It is to see a traitor go free, it is to feel a filter in me. It is to leave the lights that I saw, it is to ask is it easy to go? In this dead hour here with you seconds are worthless. In this dead hour when all is blank minutes are worthless. How long will it take until there will be room again for hope? It is so sad to see dispossession, it has become my obsession. It is to have a knife in my back, it is to say my soul got a crack. In this dead hour here with you seconds are worthless. In this dead hour when all is blank minutes are worthless.

The walls are painted different every second. My eyes are of chrome, it is television. Can't let go of my leg, it's itching and bleeding. Layer by layer I'm peeling away! Away... Burn down my house and make something happen, stab me in the heart and make a thing stop. Because I am so distracted, I am slightly shocked by how things can keep going like a dead man's clock. A mirror is hanging kinda loose on my wall, I'm passing it sideways, I'm saying hello. My brother is half-ways through a book I've left him, called me today to see what I'd say. Say... Burn down my house and make something happen, stab me in the heart and make a thing stop. Because I am so distracted, I am slightly shocked by how things can keep going like a dead man's clock.

We had you down on your knees, we were kicking you in the head. We tried to hang you from the trees, we didn't stop until you were dead. We must bury you... We must bury you so deep that no one should find you. Forgive me for covering my eyes, forgive me for not saving you. Forgive me for being so unwise, forgive me for letting this be true. We must bury you... We must bury you so deep that no one should find you.

I can't say that I am free as long as they return. If I had a way out of here would I then return? They seldom will speak, no, they only breathe slow. Do they know that I’m afraid, so afraid? They depend on my worries, so I know. I'm awake, I'm right in the circle now. I am with them! There is no way I am going to be free because their hearts, they are similar to mine. There is no way they are going to release me from this chain of rows unto our own hearts. I can't say that I regret my promises. I can't say that I regret, behaving like my enemies. I seldom will speak, no, I only breathe, ghost. Do they know that I’m afraid, so afraid? They depend on my worries, so I know. I'm awake, I'm right in the circle now. I am with them! There is no way I am going to be free because their hearts, they are similar to mine. There is no way they are going to release me from this chain of rows unto our own hearts.
My prospects have become less promising, I find it hard to believe in anything. Seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith, and I can’t go back to where I’ve been. A brand new day, it can’t get worse. I have no lies or truth in what I say, there is no meaning. The words are numb and I am so afraid, there is no meaning. This is another chance or so I’m told by those who can push themselves at any cost. They bless me with their fingers crossed, my youth is stolen, transformed and sold. Hear myself say "it can’t get worse". I have no lies or truth in what I say, there is no meaning. The words are numb and I am so afraid, there is no meaning. I have no lies or truth in what I say, there is no meaning. The words are numb and I am so afraid, there is no meaning. A brand new day, it can’t get worse. Hear myself say "it can’t get worse". A brand new day, it can’t get worse. Hear myself say "it can’t get worse". I have no lies or truth in what I say, there is no meaning. The words are numb and I am so afraid, there is no meaning.

She’s got black hair and she has got a black dress, she’s pretending that her life is a mess. But I cannot rest with so many worries, I can’t lie down and say I am done. I live because I need more light, I hope I can change today. She would never think of changing, Too much fucking emo. It’s false, I know! She’s got black hair and she has got a black dress, she’s pretending that her life is a mess. She stops me in the street and asks me to follow. I would if I could, if I wouldn’t mind breaking her. But I cannot rest with so many worries, I can’t lie down and say I am done. I live because I need more light, I hope I can change today. She would never think of changing, Too much fucking emo. It’s false, I know!

Oh my sweet nurse pull the curtain aside for a while, so that I can for once have the sun in my eye. You smile and say "it’s a fine day". Oh my sweet nurse pull the curtain aside for a while Then like a ghost at night, you come around all dressed in white, talking to me. And so I have to drink the water with your poison spilled for no more will. Oh my sweet nurse seems you have so little time, that you rather put me to sleep than sit by my side. Then like a ghost at night, you come around all dressed in white, talking to me. And so I have to drink the water with your poison spilled for no more will.

I have been destroyed by the perfection that is life. See I’m moving soon, see my feet are already on the road. And if you know where I’m going, don’t tell a soul. I live all for this thing that I heard someone sing. When you have no one no one can hurt you. It was so easy to see how fucking good it all could be. And if you know where I’m going, don’t tell a soul. I live all for this thing that I heard someone sing. When you have no one no one can hurt you.
