Empty Suit / Friends / Empty Corner / Meat Mincing Machine

(Music: Roope, lyrics: Janne) A teenager is trying not to show the real him Mysterious guys are the coolest ones Won't look at even the best friends in the eyes Scared of the thought, they could see through Many years later he still is just pretending Hiding something he has never found Locked up from inside and the key is thrown away Stranger to himself, lost inside Counting - Years go by Running - Out of time Shining - The shine will die Fading - Out of time Black and white is all he sees Colours, they are missing Life is sometimes shades of grey But colours he can never feel again Behind the wall, thoughts of grey, one change, mind's decay Empty suit, built on ice, one crack, end of lies The goalline was crossed before he even got to start Never knew when the time was right Tried to hurry in everyplace but never got there in time Now it's too late, the show is sold out lead: Roope The flame is 'bout to fade inside his little vacuum No one will give him a hand No one will hear him through Counting - Years go by Running - Out of time Shining - The shine will die Fading - Out of time

Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining, I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew. Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely," Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew. Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just... Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying, You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew. So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you, Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew. Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

Ain´t I so nice, mother you´re so wise I´ll satisfy your will You´ve tied me tight, but I won´t fight Because I don´t dare to try A holy place disgrace, after having been a bad bad boy You like to see me cry, fact you can´t deny - Mother I ask you why? If I hurt your honour, you push me back into my corner You want to protect me from the wicked world outside You keep me in your empire of glass and I´m your pride I dream of breaking the glass and stepping into unknown But do I have strength to pull myself over the wall of fear What would happen to my mother? Would I hurt your feelings? Would you still take me back if I missed you too much? Spoke up my mind, mother you´re not so kind I´m back in the corner I´m begging thanksgiving, "you must be kidding" Guessed I did disappoint you Oh mommy, I´m so sorry... A holy place disgrace, after having been a bad bad boy To this white sheep, raising stuck cuts too deep I think I´m done The cuts will bleed `cos you don´t have What they really need You wanted to protect me from my dream world outside You kept me in your empire of glass, say bye to your pride

You have big muscles, a long black hair Play guitar in the cellars, you want out at any cost This manager here will make you a star She´ll create an image for you, one of those spitting ones... Kill - while others play, you kill Praise - praise yourself, the king of heavy metal That piece of advice got you into the charts You think your fans fear and respect you now "But I want them to fear me more" I think you are ridiculous and silly Is this all because of the size of your willie You play macho man to a 13-year old chick You´d love to explore her porcelain with your prick You dress like if you lived in the iron age Your intelligence quotient is pretty much the same Head full of LSD, acting gorilla on stage Or are you acting at all? You´re a meat mincing machine "It´s so fucking fun!" You wanna be as sharp and lethal as an X-ray gun And be as famous as ex-president Reagan Well done! The wide wall between your role and true yourself Is fading away, so you have to choose which way to go Fear me more! You gotta go further and further Fear me more! Or wake up from this bad dream Wake me up! Please, Mr. Nice manager Wake me up!
