The Human Contradiction

I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I'm not in it for the fun of it but for the pain I'm not at all interested in your temporary fame I just want to see you stare As I lay my soul bare for you to crush upon with heavy feet I'm in it for the beat Stranger the faces Stranger the places They're becoming us Here come the vultures Here come the vultures Heading over us It's just a black murder of crows Across the sky The moon announces that it will soon be night The light dies down The spot goes on As loveless lips Break into song I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I'm not in it for the fun of it but for the pain I'm not at all interested in your temporary fame And the same old song we sing Here's to the ghost We still seem to host How he's becoming us Here come the vultures Here come the vultures Screaming down at us They said you can not sing the blues When you're pretty and young Let me show you a face that fits to neither one This heart is black Like blood that has dried This song is blue Like bruises bright I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But not we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I'm not in it for the fun of it but for the pain I'm not at all interested in your temporary fame And the same old song we sing Murder of crows across the sky The moon announces that it will soon be night Fog closes in And all I see All empty eyes Through silent screams I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we've come to far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I'm in it for the beat

Dreamscape in a blanket silver-gray Homesick for a memory washed away All light in our hollow eyes is stardust, stardust Once you learn there is no return to lies Heaven cried as we left the earth to die Homesick for a memory In silent sleep Eternally Bring me to life Bring me the starlight Bring me the sun and moon Release the stars tonight Far away in a distant memory There is lush, there is green there's you and me Now all blood in our hollow hearts is stardust, stardust Washed away like a face drawn in the sand At the edge of the sea is how we end Painful is the memory We did it to ourselves Awaken me Bring back my heartbeat Bring back the warmth of skin The world we were living in Bring me to life [Dreamscape, in silver-gray] Bring me starlight [Homesick, all washed away] Bring me the sun and moon Release the stars tonight

Tell me, Mechanist, it it true? Does none of it bother you? Once upon a time Upon a time behind us The mechanist inclined Clockworks of time define us Who you are, who you are; Merely springs that tick The time of things away The cry from the beat is just the noise Of a spring that you have touched Not a human: not a voice If only we could go back to the start [Tell me, mechanist, is it true?] We would see we're not that far apart [Does none of it bother you?] Realize the likeness of our hearts If we could go back to the start One and the same Likely to one another But the mechanist inclined Merely our kind can suffer Who you are, who you are Does it justify Pleasing your palate With the other's blood? Tell me why, have the writings on the wall Nor the dawn of DNA, Changed a single thing at all? If only we could go back to the start [Tell me, mechanist, is it true?] We would see we're not that far apart [Does none of it bother you?] Realize the likeness of our hearts If we could go back to the start Closing Collision: The end of our divide Savor the flavor Of our ancestry rites Closing Collision: We'll realize in time No opposition We're genetically entwined

Happy tears fade fast Sad tears tend to last You've got your blood-stained heart In your nicotine-stained hands And your twenty-nine years Did not help you pass Oh, the roadkill, cheap thrill Obstacle filled path White lies, black dress Brightest of darkness You close your tearstained eyes To your sliver lined madness After twenty-nine years You might want to confess That we have made A fucked-up place That I can not erase Sing to me White lies, black heart Tearing us apart You breathe the frost-filled air From my lungs to your lungs After twenty-nine years How much more to come? Now we have made A fucked-up place That I can not erase Sing to me Happy tears fade fast Sad tears tend to last You've got a sad, sad song And it's stuck in your aching head And your twenty-nine years Did not teach you that Changing melodies Will change your destiny at last Now, we have made A fucked-up place We're trying to erase Erase

How do you look into the mirror When you're too tired to fake a smile Your misery won't make you look thinner Reality is bitter It's your hand and yours alone that has opened The door to let their voices in Into your head, under your skin Fix your face or you will never fit in Do you want me, do you want me To burst your bubble now? Do you want me, I will break it Make it loud Do you want me, do you want me To break the paradigm These rules were made by us They break you up inside Army of dolls stole your reflection Army of dolls stole all your perfect imperfections Just shut them out, don't let them in Into our head Do you really think Misery tastes so much sweeter Served with a perfect smile Do you want me, do you want me To burst your bubble now? Do you want me, I will break it Make it loud Do you want me, do you want me To break the paradigm These rules were made by us They break you up inside Don't you look into the mirror Army of dolls made you so bitter Make-up magpul follow the leader Never have seen a face much sweeter

We are sinking this ship now By midnight hour How long can you hold your breath? To the sirens who sing to The broken hearts We are humming the same tune Goodbye my lullaby Under water reflected Flahes of life Floating up from your lungs, your lips When you decided to sail to The other side You decided to sink too Goodbye my lullaby I will miss you

