I won't be nervous
When everybody around us Says "God, we don't deserve this" And begs before they accept our fate I want the world but I'm not Prepared to work for a change I think I'd rather be dead I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit You're gonna follow like a freelance sucker of the next biggest trend We're pissing into the wind, to be heard by the indifferent Shit talker, you've double crossed your own You're gonna suffer like a rat in the smoke How the hell am I supposed to know We're only human is a valid excuse For why my mind is polluted Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it? I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit So raise it up, up, up If you're sick of this fake smile politics Up, up if you're sick of this race we're running What you living for if you can't even feel it? What is living without letting go How the hell am I supposed to know We're only human is a valid excuse For why my mind's polluted Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it? Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night The mask you wear to cover it up and we can see it in your eyes Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night The mask you wear to cover it up and I can see it in your eyes I'm sick of the sound I'm sick of the hand we've been dealt Sick from the drugs that they tell me to take I'm sick of the drugs that we take to rebel Sick of corruption in wealth Sick of corruption itself Sick of division in colour, religion When we're all the same I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit Just leave it alone My head's about to explode So sick of the same sound syndrome Thank fuck for headphones 02. I've Seen It All
We won't give up
We'll wait just a little more We'll bite our tongues This pain that we can't ignore (Whoa-oh-oh) Tell me a reason to carry on (Whoa-oh-oh) When all I can see is the cracks in the wall Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh Maybe we're all insignificant Pulling in different directions To the edge of this prison Are we living in hell? Reluctant, never the culprit A stick in the mud We're so self-destructive We're never gonna wake, never gonna wake up Even if I say what's on my mind I fear I waste my time So please don't mind me If I take my time I've seen it all And I've felt nothing Don't want no more So show me your sins I've seen it all And I've found nothing When all I can see is The cracks in the wall No direction like the paths that I walk Through the fading light of all we've destroyed The siren sings that song we adore And we won't wake up If we can't break or scratch the surface Redefine the words we obey If we idolise our burdens We're never gonna wake, never gonna wake up Maybe we're all insignificant Pulling in different directions To the edge of this prison Are we living in hell? Our homes like galleries We decorate the walls with our sins Our lives so fragile But we live like we're invincible I've seen it all And I've felt nothing Don't want no more So show me your sins I've seen it all And I've felt nothing Don't want no more So show me your sins I've seen it all And I've found nothing When all I can see is The cracks in the wall (We know something's wrong) But we still carry on We won't give up We'll wait just a little more Tell me a reason Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh 03. Inspire
If this is the epitome of our species
I can't see the forest for the trees If we don't heal before we realise The scale of the problem within Tell me that you're okay not knowing Will you fall into the ether with me? If only we could feel complete without it Will you let it in? To the west, to the west Economy before acceptance A worth over intelligence We all can be accepted in hell If we're going nowhere You know that they don't care We are the symptoms of a careless empire Disorder, your web swings catching everything As far as I can see We are draped in the diminishing But nothing's as it seems To the west, to the west Economy before acceptance A worth over intelligence We all can be accepted in hell If we're going nowhere You know that they don't care We are the symptoms of a careless empire We've been grazed by the outbreak We've been nettled by the fakes Snakes and mistakes and time again we've shown You can't even wait till the dust has settled Run straight with your head down from the battle Are you safe jumping in a grave you can't dig yourself out of? Why'd you have to wait till the warning comes in avalanche form? Should've put your hands up but you thought you better point the blame Either way, it points back and you can't escape If this is the epitome of our species I can't see the forest for the trees If we don't heal before we realise The scale of the problem within And if I inspire you, you inspire me We're breaking the mould together You set me free I inspire you, you inspire me We're breaking the mould together You set me free To the west, to the west Economy before acceptance A worth over intelligence We all can be accepted in hell If we're going nowhere You know that they don't care We are the symptoms of a careless empire 04. So What
I'll be waiting for the moment
