You don't know How you make me feel betrayed, down, low Well it's another day in Treacherytown Another tragic fall from a pedestal I should have never put you up there in the first place I should have known better, I should have realized Despite everything you put in your songs The big, big slogans were big, big lies That on stage the lights shine brighter Than in the audience where there is no make-up To hide the scars and bruises that you've left Where they recover from being close to you Apologies will never be enough But you could've started there, I got so many questions : Was it just a character? Did you think it would sell better? Or did you honestly believe in all of it And you just lied to yourself among everyone else? You don't know How you make me feel betrayed, down, low Well it's another hero six feet under Another dismay I will get over You were my role model Parts of the reasons I'm me, I find it sickening I fell for it for the last time Men of influence they abuse it Power is cursed and corrupts everyone You should have said : 'Do as I say not as I do' You don't know How you make me feel betrayed, down, low

The Vision 02:48
You had a vision, it was more like a nightmare Some explosions, the sky was black the Earth was dead On television they said you shouldn't breathe the air Nuclear wisdom, water and fire united as one And in this vision there's no more plants, no animals Fear of extinction, the rich were feeding on the poor Those divisions they still exist in the apocalypse Nuclear wisdom, water and fire united as one Close combat for survival, it's a close combat you'd better come out ahead Close combat for survival, it's a close combat you'd better not be beaten Close combat for survival, which side are you on? In my visions, united we stand and there's no place For divisions, we all get to win, there is no loser We got a mission : never let the world be blinded by hate Nuclear wisdom, water and fire we're united as one Close combat for survival, it's a close combat you'd better come out ahead Close combat for survival, it's a close combat you'd better not be beaten Close combat for survival, which side are you on?

There's nowhere to go, nowhere to hide No there's nowhere to go, you can run but you can't hide It's like a burn on your lips that hurts everytime you speak A small wound in your mouth, you can't help but lick it You try to wipe your tears with dirt on your hands You try to run from it with a twisted ankle Try to run but you fall, try to float but you drown, breathe but you choke You try to knock it out with broken fingers There's nowhere to go, nowhere to hide No there's nowhere to go, you can run but you can't hide It's like a scab on your knees that cracks everytime you move A small itch on your head, you can't help but scratch it You try to aim at it with eyes that don't see You try to bite it off with your blunt teeth Try to run but you fall, try to float but you drown, breathe but you choke You spread your wings to fly but the wax has melted There's nowhere to go, nowhere to hide No there's nowhere to go, you can run but you can't hide Nowhere to go

They're feeling nauseous as they watch you passing by It's not the first time, it won't be the last They scream and sneer how much they hate 'your kind' But you don't care, you keep your chin up high and the song in your head it goes Lalala... There is anger in their eyes but there is thunder in your heart You keep your chin up high and the song in your head it goes Lalala... They're feeling anxious as they cannot make you hurt You're far too fierce for that, far too sharp for that They dread and fear, you won't surrender No you don't care, you keep your chin up high and the song in your head it goes Lalala...

Wind blowing, we're floating around Cats hissing, scared of their own growl Suffocating under our white sheet Our chains rattling, loneliness echoing Lost memories, long gone feelings Sun reflecting on translucent skin Stuck in limbo, en eternal loop There is no more end or beginning We are the ghosts without purpose Haunting our own lives We are the ghouls without game Hunting for our own flesh
6.
You are the flame to my candle, you're the echo to my orientation You are the wind to my murder, you are the heart on my sleeve And they can't stop us, no they won't break us Not even love will tear us apart Without you there's no way I can be me, I can breathe Without you there's no way I can feel free, I can bleed You are the salt to my tears, you're the circle to my pentacle You are the blade to my wrist, you are the nails to my glitter And they can't stop us, no they won't break us Not even love will tear us apart Without you there's no way I can be me, I can breathe Without you there's no way I can feel free, I can bleed And they can't stop us, no they won't break us Not even love will tear us apart If there's a forever then we're forever Not even love will tear us apart

Broken vows, broken promises : we swore we’d never change Secrets and lies to ourselves, we crushed all our mirrors Years go by like months in the past and days go by like hours of sleep Fast and blank, without dreams, we wake up exhausted We want to be infinite, limitless We want eternal youth, bury the truth The level is low in the fountain of youth, we’ve drunk all we could Not so bold, not anymore, or even more so? Years go by like months in the past and days go by like hours of sleep Fast and blank, without dreams, we wake up exhausted We want to be infinite, limitless We want eternal youth, bury the truth We are all gonna die

You've been dreaming of me, living in a fantasy for years now You've been expecting me to make you feel safe When all I do is make you cry and cry and cry I can make you sad forever I will make you sad forever and after I'm no prince charming, have I tried my best? For real now You tried to trust me as I betrayed you And all I do is make you cry and cry and cry I can make you sad forever I will make you sad forever and after There's no point living like this and we've both known it for years now I feel like a clown with my make-up running As all I do is make me cry and cry and cry Have a good look at yourself, have a good laugh at yourself today Had a good look at myself, had a good laugh at myself today If mirrors could speak, what would they tell you? Who's the bigger fool, me or you? I can make you sad, I can, I can and I will I can make you sad forever I will make you sad forever and after And after...

The day I die will you be there? Will you hold my hand and behold my end? As I shut my eyes for the very last time And as I breathe out and slowly drift away The day I die The day that I die will you console me? Will you lie to me and please, please tell me How you cannot wait to join me And how you cannot breathe without me? The day I die Will I pass away on a freezing Winter evening Or on a warm Summer morning? Will I draw my last breath in the comfort of my home Or will I starve among the rats? Who will mourn and for how long? Who will believe that I was long gone? I'm not ready for the darkest night The stench of death it follows me like a shadow It's everywhere and nowhere, it's everywhere My skin is ablaze my eyes are gone from the fire Of a thousand burning suns
