1. THEY DON'T CARE

Strange, there's comfort in lies
Ways, for you to get by
I can feel your pain
I can hear you breaking
All your hopes and fears
Are here for the taking

They need you, but they don't give a fuck about
They bleed you, but they don't give a fuck about
They feed you the lies, you want to hear it
But they don't care
They say shit, but they don't give a fuck about
They play shit, but they don't give a fuck about
They fake shit, and say they really wanna
But they don't care ( they don't care )

Fame, you follow it blind
You're shamed, if not with your kind

I can feel your pain
I can hear you breaking
All your hopes and fears
Are here for the taking,

They need you, but they don't give a fuck about
They bleed you, but they don't give a fuck about
They feed you the lies, you want to hear it
But they don't care
They say shit, but they don't give a fuck about
They play shit, but they don't give a fuck about
They fake shit, and say they really wanna
But they don't care

They need you,
They bleed you,
They feed you,

But they don't care

They say shit,
And They play shit,
They fake it,

But they don't care

And all the knowledge in the world couldn't save you from it
All your ignorance is bliss and that's the way they want it
And they will label a traitor if you speak out of turn
Ain't got no rights if you fight at the stake you will burn
The novelty of your freedom it doesn't even exist
You're just a slave to the wage, you're just a hand over fist
You ain't got nothin but bluffin, front and try to break out
You're just a pawn, and they don't give a fuck about

They need you, but not your opinion
They'll say what you want, but they don't care... At all


2. MISERY

Here I sit, all alone, in the dark
Counting the ways to tear you apart
Contemplating why you don't feel bad
I guess I wasn't the best that you had

You don't even realize I'm barely alive

Why don't you feel my pain?
Why don't you feel the same?
You should be just like me
Living in misery

As it stands, I can't stand the sight of you
But I can't look away no matter what I try to do
Smiling vicious, to hide your intentions
Unaffected by all my affections

Why don't you feel my pain?
Why don't you feel the same?
You should be just like me
Living in misery

It feels just like I'm dying inside

I gave it all and you took it away


3. NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE

The mask falls and it's all
I can do to keep from running
The past is coming
The last to hear, the first to fear
As the lights are slowly stunning
I keep on numbing

Lives pass through me
I've got one more life to live
Time eludes me
I've got nothing left to give

The wine flows, but no one knows
To come and fill my cup
There's never enough
The mind you're raping, the hole is gaping
But somehow I got stuck
And I can't give it up

Blood and starshine,
Guts and glamour.
Nothing seems to matter.


4. NORMAL ON THE OUTSIDE

I feel the weight of your stare
But you don't see what's really there
All you know is what you see
But you don't know what's inside of me

Do you really wanna know what's inside of me?

All you know is normal
All you know is where you've been
All you know is normal
You don't want to see within

Does the outside feel safe?
Is the inside too hard to face?

You don't wanna know what's inside

I am only normal on the outside
Inside I'm everything that you fear
You stare but you don't want to see me
I scream but you don't want to hear


5. LOOKING GLASS

There's a place where the garden can take you
Through the looking glass
Find a way with the plants - they can take you
To your path
Chase away all the funny pain
Down the rabbit hole
And another world awaits behind the little door

You can go ask Alice
Just why the hatter is mad

All are welcome in wonderland
‘Till the queen screams off with your head
And life will always get twisted
When you're living it through the looking glass

There's a cat that smiles like
The crescent moon
And the caterpillar that needs a light
On top of his mushroom

You can go ask Alice
Just why the hatter is mad

All are welcome in wonderland
‘Till the queen screams off with your head
And life will always get twisted
When you're living it through

Next time you see the white rabbit run free
You might not want to follow
Lose your youth ‘cause beauty is truth
It's just harder to swallow

So go ask Alice
Why the hatter is mad
She'll turn when you see her
And laugh And laugh

All are welcome in wonderland
‘Till the queen screams off with your head
And life will always get twisted
When you're living it through the looking glass

(All are welcome in wonderland)
The looking glass
(All are welcome in wonderland)
You're living your life
(All are welcome in wonderland)
‘Till the queen, she screams, off with your head

There's a place where the garden can take you
Through the looking glass


6. THE COMING

I should've recognized the signs upon my eyes
I never realized I could be so blind

But now I see it clearly
The fear behind the lies
And you're beneath it

All this time I've wasted
I didn't want to face it
All this time I'm running from this truth
That I should have seen the coming

I thought that your intentions were the same as mine
I didn't want to see you were on the other side


7. HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion

I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like the lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?

