Lacuna Coil - Delirium lyrics



Tracks



01. The House Of Shame

Run!
Rise!

Burn me
Reducing the stigma
Born to live in this house of shame

While I dig the grave
On my path to find faith
You weren't there
While I was dying

You're the reason I'm feeling so deranged
I will stay here and haunt you forever

Why always staring into the light?
If I don't hide inside the darkness
You'll be compromised

But sometimes
You will fly with me again
Without falling

Rise!
Read my words
Run!
Mark my words

I'm bedridden here
Locked outside of my faith
Incurable, captured by time

You're the reason I'm feeling so deranged
I will stay here and haunt you forever

Why always staring into the light?
If I don't hide inside the darkness
You'll be compromised

But sometimes
You will fly with me again
Without falling

I told you to leave me alone

Take my soul

Sometimes
You will find me there again
Without mourning

Sometimes
You will fly with me again
Without falling

Rise!
Read my words
Run!
Mark my words

02. Broken Things

Now sunk in the horizon
We'll watch the hours go by
Fall and then arise again
I hear the darkness breathe
Sunk into the horizon
Fall down
Let those tears come down
Let them fade away
Let them burn across your face
As you keep smiling inside
You cannot be afraid of your destiny
All the walls you've built around
Without me right by your side

One two three
The count of your lies
I can see right through your eyes
Read my lips
I cannot fix
All the broken things inside my mind
One two three breaking free
Turn another page and run away
Sick sick sick
No more tricks
Think about the mess you left behind

As the sun comes down
Over your regrets
It takes time to heal the pain
But from the scars we will learn
We've been trying so hard
But it was too late
Now you shut the door behind
I won't be right by your side

03. Delirium

I can't surrender
I cannot breathe
And I'm still going under
It's hard to realize
It's getting closer
I fear this struggle
Is wasting me from inside

Delirium

Inside obsession
Is growing faster
There's no medication
It's hard to realize
Lost in confusion
I hear the silence
Is screaming aloud inside

Delirium

Enclosed in a shrine
Locked away inside my mind
I walk in the darkness and neon lights
Delirium will take me away

04. Blood, Tears, Dust

Do you remember my friend
When I was frozen and dead inside?
A piece of nothing in this world
Till I heard she said

Three nights of Hell
Immortality spell
Light up the skies
Make it through the darkness

Can you believe this, my friend?
I was empty and broken inside
She came to save me from the storm

Blood
Tears
Dust
Take my blood
Tears
Dust

Time belongs to you and I
There's nowhere else
I wished I could be
Mountains high
Dark river flows
The wind will blow
Our fire will burn
Again

05. Downfall

Let the light get into the room
So I can see your face
You don't need to hurry
You can stay here some more
As I just want to talk
I know it sounds so strange
I feel it's hard to give a sense to everything

When I'm down
It's hard to walk away
'Cause nothing seem to change
The sun will never heal the rain

Life goes on and I bury another day
(I feel so empty now)
As grief and rage and fear rise up at once
(Alone in the maze where I'm lost)
Keep holding my hand
I promise I won't shed a tear
(Look at me)
But please never let me go
I don't know what else to do
(It's hurting so much inside)

When I'm down
It's hard to see your face
While all things seem to fade
The sun will never heal the rain

Here we go again
I can't take it anymore
Another drink alone
Until my life gets numb
We used to be so close
Now we are so far apart
I wish I could let go
But you are forever gone

06. Take Me Home

Big train down the track
Tick-tock
Coming back
It's time
Jump on board
There is room for many more

Take me for a ride
So many pieces
A shattered life
I try to put together everything
So many faces I have to wear
Sick of everything I have to fight

Sit with me
I'll take you for a ride
Tick-tock time
It will be so fine
Stay with me
I'll take you for a ride
Tick-tock time
We will be alright

I can't find the words to say
And what to do
It's like I've lost control of everything
A tragic ride
A state of mind
Sick of everything I have to fight
Sick of everything but I still fight
I don't give up where I stand in life
There is nothing left on the other side
I save myself giving up on the lies
Take me for a ride
Take me home

