01. Patient Number 9

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, ha ha ha"
"Ha ha ha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Ha ha ha"
"I want to go home"
"Ha ha ha"
"Mommy, mommy"

Every hallway's painted white as the light
That will guide you to your help
Making friends with strangers inside my mind
'Cause they seem to know me well

Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down, then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
"No tomorrow"

When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane, you believe their lies
I'm not gettin' out, no, I'm not gettin' out alive (Ooh)
I'm not gettin' out 'cause I'm patient number nine (Ooh)

When the sun goes down, the animals cry
That's a sound you won't forget
It's the mirror's face you don't recognise
It'll get you in the end

Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down, then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
"Someone help me"

When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane, you believe their lies
I'm not gettin' out, no, I'm not gettin' out alive (Ooh)
I'm not gettin' out 'cause I'm patient number nine (Ooh)

When the walls of a padded cell become reality
How many tears till I ground myself 'cause no one cries for me?
If there's a God, why'd he let the Devil do his work on me? Oh yeah
If there's a God, what am I doing here?

When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane, you believe their lies
I'm not gettin' out, no, I'm not gettin' out alive (Ooh)
I'm not gettin' out 'cause I'm patient number nine (Ooh)

02. Immortal

I come alive at the second of midnight
So I can fly when the world is asleep
You scream and howl as I'm taking the first bite
Blood on my tongue tastes of eternity

People will come and go
Some stories never told
They bury me down below
But I'll never die
'Cause I'm immortal
Yes, immortal

The dogs are out and the kingdoms are falling
Dressed as your friends but they're your enemies
You fear the end 'cause you can't see it coming
Afraid to sleep 'cause I'm inside your dreams

People will come and go
Some stories never told
Bury me down below
But I'll never die
'Cause I'm immortal

People will come and go
Some stories never told
Bury me down below
But I'll never die
No, no
People will come and go
Some stories never told
Bury me down below
But I'll never die
'Cause I'm immortal

03. Parasite

I will close your eyes
Send you off with a lullaby
The moon has never seen a darker side
Howling at the sun
I won't hide from anyone
My fingerprints are tattooed on your mind

Mother tried
But everything I do makes her wanna cry
Father, why?
Why are you haunting me every night like a parasite?

A troubled little boy
Murder scene made of broken toys
Never had no love, never had no choice, yeah
Found comfort in my sins
I can't wait for the lights to dim
Impossible to stop when I begin

Mother tried
But everything I do makes her wanna cry, yeah
Father, why?
Why are you haunting me every night like a parasite?

Haunting me at night
Like a parasite, like a parasite

Mother tried
But everything I do just makes her cry, yeah
Father, why?
Why are you haunting me every night like a parasite?

Like a parasite, like a parasite
Why are you haunting me every night like a parasite?
Like a parasite, like a parasite
Why are you haunting me every night like a parasite?

I like worms

04. No Escape From Now

Too much confusion
With living today
Paint an illusion
In my disarray
Falling on dark times
Oh, when will it end?
Too much confusion
Again and again

World on fire, scream and shout
In a cage, I can't get out
On my knees, no mercy can be found
Found
Memories go up in flames
Shovel dirt upon my name
See my future circle in the drain
The drain

Gone are the yesterdays
Tomorrow's getting cold
And you can't turn back now
Trapped in the words you say
True stories never told
There's no escape from now

(Oh, yeah)
Storm is raging in my head
Everybody wants me dead
Are you my enemy? Arе you my friend?
My friend
Destruction nеver leads to change
Waiting for the end in vain
Hear them laughing as they go insane
Insane

Gone are the yesterdays
Tomorrow's getting cold
And you can't turn back now
Trapped in the words you say
True stories never told
There's no escape from now

(Somebody stop me)
I'm coming to find you
I'm crawling out of my grave
And everywhere you run and hide, you're gonna see my face
I'm coming to get you
I'm gonna ruin your day
And every time you pray to God, you're gonna hear my name
Oh, yeah

Your tears will turn to blood
The battle's won but the war ain't over
You're drowning in the mud
Reach for the sun
But I'll pull you under, yeah, yeah
Pull you under, yeah, yeah

Still in confusion
With no end in sight
Inside the illusion
Nothing feels right
Living in dark times
This message I send
Too much confusion
Will it ever end?

