Don't lie down too much in this cosy world You'll lose the perception of what is above It's all about the purpose asleep in your head There's always the danger your brain can go dead We need a new language coming from the heart Accept we're alone from the end to the... stars You can't protect yourself from reality You'll be wrapped up in a wicked tranquility We are brainwashed sons with brainwashed Moms Flower Power's the last real thought we began And how can we keep this species alive? We're dying like snails, behind stays the mind, But we don't mind Everyone gathers in the center of Youth Praying for a future, forgetting the truth We're robots in autopilot, dressed up in suits We're programmed diseases, activated & loose Yeah, yeah And what can we do if there's no interaction? Disposable love is already in fashion Why do we need a roof, if what we want is to fly? Confronting our nature, we laugh & we cry But will we ever wonder why? (Break the bubble, free the babies) Everyone's used to permanent lies Truth becomes shocking, an unpleasant surprise The world is round, an horizon misguided Put in a place to deceive the minds Yeah, yeah We're all sitting in the center of Truth Looking around, searching for lies

I can't drive, can't hide, can't thrive, I die If you turn me around today, I will leave my way I'll hunt the hunting lip, same old conning trip Falling from the sun, like a firing gun They say it feels good, and it's been understood "But you gotta stop foolin' with it" And all those lies, so misunderstood, Made the truth stop fooling with it No drugs, no fucks, no luck, euphoria fuss! Will you drive me insane? I'll pay the same... I'll hunt the hunting lip & fall in the same old trick Falling from the sun like a firing gun and sway They say it feels good, and it's been understood "But you gotta stop foolin' with it" And all those lies, so misunderstood, Made the truth stop fooling with it, 'Made you say it feels good, it's been understood But you gotta stop fuckin' with it May the truth start fucking with it Start fucking with it Don't let it break you just because They say it feels good, yeah it's been understood But you gotta stop foolin' with it And all those lies, so misunderstood, Made the truth stop foolin' with it 'Made you say it feels good, it's been understood But you gotta stop fuckin' with it Evil & Good in the same neighborhood Now you gotta stop messing with it You gotta stop messing with it STOP messing with it.

Broken heart, damned disease Look at what it did to me Repeating broken words like Love & Peace All I said was meant for me Not for you to bleed Teaching myself how to breathe And how to handle the deceit 'Cause holding on too long to memory Makes it look like the lane to be Well, what I want is not what you need My far gone youth, I'm broken in two But I'll get back, only with the Truth My beloved wreck has fallen too I won't regret what I've gone through I'll bet back only on the Truth Stolen soul, addict mind Taken away from Humankind Trapped in my own mine 'Cause holding on too long to misery Makes it look like the place to be When you can't feel But I'll get back, only with the Truth My beloved wreck has fallen too I won't regret what I've gone through I'll bet back only on the Truth The road is all about history What's meant to be I sharp narrow bistoury, you see, To get you back on your feet & back on your street

Poison Ivies 05:32
I see colors in the wind Blowing as if painting the darkness of our souls The canvas of our sin Intangible to the eye, but restless inside our skin The wind flows to where it hurts We love the sun because it hides the worst Is this real? Is this all that we can feel, Down in our broken hearts? I can tell this is nothing but a spell Put in our spotless hearts Can you feel all of this, beyond the real, In their loaded cards? I see white horses in the sky They flagrantly gallop while saying they can fly The pinnacle of our line The product of Existence that has been stolen from Life And the wind keeps sadly flowing The colors are all fading Is this real? Is this all that we can feel, Down in our broken hearts? I can tell this is nothing but a spell Put in our spotless hearts Can you feel all of this, beyond the real, In their low loaded cards? Is this real? Is this all that we can feel, Down in our broken hearts? Bleeding Hearts & Beauty-berries in my garden, Away from minefields Poison Ivies are now gone, I plant seeds of everything that heals Everything that grows & strays Stories always have an ending But the wind keeps elegantly flowing
5.
All over Me 04:13
Let's sit on this invisible porch, Pretend we still know each other 'Cause Life now is a drag, a bore And you always were the one to adore Yeah, I fell in a million traps, now I'm stuck Filling applications to join a new rut Let's sit on this invisible bed Invisible feeling only in my head Sacred love dies Secrets hold ties Secrets held tight Feeling gone dried Let's walk this invisible path And pretend there's no other way Let's talk about today and cry about the past Then put it away while I ask you to stay On this invisible bed, Absent skin that I've been fed Sacred love dies Secrets hold ties Secret held tight Feeling gone dried All I need is something, something to believe I'm still worth something, something incredible Some think impossible. All I need is me All I need is me again Regrets & wine go well together 'Til the wine is over and the feeling remains Yeah, it's all over me It's all over Sacred love dies Secrets hold ties Secret held tight (it's all over me) Feeling gone dried (It's all over)

