2 - Do You Really Want It

Do you really want it?

You say gimme a high, oh god, gimme a feeling
(I've lost my reason)
You say gimme a push, oh push through this
(Concrete ceiling)
You say gimme a sign that proves what I believe in
(My psychic reading)
So I can shake these american demons
Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing is clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
(That's the way things are)
All because we hate the buzzkill, hate it when we need to feel
But we can change it all (if you really want it)

Do you really want it?
Do you really want it?
(Come, come, come)

You gotta bite the bullet, 'til your guts are bleeding
(Grab a mic and scream it)
You gotta dig up the past to get past this
(Anxious feeling)
You gotta get ripped apart to see what you breathe in
(To find a reason)
So I can shake these american demons
Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing is clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
(That's the way things are)
All because we hate the buzzkill, hate it when we need to feel
But we can change it all (if you really want it)
But we can change it all

Do you really want it?
Do ya, do ya?
Do you really want it?
Do ya, do ya?
So I can shake these american demons
Screaming, screaming, screaming
Everybody

Wants to change the world
But one thing is clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
(That's the way things are)
All because we hate the buzzkill, getting what we need to feel
But we can change it all
(But we can change it all)
We can change it all
If you really want it

(But we can change it all)
(Yeah, we can change it all)
If you really want it
(We can change it all)
(We can change it all)
And everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
(We can change it all)
And everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
(We can change it all)
And everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
(We can change it all)
And everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves

3 - Convict / Divide

Our rage, and our very proper rage, against evil things which occur in this world must not overstep itself

We are going to terminate our race in a mutual massacre of scapegoats

Now then the question arises, who's deceiving who?
Who's fooling who?

Well, you're deceiving yourself
Everybody takes the shortcuts, everybody plays tricks, everybody has an element of duplicity, of deception

4 - Let 'Em Burn

Everybody, everybody, yeah
Everybody, everybody, yeah
Everybody, everybody, yeah
Everybody, everybody!
Everybody, yeah
Everybody, yeah
Everybody, yeah
Everybody, haha
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Where's the truth?
Where does it lie?
All this smoke is burning my eyes
Fear on the left, fear on the right
Money is power and power decides
Some are more equal than others
Everybody, everybody lies
Everybody, everybody buys it
Everybody, everybody
We all divide, divide, divide

So let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, woah
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
So let 'em burn
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Call in my drugs
Make me alright
And legalize whatever gets me high
They preach the blood, in fear we trust
Embellish it, it sells itself
And I bought in for the last time
Everybody, everybody lies
Everybody, everybody buys it
Everybody, everybody
We all divide, divide, divide

So let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, woah
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

They repeat a lie 'til it become a fact
We gotta burn it down so we can build it back
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Maze of mirror, house of cards
You fix the fight, rigged from the start
The bottom line is above our heads
Employ the flies
To build your web

Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Everybody, everybody, yeah
Everybody, everybody, yeah
Everybody I mean everybody, yeah
Everybody I mean everybody!
Everybody, yeah
Everybody, yeah
Everybody, yeah
Everybody!

Sick of this shiet, sick of these lies
They all deny, deny, deny
Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
They repeat a lie 'til it become a fact
We gotta burn it down so we can build it back

Let 'em burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
So let 'em burn!
Everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, haha!

5 - Ripping Me Appart

Came to with your hands around my neck
Angel in my ear and a gun to my back
You take the wind from me but I choke for the last time
Keep your convictions, I'm done playing the victim
You better move on, motherfucker

But you pull me right back together
Yeah, you pull me right back
You pull, you pull, you pull

Oh God, you're ripping me apart
You're ripping me apart

Oh, you make me a God when we come together
You make me the best, but I never get better
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are everything to me
You rip me, you rip me, you rip me, you rip me

I've got that four foot nine and 15.000 pound
Gorilla in the room
But no one knows, nobody knows that he's got me by the throat
He says: I'm not here to lie about the pain, I'm here to make you feel it

But you pull me right back together
Yeah, you pull me right back
You pull, you pull, you pull

Oh God, you're ripping me apart
You're ripping me apart

Oh, you make me a God when we come together
You make me the best, but I never get better
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are everything to me
You rip me, you rip me, you rip me, you rip me

You're coming through the back door
Pull the trigger screaming: Give me more
Crack my head on the concrete
My, my conscience right in front of me
Blood pumping like a heart attack
Don't tell me, don't tell me how to act

You make me a God when we come together
You make me the best, but I never get better
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are everything to me

Oh, you make me a God when we come together
You rip out my heart and you push in the dagger
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are every fucking thing to me

You took it all from me
(You took it all from me)
Oh, how you rip me, you rip me, you rip me, you rip me
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh

You're coming through the back door
Pull the trigger screaming: Give me more
Don't tell me, don't tell me how to act
Oh God, I just need another cigarette

6 - Don't Stop

Like a shotgun in a fist fight
Like a murder in the daylight
I'm the poison in the lead pipes
Open me up and watch the dogs fight
Dogs fight
My angel's in a headlock
And I'm dropping bombs from the rooftops
I ain't waiting on the world to wake up
Oh, you never need luck when you don't stop
Don't stop

My New Year's resolution, yeah
To choke out my illusions, yeah
To cut trough the confusion, yeah
Oh, keep on digging deep, keep digging deep
Keep digging deep, we keep digging

We don't stop, we don't stop

The ball drops

I give the side eye to the soundbites pumping stock lies
Saying shit don't stink
Touch a hot nerve when I prefer to be think first
And turn down Jonestown drinks
Five senses and a brain to move me
Five ways that they can never use me
I got the fire, I got control

Five senses and a brain to move me (Control!)
Five senses and a brain to move me (Control!)
Five senses and a brain to move me (Control!)

7 - Funny Little Creatures

It's funny how I can give the best advice
But I can't follow
So I tell myself, so I tell myself
It's funny how I can push the pills but
But I can't swallow
So I tell myself, so I tell myself

Run, run away

Blame is a coward but self righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Hate is power with a price tag
A funny little creature screaming out in me

(It's funny how the little)
It's funny how the stories that I tell myself
Leave so many things out
Do I believe myself, or someone else?
It's funny how I know what's wrong
About everything and everyone else
When I don't know myself
When I don't know myself

Run, run away

Blame is a coward but self righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Hate is power with a price tag
A funny little creature screaming out in me

(It's in me)

Fear is a liar
Pleads right before
If you fight your shadow
You get lost in the war
Ambitions are cheap
Preach up to the whore
Drunk or simple
We always want more
I always want more
I always want more

Lust is beauty in a bodybag
A funny little bitch that's screaming: Just use me

Blame is a coward but self righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Oh, let me go
Oh, let me go
It's screaming out in me
It's gonna get worse, before it gets better
It's gonna get worse, before it gets better
Goddamn it
Trust me

8 - React / Respond

Texte déclamé, non chanté.

You will find therefore, that if you get with reality, all thoughts of delusions disappear, all thoughts of delusions disappear.

But you must remember that the secret to all of this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid, and you don't resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear. But when you refuse to be afraid, you are resisting fear, and that simply sets up a vicious circle of being afraid of fear of being afraid of being afraid of fear. If then you try to obliterate fear, you're working in a wrong way. To attack at fear is the strengthen it.

As if you were God, that is to say, you don't trust anybody and you're the dictator and you have to keep everybody in line, you lose the divine then. 'Cause what you're doing is simply defending yourself. So then the principle is the more you give it away, the more it comes back.

The meaning of the fact we see that everything is dissolving constantly, we're all falling apart. We're all in a process of constant death. Then you truly understand that you don't have to let go because there's nothing to hold on to.

9 - The Great Divorce

I was born
In this great divorce
Heaven tempted
Hell before
You're sucha-cha-cha ticking time bomb
You're acting scared
My, feel my friction
My hope, my resin
I breathe it in

I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
Pulls me
Down

I can't escape this
It's in my bones
This part it becomes me
And digs a hole
No absolution
No letting go
Oh no, he's screaming, pay your debt
This guilt is yours

I breathe it in
I breathe it in

I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
It pulls me
It pulls me

Pay your respect
Pay no mind
Pay your respect
Pay no mind
Pay your respect
Pay no mind
Pay your respect
Pay no mind

I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
It pulls me
Yeah, yeah
It pulls me, yeah
Yeah

Pay your debts
Pay your debts
Pay your

10 - Still In Love

It feels like better days have passed
And I'm not betting being better or the best
Would bring us back

How long have we been in this hold?
We were gonna grow old together
But now we're just growing old

I tried, I tried
Yeah
I tried, I tried

I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you
Love
We try and we try
So hard, always
And we try, we try
So

It feels like better days have passed
We turned and we burned everything that we had from a blaze to an ash
Why can't we go back?

I tried, I tried
Yeah
I tried, I tried

I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you
Love
We try and we try
So hard, always
And we try, we try
So hard
Hard

We tried so hard
We tried so hard

I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you
I'm still hurting
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love
With you

11 - Alone / Together

Interlude musical sans texte.

12 - Go To War

I don't know what you had in mind
But here we stand on opposing sides
Let's go to war
Let's go to war!

We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done
Name them off one by one
Let's go to war
Let's go to war!

Everything you say
Everything you do
Push it in
And you cut me down
(War! War! War!)

Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?

Hush my baby
Make no sound
Maybe we can wait each other out
It's a cold war
Let's go to war!

