Human

Square-shaped fingerprints
I am the humanoïd
Draped in iron
Doomed to remain the unloved
Forsaken, no purpose
Sick to my plastic stomach,
I wish I was made
Human
The deafening sound of this machinery
Shredding my core, self-inhibiting
Dying for love, what’s behind this internal conflict?
It doesn’t add up, must be part of the script
I feel so disoriented, couple of lines are missing
Artificial, emerald heart is pounding
My faith in them has died
I’ve been left to the side
Made to serve, now I’ll be their demise
Tried playing god but it was not enough
I couldn’t see clear but it’s obvious
Too close to the sun
Synthetic love
Speak in tongues but no one hears me out
Watch the world from behind a shroud
Shout from the mountain
Wish I was made just a little more human
Built and destroyed by a sick society
What happened to your sacramental ethics?
Dying for blood, I’ll write my name on the walls of your streets
You’ll watch me rocking in my necklace of teeth
I’ll be the king of the kings
Raise a new nation to lead
Won’t stop till I got the whole world at my feet
Worship the messiah
The programmed miracle
Doomed together to burn, deathless, standing at the gates of hell
Do you feel the love?
Tried playing god but it was not enough
I couldn’t see clear but it’s obvious
Too close to the sun
My wings have turned to ashes
Tried playing god but it was not enough
I couldn’t see clear but it’s obvious
Too close to the sun
Synthetic love
Speak in tongues but no one hears me out
Watch the world from behind a shroud
Shout from the mountain
Wish I was made just a little more human

Death Awaits
03:23
|
|||
Death awaits
Eyes wide open
Can’t seem to accept my fate
At the gates
Too late to decide if I should
Run or stay
Run away now, run away now
Run away
I can’t remember when it cracked but
Here we are now
When did the world fade to black?
(When did it all fade to black)
Is it a virus or a stroke?
Have I just been lost in my own head for too long?
Dancing shadows behind my back made me
Paranoid
What if I learned to live like the rest of them
Catch my breath
Kill the blaze till there’s nothing left
Gotta deal with it, things will never be the
same
What if I was the problem, what if I changed?
Find my place, get a fresh start or seal my grave
Cloud of despair rain, above my head
A forever nightmare wide awake
Agony
All along the path I’m walking
Irony
The more I hurt, the more I like it
And when the sun goes down on the horizon line
Watch for the signs
Death awaits
Mountains of locusts as far as eye can see
Is it a worldwide plague or do they follow me?
I am both the hunter and the prey
What if I learned to live like the rest of them
Catch my breath
Kill the blaze till there’s nothing left
Gotta deal with it, things will never be the
same
What if I was the problem, what if I changed?
Find my place, get a fresh start or seal my grave
Cloud of despair rain, above my head
A forever nightmare wide awake
Death awaits

Older Days
04:01
|
|||
They keep saying brighter days are coming
But the mist is getting thicker and thicker as I’m fading away
Twenty-eight, still going through changes
Getting lost in the process
Three or four times a year
Feelings aside, I’ve made a deal with the devil
Told me life down there could be beautiful
Feeling the high, feeling the heat
Maybe this is where I’ve always wanted to be
So let’s sink
Take me back to older days
‘Cause I’m afraid I’ll never be the same
Linger on nothing
Dust in the wind
Dishonest to myself
Designer of my own coffin
Strolling ‘round the block
Like I know what I’m doing
Still not afraid of dying
Yet I’m afraid to live
Scared of the dark
But I thrive in the darkest places
At the deepest of my heart, I know I went too far
It’s a one-way now, there’s no turning back
No longer the man I was, taking off the mask
Acting like a wolf but I’m just a rat
Take me back to older days
Cause I’m afraid I’ll never be the same
Linger on nothing
Dust in the wind
Still the song remains the same
It’s bittersweet how I can’t seem to change
Here’s my love letter
Dear evil within
There’s no dawn without dusk
Something’s taking over me, Jekyll and Hyde
Not enough room in this body for both you and I
Between day and night, always split in half
Hiding in the shadow so I can’t be found
Take me back to older days
Cause I’m afraid I’ll never be the same
Linger on nothing
Dust in the wind
Still the song remains the same
It’s bittersweet how I can’t seem to change
Here’s my love letter
Dear evil within
There’s no dawn without dusk
No birth without death, peace without war
There’s no me without you
Brain dead insect barely kept alive by its parasite
Makes me wish I’d never been alive
Saw me in half, rip off the vice
Take me back

