Just go All this is okay It will soon go away I'm so hungry but the food, the food makes me nauseous Feeling sick when I'm looking in the mirror Desperate to find the reason of my failure I'm still hoping and begging I'm begging for forever Driving away, I'm screaming out loud I'm letting it go, I'm letting it out Beneath this hard shell of denial There is a fragile needy child You, you crossed your heart and hoped to die You pinky swore to tell no lies, no lies Nothing left, no footsteps, no bread crumbs Only the tragic sound, the sound of the drums I guess every love story is a tragedy If you wait long enough I guess red becomes burgundy If mixed with wrath Driving away, I'm screaming out loud I'm letting it go, I'm letting it out Beneath this hard shell of denial There is a fragile needy child I'm letting you go Goodbye, my friend Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Driving away I'm letting, letting it out I'm letting you go I'm letting you out Goodbye, goodbye I'm letting you go, goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

To chaos we obey Drowning in our disarray What is wrong with the world today? What? What? Too fast What is wrong with the world today? It's either too fast or everything is delayed Decisions are rushed, expectations high Impossible to tell the wrong from right Time is the fire in which we burn Time is the fire in which we burn Values are wrong, we took the wrong turn Nothing can grow, nothing can become In the kingdom of death that created time Time That created time You don't have to see in order to believe You have to believe in order to see Wake up You don't have to see You have to believe Stand up Wake up from this everlasting lethargy Stand up if you want to achieve Wake up from the everlasting lethargy Stand up if you want to achieve Wake up, wake up, wake up (Wake up) You don't have to see in order to believe You have to believe in order to see Stand up if you want to achieve Wake up from the everlasting lethargy Catatonic nation With power over nothing With faceless ambitions Standing for nothing Catatonic nation With power over nothing With faceless ambitions Standing for nothing The ignorance is mesmerizing Hunger for power is metastasizing To chaos we obey To chaos we obey We all live in disarray To chaos we obey

If you decide to enter this house Be prepared to hear laughter and cries Happy laughter for small, little things But also, cries with suffocating tears These walls keep memories of the good and the bad These windows keep secrets of the life I once had A life that turned out to be an illusion An illusion I was fed Domesticated by the song of a man I lost the divine gift of being myself Happy laughter for small, little things But also, cries with suffocating tears Take your shoes off You're in my house There's no dirt here No more lies All the little things here Mean everything The true shape Of an extinct reality My voice was always small in this house Careful and cautious, in its own place Domesticated by the song of a man I lost myself! Take your shoes off You're in my house There's no dirt here No more lies All the little things here Mean everything The true shape Of an extinct reality Domesticated by the song of a man I lost the divine gift of being myself

On the lakebed I lay Where you buried me in clay My eyes swollen shut At the core of the sorrow locked Chewed up, spat out and forgotten By cold torrents surrounded Fooled by the lying tides I fall, chasing butterflies Sunshine like knives can hurt you It can cut you, make you bleed If followed by hailstorm It can bruise you, make you shriek Sprinkles of iced showers Precipitating in the wrong hours Deluge of fire and sweat Killing the dew of regret Fooled by the lying tides I fall, chasing butterflies Sunshine like knives can hurt you It can cut you, make you bleed If followed by hailstorm It can bruise you, make you shriek

Polishing everything until it shines Including me Erasing the immaculate lies Surrounding me Another country, another city I'm on the stage, ignoring my heartbeat Another country, another city Swallowing emotions, feeling guilty! Another year, another November Spit and sweat drowning my anger Another year, another November The past cannot remain buried forever! Guilty for choosing this instead of that Beckoned by the cry of the sirens Hiding from the father of lies Learning to feel at home with the silence Another country, another city I'm on the stage, ignoring my heartbeat Another country, another city Swallowing emotions, feeling guilty! Another year, another November Spit and sweat drowning my anger Another year, another November The past cannot remain buried forever! Polishing everything Including me Erasing the lies Surrounding me

Take me back! Turn around the clock Take me back! I can't stand the tick-tock Take me back! Let the sound feel like forever An endless moment in the new era! Hovering in the stardust In all this glam we get lost Happy, naked and mutated A new version of the world is created When the song becomes infinity A pleasure of healing becomes an eternity I miss laughing and crying for hours Healing up and building strong towers Holding each other in sorrow Are we really fated to fail tomorrow? Happy, naked and mutated A new version of the world is created Hovering in the stardust In all this glam we get lost! Time is never the same again! It's cruel but, we need it like oxygen So cast away the thoughts about the past And stop hovering in the stardust!

Never sleep again! Are you asleep or are you awake? Never sleep again! Darkness like solid silver The moon light grows dimmer Nursing the heavy burden 9, 10 never sleep again! Lost in your surroundings Stuck within your boundaries Vigil, wakeful life Festered into the night The moonless, sleepless night Put a shadow on your eyes Thoughts wandering aimlessly Surrender to the dark carelessly Darkness like solid silver The moon light grows dimmer Nursing the heavy burden 9, 10 never sleep again All around you empty and black! Are you asleep or are you awake? Never sleep again!

All the things you have don't belong to you! Don't belong to this world, they are not a part of you! Your backpack is full of questions and doubts! About what's good what's bad About what's wrong what's right Your lips are dry, you're thirsty for life! But your strong fears blossom and thrive Loneliness, your constant companion This endless path is your rebellion Terra incognita become your destination The road is calling you to your annihilation Let the demons dance and thrive Opening the windows in the night! Deep night Dive fearlessly into a new chapter Full with life, full with laughter! All the things you have don't belong to you! Don't belong to this world, they are not a part of you! Your backpack is full of questions and doubts! About what's good what's bad About what's wrong what's right Your lips are dry, you're thirsty for life! But your strong fears blossom and thrive Let the demons dance and thrive Opening the windows in the night! Deep night Dive fearlessly into a new chapter Full with life, full with laughter!
