Coma Blue 03:23
Nobody, anybody, somebody Who are you? Nobody, anybody And no one to say it to I'm in a coma, I'm in the blue Don't even know what the fuck I'm gonna do Nothing concrete in my direction No simplicity in my perfection I'm in a coma, I'm in the blue Let me fly away Cos I don't wanna stay Here until my dying day Nobody, anybody, somebody Who are you? Who are you? So just become the most adaptable creature An evolution that belongs to the future The truth is so damn hard to take When you're a bird of prey Let me fly away Cos I don't wanna stay Here until my dying day Nobody, anybody, somebody Who are you? (Nobody, anybody, somebody) Who are you? (Nobody, anybody, somebody) Walking down the soulless street The weightless steps of burning feet Bracing as the days fly past But in reality they last Among the ruins of the past Among the ruins of the past At the greatest speed, at the dip Give me one reason to stop this trip As the ashes turn to dust Give me one reason to end this rush Let me fly away Cos I don't wanna stay Here until my dying day Nobody, anybody, somebody Who are you? (Nobody, anybody, somebody) Who are you? (Nobody, anybody, somebody)

Unaware 03:50
We're unaware We're unaware We're unaware Into an imperium with no right vision Nice clean streets, pretty houses and trees Every day's the same, everything is arranged We're part of the game, nothing has changed Sweet voices in your head selling you plastic life Re-runs of sitcoms in this paradise I am running, running, running We're all running, running, running We're so pure, so rare, slowly bleeding out Unaware Running, running, running We're all running, running, running We're so pure, so rare, slowly bleeding out Unaware We're unaware We're unaware We're unaware Until we're running out of air Into an imperium with many illusions Neon signs to a world of fairy tales Every day's the same, everyone's just fake We're part of the game, we're all on the take Sweet voices in your head selling you plastic life Re-runs of sitcoms in this paradise I am running, running, running We're all running, running, running We're so pure, so rare, slowly bleeding out Unaware Running, running, running We're all running, running, running We're so pure, so rare, slowly bleeding out Unaware Run, run, run Run, run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run, run Until we run out of air They're watching us They are telling us what to do We are unaware Until we run out of air I sit in silence now No voices to wrap me in sweet illusion No plastic promises, no A false reality within this Imperium Imperium I am running, running, running We're all running, running, running We're so pure, so rare, slowly bleeding out Unaware We're unaware We're unaware We're unaware Until we're running out of air We're unaware We're unaware Until we're running out of air

Good Stories 04:19
Your sweet insanity is whispering in my ears And you speak of honesty by lying to yourself So tell me do you know any more good stories Which role should I play? And I can be the least of all of your worries How often can you say: Believe me I'm so sorry But the truth is I'm not a part of your story My world is incomplete And you've been filling in the gaps with lies And we're all just characters You've written between the lines So tell me do you know any more good stories Which role should I play? And I can be the least of all of your worries How often can you say: Believe me I'm so sorry But the truth is I'm not a part of your fucking story My world is incomplete Where I've fallen at your feet My world is incomplete While you get back on your feet Hanging from this framework of good stories And making your own moral categories However the wreckage that you leave I've proven to myself that I am very naive I just didn't wanna know The large gift of your narrative skill More than anything I get to know I get to know That words can kill Hanging from this framework of good stories Of double meanings and parallel worlds Against a wall where souls are hurled My world is incomplete How often can you say: Believe me I'm so sorry But the truth is I'm not a part of your story My world is incomplete Where I've fallen at your feet My world is incomplete While you get back on your feet

In a rundown store at the edge of town They sold a gun called Columbine Called Columbine It's been a long long time since I held a gun It's been a long time since the West was won Since the West was won But I need protection From people like me It becomes an infection Becomes a disease It's been a long time since I held a gun To the head of a man in the name of love It's been a long time since a bullet flew From the laws that were passed By the powers that be It's the same old store where they proudly sold The gun that shot John Lennon down Shot Lennon down It's the same old news when the kids that go Off to school don't make it home Don't make it home But I need protection From people like me It becomes an infection Becomes a disease It's been a long time since I held a gun To the head of a man in the name of love It's been a long time since a bullet flew From the laws that were passed By the powers that be In the land of the free In the land of the free You could go fully automatic - give me all that cash You could go fully automatic - give me all that cash You could go fully automatic - give me all that cash Fully automatic As an American, this is my right As an American, this is my right This is my right It's been a long time since I held a gun It's been a long long time since the West was won It's been a long time since I held a gun To the head of a man in the name of love It's been a long time since a bullet flew From the laws that were passed By the powers that be

