Les paroles

1. DIRTY

I'm no stranger to this thing called war
Just a person starving
(Stranger, stranger)
What makes us human
Becomes a ghost
I can barely breathe in
(All I see is war)

I never knew what you needed
I just know I'm wrong
I know it's hard for you to believe
I'm gonna die whole
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)

I'm just a passenger you've never seen before
Inside a shell that's dying
(Fading hatred)
What makes us do this?
We can't ignore
I can almost taste it
(All I see is war)

I never knew what you needed
I just know I'm wrong
I know it's hard for you to believe
I'm gonna die (I'm gonna die) whole
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)

I never knew what you needed
I just know I'm wrong
I know it's hard for you to believe
I'm gonna die whole
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)


2. GOD BITES HIS TONGUE

Face down, feeding into you, find the weakness
Holding it down till we kill it
Every once in awhile, I get caught in the silver lining

No one ever lives it
(What's the meaning? What's the meaning?)
Somewhere, we all lost the spirit
(Lost it all)

So save us, just so we know
That the bitter taste, we need it
And we forgive ourselves and leave it all

I want it now
Choke it all down till we're speechless
Keep holding your breath till I need it
Every once in a while we all want that silver lining

No one ever lives it
(What's the meaning? What's the meaning?)
Somehow I know I'm not alone

So save us, just so we know
That the bitter taste, we need it
And we forgive ourselves and leave it all
In the space that's between right and wrong
The better days deceived us
And we let ourselves believe it all
And god just bites his tongue
(God just bites his tongue)

We chase the seconds away
Like the wind and the rain
(I always loved the storm)
We pray to see better days
(Please God be willing)

So save us, just so we know
That the bitter taste, we need it
And we forgive ourselves and leave it all
Beneath it all, between the right and wrong
The better days deceived us
And we let ourselves believe it all
And god just bites his tongue


3. MEDICATED

It takes time to blow
Say it ain't so
Stuck in the middle of it
Two words to know
Oh here we go
We grow so used to it

Soon among the time
How had we become so empty

It's over-complicated
And we're all to blame
Over-saturated
Such a shame

It's all who you know
Got time to tell
We all fall victim to it
A chemical
Why have we gone
Oh we're just used to it

Soon among the time
How had we become so empty

It's over-complicated
And we're all to blame
Over-saturated
It's such a shame
When we can not feel
How can we heal at all
If we're over-medicated
Then we're all to blame

Here we are
once again
How'd we get here
Will it end

Look at you lost with separation
Complicated
There's no one left to blame
You're just a shell of a man left wasted
Medicated
I'm standing on the outside looking in

It's over-complicated
And we're all to blame
Over-saturated
It's such a shame
When we can not feel
How can we heal at all
If we're over-medicated
Then we're all to blame


4. UNFORGIVEN

(Why?) What's inside of the beast
Tell me now what you need
To start your own execution
(Execute) If I'm battered and torn
Strip it down to the core
Try to fight the redemption

(What's in me) We scream every single word
Begging for some retribution
(To me) You only feed on the weak
If it was all meant to be
Is that the only condition?

I pray it turns around...

Something to believe
That pulls us to our knees
When all is lost, we find our will
To let it go
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe you're...
Unforgiven

(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Wake up [?])

(Shot) From the day that you're born
All you hear is the scorn
From your own institution
(Wipe) Wipe the dirt off your teeth
And try to say what you mean
To start your own revolution

(What's in me) We scream never to be heard
Cutting off the one solution
(To me) You only bring the disease
And strip away what you need
And hope that god will forgive us

I pray he comes around...

Something to believe
That pulls us to our knees
When all is lost, we find the will
To live and let it go
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe you're...
Unforgiven

(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it

Sacrilegious
Do you believe?
(Do you believe?)
Watch the pieces
(Ready to fall)
(Ready to fall)
Oh!

Hold us down, no one wins holy wars (Do you believe?)
Just tell me now, I need to know (I need to know)

So please, pull us to our knees

When all is lost, we find the will
To live and let it go
If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe

(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it
(Why?) Just admit it

If it's comfort that you need
Try and just believe you're...

(Why?) I pray it turns around
(Why?) I pray it turns around
I pray it turns around
I pray it turns around


5. SICKNESS

I'm cutting away my skin
I'm washing away the blood
I find the answer
I find the answer
Washing it all away
No need to hide a thing
It's over after
It's over after

You're twisted
Hide the knife that's beside you

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
You've got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

Sick of the world again
Kick in the door
That never seems to open
It's always broken
Laughing until the end
I'm finding a way to kill
The ever after, the ever after

You're twisted
Hide the knife that's beside you now

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
You've got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

(Sickness!)

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
You've got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
Got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me


6. CHEERS

So kill me now
All the times we bled, all the ones we left too long
What's done is done
There's a price we paid, and a time we die alone

I want something better than nothing
Something's better than nothing

Hold on, the first one to let go
Where's the burden that breaks us all?
So breathe in for the ones we lost
We hold our own, we hold our own

So here we are
From the darkest days, to the comfort of the sun
The silver tongues
All the lies we tell ourselves, in the end we're wrong

I want something better than nothing
Something's better than nothing

Hold on, the first one to let go
Where's the burden that breaks us all?
So breathe in for the ones we lost
We hold our own, we hold our own

Hold on, the first one to let go
Where's the burden that breaks us all?
So breathe in for the ones we lost
We hold our own, we hold our own

Such a long way home
And you're not gonna take me
And if all hope's gone
I'll carry the burden home

Hold on, the first one to let go
Where's the burden that breaks us all?
So breathe in for the ones we lost
We hold our own, we hold our own

Hold on, the first one to let go
Where's the burden that breaks us all?
So breathe in for the ones we lost
We hold our own, we hold our own


7. RISEN

Turn round, come down
Been stealing, feeling from me
Burned down, no sound
Been killing the life within me
Step down, last round
Live hating, loving memory
Break down, we drown

To turn around is everything
It all comes down to what it takes to love

If I fall would you pick me up?
Or kick me down again?
(Would you stand there with me)
If I tell you my deepest thoughts
Would you hear me out?
And help me rise again?

