Truth
03:32

Without a clue,
I walk this crooked world in search for freedom, for life
Unless it's truth,
I've got no time for conversation
I can't sit still,
I've got to chase the sun in search for reason, for light
My freedom
My life
My reason
My light
I'm so confused, somehow I know I'm a short candle
Someday I'll use
The love I've found and burn out with my freedom, my smile
These are my shoes,
Feel free to walk my world when I'm gone
And don't be blue,
This life's a joke you'll get when you've found reasons to love.
Found reasons to love
My freedom
My life
My reason
My light
My freedom
My smile
My reason to love

Lidocaine

No pain, no need for reflex, my nerves are fried
My eyes are warm and lifeless, you look alive
How have you been theses past days? I feel your shine
The question don't go both ways, I swear I'm fine
I've had enough of pain
I hang it up in frames
I sleep in Lidocaine
Can't feel a fucking thing
My face is numb and stupid, I twist my tongue
I use the broken brain cells to waste my time
Today is the best day of my life, I found some friends
We mostly hang out in my mind and play pretend
I've had enough of pain
I hang it up in frames
I sleep in Lidocaine
Can't feel a fucking thing
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless
My eyes are warm and lifeless

Excess
01:39
|

|
I live, I live for recess, making time for making time
I ask for no forgiveness, I feed the worms that eat my mind
I smile in all their pictures, but turn and spit at their devise
In sheets of salt I'm bleeding, as I control my fall I'm screaming
Yeah!
x3
I found myself in excess, sucked right in and left to die
I search for shameless witness, look right through my liar's eyes
These lullabies of sickness will always keep me up an night
In self-assault im selfless, as I control my fall I'm screaming
Yeah!
x3

Killing Machines
03:44

Power to the people isn't voting for a system
That doesn't even stand up for the values that it's preaching
This is not democracy it's oligarchic prison
Your votes will not affect the ones who own the politicians
I dream of a better world
And I wake up in my cell
I think of the living hell
That we confuse with a better tomorrow
Your hero's your zeros; killing machines
Think for yourself, they'll do it for you if you let them
Social media makes the thoughts so you dont have to think them
It's not just a feed of mass disruption, its a weapon
Digitizing wars by spreading stigmatic delusions
I dream of a better world
And I wake up in my cell
I think of the living hell
That we confuse with a better tomorrow
Your hero's your zeros; killing machines
Fuck the world, build shopping malls instead
Trade your lives for property
Sell your souls, to all the MNCs
They'll wreck the world for you and me
Your hero's your zeros; killing machines
Fuck the world, build shopping malls instead
Trade your lives for property
Sell your souls, to all the MNCs
They'll wreck the world for you and me

Running From Myself
02:42
|

I'm running from myself
'Cause I don't wanna die
I just got back from hell
Please don't kill my high
Who am I supposed to be?
I can't breathe
I'd love to spark a change
But we're all insane
And it's all the same
Where's this leading?
My eyes are bleeding
I wish I could redirect the course of history...
But I'm running from myself
'Cause I don't wanna die
I just got back from hell
Please don't kill my high
We're offering ourselves
A gift wrapped suicide
I'd love to spark a change
But we're all the same
And it's all insane
Where's this leading?
My eyes are bleeding
I wish I could redirect the course of history...
Redirect the course of history...
But I can't breathe

Something Strange
04:38
|

|
I cut
Myself
Trying to open up
A can of memories
Somehow,
I felt
More alive than I do now
Somehow,
I felt
Older than
I do today
Something strange is happening
I can't find my head
It's in the clouds
As I lay on the ground,
Dying!
Somehow
I've turned
The screams
Into a symphony
I've made
Something
Blissful
That I can't see
Something strange is happening
I can't find my head
It's in the clouds
As I lay on the ground
Dying!
I've made
Something
Blissful
That I can't see
Something strange is happening
I can't find my head
It's in the clouds
As I lay on the ground
Dying!
Dying!

You're a train-wreck baby
I swear you're just like me
Don't care about nothing
Until you like what you see
Sink your roots into the poison
We'll grow the fruits they have forbidden
I like spitting at the mirror
I swear you're just like me
Speak the words that are unspoken
And break the rules that they have given
No sleep for the freaks (no)
That twist the words and paint the sheep (yeah)
Take it all, take it all away
And spit it back into my mouth for free
Make me small, take my breath away
And give it back when you please

King of Shit
03:51
|
|||
|
I'm bad at everything, so rise me up and crown me king
Of everything
Into the ground I sink, just let me go 'till its too late
A pig in shit
'Till I cant breathe,
I'll chase the pain
So watch me bleed,
I'm in love with damage
Somehow I find my peace
In sinking ships and crashing trains
So let it rain
And rust my strings
'Till I can't play
So watch me break
I'm in love with damage
I feel so tall when I stand so low
No more dreams, no more world
I feel so small that I need no hope
I'll burn it all and I won't get cold
So bring it on, and don't expect a thing from me because I'm the king of shit
Burning bridges, broken dreams,
Let it all go down and watch me sing, about anything
Bleeding hearts and shaking knees,
I think I fail to draw the line between the love and pain
So watch me bleed
I'm in love with damage

I Tried Hard
02:58
|

|
You sent
I tried hard
And I fucked it up again
I Played my cards
And I didn't even make it to the end
'Cause I am my fears
And I dont even know how I made it here
I Waste my time
Driving rusty nails into my mind
I'll be fine
Is just another stupid fucking lie
'Cause I am my fears
And I don't even know how I made it here(x2)
"I'm right here"
Is probably just something you'll never hear
Dry my tears
And tell me it's okay to live in fear
'Cause I can't see clear
And I don't even know what I'm doing here(x3)
I don't even know how I made it here