Sea of Trees 03:30
You can find me at the same tree In the forest of the dead The same day every year When the leaves grow red You can find me at the same tree In the forest of the dead The same day every year When the leaves grow red Don't leave me a letter You can say it to my face Don't tell me you're dying To make the world a better place Life - a sacred gift from your mother Life - what are you giving her back? There is no you and I in suicide Cos your pain won't die Your pain won't die with you (You're just passing it on) Your pain won't die with you (You're just passing it on) Your pain won't die with you Don't leave me a letter You can say it to my face Don't tell me you're dying To make the world a better place And she's there at the same tree In the forest of the dead The same day every year When the leaves grow red (When the leaves grow red) Life - a sacred gift from your mother Life - what are you giving her back? There is no you and I in suicide Cos your pain won't die Your pain won't die with you (You're just passing it on) Your pain won't die with you (You're just passing it on) Your pain won't die with you You're killing so much more You're killing so much more than you More than you You're killing so much more You're killing so much more than you With all the lovesick Drowning in the sea of trees There is no you and I in suicide Cos the pain won't die Won't die with you There is no you and I in suicide Cos your pain won't die Your pain won't die with you Your pain won't die with you Your pain won't die with you

Another lonely name etched in the stone On a wall, in a cell, with a prisoners bone As the night drags its fingers over our eyes So too do my fingers trace these outlines Lights out, lights out And the concrete slowly works its way Into a man's heart Real world rules - no missing evidence Real world rules - no prison break Real world rules - no tunnels to freedom Innocence was here Innocence was here Someone else's fail has cost you your life What happens now when the doors have slammed shut? Lights out, lights out Till we think only with barbed wire brain cells And dream only of some long ago life Lights out, lights out As the screamers begin their lament In voices long shredded with fear and regret And the natural born killers Rest peaceful in their violent sleep Real world rules - no missing evidence Real world rules - no prison break Real world rules - no tunnels to freedom Innocence was here Innocence was here And when somebody else's fingers have traced The initials I've carved, carved into the stone There was no prison break, there was no escape Someone else's mistake There was no prison break, there was no escape I was innocent all along Real world rules - no missing evidence Real world rules - no prison break Real world rules - no tunnels to freedom Innocence was here Innocence was here No missing evidence No prison break No tunnels to freedom Innocence was here Innocence was here

Humanophobia 03:41
It's a feeding frenzy Cos fear makes money And if you're dealing in fear You're gonna need some enemies So find me an enemy Find me an enemy You can not kill kings To flush out the jacks You, you can not kill kings To flush out the jacks And you would raze whole cities Even poison the sun For the few bad men Who never loved anyone We need more money So we're making fear But the fear needs a name And the fear needs a face Don't blame a whole race For the few sick fucks Who never learned shit And never loved anyone You can not kill kings To flush out the jacks You, you can not kill kings To flush out the jacks And you would raze whole cities Even poison the sun For the few bad men Who never loved anyone Most humans never kill anyone Never kill anyone Anyone, anyone Most humans never kill anyone Never kill anyone (Never kill anyone) And you would raze whole cities Even poison the sun For the few bad men Who never loved anyone And you would raze whole cities Even poison the sun For the few bad men Who never loved anyone

All life is lost, the time has come All the love has gone I'm all alone, the only one I am your last son Look at us, who we've been and what we've become Shadows in a universe without a sun Is there anyone, anyone, is there anyone left with me Is there anyone out there tell me if you hear me I am lonely, broken, I am so alone out here Tell me where I need to go, tell me where you are right now What is life without an aim Everyday the same Forgot to care, we hunted fame A never ending game Everything we had is worthless now Everything we need to survive somehow Is there anyone, anyone, is there anyone left with me Is there anyone out there tell me if you hear me I am lonely, broken, I am so alone out here Tell me where I need to go, tell me where you are right now Dark wastelands overshadow every smile Life is gone, life is lost I'm a broken man in a broken place Nobody won, we all lost instead Is there anyone, anyone, is there anyone left with me Is there anyone out there tell me if you hear me I am lonely, broken, I am so alone out here Tell me where I need to go, tell me where you are right now (Anyone, anyone) (Is there anyone, anyone) Is there anyone, anyone Anyone, anyone (Anyone, anyone) (Is there anyone, anyone) Is there anyone, anyone Anyone, anyone Lost in space, no rebirth An incurable scar This is the place we called earth A victim of war

