Nightmare (Now your nightmare comes to life) Dragged ya down below, Down to the Devil's show, To be his guest forever, (Peace of mind is less than never)! Hate to twist your mind, But God ain't on your side, An old acquaintance severed, (Burn the world, your last endeavor)! Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air, 'cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal). So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head, You're now a slave until the end of time here, Nothing stops the madness turning, Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger! You should have known, the price of evil, And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah Oh, it's your fuckin' nightmare! (While your nightmare comes to life)

Can't wake up and sweat, 'cause it ain't over yet, Still dancing with your demons, (Victim of your own creation)! Beyond the will to fight, Where all that's wrong is right, Where hate don't need a reason, (Loathing self-assassination)! You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight, and now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel). So sedated as they medicate your brain and while you slowly go insane the tell ya: "Given with the best intentions, help you with your complications!" You should have known the price of evil, And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah. No one to call, Everybody to fear, Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah. Oh, it's your fuckin' nightmare, ha-ha-ha-ha! Fight (fight), Not to fail (fail), Not to fall (fall), Or you'll end up like the others. Die (die), Die again (die), Drenched in sin (sin), With no respect for another. Down (Down), Feel the fire (fire), Feel the hate (hate), Your pain is what we desire. Lost (lost), Hit the wall (wall), Watch you crawl (crawl), Such a replaceable liar.

And I know you hear their voices (calling from above), And I know they may seem real (these signals of love), But our life's made up of choices (some without appeal), They took for granted your soul, and it's ours now to steal (As your nightmare comes to life)! You should have known the price of evil, And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah. No one to call, Everybody to fear, Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah... Oh, it's your fuckin' nightmare! 2. Welcome To The Family Hey kid, do I have your attention? I know the way you've been living (Life's so reckless, tragedy, endless) Welcome to the family Hey, theres something missing Only time will alter your vision Never in question, lethal injection Welcome to the family Not long ago you'd find the answers we're so crystal clear Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear Can you look at yourself now?Can you look at yourself? You can't win this fight! And in a way it seems there's no-one to call when our thoughts are so numb And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside We all have answers to find But you can't win this fight! Hey, I have to question What's with the violent aggression? Details blurry, lost him too early Welcome to the family

Hey, why won't you listen? Can't help the people you're missing It's been done, a casualty re-run Welcome to the family I try and help you with the things that can't be justified I need to warn you There is no way to rationalize So have you figured it out now? So have you figured out? You can't win this fight! And in a way it seems there's no-one to call when our thoughts are so numb And our feellings aren't sure We all have emptiness inside We all have answers to find But you can't win this fight! Gunning for you And all mankind I've lost my mind Psychotic Rabid dementia I won't be fine I see Youre a king whos been dethroned Cast out In a world youve never known Stand down Place your weapons by your side Its our war in the end well surely lose But that's alright So have you figured out now? So have you figured out? And, in a way it seems there's no-one to call when our thoughts are so numb

And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside We all have answers to find But you can't win this fight! Deep inside Where nothings fine I've lost my mind You're not invited So step aside I've lost my Deep inside Where nothings fine I've lost my mind You're not invited So step aside I've lost my 3. Danger Line My sixteen locked and loaded All fear has been avoided You say the words and my weapon is drawn This one could be my last time Some people call it war crime I may be staring down a lethal site... to die Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole (Leaving my fear on the danger line) Suffering a man should never know (Leaving my faith on the danger line) I do this for my family My daughter loves her daddy Too many talk down on things they don't know With colors never faded Reckless and unabated They may take me but never take us all, I'll crawl Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole (Leaving my fear on the danger line)

Suffering a man should never know (Leaving my faith on the danger line) I know what you're thinking I've been there before So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away So think of the times at home (life without a care) Now I find myself in my own blood The damage done is far beyond repair I never put my faith in up above But now, I'm hoping someone's there I never meant to leave this world alone I never meant to hurt the ones who cared And all this time I thought we'd just grow old You know, no one said it's fair Tell my baby girl that it's alright I've sung my last song today Remind the lord to leave his light on for me I'm free 4. Buried Alive Take the time just to listen When the voices screaming are much too loud Take a look in the distance Try and see it all Chances are that you might find That we share a common discomfort now I feel I'm walking a fine line Tell me only if it's real Still I'm on my way (On and on it goes) Vacant hope to take Hey I can't live in here for another day Darkness has kept the light concealed Grim as ever

