DEMO 2003 LYRICS
THE STAIN OF LIFE
words: Mike Bear
This pace of life is controlling me
I've severed ties with reality
Sitting out of life and feeling cold
Detached emotions, breaking from the fold
Will they leave me here, can't carry on I fear
Won't they pull me out from this life I doubt
Don't wanna fall but it's
getting deeper
I can't climb out and I'm getting deeper
Won't colors touch me like in the past
The stain of life is fading fast
Can I be direct and to the point
Some friends have gone and I've wished to join
I wonder will they be here with me
Or risen bright and forgotten me
Will you return, won't you help me to learn
Please help me to return, won't you stop my burn
I've severed ties with
reality
Sitting out of life and feeling cold
Won't they pull me out of this life I doubt
Don't wanna fall but it's
getting deeper
I can't climb out and I'm getting deeper
Won't colors touch me like in the past
The stain of life is fading fast
Are these words becoming truths
The molding holds it all inside
Still I live in fear, though I see and hear
Falling off the chair, this static life I am aware
THE SICKNESS
words: Mike Bear & Perry M. Grayson
You are hiding inside of me
I feel you become a part of life's dreams
It speaks in words of pain
I'll hold you in and bear your flame
You'll feel this, you'll hear this
Your new soul, I am the sickness
I'll make your candle flicker
Take the air and turn off the lights
I'll still feed when you are dead and gone
I'll live beyond your winter
Opposing, evolving
In control, I am the sickness
Deep rooted fears come true
Turning your own defenses back at you
Your new soul, I am the sickness
In control, I am the sickness
It helps control my world
Calculating, I limit your every move
In effect, I am the sickness
Your new soul, I am the sickness
I am transforming your mortal skin
You have now become a callus shell
Of your former self and I'll keep you low
A yearning spirit in a shackled brain
Negating, erasing
In effect, I am the sickness
Why shouldn't I be longing for the end
When I can't recall a vibrant day
The sun didn't shine upon my face
Now eternal woe is my fate
You'll feel this, you'll hear this
Your new soul, I am the sickness
Deep rooted fears come true
I am the sickness
A SILENT WAR
words: Perry M. Grayson
Ridiculed for honesty
A sober view of a one act play
Repeating it's self eternally
Absurdity continues
We be come accustomed
To situations simple yet volatile
An opportunity awaits
Outstretched hands
Grasping for a change
Will obstacles defeat the challenge for growth
Will obstacles defeat
Outstretched hands
So many opinions, so little dialog
Yours no more valid than the next view
