Never wanted to see it from the bright side
I didn't care, I didn't have the time
Life is too short to stop and look around
All I knew was that I had to do everything at once

Do this, right here, right now
Don't care if that's the price I have to pay
I'll worry about it later cause maybe I won't live another day

Why must I die?
You're living, you're taking, you're giving, you're breaking
It's not enough you're alive and it's a misery
Can't take it, can't fake it, I won't run away and hide

Don't count me out 'cause I'm not here to drown
Don't count me out, it won't get to me
Don't count me out, I'm not here to sit around and rot
Don't count me out

I don't know where I'm heading, just know where I've been
There's no use fighting nature 'cause there's things you can never win
I don't look back, full speed ahead, I'll do it 'til my neck snaps
I don't have nine lives to live so I'll use the only one I ever had

Why must I die?
You're living, you're taking, you're giving, you're breaking
It's not enough you're alive and it's a misery
Can't take it, can't fake it, I won't run away and hide

Don't count me out 'cause I'm not here to drown
Don't count me out, it won't get to me
Don't count me out, I'm not here to sit around and rot
Don't count me out

Welcome to my world
Dark side of the universe
I'll take you for a spinthe mayhem begins
The media mouth is feeding and chemical youth is screaming
The circus starts to rollthere's no turning back
You think it's right you made your mind

I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
time will never change
It's the same old song
The same old song
That's playing again
The same old song


Your soul is burning bright
High hopes of future sight
Beyond the horizon lays a world that's so black
They try to shape your mind
And make you walk the line
Don't let them steal your dreams
It's all that you've got
You start to doubt
You change your mind

I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Times will never change
It's the same old song
The same old song
That's playing again
The same old song

Don't wanna heart it no more

Time to do this
Time to do that
I've got an offer
You can't refuse it
Just stick with
And I'll push you
All the way to the stars


Can't take it no more
The same old song
It's playing again
The same old song
It's playing again
And again and again
The same old song

. . .


Why are we never satisfied
The grass is always greener on the other side
Fear of never having enough, dreams that turns into rust
Sometimes it's better to leave things alone
The road to success is hard and cold

I'm turning into something I don't wanna be
I've got a feeling that something is changing me
I can not let it all slip away
It's driving me insane

I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away

Fighting the battle that's growing within
It doesn't matter if I lose or win
It's getting to the point where I can't get away
I can not let it all slip away
It's driving me insane

I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away

I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine

I can't believe my luck is bleeding
My demons refuse to let me go
The light in the tunnel I see is fading
My fire of life is burning low (so low)

I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away

I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine

I don't wanna be nothing
Take me from this hell I'm in
I don't wanna be nothing
My whole life I've been the only enemy

I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine


. . .


I'm not here so you can knock me down again
Things have changed and I don't want you on my mind
Don't wanna hear what you got to say
Your little world is not for me
And don't believe everything you see
It's not really what it appears to be
How can I get the message through to you

You try to break me down, I wanna clear my mind
I know, now is my time
You're drawn to suffering, I won't give anything
I got nothing to hide

I, I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Things have moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned

Now I know what you've been looking for
Another you of me so I can hate you more
You're trying to tear me up and spit me out
I'm not here so you can knock me down
I'm just glad to know that I'm done with you

You try to break me down, I wanna clear my mind
I know now is my time
You're drawn to suffering, I won't give anything
I've got nothing to hide

I, I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Things have moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned

Don't wanna hear what you got to say...
I, I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Things have moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned

I, I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Things have moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned

. . .


A journey through the space, colours, planets everywhere
We're testing our (in)sanity
A razor across our skins, dropping all these magic pills
Can't you see we're floating away

Come take my hand, we'll fly away
We'll move in silence
We'll take a trip inside our heads
Frame by frame

We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid

Can you feel the vibration now
Turn your body inside out
This is really going to hurt
Diving to the sea of hell

Can you hear the judgement bells
It's ringing for you and I
Hear how it's calling out our names
You better drop another pill
It will never be the same
We're going down

We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid to cry
We're not afraid to kiss the sky
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind

A constant replay of our lives is flashing before my eyes
A silent movie in black and white
Maybe it got too much too soon
It's getting hot as hell and we're burning up
I think we're gonna crash

We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid to cry
We're not afraid to kiss the sky
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind

. . .



