Creatures 1999

All I Have

I 'm anxious and distraught for the last few days
Now there's nothing of the sort that makes it all right
This moment I am compelled to go off the deep end
I clutch at every straw, my heart is sinking

I give it one more try, I give it all I can
I never wanted more, I give it one more shot
I give it all I have to make things right

What scope is there left? Where is the hope then?
I've heard it all before when life is measured
A slow and tame despair is inside all of us
Your passionate old dreams sometimes you cry for

I give it one more try, I give it all I can
I never wanted more, I give it all I have
I give it one more shot to make things right

Little else we can cherish, little else is not enough
A glimpse, a glimpse of heaven
How can I see the stars?
As all others do, as all others do
As all others do , as all others do

I give it one more try, I give it all I can
I won't fail once more
Take the bull by the horns
Try my luck once more
To make things right
Again

Consolation

I put my arms around you, your body stalls and droops
I give you consolation but there's nothing I can do
Estranged I listen to a voice so scared
Like a martyr from another world, I no longer share

The anguish of a thousand days, the fear of life like everyone
Against there is no chance to swim, you have to simply drift along

Everyday the sting moves deeper, one day it will reach your soul
It's near so close at hand for everyone

No more consolation, no more aggravation
no more I am making changes for everyone

Your eyes are breaking, the curtain is to drop
You want her here but you never begged before
If I could only scream and silence your voice
I might achieve to wake you up and make you come to a stop
When my world is quiet and no one fills my head
I give it one more thought and put it back to bed

Everyday the sting moves deeper, one day it will reach your soul
It's near so close at hand I hope you understand

No more consultation, no more aggravation
No more I am making changes for everyone

Creature

A shadow glides above my plate
And all I see is birds migrate
Going south, remember me
When you fly above the sea
Autumn dies serene and slow
The lamp stands in a gentle glow
The silence rules, the evening grows
And the moon is far below

In me twist a sudden cramp
In my heart I hear it stamp
Marrow and blood encircle me
My blood stream chokes on gall and spleen
What will become of you
Since you have forsaken me
Not one tear I have in me
I am numb to my memory

I'll believe than that you're dead
First I felt bitter, I made amends
But I see you in a new light
You only have my contempt
So I'll believe than that you're dead
Second you're a loser, I spit on pretence

And I begin to wonder, and I begin to understand
That, you're a creature that breeds it's kind and dies
You're a creature that breeds and kind of dies
You're a creature that breeds it's kind and dies
You're a creature that breeds it's kind and dies
You're a creature that breeds it's kind and dies
You're a creature that breeds it's kind and dies
Dies

Crucified

You have changed, or were you always the same?
I give you up, it's time to stop
Nothing moves at all, it's like a sudden death
All these forgotten years are never coming back

The damage is done, it's all over now
So don't complain, don't mention it again
Is it you or is it me, who can't see?
It's way above our heads, we're up a tree

There's too much confusion, you leave me no choice
If I wanted anything from you
I would put a halt to it all

The path you chose is full of thorns
A one way street where no one goes
So now you crucify me, but why should I do the same?
For I promised nothing, it's all in vain

You have too much illusions, you want to be in control
And if I promised you anything in life is to keep an open mind to it all
Say what you want of me and I say what I want of you
I won't leave it up to anything
Maybe I am cruel to be kind, kind

Doubts

I ask myself, what is the meaning?
Of words like love, It may be dreaming
I may be dreaming, I may be dreaming
In fright of love , I holler
If not in love , I desire
Soon it will pass like a slow procession
From far away the shadow is rising

It's calling me, It's calling me, It's calling me, It's calling me

Will it be wrong or right?
Will it come with delight?
Will it come with a curse?
Will it be better or worse?
And sweet with every sound?
Will it stand on solid ground?
Save me from myself, darkness reigns at twelve

I am falling, I fall for you, I am falling

Dead water, dead sand, dark clouds will descend
Here where all broken hearts
Cherish solitude in the dark
Sometimes I picture you, sliding into substitutes
Not knowing if I'm strong
Not knowing what's begun

I fall for you, I fall for you

Falling Down

I want to tell you, I guess it's time
The way I acted was out of line
I have to calm myself once again
It's getting later, I'm losing time
I want to give you the reason why
It's the only thing on my mind

I want to tell you
I want to explain
I want to tell you, It won't happen again

I've got tears , I've got years in my eyes
Someday we all fall down, Someday we all fall down
a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

You mean the world to me, it crossed my mind
The days of knowing you , You've been too kind
You cast your pearls in front of me
Guilt is complex, when I face the facts
My naked indifference, I torn off heads
I never wanted these kind of debts

You've tried so hard to reach my core
Truth taste strange when I explore
I trip myself up when I try
Every nail is in it's place I cried...
I give in to sin too soon

Someday we all fall down

The Story Ends

Nothing feels right today
All what's left is nothing left to say
Each word seems so cold
And all stories seem told
How did it come this far?
Is this the way, the way things are?

Here's where the story fails
How did it come this far?
Here's where the picture pales
Is this the way things are?