When you're out of your comfort zone Are you afraid of realising we're out of control? Did you know you'll never know? Did you know that you'll never know? So what if I die young, so what if I live forever? If all we love will leave us in the end, let's die together It's a false sense of security that will outlive us all Another step in the wrong direction and we'll cut to the core I wouldn't have to stab you in the back If you'd just turn and face me (Will you just turn and face me?) I'll be waiting for the moment When you're out of your comfort zone Are you afraid of realising we're out of control? Did you know you'll never know? Did you know that you'll never know? It's a false sense of authority that will tear us apart Another step in the wrong direction and we'll cut to the core If we don't let go Of our saviours If we don't let go Of our saviours Because the truth owes us nothing The guilt we feel is showing Look away, don't look away, don't look away I wouldn't have to stab you in the back If you'd just turn and face me (Will you just turn and face me?) We're all bastards to our demons and sinners to our angels But neither know who we are Would you really want the truth if you had the chance? Don't answer, it's too soon We've been through worse but we'll play dead While you keep us in the dark (You only wrote this for the money, didn't you?) They keep us in the dark I'll be waiting for the moment When you're out of your comfort zone Are you afraid of realising we're out of control? Did you know you'll never know? Did you know that you'll never know? I'll be waiting for the moment When you're out of your comfort zone Are you afraid of realising we're out of control? Did you know you'll never know? Did you know that you'll never know? (I'll be waiting) Did you know, did you know, did you know you'll never know? (I'll be waiting) Did you know, did you know, did you know you'll never know? (I'll be waiting) Did you know, did you know, did you know you'll never know? (I'll be waiting) Did you know, did you know, did you know you'll never know? So what if I die young, so what if I live forever? If all we love will leave us in the end, let's die together 05. The Guilty Party
I don't need to feel like I can't do this all on my own
Welcome to the guilty party This'll be the last time that you see us playing dead (yeah) We're all so malignant, bitter and twisted It's just another blame-game while you cry for help (yeah) Good grief let go Defeatist You let your demons hold you Unforsaken Like getting blood from a stone You try to shake them But they won't let you go And we don't have the time to stop and look At all we destroyed With an idle mind in a real life It's every man for himself if we're gonna survive And when the lights go out this time This time there's gonna be a riot, woah One nail, outs the other One nail, outs the other One nail, outs the other We shed our skin as we try to recover And your eyes shine the sun And your skin blows the wind And your eyes shine the sun And your skin blows the wind And your eyes I don't need to feel like I can't do this all on my own Eyes I don't need to feel like I can't do this all on my own With an idle mind in a real life It's every man for himself if we're gonna survive And when the lights go out this time This time there's gonna be a riot, woah No heroine, no redeemer Life's anaesthetic is sleep Welcome to the guilty party Everything you've done Everything you've done You've undone with this Shut up Your eyes shine the sun Your skin blows the wind And your eyes shine the sun And your skin blows the wind And your eyes I don't need to feel like I can't do this all on my own Eyes I don't need to feel like I can't do this all on my own I don't need to feel like I can't do this all on my own 06. Haunt Me
We won't leave till you realise
These are the reasons why we won't survive on our own Nobody gets left behind (1, 2, 3, 4) Don't say you didn't see it coming Now the world's in disarray And all that I have said comes back to haunt me I didn't see the lights Even though they're blinding me right in the eyes Couldn't read the signs Telling me to swim against the current as they're pulling me under I'm intoxicated, led astray by the fake Unconscious to the right solution Our minds are barely moving We might deserve a second chance If I can prove we're alive Don't say you didn't see it coming Now the world's in disarray And all that I have said comes back to haunt me Don't say you couldn't see the warnings Or the wolves outside the gates And all that I have said comes back to haunt me We won't leave till you realise These are the reasons why we won't survive on our own Nobody gets left behind (Who told you it's) ours for the taking Every man for himself In favour of all who trade intelligence Order for the selfish who don't deserve a second chance If they're still picking a side It's the dose that makes it poisonous It tastes bitter but we're keeping our head above the surface We're still alive although we've been bitten It's like a sickness written into our anatomy This is the sound of no one listening to you running your mouth Are you thinking out loud or just can't see through the amount of shit You feel the need to surround yourself with You feel the need to surround yourself with Back up, I'm sick of telling you enough is enough It takes my breath away But I don't feel like I deserve the taste You're missing the point, can't understand my pain Some people never change It's like a fire without a flame Don't say you didn't see it coming Now the world's in disarray And all that I have said comes back to haunt me Don't say you didn't see it coming Now the world's in disarray And all that I have said comes back to haunt me Don't say you couldn't see the warnings Or the wolves outside the gates And all that I have said comes back to haunt me It takes my breath away But I don't feel like I deserve the taste You're missing the point, can't understand my pain Some people never change It's like a fire without a flame 07. Elephant
