1. PARADISE LOST

What if on your fingertips,
The world could stand,
What would you do with it's power?
Your name upon the lips of every man,
You're the one in control

How do you want me to kill?
How do you want me to safe?
You'll be above them all, say you believe in me
You won't have, to live in the world so fake

[chorus]
You can't see the sun, until you open your eyes
Come on and open your eyes, do you see me?

I am the impossible possibility
Of having it all,
You'll be unstoppable
In your ability
A miracle to them all

But no one's better than me
You think, you're better than me?
We're gonna take a ride
Return to your suicide
But this time
You won't have to die at all

[chorus]
You can't see the sun, until you open your eyes
Come on and open your eyes, do you see me?

I'm the one in control, of it all
The sun is burning the evidence of a normal man
Inside, resurrect yourself again
The sun is burning the evidence of a normal man
Tear him down
Throw him down
Burn away
But this time you won't have to die at all

[chorus]
You can't see the sun, until you open your eyes
Come on and open your eyes, do you see me


2. HARD TO BE HUMAN

Am I too bad? Am I too good?
Am I too mad? Or misunderstood?
Am I too late? Am I on time?
If I'm too early then tell me
I'll go home and come back tonight
Am I too old? Am I too young?
Am I too vain? Is she one?
All that I need?
Can I be good enough for her
when I am not good enough for me?

[Chorus]
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be Human today

Am I too rich? Am I too poor?
Does this tattoo reflect
what is in my soul?
Am I too black? Or maybe too white?
Am I too proud to think
I might not be right?

[Chorus]
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today

Am I too mean? Am I too nice? Am I too high?
Should I just get drunk? And start up a fight?
How about tonight?

Am I too strange? I talk to myself?
Am I deranged, because I have thought about killing myself?
Should I get help?
Am I too straight? Am I too gay?
Am I too pretty or ugly or freaky?
Do I sound cliché? Am I okay?

Tell me I'm good! Good enough for you!
Tell me I'm good! Good enough for you!
Tell the truth!

(Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today)

It's hard to be human today
It's hard to be human today
It's hard to be human... always


3. BREAKING AWAY

Tell me, do you know what’s on my mind, maybe you’ve forgotten after all this time
I need, just a second of your time, I’m standing outside of your front door

And I won’t leave, Not today, not until you answer me, no I won’t go, unafraid
I know you won’t let me in, Now I’m

Breaking away, I’m Breaking In
(cause I know it’s hard, we suffer in the dark)
Now I’m Breaking…in

You got me, like I’ve committed a crime, guilty, I’ll do it one more time wait and see,
I plead, no I’m not the mastermind, simply, I’m the one who asked for more

And I won’t leave, not today, not until you answer me no I won’t go, unafraid
I know you won’t let me in, now I’m

[Chorus]
Tell me, do you know what’s on my mind
Maybe, you’ve forgotten!


4. DARKSIDE

Hey you, you with the crown
Shouting your orders, watching your people drown
Don’t take it off too soon, they’ll kill you too
And you say, it’s all in my mind,
All of the voices, all of this humankind
I’ll give it up if you face me

You’ll bury me?
What’s the difference, I’m Born to die I’m born to live free,
they say you have to fight to win, They say you have to fight to win!

[Chorus]
I’m so close but far away,
far away there’s nothing more to give,
you never let me live
I’m so close but yesterday passed away,
I never will forgive, you never let me live

Now I’m out of the dark and into the pages writing your history
I’ll make it up if I have to
Cause you, you were the drug, you were the danger, I put the blame onto
That’s when the drugs turned into you

You hate me, what’s the significance? We learn to lie we learn to deceive
they say you have to fight to win, they say you have to fight to win!

[Chorus]
I’m so close but far away,
far away there’s nothing more to give,
you never let me live
I’m so close but yesterday passed away,
I never will forgive, you never let me live


5. CASUAL SEX

Forget your girlfriends, boyfriends
anyone important (fuck 'em)
We're looking for that instant fix
Masturbation, infecting the nation
So I'm going out to get laid

Don't cry, don't cry, you'll get some action
Find a new lover at the bottom of a trashcan
Tonight, you might, use some protection
You're gonna like it baby, ready or not

[Chorus]
Look at me, i'm everything that i hate
I'll go, when you leave, so stay with me everyday

We're going downtown, joyride, looking for a quick high
Everybody strip down to your underwear
Am i dreaming am i slowly bleeding yo this,
Ecstasy is not bad

Rewind, rewind, the point has passed us
Just get in line, for the ultimate experience
In time, in time, you'll be just like them
No need for dress codes when you have the money

