PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN This is too much
2.	Pain Go Away 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Some days are destined to end bad I can tell you that already This sensation I've had Distressing feeling so heavy Damaging stimuli, a sickness congenital Still not ready to feel it again Be it physical or mental Contemplating the nature of... Pain, too great to bear Pain, take it away from me Pain, I don't care Pain, go away I wanted to do something But ended up as always Maybe I'm not worthy Of finding a release today I thought I can make it But I think it's going to worsen It is not letting go even a bit Why am I fated to live in... Pain, too great to bear Pain, take it away from me Pain, I don't care Pain, go away Pain, go away Pain, go away Pain, go away This is too much Is it me anymore? PAIN GO AWAY PAIN GO AWAY PAIN GO AWAY PAIN GO AWAY
3.	Welcome To Sodom 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Between two highland towns An oval-shaped, fertile plain North of the sea where many drowned Now desiccated soil begs for rain What's the cause of this dry spell? Did the dwellers fail their lord? Is it of their own making? Well, Atrocities are what they adore Welcome to Sodom, make yourself at home Give yourself to pleasure, don't stare at me Beautiful moment, do not pass away! Come! But there's one rule: look not behind thee In order to know virtue, first Acquiant yourself with vice Here's a way to slake your thirst Eat, drink, plough in this paradise Play the field while you might Until everything is gone Afterwards, the next night It may rain fire and brimstone Welcome to Sodom, make yourself at home Give yourself to pleasure, don't stare at me Beautiful moment, do not pass away! Come But there's one rule: look not behind thee Welcome to Sodom, make yourself at home Give yourself to pleasure, don't stare at me Beautiful moment, do not pass away! Come But there's one rule: look not behind thee You did look, didn't you? Welcome to Sodom, make yourself at home Give yourself to pleasure, don't stare at me Beautiful moment, do not pass away! Come But there's one rule: look not behind thee
4.	They Won't 04:15	lyrics	buy track
A random thought, this is it Unstoppable stream of consciousness Strain of madness impossible to beat Don't want to think about this mess That's my life! But they're taking Away! All that's good and sweet Fulfilling what was supposed to be Innocent I am no more because of it They're taking, they're taking! They're taking it away! My sleep, my safety! What am I today?! They won't, they won't They won't leave me tonight I don't want to see this This isn't right All that was scary and all that was sad All that trauma, everything that was Embarassing, humiliating, all things cringe and bad All the violence and things which were gross... If they define me what can I find About myself? I'm not sure It's chimaeric to win against one's mind To resist I am too impure They're taking, they're taking! They're taking it away! My sleep, my safety! What am I today?! They won't, they won't They won't leave me tonight I don't want to see this This isn't right They're taking, they're taking! They're taking it away! My sleep, my safety! What am I today?! They won't, they won't They won't leave me tonight I don't want to see this This isn't right Don't take, don't take, don't take it away Don't take, don't take, don't take it away Don't take, don't take, don't take it away Don't take, don't take, don't take it away Don't take away Don't take away Don't take away Don't take, don't take, don't take it away
5.	Endless Loop 05:17	lyrics	buy track
I'm finally awake I feel different yet I feel the same I'm trying to make another step And get the rules of this yet another game I am you and you are me Endless loop Endless loop Endless loop - logic error Endless loop - moral axiom So here I am, caught in the middle Of these familiar pages of pain This is the most exquisite riddle I know But I'm not longing to solve it again I am you and you are me Endless loop Endless loop Endless loop - logic error Endless loop - moral axiom I think I've figured it out I think I'll stay here for a while But will I be strong enough To make the miracle happen? This may be too much But I'm a new person now This was all false and as such It shall be gone Endless loop Endless loop Endless loop - logic error Endless loop - moral axiom
6.	Irredeemable 06:10	lyrics	buy track
