1. CALL ME A SYMBOL

Look at me
Don't deny me

Perfection does not exist
That's what they love to claim
These are the words of a broken man
Who'd give his life away
For the least

Would you take a look at me
Surrender, can't you see?
Don't fear to burn your eyes
With how, how perfect I can be
The sickest fantasy coming to life
Vanity is my identity
I'm overflown with self-love
To kiss my blessed feet, they are crawling near
What tramples over them? My feet

Perfection does not appear
In front of a blinded man
Perfection is what they fear
But would gladly give their life away
For this

Would you take a look at me
Surrender, can't you see?
Don't fear to burn your eyes
With how, how perfect I can be
The sickest fantasy coming to life
Vanity is my identity
I'm overflown with self-love
To kiss my blessed feet, they are crawling near
What tramples over them? My feet

If I give them holy food
They will see me as a fool
When I spit on the floor
Poor people think it is gold
It is me whom they call an idol
It is me what they fear the most
Don't deny my absolution
Let me feed my ego, let me boast, yeah

Even if I spit on the floor
A poor crowd thinks it is gold

If you were like me
Would you treat them differently?

Call me symbol, call me idol
I'm what you want the most

Don't deny me
Look at me


2. COLOSSUS

Am I the colossus
Right before his fall
Stripped of all my forces
Losing the control?
Am I the colossus
Or just acting the same role?

Oh, how much longer
Will they keep on stabbing me?
The hate mongers
Rose above and made their plea

Show your faces!
Let me see the grimaces!
Vile betrayers
Self proclaimed false witnesses

Here I am now
On my thin feet made of clay
Should I fall down?
You will be my final prey

Show your faces!
Let me see the grimaces!
Vile betrayers
Self proclaimed false witnesses

As my carcass falls
It will smash down everyone
And the tribe will howl
Yes, your tribe will be all gone

When my blood flows
Down the rivers to the seas
When my torn limbs decompose
The scattered bones will grow as seeds

A giant tree shall rise up high
Spreading its branches to all sides
Covering the sun and sky
Silencing your desperate cry

Show your faces
Let me see the grimaces
Vile betrayers
Self proclaimed false witnesses

Show your faces!
I will peel all skin from them!
So your eye balls
Stare at me full of condemn


3. VORTEX

Like a lunatic, frantic
The man in the room looks so dramatic
With a left shoe on his right foot
This spiral traffic feels too traumatic, too traumatic

Quiet
The man is wandering around
Where's the way out he never found?
And inside
There's a ball made of lead
It's rolling and rumbling on parquet

Oh how heavy is the ball!
It bends his spine to the very ground
Neither his nor another
Enormous, ludicrous

Oh how heavy is his thought!
In a half an hour or so
It crushed the floor
And smashed the man's toes

Oh how heavy is his thought!
In a half an hour or so
It crushed the floor
And smashed the man's soul

(Whirl) through the black hole in the floor
(Spin) I begin my whirl
(Swirl) I'm a driftwood with no strength
(Spin) without soul, with no will

Like a feather I travel down (a spiral staircase)
One more loop through abyss (where stairs are erased)
Like a feather I travel down (a spiral staircase)
Falling deeper than it is (all stairs are erased)

Through rapids and stones
I came like water and like wind I go
Through rapids and stones
I came like water and like wind I go

Spin! Swirl!
Whirl! Spin! Swirl!
Swirl!

Whirl! Spin! Swirl!
Whirl! Spin! Swirl!


4. DISCLOSURE!

Disclosure
You wanna stake me out
We're taking
Another round

So here I am in a chair
Not fully understanding what I'm doing here
As I see a tall man in front of me
"Well, hello, tall man
What does your job entail?"

(Yeah) I jumped out of TV
(Yeah) I'm here to spread the disease
I'll put us up on a screen
Don't you dare to disagree with me

Disclosure
You wanna stake me out
We're taking
Another round

You say you follow me but indeed
You put a tail on me
Like a snoop gets the wind of my feet
And everywhere I've been
What I do, where I go, what I say, what I don't
Get a life of your own, get a life of your own

Come on, let's play this mind game
If you really feel no goddamn shame

Such an artless performance of a crude brain
In an awkward dance
Of the brainwashed and the sane
Follow me, follow me, follow me
Don't bother me, don't bother me
Follow me, follow me, follow me
Don't bother me, don't bother me

