Remember when Hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears Ive shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But Heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done cause its not enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea, but its never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
Its like a brand new doomsday
The embers still glow when Im sober
The gold in the flame burns brighter now
I have to rebuild, now its over
Maybe now Im lost, I can live
Souls dont break, they bend
But I sometimes forget
I have to do this for you
And the only way out is through
Yeah, death is an open door
Words the prophets said
Still swimming through my head
Now theres no stars left in the sky
Cause this well will never run dry
What if I completely forget?
What if I never accept?
Cause when you fade away
Its like a brand new doomsday
Yeah
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done cause its not enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea, but its never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
Its like a brand new doomsday |
Now the oceans have drained out
Can I come up for air?
Cause Ive been learning to live without
And Im fighting with broken bones
I wasnt ready for the rapture, were only passing through
But these words, they mean nothing to me
I know that time will mend this fracture, Ive been lost in a maze
And every route I take, leads right back to you
Now the oceans have drained out
Can I come up for air?
Cause Ive been learning to live without
And Im fighting with broken bones
Now the skies have been blacked out
Ive got to find my way
Cause its been raining but theres a drought
And Im fighting with broken bones
Ive been searching through the wreckage
But its like standing in the eye of a storm
When will I finally get the message?
Some things are broken beyond repair
This is my cross to bear
My own meaningless catastrophe
I never had the time to prepare
Because I never knew that all my nightmares could come true
Now the oceans have drained out
Can I come up for air?
Cause Ive been learning to live without
And Im fighting with broken bones
Now the skies have been blacked out
Ive got to find my way
Cause its been raining but theres a drought
And Im fighting with broken bones
Ive spent my fair share
In the deepest depths of despair
Cause I was too lost down there to care
I wasnt braced for the fallout
I wasnt braced for the fallout
Ive been searching through the wreckage
But its like standing in the eye of a storm
When will I finally get the message?
Some things are broken beyond repair
Now the oceans have drained out
Can I come up for air?
Cause Ive been learning to live without
And Im fighting with broken bones
Now the skies have been blacked out
Ive got to find my way
Cause its been raining but theres a drought
And Im fighting with broken bones |
As above, so below
Dismantled piece by piece, whats left will not decease
As within, so without
The seasons bring relief, let me live and die in peace
I will be consumed, returned into the earth
Only passing through, nothing left to hold on to
Like the thaw against the snow, into the undertow
Cut the chord and cast me out, and cast me out
Its a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Death is an open door
Its a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Decay is the only law
As above, so below
Dismantled piece by piece, whats left will not decease
As within, so without
The seasons bring relief, just let me live and die in peace
Change, and everything is change, nothing can be held on to
To the degree that you go with a stream
You see, you are still
You are flowing with it
But to the degree you resist the stream, then you notice
That the current is rushing past you and fighting you
So swim with it, go with it
And youre there, youre at rest
Itll wear you down through skin and bone, through skin and bone
Its as if my mind has a mind of its own, has a mind of its own
Itll wear you down through skin and bone, through skin and bone
Its as if my mind has a mind of its own, has a mind of its own
When my heart skips two beats...
I am hidden deep, fast asleep
...The sea will part where oceans meet
Finally complete
Its a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Death is an open door
Its a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Decay is the only law
Swan song, a declaration of endlessness
I swear I will not look back as I return into the black
When the veil lifts, how will I know, how will I know?
Will I see God?
As above, so below
Dismantled piece by piece, whats left will not decease
As within, so without
The seasons bring relief, just let me live and die in peace
You cant hang on to yourself
You dont have to try not to hang on to yourself
It cant be done, and that is salvation
Memento Mori – be mindful of death |
The weight of the world is resting on thin ice
When the surface breaks, will I find paradise?
As I freeze to death, left to reflect
What a waste of time I was in retrospect
Id take a leap of faith, but Id lose my nerve
In the end, Ill get the hell that I deserve
Im always gone with the wind
Crawling in and out of my mind
God knows I lost all my faith
A sickness with no remedy
Except the ones inside of me
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
Do you remember when you said to me: My friend, hope is a prison?
Hope is a prison
Of all the patterns that I could create
I built a labyrinth with no escape
To keep myself under lock and key
I am my own worst enemy
Id take a leap of faith, but Id lose my nerve
In the end, Ill get the hell that I deserve
Im always gone with the wind
Crawling in and out of my mind
God knows I lost all my faith
A sickness with no remedy
Except the ones inside of me
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
A sickness with no remedy
Except the ones inside of me
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
If I could silence all the doubt in me
Accept that what is meant to be
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
I remember when you said to me: My friend, hope is a prison |
Royal beggars, royal beggars
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Live forever, live forever
Alone, alone, alone?
Cause we’re broken
All hope is dead, but were coping
Somebody, save our souls
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
Cause we’re asleep in a hurricane
Bitter lovers, bitter lovers
Let go, let go, let go cause its
Now or never, now or never
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
Cause were choking
And left for dead, but were coping
Somebody, save our souls
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
Cause were asleep in a hurricane
Are you listening? You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray
Are you listening? You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
Cause we’re asleep in a hurricane
We sit on a throne, waiting for God to bend the knee
But were nothing more than royal beggars
Yeah
Blegh
But Im as guilty as the next man
Our eyes are open, but were not listening |
Diamond, diamond in the mud
Infinity is waiting there
Cause nobody can burn a glass cathedral
I do my best, but everything seems ominous
Not feeling blessed, quite the opposite
This shouldnt feel so monotonous
It never rains, but it pours
Were just a bunch of fucking animals
But were afraid of the outcome
Dont cry to me because the fiction that were living in
Says I should pull the pin
Should I just pull the pin?
Should I just pull the pin?
I dug my heels, I thought that I could stop the rot
The ground gave way, now Ive lost the plot
Fucked it again, that was all Ive got
It never rains, but it pours
Life is just a dream within a
Werе just a bunch of fucking animals
But were afraid of the outcomе
Dont cry to me because the fiction that were living in
Says I should pull the pin
Buried under dirt, a diamond in the mud
Infinity is waiting there cause nobody can burn a glass cathedral
Dream within a, dream within a
Were just a bunch of fucking animals
But were afraid of the outcome
Dont cry to me because the fiction that were living in
Says I should pull the pin
Were just a bunch of fucking animals
But were afraid of the outcome
Dont cry to me because the fiction that were living in
Says I should pull the pin
Should I just pull the pin?
Should I just pull the pin?
Should I just pull the pin?
Should I just pull the pin? |
Maybe well never learn?
The fire at the gates is our saving grace
Remember we were born to burn
There is a holy hell where we can save ourselves
There is a holy hell where we can save ourselves
We will be cast out of paradise
Its a long ascent out of the black
But we all have to sacrifice, hang the iconoclast
And kiss the feet of the amnesiac
Cause the moment is dead when Im lost in the past
Maybe well never learn?
The fire at the gates is our saving grace
Remember we were born to burn
There is a holy hell where we can save ourselves
But now the rivers are running red
And the skies have been set ablaze
Ive been fearing the worst again
Heavenly terrorist, have you been mourning over yesterday?
Dont forget to breathe when the knife begins to twist
Fuck this self-pity, its not that hard to see
We get one chance, these wounds will set me free
Theres poison on the key, it brings you to your knees
But even the mountains erode in the rain
A single spark can start a forest fire
Light one match and burn down the empire
Theres gold buried in the blue, oh
Theres gold buried in the blue
Holy Hell, Ive got nothing left to lose
And I can tell theres gold buried in the blue
Maybe well never learn?
The fire at the gates is our saving grace
Remember we were born to burn
There is a holy hell where we can save ourselves
Holy Hell, Ive got nothing left to lose
And I can tell theres gold buried in the blue
But even the mountains erode in the rain
A single spark can start a forest fire
Light one match and burn down the empire
Theres gold buried in the blue
Theres gold buried in the blue |
I wanna bother God
I wanna feel the ground beneath my feet
But Ive got a smile full of broken teeth
Goodbye, all the doves have flown away
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself
I know its not enough
Why does defeat always taste so bittersweet?
I just wanna live and die in peace
The flower that never blossoms is quickly forgotten
It must be gold if its glistening
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself
Goodbye, all the doves have flown away
I mustve lost myself, lost mysеlf, lost myself
Fly high cause the ravеns are here to stay
I mustve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of
Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butter–
Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies
The flower that never blossoms is quickly forgotten
It must be gold if its glistening
I mustve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself
Goodbye, all the doves have flown away
I mustve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of
Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies
Fly high cause the ravens are here to stay
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of
Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies |
We are beggars, we are so fucking weak
And once upon a time, we had the world at our feet
Well, were all dying to meet our maker
But all our gods have abandoned us
All our gods have abandoned us
This is the great esoteric depression
We sold our souls, but couldnt buy salvation
We are all the shades of misery
The reigning champions of tragedy
They use their faith as a weapon, they count our sins by the seven
Blackwater at the gates of heaven
All hail the corporatocracy
The word of God written in binary
All hail our apostasy
The dying notes in an unholy symphony
All our gods have abandoned us
This is the great esoteric depression
We sold our souls, but couldnt buy salvation
I found God clutching a razor blade
He said: Look at the fucking mess theyve made
Theyd trade their hearts if they were made of gold
We are beggars, we are so fucking weak
And once upon a time, we had the world at our feet
Well, were all dying to meet our maker
But all our gods have abandoned us
All our gods have abandoned us
All our gods have abandoned us
I found God clutching a razor blade
He said: Look at the fucking mess theyve made
Theyd trade their hearts if they were made of gold
But theyre as worthless as the souls they sold |
Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes, I see those brittle bones
But were buried by modern misery
Modern misery
Theres not enough water in the world
To wash the blood from our hands
We planted a seed, its roots will suffocate the soul
It grows without light and feeds from our bones
Hell must be empty, all the devils are here
Singing us the Lords Prayer; finally, something that we all share
I wont go to the grave with the song still in me
What are we hiding in the rain?
This is a prison for lost souls
Another life circles the drain
We used to run with the wolves
Now we cant see the forest
Cause theres no light in the black hole
Dont try and tell me we are blessed
We used to run with the wolves
Are these our new messiahs?
Cause the saviour has a gun to my head
Dont be fooled by Maya, the kings are all thieves
And the serpents will bite as they please
How has it come to this?
I wont go to the grave with the song still in me
And I wont live like a slave begging from my knees
What are we hiding in the rain?
This is a prison for lost souls
Another life circles the drain
We used to run with the wolves
Now we cant see the forest
Cause theres no light in the black hole
Dont try and tell me we are blessed
We used to run with the wolves
Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes, I see those brittle bones
But were buried by modern misery
Modern misery
I wont live like a slave, I wont beg from my knees
I will not go to the grave with the song still in me
We used to run with the wolves
We used to run with the wolves
We used to run with the wolves
We used to run with the wolves |
When I leave this skin and bone
Beyond my final heartbeat
Ill dismantle piece by piece
And I will know that death is not defeat
When I leave this skin and bone
Beyond my final heartbeat
Ill dismantle piece by piece
And I will know that death is not defeat
Holding on tight to whats left of our time
Weve hidden away, but its in the design
Why do we fight what we cant define?
Dont be afraid, we all cross the same line
When I leave this skin and bone
Beyond my final heartbeat
Ill dismantle piece by piece
And I will know that death is not defeat
Into the night, we burn and rage
In death, we repay for time on this stage
The lights are bright, but dont lose your way
Cause once it ignites, the flame must decay
Now youre finally complete
I will see you where oceans meet
Past and present merge, light and dark will converge
Time will overthrow our, our reign on this throne
The everlasting sleep returning through the veil
Far beneath the deep, another soul sets sail
When I leave this skin and bone
Beyond my final heartbeat
Ill dismantle piece by piece
And I will know that death is not defeat
When I leave this skin and bone
Beyond my final heartbeat
Ill dismantle piece by piece
And I will know that death is not defeat |
Tell me was it all worth it, to watch your kingdom grow?