Not long, so gone
We shame your useless pity
You failed us all
Keep spewing the shit you tell me
Fall down so proud
Love hating, living memory
Erase you now

To turn around is everything
It all comes down to what it takes to love

If I fall would you pick me up?
Or kick me down again?
(Would you stand there with me)
If I tell you my deepest thoughts
Would you hear me out?
And help me rise again?

If I fall would you pick me up?
Or kick me down again?
(Would you stand there with me)
If I tell you my deepest thoughts
Would you hear me out?
And help me rise again?

If I fall would you pick me up?
Or kick me down again?
(Would you stand there with me)
If I tell you my deepest thoughts
Would you hear me out?
And help me rise again?


8. MOMENTS

Hold on
Just long enough to watch the pages turn
You wanted something to see here
You wanted something that nobody loves
And none of us get enough

There's something dying to live
And nothing left here to think about
Destroy the feeling

Our moment is here and well you can't stop us now
Rediscover and shed the skin that's holding us down

It's done
You paid the price for all the ones you burn
Now there's only you and me here
We wanted someone that nobody loves
And we finally had enough

There's something dying to live
And nothing left here to think about
Destroy the feeling

Our moment is here and well you can't stop us now
Rediscover and shed the skin that's holding us down
The blood opens eyes, opens minds set for war
The moment that we start building walls

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Our moment is here and well you can't stop us now
Rediscover and shed the skin that's holding us down
The blood opens eyes, opens minds set for war
The words tear you down and we keep building walls


9. NOT ORIGINAL

I sorta like deceiving
And all this tragic loss
I wanna find some patience
But kill the feelings off
I wanna drown in praise
But never really deliver
I wanna feel insane, insane

So long to go, you know

No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore

Do I start it over
Before I self-destruct?
What's the perfect way to say I'm lost? I just give up
Yeah, I wanna try and change (I wanna try and change)
The vanity in the mirror
I know you feel the same, insane

So long to go, you know

No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore

I'm not original anymore

One by one, they fall
Use your words for war
Chasing open doors
For what it's worth

No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore


10. DESCEND

We've seen the miles
We drank the moon
We choose the sides
And judge the fools

What's the matter, did the silence find you?
How's it to feel to see the one thing you don't need?
Come around, come around this way

I won't defend, you won't surrender
How long do we go?
A long lost descent, we do it together
How long do we go?
You lead and we'll follow

We're safe and sound
Spoke up way too soon
We can all just close our eyes
And pray to god, we all pull through

What's the matter, did the lights just blind you?
How's it to feel to see the one thing we all need?
Come around, come around this way

I won't defend, you won't surrender
How long do we go?
A long lost descent, we do it together
How long do we go?
You lead and we'll follow

Surrender and follow
How does it feel to change?
In the darkest of days, we all fall down
One more mistake
The changes seem to fade

I won't defend, you won't surrender
How long do we go?
A long lost descent, we do it together
How long do we go?
You lead and we will follow

I won't defend, you won't surrender
How long do we go?
A long lost descent, we do it together
How long do we go?
You lead and we'll follow
We'll follow


11. Life Deceives You

I found the whole thing out
As I was on my way
So much pain to please you
If we could work it out
I know I'd be alone
There's no time left to please you

(Shame) As I was coming undone
When will time release you?
(No) I just can't do it alone
So much life deceives you

You knew forever burned
Into my sanity
Now it's hard to please you
If we could fall apart
You know we'd die alone
There's no time left to please you

(Shame) As I was coming undone
When will time release you?
(No) I just can't do it alone
So much life deceives you

You are the only one
The only one that you don't know
Yes you're the only one
The only one that you don't love, love

I'm so far gone
It's over now
Took everything
Till you're not there

I'm so far gone
It's over now
Took everything
Till you're not there

(Shame) As I was coming undone
When will time release you?
(No) I just can't do it alone
So much life deceives you

(Shame) As I was coming undone
When will time release you?
(No) I just can't do it alone
So much life deceives you


12. THE TRUTH

No more time for saving
What the hell did you give?
What the hell did you do?
Just more numb to waste it
You will mean nothing
You will be nothing
One more tragic instant...

Lost!
Right underneath
While you dream
We stay asleep now

Why does it always seem to rain when I wanna see sunshine?
How come you never wanna play the game?
Why does it always seem to fade when I wanna be defined?
How come you never try to say my name?

One more time for raging
What the hell did you give?
What the hell did you do?
Won't be long to hating
You will mean nothing
You will be nothing
Your last tragic instant...

Lost!
Right underneath
While you dream
We stay asleep now

Why does it always seem to rain when I wanna see sunshine?
How come you never wanna play the game?
Why does it always seem to fade when I wanna be defined?
How come you never try to say my name?

Say my name!
Say my name!
Say my name!
Say my name!

Lost!
Right underneath
While you dream
We stay asleep

Why does it always seem to rain when I wanna see sunshine?
How come you never wanna play the game?
Why does it always seem to fade when I wanna be defined?
How come you never try to say my name?
