01. Dreamstate Emergency

I have not slept for many days
Yet I have dreamt of the unseen
Now I have found this place in myself
I have dreamt of no control

And then I will see what the hate it can take
I will stand up to see what I really can be
I'll cry if I need to but I'll proceed to
A state of hate and to be a superior me

I have dreamt of this for so long
I feel my inner self will grow strong

And so I will break down, I'm blind to your ideas
I don't want to be me, I can't stand the pain
And then I will see what the hate it can take
I will stand up to see what I really can be

I have dreamt of this for so long
I feel my inner self will grow strong
If I can only be what they want
I'm me, exploding into history

I dream of leaving this
Kill this and never come back
Never fuckin' return

I dream of me - Kill this, my dream
I dream of me - Kill this, my dream
I dream of me - Kill this, my dream
I dream of me

I have not slept for many days
Yet I have dreamt of the unseen
Now I have found this place in myself
I have dreamt of no control

And then I will see what the hate it can take
I will stand up to see what I really can be
I'll cry if I need to but I'll proceed to
A state of hate and to be a vision of me

I have dreamt of this for so long
I feel my inner self will grow strong
If I can only be what they want
I'm me, exploding into history

02. Door 2.12

You can tell it to my face
But I will never know what you mean
Silence triggers the adrenaline
Some things are never meant to be seen

Steel plate nailed into the corner
Be sure that people know what it means
The room is empty yet so full of lives
Not everything is what it seems

Hesitating or speeding
It's all just a bleeding way to be
Heading down the same old road
That'll lead you to the place I see

I've been there

Do you see? - Do you see me?
Do you see what I mean?
Be sure that...

The sun never shines behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold behind door 2.12

Eyes closed, everything's at ease,
I get to go where no one goes when alive
If you'd seen the things I've seen
You'd know that there's no way to survive

The sun never shines behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind behind door 2.12
I feel so cold behind door 2.12

Do you see? - Do you see me?
Do you see what I mean?

The sun never shines behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind behind door 2.12
I feel so cold behind door 2.12

03. Illuminate

Into the fire again (I'll light it up)
Deadly with venom and sin (Your time is up)
I'll poison your mind (You'll poison yourself)
With things you can't find (No, you can't find)
I can't see frustration within me and...

You're on your knees again (And so are you)
Want to escape my hand (I'll take you down)
I rule your every move (No, I rule you)
You're tempted by groove (And you by sound)
I really need this, I'm...

Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive

Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive

You're bleeding cuz of me (You're bleeding yourself)
You'll pay the devils fee (But the devil is me)
The veins in my arm (And the veins in mine)
Are on overload (They will explode)
I will explode, I'm...

Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive

Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive

So many times I've taken the wrong road
And still I control you
The essence of revenge is not in you
It's in me and I don't need it

I swear if I go down I'll take you with me
There's a blow right to your face, what a violent entry
Can you feel me in your head?
I know what you need, you need my pain
And everything you lose I seem to gain
I'll take it all

I will explode, I hurt you
Cuz I really need this, I'm...

Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive

Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive

04. Deathbox

I'm in a state of despair
Nothing seems to fit my mind
And although I can't be there
I still know that there's a place
For someone just like me
Will I ever wake up
Wake up to see the box I'm in
Will I ever stand up
I'm standing on the edge of inability

And though I'm trying it still penetrates my body
All these demons that I carry deep inside
The changing faces forces me to leave the traces
Of the stranger things that are growing in my mind

Oh I know that I have
Done this once or twice before
The names are still a blur
I'm arrogantly close to falling of the edge
I know I'm not insane
Though my head hurts on the inside
The images disturb me
I know I'm not insane, I'm not what they call me

They're no good - still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
The blood just paints my world
They're no good - still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
They're forcing my actions upon my deathbox

And though I'm trying it still penetrates my body
All these demons that I carry deep inside
The changing faces forces me to leave the traces
Of the stranger things that are growing in my mind

Now will I ever wake up
Wake up to see the box I'm in
Will I ever stand up
I'm standing on the edge of inability
Now is this a failure
My project kill is right awake
I'm all burned out from pressure
My thoughts have brought me to my knees
Awake in pain

They're no good - still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
The blood just paints my world
They're no good - still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
They're forcing my actions upon my deathbox

05. Sane vs. Normal

Hello Mr. Richway, welcome to the sunset hotel
Thank you, I'll fuckin' rape and kill a girl to quote myself
Needless to say that this is a habit
"I take it cuz I can't have it"
The bloody moves to grooves that are the dance of death
Skin to barbed wire in a final breath

I made the mistakes I couldn't afford to make
Hell, they even knocked on my door
Because they found a girl dead in a lake
They won't catch me again
I've grown beyond my time and now...

I moved beyond recognition
I clearly lost count, an escalation of schism
Still not sure why I do this
An overhelming urge to reach a state of bliss?
I got it all pinned down and...

