Mirror Faces
04:14
|

|
Torrents of mirror faces
I'm sinking between the edges
And trapped in the glass
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
Warning, warning
Still my memory's a landmine
And I'm stuck in this no-man's land
Like a bunch of broken glass
There's no point in anything now
Warning, warning
I'm choking, I'm choking
Get out of here, get out of here
Get out
Don't take it bad, don't take it personally
Don't take my words for yourself
Cause what I fucking hate in you it's me
It's what I fucking hate in you.
I take the blame for my own existence
For the same old incidents
Going over and over again
I can only go down now
Warning, warning
I'm choking, I'm choking
Get out of here, get out of here
Get out
Cause what I fucking hate in you it's me
And I'm sorry for my schizophrenic ways
It's what I fucking hate in you.

Social Requirements
03:13
|
|||
|
I'm not running up the slopes of your requirements
Nothing I do is never good enough
And when I stumble I roll down
Whatever I do or say, appearances will be against me
So just give me a break, I won't cooperate
Cause you're just trying to bring me down
So this is how I am, and this is where I stand
And you just have to fucking deal with it
Cause I won't let you bring me down
Or Perhaps I'd better be on my way...

Doppelganger
05:54
|
|||
|
Cut out in the shadows, approaching like a tree
Could I ever find the words to rewrite the story
With a perfect empathy
You never know what you give away, you never know what people take
Then someday as you walk away, changes will happen in your wake
From now on, there'll be some changes, some changes made
So far I've been tidying up, I've been just fighting entropy
Now I'm gonna build something up, something that looks a little like you
A shard of soul to fill a missing part
I want to be a mirror, I want to be opaque and I want to be me
With the brand new feelings of someone else's body
You got your pride, well I got mine too
Ain't it mesmerizing, this brand new clear horizon
New eyes bring new perspective
And if you want to play dead, and if you want to play dead
That's okay, I got my own personal sense of empathy
I got myself a brand new set of fingerprints
Unlike any other, a patchwork of identities
A doppelganger, a double doppelganger
That will lift off with its brand new self-confidence
And who will fade behind? Who will fade behind?

Behind the Mirrors
03:42
|
|||
|
Roaming this mirror maze
You might lose yourself, you should watch your feet
Something's wrong in this place
Someone's hiding there, someone you don't want to meet
Hurry along, hurry along
There's a spider in the sun
And werewolves behind mirrors
Wandering in self-reflection
Vertigo occurs, the eyes go amiss
Is there something real in this world
Behind the mirrors, beyond the abyss?
Hurry along, hurry along
There's a spider in the sun
And werewolves behind mirrors

Ghosts of the Past
03:17
|
|||
|
I'm being hunted
By ghosts of the past
I'm carrying a cemetery
In my bags
And every step I take
It's getting heavier
This weight on my back
There's nowhere to hide
They will track you down
In the dead of night
I'm surrounded
By corpses in my head
They're driving me to
A dreaded fate

Le Vaudou
03:20
|
|||
|
Sous le feu des balles masquées
On danse à couteaux tirés
Mais gare au retour de flamme
Le vaudou
Il est dans l’ombre, embusqué
As-tu déjà admiré
Le sombre éclat de sa lame?
Le vaudou
Et même si l’on n’entend rien
Même si l’on ne choisit rien
Chacun doit payer son coût
Le vaudou
À vouloir tisser des liens
On se retrouve l’air de rien
Les mains liées, la corde au cou
Le vaudou
Des bayous de Louisianne
Aux steppes de Kalmoukie
Nulle part on ne peut échapper
Au vaudou
À moins que tu ne parviennes
À retrouver la main qui
A façonné ta poupée
Vaudou

How Unfortunate (Part 1)
03:50
|
|||
|
With you there’s love, and there’s hate,
And there’s nothing in between
But confusion
I couldn’t make up my mind yet,
And it doesn't seem I ever will,
There’s no solution
And then comes a time you can no longer forget
Or there wouldn’t be anything left of you
And then comes a time you can no longer forgive
How unfortunate
There is beauty to tragedy
That I’m not ready to dirty
With denial
I have never quite recovered
So how am I supposed to get over
Your betrayal
And then comes a time you can no longer run off
Or there wouldn’t be anything left for you
And then comes a time you can no longer break free
How unfortunate
And then comes a time you can no longer recall
Or there wouldn’t be anything left but you
And then comes a time you can no longer forget
How unfortunate

Bitter Man
05:23

The same starting line,
The same starting impetus,
How did it turn out so bad?
How could it go so wrong?
I guess it was in the cards
The demon on your back
That's gonna break your wings
That's gonna watch you fall
Then lying down in the dirt
You look up at the sky
To see the black star above
To watch your life flying past
To cheer up lie to yourself, man
To cheer up lie to yourself, man
A part of you has died
Gangrene is gaining ground
Smells like you're rotting away
Smells like you're putrifying
If you want to save your life
You got to sharpen the knife
That's gonna cut through the flesh
That will break off the ties
It's pure survival instinct
It might hurt like hell
But not as much as it would
If you don't do it
To cheer up lie to yourself, man
To cheer up lie to yourself, man
Self-slandering man, self-hating man
The demon in your head, stigmata in your hands
Doors locked, windows shut, prison of consequences
Who thinks you wanted this?
It's all over now
The bleeding has ceased
But forever you will feel
The phantom limb
You're gonna feel it...

Quetzalcoatl
04:13
|

|
The chasm is calling down
It's drawing you in
It's freaking you out
Darkness is staring at you
It's reaching for you
It's coming for you
Chtonian beings have called for a sacrifice
So run for your life and reach out for the sky
The quagmire is slowing you down
It's setting you back
It's keeping you quiet
The sun is shining today
Showing you the way
Calling you away
The landslide of your life, the landfill of your mind
Could it bring forward thrust, could it be fertile ground?

How Unfortunate (Part 2)
05:29

This mountain before my eyes
My one and only landscape
But though it was quite a sight
It was empty, it was fake
This vertigo in my mind
Seemed to light my way to bliss
But was I climbing up the heights
Or on the brink of the abyss
What were you to me anyway ?
Less than a ghost
The reflection of a shadow
Nothing worth remembering
I'd better move on
Or I'm gonna dissolve
In my own bitterness

Je pensais tomber, mais je ne sais plus
Peut-être qu'un souffle ascendant
Me maintient ainsi suspendu
Au-dessus du gouffre béant
Je relève la tête, et je considère
Les lignes de crête baignées de lumière

Green Mountain
05:21
|
|||
|
A call is echoing from higher grounds
Far away in the wilderness
I’ll gladly run away from the crowd
And drive my way across the plain
To the mountains
Up there you’ll get breathing space
It focuses the mind and raises the shades
In the wild no one feels out of place
Don’t look back
Just follow the track
All the way up
To the top of the world
See how far the skyline extends
And catch the world in a single glance
There’s no one around
There’s no one to put you down
Down below
The city of shadows
Is swarming with ants
So insignificant

Yosemite
04:30
|

|
Take off your shoes, and let's climb up on the roof
I'm not about to wipe the slate clean, but sometimes you just need
To look away so as to move on under brand new stars
For now, the scene is set where itineraries cross
A nightdrop in our fears, a nightdrop in our hopes
For infinity is empty, as infinity is full
Twisting and turning these keys
Would likely set us free
Now has come the time to drop the masks and display our souls
The burden is gone and we're unshackled so free we'll fall
Towards the sun
And the ceiling will splinter open
And the clouds will be blown away
And we'll fly over Yosemite