No, I've never found the place
To charm your chill, to wrap you in
Whatever the books may say
You get only what's on your way
Beyond our words we crave for more
Another road, another open door

Here is where my life begins
Leaving this world of sense
Here is where fiction begins
Here is where nothing stands... still

When silence comes in, and creeps underneath the skin
If the lost word is lost and the spent word is spent
This is the time, this is the place where the story ends
Where the story ends
Where the story ends

This World

They say "trust on us"
They say "our time will come"
And "your dreams will come alive"
One day, we will find
No way to cross this line
It's where our worlds collide

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

Some say "we don't fit in"
"We're lost in another world"
Their truth will never hold
'Cause, one's heart is one's soul
We're living, day by day
Let them wither, till they're old and grey

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

I was blind, but now I see
We are destined for misery
If you're lost, you won't be found
There is no guiding hand of destiny

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

They paint the fabric of our lives, down and out
With nowhere to hide
What you miss, what you need, what you lack is a peace of mind, our worlds collide

Your Vice

Faith, in your hands, lost it's meaning, to my surprise
Expectations turned out wry, it makes me doubt about
The whole situation
I trust today, you have found the road to hell a little longer
You show me a hardened heart, and all you say is no consolation

I live on hope, I live on lies, you wear the guilt, your vice

Truth in your mouth are frozen words, leaving me darkness
These barren roads wear me out, a cold wind blows, it would raise the fallen
I trust today, you have found, the road to hell a little longer
You show me a callous mind and all you say is of no implication
I live on hope, I live on lies, you wear the guilt, your vice
I live on hope...

Jasmine And Rose

The air tastes just like you, it's the smell of June
A sensory shock that jolts my spirit, I slowly swallow you
A spray of little droplets, a fragrance so refined
The spirit of nostalgia is passing me by

Opium and poison, jasmine and rose
Dream of ambrosia, all flavours glow, it's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual, sensual

It all began so easy, with you on the floor
Against your willing flanks and knocking down your door
Until the day it crumbled, no game of win and lose
You told me nothing, you left me confused

Expelled like poison, a trim of the dose,
A limb disposed of, in a whim she chose,so rigorous, she's vigorous
she's vigorous, she's vigorous.

Heart of the hardest world, it's just the thought of you
All those variations, the air is full of you
The smell of summer rain, once more the scent of June
This sweet concentration, brings me back to you
Opium and poison
My taste of June, my taste of you
Inhale, inhale your trail
Opium and poison, jasmine and rose, dream of escape with me, all flavours go
It's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual

What was ours will drift away, a simple breeze on a humid day

Oh, nothing lasts, nothing lasts, nothing lasts, forever

Taste Of Medicine

The sky is low and the clouds are mean
His mood burns like kerosene
The air seems charged with a special qualm
It feels like Fahrenheit four five one, four five one
Malice burns like a constant pain
It will never be the same again
Her body is tense to the touch of fear
The terror screams ring my ears, pure and clear, pure and clear

It sends a shiver down my spine
Through these walls I hear her whine
It sends a shiver down my spine
I lost faith in humankind

A Throbbing sound, a suffering voice, pleading on and on and on
A taste of your medicine, a taste of your medicine

The worms were severed in his head
I tried to think of what, of what they said
The cleaving currents of dispute
Now leave you with a bad repute, another one, another one
You set your seam with your hands
The giving comes, the taking ends, the talking hands

It sends a shiver down my spine
Through these walls I hear her whine
It sends a shiver down my spine
I lost faith in humankind

She shouts, screams and cries; it's not his fault, keep him here
Come, hurry, run, run,
A taste of your medicine, a taste of your medicine

Undermined

One hundred million times I said it to you
There's nothing else I will do for you
How many times do you have to hear from me
There's nothing you can do to keep me here
All violations and degradations
All confrontations are decimating

I feel so sick inside, I feel so undermined
You hold me to the edge of a knife
You make me suffer inside

Your tone of voice seems amplified
You think I'll succumb to all of your lies
One hundred million times I tasted deceit
And no one cares but for one other release
Not one insight of me, not one can make you see
Not one can make you bleed, not hundred silence you
Carry on the lean machine, carry on your lean machine
I carry on with my big dream
Like the stowaway no one's seen

I feel so undermined, I feel so sick inside
And I am misunderstood for times
No one seems to realize

That I'll get what I want and I got what I wanted to do
And I get what I want to do
And I get what I want them to do

No one destroys my dream
No one will destroy my dream

Waterfront

Leave me alone, get out, out of my face
Leave me alone, get out, out of this place
Stop haunting me! Stop haunting me!
Stay in the shade, keep out of my way
What do you want of me? How low can you be?
Stop haunting me! Stop haunting me!

Just go anywhere the wind blows
Just go anywhere at all
Leave me at the waterfront

Your mouth big as the moon
You're like a hole for two
You know what I mean when I say
Strange beasts live in you
Stop haunting me! Stop haunting me!

Just go anywhere the wind blows
Just go anywhere at all
Leave me at the waterfront

There's so much dirt you spread
How low can you get, I am so sick of you
You keep coming back
Stop haunting me! Stop haunting me!
On the waterfront, on the waterfront
On the waterfront, on the waterfront
