Submission 04:51
Shaped into unknown forms Views curbed by control Altered extractions Imprisoning every choice Voices merged to my soul Rejected by denial Thoughts harassed by your tongue Aiming at my last step I stay under the surface Defending my confidence Try obtain unconsciousness Still flooded with deceit Swimming in deep blue I see no way through I hide from your impression Obliged with resistance I reload my ambition Swallow yourself if fed Close your eyes, pretend dead Beware of existance Smile to retain your strength Repress your fears Hide your tears Swallow yourself if fed Close your eyes, pretend dead Compelled to submission Lie to retain your strength Submit your fears Hide your tears Shaped in an empty form Smothered by control I move in your direction Picture the way you act “Show me your world – I’m left behind” Swimming in deep blue You show the way through Reject your denial Proceed with your noxious task Let go of yourself Lyrics by H. Karlsson

Stale 05:23
Slightly too much to drink Tried hard to numb the guilt By altering the levitation Without finding an explanation Another day of finding flesh Still searching for innocent lips Installing the mask protection Hoping to avoid detection Conjuring with a promising kiss No conscience for what they will miss A mind drifting soft in the dark Entering a passage of angels Succumbed by a dream so real Signals peaking red to near Alarming the need of compassion Through syndromes of fertile erection Longing for a flowered relation Blinded by ejaculation Attracted by transparent eyes Tasting their inner flavours Stimulation breaking ice Test turning into fiction Experimental penetration Resolving the contamination Lyrics by H. Karlsson

Tearstained 04:10
Waking up with the lights still on Thinking all night about where I belong Writhing in frames of your vanished shame A tearstained view replaying pictures of you Your warmth warming him His hands on your skin Seducing susceptive ears Your eyes tasting his A sore eternal kiss Wiping away your tears Shaping up through the night so strong Nourishing from hopes of a place to belong Detesting the earth of your world so cold Accessing emerged retaining lies so bold You insist you resist still the urge slipped through Crippling all trust exerting faith too cruel Your warmth warming him His hands on your skin Seducing susceptive ears Your eyes tasting his A sore eternal kiss Wiping away your tears Your flesh tempting him Hands caressing skin Indulged by his eager words Your voice close to his A stark eternal kiss Wiping away our years Your dark hungry eyes Startling his lies Pretending both close and true Ravishing our inner view Lyrics by H. Karlsson

Overload 04:54
We’re still and quiet now (It’s oh so silent now) You’re anxious to cry thats why (so anxious to cry) Be still and silent now (You’re far too quiet now) You try to retain that smile (But lose it somehow) We’re moving the circle Keep moving in circles Wrap me in silver Each time we fail Your slumbering stiffness Catching my breath Mouth velvet empty Slow slowly moving The glow coming nearer each time we faint Straining your spirit we dye our lives red Paleness overwhelming Slow slowly fading Eyes worried empty With nothing to say We’re still and silent now (It’s oh so quiet now) You want me to cry thats why (You want me to try) Be still and quiet now (You’re far too silent now) You’re trying to fake that smile (But lose it somehow) We’re still and quiet now (There’s silence all around) I want you to try thats why (I want you to cry) We’re still so violent now (You’re still so violent now) We reach for the icy sky (But lose it each try) Wrap me in silver Each time we fail Your rioting sickness Pouring over my face Tongue Ruby Frozen Gate slowly opening Do we exist? Please try Always Never How did we get here? So? Why? Does it matter? Eyes naked tempting Start startling nowhere Hands trembling empty Thinking nothing but lust Lyrics by H. Karlsson

Velvet Dream 04:22
You give me present decay You send me a lifetime away I try to caress your mind But your head is spinning around You show me a path to lead Then you hide your treasury I fight to supress your smile But you gave me wings to fly I can feel you all around me so possessive so intriguing Unspoken promises that shatter Your inner need is the only matter I can sense you deep inside me We are losing every moment Misguided confidence that shatter Your elegy is the only matter You unlock my darkest cavern To show me you’re in need of heaven Equality you insist to shatter Intimacy still the only matter Flowered hands are reaching out Filling me with hours of doubt You strive not to hear my voice Boiling flesh reveals your choice My weakness needs your embrace Your stiff narrow empty face Lyrics by H. Karlsson

Going Down 04:21
Breathe my head in Let me slip inside Your star is fading Let me keep you alive Absorb my senses Let me see through your eyes Share your darkest ocean What’s eating you alive? I’ll turn your every reason Just level with my mind You’re drifting away Before my eyes I cannot cope or understand and paradise is lost Your pulse gets slower for every breath I want to make you understand There still are things to trust We’re floating away You try to explain: “Theres nothing left for us to gain – our paradise is lost…” I’m reaching your tide To inhale your lie I’m joining you, we understand that paradise is lost We’re drifting away For every breath Theres nothing left for us to gain Our paradise is lost… Lyrics by H. Karlsson

