After the world has changed After the evening breaks After the mountain sighs and calls my name After the stars collide After my words don't rhyme I'll still believe in you and how you shine I've been in love with you all my I've been in love with you all my I've been in love with you all my life So help me be with you all the Help me be with you all the Help me be with you all the time Lorsque que le monde changera Je serai là avec toi Je serai là, mon cher, compte sur moi Sur les montagnes on ira Deux voyageurs trop grands Deux amoureux comme ça, je le crois Que ce monde ne nous tuera pas Je penserais à toi sous la Je penserais à toi sous la Je penserais à toi sous la pluie Je t'aimerais alors toute ma Je t'aimerais alors toute ma Je t'aimerais alors toute ma vie

Mind Control Blues 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Secrets in the morning When I hear the whole world yawning Secrets I wish to let out Primitive expressions Didn't give me no direction Do I escape or stay put? Vicious propaganda Threw you back into the jungle Pushed you right back to the fire Even though nobody has control over your body Figures of speech after all It's only your mind the control It's only your mind they control I am nothing like you And I don't want to be, fuck you Why don't you, why don't you love me? Even so I'm learning How to live without exempting All of my thoughts from their actions I woke up in the morning And I posted from my phone And asked the world "How much more will you tolerate this bullshit?" I'm under their nose I'm tied in a knot I'm here and I'm not, and that's all It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control The reason why I'm saying this Is that I ain't got a clue How every little thing Seems to escape right off of you I don't have any manners And it's almost time to leave So I don't really know Why I even bothered to say please It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control It's only your mind they control I am nothing like you And I never will be, fuck you

Oh Boy 03:48
lyrics

Dreams come and then they break Over everything All the little shards, they cut like knives Tearing me apart Whispers in the dark Felt just like it did when I was young When I was a child When I didn't mind All the background noise was just some game One that I could play One that I could get behind until the end Don't treat me like a liar Treat me like the fire Run the other way when I come through 'Round and 'round for you Guess it's what I do Overly dependent on some praise That they send my way Practiced my own pain And backflipped out of town For an applause Something to believe, something to remain When all is turned to ruin, oh boy And even if I'm mad about it It don't mean I'll talk about it Either way I'm not afraid To say exactly how I feel Dreams bursting through the skies Take me for a ride I'm yours tonight or any other night Send me back in time When I was young When I was a child When I didn't mind When I still believed in black and white But it was all too much Had to find myself some better place to hide Oh boy And even if I'm mad about it All I do is laugh about it Either way I'm not afraid To say exactly how I feel So ask me once and I'll admit it Half the times I've played I cheated Sad to see your enemy Looks just the same as me And in the end we'll talk about it We'll find out who was wrong about it You know me, I'm not afraid To say exactly how I feel This is exactly how I feel

No Tomorrow, Just Today 02:57
lyrics

Come back, come back, oh atmosphere A vicious fog is haunting me Come back and whisper words to me I'm like a million miles away Not tomorrow, come today Went to the local tournament I'm only here to watch and learn I'm counting all the stars above There's like a million more to go No tomorrow, just today Feel the storm inside now This old shelter's full of holes Feel my heart beat heavy 'Cause we don't have very long Find the ones who blame you Don't you sit them on a throne Find the ones who shame you Yet another year is gone And it feels like I'm a million miles Away from everything Hopeless like a firefighter Against a tidal wave And I already put out the fire Yes, I already put up a fight Go down, go down the steps at night A secret crowd is gathering The air is filled with broken dreams But there's a million things to drink Order yours and one for me Come forth with all your appetites Describe them all in your own words There's music special-made for you Let's sing along and drink a few No tomorrow, there's just today If it fails let's try again Time is running out once more How 'bout just one more trick? If I had a word to use I'd say the game is fixed! Find the ones who blame you Find the ones who stole your light Kill them all, kill them all Kill them all in sight And it feels like I'm a million miles Away from everything Guess I'm just a firefighter Against a tidal wave And I already put out the fire Yes, I already played my cards right