All the anchors in the ocean havent sunk this low
Sunk this low
Rotten to the core!
So whos left to count the cost?
Beneath the ruin lies a story of the lives lost
Now were gone, left without a trace
But we took something they cannot replace
A match made in heaven
Paved the road to hell
Weve been down this path before
Cold blooded retribution
So fuck your revolution
You chew up peace and spit it out as war
Youve been feeding the wolf thats waiting at the door
You are rotten to the core
We found your fingerprints all over the trigger
If youre looking for tyrants, take a look in the mirror
You knew all along, that the cancer would spread
So dont be surprised to find a price on your head
Sorry son, but we destroyed your home
We murdered your family, now youre on your own
Collateral damage, face down in the sand
Watch the dominoes fall, its all just part of the plan
A match made in heaven
Paved the road to hell
Weve been down this path before
Cold blooded retribution
So fuck your revolution
A match made in heaven
Paved the road to hell
Weve been down this path before
And every execution
The price of your collusion
You knew all along that the cancer would spread
So don’t be surprised to find a price on your head
Tell me was it all worth it to watch your kingdom grow?
All the anchors in the ocean havent sunk this low!
Sunk this low!
You are rotten to the core!
You are rotten to the core!
You are rotten to the core!
You are rotten to the core! |
All is not lost, all is not lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
All is not lost, all is not lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
Waiting for a sign washed up on the shoreline
Ill always carry the cross, but all is not lost
I just cant relate a crack in the floodgate
Life comes at a cost, but all is not lost
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Now its time to sink or swim
Ive got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Taking back whats mine, but its lost to the skyline
A bridge I cannot cross, but all is not lost
Now theres no escape; God, what a sorry state
Love comes at a cost, but all is not lost
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Now its time to sink or swim
Ive got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Can you feel the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?
Can you feel the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?
Can you feel the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Now its time to sink or swim
Ive got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever |
Do you cross your heart when you hope to die?
Are you sleeping deep in the hurricane?
IVs in the arm, forgetting to feel, were crawling on all fours
Will you fall on that sword at the second coming?
Youre gonna taste the ash and dust
Cause this world is dying in our arms
Now the wheels are turning
What would you do to stay alive if the planet was burning?
You wanna make your Hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
Sure sounds like Heaven to me
Youve gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we dont believe
Good Lord, its enough to plague a saint
Give us a Judas steer we can deify
Yeah, we all pretend were the renegades
So wash us away, garroted by a halo, take a bow cause times running out
Theres no doubt that the end is coming
Youre gonna taste the ash, youre gonna taste the dust
Cause this world is dying in our arms
Now the wheels are turning
What would you do to stay alive if the planet was burning?
You wanna make your Hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
Sure sounds like Heaven to me
Youve gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we dont believe
Good Lord, its enough to plague a saint
Good Lord, its enough to plague a saint
Post-love, post-truth
Justice lays bound and black-bagged, ready for the guillotine
We can all plead guilty when they ask
Where were you when the gods clipped the wings off the phoenix?
They clipped the wings off the phoenix, oh
When will we wrestle the world from the fools and their gold and the fucking covenant?
Will enough be enough when were holding on for dear life?
You wanna make your Hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
Sure sounds like Heaven to me
Youve gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we dont believe
Good lord, its enough to plague a saint
Its enough to plague a saint
Its enough to plague a saint
Its enough to plague a saint
Oh
Ugh, we can all plead guilty when they ask
Where were you when the gods clipped the wings off the phoenix? |
An iron fist in a velvet glove
Another vulture posing as a dove
Do you have no shame? Look at what youve become
You are the reason we are bitter and then some
Bitter and then some
They sing of saviours, we sing of sorrow
But were still holding on for dear life
You sold us all down the river
I hope you choke on the vows that you failed to deliver
You said youd change the world, but death still flies east
The blind lead the blind, so we bomb for peace
Gravedigger, theres blood on your hands
You built this empire on salt and sand
Not all is fair in love and war
History repeats, weve seen this all before
Weve given the vampires the keys to the blood bank, oh
They say the more things change, the more they stay the same
While the liars leech, the crooked preach
So lie through your teeth, lie like you mean it
It beggars belief, do you really think that we still fucking believe it?
You fucking parasite, blegh
Theres no room in here for an honest man
Only callous and cold hearts
Gravedigger, theres blood on your hands
You built this empire on salt and sand
Not all is fair in love and war
History repeats, weve seen it all before
Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand
Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand
An iron fist in a velvet glove
Another vulture posing as a dove
Do you have no shame? Look at what youve become
You are the reason we are bitter and then some
Bitter and then some
They sing of saviours, we sing of sorrow
But were still holding on for dear life |
This is a wake-up call
No rise without the fall
Facing the great divide
You can run but you cant hide
You can run but you cant hide
I met the devil and God
And couldnt tell them apart
I thought I found the end
But it was only the start
Ive heard it all before
Arent you tired of all of the violence inside of you?
Just let go, gravity, hold on to me
So come and wash us away
Just thank fuck we dont last forever
Its now or never
Is this the catalyst?
Just let me burn the bridge that leads me nowhere
Cause its gone and its never coming back
So make no mistake
Its just a matter of time before the wave breaks
So stand your ground, the earth will shake
So twist the knife cause I am finally awake
So come and wash us away
Just thank fuck we dont last forever
Its now or never
Is this the catalyst?
Just let me burn the bridge that leads me nowhere
Cause its gone and its never coming back
Ive heard it all before
Arent you tired of all of the violence inside of you?
Just let go
Well, what are you waiting for?
Arent you tired of all of the violence inside of you?
Its all you know, gravity, hold on to me
So stand your ground, the earth will shake
So twist the knife cause I am finally awake |
I guess were mortal after all
One day all of us will give up the ghost
Too lost in the light to see what matters most
All ends will be met
And all worlds must collapse
Another part of the symphony lost between eternity
But God is in the detail
I know that theres a part of me, doomed to face infinity
Cause every wave has gotta break
Has gotta break
The truth is, all of us are hostages
Staring down the throat of the screaming abyss
Surrendering is half the battle
But were powerless to resist
Another part of the symphony lost between eternity
But God is in the detail
I know that theres a part of me, doomed to face infinity
Cause every wave has gotta break
Have you forgotten the deal we made?
Ive seen the end and the pain we trade
All these walls will fall
I guess were mortal after all
The end will come for all of us
This all rests on the fault line
All ends will be met
And all worlds must collapse
Another part of the symphony lost between eternity
But God is in the detail
I know that theres a part of me, doomed to face infinity
Cause every wave has gotta break
Has gotta break, yeah
Have you forgotten the deal we made?
Ive seen the end and the pain we trade
All these walls will fall
I guess were mortal after all |
Oh, it just wont calculate, a prophecy with a twist
Do you really think Christ was a capitalist?
Every man for himself
Let thy neighbour drown, amen
So sing us a sad song
So sing us to sleep
Cause we all dance around the carousel
Chewing through our tongues
Now discourse is dead
Stood at the tip of the wing
Youve gotta watch where you tread
Round up the ambivalent, you mustnt sit in the shade
Cause its blasphemous for one to abstain from hate
Were all sisters and brothers
But if youre one of the others, then fuck you
So sing us a sad song
So sing us to sleep
Cause we all dancе around the carousel
Chewing through our tonguеs
So save me the sermon
You all sound the same
Cause we all dance around the carousel
Chewing through our tongues
No common sense left in these empty heads, swimming towards the storm
Two beating hearts, two poles apart, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
No common sense left in these empty heads, swimming towards the storm
Two beating hearts, two poles apart
So sing us a sad song
So sing us to sleep
Cause we all dance around the carousel
Chewing through our tongues
So save me the sermon
You all sound the same
Cause we all dance around the carousel
Chewing through our tongues
Now discourse is dead
Stood at the tip of the wing
Youve gotta watch where you tread
Dont look down, let thy neighbour drown
Discourse is dead |
God only knows why we were born to burn, oh
If God is my witness, hell see that all is not well
Christ, what a sight for sore eyes
Looking down on us, all the children that you despise
God only knows why we were born to burn
God only knows why we were born to burn
A bullet in the neck doesnt feel much like love
A message of rejection sent from above
No flags, no holy books
Ill be in hell with the misunderstood
The sons and daughters that you wished to forget
A desperate picture of Gods regret
Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups?
One things for sure, he doesnt fucking love us
He doesnt fucking love us
Hate must weigh on you like a broken cross
Hate; the dividing line well never step across
Outcast and reject
Outcast and reject
Father, Father, how Ive let you down
A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown
Father, Father, how Ive let you down
A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown
The sons and daughters that you wished to forget
A desperate picture of Gods regret
Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups?
One things for sure, he doesnt fucking love us
He doesnt fucking love us
He doesnt fucking love us |
There was a time for change
I fear it came and went
Whos gonna pick up the pieces?
Who will be left to repent?
The sun is burnt out black
Now theres no turning back
Now theres no turning back
Yeah, I know you know that weve been living a lie
Turn a blind eye until the day we die
Maybe weve passed the point of no return
Maybe we just wanna watch the world burn
We just wanna watch the world burn
Our collapse will be remission
The planet scarred beyond all recognition
Suicide in slow motion
Is this the path we have chosen?
Too cowardly to face this
Weve got a fucking deathwish
You wanna play with fire?
Dont cry when you get burnt
You gave us life
We gave back death in return
The sun is burnt out black
Now theres no turning back
We will consume until theres nothing left
Remember us as a waste of breath
Yeah, I know you know that weve been living a lie
Turn a blind eye until the day we die
Maybe weve passed the point of no return
Maybe we just wanna watch the world burn
We just wanna watch the world burn
I know you know that weve been living a lie
Maybe weve passed the point of no return
We just want to watch the world burn
I wanna believe that it all counts for something
The writing is on the wall
Its hard to accept that it was all for nothing
All for nothing
Yeah, I know you know that weve been living a lie
Turn a blind eye until the day we die
Maybe weve passed the point of no return
Maybe we just wanna watch the world burn
We just wanna watch the world burn |
They want all for one and none for all
I wanna be there to witness the downfall
Theyll only sell us out when our backs are turned
But well keep paying the price until our lesson is learnt
So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin
Every snake has its price
If the moneys on the table, they dont think twice
So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin
We are paralysed
But there are none so blind as those who will not see
Whats it going to take to get us to stand up?
Cause you can see it in their eyes, they dont give a fuck
About what matters to us
Another faceless figure, an empty silhouette
Theyll line their pockets and leave us six feet deep in debt
So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin
Always out for blood, preying on the weak
We can count on them to paint the future bleak
But were still standing by whilst they bleed us dry
We are paralysed
But there are none so blind as those who will not see
Whats it going to take to get us to stand up?
Cause you can see it in their eyes, they dont give a fuck
About what matters to us
So enough is enough
Whats it going to take to get us to stand up?