Come on, let's play this mind game
If you really feel no goddamn shame

What a shameless theater
In front of a camera
A playful enthusiast
But he got no stamina
If knowledge is power
Then ignorance devoured you
Your mind is as shallow
As a puddle on a hot summer day

Disclosure
You wanna stake me out
We're taking
Another fucking round
Disclosure, yeah

We try to glue this world together
But you say this scorn shall live forever
You're good, them bad
Since when to hate a man is a fate of a saint?
Is a fate of a saint, is a fate of a saint
Is a fate of a saint, is a fate of a saint


5. COPYCAT

Breaking into my mind
Why are you here tonight?
You wanna steal my life
That's why you are here tonight?
You make me cry, you make me scream
You make me crawl under the bed
To set up a trap and I wonder
How long I should hide
Will you leave me alone tonight?

Bursting in without knocking
Carrying a sack like you are looking for something
I am sure you're here not to give me presents
What are you looking for?
Is it my stack of gold?
You are stealing forms but you forgot the essence

Copycat
Have me met?
Did you steal this head?
Then you saw those eyes
So you stole them twice

A greedy mimic
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Something to imitate, then get all the credits
Where's your id and why you think it's here?
It's like I buy the same old shit
Under a new label
It's like I use the same old crap
But now it's all rebranded

Breaking into my mind
Why are you here tonight?
You wanna steal my life
That's why you are here tonight?
You make me cry, you make me scream
You make me crawl under the bed
To set up a trap and I wonder
How long I should hide
Will you leave me alone tonight?

Starting from today
I lock my treasury
This is my design
My mind is also mine

Drink from someone else's glass
No, no it's not a crime
But when you kill authenticity
The art is vandalized
The art is vandalized
Vandalized, vandalized

Bring it
Bring it

What are you afraid of?
To lose a stranger's love?
To unveil true intentions
And this pretentiousness


6. PEARLS AND SWINE

Casting pearls before swine
Many tried, many died
Swine are unable to apprehend
Burstings of a human heart

There is no teacher in this world
Who would dare to teach a piglet
How one can smartly use a word
To express its feelings

Casting pearls before swine
Is such a thankless job
Swine are not used to jewel
Bedraggled dress with pearls

There is no teacher in this world
Who would dare to teach a piglet
How one can smartly use a word
To express its feelings

So throw a piece of soap at them
To make this age-long dirt come off
They'll try to force their fresh clean snoot
Through a crowd to a crib

With all your kind gentle heart
You came to people full of mud
You came to those who are not like you
Promising to love them too
To love them too

As a reply, warfare and mockery
Slights and tears in return
Behind your back they shoot with menace
And aim to kill your noble soul

Bad people, it's a truth
When sensing you're a man of virtues
They boil inside with hate
Endowing you with top-rate curses

The vicious fights, fights the righteous
The low-life can't admit his fault
Can you explain why you are bothered
With scum and coward's thoughts?

Don't open up to everyone
Don't bloom for every stranger
Inviting them to touch your mind
Make sure you smell no danger

Casting pearls before swine
Is such a thankless job
Let's cast invisible grenades
Of mindfulness instead
Persuade


7. SLEEP OF THE RIGHTEOUS

The rush of fear to even sleep
With just a thread of hope I have
What if I simply let it in
Or clench my jaws and take the blow?

As I lay I slowly fade away
Into a place of inevitability

And why is it happening to me?
I'm full of life but I can't breathe

It appears from the darkness
My body burns in its presence
As I softly sink into the dream
The door has opened, I can't resist

A candle placed upon a bedroom table
The storm outside defies to stop
The room grows colder in its presence
I'm not your fire, let me burn!
Let me burn!

I see its shadow, the blackest black
The widest grin from ear to ear
I see its tail like a snake
I feel two palms upon my back

Visions spark before my eyes
Like a forest flame
I am ready to confess in every crime
I never did

And why is it happening to me?
I'm full of life but I cannot breathe

Scream and shout, don't want to sound
My body lost its structure
I swear I'll start to believe in god
If he could give me rapture!

The lifelong terror, half-time dream
Eternal minutes feel surreal
I plead my savior to release me
The savior I call will

What has just happened to me?
I was dragged to hell, but now I'm free!


