The Sirens,The Pleasures

Yeah, the world is in my hands tonight
this smile is carved throughout my face
cups in the air, fire in our hearts
I’ll celebrate till morning rise
with weathered souls, no rights or wrongs
we’re held in crossroads for so long
an ongoing illusion and always is welcome as hell
with rows of bottles will count the years wasted again
I will drain the joy out of this day
I have grown tired of the debate
it all comes down to what we shared
Unearth the seeds, rethink your needs
this foundation was built on clay
lets light the spark back in our hearts
we’re all meant to shine
but now it’s my turn
we’ll make it through this alive
as we always did
what have we done
with our primes down the gutter
what have we done
what have we done my brothers
This day I saved for you…

This I Ever Get
04:32

I mean no harm but what’s coming is relentless
Nothing remains the same
but I need to stand a chance in this
I become shelter and you whistle carefree
I flirted with ruination
I walked two steps ahead of my fate
I played cards with the devil
but couldn’t tell no difference
it’s in the headlines and you still ask me why
I chose to end this fight alone
there are bottoms to be found in every turn you take
there is high risk in every page you turn
it ends today my sins are vanished, you’re just shades of grey and that’s killing me
I don’t miss the weight I had to leave behind
I have the sun on my back and I got rid of the whys
bound to cast the first stone, as always
we all weight the burden of our guilt
with our personal measures and the way we lived
when the tide comes in, who can assure you that you’ll keep afloat
and it all gets slipped away
as life throws barricades
is this a need to escape or a chain to a baleful tomorrow
is this a need to escape or a chain to a baleful tomorrow
it’s in the headlines day after day
just failed to meet your hopes
there are bottoms to be found in every turn you take
let it be a lesson in life
you know it's hard to relate to the pain of others
but when the lights go out the cries will have the deepest sympathy
this armor’s thick but I’ve grown fond of its imperfections
the design was flawed and the cuts made themselves at home

Two Left Hands
04:56

You’re not a number on the screen baby
you’re not in line with the weak and I know
Something lies way within
the soul I’m keen to meet
I reach out my hands in help
you just can’t fail to see
So face it, embrace it
and don’t let me in between
I can’t stand (it) or accept the fact
these words might fade
I’d trade the moment for the thrill but it seems
my legs are used in getting stuck in this mess
We ought to blame coincidence
for we are saints
we strive to keep this peace intact
always prone to defeat
Feels like we’re fading away
you build a maze around you
It feels right but you’re made out of clay
let me be the arms that bind you
it feels right but this time
Let me come through to you
It all comes down to what we wait for
a reality check or a sacrifice?
It all comes down to what we wait for
every day’s pain, every night in vain
Feels like we’re fading away
you build a maze around you
It feels right but you’re made out of clay
let me be the arms that bind you
it feels right but this time
Let me come through
and show you something true

Reclaim The Fate
04:26
|

I’ll claim what I deserve this glorious stand won’t be my last one
a glimpse of things that I could have just turned to rust in worn out hands
Distract me, calm me with words unheard or lead me to the bitter end
No, can’t live on faith alone
this time just be my only sanctuary
Won’t let go, this last chance’s all I’ve got
hope this time I found a sanctuary
Don’t let my past flow back in, it moves with the tides but remains unseen
obsessions drowned in waters deep
Lessons learned but scars remained, you’ll see me crawl to numb the pain
I hate this repetition, facing the back of a long dead me
A promise to myself, I won’t give up again
I reclaim my fate
these walls are closing in and hope now rests in misery
a touch of love or dreams fulfilled, little turns to paths new schemed revealed
don’t let my past flow back in, don’t let my past flow back in
I’m chasing ghost and losing ground, reclaim my fate, my sanctuary

Fine Lines
03:52

Inside , the more i am searching the less i find
Besides , my future's in question , my endeavors denied
so i am looking for some strength , to recover and retain
a light of hope in times of need, a steady point in a world unshaped
completion , and all my dreams come true
contradiction , my voice was never heard before
Define , define what it's useless and what i should try
Decline , leaving all touchstones we valued behind
it's a pity to insist on this unavailing twist
it's a one way ride from here, stay off the roads they pave ahead
completion , and all my dreams come true
contradiction , my voice was never heard before
Before , was so easy to feel what's left what is real
No more , cannot live in this state , to lose what i 've gained

Quentin's View

We came blazing with these guns
with shiny eyes and dressed in style
we asked for hell in this town
we begged the crowd but helped them out this way
they could have care less
but our thirst was hard to quince
so we tend to forget the rules (we always forget the rules)
the play’s not over in the first act, no
so save me some strength
for these words break my stride
and the things that kept me alive once
are sinking with everyone else
these thoughts…scratch, fight and bite away from them
for the last time I will drive my demons home
I renounce all your offering, gambler of lost souls
the Tempter, oh spirit, we’re in too deep to withdraw
end paralyzed by a chance to feel alive
for the last time I will drive my demons home
to move on is to forgive
to endure is to forget
try your worse till it looks fit
try your worse it seems like…
…we are in peace still looking for trouble
these pills won’t ease this pain veteran
you ask for confessions end up with obsessions
if you can’t stay still you better run
there’s a war in every corner and this girl’s high heels are a battlefield
we always forget the rules
we always forget the rules
You cannot deny the thrill of a lifetime
it’s always the same. The ending’s the same but always rewinding
to move on is to forgive
to endure is to forget

Burden
04:03

The burden of life,
a challenge you detest
accepting all absurd beliefs
Society, a devious lie that you buy
the routines we will never abandon
the excuses we left hanging on the walls
always cherish our habits like idols
blindfolded eyes and boarded up doors
in faith redeemed
cover your scars, reveal your sins
Reality reflecting their hideous role
there's a war in our backyard, it's raging on
our peace on a pedestal to honor and guard
our safety held in highest regard
After all they plunge it in your mind
After all we're victims of our pride
You heard it before, stood still
so hide your disgust, against your will.
in faith you're redeemed
cover your scars, reveal your sins
Clans of the planet grovel in blood
it feeds the potential inside your soul
The valuing vendibles play their game
We are losing our lives , and who's to blame
After all they plunge it in your mind
After all we're victims of our pride
You heard it before, stood still
so hide your disgust, against your will.
The same drama unfolds
feels the same again
story began, something more
bravery, tears, now it’s an endless road

Seed Of My Addiction
05:41

I live behind you, your shade still haunts my dreams
I bleed without you, this void unlocks my fears
my deepest fears
Wait for the moment and take the chance to set you free
ask for an answer your eyes are shut and you cant see
my misery
deep inside I feel like drowning in your need
can’t control yourself play the role you’ve made
Fall, a better day will never come
regret, keep living the lie
escape, the final act of ignorance
once again, fed up on your denial
(so fragile to escape)
once again, it seems to be futile
(too frightened to stay)
out of aim and far from a revival
it’s the same my self’s again on trial
Lost in a circle way, I spill my sweat and here I lay
Try to ignore my needs, and to expel addiction’s seed
it’s running through my veins, I feel the pain and scratch my nails
my only expectation is to end up my own frustration
deep inside I feel like drowning in your need
for me there’s no way back, you’re better off this path
Fall, a better day will never come
regret, keep living the lie
escape, the final act of ignorance
retreat crawl back into decay
