Choking on air, something's making me breathe
All these memories I had, they are taking them from me There's something inside of me (Miracle) This is my time, I can't (Miracle) This is the right time (The miracle) Burning like there's something within Something's crawling underneath my skin, I fear Something's dying, rotting deep within Something's crawling underneath my skin, I fear Something's dying, I will not give in Locked in my head while my sins are on display Every time that I atone, they come back attacking me There's something inside of me (Miracle) This is my time, I can't (Miracle) This is the right time (The miracle) Burning like there's something within Something's crawling underneath my skin, I fear Something's dying, rotting deep within Something's crawling underneath my skin, I fear Something's dying, I will not give in (I will not give in) (I will not give in) (I will not give in) (I will not give in) We search to find a place inside our head Defy the urge to die, to live again It's time to kill this thing that thrives inside Something's crawling underneath my skin, I fear Something's dying, rotting deep within Something's crawling underneath my skin, I fear Something's dying, I will not give in 02. Final Days
Hate runs through me like a vein
It's coming for me as I watch them march down this false line I'm grabbing all the anger I can find Alarming in this present phase Destroying all these places in my mind We're living in our final days We're bombing all the places left to hide Safe, some place so far away Without the burning cities of the men who commit their crimes Unruly living in the end of time, time, time Alarming in this present phase Destroying all these places in my mind We're living in our final days We're bombing all the places left to hide Alarming in this present phase Destroying all these places in my mind We're living in our final days We're bombing all the places left to hide 03. Everyone
I walk into this place 'cause I need help
See they don't want me 'cause I'm not like them They don't like me 'cause I frighten them They don't want me 'cause I'm not like them Live the lies of the priest of the Son And the God that has gone and left us idle Perfect crimes of the church of the lamb That was left at the stake for its survival As the wind of the wings of the man At his heart that has come to educate you You're so blind full of faith from the Son That you choose to engulf and engage everyone I fall quick from grace, if I don't pay them They won't let me in if I disobey them They don't like me 'cause I frighten them They don't want me 'cause I'm not like them Live the lies of the priest of the Son And the God that has gone and left us idle Perfect crimes of the church of the lamb That was left at the stake for its survival As the wind of the wings of the man At his heart that has come to educate you You're so blind full of faith from the Son That you choose to engulf and engage everyone Look at them, they really need me One more soul assimilated Silent judgment feeds them now One more soul is never-ending Thus control your free thinking Questions are never allowed What makes you so pure? Flaunting this false cure I will never bow down Bow down! Live the lies of the priest of the Son And the God that has gone and left us idle Perfect crimes of the church of the lamb That was left at the stake for its survival Its survival Its survival Everyone, everyone Its survival Everyone, everyone 04. Happiness
So you think you can walk away now?
Nothing's happening, everything's fine It's the same old situation Each time you get the last word I turn away blind You were never there for me at all You always gotta tear me down You, you take the best of me, it's gone My happiness is never allowed So you really wanna do this shit now? You wanna take another shot at my pride? One of these days you'll work for ricochet I've been tearing off your high You were never there for me at all You always gotta tear me down You, you take the best of me, it's gone My happiness is never allowed (Not allowed...) My happiness is never allowed! My happiness is never allowed! My happiness is never allowed! You were never there for me at all You always gotta tear me down You, you take the best of me, it's gone My happiness is never allowed My happiness is never allowed 05. Your God
They make you feel like you're alive again
They mask the truth and gather Running won't change it from within Which leaves the question... What's in it for you? (Nothing but lies and blame) What's in it for you? (That nothing could want them again) Now I don't wanna be Your God has abandoned me I wholeheartedly try Your God is killing me They cut your hair and make you fear Anything that ever mattered If they could they'd tie you to the stake again Burning, I hear their laughter What's in it for you? (Nothing but lies and blame) What's in it for you? (That nothing could want them again) Now I don't wanna be Your God has abandoned me I wholeheartedly try Your God is killing me So every time I look around I see I see their crosses Haunting my every movement I can't do this Foolish savior, fuck their bullshit Now I don't wanna be Your God has abandoned me I wholeheartedly try Your God is killing me 06. Walk On By
All the things that I do
