Show me the way Sweet Mary Jane Don't let it go To default To default To default It's a prison of voices Oblivion of all ideas Virtual Anarchy Anarchy Anarchy You trying to kill me? You trying to kill me? Suicidal hornets They will cover all of your light I'm the fire on your family crest I'm important to your quest I don't know Hell no My little girl If I where you I'd open a door Different ways for us to roll Learn your lines Be ready And we'll define the martir Into the night We will all be reborn Are you ready my love Forget it Do it Do it fast Into the night

Suffocate on a baby’s breath Light a candle on your own death Fight the power to lose your head Either way the lies are fed Hard enough to think you re not alone No words to say whats done is done Hard enough to be out there on your own A path lies ahead, a dying tree to waste your breath Damage done how can it mend When war remains a children’s play Noone unites, everyone hates Justifying the rise of the apes Hard enough to think you re not alone No words to say whats done is done Hard enough to be out there on your own A path lies ahead, the great unknown Suffocate, Permanate, Hold that breath Justifying death Hard enough to think you re not alone No words to say whats done is done Hard enough to be out there on your own A path lies ahead, the great unknown

Try higher, try hard Spin yourself like spinning top Stay hungry, walking tall Until you absorb and understand Try harder, take your time Bulletproof and fireproof Always a wall, always a line To climb above and seek the truth It’s calling me to testify It’s calling me to amplify It’s calling me to testify It’s calling me to amplify Always a waterfall Tries to drown you down Always a waterfall Wears you a wave for crown Breathe in Breathe out Swim until you find your shore Life’s fatal, life’s raw You can’t play and stay safe Life’s pain, broken bones There’s no life beneath your prays Try harder, hurry up My feet brought me to this town There is dust on every roof Let the rain come down It’s calling me to testify It’s calling me to amplify It’s calling me to testify It’s calling me to amplify Always a waterfall Tries to drown you down Always a waterfall Wears you a wave for crown Breathe in Breathe out Swim until you find your shore

Empty glass stained with your lipstick The TV is puking some random chick flick Miles is playing a song about Spain I’m in the mood for a small dose of pain Tiny light, like a butterfly Ashes on the sheets Who will sing me a lullaby When I’m down and I’m weak (when I hate that I’m weak) Would you show me the reasons? Would you like to try? I will summon my demons we will join them and fly Now it’s time for Billie to sing the blues About a Blue Moon, a sentimental bruise And she goes on about some hanging strange fruit The fire water still burns as I shoot And now the whiskey keeps twisting my blood The carpet’s wet as you crawl through the mud We’re slow dancing again through the rain I could use just a little more pain Save me now, give those reasons and show me how How to escape from myself

They were looking out for us They’re looking after us But we’ll never find a way out there's no need for that They were looking out for us They’re looking after us But we’ll never find a way out Better ride the wave Seeing the head light, the fear taking over Figure a way out before it is over Seeing the head light and the fear’s taking over Gotta figure a way out before it is over If you think you’ll run then it’s over If you think you'll stray then it's over Thinking, overthinking won't save you this time I'm falling over and over again How can they say they want me to give up? I’m falling over and over again How can they sleep well telling all these lies? Better at stake then giving over I said better at stake than giving over You better run than going back My heartbeat is pounding I'd rather walk for miles My heartbeat is trembling Just keep me off their sight Just keep me off their sight Just keep me off their sight Just keep me off their sight

I should have known before the ashes stopped my breath I'm almost done, don't wanna put pressure on your way You'll stand You'll fake Till the end of time and I'll be there I should have known before the ashes stopped my breath Standing still Frozen by fear Can't help you out I'm paralyzed x2 You'll see in time if it mattered x2 I can't breathe A useless observer I am I could have saved you But still, fear was my shelter I should have known before the ashes stopped my breath I'm almost done, don't wanna put pressure on your way Standing there Immobile If I don't move they'll kill her I should have known before the ashes stopped my breath Standing still Frozen by fear Can't help you out I'm paralyzed x2 You'll see in time if it mattered x2 I can't breathe A useless observer I am I could have saved you But still fear was my shelter

And the mobsters And the kingpins And the black ties And the tall hats And the suckers And the tricksters the abusers Serial loosers And the bankers All these wankers It’s the open veins The open veins of our people The open veins The open veins of our land All the fires, condemn those liars Burning the city, we’re fifty one-fifty Home grown Nero, absolute zero Imperial sound or just the usual We’re dead inside But we’re left here alive Those who hold the keys to our prison are those who commit the crimes

A wonder life i can’t deny, the life you tried to give me i tried it on and left behind the blinding lights that kicked me in a wonder world. And you, a girl so undecided a millions doors in front of you Waiting the sun, aint it? are you waiting too? Waiting the sun honey, in a dead-end tomb Out on the road to somewhere While all my world around ya is turning, just craving I’m all alone not ill disposed thinking, how will i run away ya ya ya from you Bad Reverie Sad Memory Have turned into one dead letter Last Reverie flat memory just wanna feel so much better I abide, but I can’t see it over Empty now, the world around Haunting lights, in the room Trying to hide away the night Improvise/[All but wise(???)] one more time Waiting the sun, aint it? are you waiting too? Waiting the sun honey, in a dead-end tomb Out on the road to somewhere While all these thoughts i left em wondering, just growing I’ve hidden some, most left behind sinking! How will i run away ya ya ya from you Bad Reverie Sad Memory Have turned into one dead letter Last Reverie flat memory just wanna feel so much better I abide, but I can’t see it over
