You used to say 'the world is changing, while we’re not' Time passing too fast - You fought If we run any faster now, we’ll lose all we got At least that's what you thought The world is still changing - now so am I I was asking - again and again "Where you at? Where? You seem lost in there" But you were no longer in there you vanished like fog through the air I might have whispered "catch me if you can" Oh man, I was hanging in a liana Oh oh oh A while back I started dying I was slowly dying over a two year's time Sometimes you tried to hold on, sometimes you just let go Last year you were a fetus in the void Last year you were born You got up on your feet, felt incomplete Sometimes you stumbled, sometimes you fell Cause this is not life's parallel Luckily, I've been a human before But I’m still not sure what we came here for I might have whispered "catch me if you can" Oh man, I was hanging in a liana Oh oh oh Oh man, I was hanging in a liana I might have whispered "catch me if you can" Oh man, I was hanging in a liana But only to get over to somewhere else Somewhere else than..................?

We should stop So I'll stop I'll stop pretending in last year I'll stop I'll stop believing in today's yesterday and yesterday's tomorrow Thought I would come back on my own But none of us are ever fully grown Fully mature things - they rot Nobody told us - they forgot So I'll stop You should stop Because I am I'll just be They made us believe that I am me I am what I do - I think I'll just be We should stop So I'll stop I'll stop pretending in what I was told I'll stop believing in the things that I told Because now our words are covered with mold I believed in everything existing, everything, everything not existing, a hundreds of lies Old century-old-doesn't-make-sense-norms dies They die So I'll stop You should stop Because I am I'll just be They made us believe that I am me I am what I do - I think I'll just be Thought I would come back on my own But none of us are ever fully grown Fully mature things - they rot

I've been stuck to a basin full of worst case scenarios I see signs of warnings, everything is precarious The ceiling could fall down I'm not delirious You can't make me make sense You can't make me make sense I'll try telling myself And I'll say... I'll say... I'll try telling myself, that I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind The dead ones were with me for almost a year I didn't really notice I wasn't aware I feared for my close ones I felt death was near That's why I keep my distance To avoid my biggest fear You can't make me make sense You can't make me make sense I'll try telling myself And I'll say... I'll say... I'll try telling myself, that I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I've been stuck to a basin full of worst case scenarios I see signs of warnings, everything is precarious The ceiling could fall down And I'll keep saying that I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind And I'll say that I don't mind I don't mind And I'll try telling myself I don't mind

I Think 04:09
I think that I'm thinking that I think I think too much I think I think too much about how you feel I think that I'm thinking that I know what you feel But we're not the same And I wouldn't even feel that way I might be thinking that maybe.. but I'm not sure But I'm probably saying too much maybe But I'm not sure I know that I want more More than what I want to express I thought it was better I'm the one being bitter and getting less But all I do is making a mess I guess I became a coward, making a mess This is becoming a mess I think that I'm thinking that I think I think too much I think I think too much about how you feel I think that I'm thinking that I know what you feel But we're not the same And I wouldn't even feel that way I might be feeling all these feelings that none of you even feel Cause I didn't actually make you feel bad I'm doing this worst case scenario; "what if you'll be sad" I wish you told me you get it and that I do not make you feel bad I wish you told me you get it and that I do not make you feel bad I think that I'm thinking that I think I think too much I think I think too much about how you feel I think that I'm thinking that I know what you feel But we're not the same And I wouldn't even feel that way I wouldn't even feel that way

Doomsday 03:48
I haven't slept for 20 years because we have been running (but it's still not about running) For hours before your awakening either the whole world is shaking and the ground behind us is breaking That's why our bodies are still aching We run from hijackers with a sexual mission But I can fly on my back like a magician We're the half who cannot sleep We never rest, the night is steep We experienced doomsday while you we're asleep We never rest, we never sleep We're the half who cannot sleep Each morning you start from scratch I'm speeding down, ready to detach But I'm still in my bubble Coming home, on my way You're like "hey hey hey" Not getting the delay But hey, I'm still trying to get over last night's fray I still haven't arrived for today Because I experienced doomsday We're the half who cannot sleep We never rest, the night is steep We experienced doomsday while you we're asleep We never rest, we never sleep We're the half who cannot sleep We're the half who cannot sleep We never rest, the night is steep We experienced doomsday while you we're asleep We never rest, we never sleep We're the half who cannot sleep We experienced doomsday while you we're asleep while you we're asleep Sleep sleep sleep sleep

