Wake up it’s time to self destruct
Day break, drink up, can’t get enough
Medicate gotta fake like nothing’s wrong
but I’m barely hanging on
It’s back, this time is pain, it burns
can’t move her eyes cut me in half
resurrect, dead awake, the pain is gone
but I’m barely moving on
If the night claims no survivors
then why I am I here?
Tonight I will drink to die
I will drink to kill the broken recollections
tonight I will drown for you
I will drink to believe… only the strong survive
This time I think I’ve gone too far
she feels, she hates, can’t bleed enough
she comes in waves, what have I done?
I can’t remember what I’ve done
Fucked up I hate my fucking bones
my feet are wet, the blood, too much
It’s kind of late for a snake as she evokes the coke
She betrayed me long ago

Dance or Die

This is my dance song for you
This is my pop song for you
I made a song to hypnotize you
love how the beat penetrates you
now listen carefully and let it sink in
I wrote a dance song for you
I made this song to hypnotize you
I stole a dance song for you
You don’t listen to the sing-song melody
let me seduce you with the rhythm
now listen carefully and let it sink-in
no move. move. go on
don’t keep your eyes peeled the lyric in the air
no dance or die
don’t pay attention. there’s nothing there for you to hear
I made this song to make you groove
shake, shake your limbs until you drop
I made this song to make you
I made this song to shake you
I made this song to wake you
now move. go on. Don’t keep your eyes peeled to the lyric in the air
now dance or die don’t pay attention, there is nothing there for you to hear
now dance or die don’t pay attention, there is nothing there for you to hear
now dance or die don’t pay attention, just ignore the melody
now dance or die don’t pay attention, there is nothing there for you to hear
now dance or die don’t pay attention, there is nothing there for you to hear

Run Far Away
04:08

I feel a certain pain
running through my veins
carrying your name
eager thieves
crawling in my brain
try to change may ways
forcing me to pay
broken eyes
show me something fake
driving me insane
urging me to play
murder you
to find out if you’re real
let me see you bleed
let me see your face
RUN
Run far away from here.
Fight the fiend inside your head
I feel them closing in
voices that I hear
reminding me I’ve failed
twisted laws
making my own rules
taking what is mine
we won’t go away
never cry
they can smell the tears
fire in your eyes
burn away the fear
tomorrow shines
showing me the way
the road has been revealed
path that I must take
RUN

Give Me Back My Memory
04:13

He’s a poet and a writer
innovator and a hero.
He’s not another man of science
He’s the father he’s the leader
He can see the world trough his golden eyes
doesn’t say a word only speaks the math
He could see the world through his wicked eyes
Never said a word until the day he died
His mind is gold
memories are treasured
Don’t take my mind.
I need it one more time - give me back my memory
Give back my brain.
I need it once again - give me back my memory
While he's thinking of the sickness
Diagnosed with forgetting
He used to be a man of science
Took his life from all the madness
His mind is gone
Memories are broken
don’t take my mind,
I need it one more time - give me back my memory
give back my brain,
I need it once again - give me back my memory

One Step Closer
05:00
|

Cover yourself behind the trees or
the crows will feed off your dying hand
the blood scent entices the beast
send your prayers to the wounded man
who would have thought
love making
newborn crawling
children walking
bodies dropping
one step closer to the end
Hear the river crack the banks
she will come to you as a memory
smell her photograph, one last time
let the past comfort you now, it’s time
who would have thought
I won’t take your eyes today
I know the blind can hear me better
but you’ll need them. you will breathe once again
the world is yours to live another day
who would have thought
love making
newborn crawling
children walking
bodies dropping
one step closer to the end
one step closer to seeing you again
