Silent grief suffocates the rumor
Feel my breathing speed up at the thought of you
My inner voice seems to want me dead
The only choice is to manage down the trail I’ve lead

Never far away, I always see you
When it all goes dark, you light my way through

Never fade
I know you think you’re someone I forgot
Never fade
I’m everything you think I’m not
Never fade
I know you think you’re someone I forgot
Never fade

Growing cold, try to numb my feeling
Lose control, all my friends are leaving
Paid the price for all the lies I used to live
Sacrifice all the love I tried to give

Never far away, I always see you
When it all goes dark you light my way through

Never fade
I know you think you’re someone I forgot
Never fade
I’m everything you think I’m not
Never fade
I know you think you’re someone I forgot
Never fade

What If All We Give is All We Ever Get to Keep?

One less life for us to live
Holding on to something real
If these walls could talk to me
What if all of these eyes only saw what they believed?

Two heavy hearts that refused to beat
When my words fall on deaf ears
If your soul could cry for me
What if all we give is all we ever get to keep?

When we left behind the friends we made along the way
Why is it we never learned from all the mistakes we ever made?

One last chance to disappear
Calling out for someone real
If this God could pray to me
What if where we’re lost is where we are meant to be?

Too much
Much too young and gone too soon
Letting go
Latching on to something new
If this breath is the last I breathe
What if all of my sins are still addicted to me?

When did we give up the ghost as a trade for a heart that begins to break?
Why is it we’re never learning from all of the mistakes we ever made?
How is there one unconditional love when you’ve taken my will to breathe?
Losing our sense of direction has led us to where we all need to be

One less life for us to live
One last chance to disappear
One less life for us to live
One last chance to end this

When did we give up believing in beautiful minds that begin to fail?
How is there always a different path waiting for every road to which we stray?
When did we give up the ghost as a trade for a heart that begins to break?
Why is it we’re never learning from all the mistakes we ever made?

Skunk is Out of Season!

(I Won’t) Pay Your Price icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 03 from the Overkill LP by Motörhead icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Move out, it’s time for someone else
Quit thinking only of yourself
You’re really a nasty piece of work
You know we thought you was a hero but you’re really just a jerk!

On my way
You know I won’t pay your price

You can’t stop and don’t you even try
I’m going to stick my finger in your eye
You don’t deserve my admiration
I’ll sling you through a window if you give me aggravation!

On my way
You know I won’t pay your price

I’m tired of listening to crap
I’d rather stab you in the back
I’m telling you the only real reason that you ain’t going to get it is because skunk is outta season!

On my way
You know I won’t pay your price

Shut the door behind you when you go
Why you’re still here I really don’t know
I’m gonna count up to three and if you’re still here then I’m going to blow away your knees!

On my way
You know I won’t pay your price

An Endless Coming-Back to the Start

Quest for Nothing icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 08 from the Synchro Anarchy LP by Voivod icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

It is a race for another day
You have been driven all your life
There is no exit, no getting off

Always running from something
Since your birth, the chase is on
You are searching for a hideout

Where is this place called “liberty”?
When will I be satisfied?
What is this inhumanity, how freedom became a lie?

It feels like being thrown into orbit: an endless coming-back to the start
You are only passing by

It is a quest for nothing
Always a new beginning, until you find out it’s not

I want anti-gravity!

Busy day, overnight, rundown until you lie dead
The next day, overtime, until you pass out braindead

I don’t question
The are no reasons
I am an ant

I don’t refute, just execute
I am an ant

Get stressed out as you crawl, carry the weight till you’re knocked dead
Stumble, fall, now endure pressure until you’re crushed dead

In all and all, I am so small: a grain of sand
I am an ant

Vacation
Settle down
Your face hits the ground, flat-dead

Have no fun
So worn out
Let’s get back to work, but still dead

In all and all, I am so small: a grain of sand
I am an ant

This one life is the only I have
This whole life, I wouldn’t give it away

Never want to go, never want to go
Never, no way
Never want to go, never want to go, but I will someday

Endlessly, I wish I could live for eternity
I’ll never die because I never want to go, never want to go
Never, no way
