Dead Before My Eyes

War Inside My Head

Give The Devil His Due

June 27

Spineless creatures

Dead Before My Eyes

No matter what you told them,

No matter what you say

You were the biggest wretch to ever cross my way

It doesn’t make a difference, when will you realize?

Even if you try harder, you’re dead before my eyes

And if you ever cross my path, just walk away

Because I had more than enough, it’s time to pay

‘Cause you are nothing but a faded dream

A nightmare I have buried deep within

Despite the lies, the pain, the hatred you have spread

You know it well, without me you are dead

Continue spreading rumors,

A little child's play

But you can never face me no, you’re too scared anyway

You think that you can fool me? Manipulate the crowd?

Everyone who has met you, they know what you're about.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

And there’s nothing left to say, anyway

No, there is nothing you can do, but fade away

‘Cause you are nothing but a faded dream

A nightmare I have buried deep within

Despite the lies, the pain, the hatred you have spread

You know it well, without me you are dead

‘Cause you are nothing but a faded dream

A nightmare I have buried deep within

Despite the lies, the pain, the hatred you have spread

You know it well, without me you are dead

No, you are nothing but a faded dream

A nightmare I have buried deep within

Despite the lies, the pain, the hatred you have spread

You know it well, without me you are dead

 

War Inside My Head

I built myself a cage to lock up all my feelings

Stalling, destroying, time wasting is my sin

I handed out my days to you, my only precious gift 

Now I forgot…

 

…All that I know

My insides are bleeding

Why can’t you see? 

I am hanging by a thread 

Nobody can save me now

From the war inside my head 

 

Nobody can save me now

From the war inside my head 

 

The tide is coming in to wash it all away

Screaming my lungs out but you still can’t hear my pain

A memory of all the things that could have been

The void within 

 

Lady Lazarus broke her chains and left the building  

Her words are bleeding one by one inside my mind 

The cold white light plays on repeat throughout this evening

The poet’s dead

 

I can’t escape

My insides are bleeding

Why can’t you see? 

I am hanging by a thread 

Nobody can save me now

From the war inside my head 

 

Nobody can save me now

From the war inside my head 

 

I can’t escape

My insides are bleeding

Why can’t you see? 

I am hanging by a thread 

Nobody can save me now

From the war inside my head 

 

Nobody can save me now

From the war inside my head

 

Give The Devil His Due

We are ever striving after what is forbidden


Outside a storm was brewing, gleaming light of dawn
I Was strumming my guitar when I heard pounding on the door

I asked who’s that there knocking, you disturb my daybreak calm!

He said you know exactly who I am and why I’ve come!

I’ve heard you countless times whispering my name
So it was time for me to come and set your soul aflame

I know all your desires, your every darkest wish
I’m sure you’ll like it when I dive Inside your mind’s abyss


Oh if you knew, what’s in store for you
yeah if you knew, you’d give the devil his due


I’ve met many stubborn bitches but no-one quite like you
You’re dead inside but I don’t mind, I’ll make you bend askew

I said -excuse me sir-, I like your style but I didn’t catch your name
He answered it’s the one you call when you need someone to blame

He poured a glass of whiskey, slowly moving close
Girl I got that magic dust to make your head explode

He licked his lips and muttered “we’re off to a good start
You see, it’s not so hard to dance with Satan on your back”


Close your eyes now child and give yourself to me
It’s time to realise your wildest fantasy
Come closer, don’t you fear I’ll make you scream my name

It’s all your fault my dear, you’ve only got your self to blame

You’ve got yourself to blame
blame

Oh if you knew, what’s in store for you
yeah if you knew, you’d give the devil his due

Oh if you knew, what’s in store for you
yeah if you knew, you’d give the devil his due

June 27

June 27, I’m alive 

Sipping on this drink of wine 

Wasted till I'm 35, I forgot to breathe 

Sitting in this empty room 

Wasting every afternoon 

But your picture on the wall 

Is making me believe

Always searching never right 

Every step takes me behind

I'm a shadow of this world
I did not choose to be in 

June 27, I’m alive
Sipping on this drink of wine, 

Wasted till I'm 35
I forgot to breathe 

And all, all I ever wanted was you
No I didn’t think it through
All, all I ever wanted was you
There’s nothing more to say to...(you) 

June 28 I’m still awake
How many blows can your heart take 

Can’t drown the sorrow, one more line 

to throw my mind to waste 

Bloodshot eyes, restless mind

 Daffodils blooming but I am blind 

The world around me painted black 

The walls are closing in 

June 29 I’m still alive
but I can’t get off this crash dive 

My head is spinning, dashing deep 

I’m on a train derailed 

Always searching never right 

every step takes me behind 

i'm a shadow of this world
I did not choose to be in


And all, all I ever wanted was you 

No I didn’t think it through
All, all I ever wanted was you 

There’s nothing more to say to you 


And all, all I ever wanted was you 

No I didn’t think it through
All, all I ever wanted was you 

There’s one last thing to say now... 


Medicated, complicated, everything collides

 Devastated, fornicated, get out of my mind

The only thing I wanna do, is eighty six, get rid of you
The thoughts, the pain that made me insane, 

The strength you always used to feign

And deep inside my wicked mind
Wish I’d go first, leave you behind
If you could feel the way I do

Erase the end of line you drew.

 

Spineless Creatures

In our world, there will be no emotions 

except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. 

The sex instinct will be eradicated. 

We shall abolish the orgasm. 

There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the Party.

 

Spineless creatures down the hall

afraid to live, afraid to love

Wake up work, sleep and repeat

you are marching to the beat


Spineless creatures down the hall

please stop knocking on my door

I can’t give you what you need

Alone I suffer, Alone I bleed


Sentiments are ostracized

to this land far far away

where your souls are locked

banging walls, wanting to play


Spineless creatures down the hall

I can’t fuck your empty core

You can’t give me what I need

I won’t let you supersede


Nothing matters anymore

getting crushed and ask for more

out of sight is out of mind

we are slowly turning blind


Nothing matters any more

only numbers , paper whore

if you would die today

which part of you will stay?


Devoid of substance, sick from love

TV on , cerebrum off

All imprisoned without chains

Lit up screens and shit for brains


Cogs of the control machine

the more you get the more you give

Gilded cages glorified

You won’t stop until you die


Programmed zombies everywhere

vacant stares without a care

“to thine own self be true”

Will I end up one of you?


Nothing matters anymore

we are rotting to the core

there’s no way for us to thrive

when we barely feel alive


Nothing matters any more

pop the pill you so abhor

I killed my soul today

please make it go away


Spineless creatures…

Spineless creatures…

Spineless creatures…

Spineless creatures…
