LOATHE!
You know I've been right here before
On my knees begging at your door
Your eyes - On me
So full of misery
Still keep me coming back for more
Help me - Understand
Help me!
Caught in the crossfire once again
I can't remember where or when
I felt - The shame
You've cast on me the blame
In every single way you can
Help me - Understand
Help me!
I'm bent and broken 'cause of you
Can't find the words to see this through
Your words are cutting through my soul
All my self-loathing born anew
Feels like I'm floating in thin air
I'm at the point where I don't care
I know no matter where I go
The shame of you is always there

MAN IN THE MIRROR
Just one look in the mirror
Reflecting all that could be
My own face full of contempt
Staring back at me, Back at me
I used to have my ambition
Now I'm wondering why
A big fat lie in a suit and tie
Is replacing me, Replacing me
Deep down I know the future holds my destiny
And I'm walking the thin line between fantasy and what is real
Just take my hand and lead me through, I'll keep you safe
You must leave it all behind
The man in the mirror
What's true in the long run
What's right and what's wrong
History shows that nobody knows
If you really see, you're truly free
Just one look in the mirror
Reflecting all that could be
A big fat lie in a suit and tie
Staring back at me, back at me
Deep down I know the future holds my destiny
And I'm walking the thin line between fantasy and what is real
Just take my hand and lead me through, I'll keep you safe
You must leave it all behind
The man in the mirror
Just one look in the mirror
Reflecting all that could be
Deep down I know the future holds my destiny
And I'm walking the thin line between fantasy and what is real
Just take my hand and lead me through, I'll keep you safe
You must leave it all behind
The man in the mirror

BITTERSWEET
Lift me up and let me go
Fade away and let it show
In the brilliant summerhaze
By your beauty and your grace
Endless waters flowing sweet
Fresh new start, but so complete
Lift me up and let me down
Left unturned I turn around
Just a distant memory
Another you another me
Fill the emptiness inside
Never ending joy for life
A head so crowded I could cry
From the bottom of my soul
Try to give, and give my all
Just a distant memory
Another you another me
Fill the emptiness inside
Oh how bittersweet the taste
Of your sweat upon my skin
By your endless, endless grace
I shy away, you pull me in
Unexpected, yet so sweet
Sweep me senseless of my feet
As I stare into your soul
Endless, dark and empty hole
Just a distant memory
Another you another me
Fill the emptiness inside

POETRY IN PAIN
Stranded on an empty shore
Washed up, wasted as my mind
You gave me all, but I want more
Tangled in my foolish pride
And you mend my broken soul
Only you...
And you make me feel whole
You
Left alone in my own shame
Crawling emptiness inside
Feel the poetry in pain
Nothing left for me to hide
And you mend my broken mind
Only you...
What I've lost I know you'll find
You
You make me feel alive
You mend my broken pride
You help me make it through
Only you...
All the pain I felt before
All the agony inside
All that was, is here no more
Peace reflected in your eye
And you mend my broken heart
Only you...
The thought of you when we're apart
You

ANOTHER TWISTED DREAM
I stare into your eyes
A window to your broken soul
Through perfect shades of gray
Your colors still shine through
So blinding to behold
A broken memory - Another twisted dream
I'll give you all I can
I can't carry you through
So empty and afraid
And with your every word
Your memories unfold
You're trapped inside your mind
Deep in your eyes I see - The pain is real
A broken memory - Another twisted dream
I stare into your eyes
A window to your broken soul
I know the pain you feel
This pain is yours and yours alone
A broken memory - Another twisted dream
Through perfect shades of gray...

CRACKS A SMILE
Waiting, waiting for you
Watching your every move
See you as you stagger on
Knowing, soon we'll be one
Feel your body getting weak
As your mind is soaring high
You inject me in your veins
Death cracks a smile
Feeling the warmth in your vein
Calming, negating all pain
Inviting you to join in
Running a race you can't win
Feel your body getting weak
As your mind is soaring high
You inject me in your veins
Death cracks a smile
See me, I feel you go numb
Muted, deaf, blind and dumb
Reality dawns for a while
You're watching as death cracks a smile
Feel your body getting weak
As your mind is soaring high
You inject me in your veins
I'll drive you insane
Feel your mind getting weak
As your body's soaring high
Feel the noose around your neck
Death cracks a smile

GIFT OF FAITH
You fall and I catch you
That's how it has been
Unknowing I let you
Suffer for my sins
A given promise meant to break
Another soul caught in your web
What's left is clearly yours to take
A gift of faith is all I get
As the fog grows thicker
As you fade away
I'm standing beside you
Leading you astray
A given promise meant to break
Another soul caught in your web
What's left is clearly yours to take
A gift of faith is all I get

Truth awaking

TRUTH AWAKING
A creature of habit - Predictable soul - So simple and true
Asking for nothing - But giving her all - To carry you through
You know the hands of time
They've treated her ungently
You can see it in her face
So soft and so gentle - Her hands used to be - Her velvet like touch
So open and giving - Forthcoming and free - Her eyes full of trust
All the colors of the sky
Turning black in her mind's eye
Her dreams slowly fade to gray
She lifts her gaze up to the sky, suddenly she sees
All that ever was before, what will ever be
All those prayers left unheard, write her destiny
Fight the demons in her head, suddenly she's free
A creature of habit - Predictable soul - So simple and true
So used to obeying - Used to being told - What to think and do
A life not worth living - She's locked in her chains - Provided by faith
The words of the holy - By ignorance bent - And twisted by greed
Open up your eyes
Feel the truth awaking
Feel it building up inside
She lifts her gaze up to the sky, suddenly she sees
All that ever was before, what will ever be
All those prayers left unheard, write her destiny
Fight the demons in her head, suddenly she's free

PULL MY TRIGGER
Feel the fear inside you swell with every scream
Press the barrel of my gun against your skin
Take my aim and slowly press against your head
Feel my hatred for you slowly running red
I feel you shivering inside
I see fear in your eyes
I smell the panic on your skin
I pull my trigger
Broken, feeling of humanity in me
Left with a twisted little dream of being free
Knowing nothing's ever gonna bring you back
Close my eyes my mind is riddled with regret
I feel you shivering inside
I see fear in your eyes
I smell the panic on your skin
I pull my trigger
Feel I can't go on with all this pain inside
Dreams of the dead and lifeless blackness of your eyes
I feel the shivering inside
I see death in your eyes
I smell the panic on my skin
I pull my trigger

A MILLION LITTLE PIECES
A million little pieces lying on the floor
A broken soul inside, that just won't fit no more
Stuck between our destiny and what is real
A million little reasons to break away from you
A million little problems, a million little truths
Stuck between our destiny and what is real
A lost and lonely mind, reflected in your eye
I've asked for your forgiveness and given mine to you
A million little pieces are burning through and through
Stuck between our destiny and what is real
A lost and lonely mind, reflected in your eye

Collective Reykjavík, Iceland
Collective is a 'thinktank' of musicians with extremely diverse backgrounds, from metal to ambient to jazz, these guys have pretty much been all over.
