SHADOWSIDE LYRICS

1. Nation Hollow Mind

Watch the kid die and be horrofied
Those monsters, they drag him, his belt is still tied

Be sick, be shocked, cry, call out his name
You pretend life is just a game

Cry and try to realine
You cannot deny

Let's change our name right now
To Nation Hollow Mind
Tell me what's going on
The party is running wild
Day after the kid died
How could you let it go?

Party nation brings the fun your way
Empty and shallow joy all of the day

Brainwashed people are everywhere
If it's not good news than they just don't care

Cry and try do understand
This won't ever end

Let's change our name right now
To Nation Hollow Mind
Tell me what's going on
The party is running wild
Day after the kid died
How could you let it go?

Try to educate your mind
What will you become without respect?

2. In the Night

I'm a threat to all your hopes and dreams
A danger to your lifelong precious schemes
You gamble and take your like to extremes
It's all on the line but can you still trust me?

I never wanted to break down this way
There's nothing to be done, you drive me insane

In the night
I will teat apart this shroud
I will scream your name out loud
I will feed the flames
In the night
I will spill it all out
I will shout it to the crowd
I will play your game

I'm addicted to this wild ride
A sick obessesion wanders trough my mind
Openly enslaved, my hands are tied
Shackled tight the secrets deep inside

I've had it way too long, I need to scream
I need to but don't want to be set free

In the night
I will tear apart this shroud
I will scream your name out loud
I will feed the flames
In the night
I will spill it all out
And will shout it to the crowd
I will play your game

When I try to show you what you've done
I read the pages I should have turned

In the night
I will tear apart this shroud
I will scream your name out loud
I will feed the flames
In the night
I will spill it all out
And will shout it to the crowd
I won't play your game

3. Last Thoughts

Mother - I hear you screaming in despair
Father - I wanna make you understand
These people around me can't help in anyway
Angels are coming, I hear them singing in my head

I do not fear
Don't cry for me
It's peaceful there
I wish you could see
I'll hold your hand
When I'm gone
I'll wait for you there

Now is the time for us all to move on
I'm flying so high above the world
Someday I know we'll meet and be just one
I'm trying to reach out to you

Brother - I need to help you on your way
You need to know you will always have me
Don't lose control, it's not worth losing your soul
Just have the patience to wait, your time will come

I do not fear
Don't cry for me
It's peaceful there
I wish you could see
I'll hold your hand
When I'm gone
I'll wait for you there

Now is the time for us all to move on
I'm flying so high above the world
Someday I know we'll meet and be just one
I'm trying to reach out to you

I don't know why it has to be like this
I miss the ones I leave
But I leave no kids and no one
To go on with my legacy
Don't cut short the mysery you fell
You'll be alright
Just try, why must you be in pain?

Now is the time for us all to move on
I'm flying so high above the world
Someday I know we'll meet and be just one
I'm trying to reach out to you

4. Hideaway

Hideaway - Hide before you fade away
Hideaway - Hide before they take you away

Hideaway to forget the truth long lost and left behind
To bury that forever
Run away just to hide what's lost and must be left aside
In the dawn it will be gone if
She just runs away, far away from all mistakes
And just lets the mask fall off of her face

The she'll kneel with the whole world
Laid on her shoulders
And hope she's strong enough
She will think she's dead
Think her faith is gone
But she'll get up one more time and
Scream to everyone

Hideaway - Hide before you fade away
Hideaway - Hide before they take you away

Whe it feels she will have to wait
Forever and a day
To release herself from all the pain
It is when she's closer to being delivered
Peace of mind
In the morning it will be gone if she just
runs away, far away from victories
Remember hoe the world is contradictory

She will get up one more time
and walk back home
In her beauty so sublime
She'll be idolized and carried on their shoulders
until they hunt her for the uncommited crime

Hideaway - Hide before you fade away
Hideaway - Hide before they take you away

Hey - what would you say if you were to blame
For everything I don't understand?
You'd say you know how it is but you were never like this
I'm the prey

Hideaway - Hide before you fade away
Hideaway - Hide before they take you away

5. Baby in the Dark

Whenever you feel there's no reason to trust that people ain't out for your life
It's when you break down in your bed, when lights go out

No one gets too close, there's no one that you love
You feel they cannot be allowed
To know what's really inside your head then you see that

Now when no one tells the truth that you've been searching for
The voices in your head will just speak louder

Baby in the Dark
So numb insine
Dreams torn apart

You're sipping your drink, feeling so hot
Trying way too hard to look so nice
Everyone's a friend, you're feeling alright

Think you're fun, think you are so cool
When you behave like someone who you are not
You are so scared to speak your real mind

Teh when you're alone it seems there is
No place to go
Your mind is blank and your are helpless like a

Baby in the Dark
So numb insine
Dreams torn apart
Baby in the Dark
Losing your mind
Freezing your heart

6. Ready or Not

I'm trying to tell you
I have gone so far
The stories that should be forgotten
Are still hanging on my mind

Trough a lifetime of
Make belive kind lines
Stuffed with your vain disdain
Shivery eyes, pure see-trough lies
From the kinf of Superbia reign

