So impressed with all you do Tried so hard to be like you Flew too high and burnt the wing Lost my faith in everything Lick around divine debris Taste the wealth of hate in me Shedding skin, succumb defeat This machine is obsolete Made the choice to go away Drink the fountain of decay Tear a hole, exquisite red Fuck the rest and stab it dead Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poisoned to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poisoned to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore In the back, off the side, and far away Is a place where I hide, where I stay Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to All alone by myself, where were you? How could I ever think, it's funny how Everything that swore it wouldn't change is different now Just like you would always say, we'll make it through Then my head fell apart and where were you? How could I ever think, it's funny how Everything you swore would never change is different now Like you said, you and me make it through Didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you?

I'd listen to the words he'd say But in his voice I heard decay The plastic face forced to portray All the insides left cold and gray There is a place that still remains It eats the fear, it eats the pain The sweetest price he'll have to pay The day the whole world went away Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na

Just a reflection Just a glimpse Just a little reminder Of all the what abouts (What abouts) And all the might have, c-c-could have beens Another day (Another day) Some other way (Other way) But not another reason to continue (Continue) And now you're one of us (One of us) The wretched (The wretched, the wretched) The hopes and prays The better days The far aways Forget it (Forget it, forget it) It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it? It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it? Now you know This is what it feels like Now you know This is what it feels like The clouds will part And the sky cracks open And God himself will reach His fucking arm through Just to push you down, just to hold you down, down Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss And it's hard to believe it could come down to this Back at the beginning (-ginning) Sinking, spinning And in the end We still pretend The time we spend Not knowing when You're finally free And you could be But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it Now you know This is what it feels like Now you know This is what it feels like Now you know (Now you know) This is what it feels like (This is what it feels like) Now you know (Now you know) This is what it feels like (You can try to stop it, but it keeps on coming) (You can try to stop it, but i—)

She shines in a world full of ugliness She matters when everything is meaningless Fragile, she doesn't see her beauty She tries to get away Sometimes it's just that nothing seems worth saving I can't watch her slip away I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by Hoping someone can see If I could fix myself I'd— But it's too late for me I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side But they keep waiting...and picking... ...and picking...and picking... ...and picking...and picking... ...and picking...and picking... ...and picking...and picking... It's something I have to do (I won't let you fall apart) I was there, too (I won't let you fall apart) Before everything else (I won't let you fall apart) I was like you (I won't let you fall apart)

I woke up today To find myself in the other place With a trail of my footprints From where I ran away Seems everything I've heard just might be true And you know me, well you think you do Sometimes, I have everything Yet I wish I felt something Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become? When I think I can overcome It runs even deeper And in a dream I'm a different me With a perfect you, we fit perfectly And for once in my life, I feel complete And I still want to ruin it Afraid to look, as clear as day This plan has long been underway I hear them call, I cannot stay The voice inviting me away Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become? When I think I can overcome It runs even deeper Everything that matters is gone All the hands of hope have withdrawn Could you try to help me hang on? It runs… I'm straight I won't crack On my way And I can't turn back I'm okay I'm on track On my way And I can't turn back I stayed On this track Gone too far And I can't come back I stayed On this track Lost my way Can't come back I stayed On this track Gone too far And I can't come back I stayed On this track Lost my way And I can't come back I stayed On this track Gone too far And I can't come back I stayed On this track Lost my way Can't come back

Smiling in their faces While filling up the hole So many dirty little places In your filthy little, worn out, broken down, see-through soul Baby's got a problem Tries so hard to hide Got to keep it on the surface Because everything else is dead on the other side Teeth in the necks of everyone you know You can keep on sucking 'til the blood won't flow When it starts to hurt, it only helps it grow Taking all you need (But not this time) No, you don't And just for the record Just so you know I did not believe That you could sink so low You think that you can beat them I know that you won't You think you have everything But no, you don't No, you don't No, you don't No, you don't No, you don't No, you don't No, you don't No, you don't No, you don't

