Like a lullaby without melody My mind is yours, my mind is yours to keep Taste the poisoned water, muse about acclaim Felt the traitor’s stab, long before the pain Like a criminal without weaponry My lies are yours, my lies are yours to keep High speed chase, insidious machine I will find a way to make you all come clean Your cover’s blown, better run and hide You can’t escape the evil eye Full blown madness on the rise Stick to your creed, I’ll stay with mine Like a sadness beyond remedy My sins are yours, my sins are yours to keep Gather at the carnival, waiting for a ride Trust your confidant, now let me be your guide Like a warrior with no enemy My life is yours, my life is yours to keep Maven engineer of a fool’s paradise I will come after you and make you pay the price Dead sky falls, let’s go and steal the crown Eden fades, see how they run around Meet the minds behind a wasted revolution Pick up the pieces of your own illusion Dead sky falls, too late to come around Eden fades, black rain is pouring’ down Masterminds of meaningless confusion Hypnotized by their dubious collusion

Behind the screen Ghosts inside my head Somewhere between The weakened and the dead Cold blooded Romeo lost his phony grin Too late to find the sacred love deep within I’ve been all over the place, tumbling side to side Against the grain, all in vain Where abandoned misfits reign Nothing will change, his eyes are set on you No time to spare, the serpent’s here for you Idle hands found new toys Vultures laugh and liars rejoice *But nothing changes, the serpent’s here for you Petty crimes revealed Cry wolf in a jealous rage My lips are sealed I’ll keep your secrets safe Troubled alien got lost and ran out of road I am the last one to come from a different mold I’ve been all over the place, tumbling side to side Against the grain, in vain, where abandoned misfits reign Somewhere in between the weakened and the dead The liars laugh and rejoice, idle hands found new toys My lips are sealed and I’ll keep your secrets safe The last one to come from a different mold I’ve been all over the place, tumbling side to side But I’m too late to find sacred love within

You know you’re not alone but the mirror glass is blank Footsteps echo down the hall but no-one calls your name Strangers live inside your mind and supervise your dreams Speedy feet and buzzing noise end your beauty sleep Now where do you go when the ground starts to shake? Bite the hand that feeds you And who do you deceive to do whatever it takes? Over and over, again and again A pack of hypocrites come to rearrange your face Blackguards stand silent while your temple gets defiled Open up those big eyes and glide to find your prey Turn around as vertigo sets in Now where do you go when the ground starts to shake? Bite the hand that feeds you Over and over, again and again And who do you deceive to do whatever it takes? Bite the hand that feeds you Over and over, again and again Where do you hide when night turns into day Bite the hand that feeds you Over and over, again and again Who do you believe when the prophets lost their way Bite the hand that feeds you Over and over, again and again You don’t know it yet but your brain is up for grabs Minions come in numbers to serve it on a plate Shaking hands with paranoia, dance the dance of death Head spins way too fast to see the warning signs Here they come, here they come now Eyes getting bigger and bigger Here they come, here they come now Sound’s getting louder and louder Forget about the red light, your savior’s dead and gone Chased away by grifters and buried in the sand Fight the incubus, squirming through the night Try to stay away to save what’s left of your mind Here they come, here they come now Eyes getting bigger and bigger Sound’s getting louder and louder Your nemesis is here to drag you far away Open up your mouth and let the games begin Here they come, here they come now Eyes getting bigger and bigger Sound’s getting louder and louder

This house is someone else’s now All animals are gone, and I move with the wind Across the hollows and moonlit fields Holding on to my ghosts, stardust and fantasies Walk on, through endless light Buried my broken wings deep in the ground So walk on, forget the sleepless nights All my last wishes been passed around This house is someone else’s now All memories are gone, love fades in the blue Forgotten songs and long lost tales Obey the time of the wolf, wasteland castaway

I couldn’t sleep the other night and went out walking. Saw him across the street, called out his name but I don’t think he heard me.. He had dirty clothes, just cheap rags, a too smart for others but too dumb for your own good kinda look. People were avoiding him but he looked like he didn’t care.. . Always thought the most dangerous man is the one that doesn’t care anymore, you know!? Back when I knew him he was a legend, a survivor, always landing on his feet in some strange wicked way. So I ran after him, maybe he needed help or something, sure looked like it but when I got closer I saw he had some kind of wings on his back!?, weird stuff, not fancy white angel wings but uglier, brown and kinda broken…the ones that don’t work properly cause they’re too weak to carry you, like cockroach wings or something. Anyway he turned a corner and I followed and then it was like he just disappeared, you know, like, swept away, by the hand of god or some stupid shit. Disappeared, he just disappeared..

I’m drivin’ blind on the winding road of bad decisions Wasted years lost in the dark When nighttime comes, close your eyes and hope for something better Fade away in starless land I travel light to escape your fateful visions Shadows fall on twisted minds So chase the sun with the lucky ones for years to come It’s do or die for deserted hearts Just let go, just let go Running out of time, a split second is all we need Just let go, just let go Follow the unknown, an ever elusive mystery Flaming towers fall, the beacon light died out, there’s no tomorrow Mother shows the way in and out of afterlife, whispers of despair Bloodless kings force young lovers to renew their vows for each other Keep the sinners close to your heart, pick up the pieces and run for cover Close your eyes and hope for something better Fade away in starless land I’m holding on to the demons hands and jump Into the void where I’ll be safe I travel light to escape your fateful visions Shadows fall on twisted minds So chase the sun with the lucky ones for years to come It’s do or die for deserted hearts You gotta just let go, just let go Running out of time, a split second is all we need Just let go, just let go Follow the unknown You gotta just let go, just let go Running out of time, a split second is all we need Just let go, just let go Follow the unknown

Have you ever wanted, someone you're not But you look into the world, and you see what you've got There's nothin' there, but brains and guts Finally open the door, and then it shuts Look to the center, and I’ll think you'll find The people that are gettin’, they are blind You changed the channel, and there's nothin' there You weren't born pretty, and it isn't fair... Here's to the losers The substance abusers To the rejects All the imperfects 'Cause I think we're beautiful You try for jobs but they say, you're strange You're sportin' a style that, they call pain So you get in trouble, and your brain is gone You're crying out, but the words are wrong Here's to the losers The substance abusers To the rejects All the imperfects 'Cause I think we're beautiful Yeah, I think we're beautiful No matter what anyone says I know you're tired, of being put down And all the crap, that's said in town But you're the person, that matters all the most I raise my glass, and make a toast Here's to the losers The substance abusers To the rejects All the imperfects To the retarded And the broken-hearted To the starving masses And the lower classes 'Cause I think we're beautiful Yeah, I think we're beautiful No matter what anyone says I think we're beautiful Yeah, I think we're beautiful No matter what anyone says