Cause you can see it in their eyes, they dont give a fuck
Right and wrong, its all the same to me
Thick as thieves as far as I can see
They are leeches all
Right and wrong, its all the same to me
Thick as thieves as far as I can see
They are leeches all
But were still standing by whilst they bleed us dry
They want all for one and none for all
I wanna be there to witness the downfall
We are paralysed
They want all for one and none for all
I wanna be there to witness the downfall |
From the cradle to the grave
Destined to break like the waves
Existence is so threatening
It takes a fierce grace to crack us open
A moment sat with our sentencing
And the light comes flooding in, oh, the light comes flooding in
When the leaves fall in the spring
May all the beggars be blessed
Like angels with anhedonia
Were all just doing our best
Repeating, Theres nothing left
Thats why we weed out the wonderers
Maybe theres virtue in emptiness
But I still drown in distress
When the leaves fall in the spring
With the ravens here to stay
And the doves all flying away
Sedation feels so welcoming
In the subtle space, theres an endless ocean
But the devils sing and its deafening
What a world were living in, oh, were never listening
When the leaves fall in the spring
May all the beggars be blessed
Like angels with anhedonia
Were all just doing our best
Repeating, Theres nothing left
Thats why we weed out the wonderers
Maybe theres virtue in emptiness
But I still drown in distress
When the leaves fall in the spring
Ive got a lot to lose, but I wont lie to you
And make-believe sincerity, Im praying for a remedy
Beloved distant blue, one day, Ill die for you
And swim in sweet serenity cause death is not my enemy
Ive got a lot to lose, but I wont lie to you
And make-believe sincerity, Im praying for a remedy
Beloved distant blue, one day, Ill die for you
And swim in sweet serenity cause death is not my enemy |
These streets arent paved with gold
Dont believe everything that youre told
Deception hides in all you see
Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe
And in the land of the free
You know nothing comes for free
Fourth drive in paradise
Vapid souls check the market price
Lifetime slave
Living in a suburban grave
If there was a God, was a God
You would be the death of him
These colours dont run
Like colours from the face
Eyes roll back, chemical despair
Its true what they say, life isnt fair
So repeat this line: Everything, everything is fine
So repeat this line: Everything, everything is fine
These colours dont run
Like colours from the face
Eyes roll back, chemical despair
Its true what they say, life isnt fair
And in the land of the free
You know nothing comes for free
Im struggling to find any poetry in this
Someone beat me to the line ignorance is bliss
So I guess Ill just say it how it is
You had it all, you fucking pigs
These streets arent paved with gold
Dont believe everything that youre told
Deception hides in all you see
Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe |
We suffer to survive
Are we desperate creatures crawling in the dirt?
Or are we lonely preachers hiding our beating hearts?
We sow the wind and reap the storm
Dont say you havent been warned
No futures written
Theres endless possibility
We suffer to survive
If hope is a prison, then maybe faith will set me free
We suffer to survive
Am I just a victim drifting in the raging sea?
We suffer to survive
If a kingdom resides behind my own eyes
Ive got to catch the stone and cradle the wave
Damnation is just a daydream away
But still, we carry on
If Im God in disguise, praying for the rain
And if our demons decide, then is this all in vain?
We sow the wind and reap the storm
Dont say you havent been warned
Its time to confess
I haunt this flesh
I answer my own prayers
I bid my own despair
No futures written
Theres endless possibility
We suffer to survive
If hope is a prison, then maybe faith will set me free
We suffer to survive
Am I just a victim drifting in the raging sea?
We suffer to survive
But still, we carry on
Theres a lesson in this, what I resist persists
And damnation is just a daydream away
If hope is a prison, then maybe faith will set me free
We suffer to survive
Am I just a victim drifting in the raging sea?
We suffer to survive |
I found my way to the garden, but I couldnt see
The cliff edge in front of me, no cloud can catch me now
It brings me closer to God
But keeps the dirt in the wound, and now the beast has teeth
I’ve got my hand on my heart
I thought that I knew the way, but Ive been torn apart
Now I know theres a holy grail
But it’s beyond the pale
Why must we always fly so close to the sun?
The silhouettes have fallen one by one
Cause we forget that the sun sets
And were not long for this world
No cloud can catch me now
The Devils recruits whisper in my ear
Go tighten that noose, but its clear
Ive gotta follow the thread
Instead, Ill dream of the end, and I will raise the dead
Were all refusing to feel
And yet we’re dying to heal
But there is only now
And there’s no easy way out
I found my way to the garden, but I couldnt see
The cliff edge in front of me
Now I know there’s a holy grail
But its beyond the pale
Why must we always fly so close to the sun?
The silhouettes have fallen one by one
Cause we forget that the sun sets
And were not long for this world
No cloud can catch me now
I see no silver linings
When the days are so dark
So hold a flame to these words
Enough pressure will create a diamond, oh
I see no silver linings
When the days are so dark
So hold a flame to these words
Enough pressure will create a diamond
Enough pressure will create a diamond |
Weve got a choice, but still we’d rather choose to suffer
Cause theres no escape once the fuse is lit, locked in this pantheon
Swimming with concrete shoes, the reaper comes to take the best of you
Can you see the writing on the wall?
There is a subtle space that we’ll all discover
Cause there is a seat reserved for thе spirit, passing through one by one
Riding a torpedo, wе wash away into the overflow
Can you see the writing on the wall?
Were barricaded cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown, then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, were all players in a symphony that fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again
Do you really wanna live forever? Oh
We are so lost staring into all the colour
It hurts, but reality is counterfeit, we came from the beyond
Living a cameo, one final breath and then we split in two
Can you see the writing on the wall?
Were barricaded cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown, then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, were all players in a symphony that fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again and again
Even the doomed refuse, we were born to lose
Do you really wanna live forever?
’Cause those afraid to die will never truly live
They’ll never truly live
Even the doomed refuse, we were born to lose
Do you really wanna live forever?
Were barricaded ’cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown, then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, were all players in a symphony that fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again
We are barricaded cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown, then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, were all players in a symphony that fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again and again |
Say what you like, I know what I am
Sometimes a flood starts with a leak in the dam
You said well never make a difference
Maybe this battle is to fight indifference
Naysayer
Naysayer, hammer the nail
Were all on our own, we cant decide whats true
Betrayer, hammer the nail
Such narrow lines separate me and you
So sick of the sound of people giving up
You cant stop me giving a fuck
Fuck it, Im a dreamer and Im dreaming on
Fuck it, Im a dreamer and Im dreaming on
With every concession, another piece of us dies
Will we fight for nothing if not our lives?
Apathy is our new messiah
Only he could let things get so dire
All the messengers found knives in their backs
Apathy is our new messiah
The word made flesh, you cant fight fire with fire
All the messengers found knives in their backs
I know it haunts you, it haunts me too
Were all on our own, we cant decide whats true
Why are we fighting when Im just like you?
Naysayer
Naysayer, hammer the nail
Were all on our own, we cant decide whats true
Betrayer, hammer the nail
Such narrow lines separate me and you
So sick of the sound of people giving up
You cant stop me giving a fuck
Fuck it, Im a dreamer and Im dreaming on
Fuck it, Im a dreamer and Im dreaming on
Apathy is our new messiah
The word made flesh, you cant fight fire with fire |
The workers all march to the beat of the drum
Their spirits are broken, they have nowhere to run
They dream of courage and a loaded gun
But the slaves all know, they better bite their tongue
Track marks across the planet
Are there any veins left for them to infect?
They would kill one another just to disconnect
Three cheers for desperation
God, bless the godforsaken
We will arm them to the teeth
To fight, to fight the war on peace
All love is lost, so carry the cross
Cause theres no human in us left, we are music made for the deaf
They play a game that they know theyll never win
Sick and tired of the world theyre living in
The messiah showed up high on heroin, on heroin
The workers all march to the beat of the drum
They fell into the trap, taken one by one
The medicine is poison, but it makes them numb
Cause all that they feel is pain and regret
Existence is just something they would rather forget
Three cheers for desperation
God, bless the godforsaken
We will arm them to the teeth
To fight, to fight the war on peace
All love is lost, so carry the cross
Cause theres no human in us left, we are music made for the deaf
They play a game that they know theyll never win
Sick and tired of the world theyre living in
The messiah showed up high on heroin, on heroin
Is this freedom? Is this the life you chose?
If this is living the dream, weve hit an all-time low
All love is lost, so carry the cross
Cause theres no human in us left, we are music made for the deaf
They play a game that they know theyll never win
Sick and tired of the world theyre living in
The messiah showed up high on heroin, on heroin |
This should be heavenly, heavenly
Is there no remedy, remedy? Cause Ive been
Baring blunt teeth
Im breathing heavily, heavily
I see a legacy, legacy thats sinking
Oh, it beggars belief
Im standing beneath the meteor
Disasters breaking down my door
I should be moving mountains
The arrow buckles in the bow
They said its time to go to war
Yeah, Ive heard it all before
I should be moving mountains
But Im like fire in thе snow
Bathing in gasoline, gasoline
Living in quarantine, quarantinе, its colder
In the furnace
Nobodys evergreen, evergreen
Stare at the murder scene, murder scene and focus
On nothing but the surface
Im standing beneath the meteor
Disasters breaking down my door
I should be moving mountains
The arrow buckles in the bow
They said its time to go to war
Yeah, Ive heard it all before
I should be moving mountains
But Im like fire in the, a fire in the
Snow, snow, snow, snow
Another god on the radio
Says were stuck in a tailspin
The pilots have vertigo, theyre lost in the undertow
The arrow buckles in the bow
They said we pushed the last domino before the apocalypse
Weve all got a stone to throw, why? I will never know
Yeah, were like fire in the, a fire in the snow
Im standing beneath the meteor
Disasters breaking down my door
I should be moving mountains
The arrow buckles in the bow
They said its time to go to war
Yeah, Ive heard it all before
I should be moving mountains
But Im like fire in the, a fire in the snow |
There is no endgame
So whisper the truth and pass on the blame
Just put us out of our misery
This defeat is a victory
Were burning out, were fading away
A failed evolution
Is the problem the solution that theyve been searching for?
Were waiting for the world to save itself
Cause nothing is built to last
Were writing our epitaph
So reset and start again
Cause we all know how this ends
Before long well be dead and gone
A thorn in the side of the earth
Where do you draw the line?
A flaw in the design
The rest is history
This defeat is a victory
Were burning out, were fading away
We live in an infinite growth paradigm. Nothing grows forever, its not possible. As a great psychologist James Hillman wrote
The only thing that grows in the human body after a certain age is cancer, and I think that, thats clearly what were seeing at the end of human industrial civilization with the population approaching seven billion
Were all guilty as sin
I feel it, I feel it under my skin
Always up in arms without lifting a finger
Lifting a finger
We may be infinite, but this world is not
Something that we once knew, that we long forgot
That we long forgot
Were waiting for the world to save itself
Cause nothing is built to last
Were writing our epitaph
So reset and start again
Cause we all know how this ends
Before long well be dead and gone
Were all guilty as sin
I feel it, I feel it under my skin
Always up in arms without lifting a finger
Lifting a finger
We may be infinite, but this world is not
Something that we once knew, that we long forgot |
I dont wanna dream anymore
Ive buried it all too deep
Every waking moment is war
This is the seventh circle
Im stepping off the edge
I think Id prefer oblivion
I feel the blood drain from my face
Maybe its better to never have been
Too afraid to connect, what can I do to repent?
Ive got to settle my regrets, but first Ive got to accept
Some of us burn too bright, Im holding on too tight
I think Im done with reality
I dont wanna dream anymore
Ive buried it all too deep
Every waking moment is war
This is the seventh circle
I dont wanna dream anymore
Ive buried it all too deep
Every waking moment is war
This is the seventh circle
I dont wanna dream anymore
Ive buried it all too deep
Every waking moment is war
This is the seventh circle |
The gospel, distorted
It leaves my blood running cold
But still they say
Im rigging the ritual
I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers
Bleeding out like a devil in disguise
They shot a hole in the parachute
Cause Id rather feel alive
Its so convoluted
Theyre just trepanning for gold
May they rest in peace
Cause theyre fucking dead to me
Well, theres your eulogy
The waters polluted
My feathers caught in the spill
Nobody said that it would be safe up here
I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers
Bleeding out like a devil in disguise
They shot a hole in the parachute
Cause Id rather feel alive
Your salvations a letdown, ooh
Oh, Im sorry that Id rather feel, Id rather feel alive
It leaves a mark on the mind, it weaves a web in the background silently
No time to spare, no sign of the exit wound, God help me
Theres no drying off once youre soaked right down to the bone, hopefully
Somebody thinks of me in the aftermath, woe is me
It leaves a mark on the mind, it weaves a web in the background silently
No time to spare, no sign of the exit wound, God help me
Theres no drying off once youre soaked right down to the bone, hopefully
Somebody thinks of me in the aftermath, woe is me
Woe is me
Im so sorry, Im so sorry
I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers
Bleeding out like a devil in disguise
They shot a hole in the parachute
Cause Id rather feel alive
Your salvations a letdown, ooh
Oh, Im sorry that Id rather feel, Id rather feel alive |
Contaminated, nothing is sacred
Born and bred on pure hatred
Cause they haunt our streets with a phantom fear
No one is safe, no one is welcome here
No one is welcome here
Can you taste the poison in the air?
