Loving on Standby

Dogger Dog If you were to mix the softer side of Riverside and some of the aggression from the debut by Demians, Isos is what would come out the other end. Except for "Relapse," the only song I don't like, the rest of the album is lush, melodic, well-produced, and impeccably executed. Definitely a great new find! Favorite track: Loving on Standby (Part 1): I'll be waiting.

I used to live my life Playing a game I guess I never though that someone like you Could bring in such a mess And I'm not used to being So powerless And I know I can't fast forward things But I can't imagine a world without you now I don't want to waste this chance I don't want to mess things up So I'll be waiting here I'll be waiting for you It's been half a year now Trying not to complain Still trying to figure out How you can keep me in chains Something's not right Something slips out of my mind I'm caught in an inner fight Consumed my time I'll be waiting for something to come I'll be waiting for something more Than this masquerade, I want to see life through your eyes I'll be loving you on standby I know you owe me nothing And I never pretended that you were mine But I'm just sick of waiting I'm like a ghost in your life No photographs, no trace of me No one knows about you and me It's been almost a year now I'm going down below But I'm still clinging to This flicker of hope This riddle consumes me I ponder day and night Trying to give a meaning To this useless fight I'll be waiting for something to come I'll be waiting for something more Than this masquerade, I want to see life through your eyes I'll be loving you on standby This is a story among many others But it is my story And I want it to be known I want to reveal who you really are This is my story And here it begins

You always showed me The face I wanted so see This mesmerizing perfection Just blinded me "It ain't a way to live" So they say "This time, you can't forget, you can't forgive" They tell me "She has reached the point of no return" Yeah, you sure did I hope you enjoyed watching me crash and burn Cause now, you've gone too far You've gone way too far… You keep denying These actions of yours But I won't bite On your lies anymore This poisoning hope kills me Slowly I'm getting closer to the edge Of insanity I collapse under the weight of anxiety I'm trying to hide my scars But you still feed on my insecurity Now you've gone too far You've gone way too far… no matter what you do or say… anyway… You've gone way too far… Keep playing with me Keep bleeding me dry Lie to me, cheat on me You know that I'm still loving you on standby Take me for a fool Make me dance Break my heart for good You won't be given another chance Do your worst, be cold As much as you can be Wreck my mind, burn my soul So I can hate you… finally You've gone way too far… But somehow this betrayal is all I needed to get through You've gone way too far… And this betrayal is a gift of life...

Number Two 07:17
I'm standing, confused In the middle of an empty room I've been waiting for so long For flowers that never bloomed Feels like we never shut the door Unfinished work, inner gloom Those memories will remain (forever) See? I'm still staring at the moon (remembering your smile) I thought the fire in your eyes had vanished in the sky but now it's burning bright I thought this fire had died under the deluge of time but now it's burning bright brighter than ever And if what you say is true And you promise me I'm done waiting for you And if I do come back to you I don't want to be a number two (again) I cannot move on I'm stuck between two states of mind I'm tired, exhausted, my feet are burnt By the fervid sands of time It's now that you show up? Now that I'm dried up Was the answer really that hard to find? I had to overcome my weaknesses Just to know that you were not blind So please tell me there is more up ahead I don't want that to be another «last time» I thought the fire in your eyes had vanished in the sky but now it's burning bright I thought this fire had die under the deluge of time but now it's burning bright brighter than ever And if what you say is true And you promise me I'm done waiting for you And if I do come back to you I don't want to be a number two (again) I've been through this before… twice now There's no strength left inside of me These are the last miles I can walk; I'm almost there But… will you be there for me? I don't want to be an «I» anymore Now I want to be a «we» I need your help to get over this impasse And maybe then we can be happy Maybe

I have to tell you It much harder Than I thought It would be I have to let go I know that I have to let you breath I have to let you be I need to go back At least for now But I want to be there When you need me I just want to feel Your soft hands on my skin I want to taste your lips And feel your eyes in mine I just want to know If it's worth all the pain But I know I can't Can't have it right now Cause there's no room For me Inside your collapsed world And I am still waiting between Two states of mind And I am still waiting for the time When you'll let me in Inside your collapsed world For our own sake I think I must take My distance At least for now Well I say that But in fact I don't really know What's best for us both I just want to feel That you’re here Feel your heartbeat against my head Just want to feel That you're with me Here and now… But I know I can't Can't have it right now Cause there's no room For me Inside your collapsed world And I am still waiting between Two states of mind And I am still waiting for the time When you'll let me in Inside your collapsed world No matter what comes up I'm still holding on to you Still waiting for you To make some place for me Inside your collapsed world And I am still waiting between Two states of mind And I am still waiting for the time When you'll let me in Inside your collapsed world But still I'm standing I'm here waiting For something that's not Likely to happen I wish I’d have my place Inside your collapsed world

I'm staring at the ceiling Of that disquieting place Can't describe this feeling How did I wind up here? Oh yeah… I remember now I woke up in this stretcher I think I just passed out Overwhelmed by anxiety I know it has to stop now It's gone way too far You've already taken enough from me So why can't you leave my mind I'm trying to escape From this endless maze Now won't you leave my mind (There's nothing left for you to take) I ponder About all those things that you told me And I have reason to believe That you weren't that honest with me I never saw it coming I just don't know what to think Was it all just a lie? I can't believe you did this to me (You seemed so sincere when you said that you loved me) And you'll carry on Even knowing that you broke me Even knowing that you've taken the best of me So why can't you leave my mind I'm trying to escape From this endless maze So why can't you leave my mind I'm trying to reclaim All the things that were once mine Now won't you leave my mind There's nothing left for you to break

Relapse 08:00
I'm mesmerized, just too blind too see My soul is scorched by morbid jealousy Anxiousness is taking over me I'm losing track of who I used to be And I fall again I'm driven back into your web Will this ever end Won't you stop poisoning my mind And when I finally collapse You just give me a hand Oh sweet relapse I'm running right into the same trap again I slowly fade away While you're shining in decay I erase myself so you can stay Oh you, you just come back in my time of need You're the one pulling the strings You're the cause of all this suffering Paranoia has become my land Insomnia is now my kingdom I'm stuck inside this stronghold of fear Trapped inside the dungeon of your lies I can't sleep I'm exhausted I can't breath I'm suffocating This obsession is filling me with hatred I'm becoming what I've always hated Your viciousness turns me into a monster I'm caged inside of me, so tormented But I fall again I'm I really that weak I just don't understand How much these feelings inflict me I slowly fade away While you're shining in decay I erase myself so you can stay Oh you, you just come back in my time of need You're the one pulling the strings You're the cause of all this suffering Oh you, you still hunt me in my dreams I'm floating in between These nightmares seem so real

I wrote you a letter While you were gone… so far away from me I had the time to learn… a few things Some things you have done… I still can't believe it What a struggle I never though it'd be so hard Just to knock at your door and fall face to face With your illusive perfection one last time I never thought I'd recognize you But you were exactly as I remembered… At least from the outside And when my eyes met yours… I knew that you knew That my heart would not take it anymore Just read this letter Read it to the very end For it is the last thing You'll ever get from me This is the last time you'll see me falling These are the last words I'll be writing down No I won't grieve for you anymore I won't bleed for you anymore This is the last time you'll see me drowning I'll forget all of those tormenting feelings No I won't crawl for you anymore I won't fall for you anymore