I admit with no excuse I'm no longer a good man That title I have to refuse Does it change the way I am Is it me or someone else Am I the culprit then? Maybe I was that all along And no one else can atone I have to and me alone After reflection, I see it well It's so damn easy to lose See, back then I couldn't tell Irredeemable - I've commited a sin Irredeemable - Don't deserve your forgiveness Irredeemable - This is how the evil wins Irredeemable - Took over my weakness Irredeemable - I've commited a sin Irredeemable - Don't deserve your forgiveness Irredeemable - This is how the evil wins Irredeemable - Took over my weakness I really understand rancour You can now speak of me with I am guilty for sure Too many deeds perceived as sins How can I be washed of them all They keep accumulating within My body goes quickly numb When I see the sheer terror Of what I have become Is there clemency for me? Can atonement still wait there? Please just leave me be Confess Confess Irredeemable - I've commited a sin Irredeemable - Don't deserve your forgiveness Irredeemable - This is how the evil wins Irredeemable - Took over my weakness Irredeemable - I've commited a sin Irredeemable - Don't deserve your forgiveness Irredeemable - This is how the evil wins Irredeemable - Took over my weakness Confess Do you feel better? Do you hate me? Do you feel bitter? Do you loathe me? Do you feel better? Do you hate me? Do you feel bitter? Do you loathe me? Irredeemable - I've commited a sin Irredeemable - Don't deserve your forgiveness Irredeemable - This is how the evil wins Irredeemable - Took over my weakness Irredeemable - I've commited a sin Irredeemable - Don't deserve your forgiveness Irredeemable - This is how the evil wins Irredeemable - Took over my weakness Irredeemable! Irredeemable! Irredeemable! Irredeemable!
7.	Conflagration 05:24	lyrics	buy track
O flames! You coil and twine so relentlessly Around each other and your hugs are so warm Wonders and essence of such an entity So beautiful, of course you don't mean my harm Need a bit of combustible material Oxygen-rich compound's your first criterion Conflagration you're everywhere I see You come so fast I simply must succumb O firestorm please let your tongues lick me Show me the light, nothing to refrain from But what if there's too much of you around I know I've encouraged you and let you in I got the impression you want to lick my mind I'm not sure if this is the right place to be I think I wanted this but now I'm not sure Even now after this you're too hard to abjure Conflagration you're everywhere I see You come so fast I simply must succumb O firestorm please let your tongues lick me Show me the light, nothing to refrain from Fire! Conflagration you're everywhere I see You come so fast I simply must succumb O firestorm please let your tongues lick me Show me the light, nothing to refrain from Conflagration you're everywhere I see You come so fast I simply must succumb O firestorm please let your tongues lick me Show me the light, nothing to refrain from
8.	Junk 05:05	lyrics	buy track
Worthless, inferior, wretched, inutile Can recite a whole list describing my awful self Meaningless existence so useless it's futile Annoying and deficient, only an ugly skelf Can't possibly achieve the things others want As always naïve, believe in me? I don't Close to give up, can't hold up relations Fail to live up to society's expectations Junk - a waste of space Junk - good for nothing Junk - a lost case Junk - an object of loathing Junk - a waste of space Junk - good for nothing Junk - a lost case Junk - an object of loathing Low self-esteem and a constant need For self-validation and praising Some tall talk may mislead Your smart comments just slay me Good-looking to no one Of loving not worthy, surely nothing to see Who would accept such a miserable moron Not many, surely not me Junk Junk Junk Junk Junk - a waste of space Junk - good for nothing Junk - a lost case Junk - an object of loathing Junk - a waste of space Junk - good for nothing Junk - a lost case Junk - an object of loathing I am finally alone Eventually I can contemplate With any pretence gone On my self hatred dilate If only I could deny And find a counterargument There's yet another thing to decry My ungratefulness deserves a punishment Junk - a waste of space Junk - good for nothing Junk - a lost case Junk - an object of loathing Junk - a waste of space Junk - good for nothing Junk - a lost case Junk - an object of loathing Junk Junk Junk Junk Human junk
9.	Washed 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Numerous biological states Expected changes in brain Sometimes fail, let's get it straight Attempts are vain Everything is bleak Some wounds won't heal Cold and distant, so to speak A decade long ordeal What do I feel, I don't know If anything, I feel washed What do I feel, I don't know If anything, I feel washed Sometimes I check the list of emotions, you know And I read one after another and ask myself if I feel it Affection, amusement, anger - no Angst, apathy, anxiety - this might be it Maybe I feel something after all But I don't want to name this miserable thing Maybe I should talk to someone beyond the wall However, who knows what that can bring Washed Washed What do I feel, I don't know If anything, I feel washed What do I feel, I don't know If anything, I feel washed Washed Washed Washed I'm not sure if I want to exist at all Washed Washed Washed
