Pleasant Faces and Disguises

#1

EMPTY FACE

I’ve never done anything
No plans for my future
That's my way and will be
I’ve just made my way around

Empty face
Never has a thing to say
No tales to tell
No story
Empty face
Turns his eyes up to the skies
To hear his silent cries

They’ve always tried to help me
But they did not realise

Empty face
Never has a thing to say
No tales to tell
No story
Empty face
Turns his eyes up to the skies
To hear his silent cries

That's my way
with empty face
That's my way

#2

ABUSED

You slowly drain my anger
Depression never goes away
You pull your strings to hurt me
In this awkward game you play

You make me feel
Empty inside
You make me weak
I can’t stand this abuse

You make me so unhappy
Pleasant face is your disguise
Your anger, a raging fire
I’m aiming right between your eyes

You make me feel
Empty inside
You make me weak
I can’t stand this abuse

I’ll make you see
I’m not that weak
You’ve said your piece
I won’t accept this excuse

Can’t you see
What you have done to me?
You’ll never bring me down
You can’t hide
You can’t hide from me

#3

BURNOUT

My head is making me insane
I hate these pills in every way
This job just got me on my knees
I hope that some day I’ll be free
My head is system overload
I’m breaking my back to get some dough
Got to get out of here right now
This life I’m living is a lie

You’ve gone too far

I‘ve got this feeling
that I’ll soon break down
They say that you choose the way
you live your life
Change is the only way that you’ll succeed
Burned out, burned out again

One day you’re in, one day you’re out
The risk is there you have to fight
The ice you’re walking on is thin
In the end you just don’t win
Take me away to some other place
Somewhere that no one knows my face
Silent whispers in your head
If you don’t stop you will be dead

I‘ve got this feeling
that I’ll soon break down
They say that you choose the way
you live your life
Change is the only way that you’ll succeed
Burned out, burned out again

You’ve gone too far
Burnout's not far
You’ve got to live your life

SKIES ARE BLUE

I was addicted and confused
I’m so tired of being used
Accepted things as they were
No one listening no one there

But then I let it go

I can see the skies are blue
I can feel the sun again

The cross was always mine to bear
Then I noticed there’s no one there

There were problems in my life
But then I understood
Then I let it go

I can see the skies are blue
I can feel the sun again
I can see the skies are blue
I can feel the sun again

There were problems in my life
I was addicted and confused
I’m so tired of being used

I can see the skies are blue
I can feel the sun again
I can see the skies are blue
I can feel the sun again

TRAPPED

In a cage I was born
In shivering pain
No one to cry to
In the pouring rain
Butchered to death
My neighbours were skinned
Still alive in a trailer, naked’n sting

Naked'n sting
Naked'n sting

What have you done, can’t they see

Trapped in cage, I want to get out
My end is near
I crave for the light
My mama’s gone and
so is my dad
They took them away
Did they do something bad

What have you done
Can’t they see
What have they done
Can’t they see
What it is to be me

Trapped in cage, I want to get out
Still alive in a trailer, naked’n sting
My mother is gone and
And so is my dad

What have you done
Can’t they see
What have they done
Can’t they see
What it is to be me

Can’t you see
What it is to be me

CHOCOLATE FUDGE

I’m sorry
Everything turned out this way
The pain
The sorrow
It burned me up inside

When I sit by myself
I wish that I could say to you

Do you remember when
We danced all night
in the moonlight, you and I
Do you remember when
We drank all the wine and
made love in the sun

I wish that you're allright
I hope you're doing fine
My clothes beside me
Still has the scent of you

When I sit by myself
I wish that I could say to you

Do you remember when
We danced all night
in the moonlight, you and I
Do you remember when
We drank all the wine and
made love in the sun
You and I in the sun

Now the times are gone
And I'm moving on
I'm feeling fine
'cause I feel free
At last I can see
At last I can see

CONTROL

Smash his head into the wall
Let him bleed let him moan
Aim your gun at the man
Let him know it’s time to pay

We are all under orders here
We won’t fail to do our duty no no no

Far away in distant lands
My face is sore from all the sand
Petrol fumes in the air
I close my eyes
In an instant he was gone

Crush your fist into the jaw
Let him bleed let him fall
Chase them down from everywhere
Every stone must be turned

We are all under orders here
We won’t fail to do our duty no no no

Far away in distant lands
My face is sore from all the sand
Petrol fumes in the air
I close my eyes

We won’t fail to do our duty no no no

Far away in distant lands
My face is sore from all the sand
Petrol fumes in the air
I close my eyes

PINING AWAY

Smoothly your hands filter sand
Time passes by but no one understands
Suicide fantasies take hold of you
Aren't you fed up with those lies
that became true

That night you stole the keys and
slipped into to the attic

No more rivals no more pain
No more confusion
No more shame anymore
Betrayed by your best friend
She was unable to help
The rich to be humble

That night you stole the keys and
slipped into the attic
That night you took the pills and
faded into eternity

The last supper
A cocktail of tranquilizers and cola
The final prayer
A voice in childhood surroundings
Had there been any other remedy?

That night you stole the keys and
slipped into the attic
That night you took the pills and
faded into eternity

Who could have saved you from pining away?
Who could have saved you from slipping away?
Who could save you?

CONFLICT

Intense eruption, poisoned atmosphere
This confusion reflects on her life
False confession, social skills prevail
Pointing fingers aim the wrong way

I can still remember those days
Like it was yesterday

I still remember

Communication, answers are left unsaid
Interests gone to fix what is wrong
Deep frustration, forcing yourself to smile
When bitterness is kept up inside

I can still remember those days
Like it was yesterday
I can still feel the pain
Like it was yesterday

I can still remember those days
Like it was yesterday

I still remember
I can still feel the pain
Like it was yesterday

I still remember
Like it was yesterday

LEAVE

Your twisted mind’s illusion
No more pleasant words to say
You’re filled with angst, confusion
The light of hope has faded away

Your voice is sharp, annoying
When it enters pain reveals itself
Your soul is damp and moulding
No more cures will fix your needs

There's nothing to say, anymore
Your explanation has no meaning
No more hope, no more pretending
Your time is up get the fuck out and leave

Your voice is sharp, annoying
When it enters pain reveals itself
Your soul is damp and moulding
No more cures will fix your needs

There is nothing to say, anymore
Your explanation has no meaning
No more hope, no more pretending
Your time is up get the fuck out and leave

Get away from me…

There's nothing to say, anymore
There’s no more your sick complaining
I’ve had enough of you
Just pack your things and leave
There’s something about you
That I don’t like anymore
Just pack your things and leave
