"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend" William Blake A day like this you can't erase, you can't dismiss a Judas kiss Got caught off-guard: betrayed and permanently scarred, it hit so hard May the bridge you burn behind you kind light your way May your sin remain and let you live another day while you're fading away Here we are: on the edge, ready to slide down this slippery ledge Go ahead, play your part: leave me alone with my pain - this thorn in my heart A pointless war, no clue on what you're fighting for but keeping score I guess you've won. As everything's been said and done - alright, I'm gone May the bridge you burn behind you kindly light your way May your sin remain and let you live another day Here we are: on the edge, ready to slide down this slippery ledge Go ahead, play your part: twisting this thorn in my heart Every smile, every tear - Fake as they come - are concealing a sneer Go ahead, play your part, leave me alone with my pain - this thorn in my heart The time has come to figure out which side you're on: it's now or never I'll leave behind this silent crowd forever

"In individuals insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs it is the rule" Friedrich Nietzsche What? What did you miss? We said that ignorance is bliss! Now we are in charge: dividing sheep while living large On every screen - that same routine: more gasoline on the fire Hope I got it wrong, this madness shouldn't last too long "You! Do as I say not as I do... and that's the one and only way" Yet for a while we all complied, went acting wild and crazy Here you go: that's the key of your insanity in a steady flow fleshing out a new reality - or so it looks to me - From the ground up with unstoppable brutality to a scary sound in the key of your insanity, can't you see? It's all a myth and "make believe". Such a relief... I'm dreaming

"I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect" Sophocles You know, I live like there is no tomorrow no days to grieve or nights to dread I'm hurtling down the road so bend and narrow Can't look around - just straight ahead Forget the past, its paling fast - I'm free at last "Go on and live another day like it's your last" I heard them say "Erase - rewind and start anew" They're telling you: "Relive your pain, relive your loss, and - one more time! - embrace your cross Go on and live another day" Is that what they say? I do recall another world around me Before the fall - so long ago A bunch of fools emerged and so profoundly changed all the rules... the rest you know What's done is done, they surely won, that life is gone... move on The time has come to bend your knees and pray You're on your own, a blurring face of yesterday Recalling every ghost of everyone you've lost along the way... so far away

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving" Albert Einstein Here I stand in the open, beat and banned yet unbroken, still unbroken Out of breath, clearly stranded, daring death empty handed and abandoned Through the rain through the snow I go One more fight left to win, there is one more soul to redeem One more flag to wave, dream to save One more breath left to take, begging one more heart to unbreak This is all I've got - one more shot Hands of time moving faster predefined by The Master, Holy Master Precious days disappearing... Anyway, I'm still hearing, clearly hearing voices inside my head go: "Not yet!" One more fight left to win, there is one more soul to redeem One more flag to wave, dream to save One more breath left to take, begging one more heart to unbreak One more wound to heal, pain to feel One more day to survive facing one more loss in your life Granted one more shot - change the plot, give it all you got

"It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live" Victor Hugo The thrill of the chase is getting right under my skin Let's to it with grace... can't wait to begin Ready or not - enter the quest I'm giving it all that I've got and hope for the best The city's asleep, untroubled but something's not right I'm roaming these streets alone in the night Mile after mile, farther away I know I've been chased for a while - that's my part in this play Scream of anger, scream of fear... wave goodbye, the end is near Pull me under, drag me down, haul me around No turning away, just look up and pray Scream of anger, scream of fear... wave goodbye, the end is near Executed on the run... so be quick or become undone Which law did I break to have all that heat on my back? Their world is so fake, dead set to attack time and again, sinners or saints Until there're no one to blame but scattered remains Holy spirit, holy ghost - one of you will hurt me most You in heaven, in the sky - don't let me die

"Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are: "It might have been" Kurt Vonnegut After all, the smoke has cleared and the sound of thunder faded away All that I dreaded and feared is coming my way Every wish I've ever had realized and went as bad as it gets Sadly there's nothing to add to my list of regrets There's no turning back, no "saving the day" Too little too late, no further delay How could it take so long, how could it go so wrong? But now it's over, done, it's over... Pray, we're going away Where do we, where do we go? Nowhere, as far as I know Will we be ever redeemed or cursed, left in the wing? What have we, what have we done? Burned it all down to the ground Could it be something we dreamed? Oh no... we're left in the wind Now it's time to say goodbye just in case I'll never see you again
