I might be reborn or it might burn my skin
I just don't care, at least I'll finally feel something
Tickle every needles stuck in this voodoo doll
Stab it, stab it, stab it
Listen the sound that comes
That comes from this fucking empty wreck
From this carbonized heart
I'm this disheartened man
Who knows that he might end burnt-out?

Life ain't a gift
You've grown up in the shit (In the shit)
Like most of us, mate
You feel like dreaming awake
You're staying distant from the man that you really are
It's hard to swallow the pill, right? I know
You would have loved to deal with, without any problems
Hey mate, we can see you through your fucking bubble
Why can't you see the people right before your eyes?
You need a cure, a remedy to fix this all
(A remedy to your pain)
You're sleeping awake
Dreaming eyes opened
You do behave just like all these fucking sheep
You hate it
God ain't a shepherd
You followed the wolves in their den
But you're just a lamb, like lost in the woods
The world will turn, with or without you my friend
We're only passengers
We live then we die
You're only wasting your time
You better wake the fuck up
You're sinking a little bit more in the depths of the mirage
You wanna run away from this hell
You need a cure, a remedy to fix this all
(A remedy to your pain)
You're trying to fit in this world where you live
But you're feeling like an outsider
Just wake up
That's a dream
You are dreaming your eyes wide open
What's the fuck?
Wake up
That's a dream
You are dreaming your eyes wide open of your life
Wake up, mate
That's a dream
You are dreaming of your life
Wake up
What's the fuck?
Wake up, mate
Wake up, mate
That's a dream
You are dreaming of your life
Wake up
What's the fuck?
Wake up mate, yeah

You're just a goddamn liar, playing a fucking role
Bragging that perfect life you've never had
The tables turn, kid
I just can't wait to see it
I wanna know what you are made of
You just don't know who you are
There's not much left of yourself
How could you even see with your heart?
You can not see the whole world around
There is no chance to, to cover this hole
I can't see where your heart takes place
There's nothing clear in this game you play and you're losing yourself
Because you're living in a lie
You don't even know who your friends are
Do you feel the gravity?
Just come back, just come back down
Alterating the reality
Your heart is blinded by the lies that you told
You want a life you'll never have
Leading yourself to your motherfucking downfall
Open your mind to the world around
Or you will never make it out alive
You just don't know who you are
There's not much left of yourself
How could you even see with your heart?
You can not see the whole world around
There is no chance to, to cover this hole
I can't see where your heart takes place
There's nothing clear in this game you play and you're losing yourself
Because you're living in a lie
You don't even know who your friends are
Do you feel the gravity?
Just come back, just come back down
Open your eyes all your loved ones are faking
You're getting caught up by your lies
I just can't wait to see how this will end
Oh, you'll never know how to animate your empty heart
You'll never feel that fire
You feel nothing
Your chest is empty, you can't fill this space
Your heart is gone for good, leaving you loveless
It's been a while that you're life is a mindfuck
How the fuck could you live with yourself?
You're just a goddamn liar, playing a fucking role
Bragging that perfect life you've never had
Facing the mirror, you just can't be yourself
Feeling the reality slip between your fingertips

There's more to life than what could ever meet the eyes
So don't take a step back
The crowd's wild, and I'm ready to feed them
They need this, a big mess
I'll keep spitting in this mic 'till the feast's end
I'm stressed out, but I breathe here
Oh, I could die for this
Can you hear me loud and clear now? (clear now)
Why can't you sing along?
Sing your fucking heart out
I'm sure you'll make it out alive
You'll make it out alive
This place is all we have, here and now
I'd like to live this forever (forever)
I want to feel the ground once the bottle sounds hollow
The show is over
This is all I'll ever have I guess
This is all I've got to light my way
And those moments are priceless
I can't forget the miles, I walked
I can't forget a single step
Since I left the warmth of a home
I'm so tired to see that I have been misled
It was a long road 'round the core
When your eyes devours me
I think that my only will is to simply look alive
'Cause I feel dead when I'm out
I can't bear my heartbeat in my chest
And my mind is such a deep mess
I can't stand to see
This fucking disaster the world made of me
I'm so sick
I'm just a man, a son of this pitiful world
I can't feel the touch on my skin unless it burns
Am I alive?
Can you hear me loud and clear now? (clear now)
Why can't you sing along?
Sing your fucking heart out
I'm sure you'll make it out alive
You'll make it out alive
This place is all we have, here and now
I'd like to live this forever (forever)
I want to feel the ground once the bottle sounds hollow
The show is over
This place is all we've got here and now
But now, it's time to let us be
Can you hear me loud and clear?
It's time to let us live