Talk to me, like lovers do
Walk with me, like lovers do
Talk to me, like lovers do
Ooh oh

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion

I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like the lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?

Talk to me, like lovers do
Walk with me, like lovers do
Talk, to me, like lovers do
Yeeeeaaah

So, talk to me, like lovers do
Walk with me, like lovers do
Talk, to me, like lovers do
Yeeeeaaah

Here it comes again
Here it comes again now
Here it comes again

Here it comes
Here it comes again

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like the lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like the lovers do and
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?


8. SILVER STAR

Born into freedom, they remind me
To go and protect it blindly
All of your life is depending
On who and what you're defending

Move in for the kill, 'til they finally get their fill

Raised to believe all the hatred
While all of the innocence faded
Trust in yourself to follow
The lies just get harder to swallow

Lay down your life
For what you are
Live the sacrifice
For a silver star

Die with the best of intentions
Led to the end by perception
All of our lives are depending
On who and what we're defending

Lay down your life
You've come this far
Sacrifice, trade your life
For a silver star


9. WASH IT ALL AWAY

I'm trying to find my way
But every direction looks the same
Unmasking all my fears
Have I been lost for all these years?

And I say baby please

Can you come down and take away all of the pain
Can you come down to ease me and wash it all away

You tremble from the cold
Is life not quite what you were told?
Dreams die and fade away
But time will bring another day

When you say baby please

I know things get hard and the skies are full of gray
But I can feel it comin' down to wash it all away

I hear you call my name
But will you hear me when I say?


10. SCORNED

I'm watching you looking
As you move in to kill
Expect me to start running
But I am standing still

Conceiving,
Believing
That you own all you have
The fashion distraction
You still can't see

Here I stand
Completely ignored
I watch you willing
To see me scorned

The darkness uncovers
All of the pain and lies
The shining is coming
From all that you deny
Now that we
Have at me
I still refuse to pass
Debating the hating
You still can't see

I don't know why you feel this way
The pain you're breeding
You sneer and turn to walk away
While I am bleeding

Confused and naked
The curtain is torn
You stand there waiting
To see me scorned

You die when I close my eyes
I can't see when you're blinding me
It's gotta get much better than this
Fits much better with a blinding fist
Get sent back when I'm under attack
Smack right down, make you feel my frown
It doesn't matter if you let me be
It doesn't matter 'cause you still can't see me


11. UNSPOKEN

I see it in your eyes
The way you feel inside
Your idea of me
Is all that I can be

You can talk your fears away
There's still something that you just won't say

And the silence is broken
But the words are unspoken

Why are you afraid?
Is that how you were made?
All that I can be
Is more than you can see

And you can't hide the truth
I can see it in you
And the silence is broken
But the words are unspoken

You don't have to say a thing
Your face says everything
There's no way to hide
All the hatred inside


12. QUIET

I want to slip into the quiet
And let the whole world pass me by

I need a break from all of existence
So I can finally rest my eyes

I'd like to slip into the quiet (just to try it)
And watch the whole world pass me by

If I should take from my own existence
If I should stop it all just for an instant
Will I finally rest inside?
Is peace so hard to find?

Don't let me slip into the quiet
Don't let the whole world pass me by


13. PUT YOUR HATE ON ME

Why do you keep your anger up?
Do you need it to survive?
Are you used to the instant remedy
That the misery provides?

I think I'm finally numb
The fate has overcome
I'll be your darkest sun
So you can put your hate upon me
Come, put your hate on me
I think I'm finally numb
So you can put your hate upon me

I watch you, all the rage you hold
As it's pulling you down
Give it to me, your sweet insanity
Release it quick before you drown

I wage the war from hate state to core
You drop from the rot, you stop to get more
The weight of your hate may make your back crack
You're under counter attack, you try to counter react
So what the fuck you think, you blink and go blind
Time after time you can't see the sign
Fuck it, all in my grill I'll kill the right wrong
But you better hit quick
Cause you're 'bout to be gone

No reason to feel bad now
I can take it
Come and put your hate down
No need to feel ashamed now
Come and put your hate upon me
No need to carry sadness
I can take it
Come and lay your hate down
No need to feel a thing now
I can take it
Come and put your hate upon me
