Temporary Peace Pressure As the pressure grows and these feelings flow trample on bodies, bodies in holes of faith times I've asked the lord for forgiveness while kept under a spell of a sweating locust's breath. No need to tell me 'cos its written on your face sliding down now with the black lights shining I don't care where you go you won't get away from me black as the night is day filled with no sympathy marching down the hall for a misery I don't care where you go you won't get away from me... Mouth tastes of sick stomach twisting inside everything's wrong and I can't get away the gravity of fear you can feel it coming near it's coming straight for you it'll twist and drag you down I don't care where you go you won't get away from me... Release Seeing is believing but I don't want to know walk on through the wasteland I just can't let go face down I just break down when I see you cry all the time (sometimesssssssss) Hold on please hold on to me tempt fate release escape Someone now is screaming as the flames fly high think now that we're lost here and we don't know why face down I just break down when I see you cry all the time Hold on please hold on to me tempt fate release escape Behind those grey and lonely eyes unforgotten by time reality is dawning our spirit is awakening and somewhere in the hurricane hope is waiting crying in the distance and calling out your name Looking Outside Inside Is this the one who thought it was insane coming down against it all Didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it Twisted face of fading beauty count the cost of suffering cannot see the day before you only feel what's deep inside try to change it makes no difference Didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it Let me go Looking outside inside craving for something hoping for anything - I'll believe in anything who has eyes that see - who wants to believe? in something, in anything? in one thing in freedom - looking outside inside set assist pandemonium - broken promises died alive flying high - you caught me in your eye. disintegrated insinerated this is not now I want to be - too much is coming through someone please tell me what to do looking outside inside Leave No Trace Born to the glare of the senses spoon the reality infused a new inherent passive contentment you are so easily amused Here and now we are gone in a happy a dream in the passage your time chances are fading this world isn't waiting the moment is passing you by Questions lie beneath the surface the fools are fooled once again A concience we stole our existence and gladly cast it to the wind Here and now we are gone in a happy a dream in the passage your time chances are fading this world isn't waiting the moment is passing you by Underworld There's always something you would dare to say your good intentions are boring take me away if it keeps you sane then it's ok if I play it safe would it save me I'd like to get some rest now if I can just ignore the truth scratching at the window this time I got to make a move ego (inflammation) stand back and watch me... dissolve all recognition Burn this wait out of my mind running through my veins until I dissapear This feeling is over me Climbing up the wall gonna creep between the cracks ..........................tie the ropearoundmyneck destroy all emotionnnnn gona rip me face to shreds cut my eyeballs open Burn this wait out of my mind running through ny veins until I dissapear This feeling is over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Breaking Over The) Barriers Floating (inatankofhatredfuel) with nowhere to hide unspoken (10000thousandthoughtsanhourandrising) twist back inside How did we get here Life don't belong here Feel like I just never tried to find a way back to the outside it stops me from breathing kills all the dreaming Talking To You From The Other Side Of A Wall In My Mind And It's Clear That You're Near To Me. Think I Found A Way To Understand Why I Couldn't See What Was Happening The Fear Overcame Me.Took A Trip On The Inside I Took A Trip On The Inside I Try To Hold On 'til This Feeling Is Gone.Break Through To The Other Side Need To Break Through To The Other Side Of Everything... I just can't lay down and die it takes a lifetime to understand why it seems that you need me but you don't seem to hear me Talking to you from the other side of a wall...sickshitsickshitsickshitsickshitsickshitsick shit.... Panic You know you ain't going nowhere you're stuck inside while the mind is flying you said you'd help me in the morning twisting on pins into my eyes and we driving on the ceiling below you... facin' up the walls with your crocked hands while you're miles away I don't think at all end up like this there's spiders on the wall and they stink of piss dead heads lying in the corner staring at me making me feel BAD I put my hands up to my eyes but the holes in my palms let me find a way to corner you I can't feel my chest because it ain't much sucking through my skin into my BRAIN oxygen pushing on the window cracks in the glass let it slip away I start to cry and I keep on laughing I close my eyes at what's left inside and then i'll ran away For all the time this land for all the time in my hand slip around (... ...) once again Razor blades floating in the warm bath air bubbles in your veins turning my hands black whispers coming from the next room window cleaner keeps on SPYING I put my hands up to my eyes but the HOLES in my PALMS let me find a way to corner me twelve (12) hammer for My breakfast slipping of the edge in catatonic blood multiple decibel inscriptions trying all they can in miles an hour ... face grey and looming downwards sniffing ALL THE TIME for a ounce of silence screaming all the way numbers counting down inside me solar system thoughts circle round my HEAD false teeth hanging from the ceiling feet looking of the goms of the 2nd son I eat my hands cos my legs are crying you BROKE my neck cause i snapped my spine I wish you would die away to all the time in this land and all the time in my hands circle round in depth found calmness fall once again A Fine Day To Exit Long way from home nowhere to go what made the river so cold the sweat of thoughts trickle down my brow soaking and stinging my eye tell tale sighs and cries of dreams unFULFILLED and time is running DRY PANIC stricken bloodshot hearts TRY TO RESTART but no longer build the well to survive sweet oblivion I got these feelings and I don't know why I see all my fears in the darkness of light WHAT MADE THE RIVER SO COLD? never anyone to rearrange and fall to time inside the EMPTY call to the blameless I am faithless placid dying eyes you gotta face it head on so you can't turn this thing around cos this ain't right you have to go eye to eye raise your face to the sky cos this ain't right I got to believe when I say only this is the way Temporary Peace Deep inside the silence staring out upon the sea the waves are washing over half forgotten memory Deep within the moment laughter floats upon the breeze rising and falling dying down within me and I swear I never knew how it could be and all this time all I had inside was what i couldn't see I swear I never knew how it couldn't be all the waves are washing over all that hurts inside of me Beyond this beautiful horizon lies a dream for you and i this tranquil scene is still unbroken by the rumours in the sky but there's a storm closing in voices crying on the wind the serenade is growing colder breaks my soul that tries to sing and there's so many many thoughts when I try to go to sleep but with you I start to feel a sort of temporary peace there's a drift in and out
