I know, I know
What you wish for
It makes you suffer
Always wanting more
Be careful, careful
That you wish for…
‘Cause all that wishing
Will make you hollow
It won’t be long
Before all is gone
What was once in place
Has been wished away
You know, you know
What you wish for
How it makes you suffer
Always wanting more and more
Be careful, careful
That you wish for…
‘Cause all that wishing
Has made you hollow
It won’t be long
Before we are gone
What was once in place
Has been wished away
Has anyone told you so?
Has anyone told you so?
Has anyone told you so?
Has anyone told you so?
Has anyone told you so?
Has anyone told you so?
It won’t be long
Before all is gone
What was once in place
Has been wished away
I know, I know
What you wish for
It makes you suffer
It makes you hollow

Never Again
03:38
|

|
Broken, then severed clean
That’s what, you did to me
Your inner voice
An echo of
A cult that shames
For even love
Is turned to sin
In god’s name
Never, never again
Never, never again
High ground, is it cold up there?
Alone, though down you stare
The names you give
Desecrate
Beg for pain
Deny yourself
Deny my heart
It’s all the same
Never, never again
Never, never again
Recast the past
What was once
A good is bad
They will take
And they will drain
So only wrongs
Devised remain
Never, never again
Never, never again

Your Life
04:04
|
|||
|
Held captive by
A frightened mind
Who did you wrong?
Was there anyone?
The tales you tell
To convince, forsake yourself
‘Cause we’re all gonna to die
And that ain’t no surprise
So why do you live your life as you do?
You built your walls so tall
That anyone who tries to help
Will most surely fall
What will it take?
How long will you turn away?
You hold the key
Only you can set you free
‘Cause we’re all gonna to die
And that ain’t no surprise
So why do you live your life as you do?
You built your walls so tall
That anyone who tries to help
Will most surely fall
You hide inside your room
And hide behind your screens
Your fiction is your truth
You hide inside your room
And hide behind your screens
Your prison is your tomb
‘Cause we’re all gonna to die
And that ain’t no surprise
So why do you live your life as you do?
You built your walls so tall
That anyone who tries to help
Will most surely fall

This Year
02:58
|

It was all by design
Nothing was random, right?
The pattern is plain
A method unchanged
It’s a system of pain
So how many times
Are you gonna stray this year?
And how many lies
Are you gonna tell this year?
How many tears
Are you gonna fake this year?
And how many lives
Are you gonna wreck this year?
A quality of machines
Emotionless functioning
Your pattern is plain
It’s a structure unchanged
You’re a system of pain
So how many times
Are you gonna stray this year?
And how many lies
Are you gonna tell this year?
How many tears
Are you gonna fake this year?
And how many lives
Are you gonna wreck this year?

Heartbreak
02:43

She’s got a nasty reputation
For making a scene
Hyperbolic feeler
Who’s gonna cry about everything
Well, he’s such a bore
He’s only out to score, oh
That and nothing more
Why can’t she be adored, oh?
The boys keep on breaking her heart
The boys keep on breaking her heart
Oh no
Watch her light up all her candles
Next to crystals and stones
She could be his shadow
If she gets him alone
So she’s pulling out the stops now
‘Does the garter make the fit?’
A choker and some knee highs
Just slightly unhinged
Well, he’s such a bore
He’s only out to score, oh
That and nothing more
Why can’t she be adored, oh?
The boys keep on breaking her heart
The boys keep on breaking her heart
The boys keep on breaking her heart
The boys keep on breaking her heart

Whisper
03:19
|

|
A sinking, descending
Drowning, in seven seas
Of failings, hauntings
Doubting, I want to scream
What’s certain, too often
Are things that take away
So tell me that your love
Is something that’s here to stay
So will you
Whisper
Whisper, whisper
In my ear?
You love me
You love us
You love life
I want to hear
The mindless, the heartless
The soulless take more and more
But your kind reminds me
There’s still good in this world
So will you
Whisper
Whisper, whisper
In my ear?
You love me
You love us
You love life
I want to hear
You whisper
Whisper
Whisper
In my ear
You love me
You love us
You love life
I need to hear
Now I’m not sinking anymore
Now I’m not frightened anymore
So will you
Whisper
Whisper, whisper
In my ear?
You love me
You love us
You love life
I want to hear
You whisper
Whisper
Whisper
In my ear
You love me
You love us
You love life
I need to hear

Rain
03:28

Trust in your sense
Attend to the signs
They foretell a change
A shift inside
Panoramic grays
Lay claim to the now
Find yourself again
Under a cloud
How about the weather
Is gonna rain?
You and me together
We’ll get washed away
The storm overhead
Forms in your mind
As they watch the tears
Pool in your eyes
Rescind and sink within
That’s how it goes
Or take me with you my love
You’re not alone
How about the weather
Is gonna rain?
You and me together
We’ll get washed away
So how about the weather
Is gonna rain?
You and me together
We’ll get washed away

Cherry bombs setting off alarms
Water guns, fire crackers… run!
Classic rock, flipping off every cop
Speakers blast, our scene is here at last
Not so long ago
That was home
The skateboards, tearing up kitchen floors
Out we go, off to another show
Senior year, parents have disappeared
The next block, up for an acid drop?
And not so long ago
We were home
We didn’t care, what was wrong
Only us, it’s all we’d known
We didn’t care, what they want
It’s only us, so fuck them all
Back home
Remember?
Back home
Remember?

Hello
Is there anybody left at home?
Control
They will take it down to the bone
No one dares question
That is the problem
No one dares question
That is the program
They want somebody else
They want to erase me
They want somebody else
Not a man, but a machine
They want somebody else
They want to train me
They want somebody else
I’m a man, not a machine
Nothing
Nothing is the sum of me
Treatment
After treatment is complete
No one dares question
That is the problem
No one dares question
That is the program
They want somebody else
They want to erase me
They want somebody else
Not a man, but a machine
They want somebody else
They want to train me
They want somebody else
I’m a man, not a machine

Promise
03:50

Gone, gone is everyone
That I once loved
Their bodies burned or buried
Yet somewhere in between
Your hope and my fate
Is the promise of a peace
We’ll find our way
To a world not split in two
No night or day
Nor tortured by untruths
Love stands unchanged
Faith, faith is what
I’m starving for, to believe
To let myself be taken
Yet somewhere in between
Your hope and my fate
Is the promise of a peace
We’ll find our way
To a world not split in two
No night or day
Nor tortured by untruths
Love stands unchanged
We’ll find our way
Love stands unchanged
We’ll find our way
Promise
And somewhere in between
Your hope and my fate
Is the promise of a peace
We’ll find our way
To a world not split in two
No night or day
Nor tortured by untruths
Love stands unchanged