All the hell I've been through It somehow doesn't matter I see the light in the booth Wishing I came right through Right through, right through Right through I'm walking on the dark side, I can't get away I'm flirting with disaster, it's the price I pay Feelings of hopelessness engulf me every day Yet I walk on by, walk on by All I do to get through All this pain is subdued It always comes back smarter I see the dark in it too Freaking out, I can't move Can't move, can't move Can't move I'm walking on the dark side, I can't get away I'm flirting with disaster, it's the price I pay Feelings of hopelessness engulf me every day Yet I walk on by, walk on by Yet I walk on by, walk on by Yet I walk on by, walk on by And they're searching for me Trying to steal and dissect my time Always they're banging and constantly screaming inside And they're ripping at me And they're taking my happiness, making it worthless And they're leaving me here to die I feel them laughing at me I feel them stabbing at me I feel the pressure inside Building till I try to break free I can't believe what I've done I should have never begun I feel the pressure inside Telling me that I cross your mind I feel them laughing at me I feel them stabbing at me I feel them laughing at me I feel them stabbing at me I'm walking on the dark side, I can't get away I'm flirting with disaster, it's the price I pay Feelings of hopelessness engulf me every day Yet I walk on by, walk on by Yet I walk on by, walk on by Yet I walk on by, walk on by 07. The Secret
I watch breathing, I can't believe you sleep so calm
With all the dirty things that you've done to me My eyes are a curse, you see 'Cause they see an angel and not the demon child you've been Fucking with my head, once again it seems Still I'm willing to believe The crying out at night It's not about what's wrong The secret just slipped outside to hide As this life moves on, I can't hold on And I feel like I can't ever get over it And your eyes they flicker, you must be dreaming evil dreams Are you eating someone's heart, is it what it seems You smile wouldn't make them scream But I know your sadness, there has to be a better way Someone get me some kind of priest to pray Some kind of words to say The crying out at night It's not about what's wrong The secret just slipped outside to hide As this life moves on, I can't hold on And I feel like I can't ever get over it You will kick at the base I will take it You make a promise You always break it I've lived in this shadow shame For too long So why am I doing Why do I choose to stay These things just don't get better somehow The crying out at night It's not about what's wrong The secret just slipped outside to hide As this life moves on, I can't hold on And I feel like I can't ever get over it And I feel like I can't ever get over it And I feel like I can't ever get over it 08. Basic Needs
I may not act like I'm torn apart
But blood don't look deep red when the dark Surrounds me I may be frozen numb from the fight The pain belongs to me But your lie surrounds me Surrounds me, surrounds me I don't feel hunger, I don't need air There's blood in my veins 'cause I know you are there I don't need shelter, nothing at all The reason I'm here Don't you know that you're all my basic needs I may be crippled by my own mind Your silence haunts my head And they always find me I may be used to feeling this way Almost forgot remembering to remind me Remind me, remind me I don't feel hunger, I don't need air There's blood in my veins 'cause I know you are there I don't need shelter, nothing at all The reason I'm here Don't you know that you're all my basic needs I don't feel hunger, I don't need air There's blood in my veins 'cause I know you are there I don't need shelter, nothing at all The reason I'm here Don't you know that you're all my basic needs My basic needs My basic needs 09. Medicate
Your light shines so black
I can see my flaws plain as day I deal with things inside That would make anyone else scream with pain Come on, run away with me For now, 'cause it don't last Come on, run away with me Let's run from our past Lies come to pass Veils of black surround me Nothing ever lasts I medicate everyday, to make it go away I try too hard Try to make my life count in some way I medicate everyday I medicate it away (I medicate it away) I'm staring at a face that I Can't even recognize Been burning so long in hell That it took that long to realize Lies come to pass Veils of black surround me Nothing ever lasts I medicate everyday, to make it go away I try too hard Try to make my life count in some way I medicate everyday I medicate it away I like this little pill that numbs the pain I like this little pill that runs through my veins I like this little pill that numbs the pain I like this little pill running through my veins I like this little pill that numbs the pain Oh, this little pill that runs through my veins Oh, this little pill, this little pill, this little pill That numbs the pain Lies come to pass Veils of black surround me Nothing ever lasts I medicate everyday, to make it go away I try too hard Try to make my life count in some way I medicate everyday I medicate it away I medicate it away I medicate it away I medicate it away I medicate it away 10. Please Tell Me
You're everything I wanted, this tragedy is mine