Hold on to faith as I dig another grave Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel Real as ever And it seems I've been buried alive I walked the fields through the fire Taking steps until I found solid ground Followed dreams reaching higher Couldn't survive the fall Much has changed since the last time And I feel a little less certain now You know i jumped at the first sign Tell me only if its real Memories seems to fade (On and on it goes) Wash my view away Hey I can't live in here for another day Darkness has kept the light concealed Grim as ever Hold on to faith as I dig another grave Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel Real as ever And I'm chained like a slave Trapped in the dark Slammed all the locks Death calls my name and its seems I've been buried alive Take you down now Burn it all out Throw you all around Get your fucking HANDS OFF ME Whats it feel like? Took the wrong route Watch it fall apart Now your knockin' AT THE WRONG GATE For you to pay the toll A price for you alone

The only deal you'll find I'll gladly take your soul While it seems sick Sober up quick Psycho lunatic Crushing you with HANDS OF FAITH Shame to find out When it's too late But you're all the same Trapped inside INFERNO AWAITS Evil thoughts can hide I'll help release the mind I'll peel away the skin Release the dark within This is now your life Strike you from the light This is now your life Die buried alive This is now your life (Whats it feel like?) Strike you from the light This is now your life (Whats it feel like?) Die buried alive (I'll gladly take your soul) This is now your life Die buried alive 5. Natural Born Killer Natural Born Killer One snap for the dieing One click to end the day Another story with a mangled scene It couldn't happen any other way You wanna talk about it?

I'm begging you to walk in my shoes any time Watch the clock 'til you unwind You wanna cry about it? It's making me consider that I lost my mind The way I see, you must be blind So this is the world you left behind This is the guilt that consumes you So die alone This is the one thing that I won't do So say your prayers 'Cause I ain't leaving here without you Can't bribe me with money Can't shower me with shame Another killer from a broken home Until you covered me with manic fame You wanna know about it? Well I'm gonna be fucking with you every time Story broken, you're behind And when you ask about it? You can rest assured I'll give you my best side Seem we all have friends to find So this is the hate I've been born to Full are the tales of the untrue So die alone This is the one thing that I won't do So say your prayers 'Cause I ain't leaving here without you And I'm waiting Waiting for the days to slowly pass me by (and all the promises I'll find) No hesitating, you've pulled the trigger now your story's left behind (I know you want to see me cry) Lock my soul you won't survive So die alone This is the one thing that I won't do So say your prayers 'Cause I ain't leaving here without you To die unknown Would crush the fish lens we all see through To kill the glare

Expose the ugliness we hold true

6. So Far Away
Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A light that healed a broken heart with all that it could Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could Will you stay? Will you stay away forever? How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book its burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Plans of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible The truth is so cold A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid to rest Now and then I try to find a place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay awake forever How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book its burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Sleep tight, I'm not afraid The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live eternally How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book its burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away I love you You were ready The pain is strong and urges rise But I'll see you When it lets me Your pain is gone, your hands untied So far away And I need you to know So far away And I need you to Need you to know

7. God Hates Us TOTAL NIGHTMARE! TOTAL NIGHTMARE! You wanna hear my side? You need drown to know.. With all the times it hurt me to fuck you I built a wall, with your blood to show! GOD SAVE US! GOD SAVE US ALL! GOD HATES US! GOD HATES US ALL! TOTAL NIGHTMARE! TOTAL NIGHTMARE! Nothing to heal, no one to break Pills had a role, now there's nothing to take Nothing to trust, no one to fake!

TOTAL NIGHTMARE! 8. Victim House full of roses

A letter on the stairs A tape full of messages for anyone who cares Collage of broken words and stories full of tears Remembering your life 'cause we wish that you were here Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone Realize it's not okay it's the end of all you've known Time keeps passing by but it seems I'm frozen still Scars are left behind but some too deep to feel And some say this can't be real And I've lost my power to feel, tonight We're all just victims of a crime When all's gone and can't be regained We can't seem to shelter the pain, inside We're all just victims of a crime Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go Ask questions to myself 'bout the things I'll never know What's left to find 'cause I need a little more I need a little time can we even up the score? And some say this can't be real And I've lost my power to feel, tonight We're all just victims of a crime When all's gone and can't be regained We can't seem to shelter the pain, inside We're all just victims of a crime And nothing lasts forever For all good things it's true I'd rather trade it all While somehow saving you And it must have been the season That threw us out of line