It's getting harder to breathe, harder to feel free.
It's getting tougher to write, tougher to feel things.
It's getting harder to live, harder to pay bills,
hard to feel alive.
It's getting harder to breathe, harder to feel free.
It's getting tougher to write, tougher to feel things.
I need help.
I feel sick of taking these pills.
Life must be sweet once we're fucking dead...
Yeah
Once that we're dead.
Sometimes I drown in the sound,
like trying to find the silence.
(The silence!)
Lost in the noise of this world,
show me the way through the darkness.
I gotta pay, pay for a daydream.
Look at my soul, trapped with the bailiffs.
I might die, starving to death,
biting my own tail again and again. I can't hear myself think.
This fucking room must be talking
'cause I can hear it.
I see me kissing death between these walls.
Life must be sweet, yeah,
life must be sweet on the other side.
I don't wanna pay for a fucking life that I don't want.
Because the rich get fat,
while the brave man die.
That ain't a lie.
It's sad to say but that's how the world fucking runs.
No, this is not for the money.
Put your doubts aside.
Music is not about filling a fucking bankaccount.
That's what they want,
not what we fucking wanted.
It makes me sick,
sick of seeing motherfuckers ruling the world whereas it burns.
Sick of living in a world that I don't understand. Amongst the wolves.
Sometimes I drown in the sound,
like trying to find the silence.
(The silence!)
Lost in the noise of this world,
show me the way through the darkness.
If I'm a basket case, this casket will welcome me with open arms
like an old frind of mine.
Just like an old friend of mine.
Oh, I need a room to breathe.
No, I can't go on like this.
It's getting harder to breathe, harder to feel free.
It's getting tougher to write, tougher to feel things.
I need help.
I feel sick of taking these pills.
Life must be sweet once we're dead...
FUCK!
Hell is full, don't you see?
Hell is full and we're dragged into the depths.
Oh shit... Heaven don't exist.
We dance between the devils hands.

I'm going away.
I'll follow the sun on its journey
To lead my steps.
No matter the winds,
No matter the rain, I'll keep on walking,
I'll see where it ends. I tried to live through these souvenirs.
I have talked to this man I'll never be and
Wiped all of these tears.
I tried to be what they wanted...
To be the saviour they've called here.
But all i needed was to find my place.

I left behind me the comfort of a normal life
Traded it all for my sake
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should
It's always crystal-clear
I spent more time in this room to write all this
Than with my family and all my friends
I traded my everything
To feel free to walk my own path
I won't be the one who forget his dreams
I'll make sure to remember them
I'll take a glance at the Earth
When I'll be on the roofs of the world
The dream will be mine
For now I wanna be the one who lead his life
I might have took the longest way to leave my dream
But every miles will bring me closer to it
I'll build it all of my bare hands
Will follow the sun on its journey
I wanna tame this heart which is mine
Feel that I'm leading my life
I hold the key in my hands
I left behind me the comfort of a normal life
Traded it all for my sake (I never felt a regret)
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should
It's always crystal-clear
These lines that I write are the mirror of my soul
Like a letter to this kid who played alone
Now... this kid do feel like a man
He bear the weight of his dreams
Stands just before your eyes
He found a meaning at his life
He wanna know...
He wanna know what this life can bring him
He wanna know where this road will lead
So take him away and show him places he'd never seen
I remember the promise that I have made to myself
The kid I was has grown up, but all his dreams stayed the same
The souvenirs of his words linger inside of my head
It's like crystal-clear
This is us versus the fate
I wanna know...
I wanna know what this damn life can be
I wanna see where the road will lead
So take me away and show me these places I've never seen
I left behind me the comfort of a normal life
Traded it all for my sake

Get ready, this song is fucking BEAST! have fun
You wanna play the man, kid?
Aren't you afraid to play with the fire?
So let's play, So let's play this game.
Gimme your best shot or you will get shot.
We've been like bros you and I...
Oh I know, I've been too nice.
All this time you lied like you breathe.
Fuck.
You lie like you breathe.
There is a place for you in one of these body bags.
You better watch your back.
You better watch your back.
I'll slit your throat with the dagger that you left in my back. You bastard, I curse your life.
I curse your life.
I'll put you inside the trunk of an old Cadillac.
You'll be found dead in a bag, next to a foxhole.
You'll be the star of the newspapers main lines.
I swear to chance your life in a fucking hell.
A fucking hell.
Oh!
I truly hope that you pray hard enough for god to find a place in your head.
He'll have the leftovers when I'll be done but
as long as you breathe you belong to me. Yeah...
I'll be the last thing your eyes will see.
You better pray, I got time to kill.