07. You Love Me 'Cause I Hate You

I'm back in my house
And you're still sitting down
The crimson couch
Has never felt so comfortable
And the room is so cold
The tape on your mouth
Is slowing your breath down
The rope is still tight
The tension becomes so tangible
So unbearable

You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)

I'm sorry if I crossed the line
I know I've lost it but
You are always on my mind
Obsessed with you and me
To love is harder than you think
I'm sorry if I raise my voice
I never meant to hurt
You but I had no choice
Don't ever lie to me
'Cause I'm smarter than you think
There's no running away
There's no guilt and no shame
I've crossed the line
Is this the end?
There's no running away
Even if you're afraid
I'll make you mine
Until the end

08. Ghost In The Mist

Will not get out of my face
Locked here I cannot escape
It's my life
What the hell is going on
'Cause everything feels like it's fading
Every day seems like it was the day before
And I can't take it
I just want to erase the things I hate
And all the faces I see right in my face again and again
All I've got for this is nothing but hate right in my face
Feeding my rage all I've got for this nothing but hate

I'm a ghost in the mist (it's my life)
My life slips away
I wander unseen (compromise)
I don't make any sound
I'm lost in the mist (going blind)
No one showed me the way
Locked in by my fears (paralyzed)
With my knees on the ground

Every day it feels like is so predictable
And I can't change it
I just want to break these habits
Take control of this confusion
Will not get out of my face
Locked here I cannot escape
Can't get you out of my face
What can I do now?
Locked here I cannot escape
What have you done now?
I will not forgive
You can't get it out of me
So what have you done now?
Locked here I cannot escape
What have you done now?
Will not forgive what you said
What have you done now?
Locked here I cannot escape
What have you done now?
I will not forgive you

09. My Demons

And I don't know what to say
I'm thinking about you
It's hurting without you
I never learn from my mistakes
I feel fucked up today
My demons cursing me as I'm awake
My head is spinning
I can't think straight
Your words are poison inside my veins
You lied (I don't believe you, I can't relate)
You lied (I hate your voice 'cause it sounds so fake)

You lied
And I don't know what to say
I'm thinking about you
It's hurting without you
I never learn from my mistakes
I'm thinking about you
I'm choking without you

I should have walked away
And break the circle that never ends
No other way to survive the pain
It's either I kill or I will be killed
You lied (But I'm still giving myself away)
You lied (I don't regret every single day)
I think of you
And I can't forget
Every word you said
Hurts inside my head
Cannot let you go
Things will never change
I feel fucked up today
It's either I kill or I will be killed
And I know right now
There is no way that I will be killed
You lied

10. Claustrophobia

If love is the answer
Why does it feel so good to hate?
I don't give a damn about heart shaped lies anymore
I don't need forgiveness
I don't want to listen to your prayers
I want to rise up to the stars above
And fall down to the ground above

Why
Why don't you try
Why don't you stay with me?
(Time is over)
When I'll be gone
You will be suffering for me

You think that I am worthless
Like one of your dolls that feeds on pain
I don't give a fuck about the heart shaped clouds
I will open my eyes
Stay away from you

Why
Why don't you try
Why don't you kill me
(Time is over)
When I'll be gone
You will be suffering for me

Claustrophobic hate
Starts a chain reaction
If it doesn't kill you
It will shape your life
Will hate be the answer?

11. Ultima Ratio

He's trying to run
He cannot hide anymore
The hunt has started
Dead or alive
There is no terror in my eyes
It feels like I'm paralyzed in Hell
No more time to realize
It is now or never
Breath is short but I'm alive
I'm getting closer to the gate
Keep on hiding in the dark
Will this nightmare ever end?
Inmate out
Time to track him down
Lock him back inside his cell

Save me
Before I fall apart
Come closer to me while I'm still alive
It never ends

No end
Red lights are flashing in my eyes
Sirens ringing in my ears
Here's a chance to save my life
I'm not ready for this
I'm trapped inside
The fire of all the things
That might have been
The torture never ends
