Distorted Minds

You can take your taste
Shove it somewhere I can't see
Want to feel something
Pushed too far to be released
Distracted by a beautiful face
Stumble on bear traps
Thoughts are knee caps
Crushed with a baseball bat
My eyes are shrouded by your mysteries
Distorted minds consumed by history
My thoughts are broken by your head disease
Distorted minds are someone's victory
You can take your crown
Shove it somewhere
Forever gone
There has to be something
To find the place where you belong
Distracted by division
Stumble on barbed wire
Thoughts are ripped kites
Evolution with no desire
My eyes are shrouded by your mysteries
Distorted minds consumed by history
My thoughts are broken by your head disease
Distorted minds are someone's victory
So think about that when you fly away, please

Shameless Act

The time has passed, let's move on
The stage is set for another shameless act
Mind the till now
Try to slip past the locals
They want the same that you want
Mind the till now
The time has passed, let's go on
The stage is set for another fearless act
Mind the till now
Give up the answer
Beneath the pressure
Give up the answer
Traded for pleasure
The game is on
The game is lost
The game is rigged
The throat is slit
The time has passed, let's get out
The door is closed for any half-ass tries
Mind the mind now
Try to sneak past the hordes
Give up the answer
Beneath the pressure
Give up the answer
Traded for pleasure
Give up the answer
Beneath the pressure
Give up the answer
Traded for pleasure
The game is on
The game is lost
The game is rigged
The throat is slit
The time has passed, let's move on
The stage is set for another shameless act
Mind the till now
Try to slip past the locals
They want the same that you want

Enter

So, let me tell you the story
About a hundred men
Who climbed down the valley roads
Too much tilting their backs
Trying to be something that they are not
Yet here they are
And they are for you
Every day you listen to them speak
Like it's all you could hear
But they have nothing to say
They just babble on about nothing
So don't listen
Don't listen now
Don't listen
Sometimes you could swear they are there
Yet no one else sees them
But it's a fact for you
You don't make it up
You know it's true
They speak to you
Every day
Every night
Between everything
Trying day by day to let go of the facts
But they hang by your ears
Like an iron ballast
So all I could really say is
Don't listen to them anymore
Don't listen
Don't listen
Don't listen
Don't listen

A Thought

Simple as it may seem to you
There's gonna be a way to put you through the gates
Nothing as it may seem to you
There's gonna be a way to make you feel same
The only thing that feels anything like the false beliefs
Handed at the gates and pushed by the companies
Traitor is the train that hauled you in
There's gonna be a way to make you like the flames
Evil is the brain that you lured you in
There's gonna be a way to make you feel the shame
The only thing that feels anything like the false beliefs
Handed at the gates and pushed by these companies
Gold is passed as you're made to stand in line
For bad or worse
Gold is passed as you're made to laugh in time
As they drown the Earth
Gold is passed as you're pushed over the line
To fight in vain
Gold is passed as you're sent to oblivion
Leave only pain
Simple as it may seem to you
Nothing as it may seem to you
Stupid as it may seem to you

Headlights

The time is up tonight
The phase is torturing me
So won't you turn the light away from my poor eyes
The time is up tonight
The phase is torturing me
So won't you turn the light away from my poor eyes
I'll slip inside
The curtained rooms in your mind
I know the teeth will grind
The sound is punishing me
Convert me, I won't tell
Then lock me with a reason
We don't see eye to eye
We could see past the headlights
The dogs are barking now
To chase you right beside me
The lights are turning low
The door is locked
Goodbye
The time is up tonight
The phase is torturing me
So won't you turn the light away from my poor eyes
I'll sleep inside
Rooms of your mind
Teeth always grind
Turn me, I won't tell
Then lock me without reason
We don't see eye to eye
We could see past the headlights
Watch your feet now
The time is up tonight
The phase is torturing me
So won't you turn the light away from my poor eyes
The time is up tonight
The phase is torturing me
So won't you turn the light away from my poor eyes
The time is up tonight
The phase is torturing me
So won't you turn the light away from my poor eyes
I'll slip inside
The curtained rooms in your mind
I know the teeth will grind
The sound is punishing me