Breathe on me... Breathe on me... A stranger's face that I have never seen But on photographs But on tv screens Your songs of romance ringing in my ear You are all I see You are all I hear Your eyes met mine Just one split second and I knew tonight Yes you can be my solitary man I’ll be your girl named Joy Yes I’ll be all you need and more Breathe on me, breathe on me Light my way, bring me back to life Breathe on me, breathe on me Fill me up, make me feel alive My heart is black my soul is bleeding Give me something to believe in Breathe on me Tonight Breathe on me... Breathe on me... Trying to stay cool as I’m approaching you Hitching up my skirt As I start to flirt My nervous is breathing when I’m close to you I can’t help but being Breathless over you Who needs the stars You are my only star tonight Who needs the moon When you are my loverman Until the bitter end I’ll do all I can and more And call me the wild rose...

Trying so hard to get by To be the next big thing alive But all the same Every color I see, a pale shade of grey Trying so hard and they say "You're just a signature away Just one handshake" Well here's to collars and suits And things that they say "Once more it's your chance, just take it Once more, don't be so blind For all I care you fake it It's your chance to shine" And it's all All that I dream of There's nothing I want more There's nothing I would trade it for All I dream of (My mistake if I'm not taking it) It's all I really want (All at stake if I'm not making it) There's nothing I want more My big break if I'm not braking it) There's nothing else (My problem if I can't take it) It's my problem if I can't take it Why would we change our own game These are the rules by which we play I've heard it all before "Try to make up your mind And make up your face" I don't believe in a way To skip a chapter and be great There's no such thing Where all traumas and flaws are gently erased Here's to the collars and suits And the things they say You've got bring something better to the Table to tempt me Here's to the collars and suits And the things they say Better put your money where your mouth is

This city drinks and roars Each word so meaningless Each word especially yours Echoes inside my head Well can't you see I won't let you get your way Let you get the best of me I just need to know Are you done with me? Are you done with me? And if you are won't you just let me be I try to understand your Reasons for leaving I cannot believe it This city drinks and screams This night will never end This city made of dreams My dreams have turned to sand Well can't you see I won't let you get your way Let you get the best of me I just need to know Are you done with me And if you are won't you just let me be I try to understand Your reasons for leaving I cannot believe it So are you done with me?

Such a shame to believe in escape. 'A life on every face' But that's a change, until I'm finally left with an '8'. Tell me to relax - I just stare. Maybe I don't know if I should change a feeling that we share. It's a shame (such a shame) Number me with rage It's a shame (such a shame) Number me in haste (such a shame) This eagerness to change It's a shame The dice decide my fate that's a shame (that's a shame) In these trembling hands my faith tells me to react "I don't care" Maybe it's unkind if I should change a feeling that we share. It's a shame (such a shame) Number me with rage... Such a shame (Number me with the rage) Such a shame (Write across my name) It's a shame (such a shame) Number me with rage It's a shame (such a shame) Number me in haste (such a shame) This eagerness to change Such a shame

The sun was golden flamed The air was sweet like honey The grass was soft we made a pledge to keep on running The clouds all shied away The air was warm and damp Oh on this golden day You ripped my heart away It was the dawn of May a lonely blackbird singing.. Now the same melody brings back the pain (Bring back the pain) You'll get it, regret it Take my advise (bring back the pain) You'll get it, regret is If you are wise: As long as you are getting older always look over your shoulder twice The moon was silver-lined The air was sweet like honey We've said our last goodbyes Now what are we becoming? Outside the blackbirds sing but you keep down the blinds 'cause each time you kiss her lips they'll sing my lullaby (Bring back the pain) You'll get it, regret it Take my advise (bring back the pain) You'll get it, regret is If you are wise: As long as you are getting older always look over your shoulder twice Always look twice Now it's so long ago Now we are sober and cold There's no way to return we've got to let our bridges, got to let our bridges burn Bring back the pain.....

Judgement is easy You pick a side and a comfortable lie Heavy the burden when every victim is self-defined try to understand it's harder to apologize when all committed crimes they're just in our minds How hard I try it's not enough To clear my mind it's not enough I'm the jury, I'm the judge and I committed all the crimes How hard I try It's not enough I walked away, and left you bleeding as I kicked the mud off my feet I lay on the ground and watched you leaving a heart fights for every beat try to understand it's harder to apologize when all committed crimes they're just in our minds How hard I try it's not enough To clear my mind it's not enough I'm the jury, I'm the judge and I committed all the crimes How hard I try It's not enough