Et quand le jour arrivé Map touné le ciel Et map touné la mer Et la mer va embrassé moi Et délivré moi lakay An rien peut arrêter moi konin la (An rien peut arrêter moi konin la) (An rien peut arrêter moi konin la) (An rien peut arrêter moi konin la) Et quand le jour arrivé Je retournerai au ciel Et je retournerai à la mer Et la mer va m'embrasser Et me délivrer chez moi Rien ne peut m'arrêter maintenant (Rien ne peut m'arrêter maintenant) (Rien ne peut m'arrêter maintenant) (Rien ne peut m'arrêter maintenant) And when the day arrives I'll become the sky And I'll become the sea And the sea will come to kiss me For I am going home Nothing can stop me now (Nothing can stop me now) (Nothing can stop me now) (Nothing can stop me now)

Staring at the sea Will she come? Is there hope for me After all is said and done? Anything at any price All of this for you All the spoils of a wasted life All of this for you All the world has closed her eyes Tired faith, all worn and thin For all we could have done And all that could have been Ocean pulls me close And whispers in my ear The destiny I've chose All becoming clear The currents have their say The time is drawing near Washes me away Makes me disappear And I descend from grace In arms of undertow I will take my place In the great below I can still feel you Even so far away I can still feel you Even so far away I can still feel you Even so far away I can still feel you Even so far away Even so far away Even so far away Even so far away So far away...

Did you happen to catch or did it happen so fast What you thought would always last has passed you by Is everything speeding up, or am I slowing down I'm just spinning around and I don't know why All the pieces don't fit, thought I really didn't give a shit I never wanted to be like you But for all I aspire, I am really a liar And I'm running out of things I can do I'd like to stay, but every day Everything pushes me farther away If you could show, help me to know How it's supposed to be, where did it go? (Go, go, go...) Pleading And needing And bleeding And breeding Feeding Exceeding Where is everybody? Trying And lying Defying Denying Crying And dying Where is everybody? Well, okay, enough, you've had your fun But come on, there has got to be someone That hasn't yet become so numb And succumb and god-damn, I am so tired of Pretending of wishing I was ending When all I'm really doing is trying to hide And keep it inside and fill it with lies Open my eyes, maybe I wish I could try Pleading And needing And bleeding And breeding Feeding Exceeding Where is everybody? Trying And lying Defying Denying Crying And dying Where is everybody? Pleading And needing And bleeding (Oh-oh) And breeding Feeding Exceeding Where is everybody? Trying And lying Defying Denying Crying And dying Where is everybody?

This is how It begins Push it away but it all comes back again All the flesh All the sin There was a time when it used to mean just about everything Just like now Just like now Breathe, echoing the sound Time starts slowing down Sink until I drown Please, I don't ever want to make it stop And it keeps repeating Will you please complete me? Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Watch the white (Never be enough to fill me up) Turn to red (Never be enough to fill me up) It fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead (Never be enough to fill me up) All my life Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead (Well guess what?) The world is over and I realize it was all in my head Now everything is clear I erase the fear I can disappear Please, I don't ever want to make it stop You can never leave me Will you please complete me Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up Never be enough, to fill me up

As black as the night can get Everything is safer now There's always a way to forget Once you learn to find a way how In the blur of serenity Where did everything get lost? The flowers of naivete Buried in a layer of frost The smell of sunshine I remember sometimes Thought he had it all before they called his bluff Found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough Wanted to go back to how it was before Thought he lost everything, then he lost a whole lot more A fool's devotion Swallowed up in empty space The tears of regret Frozen to the side of his face The smell of sunshine I remember sometimes I've done all I can do Could I please come with you? Sweet smell of sunshine I remember sometimes

There is a game I play Try to make myself okay Try so hard to make the pieces all fit Smash it apart Just for the fuck of it (Bye, bye, ooh) Got to get back to the bottom (Bye, bye, ooh) The big come down, isn't that what you wanted? (Bye, bye, ooh) Find a place with the failed and forgotten (Bye, bye, ooh) Isn't that really what you wanted, now? There is no place I can go, there is no way I can hide It feels like it keeps coming from the inside There is a hate that burns within The most desperate place I have ever been Try to get back to where I'm from The closer I get, the worse it becomes The closer I get, the worse it becomes There is no place I can go, there is no place I can hide It feels like it keeps coming from the inside