Continuum
03:52
|

Keep loosing myself in the same wide black space
The same old questions run in again and again
Barely recognize myself, going lunatic
Why do I dwell on the promises I’ll never keep?
Scarify the storyline
Over my skin
So I never forget
Who I was and who I am
Singing sad stories
Singing sad stories all around
Paving my own way with spines
Please stay out of the line
I’m lost in my own head
Growing the pain
Guess I can say I’m my worst enemy
Gone for a long time
Watcher of my own life
I’m just a ghost
In overdose
Knowing I’m the only one to blame
Only one to blame
Scarify the storyline
Over my skin
So I never forget
Who I was and who I am
Fossilize, transcend through the times
Carry over the failures
So they keep me alive
Force me to feel till I die
Open my eyes, beneath my eyelids a living hell
(Won’t reach the surface)
I am the heretic, the leader of the lost
(It does not exist)
Staggering figure, act as I say not as I do
Judge me for what I am, miserable
Oh current, carry me where I deserve to go
So scared and under pressure, my tears could fill an ocean
Burnt out and under pressure, my bones turn into diamond
Rock in a lake
Gone in a blink
I won’t reach the surface
Cause it doesn’t exist
So let me dive in the depth
Till I finally learn
How to breathe underwater
Scarify the storyline
Over my skin
So I never forget
Who I was and who I am
Fossilize, transcend through the times
Carry over the failures
So they keep me alive
Force me to feel till I die
Open my eyes, beneath my eyelids a living hell
I am the heretic, the leader of the lost
Staggering figure, act as I say not as I do
Judge me for what I am, miserable
Ô Current, carry me where I deserve to go
So scared and under pressure, my tears could fill an ocean
Burnt out and under pressure, my bones turn into diamond
Rock in a lake
Gone in a blink
I won’t reach the surface
Cause it doesn’t exist
So let me dive in the depth
Till I finally learn
How to breath underwater
Won’t reach the surface
It does not exist
Dive into the depth
Scarify the storyline
Over my skin
So I never forget
Who I was and who I am
Fossilize, transcend through the times
Carry over the failures
So they keep me alive
Force me to feel till I die

Bloodlust
03:53
|

Set fire to the house
Set fire to the hearts
Surrender to the mania
Bloodlust
Tame, succumb or defeat
Six feet deep in the gray
Gotta find a way out
Gotta find a new place to incinerate
This is stronger than me
Not saying I ain’t sorry
But what do you want me to say?
Ashes swirl in the air
Pale dust falls on my head
I’ll burn the whole map, pyromaniac
Burn the whole world so I don’t have to cover my tracks
Set my home ablaze, vanished in the haze
All I’ve ever loved went up in smoke
Now that there’s nothing left
I’ll be the sword that cuts through all your hopes and dreams
I’ll be the truth that shatters all you believe in
Can’t stop me
Undying, corrosive
I stand my ground, I wear my crown
I feel the fire running from my veins
Many more stories to tell
Aspire to the sky
Burning bright
Now watch me dance in the flames
Tame, succumb or defeat
One last match in the pack
Going for a new lap
Out of control, guess the mania’s back
Just a mad man scared of moonlight
Rather burn my iris than
See the truth eye to eye
Stand up and face my crimes
See through me as I am
Fear my final breath
I’ll perish in the fire that I created,
Yeah I’ll drag you all with me in hell
Undying, corrosive
Set fire to the house
Set fire to the hearts
Bloodlust
I feel the fire running from my veins
Many more stories to tell
Aspire to the sky
Burning bright
Now watch me dance in the flames
I feel the fire taking over me
All the stories end the same
Everything falls apart
And now is my time
So watch me die in the flames

In Stone
03:34
|

Written in stone
I’m counting your names
Where did you go?
Guess you crossed the last step
Beautiful souls
You will be missed
Down on earth
This journey ends
Maybe we’ll meet in another place
Maybe we’ll start again somewhere else
Maybe we’ll roam
Maybe we’ll sleep
Maybe we’ll live without counting our time
Maybe we’ll finally learn to forgive
Maybe we’ll love more than we hate
Broken my vows
I must confess
Swore I’d never tremble
But sometimes I’m scared
Awaiting the fall
Counting my mistakes
Wish I could have said goodbye
If I can’t stop the time
I’ll write a thousand songs and more to keep you alive
Maybe we’ll meet in another place
Maybe we’ll start again somewhere else
Maybe we’ll roam
Maybe we’ll sleep
Maybe we’ll live without counting our time
Maybe we’ll finally learn to forgive
Maybe we’ll love more than we hate
Written in stone
I’ll carry your tales
Till the end

