Men of Influence

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?

Nowhere to Go
04:29
|
|||
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

Your Kind (La La La)
04:12
|
|||
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...

Without Purpose
02:51
|
|||
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

We Are Forever
03:25
|
|||
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

Eternal Youth
04:47
|
|||
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

If Mirrors Could Speak
04:19
|
|||
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...

A Thousand Burning Suns
06:03
|
|||
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
