01. Adrenaline - Lyrics:

Give me the wheel

So we can move a little faster
I made you real
I'm not a glorious disaster
What part of living says you gotta die
I plan on burning through another night lost
One more for measure distant from the soul
That never sleeps
So are you ready to go?

We're trying to get some clear blue sky

Tic toc I think the well is running dry
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline
Dead state 'cause some fears in the head
Bang, bang 'cause the needle is in the red
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline
My, my
My sweet adrenaline

Cracking the vision

Who said the motivations all wrong
Not your decision
The detonation of a time bomb
Which way is up when your high is low
It's time to find it are you ready to go

We're trying to get some clear blue sky

Tic toc I think the well is running dry
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline
Dead state 'cause some fears in the head
Bang, bang 'cause the needle is in the red
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline
My, my
My sweet adrenaline

My, my, just can't lie

It's the speed in the sound that I'm dying to try
My, my just can't lie
It's the love of the chase that created the ride

We're trying to get some clear blue sky

Tic toc I think the well is running dry
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline
Dead state 'cause some fears in the head
Bang bang 'cause the needle is in the red

My, my, I can't lie

I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline

My, my, I can't lie

I need a shot again
That sweet adrenaline
My, my
My sweet adrenaline.

02. Bully - Lyrics:


It's 8 AM, this Hell I'm in

Seems I've crossed the line again
For being nothing more than who I am
So break my bones and throw your stones
We all know that life ain't fair
But there is more of us, we're everywhere

We don't have to take this, back against the wall

We don't have to take this, we can end it all

All you'll ever be is a fading memory of a bully

Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die
You're a bully

Think it through, you can't undo

Whenever I see black and blue
I feel the past, I share the bruise
With everyone who's come and gone
My head is clear, my voice is strong, now I'm right here to right the wrong

We don't have to take this, back against the wall

We don't have to take this, we can end it all

All you'll ever be is a fading memory of a bully

Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die
You're a bully

It's 8 AM, the Hell I'm in!

Your voice is strong, now right the wrong!

All you'll ever be is a fading memory of a bully

Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die
You're a bully

All you'll ever be is a fading memory of a bully

Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die
You're a bully

We don't have to take this, back against the wall

We don't have to take this, we can end it all.

03. Amaryllis - Lyrics:


In a while now I will feel better

I'll face the weather before me
In a while now I'll race the irony
And buy back each word of my eulogy

All the uninvited tragedies

Step outside

Ask yourself now

Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the moment you can't forget

So do I remind you of

Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Oh, I wish you'd open up for me
'Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom

Stay a while now

Undress your colors
'Cause they're like no others
I've ever seen
I could get used to your company
Step inside

Ask yourself now

Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the motions you can't resist

So do I remind you of

Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Oh, I wish you'd open up for me
'Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis

In a while now

I will feel better
I will be better

So do I remind you of

Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Oh, I wish you'd open up for me
'Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis.

04. Unity - Lyrics:


I found a note with your name

And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It's the map in my mind that sends me on my way

They say it's never too late

To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?

And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"

Put your hands in the air

If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you're not alone

And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

I've seen a million miles

Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I'd do it again
If it brings me back to you

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?

And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"

Put your hands in the air

If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you're not alone

And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

Put your hands in the air


Put your hands in the air

If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you're not alone

And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
One more time.

05. Enemies - Lyrics:


Listen up

There's not a moment to spare
It's quite a drop from the top
So how you feeling down there
It's a cold, cruel, harsh, reality
Caught, stuck, here with your enemies

Who do you think you are?

Tearing us all apart
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run

You got the world on it's knees

You're taking all that you please
You want more
(You want more?)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share
You want more
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies!
Enemies!

You started something that you just couldn't stop

You turn the ones that you love
Into the angriest mob
And the one, last, wish is that you pay for it
And there's, no, way you're getting out of it

Who do you think you are!

Tearing us all apart
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run

You got the world on it's knees

You're taking all that you please
You want more
(You want more?)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share
You want more
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies!
Enemies!
Enemies!

Where did you think you could go

'Cause everyone already knows
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run

You got the world on it's knees

You're taking all that you please
You want more
(You want more?)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share
You want more
(You want more?)
But you'll get nothing from me

You got the world on it's knees

You're taking all that you please
You want more
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share
You want more
(You want more?)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies
Enemies! Enemies!

06. I'm Not Alright - Lyrics:


All dressed up

In a white streetjacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can't have it

Paper airplanes

Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

I like to stare at the sun

And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line

And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

All messed up

And slightly twisted
Am I sick or am I gifted

Paper airplanes

Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

I like to stare at the sun

And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line

And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

Woh

I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Woh
I can't lie

I like to stare at the sun

And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line

And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Maybe I like that I'm not alright.

