Liar betrayed, your days are gone Tired Dismayed, things won't go on Piercing through the armour plate Burning, set upon See my gaze upon you one more time Your chest ablaze, punishment for your crime Piercing through the armour plate Imminent, so sublime Implement 'cause you perpetrate Eloquent, any place, anywhere, any time Eyes are red, bursting, filled with blood Call the dead, yearning, understood Piercing through the armour plate Imminent, so sublime Implement 'cause you perpetrate Eloquent, any place, anywhere, any time

State confusing Slow down aging How fast are you moving Is motion changing? Acceleration causes vertigo effects Domination, punish your subjects Bend the light Enjoy the fame Bend the night Lose the game Does it feel good Or is it your pride Concealed if you could Is this all that love provides? Wishful thinking All that's about Possibility shrinking It didn't play out Bend the light Enjoy the fame Bend the night Lose the game

Influencer 04:01
Indulge in luxury Divulge your privacy Influence the gullible Confluence the nullable You're on my mobile screen You're on the TV scene You show your legs and between To be queen Still you're barely eighteen Easy money your dream You crave to be seen To be queen Every bit of you is fake Remade like a fruitcake Lips and other things blown up like tyres Hungry for attention and to be admired You're on my mobile screen You're on the TV scene You show your legs and between To be queen Still you're barely eighteen Easy money your dream You crave to be seen To be queen

Night's come over me Think that I'm lost Dark night's haunting me The path is crossed Will not stray from me Deep contention Will not dismay me It's my pretension Living that dream Can never be mine Instead I scream Chase the headline To be mainstream Forced to resign It's the same theme Mind in decline Thoughts are indisposed The hunt is on Hiding I will choose My shelter's gone Wish I were not a threat Feel all alone Insignificant Cuts through the bone In the end it's what I am The things they said To be a real man Voices in my head Living that dream Can never be mine Instead I scream Chase the headline To be mainstream Forced to resign It's the same theme Mind in decline Voices in my head All the things they said Voices in my head All the time I bled Voices in my head Blood is cherry red Voices in my head Calling the dead Calling the dead

Battle screams and battle cries Battle dreams and battle lies It's coming here and it's coming now The puppeteer will disavow Beating up the little guy Better believe it Anything that gets you high You can't deceive it You go out of your skull And you're loving it You go out of your skull And you're loving it Better make it worth your while Think that you'll escape somehow The concept is so versatile And in the end we will all bow Beating up the little guy Better believe it Anything that gets you high You can't deceive it You go out of your skull And you're loving it You go out of your skull And you're loving it

Absence cuts right through me like the polar winds Her box of darkness was a gift A part of me that destiny abscinds I understand the need of thrift Meaningless It goes away Keep telling that it goes away Maybe not today Just trying to keep the hurt at bay Holding onto the knowledge that tears will fade But that couldn't be further from the truth Thinking 'bout every moment and the love we made Embracing her with passion and her skin that felt so smooth It goes away Keep telling that it goes away Maybe not today Just trying to keep the hurt at bay

Coming to the end of sleep Floating in the immeasurable deep Remember her voice that sounded sweet (red velvet dress) Blackened eyes so indiscreet Get out of the light Pleasure made me lose my way The silence I herewith obey She smiles and tells me it's okay (red velvet dress) I promise that I'll never stray Get out of the light Coming to the end of sleep Floating in the immeasurable deep In her absence I fell incomplete (red velvet dress) Her blackened eyes so indiscreet Get out of the light

Acceptance 06:06
Always accept who you are A call Still awake No matter Try to fake Reflecting on every mistake that I made Fear Cannot sleep The pain Going deep Expecting that they're here to keep I'm a creep It doesn't seem real Tougher than steel How does it feel Cutting the deal Catherine wheel Do an appeal Start to congeal In my ideal Give me a break How long does does it take To forget my mistake Still wide awake Too much at stake To soothe the ache Cannot remake For goodness sake Don't be such a slave Who needs to behave The acceptance I crave Is an insincere knave The truth I surmise Overcapitalise Acceptance a prize To materialise Go on I still belong Never forget I'm strong The memories of everything gone I wasn't wrong Dismay Go away To say Only play The moment that I went astray Here to stay