Once i stood so tall Now I'm searching for a sign So don't need your salvation With promises unkind And all the speculation Save it for another time 'cause we all need a reason A reason just to stay Some just can't be bothered To stick around another day And some say this can't be real And I've lost my power to feel, tonight We've all been victims of a crime When all is gone and can't be regained We can't seem to shelter the pain inside (oh) We've all been victims of a crime Victims of a crime Living with this crime I'm missing you [x4] 9. Tonight The World Dies Lost the meaning of our stay Learn to live another day Doubt the choices that we've made I know that we can't hide our shame It's only in disguise Drowning in our own debris Fool of thought as through we're free Close our own eyes so we can see The depth of all we need to be If only in my eyes I don't mind (Read the writing on the wall) Mother cries (Tortured voices as we crawl) Find me on my better days To lose it once again In a way

So try to wonder why you can And take the time to understand As long as I can touch your face You know I'll never leave this place If only in my mind I don't mind (Read the writing on the wall) Mother cries (Tortured voices as we crawl) Find me on my better days To lose it once again But I seem to find out better ways To consciously pretend Silence, all I want to say With tendencies to run away I'll run away With you tonight Launder all my sins away And just like that mistakes are made You know Tonight the world dieI don't mind (Read the writing on the wall) Mother cries (Tortured voices as we crawl) Find me on my better days To lose it once again But I seem to find out better ways To consciously pretend 10. Fiction Now I think I understand How this world can overcome a man Like a friend we saw it through In the end I gave my life for you

Gave you all I had to give Found a place for me to rest my head While I may be hard to find Heard there's peace just on the other side Not that I could Not that I would Let it burn Under my skin Let it burn Left this life to set me free Took a piece of you inside of me All this hurt can finally fade Promise me you'll never feel afraid Not that I could Not that I would Let it burn Under my skin Let it burn I hope it's worth it, here on the highway, yeah I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you So tell everybody, the ones who walks beside me, yeah I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight I hope it's worth it, what's left behind me, yeah I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight So tell everybody, the ones who walks beside me, yeah I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight 11. Save Me (They all know! They all know!) Sorry, did I wake your dreams? Some questions run to deep We only, only wake up when we sleep

Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we'd find Lost our way tonight Is it something we said? Is it something we said to them? Is it something we said? [Chorus:] (Save me) Trapped in a vile world (Save me) Where the end game's all the same as every other We're only here to die (Save me) Losing my only dream (Save me) I can use some guiding light, some place to go If you hear me, let me know (They all know! They all know!) Ever since the day you left my fate's been set unknown How many years to walk this path alone? So much to see tonight, so why do you close your eyes? Why can't I shut mine? Is it something we did? Is it something we did to them? Is it something we did? [Chorus] If you hear me, let me know Help me find my way I said, help me find my way, No pulse inside of me, stone cold lips and heresy All lies and to a degree, losing who I wanna be Find out, right now

He may be out of his mind But some day you will find, That sanity has left us all blind And dragged us all behind, A moment seen through those eyes Crystal blue disguise, They say that all beauty must die I say it just moves on If you'd only open your mind, then some day you will find Insanity left us behind and walked right through the door I can see the pictures clear as yesterday, pictures of my own I can hear the voices begging you to stay, but know you're not alone. [Chorus] If you hear me, let me know Tonight we all die young [6x] Tonight we all die Tonight we all die young! 12. Lost It All [Bonus track] Run away I'm living with a hole inside A piece of me that I have yet to find The edge of reason lies uneven Turn me off, feel the blood so cold! Like a product that was bought in salt Asking me for the impossible! [Chorus:] I ain't waiting for a miracle I ain't waiting for the world to change Under my skin lives the reason Under my armor I lost it all!

No more pain No savior made of our design Fool me before I tell ya not this time Rape my body, lost my vision, lost my mind I had to let it go! Another day living irrational Another day inside this dying soul! [Chorus] There's something in your eyes A part of me that I recognize I want to let you know We'd be there if we could and it's alright You taught me how to feel It's no wonder I'd do anything Tell me why'd you have to go? With the ones that come lost are the best I know At times, it seems that we've lost it all! Burn it all Burn it to the fucking ground Believe the words that I don't want me around Life with vision, indecision World collision and heads will roll With nothing left except the pain to show Mental imagery on the floor! [Chorus]
