Tonight's Decision

01   For My Demons (05:43)

Well I'm here
And summer is gone I hear
So pray for me
As I now leave your town
When did I say this
I will never leave
I can't recall this
Moment in my life

You would never sleep at night
If you knew what I've been through
And this thought is all I have
To trust upon when light is gone

My problem was
That you kept me here too long
And today is when
We'll regret that I came by
When did I say this
I will never leave
I can't recall this
Moment in my life

You would never sleep at night
If you knew what I've been through
And this thought is all I have
To trust upon when light is gone

Life is full of darkness
And murderers come my way
Someday you will join them
And I will let you in

You would never sleep at night
If you knew what I've been through
And this thought is all I have
To trust upon when light is gone

02   I Am Nothing (04:37)

Tonight I'm nothing
It doesn't matter where I've been
Delay of reaction is
The unseen movie of this life

I remember one of my friends
Telling me to go ahead

Water on every side
There's a dead spot in my eye
If I listen close at night
There's something coming my way

Like someone called my name
But I didn't care to look that way
I just fixed my eyes into the crowd
It would have been strange to turn around
If you would tell me that I was someone
Then for a second I would think
Just like I would try to consider
How it would feel to know

I have to get on with this
It's a decision for tonight
Out to look for chances
It is murder of my mind

Once I was someone new
I was chosen for a while
Then with time I am changing
At least that is what they say
If you would tell me that I was someone
Then for a second I would think
Just like I would try to consider
How it would feel to know

What is worth with being here
I pray so often for a change
If you would tell me that I was someone
Then for a second I would think
Just like I would try to consider
How it would feel to know

03   In Death, a Song (04:51)

04   Had To (Leave) (06:03)

So you were with us until the last minute
And then you were gone from here
And I watched and I just figured out
That I will never see you again

I had a choice
You had to leave
Into the night
This was my choice

It's so hard to explain what I meant
When I said that I wanted you dead
But I saw you fuck up and I just can't get back
The feeling I had for you

I had a choice
You had to leave
Into the night
This was my choice

So I put all my strength into my only will
It was the only thing to do
And now I only regret that I cried
'Cause you would never do that for me

I had a choice
You had to leave
Into the night
This was my choice

05   This Punishment (02:46)

Will I be strong
No friends by my side
In a black room
No spirits abide

Who is judge now
When I wait for this
Punishment

When I come in
From where I've been
They raise their voices
On a given signal

06   Right Into the Bliss (05:04)

by a black road
giving a brief smile
something's on the way
forgotten for a while
and you try to speak this
without a voice down by a black road
we try to forget and try to make it through

someday we'll go
further from this right into the bliss
some night we'll try
to leave this place for another

they keep pushing me
so far from every chance
makes it so much harder
for me to carry on
so I try to speak this
without a thought down by a black road
we try to forget and try to make it through

07   No Good Can Come of This (04:24)

08   Strained (04:14)

end
sometimes a start for others
end
I don't know the word beginning

sometimes fear is power
like when I lost control
this time it has to come to an end

I'd like to try to live my life again
I'd like to see where I was going wrong

09   A Darkness Coming (05:02)

So near
So close
Something bad is seen
But I
Seem to be
The only one that can see
There is a darkness coming

And they
The others
They don't know a thing of what's next
But I'm not here to say
What should be done about this
I just lift my eyes to watch

I saw it coming
Something bad

So near
So close
Something bad is seen
But I
Seem to be
The only one that can see
There is a darkness coming

10   Nightmares by the Sea (04:16)

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore she wonders

"Don't know what you asked for"
"Don't know what you asked for"

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eyes
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go

I've loved so many times and I've drowned they all
From their coral graves they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window
I hear them call

"Don't know what you asked for"
"Don't know what you asked for"

Stay with me under these ways tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight

11   Black Session (09:14)

I sense infliction in the air
It's only me
I'm fucking up old times
It's a remembrance

Oh this
Black session in my mind
Oh the black

I was too weak to fight
Once more I let go
It is a black session
An invitation of sorts

Oh this
Black session in my mind
Oh the black

I keep on living in this my only wish
That life will be good someday
I keep on losing my sleep because of this
Seems so hard just to stay

So if you come by just this last time
I'll be here
And I will talk to you like
If this had never been

Oh this
Black session in my mind
Oh the black