I'm always striving to see clearly
through all my troubles,
I need a break.
This can't go on and on,
I'm near from the breaking point,
get me out of my routine.
My life is a mess,
and if it's a little bit late to change it,
then how could i even change myself?
.Yeah how could I change?
I gotta believe in myself,
rely on my feelings.
Just let me see the dawn
I'll find a way through the morning,
a life for the night and some hope in this promise.
My demons entertain me
when i'm haunted by all your murmurs.
My mind tends to break (by itself).
I revel in illegible images.
Oh God is laughing like a fucking brat who plays over an anthill.
yeah, I do pray, I pray to stay outta reach,
(far from his eyes).
I sway with that bottle of brandy in hand.
I'm alleviating my soul when I drift through the void.
I have to say that all this is all making me deeply sick
it echoes in my head.
To save things never been part of my plans so I should just play dead but that's not my type.
Even sell my soul won't make a difference,
that's never ending. (never ending)
I'll sing as long as I don't know where where I'm going to end.
Just met me see the dawn,
I'll find a way through the morning,
a life for the nights, a shelter in the glitter of all these lights.
If you let me... see the dawn
I'll find a way through the morning,
a life for the night and a meaning at all this.
I'll find a meaning at all this.

I've been hearing you murmur
About a thousand times
The minutes are running like rabbits
And I'm chasing words
It's almost midnight
You're probably already sleeping
The sandman by your side
So we'll meet in our dreams
I've been far for so long
I swear soon I'll be home
If my heart is cold wrap it up please, warm me up
I see the miles pass one by one in the rear-view mirror
Driving, 'til the nights end, foot on the gas
Leaving all the rest behind
It's 5 a.m
And I'm miles and miles away from home
Frozen
Following the signs along the road
I've been far for so long
I swear soon I'll be home
If my heart is cold wrap it up please, warm me up
I see the miles pass one by one in the rear-view mirror
Driving, 'til the nights end, foot on the gas
Leaving all the rest behind
I miss your presence, I need you by my side
I wished a thousand times upon these shooting stars
To see you cross the door, 'cause I feel half alive
Since you're gone

I'm not the greatest writer
Oh, I'm not the greatest, no
I'm not perfect, not even novelist
This time you better listen up
Oh, life have barely changed
Twenty-two, still pissed
Plenty of shits in the backpack
And Nikes on my feet
Many pieces are missing since I came back home
I can't deal with my own life
I'm incomplete
Another empty wreck, shit
I'm just the shell of a man which is absent
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant
What I have is far from being gold
But I write open-hearted, my balls in the inkwell
Fuck it, I'm done with swallowing bullshit
Since hitting it off has become an addiction
I needed more than these words going nowhere
To show you that my life is not such a poem
Some black clouds will get so much bigger
No matter how lucky I am
I've never learned how to live with the thunder
My heart is a lightning rod
And I'm walking under a thunderstorm
Mesmerized by the lights
With my eyes half shut
I do live through these lines
Writing this song just to say what I got to
I need much more than these words
Just to show you that it's a struggle
To be able to believe in this life
I write with my heart open
Even if it can be so callous
Just listen, this heartbeat have so much to say
I just can't keep it in
I just won't keep it in
I'm not the greatest writer
And this isn't the greatest song
I'm not perfect, not even novelist
I'm not saint, I'm not a fucking prophet
Fuck this, I'm just drifting
I keep moving pushed by the movement
I'm still trying to pull the strings of my fucking life
Oh, you can keep the pain
The fame, the money and the whores
Cause I'm a body-shaped shell in a sorry state
My friends, you better listen
This man you see now isn't totally different
Along the road he thought he found himself
A fucking sense at these goddamn feeling
I'm just the shell of a man which is absent
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant
What I have is far from being gold
But I write open-hearted, my balls in the inkwell
Fuck it, I'm done with swallowing bullshit
Since hitting it off has become an addiction
I needed more than these words going nowhere
To show you that my life is not such a poem
I'm just the shell of a man which is absent
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant
My heart is a lightning rod
And I'm walking under a thunderstorm
Mesmerized by the light

