It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect,
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide I'm lonely,
the echo calls my name.
Chorus:
If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me.
Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in. (x2)
The water drops just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven't rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty stream
Burn my efforts in the end it means NOTHING.
Chorus.
These Thoughts... burned a hole in my heart
These Thoughts... what keep me feeling.
These Thoughts... burned a hole in my heart
These Thoughts... what keep me feeling.
Chorus.
Leeches
Like leeches
"Ignorance we trust".
If you say this way, I'll take that way
Fuel for the fire on wich I thrive.
Chorus:
Spit me out
I'm glad I don't belong
Save me the speech
You'll be forgotten and gone.
It burns, it rips, it hurts...
Leeches, they preach to us
Words of wisdom from blocked minds.
Chorus:
Spit me out
I'm glad I don't belong
Save me the speech
You'll be forgotten and gone.
It burns, it rips, it hurts
They make you belive your turn
The chance of a lifetime,
How does it fell to be alive?
A tear for the poet that can't be heard
(And) praise the artist that steals.
Chorus.
Shot for shot
Let the bullet penetrate me
Embrace me
Tell me stories of golden gods
The precision in your voice
Pierce the walls that I've build
Your eyes reach deep in ME.
Take a chance
They don't come much bigger than this
Dark Star spend another day with me
A dead surface that doesn't reflect
The storm underneath
Take a chance
Bring me the calm.
... And it leaves NOTHING
Expose the dark side,
Aching and emotional,
Expose the dark side,
Impossible to tame.
Chorus:
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me. (x2)
Throw yourself into the eye of chaos
Infiltrate me
Sneak out before I awake
Take out the trash and burn it
Try to find a beautiful place to lay
These fragile bones of mine.
Chorus.
... And it leaves NOTHING
Expose the dark side,
Aching and emotional,
Expose the dark side,
Impossible to tame.
Chorus.
Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame.
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
A star among hypocrites
The melody of our time.
So say goodbye to the world
We're the dead that walk the earth.
Chorus:
Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster!
What decides when you've lost a war
When the first man falls
Or when they've erased it all.
We're numb to feel
The downfall starts here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear.
In times of make belive,
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
Cause I'll die too.
So say goodbye to the world
We're the dead that walk the earth.
Chorus.
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke,
Winter will come TWICE.
Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame.
Chorus. (x2)
We are ordinary people,
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We're just living in differnt lies
We're just live in differnt lies
We're just live in differnt lies!
Chorus:
They scream, You scream, I scream
We scream but no one listens.
Abuse to feel superior,
Is it working for you? (x2)
We are ordinary people,
In a world build on stress
When we build walls around us
We end up in a mess.
Chorus.
Rushing through 30
Getting older every day By two
Drawing pictures of innocent times
Could you add colour inside these lines?
Chorus:
I want you to lead me,
Take me somewhere.
Just don't want to live
In a dream one more day. (x2)
Sure it would change my perspective
I'm certain I would change today
I'm certain it would change our ways
Would things fall into place?
Chorus.
Take me somewhere.
Just don't want to live
In a dream one more day... (x2)
The yesterday we loved.
Speak of tomorrow.
The burden of man is that time never takes a pause
We live from monday to sunday
But we forget what it means
Then a ghost comes to visit
And we tell stories from tabloids.
Call all your friends,
Watch fake photographs
From a made up vacation.
Speaking in tongues about ancient artifacts.
Chorus:
We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie rape steal and murder
To make tonights headlines.
Trust the system.
Make your contribution.
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get, the stronger they become.
Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
Before it all crumbles.
Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
Gather in front of the TV.
Exploding sympathy.
The weatherman our trust,
Our punctual company
Chorus.
Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
Before it all crumbles.
Compassion.
Confession.
It's all a compromise.
Dedication.
Domination.
Please define the lines.
Irritation.
Innovation.
Pair up to sucomeclarityeed.
Totaliation.
Termination.
Fake smiles and greed.
Chorus:
Surrender to nothing.
Or run, as far as you can
I'm trying to hold on to what I belive in,
But my heart is in a coma!
Aggression.
Attention.
A need to be seen.
Directed.
Disrespected.
Stand in a line to be thankful OBSCENE.
Chorus. (x2)
I'm trying to hold on to what I belive in,
But my heart is in a coma!
The black hole forever mine.
I need fear.
Push me out
Ohh be brave
Show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that I have?
If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.
These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.
Feed the lie.
Force the reason.
Leave me in doubt.
Need some motivation
Chorus:
It's in my hands.
The sky is so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.
Nailed to the floor
Paralyzed
Emotions drifting
Though the new
If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.
These knees, they bleed for you.
Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.
Chorus. (x3)
When all is said and done
We'll know what's right, what's wrong
But does it matter then
When all is said an done.
When all is dead and gone
We'll know who lost, who won
But does it matter then
When all is dead and gone.
Chorus:
See everything go
End of all things
The life that we know
Shift your point of view
You've been warned
This one way ticket is for you.
When all the lights go out
We know what life's about
But does it matter then
When all the lights go out.
When all the laughter dies
We'll see nothingness and realize
But does it matter then
When all the laughter DIES.
Chorus.
When all the laughter dies
We'll see nothingness and realize
But does it matter then
When all the laughter DIES.
Chorus.
In a disaster story
A central confilct of primal rage
Usual sort of desperation
Characters remain the same.
Chorus:
NEVER CUT YOU OUT,
I CUT YOU IN
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts in me, too.
Walk on broken glass
Is the pain safe at the end?
All the elements in life's complexity
Make our struggle infinite.
Chorus.
All the elements in life's complexity
Make our struggle infinite
Chorus.
I CUT YOU IN
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize
It hurts less I cut you in.
Vanishing light
The end of a compromise
In fury, in rage
A dream will demenish.
Behind enemy lines
Learn to survive
Find a way to clone
Make friends and place a to call home.
Chorus:
Take a picture and jump before we crash. (x2)
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
You're on the easy route
Money up front?
There's no doubt.
Chorus.
It's so sad
But pay no mind!
Chorus.
