The Game

(K. Hessling - 25/10-2008 for 8kHz Mono)

I know
What you’re feeling
It’s no secret that you do

You know
You can’t change me
It’s no way you are going to
(cause I know) x 2

It shows
What you’re thinking
But the rules will stay the same

And I know
What you’re playing
It’s time to save the game

--
Shame
It’s all the same
I wan't to play the game
I wan't to feel the pain
To play the game
--

Control
I am winning
On this battlefield I’m king

You lose
You might hit me
But I won’t gonna feel a thing
(not a thing) x 2

I’m gone
Way ahead
You got some catching up to do

And you’re wrong
It’s my highscore
Regardless of what we been through

Lost

Lost
(K. Hessling 13/09-2008 for 8kHz Mono)

Blinded by your silence
Deafened by my tears
The colours of deception
Ringing in my ears

The taste of your words
Smelling black to me
I can feel your intentions
Like the thunder I can see
____________
In your mind
Dead reckoning
I’m stumbling blind
Counting my paces

The unknown spaces
In your mind
Lost in your mazes
Scared of what I’ll find

In your mind….
_______________

Your thoughts defeat me
In this game I’m lost
But I’m still playing
Regardless of the cost

Don't Waste my Mind (Without You)

Don't Waste my Mind (Without You)
(K. Hessling & J. Barv - 2004 for 8kHz Mono)

She tries to look but she can’t see
She’s feeling stuck but she is free
She is this person inside me
Together as one now, it’s just we

My conscious self is not my own
I just want to be alone
Never again you’ll take control
Give me back my soul

-------
Stop the time I want to leave
Without you
Only time will see me through
Without you

Stop the time I want to leave
Without you
Only time will see me through
Without you
-------

She tries to look but she can’t see
She’s feeling stuck, she’s inside me
When your awake and I am gone
Your doing things I think is wrong

You’re my dark side you’re my fear
But I can’t cry, she has no tears
Again and again you’ll take control
Give me back my soul

Tom station

Tom station
(K. Hessling - 11/8-2008)

Avslängd på en tom station
ser jag tåget gå i natten
Lämnad kvar utan pardon
Utan fyr på okänt vatten

Alla svar som jag ej förstår
passar inte mina frågor
Utan kunskap jag ej förmår
att släcka mina lågor

Det sägs att tiden läker sår
men jag han ej förklara
Så snabbt nu ändå tiden går
så snabb kan ingen vara

Ensam vid den brända bron
Utan glädje minns jag skratten
Avslängd på en tom station
ser jag tåget gå i natten

The Weight of Wisdom

The Weight of Wisdom
(K. Hessling - 2006 for 8kHz Mono)

Knowledge without meaning
A language without words
Data without purpose
A secret voice that can’t be heard

What I know
Cannot be told
Forbidden information

---------------------------------------------
The weight of wisdom pulls me down
Chained by knowledge to the ground
Smothered by the secrets in my mind

The weight of wisdom holds me here
Chained by knowledge and by fear
What I know, cannot be shared by anyone
---------------------------------------------

Misinterpretation of this truth I cannot share
The hidden facts I can’t decline
It’s too much for the world to bear
It’s too much for the world to bear

Nothing

Nothing
(K. Hessling - 2004 for 8kHz Mono)

Have you seen the missing pages?
will you take a look inside?
You can read me like an open book
there’s nothing I can hide

Nothing
There’s nothing
Nothing inside.. that I can hide
Nothing inside.. that I can hide

Say, have you seen my movie?
Do you know how it will end?
Can you see my through the looking glass?
Though I know you are my friend

Nothing
There’s nothing
Nothing inside.. that I can hide
Nothing inside.. that I can hide

Condemned

Condemned
(K. Hessling - 2008)

The man in the mirror looks back at me.
I do not recall. Who is he?
The face is mine, but behind the eyes
a stranger’s gaze filled with lies.
I do condemn what’s in my mind.
I poke my eyes wish I were blind.
This man I see that is not me.
Again I wonder who is he?
