FIGHTERS THEY BLEED

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

Mind is beginning to function again.
Body slowly healing. Senses settling down a bit.

Tensions weakening. Life slowly begins to make sense.
The Chinese say: “Good medicine is always bitter.”

The stakes are high. There’s a life on the line.
This is my time. My time to shine.

Self control is never an easy task. Live in the now.
Don’t dwell on the past. Carefully cut down on the milligrams.

Fighters they bleed.
And I’m regaining my strength to fight on.

COLD AND BLACK

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

When there’s no one left to trust or confide in.
Promises turn to dust. It’s easy to give in.

Back-stabbed.
Kinda feels like I’m trapped.
And no one gives a crap.
Remove these knives from my back.

They have failed. They’ll have to try harder.
I am still here. Still got my pride.
Dignity and the will to fight.
Loyalty. Respect. Basic intellect.
Don’t let them infect
but crush them as if they were insects.

Back-stabbed.
Kinda feels like I’m trapped.
And no one gives a crap.
Remove these knives from my back.
Blood’s turning cold and black.
Betrayal pierced my heart and left it to die.
Bitterness and hate. Praying that the virus wont infect me.

BATTLES OF THE MIND

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

I don’t want to go back.
Please don’t lock me up.
Just give me some time.
Don’t tell me that I’m stuck
inside a concrete wall.
Cannot move at all.
Cannot shower or eat
and I almost can’t sleep.

When the shit goes down.
It might come down to pride.

The battles of the mind
are not easily defined.

I’ve become a parasite.
or so I’ve been told.
I am crazy and I can’t be controlled.
This demon is sucking up my energy
and releasing it onto the ones I want to protect.

The battles of the mind
are not easily defined

I am edgy like hell.
Suffocating on the rage and anger.
Delusion never seemed so real.
Standing on an edge and I’m about to lose myself

FLAMING HALO

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

The change is strange.
Never felt this naked before.
Vulnerable to the core.
I’ve become the easiest target.
Now I cut off all the long-fingered hands.
They’ll never ever get to steal again.
No role models or false friends.
All heroes will fail you in the end.
And a thousand questions kept alive by a billion lies.
I’ll never ever get to close my eyes again.

My flaming halo burned so bright that I lost my sight.
And the shame of failure fueled
the hate that could’ve sealed my fate.

I’ve paid my price for what I’ve wronged.
Still alive. Still going strong.
Learning from past mistakes.
Living through heart aches.
The choices that we make.
The steps that we take.
The bones we break.
The nights we wake.
When our bodies shake.
We pay the price.
I am flame. I am fire.
The smallest spark can be a light in the dark.
I’m untamed. A fighter.
And a tormented soul can become whole.

FUEL CELLS

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

From the first to the last
Corroded components in a vessel run amok.
Extreme instability thrives in this vulture flock.
Can this line-up devour the blast?
Back-stabbing. It’s all gone bad.
The boundary line’s drawn membrane thin.
Widen it. Just don’t know where to begin.
Embrace it motherfuckers. This is all we have.

Nervous. – The sense of failure makes me sweat logic away from my brain.
Anxious. – My stomach ties knots and turns as blood flow rips through my veins.
Tension. – Expanding. Arching. Exploding. Igniting the core ablaze

As we burn.

Fall down and descend. We won’t leave ourselves and hanging.
Beaten and weak we will be standing.
Up against ’till the end.
Don’t expect you to understand. Our answer to an everlasting energy source.
Ones giving is the other ones taking. Radiation is might and grand.

Guilt.
The flowers fade in the sun as the weeds grow strong and live on. – Blame.
Blades cut the skin. It stings and burns but heals into scars.
Forgiveness. – A necessity for all to live. To see another day.

As we burn in the fire we created. – And when it burns we won’t hate it.
‘Cause this is the heat that keeps us alive.
This pain is energy
and we’re still alive.

We’re still on fire!

This energy breathes. Lives on instinct.
It’s unwilling to be restrained.
So let the fuel flow. And with-hold control.

KILLING BIRTH

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

The fear of failure consumes the passion.
The fear of death is killing the birth of something greater.

Needles and blades.
Pull down the shades.
Light a lonely candle and blow out your brains.

The earth is spinning. – Hearts still beating.
Without purpose. – Without meaning.
The fear of death is killing birth. – Zombie existence.
Nothing is real. – We talk and think.
Because we can not feel.