Escalators 03:19
We cannot wait until the grass has grown To realise all our birds have flown Old traditions can be broken down Playing the only game in town Tell me what, tell me what makes a valuable person? Everyone, everyone is a unique version We get lost, we get lost in the human crowd We get lost, we get lost We get lost in the crowd Where everything's, yeah everything's allowed So let us stay, stay Let us stay, stay Our daily routine is bittersweet As we feel more and more incomplete Old traditions can be broken down Losing the only game in town Tell me why, tell me why, why don't we ignore the ban Everyone, everyone has it on their own hands We get lost, we get lost in the human crowd We get lost, we get lost We get lost in the crowd Where everything's, yeah everything's allowed So let us stay, stay Let us stay, stay On escalators we're standing on the right Against the crowds, we changed the sides We blindly understand each other And like the story to go further We get lost in the crowd Where everything's, yeah everything's allowed So let us stay, stay Let us stay, stay So let us stay, stay Let us stay, stay So let us stay, stay Let us stay, stay

I hated it every time The captain is still in my head The shadow predicts the fall One last war and then never again My back to the wall, my back to the wall foreseeable when Can I compete? Can I compete? Can I have permission? To dream, come clean, you are the problem To dream, come clean, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem Find a quiet spot, take your best shot A private paradise, your private paradise When life is too long When life is too long but still too short I hated you every time But I never wanted you more Drinking the poison itself Straight from the lips of a whore Slowly I drown, slowly I drown Down in the back of the well The poison itself, a chemical mess Burning a hole in my head To dream, come clean, you are the problem To dream, come clean, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem Find a quiet spot, take your best shot A private paradise, your private paradise Let's go I'm counting away the days And it's almost as if life is wasting away And I'm dying inside and I'm killing myself Just to fill in a void that can never be filled Why I'm just a sucker for habits I'm ruining everything that I've loved Over and over The process destroying my mind And a soul I can never get back You are the problem It's never gonna change Find a quiet spot, take your best shot A private paradise, your private paradise Paradise Paradise

One Second 03:48
Head under water So easy to get lost No need to bother Expect the worst Keep my head under water Till I'm unconscious Let's count the seconds together Till my heart is at rest I am on the way to the dead One, two, three, four A rush of blood to the head Five, six, seven, eight... stop You think it's just a second in a world of time But how much is it when it comes to dying One second can decide about now or never Will you stay or go? Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Driving down the avenue out of town Which is the tree for you, let's count them down Driving through the night Straight through the red traffic lights Should I grip the wheel tight Or should I just let go Do you ever think of staying underwater Eight, seven, six, five What is it that keeps me from doing it Four, three, two, one, stop! You think it's just a second in a world of time But how much is it when it comes to dying One second can decide about now or never Will you stay or go? Nothing lasts forever It's the heaviest choice to cross the dark line Cause every time I try you stay there and shine It's the heaviest choice because you're in my mind Every time I try diving into the black water void You light me up (You light me up) In these dark times You light me up (You light me up) In these dark times (In these dark times)

I am locked out, I am locked in The final nail in the coffin Underwater or under the sky I don't know how, I don't know why If we started again from the very beginning I'd still miss you, I'd still miss you A different path to the very same heartstrings That now form a noose That now form a noose Passion becomes a prison And I'm trying to relive what I no longer feel Freedom is not free An apocalypse in heaven for me Slipping away from you Right through the bars of our prison cell I am locked out, I am locked in Holding the final nail for the coffin The ashes of my energy Bring me to my misery If we started again with the same old delusions I'd still believe them, I'd still believe them In my head, we're tied by the very same heartstrings That pull me straight down Passion becomes a prison And I'm trying to relive what I no longer feel Freedom is not free An apocalypse in heaven for me Slipping away from you Right through the bars of our prison cell I am locked out, I am locked in Holding the final nail for the coffin The ashes of my energy Bring me to my misery The ashes of my... Bring me to my... Slipping away from you Right through the bars of our prison cell I am locked out, I am locked in Slipping away from you Right through the bars of our prison cell I am locked out, I am locked in Holding the final nail for the coffin Getting away from you Right through the bars of our prison cell I am locked out, I am locked in Holding the final nail for the coffin
