1. Controller
Go ahead and rise above, see how far you get on top. Held down just to impair you. We know who's ahead of the game-You
know who'll get the blame. You're in the grip of the controller. Do you really want it all back? See how far you get on top.
Held down just to impair you. It's
the fear that you cant do right. See how you lose in your life - Cut down, they will impale
you. Can you really get it on track? You tried to make it all stop. Time will tell how much they denied you. You just got burnt
by the controller. You'll never know how to react. Your sucked to the very last drop. Time will tell what has been denied you.
Are you clear in your mind and sight? Are you clear right out of your head? Just angry at the things that have failed you. So you
want to get it all back. You tried to make it all last. Tied down to control you.
2. Caprice
Put me right through the ringer run around with eyes on whatever. Cut me right down to half of a member-Mended back given
no hope. Scheming minds new intentions-leave it broke flat begging for more You've made up your mind Whatever comes to
your head can never rely (on nothing) Everything points to the wrong direction. Everything leading to any early decline. Can't
take this any longer-I'll tell you right now, hate's on the rise. Just can't deal with anymore wavering-Can't fit into anymore lies.
Take your eyes to a brand new picture. Reach for one more impulse buy. It's me the loser, did everything wrong. Go ahead
with all your craving. Go ahead yearn for more.
3. Rude Awakening
Another rude awakening. The hard life that's been our school. More of a cruel day's reckonings. Our prime time used up too
soon. There is no kindness to waste- Why help those crying for more? It spins you around, takes you for a ride. What is the
point to even try? Somehow got to learn to accept the rejection. The tired thoughts from troubling. A weary mind from
worrying. Your constant fears upon wakening. Your real life left in your dreams.
4. Unfortunately
Confusions born here every day, spinning circles upon my brain. No idea which way to go, roam around without a home. So
fucking lost, invalidated. So brought down demasculated, all the joy just disappeared; another bed full of tears. Coming apart
at the seams, wanna be alone for the rest of my years. Don't come inside, leave it to me to go on unfortunately. Hope
dissolved, degenerated. The negative has penetrated. No wish for sympathy. Its all a mystery to me All my wishes evaporated,
insecurities saturated. So many flaws reappeared. The wrong way I tend to steer.
5. Face Value
You've never come close to seeing what I've always had to face. Image blatant and obvious-What's there more to assess?
Never looking beyond the frontal-All your present fears. I hope to never be caught again by the visions too clear. Erase it.
Deface it. Conceal it. Just take it for the face value- Concealment, nonetheless. Just take it for the face value- You never know
what you may get. A wise man carried on about what you see is what you get. I've peeled off covers, revealing what I want to
forget. Why not go base yourself on simple visages. Scarring the complexion or scratching the surface.
6. Avenue Of The Finest
Why should I devalue my position? Do I need to be a part of the fold? Don't need any sort of reason. I'll just go out and follow
my own path. Take note of this: Anyone can trip. Take note of this: You can walk with the best. Walking with the finest. Why
should I sell myself short? Should I lower my ideals and standards? Must I settle for hand me downs? I deserve the best my
mind can do. I can do. I think I know which road to go. It leads up to the very top. I don't need your sense of direction. You
can just stumble on and on.
7. Slicing
Never had a thought so how can you see me? A man without a mind can never judge evenly. Forever passing judgment
compared to a fraud. I'll never pare up. I'll only distort your sight; only distort your sight. It don't matter, knife in your hand. I'll
cut you down with a knife in my head. It don't matter knife in my hand. You can never mend it with a knife in your head. I want
a slice, can I carve evenly? A man with no part moves so passively. Can I cut you up, can I say you're a fraud? You'll never
pare up, I'll only destroy your size.
8. Without Hope
I just know its all gone wrong, feeling all the pressures can't weather the storm. 'Cause I kept myself in a cage all wound up
and filled up with rage. Forgive oneself of nothing at all-Pounding my head against the wall. Guilt ridden and bound to lose.
Puncture my wounds, won't see the truth. I looked in the mirror, what did I see? One man bitter with apathy. The whole thing
turned out to be a joke. But I'm not laughing. I'm without hope. Its never well thought out, just my instant demise. Haste and
hatred my inner desire. its all so bitter the hurt inside. Haste and hatred my inner desire. Ruptured I've lost it all. My heart
ripped out can't stand at all. 'Cause I've cost my brain to never relax. Picking at all the torturous facts.
9. Mansruin
My whole life counting dimes worried about uncertainty. So I roll the dice before I die, maybe get a little for me. I bet it, bet it
all- Threw everything into a pile. Regret it? Got nothing at all, no guarantees, no pieces of the pie. Got the eyes on you, black
eyes on you-Ruin it for you if they could. Eyes on you, black eyes on you- Mansruin for his own good. High life all the
highlights covered on the plays of the day. Baked out, burnt right out of it, breath fried beyond repair. I tasted it, devoured it,
ballooned right out of sight. A done deal dealt out by fate scored myself a bite of nonlife Fucked out, fucked out of everything,
drained at the end of each day. A red cent, no pennies from heaven taken for a chump for life.
10. Innocence Gone
I had a new premonition. I have found the nonlight. I've had a brand new renewal of sight. Do you need a new genuflection?
Do you wanna make a different pact? You've got to get in with the facts. It's the end-innocence gone. You're whole meaning
becomes undone. Are you waiting for your resurrection? Do you wanna make a different pact? You've got to get in with the
facts. You've made an art of treachery. You can snake right out of anything. I've said I won't do not a thing. To the double
negative you can only agree.
11. Dark Signs
Be careful what you want, it may be what you get. Careful of yourself, you may just kill yourself. Watch out for all the ruin that
you ask for. Being trapped below, is that what you need Careful what you get, it may just get you back. How much more?
Relive the nightmares of the past. Think twice about the ruin that you ask for. Still ignoring all the warnings you see? A lifetime
wronged you. Dark Signs warned you. Feel me self destruct You're gonna get exactly what you're gonna get. You suffer more
and more and then you blame yourself. Those signposts that point to disaster-ignore the signals, you get what you see.
12. Close The Door
Waiting impatiently to put together the facts. Wishing for the best to move slightly against the grain. Upwards. Onwards, I hope
I can rebound and flow. I just hoped for one more chance to prove what I can do. You gotta suffer the facts. You gotta face
the act. The time for this is true. I gotta close the door on you. It's all come into view. I gotta close the door on you. Hating all
similar to all that I've been through. Harping on all particulars that have given me pain. From the onset, the downset, frustration
taken its course. Involving all my bitter thoughts in everything I do.
13. Proud Division
A clue from knowledge: Ward off the casualties The mindless banter of all the derogatory Its the best thing that could happen
even with all the dread. It world feel so good to see the back of your head Got my own sign, my own line To hell with the
doubt Got my own sign, my own line. You gotta hear me out. Got my own sign my own line divisive and proud Its my proud
division that will free me Piece together the madness with a clue to all the wrong. Follow the right way never wanna be wrong.
Pledge allegiance to all your own beliefs in accordance to your own individual breed It feels so good to see the back of your
head.

Крутой альбом, не хуже предшественника. Электроники стало побольше, жаль, что после выхода пластинки группа распалась, возродившись лишь в 2002 г. Последующие альбомы какие-то безликие.