10.	Graduation Day 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Please listen, a decade ago I was like you Had your fears, insecurities and aims I spent my life not exactly how I wanted to But believe me, I know your pains You're entering a dark world now It's much different and more dangerous Than the one you used to know In terms of suffering it's really generous Hope your life will be full of happiness I make mistakes so you don't have to Please forgive me, I wasn't good enough One day you will understand everything On Graduation Day I hope You won't forget me and this lesson What's done is done, I can't fix my errors You will commit some too, everyone does Yesterday will not be called again Hope you don't perceive me as someone bad I was someone else back then I recall the dream we've had Remember the birds, remember the gardens Please go on and forget all the sadness Hope your life will be full of happiness I make mistakes so you don't have to Please forgive me, I wasn't good enough One day you will understand everything On Graduation Day I hope You won't forget me and this lesson ... I hope your life will be full of happiness I make mistakes so you don't have to Please forgive me, I wasn't good enough One day you will understand everything On Graduation Day I hope You won't forget me and this lesson Hope your life will be full of happiness I make mistakes so you don't have to Please forget me, I wasn't good enough One day you will understand everything On Graduation Day I hope You will forgive me and this lesson
11.	Mental Diversion 05:57	lyrics	buy track
To be in this world Is to suffer all the time But recently I have found A perfect way to survive I can escape when I want I need only some nice story I'd immerse 'cause I don't Feel like having again to worry I can read, I can watch I can play, I can dive I can't fight, I can't dodge I can't run, I can't hide It's too hard to deal with life Avoid duty, loss and coercion Lets me evade every strife Escapism - mental diversion It's too hard to deal with life Avoid duty, loss and coercion Lets me evade every strife Escapism - mental diversion The role of distraction In shifting unwanted moods The most vital is my passion To various things which include Maybe some compulsive actions Or even something spiritual Doesn't matter as long as I won't see what is real I can read, I can watch I can play, I can dive I can't fight, I can't dodge I can't run, I can't hide It's too hard to deal with life Avoid duty, loss and coercion Lets me evade every strife Escapism - mental diversion It's too hard to deal with life Avoid duty, loss and coercion Lets me evade every strife Escapism - mental diversion I don't want to... I don't want to... I don't want to... I don't want to... I don't want to... I don't want to... ... I can read, I can watch I can play, I can dive I can't fight, I can't dodge I can't run, I can't hide It's too hard to deal with life Avoid duty, loss and coercion Lets me evade every strife Escapism - mental diversion It's too hard to deal with life Avoid duty, loss and coercion Lets me evade every strife Escapism - mental diversion Escapism - mental diversion Escapism - mental diversion Escapism - mental diversion Escapism - mental diversion Escapism - mental diversion Escapism - mental diversion Live
12.	White Glow 07:16	lyrics	buy track
You certainly are a valuable person. I want you to know it. You're a miracle. I remember your smell of plum, black currant and lemon When you walk away, it leaves traces of patchouli and vanilla, And I try to recall your texture as of an Unusual fruit from the Northern realms I was looking for some answer Instead, I found another question Our talk won't stop once there Every sentence could be a suggestion I gathered an impression that it lasts Since the dawn of time In fact, it evolved pretty fast Eventually, you changed the life of mine In this distant white glow I hope you remember Despite your hatred of snow That day in December Everything was so alike We seemed to be fated It appeared to be right Now I feel we're amputated In Finnish there's a phrase "kuin kaksi marjaa" Which means literally "like two berries" That is, very similar to each other I've never met someone like you... someone like me In this distant white glow I hope you remember Despite your hatred of snow That day in December It turned out Without you I can't be anymore (In this distant white glow) In this distant white glow (This is too much) I hope you remember (What do I feel? Now I'm not sure) Despite your hatred of snow (Everything is gone) That day in December (This isn't right) (Please forget me) (In this distant white glow) In this distant white glow (I'm a new person now) I hope you remember (I can't run, I am guilty for sure) Despite your hatred of snow (If only I could deny) That day in December (no) Goodbye Goodbye...