Everywhere I turn, there's a life on the line
A cure for a price and fuck it, there's an elephant in the room Turn the page, another headline that you already knew Paint the picture of a lie behind the truth We're on a flatline in a sorry state of affairs Losing the will to live like we're going nowhere They put the frighteners on us but we all hide something Enough is enough I keep asking myself why us? Enough is enough I keep killing myself because You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain While the angels sing "Everything will be okay" Cross my fingers, point the blame I don't believe a word they say "Everything will be okay" Cross my fingers, point the blame I don't believe a word they say I'd like to think that I don't believe in anything I'm just a heathen in disbelief And I know, when I'm desperate I still call, don't we all? Enough is enough We can't see what's in front of us Enough is enough Stop the world, I want to get off You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain While the angels sing "Everything will be okay" Cross my fingers, point the blame I don't believe a word they say "Everything will be okay" Cross my fingers, point the blame I don't believe a word they say Everywhere I turn There's a life on the line, a cure for a price and fuck it There's an elephant in the room Turn the page, another headline that you already knew Clean the slate with the water we pollute How many times do I have to disobey to be saved? We're already the cause but we call it a mistake, I believed it Even if it's just a figure of our imagination The ground we walk is sacred but the grave we make is closer to hell We all hide something We all hide something We all hide something 08. Set You Free
Tell me, does it set you free?
And if it does then you don't need to speak I can see it in your eyes, it's all you need And now that I feel alive without needing to justify the meaning Tell me, does it set you free? Tell me, does it set you free? Liberate me! We came from nothing but the truth, we won't fall For your excuses Each disguise gets more obvious We'll see right through it All I believe is the way we treat each other comes 'round Back around What if I told you we won't take no for an answer? Hope your system has a, has a plan to withstand us What if I told you we don't fit your demographic? We can see through the mask you hide beneath Where are you now That all your lies are crumbling? No time for secrets I've heard it all, believe me When I say the walls are paper thin We can hear everything And you don't need to speak at all It feels like it's all been said before You're no longer on your own I'll feel it all when I sleep tonight I've seen it all but I can't see the light Lead me astray this time I've seen it all What if I told you we won't take no for an answer? Hope your system has a, has a plan to withstand us What if I told you we don't fit your demographic? We can see through the mask you hide beneath Tell me, does it set you free? And if it does then you don't need to speak I can see it in your eyes, it's all you need And now that I feel alive without needing to justify the meaning No time for secrets I've heard it all, believe me When I say the walls are paper thin We can hear everything And you don't need to speak at all It feels like it's all been said before You're no longer on your own Tell me, does it set you free? When will we adopt The feeling that we belong to each other Or are we too far gone? Blind-sided, it's turning on us Six foot above contradiction Just look at what we've become 09. Good Grief
Separate the crowd, we stand alone together
Burning bridges for the better in this fire What I see in me, I see it in another I will treat you like a brother in this I've been here a thousand times before Your house is on fire and you're painting the walls If I've been here a thousand times then can I call it home? Had to break an entry, find acceptance Hold on to the only thing that I swear I won't forget There's no right thing you're supposed to be, no right story you're supposed to believe There's a language we all speak Separate the crowd, we stand alone together Burning bridges for the better in this fire What I see in me, I see it in another I will treat you like a brother in this I've been here a thousand times before Your house is on fire and you're painting the walls It's just another nightmare This vicious cycle got us feeling like it's too late Nightmare, "We're