8. WALLFLOWER

Stay in, stay in
You can be alone
Stay in, stay in
You can feel like home
Breathe in, it's a place
Where you belong
Where no one, no one
No one does you wrong

Your capsule is your fortress
Where you can lick your wounds
You are people avoiding people
And fall in love with solitude

They won't find me in my shell
The chances go to zero
I'm a guest in my own skin
I take it off and be myself

The outside is hostile
And the waves hit me hard
So I climb into my shell
To lick my wounds again

Silent and satisfied
Misunderstood and proud
Biting on my tongue
In fear of saying something wrong
My circle of old friends
Is getting empty, getting empty
Getting empty emptier
And I don't really wish for
Really wish for new ones

I gotta go home
My batteries are low
This life is a lock down
I gotta go home
My batteries are low
That's what it's all about

I never asked to be here
I hated that from the beginning
Turning molehills into mountains
I feel the pressure building

Should I just go on
Or jump over the wall
And say hello to the sick, sick world?

I gotta go home
My batteries are low
This life is a lock down
I gotta go home
My batteries are low
That's what it's all about

This life is a lock down
That's what it's all about


9. DEAD HANDS FEEL NO PAIN

Happy morning
I woke up to a crow's song
They are croaking
To abusive music
Happy mourning
I woke up to all my problems solved
And dissolved
In a swamp of the past years
So I learnt to transform
This sweetest lethargy

Gripping onto
The reality of
Facing a thousand
As they circle above

The strings of my soul
Got loose too soon
'Cause the reins of my heart
Were too tight all the time
Were too tight all the time

Here I am sitting on the edge
Of a cold fence
The same fence
I left you all behind

An intricate weaving of a barrier
Separating death from life

Dead hands feel no pain
Blackened hearts, early graves
A reflection of the sky
Through the mirrors of the eyes

I can hear them coming down
A familiar sound
It won't be long
It won't be long
Before they tear me apart
As they circle above
Crashing down like black rain
Dead hands feel no pain

Gripping onto
The reality of
Facing a thousand
As they circle above

The strings of my soul
Got loose too soon
'Cause the reins of my heart
Were too tight all the time
Were too damn tight all the time

It is my time to fill the niche
It is my time to serve
What a nice day to fall into a ditch
And be a feast for crows
And be a feast for crows


10. AS I BOIL ICE

What does a man have to do
To get a piece of you?
What does a man have to become
To make it through?
What does a man have to do
To get a piece of you?
What does a man have to become
To make it through?

The rest enjoy hot bath
And I boil ice
They fly with the wind
As I put a dead horse to the cart, oh god

Others meditate
And I promote calamity
Watch me disintegrate
Disintegrate so rapidly
Others meditate
And i promote calamity
Watch me disintegrate
Disintegrate so rapidly

For the millionth time I got
Something to complain about
Where is my zest, interest?

You gave me wrong address
Whom do I address all my complaints?

What kind of mood were you in
When you clapped me together
Accidentally
Sick and fatigue
Uninspired, half asleep?

Then threw me in a box
Sent me to the earth
The manual is lost
Somewhere in the post

And I am missing few details
You can't name them all
So I do what I do best
I wallpaper when there is no wall

I can't think positive
Everything around screams impossible
As I boil ice
As everything is versa vice

What is happiness?
What is inner peace?
What does a man have to do
To get a piece of you
Every piece of you?
A piece of you
Every piece of you


11. MEDIATOR

Stop! Go! Go on!

My wish would be
To see this sun shining
To hear these birds singing
Children laughing, hearts recovering

My dream has always been
Life has always seemed
To be an amusement park
Rather colourful than dark

I wanted a loser to win
The thin never starving
The full not keeping it down
And needing nothing from no one

I wanted the poor to live in abundance
I wanted the rich to have someone
Except for himself
To love and take care of

I wanted a loser to win
The thin never starving
The full not keeping it down
And needing nothing from now on

Fires burning all around us
And all we feel is cold

I want a neighbour not a hater
And a head to go round
From white white snow
But what to do now?

Wish I could catch god by the beard
And drag him to the dirty streets
To show him what was going on
The kind of curse we've waged upon

We're half way through to freedom
The path is treacherous
The best way to make a kettle boil
Is to turn your back on this

You've stranded me with no decree
No lessons given, only learned
Cold blood is coursing through my veins
Cause ice will never burn

What is happiness?
What is inner peace?
What do we have to do
To get a piece of you?