The Unknown 04:27
A truth too fragile Movement still slow Asleep and frail Stiffness breeding faster Reality exhale Faith descending Running to its end Watching this world passing away Lyrics by H. Karlsson
8.
Serpent calls The final breath To live is regret I have to select Though years have past Our laughter soft behind Erasing the time Desire still hurts Conquers me, I cease to feel It’s always near but not so clear Spinning away We’re spinning away Searching for the shimmering light Turning back though it’s in sight Struggling to save This infinite day This disillusion of life Repressing this shivering light You are lying warm and bright Pretending to save This infinite day Conceal Entering the disillusion Rush to save the day My hands burning on her flesh The sleeping eye swayed so close Keep your eyes skinned Keep your eyes skinned Rush to save the day My hands burning on her flesh The sleeping eye swayed so close Lyrics by Karlsson/Kronberg

The silence now when you’re here to stay Washing every colour away Lips not moving A cold embrace Giving the end a face Eyes wide open Gasping for air The winter of your heart tear our worlds apart You’re hurt and I bleed and I still can’t seal the feelings you told me not to feel You’re too far away to ever be close I’ll give you whatever you need to dream You’re scared and I bleed and I still can feel those moments you force me not to feel Your prescence still there hanging soft in the air those hungry words pounding scenting yearning arousing me That breathless voice Floating in tears Washing away our time Your face still trembling your arms so pale Revealing secrets hiding far away Eyes wide open Fading away The winter of your heart tear us worlds apart Lyrics by H. Karlsson

Laughing faces Shining maces It’s creeping to you The dreams become real Nobody to feel Conquer my mind Share my love And share my fears It act so strange Rising above me Expecting me to give in It act so strange Rising above me Expecting me to give in The nightmare’s real It’s creeping to you The dreams become real I can hear you scream The nightmare’s real It truely exist It’s laughing at you It’s screaming for you Conquer my mind Share my love And taste my tears It’s creeping to you The dreams become real Nobody to feel It act so strange Rising above me Expecting me to give in It act so strange Rising above me It act so strange Laughing faces Shining maces It’s creeping to you The dreams become real Nobody to feel Conquer my mind Share my love And share my fears Conquer my mind Share my love Lyrics by J.

Struck Down 04:07
Pure anger is burning in my skull The only thing now is to maintain control Closing up from my upper arm The battle in me is lost and gone Adrenaline and anger is burning in my vein Cheering at me inside my brain I want to see your blood on the ground I want to see you laying there Struck Down Struck Down I want to see your blood on the ground I Want to see you laying there Struck Down Struck Down On the ground I welcome the madness that move in my soul I lost Lost all control The scientists made a good job on me They took humanity My humanity I want to see your blood on the ground I want to see you laying there Struck Down Struck Down I want to see your blood on the ground I want to see you laying there Struck Down Struck Down On the ground Micro circus in my brain It’s amplifying Built in me to do some pain Adrenaline and anger is burning in my vein Built in me to do some pain Built in me to do some pain Lyrics by J. Kronberg

Debris 03:22
My feelings are nothing But I feel no despair Crawling Needing Aching Crawling Needing Aching Feeling Aching Needing Crawling Needing Aching What do you want me to do When I not want to My feelings for you Says we are Undone Wanting you to feel me Need me My feelings for you Says we are undone Wanting you to feel me Wanting you to need me Feel me Crawling Needing Aching Crawling Needing Aching What do you want me to do When I not want to What do you want me to do When I not want to Lyrics by J. Kronberg

Final Spasm 03:38
Looking out from the doors of time Past and time to come Doomed for all time To live in this hell to world The hell living The horror dying Die to immortal dreaming The hell living The horror dying Die to immortal dreaming Cannot breathe Can you feel the pressure? Can you feel the choking All around The hell living The horror dying Die to immortal dreaming Know what you are And what I am Do you know In the red dust and forgotten Charged with desperation Looking out from the doors of time Past and time to come Doomed for all time To live in this hell to world The hell living The horror dying Die to immortal dreaming Lyrics by J. Kronberg

In deep quiet gloom Seeking in vain (Fluid moments) Like a barrier in the mind I learn nothing (Willing to converse) Wasting no time and I want no distractions (Fluid moments) The eyes dissolving away And feelings struggling Spring to its lighter surface Spring to its lighter surface The taste of the conflict Infected with hate (Willing to converse) In deep quiet gloom Seeking in vain (Fluid moments) Reluctant sustainance of you I learn nothing (Willing to converse) Happy thoughts Trembling Fading Slow The eyes dissolving away And feelings struggling Spring to its lighter surface Spring to its lighter surface Happy thoughts Fading Slow Lyrics by J. Kronberg

Decisions Act Run Time is on your side A thousand whispers reach out Do you believe in me? Try Faith Cracked Be calm Time is on your side Can’t stay Make my tears fall Do you confide in me? Sit back still Watch this world Pass me by Use my blind eyes See me fall Lie down Slip Ask for more With violet hands Please hold me down Incite my set back Keep me sore Use my blind eyes See me fall Lie down Strip Fake once more Drain my mind Please bring me down Come back Stay Cut Watch me crawl Decisions long gone Set the night on fire Luscious bright lies cried out Do you despise my dream? Try Fail Let it flow and set the night on fire Can’t stay Run my hair through Will you remember me? Sit back close Watch this world Pass me by Lyrics by H. Karlsson