Make Love and Go to War 04:24
lyrics
buy track
What is life but a series of memories You can replay round and round 'til they're gone Thought you'd seen it all But you were 10 years old This is your burden; this is your fault What is love but a texture of elegance That can combine all the truth in the world Thought you knew it all at 21 years old Swimmin' is easy when you go with the flow What is time in a moment of loneliness What is hope in a world without one She first saw the shore at 35 years old But time's not wasted; time's just gone; gone What is death but a passionate intercourse That can unite what's real and what's not But you know the score, we only live that long So let's make love and then go to war At the other side of the family tree There's a man too restless to go How he's lost it all at 70 years old Too tired to win but too proud to quit What is time in an infinite universe What is right if there's nothing that's wrong There's still time to grow, you're really not that old You didn't lose you, time's just flown; flown away What am I but a speck in your empty thoughts A projection that feels like a ghost Yes, I know I'm not what other people want Livin' is easy when you're all on your own What is life but a series of melodies You can replay round and round 'til you're gone Yes, I know it all, I'm like a century old Too many lifetimes stored in my memory There's the finish line and a brand new start But I'm stuck somewhere in between Yes, you know the score, we only live that long So let's make love and go to war Let's make love and go to war

Ballad Of The World (It's Bullsh¡t) 04:32
lyrics
buy track
The sun rose over the hill Brand new light And I was standing alone All too bright No one's there anymore No one's left Bodies, skeletons, drones, living dead Cold machinery walks on your bones When I'm finally awake Don't you start to stop You wanted life to start again You want the wheel to start again You want the world to start again You want me too, to start again Well, it's all laid down for you You wanted time that never ends The kind you'd use to make amends You'd have your thirteen-second fame And everyone would know your name Well, it's over now There's new overlords And they want us to feel estranged They want us all to go insane They're playin' a dirty, dirty game And all this time we've been their slaves And fought their war for them There is a reason why the very first time Someone walked on woods That the others did not know They faced the wrath of a million stones And every motherfucker on the top Was looking down on them And in the end of every story such as this The ones below discovered something that they missed Some deep canonical messiah With a voice that sings the ballad of the world This is a message to the governments of hate This is a message to the governments of chaos This is a message to the governments of jerks This is a message to the governments of terror This is a shout-out to the fellas at the military Funded by the few to protect the many profits to be made with your gun on the enemy Bang, bang, bang, bang! This isn't red, this isn't blue It's just a sheer continuation of an oligarchy Fast turning the world upside down With all this bullshit It's bullshit It's bullshit It's bullshit, it's bullshit, it's bullshit Bullshit!

Away from The Light 03:55
lyrics

I'm in, I'm in a state that I can't breathe That's why I'm saying what I mean What I mean What I mean is I don't think there's something good for you in me And you're mean; you're mean 'Cause you don't seem to find a place where you believe you'll be free You can be all that you dream So go ahead now, baby, dream With a dream Just dream of everywhere you wish to be instead of here But I'm here Won't leave without a kiss Trying to hold you there in my arms Trying to hold you away from the light Away from the light I'm in, I'm in your head just like a thief That's how I'm making you believe You believe You believe in everything that I say But not in me, not me 'Cause I'm mean Just like that dream you wish to remember But it slips away the moment you wake up The more you try, the less you see Come here; come here Just one more kiss Before our eyes fall into the abyss, the abyss Be still, hold on to me Trying to hold you, there in my arms Trying to hold you away from the lies Trying to hold you, there in my arms Trying to hold you away from the light Away from the light Je peux pas te voir dans l'obscurité Tu vas toujours plus loin, loin de mon coeur Je peux pas te voir dans l'obscurité Tu vas toujours plus loin, loin de la lumière Loin de la lumière