The hammer hit the nail
But I can't let them live
It's all to late for me

It's all to late for me
I hear them begging me
But I can't let them live
I can't let them live

Spill the blood and hide the bodies
Dead girls don't tell of my done deeds
Hell, they'll do it for money
I'll do them for free. I'm Mr. Richway
"Don't give a fuck what the bitch say"
I told you I got it all pinned down and now...

The hammer hit the nail
But I can't let them live
It's all to late for me

It's all to late for me
I hear them begging me
But I can't let them live

It's all to late for me
I hear them begging me
But I can't let them live
I can't let them live

06. Jack Vegas

Flash my face no intro needed
My self-awareness has not been mistreated
The times the fire on a blackened sky
I won't break my in a selfish try just to...

Create my ideal picture
Sex is free and my check's nine figures
The gold on my teeth draw the attention
Away from my suit, pure velvet body suspension

You know who I am

Jack's the name, style in a frame
My ego is fit and my account the same
Shelby GT, black eyes behind shades
I get out of bed as the daylight fades on me

I will knock you out - by sheer appearance
Blinded by grace - you know me
Sharpened moves - to clear interference
You know my face - yeah you know me

You know
I feel your eyes on me; I know you're watching me
Who I am
I know it's hard to say, want to be me in every way

There's nothing wrong with the things I do
I only do them because you want me to
Ignorant, the things I do you despise
What you don't understand, I'm beyond life and you

I will knock you out - by sheer appearance
Blinded by grace - you know me
Sharpened moves - to clear interference
You know my face - yeah you know me

07. Mindsaver

Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me?

Show me my options that requires decision
In an infinite line of reactions and visions
My good, my bad, my excellent choice
So innocent, my angry voice
The view of life all clean from noise
My eyes lie

And when we're in the locomotive
I don't know what to do
'Cause I still know that I can't change
The lies that turn into truth
A part of you, a part of me
I don't know what to do
To realize the depth of life, it's just that...

A flaming desire for an innocent lust
Can change a lifetime in a second of trust
Can change the future, it'll turn out the light
We'll never know if this was right
My eyes lie

Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me?
From what's inside of me, what's inside of me?

It'll drive you mad if you start to think that
The ones you turned would maybe never have met
The love of their life in a life that they hate
The drunkdriver that decided their fate

The dad of their child who's not so great
The emergency call, too late
Eyes that meet and then look away
Gives birth to the thoughts of this inner decay

So action is taking after dreams that are breaking
Are turning their back to a mind that was faking
The things we do today
Will make tomorrow turn a different way
Completely blank, nothing to say
My eyes lie

Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me?

Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me?
From what's inside of me

08. Overdose In The Hall Of Fame

I don't need to be like you
Cause this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow

Sunrise as my mind it sets
On finding ways to block that river
It flows with the blood that is life
I got my mind made up, I shiver

Electroshock these thoughts right through my brain
An obsession I can't kill

I don't want to kill my mind, it breathes
It feeds, I know it's doing well
The sacrifice will come soon enough
There's no evil underneath here

I don't need to be anything like you (like you)
'Cause this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see (you see)
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow

Unlike things that I control
I don't want to kill my feelings
I know you want me to get in line
And submit to your intentions

I don't need to be anything like you (like you)
'Cause this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see (you see)
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow

I don't need to be anything like you
'Cause this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow

09. The Silver Drop

Penetrate my will to speak
This feeling just won't go away
Straight line through my soul
And feel my inability to stop this today

Hardline the drug of affection
At least I know how to hurt it to perfection
The silver drop gets under my skin, my skin

I wake up - now I'm alone again
I've been here - I didn't like it then
I bleed cuz - this is what I am
My last shot - now make me twice the man
This is what I am

And I know my time will come
My time to cross the nation
With screams of insane heresy
I label minds in frustration

Come on and lead me into the light
Twenty reasons to guide me
I need a reason to stand up and fight
Need to believe what I see

The stars are shining on me tonight
I need my wishes to come true
But though the cure I need is in sight
I'll never make it through

I wake up - now I'm alone again
I've been here - I didn't like it then
I bleed cuz - this is what I am
My last shot - now make me twice the man
This is what I am
This is what I am

Reason is only a matter of opinion
Control is only an illusion to spit on
Bring my coffee, a truth to lean on
My silence is bought and my beliefs are all gone

Innocent as a new born child
No need to point your fingers
I never did the things you say
I never hurt no one in anyway so...

Come on and lead me into the light
Twenty reasons to guide me
I need a reason to stand up and fight
Need to believe what I see

The stars are shining on me tonight
I need my wishes to come true
But though the cure I need is in sight
I'll never make it through

I wake up - now I'm alone again
I've been here - I didn't like it then
I bleed cuz - this is what I am
My last shot - now make me twice the man

And I know that they don't want me
And I see that it's beyond me
And I know that they don't want me
And I see that it's beyond me

I wake up - now I'm alone again
I've been here - I didn't like it then
I bleed cuz - this is what I am
My last shot - now make me twice the man

10. Wild Boys

Wild boys
Wild boys
Wild boys

The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise

Wild boys fallen far from glory

Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You're dancing in the rain

Wild boys wonder where is glory

Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