[Chorus]
Look at me, I'm everything that I hate
I'll go, when you leave, so stay with me everyday

[Bridge]
Why do i convince myself that these photographs,
Are prison cells, my memory are fairytales about you

You got the red states, blue states
Fucking on your first date
Media reports say we're a product of date rape
Left brain, insane, the president needs cocaine
Hilary's upset because obama's well hung

All right, all right, have i gone too far?
Who's listening to the opinions of a rockstar?
Tonight, tonight, we'll ride in my car
I'll take your shirt off while i drive with my knees

[Chorus]
Look at me, I'm everything that I hate
I'll go, when you leave, so stay with me everyday


6. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

Here we are
In my room
Getting lost
Inside of you
Standing next to you
The world gets complicated
The lights are fading
Down

[Chorus]
What do we do now?
When innocence seems
To be lost
Underneath your broken dreams
What do we do now?

Here we are
Under sheets
Second guessed
Saying words we didn't mean

Here we are
On the street
In love last night
Today thinking we're free

The world gets complicated
Our passion fading out

[Chorus]
What do we do now?
When innocence seems
To be lost
Underneath your broken dreams
What do we do now?


7. BROKEN

I don’t remember the lights being so bright inside your room
I don’t remember seeing the stars in the afternoon

Do you still blame me for not changing?
Our love was meant to be, broken

[Chorus]
Broken! You’re telling me it could’ve been better
It could’ve been the best ever

And now we’re looking out into other people’s eyes trying to find
All the answers to a love lost over time

But you still hate me for the memories
Our love was meant to be broken

[Chorus]
Broken! You’re telling me it could’ve been better
It could’ve been the best ever


8. GOODBYE

There’s something in the darkness calling me from sleep tonight, tonight
I look into your eyes at the visions that you keep,
can’t remember all the faces, but I know you weren’t there with me…

[Chorus]
So this is it, we have to say goodbye, goodbye, forever
Until we meet again, we have to say goodbye, goodbye

And in the morning when you’re lying there alone
Having slept with all the questions, now that the answers have all gone

Although the sun set on us many times before, I can’t stay to see the sunrise,
Cause I already know it’s going to fall

[Chorus]
So this is it, we have to say goodbye, goodbye, forever
Until we meet again, we have to say goodbye, goodbye

I know, you’ve never been so afraid
I know, of everything that you gave

[Chorus]
So this is it, we have to say goodbye, goodbye, forever
Until we meet again, we have to say goodbye, goodbye (2x)

I’ll remember everything, for the rest of my life, goodbye…


9. ZERO PERCENT

Don't take too much, but more than enough
You might find a cure if you just take some more
If you run out, with the gun in your mouth
As it tells you right here in this governments brochure

The FDA will soon approve a new procedure to remove
The frown from your face, and in its place
A permament smile for the whole human race

[Chorus]
These drugs, will alter your mind
Come out of the darkness, step into the light
Drugs are bad for your health,
Start a new life, it's right here in this pill

We could going out of our minds, so we need just one hit before we say goodbye and wie die from these drugs!

[Chorus]
These drugs, will alter your mind
Come out of the darkness, step into the light
Drugs are bad for your health,
Start a new life, it's right here in this pill

[Bridge]
Suicide is such a shame
Stay alive, there is money to make
While you bleed, oh what a disease!
Watching you bleed, while you're screaming at me...

[Chorus]
These drugs, will alter your mind
Come out of the darkness, step into the light
Drugs are bad for your health,
Start a new life, it's right here in this pill
These drugs, will alter your mind
Come out of the darkness, step into the light
Drugs are bad for your health,
Start a new life, it's right here in this pill


10. CITIZENS

Bow to the churches, bow to the preachers, bow to corruption, bow to the dealers,
Bow to the soulless, bow to the leeches, are they the voices in this world?

We walk down the street empty-handed, attack us if you will
We walk down the street with arms open wide
The citizens abused…

[Chorus]
The cold, the rain,
silent in our begging,
taking all the blame
The tears, the pain inside

Where are the hopefuls, where are the healers, where are the lovers, and the believers, why do the leaders, often deceive us, are they the heroes in this world?