I swear its everywhere, its everywhere
Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white
Ill chase the dying of the light
They want the victims to hang their heads in shame
Well, fuck them all, we wont play their game, we wont play their game
Ive seen through every word the prophets propagate
This is a failed state
So read between the lines, this is a failed state
No love, no empathy
Our fellow man is now our enemy
No love, no unity
Erase our souls, distort reality
Can you taste the poison in the air?
I swear its everywhere, its everywhere
Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white
Ill chase the dying of the light
They will sow the seeds of blind contempt
Then let us bleed until our hearts content
Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white
Ill chase the dying of the light
No love, no empathy
Our fellow man is now our enemy
No love, no empathy
No love, no unity
Our fellow man is now our enemy |
Do you feel at home in limbo?
Hiding a broken vow
A phantom at the window
Can you swallow the shame?
Has your courage been burnt out, faded away?
There wont be a saviour in sight, but its okay
Cause were comfortable
Were stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes
Theyre living a lie
Blinded by a candle, theyre saying goodbye
Were stood at the edge of the world
When the clock runs down to zero
Well stand up and take a bow
So quick to play the hero
Are you fanning the flames?
Are you torching the lighthouse stood in the way?
Complicity burning so bright, yet we delay
Are you culpable?
Seize the snakes
Theyre living a lie
Blinded by a candle, theyre saying goodbye
Were stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake
When the water runs dry
Well be slaves to the anchor, the Devil may cry
Were stood at the edge of the world
Were stood at the edge of the world
Nothing is holy, we all take the blame
Crumbling slowly, the cliff face belongs to the ocean
So run for your life
Do you remember the tip of the spear?
The edge of the knife?
Were freshly dismembered, but wont shed a tear
So run for your life
Were stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes
Theyre living a lie
Blinded by a candle, theyre saying goodbye
Were stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake
When the water runs dry
Well be slaves to the anchor, the Devil may cry
Were fighting to stay alive, how can we all survive?
No second chances, were stood at the edge of the world
Were stood at the edge of the world, yeah
Were fighting to stay alive |
Burn the altar built by the dollar sign, those waters are shallow
Thats why the kids all say, Get the fuck out of our way
Cause were picking up the slack, taking power back
Yeah, they made a bed out of our bones, said its all just overblown
It doesnt matter if youre friend or if youre foe
Do you really think you wanna be saved?
I wanna sing you a different song, one thats easier to swallow
Everything is fucking fine
We can dance, we can all sing along
We can say how we all wanna be saved, but its еasier to follow
I wanna sing you a different song, onе thats easier to swallow
We all say that we wanna be saved, but its easier to follow
There are vultures preaching the party line, those goldmines are hallowed
And if we look away, then well all have hell to pay
So we cover up the tracks, theres no going back
Yeah, I know that Rome was overthrown, but it wasnt done alone
And you would think that we were better off below
Were you hoping that the dead could be raised?
I wanna sing you a different song, one thats easier to swallow
Everything is fucking fine
We can dance, we can all sing along
We can say how we all wanna be saved, but its easier to follow
I wanna sing you a different song, one thats easier to swallow
We all say that we wanna be saved, but its easier to follow
If we miss the deadline
We can always blame the Divine
Gripping knives and praising lowlives
Nobody could say with a straight face they didnt have it coming
They fucking had it coming
They fucking had it coming
I wanna sing you a different song, one thats easier to swallow
We can dance, we can all sing along
We can say how we all wanna be saved, but its easier to follow
I wanna sing you a different song, one thats easier to swallow
We all say that we wanna be saved
If we miss the deadline
We can always blame the Divine
Gripping knives and praising lowlives
Nobody could say with a straight face they didnt have it coming |
Every moment is dead to me
Do you remember?
Because I cant forget
The saddest story of all that ever was or will be
Laid out before me
A living heart attack
Play it back, play it back
Take my eyes, I cannot see sense, past and future tense
Every moment is dead to me
Safe and sound, anywhere but here
I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
Have you seen a future
Filled with regret?
Breathe and count to ten
Start over again
You wanna run away
Just let yourself decay
A living heart attack
Play it back, play it back
The empty hourglass
Were going nowhere fast
Theres no more time to kill
If time is standing still
Take my eyes, I cannot see sense, past and future tense
Every moment is dead to me
Safe and sound, anywhere but here
I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
Play it back, play it back
Over and over again, over and over again
The empty hourglass
Were going nowhere fast
Theres no more time to kill
If time is standing still |
Oh
Dont say were better off dead, soon we could be in remission
I said, Its not enough
They told me, Itll be fine, happiness isnt a crime, son
So pick your guts from the floor
Well all be hanging a hero
Praying for someone to save us
Goliath says I oughta let it go
Nobodys proving me wrong
Theyre all singing hallelujah
Keep two eyes open
Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Weve got a mountain to climb
But I aint got the permission
They wanna call my bluff
They said, Youre crossing the line, I said, It takes one to know one
Oh, please, God, be merciful
Cause they know not what they do
We should be begging for more
Well all be hanging a hero
Praying for someone to save us
Goliath says I oughta let it go
Nobodys proving me wrong
Theyre all singing hallelujah
Keep two eyes open
Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Bury your head in the sand
Soon youll be feeling the fangs
So sleep with two eyes open
Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Long live the king thats not listening
No time for rats in the gutter
Snakes coiling, but were signalling
Screaming at one another
Long live the king thats not listening
No time for rats in the gutter
Snakes coiling, but were signalling
Screaming at one another
Smoke em out and set a fire in the hive
They wouldnt break their stride if we were burning alive
Burning alive
Cause jackals live by the candlelight
They live by the candlelight
Nobodys proving me wrong
Theyre all singing hallelujah
Keep two eyes open
Cause jackals live by the candlelight
Bury your head in the sand
Soon youll be feeling the fangs
So sleep with two eyes open
Cause jackals live by the candlelight |
No one knows permanence quite like you
Theres a ruthlessness in all that you do
This is not about what we deserve
Theres no bias in the misery served
C.A.N.C.E.R
So watch the sun sink into the sea
There is a perfect peace, but dont wait up for me
And when we all fade away
And this world cant bear another day
There will be no fight in broken bliss
Respected will we be at the end of this
I feel it now more than ever
A reapers watch, my life is ready to sever
Your name carries more than disease
A symbol of man brought to his knees
This is not about what we deserve
Theres no bias in the misery served
C.A.N.C.E.R
Find a little light and hold it close
Dont lose sight, dont lose sight of what matters most
Find a little light and hold it close
Dont lose sight, dont lose sight of what matters most
This is a burden we all carry together
Waiting in the wings, so we never say never
And when we all fade away
And this world cant bear another day
There will be no fight in broken bliss
Respected will we be at the end of this
So watch the sun sink into the sea
There is a perfect peace, but dont wait up for me
C.A.N.C.E.R
C.A.N.C.E.R
This is a burden we all carry together
Waiting in the wings, so we never say never |
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state were in
We brought the battle, we saw the signs
Weve found ourselves two steps behind
Im counting days like theyre running out
Theres ghosts in the water, so pray for drought
This time theres nowhere to hide
Were facing the firing squad side by side
1986, this is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse, this is colony collapse
Give us the rope, and well tie our own noose
We truly believed all we touched turned to gold
We were warned, but we wouldnt be told
Im counting days like theyre running out
Theres ghosts in the water, so pray for drought
This time theres nowhere to hide
Were facing the firing squad side by side
They said the oceans on fire
Say it isnt true, say it isnt true
The truth never hurt so much
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?
1986, this is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse, this is colony collapse
Colony collapse
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state were in
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state were in
They said the oceans on fire
Say it isnt true, say it isnt true
The truth never hurt so much
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?
This time theres nowhere to hide
Were facing the firing squad side by side
They said the oceans on fire
Say it isnt true, say it isnt true
The truth never hurt so much
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?
1986, this is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse, this is colony collapse |
That distant blue, thats me and you
It was from there that we all grew
Framed in space, our first home
All those beating hearts that were made of stone
We were disaster built from flesh and bone
Their bodies made a mountain, a ladder to the stars
When they reached up to the sun, it only left them with scars
All the saints and the sinners will reap what they sow
So they stood back and watched their bitterness grow
They couldnt tell the cure from disease
They no longer knew their want from their need
They fucked the future, forgot the past
Nothing built was built to last
A common ground, now we see
That connected us like the land and the sea
That distant blue, thats me and you
It was from there that we all grew
Framed in space, our first home
All those beating hearts that were made of stone
We were disaster built from flesh and bone
Caught in a web, dont struggle free
This is all weve got, so just let it be
If we save ourselves, well feel so small
Well ask ourselves why we cared at all
Caught in a web, dont struggle free
This is all weve got, so just let it be
If we save ourselves, well feel so small
Well ask ourselves why we cared at all
Why we cared at all |
We are the rust worshipping the rain
Can I believe in anything?
Ive got a doubters mind, but that dont give me the rope
Its not enough, so call the cavalry, the cavalry
God, give me some hope cause Ive been living in a deficit for so long
Dont turn the page cause your bloodll run cold
Parting the seas isnt free and its getting old
Youre gonna choke when you drink from the fountain
We are the rust worshipping the rain
Ive got a Band-Aid on a bullet wound
If I refuse to break through, I can never lose
Theres a trap at the peak of the mountain
We are the rust worshipping the rain
Im so afraid of everything
I think my courage died, this is a slippery slope
So lock the cuffs because Im powerless, so powerless
I just cant cope cause Ive been living in a deficit
A libertine stole the keys
And drove this machine without me
Dont turn the page cause your bloodll run cold
Parting the seas isnt free and its getting old
Youre gonna choke when you drink from the fountain
We are the rust worshipping the rain
Ive got a Band-Aid on a bullet wound
If I refuse to break through, I can never lose
Theres a trap at the peak of the mountain
We are the rust worshipping the rain
A libertine stole the key
And drove this machine without me
Its too much, but its not enough
So cold, but Im burning up
Im trying to swim
But Im treading water
Its unclear, but its obvious
Three cheers for this emptiness
Im trying to swim
Yeah, Im trying, Im trying, Im trying
Im treading water
Cause Ive been living in a deficit
Dont turn the page cause your bloodll run cold
Parting the seas isnt free and its getting old
Youre gonna choke when you drink from the fountain
We are the rust worshipping the rain
We are the rust worshipping the rain |
The Son of God, hangmans pawn control our lives
With fairytales and shallow lies
You say well burn in hell
Spiteful preacher, I know you well
Desperation breathes and follows you home
Just look around, youre not alone
One life and one chance
The world in front of me
Intelligent design
Sending shivers down my spine
Cells mutate and divide
What a sadistic intention
No light, no dark, no ups, no downs
Ill find peace, buried in the ground
The lights go out, the fuse has blown
No heaven or hell to bring me home
You say well burn in hell
Spiteful preacher, I know you well
Desperation breathes and follows you home
Just look around, youre not alone
One life and one chance
The world in front of me
Another division to tear us apart
Try to fill that hole inside your heart
Another division to tear us apart
Try to fill that hole inside your heart
Son of God, son in the sky
If you could speak, Im sure youd say
Theres more to me than meets the eye
Theres more to me, theres more to me
Son of God, son in the sky
If you could speak, Im sure youd say
Theres more to me than meets the eye
Theres more to me, theres more to me
Let me say my decency comes from inside
Just human heart, a decent mind
We all slip up from time to time
Let me say my decency comes from inside
Just human heart, a decent mind
We all slip up from time to time |
Theres a rose that blooms through the cracks in the concrete
Staining the prison floor
Theres a pilgrimage waiting sat at the doorstep
Rotting beneath the sun
When theres nowhere left to hide, well be searching for a shortcut
Ire and denial are as thick as thieves
Soon therell be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Dont forget to breathe, dont forget to breathe, dont forget to breathe
Tell me how to coexist when a fraction only wants war
Hopelessly in love with our gritted teeth
Soon therell be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Dont forget to breathe, I forgot to breathe, and look whos on the throne now
A dead heretic with no storm left to weather
Afraid to admit, it wont sustain the spirit
A new counterfeit like flight without feathers
Ready to submit, it wont sustain the spirit
It wont sustain the spirit
So we fall to our knees and beg for reprieve, but
Its almost time for the curtain call
The apostles will sing and lead us from sin, but
They hold all of our bones in their hands
We all swim against the tide until it puts us on the back foot
Nothings ever tasted half as good as grief
Soon therell be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Dont forget to breathe, dont forget to breathe, dont forget to breathe
Cause Im staring at a fist and its asking if I want more
Clarity will visit, but its only brief
Soon therell be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Dont forget to breathe, dont forget to breathe, dont forget to breathe
A dead heretic with no storm left to weather
Afraid to admit, it wont sustain the spirit
A new counterfeit like flight without feathers
Ready to submit, it wont sustain the spirit
It wont sustain the spirit
It wont sustain the spirit
It wont sustain the spirit
It wont sustain the spirit |
The past is dead
I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace
The past is dead
I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace
If we stop the clock, will I reappear?