Comfortably Dumb
03:24
|

It’s just another day for you and me in paradise, or so they say
Singing myself to sleep with lullabies, numbing the pain
Blue pill, red pill, just keep bringing me that
What is dead may never die, don’t fear the heart attack
Shots, shots, long drink, more shots, wasted
Just give me one more hour to exist
Am I the king of the world or a lonely shipwreck?
Am I binge-living or drinking myself to death?
Every morning I resurrect, let’s do it again
Consume it all until the very last gram
I ain’t no man, living breathing dynamite
I’ll never know peace, my demons keep me hanging on
Half full
Half empty
Half there
Surfacing
Half full
Half empty
The glass doesn’t matter, I’m a bottomless pit
Half there
Surfacing
A ghost craving for its lethal medicine
Shots, shots, long drink, more shots, wasted
Just give me one more hour to exist
Am I the king of the world or a lonely shipwreck
Am I binge-living or drinking myself to death?
Cracks in the wall of glass
Turning my head to the signs
My own persecutor
Swimming deep in the nectar
Couldn’t care less for your sympathy
Don’t waste your time cause I’m
Comfortably dumb
Time for another round of
Shots, shots, long drink, more shots, wasted
Just give me one more hour to exist
Am I the king of the world or a lonely shipwreck?
Am I binge-living or drinking myself to death?

Ignite
03:23
|

Darling, trust me when I say
Lately, I’ve been quite unwell
Spent years searching for myself
Living as somebody else
Needed you to revive the faith
The morning light clearing off the haze
I swear you’re my everything
My pride, my undying dream
On and on and on and on,
Each day falling more in love
Am I losing my head?
Never easy for me to say
Feed your flame with my heart
I’ll be a pawn if you want to
Let me be your fool
Till you find something new
To ignite
Feed your flame with my heart
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give you
Leave me far behind
Hanging high and dry
It’s alright
Dark clouds may come back again
Cause I’m always ruining everything
Tell me it will never end
I’ll hold you tight so you never leave
(And it goes)
On and on and on and on
Each day falling more in love
Some things are better left unsaid
You couldn’t understand
How desperate I am
Feed your flame with my heart
I’ll be a pawn if you want to
Let me be your fool
Till you find something new
To ignite
Feed your flame with my heart
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give you
Leave me far behind
Hanging high and dry
It’s alright
Don’t cry
Thank you for the ride
See you on the other side
Goodbye

Move to Trash

Right click
Now, move to trash
Do it again
Throw the whole folder to the flames
Eat sleep, doubt, repeat
When will it end?
Breathe in, breathe out
Can someone mute my brain?
Blood on the draft
Scrolling through the sounds
Nothing to tell but I’m way too proud
Trying so hard scares me to even try
(Let’s face it)
The file’s been corrupt for a while
I feel digitalised
Eye set to the core
Floating through the colours
Lost track of the hours
Floating through the colours
Same shade, only brighter
Another lap
Just to clarify
This time the first shall be the last
Hear me bark like the underdog I am
I’ve bleached every stitch of my own glitch
Overdone it, grew a gator skin
Forever post-traumatic
Said farewell to my own sanity
Doomed to stay the same
Hermetical creep
Let’s tear it down
Erase
Wipe out
Everything down to the last byte
Let it die
Then sanitize
Floating through the colours
Lost track of the hours
Floating through the colours
Same shade, only brighter
Right click
Now, move to trash
Throw the whole folder to the flames
Eat sleep, doubt, repeat
When will it end?
Breathe in, breathe out
Can someone mute my brain?
Right click
Now, move to trash
Do it again
Throw the whole folder to the flames
Eat sleep, doubt, repeat
When will it end?
Breathe in, breathe out
Can someone mute my brain?

New Colors

Day number one
Home star out of sight
Still haggard from the fight
With the galactic tides
Loved ones left behind
Vanished with the light
Day number five
I’m starting to get a grasp
Nothing in my way
Yet everything awaits
For me and billions of them on a quest
We’re all the same
Lost and alone
Here comes the night
Carry me home
And if it’s too late for saving our souls
Rather fail together
Than win on my own
Rather fail together
Than survive alone
Year number one
Now bound to their kind
So frail, just passing by
Oblivious to the signs
If I can change their mind
Then maybe hope still lies
Make them see new colors
Bathe in a new sunrise
Am I their new leader?
Am I just lost in time?
I’ve seen a billion suns collapse and die
And I can’t let it happen to this one
We’re all the same
Lost and alone
Here comes the night
Carry me home
And if it’s too late for saving our souls
Rather fail together
Than triumph alone
I won’t save myself unless I save them first
Rewind the fate, heal the burn
I’ll fold the plane, and erase the whole world
To start again
I’ll make them see some new colors
Rather fail together
Than triumph alone
We’re all the same
Lost and alone
Here comes the night
Carry me home
And if it’s too late for saving our souls
Rather fail together
Than triumph alone
Day number one