Fragile machinery. – Plastic scenery. – Killing the mind.
Like snapping a twig. – Brain in a box.
Silence the talk. – Mind in a blender
Give in and surrender.

White wash the brain. – Free thinkers are insane.
Looks like a mannequin. – Too fat or too thin.
Born in a cage. – Thrown onto a stage.
Blind folded and burned at the stake.

The earth will still spin. – The rich will eat the poor.
From lust and deceit. – New life is born.
To be beat up and pushed down. – And stepped on and fucked with.
Stereotyped. Wound up tight. Robotized and circumcised.

Trapped in their own heads. – Confused and scared.
Interpret it right. – Inner light and eye sight.
Are we all born alone – To die on our own?
Flesh to dust. – Bone to stone.

Theories of conspiracy. – Crazy calculations.
Self effacing humanity. – Unreal reality.

CUT THROUGH

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

Consciousness has a habit of failing.
Memories lost in a well of forgetfulness.
Leaving an empty void in my chest.
So here I come. Completely alone.
To claim my throne. From which I was thrown.
With a face made of stone and a scepter of bone.

I’ve cut through every obstacle that stood in my way
and the stench from the corpses that I’ve slain.
Are but a sweet scent of success
and the strength that I’ve gained.

This struggle. This constant fighting.
Exhausting. Excruciating.

Bleeding for the right to claim what’s mine.
Rightfully. Honestly done my time.
Stared into the face of death.
It scare me not but has made its point.

Live life alive.
Our time here is but a loan
take what you’re given and give what you’ve taken.

RAIN OF KNIVES

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

This heart is hurting. – There is an empty space. – A hollow void.
Which nothing can replace. – Foolish hope. – Silly dreams. – Taken away. – Left astray.
Life has left. – Now left is death. – I’m in between. – Or so it seems.

Rain of knives. – Wind of lies. – I’ll stop for some time. – When someone dies.

Neither dead nor living. – That would make me nothing. – I try to cope.- With no luck nor hope.
Nothing lasts. – Everything fades. – Soon this too will be. – In the past. – In the shade. – I will not burn.
What I’ve learned. – Turn love into ash. – I will embrace. – The warmth inside.
Every time I see your face.

SLITHER

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

Sobriety never applied to me. Society is a lie to me.
Acceptance is limited. Pedosex and incest.
Self-esteem comes and goes. Self-respect is gone.
Love is lost. Lust is love. Love is trust. Trust no one..

Guys look like girls. Girls work like guys.
We’re all controlled from birth ’till we die.
The media still feeds us their truths and their lies.
No TV unless something dies.

Happiness out of reach without a pill.
Happiness out of reach lest blood is spilled.
Which version of god suits you best:
Vengeful, loving, sadist, caring?

Respect is misinterpreted. Fear has become the most common term.
Life is just a struggle to survive. Well I don’t wanna just survive.
I wanna live! A real life!

ACID

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

We’re all prisoners of our fate.
Bricks in the puzzle of life.
Fucking cliché!
Doctors. Psychiatrists. Break down. Implosion.
Held captive inside the borders of our mind.
What a sorry excuse of an existence.
Escape. This mind rape. Control. Down fall.

So what’s your poison?
Your addiction?
What’s trying to kill you?
(#2: What owns your soul?)
(#3: Who’s your god now?)
What’s your secret?
Your dirty little lie?
What is eating you?
What have you got to hide?

Acid!

Been pissed off for so many years now.
Trying to cope with life.
But the thought doesn’t attract me.
So I expand.

CHAINED AND RESTRAINED

Lyrics: Sic
Music: Sic

Dirty. Keep falling in. IT tickles under my skin.
Come on. Do it again. This is a fight you can’t win.
The struggle. The voices inside. I try to push it aside.
The steps. Can’t say that I’m proud.
You know what I’m talking about.

The junks. The punks. The drunks. The cursed ones.

Damn the blood that flows through these veins.
Existence chained and restrained.
Fucked up. Some people can’t stop.
Keep pushing the envelope until they drop.

Cleanliness. Why can’t I stay clean.
Everything that I’ve done and seen.
Temptation. Frustration. Curiosity.
Blocked conscience. Blinded by envy.

Liar. I’ve become a master. I can even lose to myself.
Defyer. Stubborn mule-headed fuck. Unable to learn
unless I’ve been proven wrong.
The knees. They have to be broken. Deny and bow down to none.
The pride. It stands before fall. My worst enemy is the devil in me.

The junks…

Damn the blood…