Deficit to be filled Here goes nothing Future to be built People crushing Desire to be on top Despite the suffering Prepare yourself for the drop Evil plundering Fire one Here goes nothing Fire two You'll hit something Being very pleased As everything worked out All the land you seized Keep thinking that the dark's not dark enough Hanging on by your nails Desperation Egotism fails Your aspiration Fire one Here goes nothing Fire two You'll hit something Being very pleased As everything worked out All the land you seized Keep thinking that the dark's not dark enough

Give me money Give me bucks Make me shiver It sucks And greener to be Self control is what it's like Black world, black bodies And suffer this section makes it better to see I have time to waste I have time to give I have time to waste And I have the time to give Give to you I have time to waste

Actions meant to save the day Meaning that we'll break away From reason, leaving disarray The purpose is to disobey Partying with Beaujolais Everything's a giveaway Standing up to power play But listen, there is more to say Seeming That it's all Demeaning Free for all Understand the concept of mass hysteria One day have to accept that man is scarier Creating a compromise Differences will subtilise Rebels we will canonise Regardless of our own demise Truth is here to stigmatise Social madness symbolise Society we will paralyse Humanity we will tyrannise Seeming That it's all Demeaning Free for all Understand the concept of mass hysteria One day have to accept that man is scarier

Holding her baby in her arms A useless prayer that nothing harms Innocent life born in a place A concrete basement, just in case Bombs exploding in the upper world The ceiling's cracking but she isn't hurt Desperate but she dares not make a sound Knowing the rules of the battleground Eardrums beating on the rhyme of war Forgotten everything that was before All wiped out in a political game Far above her head, for personal gain I will be remembered like a god I will be remembered like a god I will be remembered like a god Something to remember I'm a god Why don't you remember you are not?

Once there was a boy with an innocent soul But beyond every comprehension Torn between the feelings that he couldn't control And who failed to notice condescension Then one day, it was love at first sight There was a girl who would see through him She took him by the hand, he was full of delight Blind for the horizon looking very grim Walking hand in hand under violet skies She explained everything that she expected Just to make things clear, she didn't want to chastise But imperfections need to be corrected He didn't understand 'cause he was trying so hard Her voice cutting deep into his senses He covered his ears, much abundant in tears An offense that would have its consequences This is not the way, as I say, that we're going to make a little progress here She said in a manner that left no room for error She grabbed him by the neck, what the heck Shook him up, buttercup, he was starting to fear Last breath, to the death, and his eyes were filled with terror Slap in the face, a punch some other place She was determined to get it out He tried parrying her blows to his ability Kick in the gut, ' cause he kept his mouth shut Well deserved if he was still in doubt Heart blocked, deep shock by her insensibility Gonna kill you, gonna wipe you out You're a waste of space, that's what it's all about Gonna kill you, gonna wipe you out You're a waste of space, that's what it's all about Wandering now in eternal shade There's always hope for extrication

Anything I can I'll do for you Lies Sometime, somewhere A promise that was shattered, I'm lost No hope to spare Broken by the line that was crossed Sometime in the past An evening when the leaves would flame Hold hands to last Until your touching be remembered the same That was just another dream The kind that wakes me up and scream Deceived by empty spoken words I have to face the truth, it hurts Banished from reality The day we reached the apogee Vanished with your neediness I'm beaten by your greediness Look me in the eye Can't you see me cry The love you glorify Why don't you let me die Look me in the eye Can't you see me cry The love you glorify Why don't you let me die Sometime, somewhere A promise that was shattered for good I'm lying bare Broken 'cause I understood