If my dreams are left to drown, would you care?
You'd stand proud in the crowd and walk away

Ready or not, here I come
Finding my way into this world
Gotta stand strong and take it all
One more day

Barefoot on the bloodstained road
You left me there on my own
Soaked in redness of my raw truth
Face what you have made me go trough

Fake smiles, backstabs, insincerity
Small talk and flattery
Everyone looks their best
With a dead heart in their chest

When you refuse to aid a friend, then you lose your soul
It's when you wash your hands clen, you fall

Ready or not, here I come
Finding my way into this world
Gotta stand strong and take it all
One more day

Can you stand proud
If you drown
You'll lose your soul
You know you'll fall

Ready or not, here I come
Finding my way into this world
Gotta stand strong and take it all
One more day

7. Memories

When it feels I've crossed the line and went back way too far
I stagger and I all and open the scar
I'm an errant on the run, a stumbler come undone
But I can't help if it's tattooed on my skin

I just happened to realize I belived in my own lie

All the memories I've put asied
I hid them byt they're still alive inside
All my past and all my history
Are hard to carry but I just can't leave behind

When I catch my myself with thoughts of people I once sought
I see I eas so blind and clean up my mind
Now I know well who they are, reality hits hard
Disguised myself in rage and never faced the pain

I just found out that I had to try to not submit to self-denial

All the memories I've put asied
I hid them byt they're still alive inside
All my past and all my history
Are hard to carry but I just can't leave behind

I just happened to realize I belived in my own lie

All the memories I've put asied
I hid them byt they're still alive inside
All my past and all my history
Are hard to carry but I just can't leave behind

8. Wings of Freedom

Late at night
Coming home after a hard day
And no one knows again
What's going inside my head

Streets are jammed
Still long hours till I'm there
Look trough thw window, it's all the same
There's no one who seems to care

No one will ask me what is going on
There's no such place like home
I'm only safe when I'm alone

Fly - when the tears of joy I cry
I'm blind with open eyes and
Far awat, in another land
I read my sense in life
Fly - with the wings of freedom I ...
And on my fall I rid myself of chains
That would hold me back to rise to
My peace inside

One more day I get up in the morning again
Work for a name without a face
In this stone jungle that I live

Everyday I do what doesn't matter to me
There is a small plant on my desk
I'm gonna take it and run away

The boss will ask me what is going on
Just get your work done
He won't miss me when I'm gone

Fly - when the tears of joy I cry
I'm blind with open eyes and
Far awat, in another land
I read my sense in life
Fly - with the wings of freedom I ...
And on my fall I rid myself of chains
That would hold me back to rise to
My peace inside

9. Time to Say Goodbye

I'm still in this darkened room
Nothing else but me and you
I see it all, even that picture on the wall

A drink, a kiss, I'm under your control
those hours made it all worthwhile
Never felt like this before

I can still hear the blues
And there's no tomorrow
Right now is eternity
No one can take that from me
I can still taste the wine
And hear your voice in my mind
My sweetest dream
It's time to say goodbye

I still look inside your eyes
I touch you face, see your smile
You know that I'm yours tonight

A wake-up call and I sleep alone
So cold, was so secure with you
But now you're gone

I can still hear the blues
And there's no tomorrow
Right now is eternity
No one can take that from me
I can still taste the wine
And hear your voice in my mind
My sweetest dream
It's time to say goodbye

10. Life Denied

Where was I when all my friends were bleeding
When my generation was out seething
Why do I never get to see outside?

All I see is blinding light in here
Trapped by windows and no one is near
I just feel the shade of condescension

So I try to reach out
For my spirit, my mind

Is there a way for you to understand?
I scream my lungs out but no one can hear
Show me a way to leave the quicksands of space and time
For my request for life was denied

I wanna play a part in reality
Know my creation has finality
I just want you to let me be

I need to fell disturbed and hurt and ill
Need to cry, to fear to feel
I just need you to let me try

So I try to reach out
For my spirit, my mind

Is there a way for you to understand?
I scream my lungs out but no one can hear
Show me a way to leave the quicksands of space and time
For my request for life was denied

No! Save me
No! Come back for me
No! Release me
Will you return the life I gave?

Is there a way for you to understand?
I scream my lungs out but no one can hear
Show me a way to leave the quicksands of space and time
For my request for life was denied

11. Dare to Dream

Your life is shit, you feel betrayed
You're down with nothing left to say
Crumbled in dismay

They will say you are insane
But look who's mad at journey's end
Your thoughts are just nonsense

They'll call you screwd-up mess
twisted genius with no future
That's why you'll keep on going
to prove them wrong at the end of the road

Dare to dream, to feel, to make it real
Dare to try and make it right
Dare to challenge everyone who sys it ain't for you

When you're shattered into pieces
They'll break you and then walk away
But you'll get up once again

You're called the freak, the geek, a weirdo
Thet's what they say but you don'y care
special is not made on large scale

They'll call you screwd-up mess
twisted genius with no future
That's why you'll keep on going
to prove them wrong at the end of the road

Dare to dream, to feel, to make it real
Dare to try and make it right
Dare to challenge everyone who sys it ain't for you