We walk down the street empty-handed
Attack us if you will
We walk down the street with arms open wide
The citizens abused…

[Chorus]
The cold, the rain,
silent in our begging,
taking all the blame
The tears, the pain inside


11. MOONLIGHT MASS

Breathing, I won’t pick-up the phone, I’m too far away, gave away my soul
I talk to no one

Blood stains my fingernails, claw at the wall, hey but nobody cares, at all

[Chorus]
But shouldn’t I wait for something more, to follow
Will I belong
Where the candles are still burning bright
Your memories will wait for tomorrow

Empty, no feeling at all, lying here forever
Never letting go, I laugh at angels

Darkness inside my veins, closing my eyes, letting go of the pain, come on

[Chorus]
But shouldn’t I wait for something more, to follow
Will I belong
Where the candles are still burning bright
Your memories will wait for tomorrow

Look, under the bed
I see the reflection of the devil with a halo on his head
The Clouds, that cover the walls
they’re just the angels in the room (they’re) daring me to sell my soul

My God, could I be dead?
if there’s a stairway up to heaven can’t you come down to me instead?
My God, give me wings
This time tomorrow at the service bells will ring and they will sing
he’s flying…

[Chorus]
But shouldn’t I wait for something more, to follow
Will I belong
Where the candles are still burning bright
Your memories will wait for tomorrow


12. HATE

Heaven will you ever let me in?
I’m confessing but it has never been my strength
I have misbehaved, I have disobeyed, come and be a friend of hate
Empty veins, empty eyes, we remain, suffering from your perception of hate

[Chorus]
But I want destruction
I want the ground to swallow me
I walk in darkness,
I’ll let my hate turn into me
I am the torture
I am the violence in my mind
no time for praying
Unless you pray for the end of time

I have misbehaved, I have disobeyed, come and be a friend of hate
Empty veins, empty eyes, we remain, suffering from your perception of hate

[Chorus]
I want betrayal
I want my love to suffer more
I’m falling from heaven
I fell to the bottom of my soul

[Bridge]
Pick me up, and take me higher
Don’t ever let go of me until I find the strength to stand and let go of you

[Chorus]
No more destruction
No more unnecessary graves
And forget religion
I feel like it kills more than it saves
cause I’m going crazy
I can’t believe the things I’ve seen
So somebody stop them
Don’t let the hate turn into me


BONUSTRACK

13. THE FUNERAL

Don’t you look at his face, don’t speak of his name, there’ll be no eulogy
Don’t you look in his eyes, he took his own life, left no apology
Don’t believe in the lies

The culmination of a lifetime
Exonerated by a sick mind
the infiltration by an evil spirit, an evil spirit

[Chorus]
He spreads his arms and falls to the stones
Sickened by fate the temptation too great
The man was a hero to me
He planned his funeral (a hero’s funeral)

Power! The philosophy of a man intent on human pain
But I believe there was a greater affliction that took his life away

He planned his funeral, a hero’s funeral

Now as the skin decays, his memory erased, in the entirety
of his conscious demise, his soul is excised, in death’s sobriety
as we look to the sky

He tasted death now for the first time
He took a breath now for the last time
What would it take him to be willing to live, willing to live

[Chorus]
He spreads his arms and falls to the stones
Death he proclaims to the blood in his veins
abandoning his progeny
He planned his funeral

[Bridge]
Did he think it’s alright, if the family’s okay, that he could die in peace
Did he think it’s alright, if he dug his own grave, that he could finally sleep
Did he think it’s alright, if the family’s okay, that he could die in peace
Did he think it’s alright, if he dug his own grave, that we could live
With his memory of deceit!

He spreads his arms and falls to the stones
The eulogy… What in the world can you hope to achieve when
you’re planning your own funeral?

He planned his funeral, a hero’s funeral…


14. THE WAR

Shoot ‘em down, shoot ‘em down, shoot ‘em up
Pull the pin, light the wick, cut ‘em down
Bring him in, if he isn’t dead already
Show no fear, no regret, no remorse,
We must win the war!

Murderer, murderer, murdering
Innocence, of a proud minority
Hypocrite, hypocrite, counterfeit head of state
Break his filthy lies, the word of a liar

Attention army, I am the active commander-in-chief
Of this conspiracy, stand and obey
Dead or alive, dead or alive, bring me the prisoner dead or alive
If you see this world, with blood in your eyes, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Michael help us win the war

Company, company, cover-up
Kill a man, and enjoy his poperty
Radical, radical, eradicate
Enemy, destroyed

To the left, to the left, to the right
Everything under my authority
Media, medium, mediate
Entertain, the world

Attention Army, Behold the hero of heresy!
The proud imposter of peace
Bring him to me
Dead or alive, dead or alive, bring me the prisoner dead or alive
If you think this world, is hell in disguise, you ain’t seen nothing yet

There’s hope
No, I can’t believe it, this war could be the end
Step down
Bring me Michael’s head

Silence
