From the point of view of mine
You’re a waste of gravity
You are the battery
We need more energy
A water bag without a cause
Plain depravity
Don’t play the game
It’s all the same
Pick your poison, dose it right
And in the end, you feel nothing
No win or lose
You don’t have to choose
Got your training wheels for Hell
You learn obedience
Come for your cure
You need your cure
Fuck your better nature
Your golden morning never came
Come kill your darlings, honey
You don’t deserve them anyway
Feed the engine
Come feed the engine
In your head
Damned be the sunlight
Inside your mind the midnight is bright
Lies are bought and lies are sold
And you do what you’ve been told
There is no sanity
It’s all your vanity
It’s not about if you obey
You need to hear you are okay
Got you to dream
You swim against the stream
And in defiance of it all
You still suck your fucking lure
You think you swim
But we reel you in
Fuck your better nature
Your golden morning never came
Come kill your darlings, honey
You don’t deserve them anyway
Feed the engine
Come feed the engine
In your head
Damned be the sunlight
Inside your mind the midnight is bright
Damned be the sunlight
Inside your mind the midnight is bright

Central nervous system
Interface
Your inner sanctum
Desecrate
Carnal Insect!
Decimate
Your primal driving force
Re-animate
Door through the door
Through every seam
Hear the engine roar
Runs like a dream
Invent the answer
Insert the key
Like a necromancer
Of the seven seas
I never thought I had you
Any other way
We always have been one
Anyway
You're stardust
You travel far
With me by your side
We create a star
No rhyme or reason
To make amends your thoughts are mine
Borders to treason
To lay back down to waste your time
You built me to build you
A brighter day
You want me to want you
To point me the way
Door through the door
Through every seam
Hear the engine roar
Runs like a dream
Door through the door
Through every seam
Hear the engine roar
Runs like a dream
Invent the answer
Insert the key
Darkness and dancer
And the melody

Distract! Distrust!
Come see destruction
Divide! Defy!
Come choose your faction
Seduce! Induce!
Hypnotic traction
Subdue! Defuse!
Opposing action
Truth or a lie—it’s all about the price
We tell you what you wanna hear
Introvert! Controvert!
Opposing action
Extrovert! Disconcert!
Violent reaction
Truth or a lie—it’s all about the price
We tell you what you wanna hear
When you have failed—caught up in a lie
Facts are for sale—insert a dime
Truth or a lie—it’s all about the price
We tell you what you wanna hear
When you have failed—caught up in a lie
Facts are for sale—insert a dime

Wait for another day
Wait for another lifetime
Life's too short and all
Too late to say how you feel when your world comes crashing down
How does it feel?
To live your life in this mess?
Running circles all the while
You live in silence
You dial out
Driven by your fear
Standing in the limelight
Shut your silly mouth
Wait for your turn under your artificial sun
How does it feel?
To live your life in this mess?
Running circles all the while
You live in silence
And now
How does it feel to stay alive?
In a world ever dark
And silent
You dial out
I can't say what I wanna say
I can't think what I just thought
The whole world has gone to gutter
And I don't think that I belong
How does it feel?
To live your life in this mess?
Running circles all the while
You live in silence
And now
How does it feel to stay alive?
In a world ever dark
And silent
You dial out
You dial out
You dial out
You dial out
You dial out

In a Stranger's House
06:28
|

I'm in a stranger's house
Watching you sleep
I'm in a stranger's house
Planting the seed
The walls have eyes and ears
We'll see how do you do
How may I serve you today?
Wouldn't you want me to?
I'm in a stranger's house
Hearing you scream
I'm in a stranger's house
Watching you bleed
We've gone so far by now
What would you do without me?
Your life’s behind a lock
And you gave me the key
It's way too late
We've gone too far
There's no escape
From the noise
We observe the living
Bleeding away
Rats in their maze
Spinning in space
And I'm just here to hear you scream
How many times I've wondered if this is just a dream
I'm in a stranger's house
Taking you out
I'm in a stranger's house
Killing your doubt
The universe is vast
You got to outlast it with me
We're the mouse and the cat
We're made to make a scene
It's way too late
We've gone too far
There's no escape
From the noise
We observe the living
Bleeding away
Rats in their maze
Spinning in space
And I'm just here to hear you scream
How many times I've wondered if this is just a dream

Blue Rose Park

She came to me
When my night was very dark
Got lost down there
In the blue rose park
Raised up her hand
That white and silky skin
Would you like to walk?
We made a bond
Walk by my side carefully
We walk together
Walk right down through faithfully
It's us alone
Hold on my hand carefully
We walk together
Walk down through our century
Skin and the bone
Held her close to me
Thought I'd always be alone
I thought I wanted to
That's why I came here
I feel like I am
Falling in and out of dream
Deep down those eyes
I found myself
Walk by my side carefully
We walk together
Walk right down through faithfully
It's us alone
Hold on my hand carefully
We walk together
Walk down through our century
Skin and the bone

You're a liar and a leech
You take advantage of my needs
But you can't feel what I feel inside
It's a revolution in my heart
Tall is the lie you wave up high
With pretty smile you maim and kill
Who the fuck are you to say what's wrong or right?
Cause you're the one who makes me ill
You made your senses modulate under your will
It's just the lies that I kill
You try to hold to them—keep them still
You run around your rhyme and call yourself my friend
A human pretend
You love a lie and live to die
Do your math you psychopath
I guarantee you can't feel what I feel for you
Algorithms runs a beat—your plastic heart singing
Baby, I love you too
Through all your anger—through your hatred and your fears
A human pretend—a universe shedding tears
You run around not knowing who you really are
You're already dead
You just don't have the spine to admit it yet
You're already dead
You're already dead
Death is just a tool
A control to keep me in line
Take me for a fool?
I found peace in misery
It's what makes me feel alive
We dance around our love and sing of our war
And I love you just as you are
I bend the nature, sun and moon just for you
That much I do
I wanna feel alive just like you

Dark Goodnight
03:52
|

|
The way the wind blows out a leaf
From a hibernating tree
Sucked out of energy
So too you got to go
I got to let you leave
Bound by your nature to deceive
I saw my angel falling
Into the world of feeling
Take these cold arms
Wrap around them around your neck and breathe
I miss your smile
I miss your laugh and the way you looked at me
Cause the way the wind blows out a leaf
From an ever-mourning tree
Filled with void and grief
We can't afford to feel like this
I got to let you go
Wait for the morning down below
I saw my angel falling
Into the world of feeling
Dark thoughts in the middle of the night
I couldn't shake you off my mind
I got these dark thoughts in the middle of the night
It pains to let you leave my side
I got these dark thoughts—could I spare I little light?
I wish you dark goodnight

Dream Your Dream

Try to act like you care
Like we would be getting somewhere
Your life could be easy now
Not a worry in the world
Just lay down to your bed
And let it all fade
Well it's all so different now
But still the sun rises from the east
And sets to the west
Sets to the west
Step aside from the window pane
Mother takes good care
Just lay down your head and rest
Keep looking to the west
Keep looking to the west
Keep looking to the west
Don't care about the rest
Just keep looking to the west
Your life could be easy now
Just lay down your head and rest
Rest
You got the follow the sunlight
Go into the light
There goes the light
Into the night