It was odd Like I'd already been there in an earlier dream I was swimming in a black, slimy, delicate cream I know who's been here before me I was drawn to their distorted scream This place is too small Everyones on the floor Trying to knock down the brick wall This place This dark haze It's going down, down, down, down This place is too small This place is too small it's going down, down, down, down I'm more content than ever It was odd Felt like I was dreaming The streets were screaming Showed me their scar when I was on my way to a bar I swear I've been here before But maybe I've only visited the first floor I want to say never more But the fifth floor moved into me I never should have opened that door This place This dark haze It's going down, down, down, down This place is too small This place is too small it's going down, down, down, down I'm more content than ever I am darkness, I was a mess I'll confess; I'm more content than ever even if I'm less I am darkness, I was a mess I'll confess; I'm more content than ever This place This dark haze It's going down, down, down, down Trying to Trying to Trying to Trying to Trying to Trying to

I was in my bubble I started to stumble when I came out I used to be ... Sometimes I don’t I believed in everything existing, everything, everything not existing, a hundreds of lies The world is still changing Now, so am I Fully mature things they rot Fully mature things they rot Fully mature things they rot I'll see you again

I went fishing by myself I turned into a shellfish - I guess I got selfish I'll see you again I'll see it all again now

Irreversible 03:29
We let it burn Even if it's soon to be point of no return I don't believe in hell I do believe our morality has fell Let's pretend Let's pretend it's identities and lifestyles they sell We chew capitalism in a decorated shell Let's pretend We'll bring the party to Mars Driving in zero waste cars Drinking moonshine in imaginary bars Write our own planet its respectful memoirs Let's pretend Let's pretend Goddamn Damn Goddamn Damn I'm safe inside Just sitting here writing My garden is burning But I'm not doing anything Well, I say there's things I don't do I say; I'm waiting for their awakening And hey, let's pretend Let's pretend I'm on the outside looking in I'm on the inside looking out There's no doubt that even the ones who shout knows what this is really about And hey, let's pretend Hey, let's pretend Goddamn Damn Goddamn Damn

Blue 04:30
I don't need to look right There is nothing right about the right side I look far to the left, to find something left I don't need to look right There is nothing right about the right side I look far to the left, to find something left Your words, like bullet rain hits straight through yet another vein Your old fashion wall, because you're ignorant and small And that's not all How can someone want someone this crazy and mean to decide No, I no longer want to know what they feel inside You shamelessly, recklessly, remorselessly won't see longer than the tip of your nose I think it's gross I think it's gross You shamelessly, recklessly, remorselessly won't see longer than the tip of your nose I think it's gross I think it's gross I used to be curious, I used to ask why I'm done, I'm pissed, I don't wanna try You might be scared behind your so-called confidence To me it doesn't make any difference I hope books of history will later mention your acts and negligence People die, cities fall You and your mates you put up a wall You shamelessly, recklessly, remorselessly won't see longer than the tip of your nose I think it's gross I think it's gross You shamelessly, recklessly, remorselessly won't see longer than the tip of your nose I think it's gross I think it's gross

Be Fine 04:00
Now I've said it all It's easier to say "I was feeling" rather than "these days I feel" Cause when I feel, I don't feel like saying I'll stop feeding them I'll stop feeding them And I will, and so many will feel these things again And I will, and so many will be fine once again We'll be fine once again I'll see you again I'll see it all again Sometimes I forget this is how life's like Life's like a sunrise-sunset - a converse duet I forget that I am lucky I see me when I'm upset I'll look elsewhere now I'll look elsewhere now I'll go out I think I've been inside for too long It's been myself, me and I I know it's wrong Life's been nothing but a song I went fishing by myself I turned into a shellfish I guess I got selfish I need to see you I need to see you I'll see you again I'll see it all again Sometimes I forget this is how life's like Life's like a sunrise-sunset - a converse duet I forget that I am lucky I see me when I'm upset I'll look elsewhere now I'll look elsewhere now I'll see you again I'll see it all again Sometimes I forget this is how life's like Life's like a sunrise-sunset - a converse duet I forget that I am lucky I see me when I'm upset A lucky bastard with my feelings in your headset I'll look elsewhere now