only human" doesn't resonate with me no more Separate the crowd, we stand alone together Burning bridges for the better in this fire What I see in me, I see it in another I will treat you like a brother in this Are we just stating the obvious, breaking our promises, like you said we always would? We've dug this ground before and it's nothing but a wasteland apocalypse And now we're just passengers We've come too far, we can't turn this around We used to live, now all we do is analyze False promises, empty threats, now we've got nothing left We want to redeem but we won't unhand the knife Can't you see starry eyes? You blink when you lie We used to live, now all we do is analyze False promises, empty threats, now we've got nothing left We want to redeem but we won't unhand the knife Can't you see starry eyes? You blink when you lie 10. Back Of My Mind
Don't wanna be awake
(Don't wanna sleep) Will you pacify me? Lights out, we'll see what lies beneath Nocturnal highs When you wanna lay down and play dead Concise uneasy eyes You choose when you see it and when you don't I wanna shed my skin I wanna see who I really am I wanna swim with all that drags me in Every time Don't wanna be awake (Don't wanna sleep) Will you pacify me? Lights out, we'll see what lies beneath Who are all these people in the back of my mind? (I wanna run away) They shout when I sleep and when I close my eyes They're all I can see Who are all these people in the back of my mind? (I wanna run away) Distance, if you don't keep it Wait till the light's out, then you'll see me These words don't rectify our plight Are you satisfied this time? If we're still in harm's way Do not resuscitate me I wanna shed my skin I wanna see who I really am I wanna swim with all that drags me in Every time I wanna escape, I can't take the great divide I've seen all I need to see If only we could take a leap of faith to beyond the surface We will see what lies beneath Who are all these people in the back of my mind? (I wanna run away) They shout when I sleep and when I close my eyes They're all I can see Who are all these people in the back of my mind? (I wanna run away) They shout when I sleep and when I close my eyes They're all I can see Who are all these people in the back of my mind? (I wanna run away) Distance, if you don't keep it Wait till the light's out, then you'll see me I'm the face in the river, reflection in the mirror that made you turn I'm the creature at the end of the bed I'm a projection of the thoughts in your head (Don't wanna be awake) I'm the million different effigies trapped under your skin that make you burn (Don't wanna be awake) I'll be the beat in your pulse when I'm beatin' you to a pulp, one day you'll learn (Don't wanna be awake) Urgh, I'm the voice of the people, the speaker of evil Cemetery of sound, but tonight this is my battleground Tonight this is my battleground Bang your fucking head 11. Gates Of Paradise
At the gates of paradise
Waiting for our names to call from above There's an angel inside of us If you turn a blind eye and trust that I'll be better this time around You can do anything you wanna fucking do The rules were made to be disputed by the truth Did no one tell you to let go of the reins? Did no one tell you they manipulate? Send out the press, tell 'em have it for nothing Feast like a savage would on its casualty (Inform the masses that) This is what you get when you don't break the habit We breed the selfish Abandon what good and bad really meant At the gates of paradise Waiting for our names to call from above There's an angel inside of us If you turn a blind eye and trust that I'll be better this time around You can do anything you wanna fucking do The rules were made to be disputed by the truth Did no one tell you to let go of the reins? Did no one tell you they manipulate? Safe to say we'll never know How it would've been if it was to go Are we better off on our own? At the gates of paradise Waiting for our names to call from above There's an angel inside of us If you turn a blind eye and trust that I'll be better this time around Can you feel it caressing around you every nerve? It's too late for resolve, we're not long for this world We're digging deeper like a parasite It's time to wake up while we're still alive You're only listening 'cos no one's got anything better to say We're still singing, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Hate to say we're biding our time Are you past the point of no return? Do your symptoms leave you satisfied? Keep your demons buried deep inside We've got everyone to follow But there's no one left to walk with The shallow path of honesty Residing in our promise And this will haunt us always Waking from the truth we lie in mourning Safe to say we'll never know How it would've been if it was to go the other way I like to say we're better off on our own Safe to say we'll never know How it would've been if it was to go the other way I like to say we're better off on our own Safe to say we'll never know How it would've been if it was to go the other way I like to say we're better off on our own Safe to say we'll never know How it would've been if it was to go the other way I like to say we're better off on our own |