Pulled from the drift, there goes another year
The stars align, the planets shift
All the infinite moments that weve missed
Theres parts of me that are lost forever
At least were all lost together
We all remember youth like its dead and gone
Like our favourite line from a forgotten song
Ill show you my hurt, and Ill show you my heart
A life lost in the dark
The past is dead
I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace
The past is dead
I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace
When I reach the end, will I beg for more?
Will I look back or step through the door?
I stand beneath a monolith
Do you ever feel like you wont be missed?
Theres parts of me that are lost forever
At least were all lost together
I heard that this was only a ride
So theres no worth in waiting for death to arrive
All we are is just a name, its all we are
Our skin, it shows these crippled bones, youth sinks alone
All we are is just a name, its who we are
Our skin it shows, these crippled bones, youth sinks alone
Ill show you my hurt, and Ill show you my heart
A life lost in the dark
Theres parts of me that are lost forever
At least were all lost together
Theres parts of me that are lost forever |

I think Im missing a piece of the puzzle
I could drown when Im just stood in a puddle
A jet black reservoir sits beneath these scars
Its all Ive ever known
Please applaud, its good to know whos below me
I keep on preaching, but Im so phoney holy
Ive been stuck on repeat
But Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
It feels like a glass half-empty is more than Ill ever have
Cause Ive been fast asleep, standing still in a stampede
Im breaking my back, but Im still sinking like a stone
Yeah, its all that Ivе ever known
Cause Ivе got nothing left and Im still sinking like a stone
I see the smoke, but I dont move a muscle
Pretend Im broken so you dont burst my bubble
I look up at the stars, but dont see so far
Its all Ive ever known
Can you spare me all of the ceremony?
Lets not pretend because I dont even know me
Ive been dead on my feet
But Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
It feels like a glass half-empty is more than Ill ever have
Cause Ive been fast asleep, standing still in a stampede
Im breaking my back, but Im still sinking like a stone
Yeah, its all that Ive ever known
Cause Ive got nothing left and Im still sinking like a stone
This is déjà vu, but Im a demigod
I mustve forgot Im a demigod
I always feel so blue, but Im a demigod
I mustve forgot Im a demigod
This is déjà vu, but Im a demigod
I mustve forgot Im a demigod
I always feel so blue, but Im a demigod
I mustve forgot Im a demigod
Still sinking like a stone, still sinking like a stone
Still sinking like a stone, yeah, its all that Ive ever known
Still sinking like a stone, still sinking like a stone
Cause Ive got nothing left and Im still sinking like a stone
A glass half-empty is more than Ill ever have
Cause Ive been fast asleep, standing still in a stampede
Im breaking my back, but Im still sinking like a stone |
This is the be all, the end all
The burden, the blessing
This is the be all, the end all
The burden, the blessing
Ive made promises that I know I cant keep
Drink from the holy grail, youll find its bittersweet
No matter what he says, poison is not my friend
But hell have my back until the bitter end
Always climbing but only ever descending
The canvas before me is never-ending
So call for the crossroads if youre lost in the woods
If I drop this torch, then Ill be gone for good
I said: Enough is enough
Well, I guess I lied, I guess I lied
This is the be all, the end all
The burden, the blessing
This is the be all, the end all
The burden, the blessing
All my mistakes will outlive me
I just cant accept that what will be will be
My lungs are failing, I cant catch my breath
I dont know why, but right now Im scared to death
My fear still sees when my eyes are closed
But the blames on me, this is the path I chose
Always climbing but only ever descending
The canvas before me is never-ending
So call for the crossroads if youre lost in the woods
If I drop this torch, then Ill be gone for good
I said: Enough is enough
Well, I guess I lied, I guess I lied
I wasted time building castles in the air
If theres peace to be found, I wont find it there
My fear still sees when my eyes are closed
But the blames on me, this is the path I chose
This is the path I chose
This is the path I chose
I wasted time building castles in the air
If theres peace to be found, I wont find it there
My fear still sees when my eyes are closed
But the blames on me, this is the path I chose |
No tree can grow to Heaven
Till its roots reach down to Hell
Will we ever learn our lesson?
We all fall in parallel
No tree can grow to Heaven
Till its roots reach down to Hell
Will we ever learn our lesson?
We all fall in parallel
Dont bury the confession
Theres a light behind the shell
Do you dream of Armageddon
Just to get yourself to Heaven?
We all fall in parallel
We all fall in parallel
We all fall in parallel
We all fall in parallеl
We all fall in parallel |
These martyrs seek no adoration
No promises of Gods salvation
They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet
They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes
Youve got to watch your back, youve got to swallow fear
Cover your tracks, or you might disappear
They found the words to speak unspeakable things
And they struck the air from the chests of kings
These martyrs seek no adoration
No promises of Gods salvation
They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet
They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes
If you were caught between the Devil and the deep blue sea
Would you run and hide or stand for what you believe?
Maybe Orwell was right all along
They think this spells the end, its only just begun
These martyrs seek no adoration
No promises of Gods salvation
They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet
They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes
If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun
Swear that you wont forget, swear that you wont forget
If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun
Swear that you wont forget, swear that you wont forget
Tell the rats to get back in the gutter
Well be watching, were always watching
You try to stamp them out, youll only fan the flames
This is for all the snakes: fuck you
So hold your forked tongue, youve got us spitting nails
Im gonna say it straight: fuck you
If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun
Swear that you wont forget
If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun
They think this spells the end, its only just begun |
Hey, hey, they live this day and night
This is sacrifice, no fucking compromise
Hey, hey, they have the heart to resist
While the hunters hunt, they will persist
This is where tragedy is bought and sold
It seems their pain is worth its weight in gold
You know theyre here when the water is red
Our fading life support is hanging by a thread
A message etched on broken ships
Hey, hey, they live this day and night
This is sacrifice, no fucking compromise
Hey, hey, they have the heart to resist
While the hunters hunt, they will persist
And you can hear them cry, theyre calling out
To the mother lost, shes bleeding out
Shes bleeding out
Their innocence is heaven sent
Their malevolence, it will not relent
A graveyard sits upon the shore
They wont swim together anymore
The tide will rush with waves of fear
Selling souls, the Devil is near
The tide will rush in waves of fear
Selling souls, the Devil is near
The Devil is near
If were gonna survive on this planet, we have to respect the rights
Of all those species to survive cause we need them more than they need us
A message etched on broken ships
Well be here till corruption quits
There is a voice, though they cannot speak
Not yet ready to admit defeat
You can hear them cry, theyre calling out
To the mother lost, shes bleeding out
You can hear them cry, theyre calling out
To the mother lost, shes bleeding out
Their tragedy is bought and sold
It seems their pain is worth its weight in gold |
There, there must have been
An easier way
To release these feelings
So, so far from home
In need of your voice
To hold my head together
So, so far from home
In need of your voice
To lift my lonely state of mind
You, you cant but wait
For me to return
For me to show you how I felt
These wounds have bled
And pages fly by
I need to feel you right by my side
So, so far from home
In need of your voice
To hold my head together
So, so far from home
In need of your voice
To lift my lonely state of mind
Oh there must be
An easier way
Oh there must be
An easier way
Oh there must be
An easier way
To release these feelings!
As the sea breeze hits my lungs
It takes me back to where I belong
To where I belong
As the sea breeze hits my lungs
It takes me back to where I belong
To where I belong
As the sea breeze hits my lungs
It takes me back to where I belong
To where I belong |
Theres no price to hide
When youre high on the white lie
So lost, Ive beat death
Kill us, dont tell us
The devil that you know
Knows no, no death is too low
Right when they want you
To get lost, to be strong
Save us from the cure
With our heads in the sand, weve left our lives in their hands
The chemical miracle, the one youve been praying for
With our heads in the sand, weve left our lives in their hands
Our condition is critical, but we keep coming back for more
Theres no price to hide
When youre high on the white lie
Hanging by a thread
Ready to drop dead
With our heads in the sand, weve left our lives in their hands
The chemical miracle, the one youve been praying for
With our heads in the sand, weve left our lives in their hands
Our condition is critical, but we keep coming back for more
Save us, save us from the cure |
Your life is ending one minute at a time
Check the clock and stand in line
Hibernate till your, till your lifes passed you by
Please, stop living like youre waiting to die
Keep up, keep up, dont get left behind
Dont slip up, slip up, chase that finish line
They dont want you believing
That your life deserves a meaning
Weary souls, trying to forget
That were all puppets with a lifetime debt
What a feeling, built to break
Happiness with an expiry date
Please, stop living like youre waiting to die
Please, stop living like youre waiting to die
Stitched into our lives, drained until we expire
Weary souls trying to forget
That were all puppets with a lifetime debt
Were all weary souls trying to forget
Keep two eyes on that intangible finish line
In this race, were all reduced to vermin
Keep two eyes on that intangible finish line
In this race, were all reduced, were all reduced to vermin
Stitched into our lives, drained until we expire
Your life is ending one minute at a time
Weary souls, trying to forget
That were all puppets with a lifetime debt |
This is your country, this is your home
Here is the house where you grew up alone
This is your country, this is your home
Here is the house where you grew up alone
The city streets you used to love
Are bruised and broken, are black and blue
On our TVs, miles away
On our doorsteps with no reason why
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back, take it back
This is your country, this is your home
Here is the house where you grew up alone
Remember this, remember this for what it was
Remember this, remember this for what it was
Remember this, remember this
Take it back, take it back, take it back
You want a voice but your voices sound like violence
You dont, you dont deserve this life
You dont, you dont deserve this
This is your country, this is your home
Here is the house where you grew up alone
Remember this, remember this for what it was
A bleak projection of absent minds
You want a voice but your voices sound like violence
You shout so loud, but all I hear is silence
The city streets that you show no love
Are bruised and broken because of you
Because of you
Because of you
This is your country, this is your home
Here is the house where you grew up alone
This is your country, this is your home
Here is the house where you grew up alone
Remember this, remember this for what it was
Remember this, remember this for what it was
For what it was |
Raging waters flood the valleys of your mind
The torrent washed away the warning signs
Swim through the ones and zeros
So hard to tell the villains from heroes
What if they say isnt true?
What if they want isnt best for you?
Washed up, face down on the digital shore
Lungs contract, now dive back in for more
Are you sitting on the edge of your seat?
Well be right back, dont move an inch
Dont move an inch
Swim through the ones and zeros
So hard to tell the villains from heroes
Static mirror, life isnt black and white
I understand its hard to choose whats right
Whiteout swallows us all
Once snow-blind, we wont care at all
What if they say isnt true?
What if they want isnt best for you?
Tunnel vision, hearts beat in time
Rhythmic contractions drowning in a flood of distractions
I want to wake up and find a world in remission
Free from the grasp of the human condition
But when were all trapped inside static screens
Trained from birth just to nod and agree
I dont wanna believe that well be forever fast asleep
Swim through the ones and zeros
So hard to tell the villains from heroes
Static mirror, life isnt black and white
I understand its hard to choose whats right
Whiteout swallows us all
Once snow-blind, we wont care at all
What if they say isnt true?