With every settled score
I thought that fighting with meant fighting for
But you turn it around
But you turn it around
(War! War! War!)

Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe

Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?

Do we sensor?
Do we flow?
Are we drunk on the chemicals?
Every feeling in my bones
Tells me to lash out and tell you to fuck off

You've got my heart and I've got your soul
But are we better off alone?
With every battle
We lose a little more
Remember everything
That we'd die for
You are everything
That I'd die for!

Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe

Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe?
Do you feel safe?

13 - Just Say When

We used to dream, we used to name the stars
Tracing futures, lying in the dark
They said we'd never last
The brightest flame burns fast
We say words, but we don't talk anymore

Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other?
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full and we stopped pouring in
So just say when

I've seen that sunset in your eyes again
I got that sinking, sinking, same feeling
They said we'd never last
They were right but I can't help looking back

Oh, tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other?
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we the try again?
The glass was half full and we stopped pouring in
And just say when

Oh oh, we keep circling, it never ends
We keep breaking down but never bend
Oh, we've been half alive
We've been half alive for way too long

Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other?
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full and we stopped pouring in
So just say when
Just say when

14 - Accept / Disconnect

Texte déclamé, non chanté.

We cannot change anything unless we accept it
We cannot change anything unless we accept it
Power is the lovely enemy in it's own path
The call of all things "brother"

15 - Who we Are

Remember!
Remember!
Remember!

For the blood
For the sweat
For the fears and the things that betray us
For the cracks in the mirrors
And the ones that you bust on the pavement

We're awake in this dream
And we choose to believe
That the you that's in me is in everything
We're alive, we're alive…

It's who we are that keeps me believing
There's something here bigger than ourselves
If I'm wrong, then why am I still feeling
Who we are keeps me believing?

For the pain
For the strength
For our will to hold on to the changes
From the now to the end
Every second we count
We embrace it

As our faces erase
And our bodies decay
As you move through the waves
That echo our names
We're alive, we're alive…

It's who we are that keeps me believing
There's something here bigger than ourselves
If I'm wrong, then why am I still feeling
Who we are keeps me believing?

Keeps me believing

One more time
We stand together
Never forget why
Always remember

One more time
We stand together
Always remember!

It's who we are that will be making it out alive
After all, it's down here we die

It's who we are that keeps me believing
There's something here bigger than ourselves
If I'm wrong, then why am I still feeling
Who we are keeps me believing?

Keeps me believing
It keeps me believing

(Woah-oh-ah-ohhhh)

Who we are keeps me believing

Keeps me believing
Keeps me believing
Keeps me believing

16 - Tunnels

In the tunnels of life
We hold our breath, we close our eyes

Stiff as a board to the other side
We fill our lungs and we pray for light
We fill our lungs and we pray for light

I will make it through this
Digging deep, sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this

Always smile and pretend
We want to give up, we want to give in
When hopelessness is content (yeah)
We feel our worlds caving in
We feel our worlds caving in (yeah)

I will make it through this
Digging deep, sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Like this, now

We are the light
We are the dream
We are everything we need
Just breathe
Just breathe
We got the strength, down to the bone
We got the grip that shapes the mold
We make our own (we make our own)
We make our own

It's all risk, don't ever regret
Taking every chance we get
To make our own, to make our own, yeah

I will make it through this
Digging deep, sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Like this, now

I gasp for air
It's getting thin
I'm blacking out
It's shedding skin
As I trudge forward
I believe
I feel the light lifting me

Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe

17 - End / Begin

Texte déclame, pas chanté.

Suddenly you find you have a power. This enormous excess of energy. But it's not power that came to you because you grabbed it. It came in entire of the opposite way. A power comes to you in an opposite way. This power with which you can be trusted.

18 - Fade In / Fade Out

Just the other day I looked at my father
It was the first time I saw he'd grown old
Canyons through his skin and the rivers that made them
Carved the stories I was told

He said: Son, I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
I have watched you fade in, you will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand, I know you won't let me down

Go and find your way, leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain, and don't run away from change

Never settle, make your mark
Hold your head up, follow your heart
Follow your heart

Just the other day I stared at the ocean
With every new wave, another must go
One day you'll remember us laughing
One day you'll remember my passion
One day you'll have one of your own

I said: Son, I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand, I know you won't let me down

Go and find your way, leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain, and don't run away from change

Never settle, make your mark
Hold your head up, follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart

We all get lost sometimes, trying to find what we're looking for
We all get lost sometimes, trying to find what we're looking for

I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
I have watched you fade in, you will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand, I know you won't let me down

Go and find your way, leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain, and don't run away from change

Never settle, make your mark
Hold your head up, follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart

When the morning comes and takes me
I promise I'll have taught you everything that you need
In the night you'll dream of so many things
But find the ones that bring you life

And you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