She's been moving on, she's in London now She's a woman now and says it out loud She's so happy in her small kingdom attic It fits her oh, so well It all just vanished, though she wanted Venice Her glass heart broke 'cause the sky wasn't my limit I can't martyrize myself (I'd rather be wrong) I can't spend my life in a cell (I'd rather be wrong) The villain sings his song I've been rambling on, from Hell to Kong-Kong The same view for so long, on and on She's so happy, well, I'm "just an addict" It suits me oh, so well I can't martyrize myself (I'd rather be wrong) I can't spend my life in a cell (I'd rather be wrong) The villain sings his song
7.
I pick you up, put you on my throne You get so high you forget all about your phone Yeah, You like the guitar, but you want to change my tone I can't have it, I'm better all alone Is your fake life worth the breeze? 'Millions marching to the same old scene Don't you realize you're inside a screen? Trick or Treatment, do you know what I... mean? I put you down, make you leave through the floor You don't chase rabbits, you go straight to the hole (You don't even get what I mean) Is your fake life worth the breeze? 'Millions marching to the same old scene Don't you realize you're inside a screen? Trick or Treatment, do you know what I mean? In your real life of broken dreams There's no peace, there's no peace Would you fall in love with your eyes closed? Dress yourself in atom coats, And run miles with your...mind? Is your fake life worth the breeze? 'Millions marching to the same old scene Don't you realize you're inside a screen? Trick or Treatment, do you know what I mean? Would you drink life with your mouth closed? Words are giant sinking boats Can you run miles with your... mind?

A beautiful moment of change Rose to the occasion, unnoticed & unframed Meanings have no purpose but to blame Broken souls wishing to touch flame Pretty things are just pretty things Delusion is the fuel to Pain To watch the sea while the water sinks And lose it all in one blink In a moment of chance Like Love at a last... glance The light is brighter now No use for bitters now The night is older now No life to squander now The ugly feeling of shame Is left for the bigmouths to tame Fake roses are dead, violence is true Deflowered moments of distress Rough thoughts of Hopelessness Raging binge of Cowardice I'm done with all of this In this beautiful cell I'm unchained Yeah I broke down & I broke through A beautiful moment of change Rose to the occasion, unnoticed & unframed The light is brighter now No use for bitters now The night is older now No life to squander now The light is brighter now The light is brighter now It will be alright now It will be alright now The night is older now.

It's the last time for smiling pricks No more heart-shaped devils No more heads to fix Time to let go of the Past No more mind-raped gods In this Future of Oz Godspeed, white teeth We're getting away from your internal grease Free the lies, let them go Get it over with Let their mind-fuck dry Free the cell that's selling your soul Get done with it Gone with the million air flies It's the lost hope for a better world That makes you crazy, a pro at being lazy Don't feed the mouth that bites you No more vu déjà, no more voodoo scars Time to let go of their rope No more tightly tied life Get a hold of their knife To free the lies, let them go, get it over with Let their mind-fuck dry Free the cell that's selling your soul, Get done with it, Done with the millionaire flies "All bad endings must come to good things" Say the crook men to the slave They've lost their track, got no tact, just the act, They're just dead from the neck up I show it to the pigs They make it disappear If they can't have it no one will It's so hard to make it real 'Cause in the dirt you're always covered In someone else's shit And when the light faces Darkness Darkness fears that the Truth will be revealed And shine a lie... Get your dander up, get your goat, get rid of their rope There's no safe net in Hell, might as well wear it well, But get rid of their rope We all know they're all just dead from the neck up Free the lies, let them go Get it over with Let their mind-fuck dry Free the cell that's selling your soul Get done with it Done with the million air flies "All bad endings must come to good things" Say the crook men to the slave They've lost their track, got no tact, it's a fact, They're just dead from the neck up.

