Chained Down 01:01
We’re all chained down to things that are
2.
Vice 02:10
You got me wrong, I don’t like you Being kind only means I dunno what to do There’s nothing more, I just hate you It’s not my duty to tell you what to do You got me wrong, I don’t believe you Being quite only means I am ashamed of you You are so wrong, I even told in a rage Tolerance doesn’t mean we’re on the same fucking page Please stay away, you ain’t good for me Every word you speak cuts until I bleed you’ve gone too far, and killed my patience No similarity in any moment You got me wrong Don’t ask me what’s your shameful vice If you don’t understand I will tell you twice One more time but all clear I’m sorry, you ain’t welcome here

Heading for light
 Crawling out of darkness, see the world alive 
To start this fight
 A fight of life everybody has to survive 
Feel the world crushing in
 Thrown into a place of sin
 Came from a cave where was nothing to fear 
 But got kicked out because life is not fair 

Kick me back into the void I once came from Life is an illness we all suffer
 Maybe some people more than other 
 Got to try to don't get lost
 Everyone's a person who is loved
4.
Blind Faith 03:17
Duty to obey Wash your sins away Repentance to right the wrong Pray more, think less, all along Praise the lord Go beg for mercy Praise the lord Sing your sins away Doesn’t matter what you see Just believe what you hear Don’t question anything You have nothing to fear Trust with all your life Not do your own moves Blind obedience to a presence never proved Don’t think, just believe A promise you have made to keep Keep reality out of your mind Your belief doesn’t make it right No one saves your soul Rapture leads into a hole All you’ve learned is to pray You lead yourself astray And even at your dying breath You won’t have realized there is nothing left You hope for a sign you haven’t lived a lie There’s nothing to come but one last goodbye 
Don’t think, just believe
5.
Who Are You? 03:04
Everyday Unbalanced moral certainty You have to choose not to lose yourself Good, Bad - constructs of your head You might be afraid to be on your own Stick to yourself even when you’re alone The world is not just black and white Choices been made, some wrong some right Some things are right Some things are wrong Sometimes it’s right to do something wrong Don’t be afraid to enter the fray People will judge you anyway Preaching water, drinking wine You’re not needed any time Who are you to set all standards? Who are you to judge with a hammer?
6.
Cold Skin 03:26
Living on the edge of self destruction Where we’re headin’ when there’s no purpose to all of this? Stuck in my own head Paralized, almost dead Reality bites way too hard Reality bites I’m lurking beneath the ground Just waiting to feel warmth on my coldish skin I lie here lurking beneath the ground Just waiting to feel warmth on my coldish skin I grab your hand but can’t even feel it I feel death reaching out for me This old bastard touches my neck every time I go to sleep 
Whispering sweet lies of life
7.
You got - You got - We got - Oh fuck We need to get away Paranoia is a cold ghost baby First it splits you apart, all decisions turn maybe I’m wasting time, I try, run out of options, problems chase me down into my coffin Too many times I’m fucking scared to be me Too many times I’m fucking scared to be you Now tell me who is who?

‘ Nothing to fear, nothing to lose’ Easy to say – you don’t fear nothing I’ve made and so will you - easy to say 
I can’t control the pain I’m going through
 I’m so damn close to break off
 You gotta keep on movin‘
 At this point I’m afraid I have to admit I try so hard but I won’t make it I tried so hard 
 But this time I failed
 There’s no easy way to make this right

(All life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other. They had chained him down to things that are, and hd then explained the workings of those things till mystery had gone out of the world)
9.
Paradise 01:59
Welcome to Paradise Waves crushing down on you Pretend to live in peace Fight this blackness inside Subdue the loneliness It's all just in your head Tryin' to escape but you've already been fed to the sharks Lost in Paradise These thoughts tryin' to choke you Tryin' to hold you down Takin your breath away Absurdity everywhere you see Can't think straight Only one way out This is no paradise You’d rather be dead than livin' this hell
10.
Asleep 03:14
Why can’t I be like you? This seems so easy Talking ‘bout emotions I wanna feel it Feel it - I need to feel love Feel it - Cause I don’t wanna Lose it - Lose my grip on reality tonight I can’t make it on my own The everlasting fear of being alone I wanna fall asleep Some rest for my soul is what I need
11.
Antipathy 02:04
Get out of my way How many times shall I tell you this I’m so sick of you talking shit There’s no need for your two faced game Heard all your stories they‘re all the same Once fooled by your lies Your words made me blind My emotions don’t mean shit Just focused on your own benefits Playing with people they do what you want them to But now I have seen through the fake empathy you show You control my mind – You control who I am 
You’re not the only one to blame - I should’ve known better I was too easy to play - I’ve lost my temper Get out of my sight
I cut you out of my life Talk behind my back Could not care less
12.
Gone 03:27
Mourning in black - I lose my head 
Fake sympathy - Hurts most to me 

Resting bones marked by decorated stones Flowers reminding me of life
 Gone too soon, I miss you by my side
 The sun is burning, behind us the church
 Mourning in black, not talking a single word
 The priest who is claiming to know someone I loved
 I hate this entire show
 Mourning in black - I lose my head 
Fake sympathy - Hurts most to me 
Like a stranger 
 Apathetic looks Spurious gestures Nothing but an actor Meaningless words Fake sympathy You have no idea How much it hurts 
I don’t know what to say 
 I don’t know If I call you friend I don’t beg you to stay
 If you wanna go leave this place
 I don’t know what to say 
I don’t know If I call you friend If you don’t wanna stay
 Why did you even come to this place? The coffins sinks to the ground
 Pallbearers standing there Dependents all around me You’re wearing that fake sad face 
 Can you please just leave this place? Leave this place