What if they want isnt best for you? |
Ive been out for so long, the days slipped by again
And I cant sleep since I stopped caring
I cant sleep since I stopped caring
Ill stay out until my lungs bleed
And I cant tell daylight from streetlights any-fucking-more
As he cast his shadow
Ive seen this road a thousand times and I, I cant look back
And Ive seen this road a thousand times and I cant, Im not looking back
This is so unfamiliar: death is no mans friend
And Ill stay here until I hear him roar
Death is screaming my name
Yet I refuse to listen to him
I refuse, to listen, to him
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
To listen
Ill stay out until my lungs bleed
And I cant tell daylight from streetlights any-fucking-more
As he cast his shadow
Ive seen this road a thousand times and I, I cant look back
And Ive seen this road a thousand times and I cant, Im not looking back
I cant sit here forever
Watch me rise again
Watch me rise back up
Forever would just be so easy to fall into
Yet Ill stay out until my lungs bleed
Forever is the easy option but I wont take it
I wont take it, no
The choices Ive made, will lead me, to an early, fucking, grave!!!
Death is screaming
Death is screaming
Death is screaming, my fucking name! |
Our story began in the heart of a star
Weve lost our way, forgotten what we are
We are only particles in motion
Floating through space, a destructive race
What a destructive race
Look at this life as a grain of sand
The blink of an eye, a world in your hands
Look at this life as a grain of sand
The blink of an eye
Were all thinking, feeling, surviving, believing
In what we think is right, refract distorted light
You helped build this fire inside of me
Breathing fire wont burn down the borders
Set against everything that came before us
All those things that you despise
We all see through human eyes
Thinking, feeling, surviving, believing
In what we think is right, refract distorted light
You helped build this fire inside of me
Breathing fire wont burn down the borders
Set against everything that came before us
There is no side for us to choose
Bound together, we all win or all lose
Look at this life as a grain of sand
The blink of an eye, a world in your hands
Look at this life as a grain of sand
The blink of an eye, a world in your hands
Oh, life is so short, take a moment to feel alive
I know all we meant was to expand and to thrive
But we sharpened our claws and we went to war
With ourselves, with each other, with the rich and with the poor
With anyone different who believes in less or more
Step out of the shadow, cast by left and right wings
Take refuge in each other and the triumph that it brings
Since we stood on two feet, weve been worth so much more
Now tear down the walls that were built to divide
Its time to extinguish that fire that fire inside |
The old appeals to racial, sexual, and religious chauvinism, and to rabid nationalist fervor are beginning not to work
A new consciousness is developing which sees the Earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed
We are one planet |
Always the one with a face on
Always the one with never enough
He was the boy that broke your trust
Because he was never around enough
Sit around and hear these stories
Wishing we were somewhere else
How I wish that I could find the words to save this
My so-called friend
My so-called friend
When will we see you again
My so-called friend
My so-called friend
When will we see you again
I was the one with the face on
I was the one with never enough
I was the boy that broke your trust
Because I was never around enough
I sit around and tell these stories
Wishing I was somewhere else
Oh how I wish I found the words to save this
My so-called friend
My so-called friend
I wish I found the words to save this
I’m pushing it out
Find the words to save this
I’m pushing it out
My so-called friend
My so-called friend
When will we see you again
My so-called friend
My so-called friend
When will we see you again
When will we see you again |
Burn everything you have and leave it all behind
Lose all your inhibitions
Ill take the mess you made and Ill make it beautiful
Oh, if time only stood still forever, oh
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile again
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile again
This moment that were in is slow and disappointing
Time will never stand still forever
If you take this chance weve got we can make it beautiful
If youd taken my word Id be your saviour
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile again
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Ill be the one to make you smile again
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Hold out your hands and lean upon me
Hold out your hands and lean upon me!
Hold out your hands and lean upon me!
Burn everything you have and leave it all behind
Lose all your inhibitions
I took the mess you made and I made it beautiful
Oh, if time only stood still forever, forever |
Remember when hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears Ive shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
Cause its not enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But its never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
Its like a brand new doomsday
The embers still glow when Im sober
The gold in the flame burns brighter now
I have to rebuild, now its over
Maybe now Im lost, I can live
Souls dont break, they bend
But I sometimes forget
I have to do this for you
And the only way out is through
Death is an open door
Words the prophets said
Still swimming through my head
Now theres no stars left in the sky
Cause this well will never run dry
What if I completely forget?
What if I never accept?
Cause when you fade away
Its like a brand new doomsday
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
Cause its not enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But its never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like a brand new doomsday
Its like a brand new doomsday |
Navigation in nautical twilight
Separation from what we know is right
The wind was taking us in the wrong direction
Its about time we showed some disaffection
Carry the weight of thousands of years
Turn the page, lets make it all disappear
Weve had enough of inhibited progression
Held back by cloak and dagger oppression
Were insulting our own intelligence
I wont listen without any evidence
Ill live my life in the name of no one
Bow your head, palm to palm
Worship here, in this cerebral cathedral
As day breaks, the sunlight heals
As day breaks, the light reveals
These chains that weve been living in
How easily weve been giving in
Now shed this skin and let change begin
As day breaks, the sunlight heals
As day breaks, the light reveals
Navigation in nautical twilight
Separation from what we know is right
It feels to me like this boat is sinking
Weighed down by rational thinking
It feels to me like this boat is sinking
Weighed down by rational thinking
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn, relieve the friction
Blue hours quicken the pulse
Upon the upper edge, reality dawns
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn, relieve the friction
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn, relieve the friction! |
When time resets, we all become zero
Decimals apart, take us back to the start
Tear down the walls, built to divide
Can you feel that fire growing?
When time resets, we all become zero
Decimals apart, take us back to the start
Tear down the walls, built to divide
Can you feel that fire growing?
Were standing on the edge of the event horizon
Moments before the Earth starts to flatline
Were standing on the edge of the event horizon
Moments before the Earth starts to flatline |
Weve found a taste for self-destruction
A blind eye for blatant dysfunction
Weve found a taste for self-destruction
Were all born in black blood!
Theres an imminence stirring like a siren singing
Theres a debt to pay but they keep on drilling
Why is simple truth so hard to tell?
We had an Eden and turned it into hell
Born in black blood!
Because this distance in our minds
Is the distance that were behind
I cant forgive, we wont forget
I cant forgive, we wont forget
The lonely sound of the final drip
Like the starting gun marking the end of it
On the shoulders of forever, its a long way to fall
Black gold will be the death, the death of us all!
Black drought, the word will spread
Of the time we found what the earth bled
Born in black blood!
Because this distance in our minds
Is the distance that were behind
I cant forgive, we wont forget
I cant forgive, we wont forget
Because this distance in our minds
Is the distance that were behind
I cant forgive, we wont forget
I cant forgive, we wont forget
We wont forget, we wont forget
Black drought, word will spread
Of the time we found what the earth bled
Weve found the cancer inside of our heads
Theres no turning back now, were as good as dead
When the well dried up, no one cared
But when the hell shows up, theyll all stop and stare
When the well dried up, no one cared
But when the hell shows up, theyll all stop and stare
Weve found the cancer inside of our heads
No turning back now, were as good as dead
Weve found the cancer inside of our heads
No turning back now, were as good as dead
I cant forgive, we wont forget
I cant forgive, we wont forget
I cant forgive, we wont forget
I cant forgive, we wont forget |
Can I blame it on you?
I just cant win
I just cant win
Two years spent wandering through the loneliest of minds
Cant seem to find a good excuse this time, for me and for this to fall apart
Shall I blame it on myself, or this routine that Ive been stuck in?
Ive lost count of how many times Ive tried to get out of this routine
But its holding so fucking tight
I cant handle another day of this
I just cant win
I just cant win
Get me out alive
Oh God, I mean it
These are violent days for you and I
I just, I just cant handle another day of this routine
I just cant win, I just cant win
Get me out alive
Two years spent wondering through the loneliest of minds
Ive found my excuse this time
Your words are wearing me down
A constant frown upon my back
Ive lost count of how many times Ive tried to get out of this routine
But its holding so fucking tight
Ive lost count of how many times Ive tried to get out of this routine
But its holding so fucking tight
So fucking tight
Follow the water
Drain the lake and bring it back to me
Follow the water
Drain the lake and bring it back to me
Follow the water
Drain the lake and bring it back to me
Follow the water
Drain the lake and bring it back to me |
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
Try to find my place in this
Digging teeth into the hand that feeds
So inhuman, Im surprised you bleed
Cutting teeth, fading belief
Flip the switch and drag me in
When theyve had their way, I doubt Ill even dream
When theyve had their way, I doubt Ill even dream
I doubt Ill even dream
Stray from the path and youre on your own
Lightning strikes in the unknown, the unknown
The view from here, even the blind would see
That none of us were ever free
Ill be the lines in-between
The ones that tell you what you want and need
You want and needed
I am only rust on the machine, amber corrosion
The loudest truth you never heard, a silent explosion
I am only rust on the machine, amber corrosion
Ill be the lines in-between
The ones that tell you what you want and need
Take my head from the clouds
Lift my feet from the ground
Take my head from the clouds
Last note dies, they dont make a sound
Stray from the path and youre on your own
Lightning strikes in the unknown, the unknown
The view from here, even the blind would see
That none of us were ever free, were ever free |
Pick yourself up
Stop loving, start living
Dont get held back
Thats where they want you to be
I never paid much attention to them
Every time they pushed us aside
We got back up again
Yeah we made it through the rain
Just to live another day without them
Pick yourself back up and learn to live
Stop caring, stop thinking
Pick yourself back up and learn to live
The grass is greener on the other side, so dont give up on life
Never back down, do this for yourself
You dont need anyone to get you where you deserve
I never paid much attention to them
Every time they push us aside
We jump back up again
Yeah, we made it through the rain
Just to live another day without them
Every time they push us aside
We jump back up again
Yeah, we made it through the rain
Just to live another day without them
We are the ones you left out in the rain
Come back tomorrow and well be here again
We are the ones you left out in the rain
Come back tomorrow and well be here again
We are the ones you left out in the rain
Come back tomorrow and well be here again
We are the ones you left out in the rain
Come back tomorrow and well be here again
Here again...
We made it through the rain just to live another day
We made it through the rain just to live another day
We made it through the rain just to live another day
We made it through the rain, the rain |
In the bigger picture, Ive been painted out
Cracks in the earth blacken the sea
No canvas is reserved for me
Look up close and try to see
In every stroke, lies past alone
Too close to home, cutting too close to bone
The ink has dried and words repeat
Too close to home, cutting too close to the bone
Its too easy to admit defeat
Time flies, flies, flies as you lay your bones to rest
Flies, flies as your past decays inside your chest
You arent a child fighting in a war
Son, please dont tell me that this is bored
Tear your things out from the earth
Long departed, were so short-sighted
Too close to home, cutting too close to bone
The ink has dried and words repeat
Too close to home, cutting too close to the bone
Its too easy to admit defeat
My tongue has sung around the world
But its heard in all the power of words
It cannot be, it cannot count
So now its a sadistic power in me
My tongue has sung around the world
But its heard in all the power of words
So hell turned and birthed all means
Were all the earths disease
Too close to home, cutting too close to bone
The ink has dried and words repeat
Too close to home, cutting too close to the bone
Its too easy to admit defeat |
Sowing the seeds
Roots dig deep while we sleep
Snakes in veins, valves decay
All the meaningless words we say
Cast the first stone from behind the throne
Crown of thorns now overgrown
All our wants and needs bring us to our knees
Cant turn back now, the seeds are sown
Seven billion, one of a kind
Collide together, intertwined
National lines used to define
Where we draw the enemy lines
Cast the first stone from behind the throne
Crown of thorns now overgrown
All our wants and needs bring us to our knees
Cant turn back now, the seeds are sown
Weapons arent used in this war
Wait for the fallout from this absence of thought
All the things we cant afford to ignore
The sun doesnt shine anymore
Weapons arent used in this war
Wait for the fallout from this absence of thought
All the things we cant afford to ignore
The sun doesnt shine anymore |
Take your time to find me
I cant promise where Ill be
These nights I feel so restless
Tonight I feel useless
Take your time to find me
I cant promise where Ill be
These nights I feel so restless
Tonight Im useless
Blaming myself for every wrong move
I shouldve thought this through
Before I pulled you down with me
Motionless I lay
When your words could save me from this situation
Ive been lying here for what it seems like days
And it was my mistake from the start
Take your time to find me
I cant promise where Ill be
It was my mistake from the start
Take your time to find me
I cant promise where Ill be
It was my mistake from the start
Motionless I lay with no words to save me
Staring blankly into concerned eyes
I needed the right words to become commendable
I needed the right words but I just cant find them, I just cant find them
OH!