05. One Of Those Days

Disarray and burning nations
Dancing in the smoke
Getting high on suffocation
Better not to know (yeah)

Hey, hey, have I lost my mind?
Killing myself but I never die
It's one of those days that I don't believe in Jesus
No, no
Hey, hey, have I lost control?
Drinking my sins, never drown my soul
One of those days that I don't believe in Jesus
No, no, no

Lay me down on broken bottles
Let me see my blood
Love you now but not tomorrow
Be afraid of what's to follow

Hey, hey, have I lost my mind?
Killing myself but I never die
It's one of those days that I don't bеlieve in Jesus
No, no

Hey, hey, have I lost control?
Drinking my sins, never drown my soul
One of those days that I don't believe in Jesus
No
Hey, hey, have I lost my mind?
Killing myself but I never die
It's one of those days that I don't believe in Jesus
No, no

Hey, hey, have I lost control?
Drinking my sins never drown my soul
It's one of those days that I don't believe in Jesus
No, no, no

Don't believe in Jesus
No, no, no
Don't believe in Jesus
No

06. A Thousand Shades

Sitting in yesterday
Watching it slip away today
Isolation
Fading like photographs
Reminding us nothing ever lasts
Desolation

I look up to the sky
But the sun never shines
I'm waiting

There's a thousand different shades of darkness
Colouring our faith
The past is dead, the future's haunted
What happened to today? Today

Promises built to crash
Walking on dreams of broken glass
Hell's creation
Try to find my escape
Somewhere where I can hide away
Desperation

I look up to the sky
But the sun never shines
I'm waiting, yeah

There's a thousand different shades of darkness
Colouring our faith
The past is dead, the future's haunted
What happened to today? Today

There's a thousand different shades of darkness
Colouring our faith
The past is dead, the future's haunted
What happened to today? Today
There's a thousand different shades of darkness
Colouring our faith
The past is dead, the future's haunted
What happened to today? Today

07. Mr. Darkness

Oh
Yeah

Dear mister darkness, I write you again
I've been so lonely, I'm needing a friend
Everyone tells me you never reply
But I still try
My walls are covered with pictures of you
I fantasise that you are here in my room
Most days I wake up just wanting to die
But I still try

I give you my heart but you don't do the same
You tear me apart with a smile on your face, your face
You don't even know my, you don't even know my name
(My name)

Dear mister darkness, I write you again
This time to tell you, today is the end
I even shed a little blood on the page
Now it's too late
Gave me my twisted dreams and purpose in life
Maybe I'll meet you somewhere up in the sky
I never thought that love could bring so much pain
I can't escape

I give you my heart but you don't do the same
You tear me apart with a smile on your face, your face
You don't even know my, you don't even know my name
Oh yeah
You don't even know my, you don't even know my name

Oh yeah
Come on now

And when you close your eyes at night, we'll be together
I'll be your shadow, yeah, you'll never get away, yeah

I give you my heart but you don't do the same
You tear me apart with a smile on your face, your face
You don't even know my, you don't even know my name
Oh yeah
You don't even know my, you don't even know my name
My name, my name, oh yeah

You don't even know my name, you asshole

08. Nothing Feels Right

Count the seconds, catch my breath
Feelings come and go again
Count my blessings, hope they hear me too, too
Trapped inside this spider web
Scared of life and scared of death
Trapped inside these walls I built of doom, doom

Won't you let me, won’t you let me through? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Don't regret me even when I do

I've been calling out for someone
Mouth around the gun
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
All the pain gets trapped in my lungs
Drowning in my blood
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right

Is it a lost fight?
Or is it a long drive home?
Long drive home

Lost what I’ve been dreaming of
One eye open, one eye shut
Lost the only ones I'll ever love, yeah
My reflection beats me up
Smiling as I take that punch
My reflection is my favourite drug, yeah, yeah, yeah

Won't you let me, won't you let me through? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Don't regret me even when I do

I've been calling out for someone
Mouth around the gun
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
All the pain gets trapped in my lungs
Drowning in my blood
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right

Is it a lost fight
Out on the front line?
Will I watch the sunrise
As I take the long drive home long drive home?