Let's go.
i know i can't define this life
i know you can't see through these answers i'm seeking for are way too deep to be found
My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes (my eyes)
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem?
I've been changing
It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that i've been changing,
and what I've been through to see clearly through myself.
through myself.
I was such a mess before this
I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finaly found myself.
I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life
I will never let you define my way of.life.
I thought we've been watching the same sun but we're way too far to finally feel warmed.
this is my time to speak
this is the time to forgive.
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem?
I didn't think the show would last so long
Though it should last forever now.
I was seeking for this,
having a chance to speak to try to feel better.
I see your face when your eyes are staring back at me.
I can fake it, it's not as hard as it seems with the detachment the drug brings
I've got these dreams to stand for,
got my voice to speak
despite the lies around me now
but this bitter taste that they're leaving won't let me feel anything. (delay feel anything)
It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that i've been changing.
and what I've been through
to see clearly through myself.
through myself.
I was such a mess before this
I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finally found myself.
I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that i can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life

We all live different hells. Some might live with but some just can't.
So why should I live a different way?
Yes, a different way.
Already twenty years have passed and I still can't live at ease.
Oh, come on, fuck it.
They claim the fame, but all they give is a spit at our faces when they're playing their bullshits.
What does it takes? What does it takes you to forget your pride?
What does it cost? what does it cost you to pay the price? Yeah!
Oh fuck!
It's not only a game based on what you reflect to others. Although they want it to be.
I can swear to you that I am probably the most blamed because I shout those fucks I lived.
Fuck your false feelings, your appearance, 'cause the best are often the most rotten inside.
So I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes, right in front of your heart.
Fuck your false feelings cause the worst are the brighter inside. I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes until they dry from the inside out.
I'm gonna prove you that we're all dying to make a place down here.
We're all dying to make a place down here.
It's not only a game based on what you reflect to others.

So I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes, right in front of your hearts.
Already twenty years have passed and I still can live at ease.
Oh, come on, fuck it.
They've made the game, but all the need is a spit at their faces when they play their shits.
We all live different hells. Some may live with but some just can't.
So why should live a different way? Yes, a different way.

Those heartfelt feelings that i got
are getting a hold of me,
I gotta let them be,
and this is why I need to tell you the things that I feel,
how much it means to me.
how much it counts to me.
You were into my heart before it locked itself,
you're all i can save from the shallowness.
You're the key of my soul,
but my soul is lost when love's a door that we fear to leave unlocked.
Even the worst we've lived could never change my mind
you're bringing back the pulse in my veins,
you've seen the the back of my mind
but now it's hard to mean something.
I found this fire burning into your breast,
this love has never been much brighter than what i could guess.
The things we've lacked could have changed us for a better version of ourselves.
No matter what they can say or the price we might have to pay for this.
They can't change the way that i feel,
the way that i feel when you're away.
There is always a way to cross all the miles
that will pave our fate,
we just can't change.
And the world can stop,
I won't give a fuck,
Cause I've got something that counts
and i will never let it leave.
They spit the venom, i gotta take it out,
love is a hushed bird you shouldn't cast out.
Well if it's meaning a break, they shouldn't have lied,
shouldn't have spent a whole night riding a fat ass.
I can't feel a remorse, I can't have time to find why you're that addictive,
'cause a sad heart cannot fake feelings
It's not the first time that love is dead living.
It makes me sick, cause all of the mistakes we've done were meant to make our path,
snakes will keep spitting, but we remain faithful to our beliefs.
I'm so tired of these shits, no matter what,
and how many times we've to rebuild on ruins
a structure that can hold us closely.
No matter what they say or the price we might have to pay for this.
they can't change the way I feel, they can't
Nor your place in my heart when you're next to me.
Even the worst we've lived could never change my mind,
you're bringing back the pulse in my veins.
You've seen the back of my mind
but now it's hard to mean something.
I found this fire burning into your breast,
this love has never been much brighter than what i could guess.
The things we've lacked could have changed us for a better version of ourselves.
The winter has passed, I was hoping you'd hold on through those nights in the cold.
You don't know how much I'm hollow, how much I miss you.
the summer is coming, I'm awaiting the day when I can finally take you home,
'Cause this time I'm gonna show you how much I love you