Had a vision in the hall Made reflections on the wall Crooked and dangerous Kicking me until I fall Unconscious burdens, I can't decide which one to follow No one will wonder if they'll still be here tomorrow And drive a man to strife And die, saving my life A mile is enough to grind My mind, an absolute mine I crack from the ceiling And begin to know the floors Laughing as a booze abuser Better leave me at the door A booked confusion, yeah, My schedule's no surprise And drives a man to strife To die, saving my life A mile is enough to grind My mind, an absolute mine (A way out of here, no more pleasure here A way out of here, no more pleasure here) It drives a man to strife To die, saving my life A mile is enough to grind My mind, an absolute mine And dries all of my life And ties up all I could find It dries all of my life This mind, a peculiar kind It drives my mind It drives a peculiar kind. This mind, a peculiar Kind

Real Life 03:54
Is this real life worth the dream? Yeah, I turned my back to the vultures in my life Those days are over & all of those hours of crime Oh, I sought redemption, but enough with the trials There are too many broken souls, And I've got my own to redefine Is this real life mine? Does it taste as good as wine? Is this real life blind? 'Cause it doesn't see my kind, no Yeah, I've ignored all the callings, all the paths Those days are over, all those red rivers flowing into death No need for detention, I've done my time 'Already too many buildings Wanting me imprisoned & out-shined Is this real life mine? Does it taste as good as wine? Is this real life blind? 'Cause it doesn't see my kind Is ignorance worth a mind? Is your mind worth the chance? Is this really what we have planned? Is anything in your hands? Is this real life? 'Cause it doesn't seem mine Doesn't taste like good wine Though it's making me blind No, It won't change my kind No, it won't change my kind No, it won't change our Kind
12.
Worm Hole 05:37
We're living so dead, broken & scared, out of our ways And the need for things is causing such pain While we give our heart away You say Love moves in cycles, a constant delay So you loved yesterday, now you don't anyway Could we be more hypocritical? I just wish that Truth could see us, could come meet us and stay Forever now, now and then, for free We put our faith on a suit & a beautiful dress Trust a destiny that's held by fantasy While our soul is copied & pasted Well, I'm ready to die 'cause I know I have tried and I felt this human Between the trees and the breeze, feeling free Hey! Hey! Lift up your body, let them rape your heart Hey! Hey! And if it gets dizzy, go back to the start Hey! Hey! Lift up your body, praise your glorious mind, Let it become Art We're losing our hope, 'cause we're tied to a rope They sell all over town Feeling so tired, we work 'til we're fired So who are we calling of clown? Politely, politically, call it what you want to see Oh, If Truth could come and stay Hey! Hey! Lift up your body, let them rape your heart Hey! Hey! If it gets dizzy, go back to the start Hey! Hey! Lift up your body, praise your glorious mind Let it become Art World, where's Existence? We lost it to Greed & to Passive Resistance World, wake up for the souls that need assistance Hey! Hey! Lift up your body, let them rape your heart Hey! Hey! If it gets dizzy, go back to the start Hey! Hey! Lift up your body, praise your glorious mind Let it become Art We put our faith on a suit & beautiful dress Hey! Hey! A destiny held by fantasy Hey! Hey! Now, what are we trying to be?

To find bliss in boredom Is a long journey full of mountains The water falls where the wine once lived You take it in your skin to wash away the sin And you're clean but the dirt will always be present Though the past is far, and gone you are I am what I made of myself, Forever scarred Find me reasons to leave This treasure mine that's not for me Find me reasons to believe A broken cell door is the answer for a thief Like me. To find bliss, imprisoned Is a sky full of layered clouds The rain falls only on me, the sun is always right As I've left the tears in my pocket, to keep them away From that never coming light That love at first sight detained by the night So find me reasons to stay In this treasured life that's not mine Find me Love, find me Grace My star is refusing to shine A wise man once said "Don't let it go to your head" Easy for him to say, Even if that man was me Find me reasons to stay In this treasured life, that's not mine Find me Love, find me Grace My star is refusing to shine Find me a place For my thalamic gate, Where I can finally Be Me.