Insomnia Song 04:06
lyrics

Very, very, very Various states of being I'm in Just like my mind no longer thinks that I'm alive Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me you hate the way I sing It's kinda like a compliment to me Just gets me high Lie down, lie down, can't give a fuck Feel like I'm torn and stitched back up It's kinda nice to feel something, even pain Eyeballs turn red, just paint them white I'm on the wrong side of the right I'm on the wrong side of about everything Clocks are ticking but I ain't sleeping An artificial light and a box that's beeping In the morning I get real shady One more glance and I might get angry Ears are buzzing, the hours keep coming I get from A to B with my thoughts untangling C to D just gets a little shitty I hate my rhymes and I hate this city All my time feels like wasted And I'm so intoxicated right now All those pretty figures sabotage my efforts I don't mean to let you down Maybe, maybe, maybe Maybe I'm tired of being like this Caught in a looped controversy Didn't even try this time Hurry, hurry, hurry Hurry up, be my medicine Give me some songs to set me free Don't leave me dry Get up, get up, don't make a sound Life is like that, just turn around Cheers to the bastards getting a nice long sleep I'm not who you think, it's all a show I'm on the edge, just let me go I believe that sometimes all I do is fall... Down! Hearts are beating and I ain't kidding A sacrificial shrine to a mind that's blipping In the evening it all gets hazy One more round and I might do something crazy Thoughts are coming but I keep running I got from A to Z like a zillion times now Who's the master of my own disaster? I hate this world 'cause I want it to go faster All my tries feel so useless I don't care; intoxicate me right now All those broken pieces will fall back together I don't wanna let you down Hold my head and lay me down

Happy in The Dark 04:15
lyrics

Once upon a time you were a fighter You pushed them 'til you brought them to their knees Well, I know a thing or two about violence I'm addicted to this thing I'm on the way to nowhere, don't you know? Once upon a time you had a lover He pushed you 'til he brought you to your knees And I do believe you loved him Almost as much you love me So push me while I pay for his mistakes Then I'm all alone again And I'm talking to myself And I'm under the impression that we don't do well with pressure I'm so happy in the dark Things were good but now they're bad Feel so close to you Yet I'm so far away from me I'm happy in the dark I'd rather I just were drunk Just once in our lives let's just be lovers We'll smile at one another for a while 'Cause you know these loving arms were made for leaving And there's no telling just when they're coming back And I'm all alone again I'm still talking to myself While you're looking for forgiveness From the ones who came between us Don't you know I'm happy in the dark? (I'm drunk without you) Can't say this but you say that (I'm drunk without you) Can't believe you when you say that you don't mean a thing We're just drunk on your blood I'd rather be drunk on love I'd rather be drunk on love I'd rather be drunk on love I'm so different in the dark Things were good but now I'm sad Feel so close to you Yet I'm so far away from me I'm just drunk in the dark I'd rather be drunk with you I'd rather be drunk with you (I'd rather be drunk with you) Happy in the dark (I'd rather be drunk with you) Together in the dark (I'd rather be drunk with you) Just naked in the dark (I'd rather be drunk with you) Happy in the dark And that's what you get For falling in love with me

So Much More Than This 03:35
lyrics

And I took a sip from a poison well Yeah, I took a blow and got up again There's a crystal world Where the losers and lovers go Where the boat's still in fact afloat It's where I go when I close the door But I'm keeping my mind open I'm inviting you in as well 'Til you say something's missing Feel like you could be doin' so much more than this So I took a vow to escape somehow 'Cause they'll come with bombs Over our heads and homes And if the bombs don't work They'll come after your families Turn them into your enemies And I'm helpless against this war 'Cause I'm already over here I take shelter in you, my dear Still I fear something's coming What if we could be doin' so much more than this? And I took a bite from a poison tree Yeah, it fucked me up But I'm still right here In a sea of doubt Making sense of reality Making terms with all the things that I see All the shit that unfolds right in front of me And I urge myself Hell, I urge everyone I know To take a stand for all the things you believe And stop wishing that you could be doin' so much more than this And I took a breath and I wrote it down If you swim like this, you will surely drown In a sea of hell; in a sea of torture With your buddy Tom and your glass of whiskey Now I'm trapped in this little room And I'm wondering what to do So I'm writing this song for you Wishing I could be doin' so much more than this

