Behind your eyes
Fanatic arousal
You damn your child
To inherit your downfall
Reward
Be buried alive
We cannot afford
All the hate all the time
You got to be taken away
We got to be taken
Into the morning light
We got to be taken
Into the dawn of time
We got to be taken
Immortalized
Your frantic desire
With insane pride
You take no denial
Reborn
All dirty and vile
We cannot ignore
All the shame all the time
You got to be taken away
Your words don’t mean a thing
The same goes for reasoning
You only paraphrase what you heard before
Your words are all the same
The only thing you really mind
Is when we shove them back inside your throat
We got to be taken
Now get inside

We’re all electrified in different ways
We hunt necessities of every day
A piece of soul scattering throughout the universe
A grain of stone, so rare we stack it up the wall
We hold a vital share of everything
Cause we know a life enhancing secrecy
We turn silver to gold
You dig it out and realize
It should have stayed where it was before
You heat it up to be refined
And leave a stain and nothing more
We’re all desensitized by different means
We haunt the pale remains of hopes and dreams
But chemicals restore metal made by a sole ingredient
Framed and forged to cover up the bloodstains on the rock
Just like the light of day
Your beauty is meant to fade
It’s wearing off your face
Delighted by your own grace
You simplify the reasons later on

The Rain
03:23

Late at night I pour the ashes from the train
But maybe I should save the ashes from the rain all night
I have every sense to be amazed
But I’ve never felt this way
Hide below the surface of my rage
That I never felt this way
This way
Late at night I blow the ashes from the train
The rain and I would only blend if you remain alive
I have every sense to be amazed
But I’ve never felt this way
Hide below the surface of my rage
That I never felt this way
And I had many occasions but I failed
Even now I can’t explain
That I don’t have the words to really say
Why I never felt this way
This way

We don’t care how much power you take
We only care how to survive
You’ve got a big dead smile on your face
The angry stare with demon eyes
Insane ambitions overpower the state
And we condone in disbelief
War
Destroy
Defeat
One world against the other
The world's a desert since you privatized the water
Air hard to breathe as you inflate the oxygen bill
Welcome to earth supreme
Action/Reaction
Cause and effect
But there is more than meets the eye
You spread the fiction of an imminent threat
The other side dehumanized
Insane ambitions overpower the state
And we condone in disbelief
War
Defy
Deceit
One world against the other
We stand here to survive
In a wasteland far away
We stare into the night
To a place beyond the pain
Pass over to a realm
Where all live as one kind of one world
Lifted off the ground above all these horrors
Stay
Oh my God
Stay as long lasting on
Find stillness
Find everything lost
Before it comes crashing down
March!
March of the demagogue

This time
I’ll be choosing it well
When I want things to unfold
I would listen to myself
And then toss it away
All enlightened
Dream of something better
And I recognize again
Choosing is not losing
Not to stand for the values of others
Not to bother
Not to verify again
If using your amusement
Is to comfort me
Yeah
And it comforts me, yeah
And I toss it away, and away
I toss it away again
And I toss it away
Dream of something better
All enlightened
Undivided

When I talk to me
There’s no need to say
I’m becoming to be like you
When I walk away
There’s no need to stay
I’m becoming to be like you
Be like you
When I said this story would end I entirely knew
Yet I’m not the one to walk away
Night and day I’m choosing the better way of using it right
Cause I’m not the one to walk away
Himalaya
Pull the rock away
It is in my way
Would I climb it or bleed it through
When I talk to me
It’s no need to say
I’m as solid and numb like you
Ever be like you
You
When I said this story would end I entirely knew
Yet I’m not the one to walk away
Night and day I’m choosing the better way of using it right
For the mountain of infinity
How long did you think it would last till I honor you?
Yes I’m gazing at the scenery
Now why would I refuse and not get away to follow it through?
Cause I’m not the one to walk away
Himalaya
Crest up
Standing even
Himalaya
Crest up
Standing even
You

Decoy is affection
This place is your demise
You fell for deception
End erasing all the ties
We got to be forgetting
You need a place to be off your head
Now we’re really going to rip it up
The tide is pulling me inside
Now wake me up cause it’s almost over
Reaching out for light
And fueling me with life
Now shake me up cause it’s almost over
If you haven’t made it
Take comfort in revival
You’re going to be elated
Of who stated your denial
We got to be forgetting you’re
Entertained to be off your head
We hear voices sound
We hear noise rebound
We hear voices shout
We hear voices sound
Ripping up the tide
Pulling me inside
Ripping up the tide
Fueling me with life
Ripping up the tide
Pulling me inside
Now wake me up cause almost over
Reaching out for light
Fueling me with life, almost over, yeah
You cannot just leave it
You cannot just leave it out
Just leave it out

Ain’t no living
Ain’t just giving
A hollow breathing
A scent of rotten youth
The paint is peeling
Off the ceiling
Tomorrow is seeping
Through every pore of the wall
I got a force within
I got to be torn in a riot
I got to start again
Dissent
Enough
Renewal
I’ve been this sort of man
Electrifying liar, liar
I’ve been immortal then
An unnecessary liar, liar
This rage is unappealing
To phase out sensitivity
Recharging with disbelief
But this is nothing new
What I know is deceiving
I surrender insecurity
I savage you peacefully
It’s all the luck you knew
Been this sort of man
Liar
Deceiving sort of man
Liar, liar
I ain’t gonna to stay around
I ain’t gonna to stay bound
To the place I don’t belong

You came for me…
Are you infectious?
Dying of bore…
Think you scare the living hell out of me?
Pick a side!
Am I a socialist?
A conservative?
Think you're trying to divide sympathy…
Play it right!
Do I have to go with it?
Or disagree?
Overrate
Overstate
Overblown
Overboard
Do you rely on the reaction of my skin?
Do you rely on my absolution?
We’re avatars of the same dream
Of the same dream
And we all keep circling around it
Talking about it
Screaming for company
We all keep playing the symphony
You came for me…
Spread out the pestilence!
Spread out the bore!
Seems you care about your ideology…
Pick a side!
Am I being victimized?
Or do I oppress?
Seems you try to affiliate it with me…
Play it right!
Try to indoctrinate
A new moral code
Overrate
Overstate
Overblown
Overboard
Leave me out
Right…
I can feel your anger
Biting off your tongue
Disapprove me all the way you want…
You are wrong
Check yourself!
Tripping over prejudice
Where do I belong?
Nothing you could ever rate
Ever blow overboard

Mescaline
I don't know how it else would be
If you wouldn't be my number one
Wouldn't know what else to say
Cause in my life you are the sun
I'm ok
You're my
Mescaline
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine
Though I’m about to lose control
Maybe I won't see the sign
Yeah, when it's time to let you go
I'm ok
You're my
Mescaline
Now forget – regret
Tattoos label you
Beforehand – delayed
Status – unstable you
Watch out
Silence on the way
To influence a new day
A summer walk through the rain
By the trees that form an alley
Not everything we say
Ever needed to be said
You know everything about me
I'm ok
You're my
Mescaline
(We started again now the drama is over)