Ill spend years making you believe
I was just a bad dream, just a bad dream
And it was my mistake from the start
Ive been lying here for what seems like days
Take your time to find me
I cant promise where Ill be
It was my mistake from the start
Take your time to find me
I cant promise where Ill be
It was my mistake from the start
Im determined to find a way out
To disconnect myself from you again
How can I? How shall I? My one chance, all to you
How can I feel like I shattered my... oh... tonight?
Ill spend years making you believe
That I was only a bad dream
Im determined to find a way out
To disconnect myself from you again
How can I? How shall I? My one chance, all to you
How can I feel like I shattered my, one chance tonight? |
The years I put into this
It could take a second to tear down years of work
And we wont get these days back again
And I cant understand why Ive been put here
Im stuck in a world of sympathy with nobody watching over me
And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted
Someone, tell me how Ive ended up here
With nobody watching over me? Oh
We need to bring back the days we used to love
Before all the colour drains away
And I cant understand why Ive been put here
Im stuck in a world of sympathy with nobody watching over me
And I cant understand why Ive been put here
Im stuck in a world of sympathy with nobody watching over me
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those, sing it loud
Where did they go? The days we used to know
Where did they go? Have I forgotten what it feels like?
Where did they go? The days we used to know
Where did they go? Have I forgotten what it feels like?
And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted, oh |
And I cant seem to get a hold of this
This mess seems to be taking
Its grasp on every
Everything that we once worked for
And I cant bear to watch
Everything just fall around me
And Ive been struggling for so long, so long
And Ive been looking for a way
To make everything just fall into place
When the red glazes over my eyes
Theres nothing anyone can say or do
Just you try and stop me
Try and stop what Ive become
How I wish there was a way
And Ive been struggling for so long, so long
And Ive been looking for a way
To make everything just fall into place
Everything just falls into place
Every word I ever said
Is making sense again
When the red glazes over my eyes
Theres nothing anyone can say or, say or do
And still today I cannot tell
Dreams from nightmares anymore
And still today I cannot tell
Dreams from nightmares anymore, anymore
And Ive been struggling for so long, so long
And Ive been looking for a way
To make everything just fall into place
If you reject the ones you love
Youll find yourself torn and broken again
If you reject the ones you love
Youll find yourself torn and broken again, again, again
If you reject the ones you love
Youll find yourself torn and broken again
If you reject the ones you love
Youll find yourself torn and broken again, again, again |
Im astounded, Im looking for a reason to leave
Im astounded, Im looking for a reason to leave
The years Ive put into everything I have
Everything I am
Im needing to find some peace of mind
To stop me leaving it all behind
These eyes have seen everything
But Ill keep looking
Its time to realize that my head
Is trying to take me down
Its time to realize that my head
Is trying to push
Trying to push me out
I’m screaming out for help
Months, years
Nobody hears
I’m screaming out, I’m screaming out
It’s time to realize that my head
Is trying to take me down
I’m screaming out to no-one
Im astounded still looking for a reason to leave
Im astounded still looking for a reason to leave
The years Ive put into everything I have, everything I have
Im needing to find some peace of mind
To stop me leaving it all behind
These eyes have seen everything
But Ill keep looking
Its time to take a step back
Look at my life and
Find a stable place to hide
Its time to take a step back
Look at my life and
Find a stable place to hide
Its time to take a step back
Look at my life and
Find a stable place to hide
A stable place to hide
Live everyday like your last
And take nothing for granted
Live everyday like your last
And take nothing for granted
Ill live everyday like my last
And Ill take none of this for granted
And Ill take none of this for granted
Ill take none of this for granted
Love as you want to be loved
And live the way that you know you should
Keep the good ones by your side
You never know when they might fly up, up and away
Forever in mind, my mind
Ill be by your, your side
Forever in my mind, youll be there
Love as you want to be loved
And live the way that you know you should
Keep the good ones by your side
You never know when they might fly up, up and away |
Fuck
Heavy eyes on a broken bottle
This is all that well want to see tomorrow
Youll never know, what comes next
Still, well never trust, hands around our necks
Around our necks
Cross your fingers and hope for the best
Count the lights on the wall, try to get some rest
Everyone feels like they carry a curse
If we lose control, we wont be the first
The road is lost, and you start to slip
When you hit the edge, the scales chip
The world might turn upside down
The night, my passion finds another town
We count on lucky stars, one day theyll open up
We live day by day in a shadow of doubt
While the motion slow, as we collide
While I see my life, flash before my eyes
Youll never know what comes next
Still, well never trust, hands around our necks |
Every other question youll never find the answer to
They can hear us but we will never see them
Do you feel safe?
Do you even understand me?
Do you even understand me?
We make no difference when numbers count for nothing
We make no difference if choices have been made
When your path has already been walked
When your hourglass is fooling you
What can you rely on?
Time is our only friend, now
Oh Will we be.. x2
And If my life was to end today, It wouldnt change the world, in any way
This sudden realization is tearing me apart
This life is so perfect
What can be said of the end?
What will happen when our time comes
Who will stand the final test of time?
Every other question youll never find the answer to
They can hear us but we will never see, them
And If my life was to end today, It wouldnt change the world, in any way
Oh Will we be .. x2 resurrected?
This life is so perfect
What can be said of the end
Will we be, resurrected resurrected? x2
Oh this life is so perfect! x |
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer
Capital greed paired with vestigial superstition
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer
Angels and demons, money and munitions
Your left wing clipped, buy a gun for Jesus
Opportunities for all those willing to pay
Out of sight and out of mind
Too afraid of the horror that you might find
Out of sight and out of mind
How much does your faith cost?
Celestial shepherd watches over his flock
What about those black sheep that he forgot?
Unanswered faith is everything that theyve got
Id like to think youre everything that Im not
Unanswered faith is everything that theyve got
Youre everything that Im not
Something here doesnt add up
Something here doesnt add up
Id like to think that youre everything
Youre everything that Im not
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer
Capital greed paired with vestigial superstition
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer
Angels and demons, money and munitions
Your charity starts and ends at home
Your conscience called but you hung up the phone
Your charity starts and ends at home
Your conscience called but you hung up the phone |
I am your hero still I sleep alone at night
In years youll thank me for getting everything right
I am the sun still I sit alone in a red sky
Keeping my eyes on you
Keeping my eyes on you
Were all alone
In time youll find that
Were all on our own
Were all on our own, chasing nothing
My dreams have fallen, Im wearing thin
I need something to fill this void Im constantly in
And I cant do this
I am your hero and I just dont care tonight
In years youll forget me, I got everything right
I am the sun and I didnt rise today
I left you in darkness
And I just dont care anymore about you
You can sit and suffer alone without me
I am your hero
Save your Thank yous
I am your hero
Save your Thank yous
In times to come, Ill rise above this
But for now, Ill just sit here
My dreams have fallen once again
My dreams have fallen once again
I need something to fill this void Im in
Keeping my eyes on you
Were all alone |
Another cold dark night, left alone
Your arrogance will lead to the death of you
Ill be the one to pull your head back down
Remove your hollow crown
So far from the truth you hide away
Ill be the one to pull your head back down
Remove your hollow crown
Remove your hollow crown
Ill die, Ill die happy knowing that I will never be anything like you
What gives you the right to silence me?
What gives you the right to silence?
All my life Ive wanted just to feel like this
You came, you conquered, you gave it away
All my life Ive wanted just to feel like this
You came, you conquered, you gave it away
And how does it feel staring down on your idols grave
The one you once looked up to has fallen into dust
The one you once looked up to has fallen away
Whats left for you?
Whats left for you in this fickle world?
What gives you the right?
What gives you the right to silence me?
What gives you the right to silence me?
What gives you the right to silence?
Whats left for you?
Whats left in this fickle world?
Remove your crown |
Its run down the back of my head, the back of my mind
About a hundred thousand times
And I cant seem to shake it, seem to shake it
Addictions tying me down
Pull me under
I cant take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop
Youve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
Ive been through this patch before
Youve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
Ive been through this patch before
Ive been through this patch before
Im lost and alone in my head
And I cant make sense of myself
I need to find a simple way to make this pain just disappear
I know Ill never feel safe in my own skin
Pull me under
I cant take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop
Youve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
Ive been through this patch before
Youve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
Ive been through this patch before
No matter how long Im gone for
Its at the back of my mind
Another sleepless night
Somebody, get me home
No matter how long Im gone for
Its at the back of my mind
Another sleepless night
Somebody, get me home
Im so far down
And theres nothing anyone can say to me
Im so down, Im so down
Im so down, Im so down, Im so down
Youve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
Ive been through this patch before
Youve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
Ive been through this patch before
Ive been through this patch before |
The long walk home
Back to a no name town
Where people pass me by
In red and white lines
Your only son cant make you proud
The moon and stars, this frozen clock
And if in years to come we can talk like friends
Can I close my eyes and wake up then?
And if in years to come we can talk like friends
Can I close my eyes and wake up then?
Drown out the sound of adulthood
With songs that fell from out of space
At seventeen I wouldnt dare to dream
Because hopes a dangerous thing
Hopes a dangerous thing
I wont thank God, Ill thank my friends
For sticking by till were home again
What matters most to me belongs to you
Because hopes a dangerous thing
Hopes a dangerous thing
I pinch myself to see
That if this curtain drops, this isnt me
Pack my bags, no time to waste
We leave no trace of us
Still my pillow rings
I pinch myself to see
That if this curtain drops, this isnt me
Pack my bags, no time to waste
We leave no trace of us
Still my pillow rings
Still my pillow rings |
Stay young forever
Youve done this to yourself or so, so it seems
Youve left behind everything
All your friends and all your family
Does it not feel slightly daunting
How do you sleep at night
When you must be able to hear them fight
Its all about you
All about the way you choose to live
You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough
You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough
How did it come to this
Is there any point to this, are you even listening to us
Are you even listening to us
You still left everyone you loved
Crushed, broken, snapped straight in half
You still left everyone you loved
Crushed, broken, snapped straight in half
You made your choice, now turn and get out
You made your choice, now turn and get out
How do you sleep at night
Its all about you, its all about you
How do you sleep at night
Its all about you, its all about you
You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough
You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough
You left everyone
Crushed, broken, snapped straight in half |
Ive watched you from a distance but never spoken a word
I have seen every flaw your try to hide from the world
I sit silent in shadows watching the paths you have made
If only you knew my intentions
Ive watched you make the same mistakes over and over
This is not healthy
I need to some how stop this
But your beauty intrigues me
It seems to be pulling me in
All I want is a moment or something I can hold close for eternity
Ive watched you make the same mistakes over and over
If only you knew my name and all of my motives
Yet I sit in the same place every night and wait for you to come back home
I sit and wait for you to come back home
A few moments would help me find myself
But this problem has taken its tragic grip
Just a few moments, just a few moments will help me find myself again
If only you knew my name and all of my motives
I need to somehow stop this
All I need is a moment or something I can hold close for eternity
Something I can hold close to me |
Never, never lose sight of what you started it for
No matter what comes in between
And I, I used to think
That I knew better than those around me
But something changed along the way
And you’re the reason I’m wanting to stay
I used to sink and now I swim
I’ve had to work for everything
When will you recognize youre it, youre the reason I feel so alive
And no one else comes in between
And I, I used to think
That I knew better than those around me
But something changed along the way
And youre the reason Im wanting to stay
I cant turn my back and leave you
After all youve done for me
I cant turn my back and leave you
After all youve done for me
The blues have wrapped their arms around me
And I cant make sense of it
The blues have wrapped their arms around me
I wish it was you instead
The blues have wrapped their arms around me
And I can’t make sense of it
The blues have wrapped their arms around me
Oh how I wish it was you instead
I never knew I could feel like this
I never knew I could feel like this
The blues have wrapped their arms around me
Oh how I wish it was you instead
The blues have wrapped their arms around me, yeah
The blues have wrapped their arms around me
Oh how I wish it was you instead
You instead |
After all is said and done
Im left with reflections of your eyes
Haunting my mind - so dead inside
What good came out of this?