Long drive home
Long drive home
Long drive home

I've been calling out for someone
Mouth around the gun
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
All the pain gets trapped in my lungs
Drowning in my blood
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels right

Is it a lost fight
Out on the front line?
Will I watch the sunrise
As I take the long drive home?

09. Evil Shuffle

I'm looking for pleasure
My pleasure is pain
I know that the night is calling for the evil shuffle again
It starts with a feeling
I'm losing control
There's blood on the ceiling, baby, and the voices call from below, yeah

Madman living inside me
He won't let me go
Madman, who's smiling so frightening
Turn my night to a beautiful nightmare, yeah

I crawl in the shadows
I prey on the weak
When I do the evil shuffle, yeah, you won't be moving you feet
I'll never escape it
Death brings me to life
You'll cry for mercy, baby, but the laughter is getting you high (Ha ha ha ha)

Madman living inside me
He won't let me go
Mad mad, who's smiling so frightening
Turn my night to a beautiful nightmare, yeah

Madman who lives inside me
Driving me crazy all night long
Doing the evil shuffle
Is really where I do belong
Is where I do belong

Madman living inside me
He won't let me go
Madman who's smiling so frightening
Turn my night to a beautiful nightmare, yeah

10. Degradation Rules

Twisted little fantasy
Gambling with tragedy and doom, and doom
Addicted to debauchery
Staring at the ceiling in his room, in his room

Asphyxiation
Masturbation
Degradation rules

Pulling on his memories
He's ready for the pearl to hit the sky, the sky
Used up all his energy
He wakes up with a twinkle in his eye, in his eye

Asphyxiation
Masturbation
Degradation rules

Degradation rules
Join the other fools

Sticky little magazines
He locks the door and crawls into his mind, in his mind
Stuck inside a dirty dream
The hand that feeds you also turns you blind, turns you blind

Asphyxiation
Masturbation
Degradation rules

Degradation rules
Beating on your jewels

Asphyxiation
Masturbation
Degradation rules

Degradation rules
Masturbating fools
Watching RedTube rules
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha)

11. Dead And Gone

A circus of madmen
Running the show
Where are we heading?
Nobody knows
Too much confusion
With no end in sight
A prison of promise
Polluting our minds
Oh no

My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone

The future is bankrupt
With no change to spare
The city's on fire
A family affair
You call it destruction
But you hold the knife
The pеople's induction
The people's demise
Oh no

My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone, so gone

Hungry as vultures
Craving the thrown
Posing for pictures
Then eating your own
Raising our voices
Feed the machine
They're coming to save us
But watching us bleed
Oh no

My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone

Dead and gone forever, baby
Dead and gone forever
Dead and gone
Dead and gone forever, baby
Dead and gone forever
Dead and gone, so gone

12. God Only Knows

Facedown on the pavement
Like a wounded animal
Don't know if I'll make it
But I'm giving up control
The sky is laughing at me
Shivers through my bones
Does it have to end so badly?
Am I out here on my own?

God only knows what's going on
My life has become the saddest song
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away
God's looking down on what we've done
Watching the children play with guns
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away

Someone show me mercy
'Cause I got nowhere to go
The good times always hurt me
Is it safеr down below?
Wonder what comes after
Will we do it all again?
Things that used to matter
They don't matter in the end

God only knows what's going on
My life has become the saddest song
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away
God's looking down on what we've done
Watching the children play with guns
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away

God only knows what's going on
My life has become the saddest song
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away
God's looking down on what we've done
Watching the children play with guns
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away

Fade away, fade away
God only knows what's going on
Fade away, fade away
God only knows what's going on
Fade away, fade away
God only knows what's going on
Fade away, fade away
God only knows what's going on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God only knows
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God only knows

13. Darkside Blues

Alright

I left my heart
In the dark side of the sea
I left my soul
Outside the gate with her heels
She was my girl
She was cute and she was pretty
And then I sold
Her diamond ring as well
Alright

Ha ha ha, that's jazz