07. Nowhere Kids - Lyrics:


All it takes is a main attraction

Scattered bones, underneath the fashion
Lower life on a higher plane
That's what you want, that's what there giving away

Photogenic

Come and get it
You can have it, take it all
Schizophrenic
So sadistic
I don't know, I don't know
Politician
Sick condition
Dying for a curtain call
Counter culture
Full of vultures
Bet you think I'm
What

We're going all out

So get 'em up
Get 'em up
And if you wanna take our
picture tell 'em
I don't give a fuck

No one needs you after all

That little social scene
Is just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And now your self-esteem
Ain't what it used to be

You've inspired

the birth of ignorance
the death of innocence
Guess who's back and mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well
(Nowhere kids) - 2x.
(Nowhere)

The new face of an old distraction

Another victim with the same reaction
A catastrophic contradiction at best
I know your hangin' onto zeros
'Cause you've got nothing left

Photogenic

Come and get it
You can have it, take it all
Schizophrenic
So sadistic
I don't know, I don't know
Politician
Sick condition
Dying for a curtain call
Counter culture
Full of Vultures
Bet you think I'm
What

We're going all out

So get 'em up
Get 'em up
And if they wanna take our
picture tell 'em
I don't give a fuck

No one needs you after all

That little social scene
Is just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And your self-esteem
Ain't what it used to be

You've inspired

The birth of ignorance
The death of innocence
Guess who's back
And mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well

(Photogenic)

(Schizophrenic)
(Nowhere kids)
Nowhere

No one needs you after all

That little social scene
Is just a hate machine
No one's to take your call
And now you self-esteem
Ain't what it used to be

You've inspired

The birth of ignorance
The death of innocence
Guess who's back
And mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well
(Nowhere kids) - 6x.
(Nowhere).

08. Miracle - Lyrics:


Say it once, tell me twice

Are you certain I'm alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
That tomorrow's worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive

So make a wish, and say...


Give me life, give me love

Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised

Every changing the storyline that keeps me alive

My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!

Take another look

Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are...
The miracle in me

Show me faith, like you do

I'm amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last

Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive

My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!

Take another look

Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am

I just want you to see

What I've always believed
You are...
The miracle in me

These are the moments you can't pass back

Let's turn the water to wine
One more time!

Take another look

Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are...
The miracle in me
The miracle in me
You're the miracle in me.

09. I'll Follow You - Lyrics:

If I could find assurance to leave you behind

I know my better half would fade
And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Opened out of this space
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down

You can have the money and the world

The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound

I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm

Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down, while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down to wherever forever lies
Without a doubt am on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
Am not about to comprise, give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep I'll keep you close to me!

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you...

If I could find assurance to leave you behind

I know my better half would fade
I'll follow you down.

10. For My Sake - Lyrics:


I remember like yesterday

You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I'm missing those days again yeah I'm missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine should be taking the blame
Cause it's raining on me again yeah it's raining on me again

A paradox

The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...

Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up

Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake
For my sake

Tell me something that's poetic at best

Make me believe there was a time that you weren't like the rest
And I'll never ask you again, and I'll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I'm leaving that all behind
And there is nothing gonna change my mind

A paradox

The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...

Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up

Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake
For my sake

A paradox

The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough's enough

Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up

Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake

I'm never lookin' back, for my sake
I'm never lookin' back, for my sake
I'm never lookin' back, for my sake.

11. My Name (Wearing Me Out) - Lyrics:


My name is worthless like you told me I once was

My name is empty cause you drained away the love
My name is searching since you stole my only soul
My name is hatred and the reasons we both know

Worthless, empty, searching, hatred

Well who am I right now?

You're fuckin' wearing me out!

You're always dragging me down!
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out

My name is screaming like the sound of your heart failing

My name is loco like the motive that betrayed me

Screaming, loco, don't say you know

Who I am right now

You're fuckin' wearing me out!

You're always dragging me down!
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out

You're wearing me out

You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out

You'll be ancient history

But who am I right now?

My name is revenge and I'm here to save my name


You're fuckin' wearing me out!

You're always dragging me down!
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
(You're fuckin' wearing me out)
It's over
(You're always dragging me down)
It's over

You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind

I don't need a dollar to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out.

12. Through The Ghost - Lyrics:


Speak of the devil look who just walked into the room

The guilted and faded notion of someone I once knew
All the perfect moments are wrong
All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away

I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
Of a world we'll never know
The world will never know you like I do

So many silent sorrows you'll never hear from again

And now that you lost tomorrow, is yesterday still a friend?
All the bridges that we built will burn
Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away

I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
So the world will never know
The world will never know you like I do

Like I still do


Did you hide your self away

I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
Of a world we'll never know
The world will never know you.
