzed my fears of my own judgement
Cause of what they say no matter what
Still I hear their screams, terrified, afraid