Monsters Everywhere 04:02

Remember how it started? Remember how you laughed? Remember falling in line with the lies 'Til the lies started eatin' you up Remember all of the acrobats? Remember all of the guns? Remember searching your place in the crowd In your way you were just tryin' to make it right Half a million people Single voice that sounds like fiction And I guess they're held together By some home they can't remember Remember how it ended? Remember all of the blood? Remember running around in the crowd And the panic you felt in your heart Half a million people Single scream that sounds like fiction Now they're underlined in pencil By the ones who hold the records I don't really tell nobody 'Bout the monsters in my head I don't even trust my judgement Only monsters everywhere I tried to break the mold But the holes in my soul are as thick as a cannonball (fire away!) If anybody asks I'll be out on my own Smoking pot in a garden of song Still I remember everything Remember, remember, remember Remember everything Remember, remember, remember Half a million people Single voice that sounds like fiction Now they're happily divided By some plan that was decided from the start I don't really tell nobody 'Bout the monsters in my head I don't even trust my judgement Only monsters everywhere A revolution had begun On the same day it was undone Take what you want from me and run Run, run, run, run I don't really tell nobody 'Bout those monsters in my head I don't even trust myself Only monsters everywhere And I don't believe in saying you're sorry I don't even know your name Thank you for the helping hand Fighting monsters everywhere Fighting monsters everywhere Fighting monsters in the air

One Long Goodbye 05:07
lyrics

Take my hand before we say goodbye Could this be the last time we feel like this? Every thought of home Lingered with you for so long Suddenly there is movement Will you carry on when I'm finally gone? Hold your head up high and go dancing Now the teardrops fall down our flesh and soul As we burst like flames into motion Tryin' so hard to hold on to it Can't let go just yet Be my friend, be my misery My misery has come to find you now But I can't turn my head when things go south My fairytales are over, let me down Now I can't find no creatures to fly on Will I turn the page when some company man buys my one-way ticket to nowhereland? Second thoughts rush my head like worms Am I giving up on your last request? Singing "don't leave Don't leave me hanging" Your misery has gone too far, I know But I can't fix everything on my own The fairytale got deep, we almost drowned But we got out of it alive somehow All my misery is coming back to me Face the fire and I can't show you where to start All my fantasies mean so little finally I, I, I don't care, I'm always on your side Won't let this die Like when I walked out the door Left you there alone And I turned my back for the last time I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry But my whole life has been one long goodbye

The Answers 03:42
lyrics

I found all the answers Where I thought they would be There were no answers Like I said there wouldn't be On with the fireworks And on with the show We're already far from the hill On with the martyrs and fugitives running That's something that I wouldn't do Oh, that's something I just wouldn't do If I'm a survivor Well, then who the hell are you? This time I'll choose what is best for me And I hope that you will too On with the fireworks And on with the show I'm already fit for the role Armed with a deadly smile Kill or be killed That's something that I wouldn't do Oh, that's something I just wouldn't do I've waited my whole life For this moment to come You'd think I'll be ready But I'm frozen where I stand Do it my own way Or play by their rules The choice, it was always my own And if I gave it up, could I be true? That's something that I wouldn't do Oh, that's something I just wouldn't to do Traveling far and wide From the highest mountain To the city in the sky I found all the answers Where I thought they would be There were no answers Like I said there wouldn't be On with the fireworks then On with the show I'm already over the hills (and far away) On with the bloodshed And fugitives running That's something that I wouldn't do Oh, that's something I just wouldn't do