I was the one that tore you down
I was the one that tore you...
yet oh so guilty
Every last breath I have is yours to keep
This constant cloud is watching over me
Oh I wish I had the time to make you see this through
See this through
Weve been here too many times
Ive felt this too many times
Weve been here too many times
Oh god, I am this
Im dead
On the inside, looking out
For you
And your final words
This constant cloud is watching over me
Oh I wish I had the time to make you see this through
This constant cloud is watching over me
Oh I wish I had the time to make you see this one through
See this one through
And after all is said and done
Im left with reflections of your eyes
Haunting my mind
Im so dead inside
What good came out of this?
I was the one that tore you down
Down
Im down
Yet oh so guilty
Now Im not used to this |
We are the misguided youth
They backed us into a corner
All our lives weve been infected
They should have never had a chance
Because theyre forcing us to believe
In a world we shouldnt trust
Delete, rewind
And try to change this state of mind
Give us something to believe in
Give us something to make our own
Give us something to believe in
Give us something to make our own
When we will we stand up and choose our paths?
This is the end of the world
At least thats what were told
This is the end of the world
Board up your windows and lock the doors
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights
Oh, this is getting old
We are the misguided youth
We sat back and lost our voices
Delete, rewind
Try to change this state of mind
Delete, rewind
And try to change this
Because theyre pushing us to the left
In a world we shouldnt trust
Delete, rewind
And try to change this state of mind
I dont believe you knew it all, you knew it all along
Delete, rewind, delete, rewind
When will we stand up
Weve been through enough
When will we stand up
Howd we let them get the best of us?
When will we stand up
Weve been through enough
When will we stand up
Howd we let them take the best of us? |
Believe in yourself, believe in each other
Believe that were nothing more than sisters and brothers
Believe that together we can change for the best
Believe that these words are more than wasted breath
Are more than wasted breath |
Im looking back on a time when I could say
I actually thought I cared about you
But after everything Ive been put through
I realize Ive been living with false hope
Its drowning out my senses
I realize Ive been living with false hope
Its drowning out my thoughts
This has gone oh so confusing
And Ive only got myself to blame
I cant believe oh what was I thinking
Ive only got myself to blame
You mean nothing to me - and you never fucking did
I cant stand to listen to your excuses anymore
I can only pray that you feel so alone
And a guilty conscience hangs over your head
I cant believe oh what was I thinking
And Ive only got myself
To blame in all of this
Ive got nothing to depend on
Oh Ive got nothing to depend on
I realize
That Ive been living with false hope
Its drowning out my senses
Its drowning out my thoughts
With nothing to depend on anymore
You mean nothing to me - and you never fucking did |
Resist, rise against
Tuning out the message they sent
Waking up, things never felt so clear
All of it ceased, I want it to pass
Armed to the teeth
With words that give me some meaning
Cover up the mistakes that you made
You better believe this feeling wont fade
Digging deep, theres a long way to go
But theres some things that we want you to know
These pills must be bitter to swallow
What despair waits for us tomorrow?
This is only a matter of time
One day youre gonna pay for your crime
Armed to the teeth
With words that give me some meaning
Oh, Im wide awake, but Im still dreaming
Im still dreaming
Ill clinch my name, Im fading now
But were not ready just to lay down and die
The clouds are smoke signals, so youll find your way
Spread the word of the mess that were in
This is a chance to live through my end
Im wide awake, but I still hear you
Armed to the teeth
With words that give me some meaning
Oh, Im wide awake, but Im still dreaming
Im still dreaming |
When in Troy
Do as the Greeks do
This is treacherous
This is cold-hearted betrayal
Move in for the kill
And youre all traitors
Well fight them to the death
To the death
Burn down the houses
Loot all the churches
Burn down the houses
Burn down the houses
And we found the time to pray
Pray that our justice be done
Pray by the light of the moon
That were not here
Well fight them to the death
Well fight them to the death
Fight them to the death
To the death
When in Troy
Do as the Greeks do
This is treacherous
Move in for the kill |
Send my regards
To you and yours
Im not coming back for you
And Ill hold onto the last memory of you
Ill hold onto you and bury you at sea
How can you watch me split in two?
Youve done this before, you know me oh too well
Send my regards to you and yours
And no hope will come from this
So turn around and run
How can you smile when you see me crumbling?
And we all stood back and watched the waves crash down on you
And send my regards to you and yours
And theres no hope for someone as cold as you
You made me sink into the coldest of waves
I watch you sink into lies that you created
I watch you sink into lies that you created |
I admire your perseverance!
Every time my back is turned your falling so much closer into my world
Ive told you so many times you need to back down, need to back down
I told you you need to walk away
All the countless efforts I have made
One day Ill get you back, I swear Ill get you back
Will this ever end or will time stand still forever?
Will this ever end or will time stand still forever?
Everytime my back is turned youre falling closer to my world
How can you sleep when you know what youre doing to me?
Everytime my back is turned youre falling closer to my world
How can you sleep when you know what youre doing to me?
I told you you need to walk away
Fuck all the efforts that I have made
Ive got you right where I want you
After all the years Ive known you when did you decide to fuck this up?
After all the years Ive known you when did you decide to try and fuck this up?
I still admire your perseverance!
How did you think youd get away with
How did you think youd get away with
How did you think youd get away with this?!
With this
With this
And its time to teach you a lesson that youre never gonna fucking forget!
You are never gonna forget, not any time soon!
Youre never gonna forget me!
Youre never gonna forget me!
Brargh! |
It feels like someone is following my every footstep around every corner
And there are times when I know Ive felt someone else with me
I swear Ive felt your breath down the back of my neck once before
I swear Ive felt your breath down the back of my neck once before
Im never giving up till I find you
Ill never rest until I find you
I refuse to rest and I refuse to sleep until I have you in my sights
Its gone too far, a few steps behind
Where are you now?
What is the meaning, why are you doing this to me?
What is the meaning, why are you doing this to me?
How can you do this?
Ill never sleep until I find you
Till I find you
I swear Ive felt your presence once before
Or has my paranoia gone far too far?
I cant close my eyes without thinking that Im losing control!
I cant close my eyes without thinking that Im losing control!
I swear Ive felt your breath down the back of my neck once before
I swear Ive felt your breath down the back of my neck once before
Im never giving up till I find you
Ill never rest until I find you
Ill never rest and Ill never sleep till I get my hands around your neck
Its gone too far, a few steps behind
Im coming for you now
All I seem to hear in my head is your voice on repeat
I close my eyes and I still fucking see you
All I seem to hear in my head is your voice on repeat
I close my eyes and I still fucking see you there! |
Well, I met you at the blood bank, we were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colours matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said: See, look, thats yours, stacked on top with your brothers
See how they resemble one another even in their plastic little covers
And I said I know it well
That secret that you knew, but dont know how to tell
It fucks with your honour, and it teases your head
But you know that its good, girl cause its running you with red
Then the snow started falling, we were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands, chewing on a candy bar
You said: Aint this just like the present to be showing up like this?
As a moon waned to crescent, we started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know, that we dont know how to tell
Im in love with your honour, Im in love with your cheeks
Whats that noise up the stairs, babe? Is that Christmas morning creaks?
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I, I know it well
And I, I know it well
And I, I know it well
And I, I know it well, I know it well
And I, I know it well |
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
And I watched a change in you
Its like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
Ive watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
And I watched a change in you
Its like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
Ive watched you change
Its like you never had wings
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away
And I watched a change in you
Its like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
Ive watched you change
Now you feel alive
You feel alive
You feel alive
Ive watched you change
Its like you never had wings
Youve changed
Youve changed
Youve changed
Youve changed |
I dont feel homesick, Im just so sick of home
Its here that reminds me of everything weve been through
And it tears me down
It makes me sick of being who I am, of who I cannot be
A constant reminder
I dont feel homesick, Im just so sick of home
Its here that reminds me of everything weve been through
Cold nights, again left alone
Wandering streets all on my own
And all of this for you
Its time that I went back for just even an hour
To talk to you to make things fine again
Again and again I will run from you |
If only you were here
To hold my head above bloody waters
We could make it through
You turned your back on me
And now I do the same to you
You made me feel so hollow
How can the man that you looked up to
Turn around and say three words
That hurt more than youll ever know
You dont know what it feels like to be in my shoes
You turned your back on me as I stood there and fell to the floor
You turned your back on me as I stood there and fell to the floor
This time theres no reason for me
To turn around and scream for help
But if only you were here
To hold my head above all those things you said to tie me down
Im looking for forgiveness for something that I didnt even do
How can you call yourself an idol
A person to trust?
How can I look so high up to you when youre always holding me down?
How can I look up so high when youre holding me down? |
All is not lost, all is not lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
Waiting for a sign washed up on the shoreline
Ill always carry the cross, but all is not lost
I just cant relate a crack in the floodgate
Life comes at a cost, but all is not lost
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Now its time to sink or swim
Ive got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Taking back whats mine, but its lost to the skyline
A bridge I cannot cross, but all is not lost
Now theres no escape; God, what a sorry state
Love comes at a cost, but all is not lost
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Now its time to sink or swim
Ive got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Can you fill the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?
Can you fill the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever
Now its time to sink or swim
Ive got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy Ghost, nothing lasts forever |
For weeks Ive felt lost and I cant see the light
Shining through the darkest of days
What can I do to stop myself from hiding my thoughts
From this world of lies?
Ive felt so lost for far too long
Trying to leave it all behind
I find I cannot forgive myself for feeling like this
How can I even begin to forgive myself for all the things Im thinking of doing to you?
How can I forgive myself for this?
But its all in your head
You just walk out of my life and you expect me to let you back in
With open arms Ill turn to you
For weeks Ive felt lost and I cant see the light
So Ill do this one alone
Ill hide my thoughts from you
Is it beyond impossible for me to hold on for you?
Is it beyond you to forgive me?
If not Ill do it on my own time
How can I forgive myself?
For my world is slowly falling down
And you just stand there and watch me fall |
The towers that shoulder your pride
The words youve written in stone
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you
The streets that suffer your name
Your very flesh and your bones
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you
So put your faith in more than steel
Dont store your treasures up with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
Oh, we live in but a shadow of the real
Step out from time and see the dust of nations
Step out from time and hear the stars ovation
Saturn will not sleep until the sand has made us clean
Still, we stack our stones and bury what we can
But it all will be undone, and nothing built under the sun
Will ever stand before the endless march of sand
So put your faith in more than steel
Dont store your treasures up with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
Oh, we live in but a shadow of the real
So put your faith in more than steel
Dont store your treasures up with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
Oh we live in but a shadow of the real |
I will spill blood
On your filthy princess whites
Come home tonight
So I can slit your throat
Every time you discard my heart
Your ships sinking fast
The colours are fading
Save me again tonight, you know Ill make it count
Princess, theres more to life than robbing banks
You wont walk away from this broken heart
Slash my arms
Tear off my limbs
I will never back down to your sin |
The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.
en
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/architects")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text
: a string
feature.train | validation | test |
---|---|---|
134 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/architects")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