I hold on and I fight it but always, stupidity is blind I fight for a reason, maybe that's the blame But I also know one thing, we will never be the same So please tell me what the fuck is going on You keep me hanging on, I just wanna know that I'm not wrong So please tell me what the fuck is going on This shit keeps dragging on, I just wanna be where I belong You're everything I hated, it always ends the same Hurt's premeditated, it's constant straight to your vain I search for a reason, I know I hate the pain I gotta know this one thing, is it me, that's insane So please tell me what the fuck is going on You keep me hanging on, I just wanna know that I'm not wrong So please tell me what the fuck is going on This shit keeps dragging on, I just wanna be where I belong So please tell me what the fuck is going on (What the fuck is going on) You keep me hanging on (It's dragging on) I just wanna know that I'm not wrong (I wanna be where I belong) So please tell me what the fuck is going on (What the fuck is going on) This shit keeps dragging on (It's dragging on) I just wanna be where I belong 11. What You Believe
What you believe is the religion
And your entire devotion is dedicated to believing fact And there is no room for God in it And there is no room for God in it And there is no room for God in it And there is no room for God in it They're lying, this is the greatest story ever told They're trying, to keep us away from the secrets they hold This is disgusting, they keep the human race in check and they do what they're told We are realizing, there are some questions that can't be answered or be told What you believe is your religion What you receive is what you're given I don't need anyone from above telling me what to do I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do This is disgusting, they keep the human race in check and they do what they're told We are realizing, there are some questions that can't be answered or be told What you believe is your religion What you receive is what you're given I don't need anyone from above telling me what to do I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do What is it that you can find Building happiness inside Putting all your trust in something That you're seeing eye to eye What is it that you can find Building happiness inside Putting all your trust in something That you're seeing eye to eye What you believe is your religion What you receive is what you're given I don't need anyone from above telling me what to do I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do What you believe is your religion What you receive is what you're given I don't need anyone from above telling me what to do I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do 12. Gender
I came in your window last night like a ghost (I want you)
And this invasion was never supposed (To hurt you) Just need to breathe you, observe you, dissect you Protect you from yourself, you understand I know what you know but still I demand (To be you) Can I wear your skin? Can I have it now? Such a perfect soul and I wanna take it from you Take it from you, take it from you, take it from you Turn my gender down Well do your makeup, I'm touching your clothes (I won't break them) Look at your little shoes locked in a row (Can I take it?) Just wanna feel 'em and smell 'em Caress 'em, and press 'em to my flesh, you understand And isn't stealing if I come to confess (Wish I was you) Can I wear your skin? Can I have it now? Such a perfect soul and I wanna take it from you Take it from you, take it from you, take it from you Turn my gender down I'm sick of this situation I've outgrown what I'm made of I need a new motivation Let's ride 'em on, I'll get off Just need to breathe you, observe you, dissect you Protect you from yourself, you understand Just wanna peel 'em and smell 'em Caress 'em, and press 'em to my flesh, and nothing less I know my gender but still I demand (To be you) Can I wear your skin? Can I have it now? Such a perfect soul and I wanna take it from you Take it from you, take it from you, take it from you Turn my gender down 13. What It Is
Pretty soon you have to deal
With the truth behind the way you feel And I'd rather never know I would do anything anything Not to bring who I am to meet me This useless suffering Ugly part of me is screwing me As it feeds me But it is what it is You don't know how to live with what it is But it is what it is It may seem impossible But I will embrace who I really am If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid Then that's what it is Pretty soon you'll have to face You're a virus called the human race And I'll never never know I have done everything everything Not to feel what it is I'm feeling This basement devil is kicking the ass Of my angel on the ceiling But it is what it is You don't know how to live with what it is But it is what it is It may seem impossible But I will embrace who I really am If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid Then that's what it is Don't push me, don't kill me What it is cause it is what it is Don't play games, don't mess with What it is cause it is what it is Don't ask me, don't tell me What it is cause it is what it is Don't push me, don't kill me What it is cause it is what it is Don't run from where you come from Cause it is what it is And I And I But it is what it is You don't know how to live with what it is But it is what it is It may seem impossible But I will embrace who I really am If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid Then that's what it is |