I can still hear their laughter echo
And the taste of blood in my mouth
How much more can you ask for
You know I already died once before

Can not give away anymore
It's getting to the point where I want nothing at all
Everything I see just burns my eyes

Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough

You got me right where you want me
And it's creeping down my spine
All I wanted was nothing
Why don't you step aside

I don't wanna give away anymore
It's getting to the point where I want nothing all
It's scary and twisting my mind
I can not hide

Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough

Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much is never enough
Too much is never enough

I've been dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough

Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough

Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough

Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough

I am the one who chose the path in my life
I don't need you to tell me what is right
You have to learn to crawl before you walk
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger than rock
Make your mistakes and wipe it off your back
Don't you be pulling the break, it's just full speed ahead

Tear it up
Free fall from the sky
Tear it up
Kiss your ass goodbye
You're living and you're learning
Hopefully before you die

Tear it up
Crack your head
Tear it up
You know it's gonna end
You're running against the wall
Smash your face and wake up boy

How can you say that you're living your life
You don't take chances, you're just waiting to die
It's no crime to fuck around, so don't you waste your time
'cause you don't know when you'll be throwing in the towel
Taste the pain, my game, I'll make you go insane
Now it's time to let go, it's just full speed ahead

Tear it up
Free fall from the sky
Tear it up
Kiss your ass goodbye
You're living and you're learning
Hopefully before you die

Tear it up
Crack your head
Tear it up
You know it's gonna end
You're running against the wall
Smash your face and wake up boy

Tear it up
Wake up boy
Tear it up
Tear it up

Now's the time for you to understand
'cause your breathing doesn't mean you're alive
Turn it on, self control before you start to fall
Don't you be pulling the break
It's just full speed ahead

Tear it up
Free fall from the sky
Tear it up
Kiss your ass goodbye
You're living and you're learning
Hopefully before you die

Tear it up
Crack your head
Tear it up
You're running against the wall
You're running against the wall
Smash your face and wake up boy

Tell me
What do you see when you see yourself
I don't really get it
How do you make it through the day without killing yourself

Bye bye, why don't you go and
Die die, I'll fuck you up
You want me on my knees
But I'm not going down

Bye bye, leave me alone or
Die die, it is your choice
No time for games, so just leave me the fuck alone
Do you know, you're all the same

Got to play these stupid games
You're getting on my nerves, so just stay the fuck away
Who died and made you god
This time you've gone too far

I think it's time for you to understand: this is war
There's nothing to see here, I don't wanna be here
Get me out of here right now
I can not sit around and wait for you to drive me insane

Bye bye, why don't you go and
Die die, I'll fuck you up
You want me on my knees
But I'm not going down

Bye bye, leave me alone or
Die die, it is your choice
No time for games, so just leave me the fuck alone

So you think I'm unreasonable
Do you really think I am a toy that you can kick around
Don't come here, you're a waste of time
Some people never know when it's time to back away

It will come back at you and slap you in the face
There's nothing to see here, I don't wanna be here
Get me out of here right now
I can not sit around and wait for ou to drive me insane

I don't have the patience so what are you after
Do you want me to snap right now?
Some things will never ever change, like you and your ugly face

Bye bye, why don't you and
Die die, I'll fuck you up
You want me on my knees but I'm not going down

Bye bye, leave me alone or
Die die, it is your choice
No time for games so just leave me the fuck alone

Bye bye, it's your choice
Die die, I'll fuck you up
Bye bye, why don't you go and
Die die, leave me alone

Did you ever think you could change the world
The world will change you, it will break you down

It's calling me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do
It's hunting me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do

What is wrong with the world today
If it's all gonna be then I don't wanna stay
We don't care, we don't hear, we just live our lives in hypocrisy
Blinded by our greediness and our souls filled with emptiness
I had enough, it goes on and on

It's calling me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do
It's hunting me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do

Did you ever think you could change the world
The world will change you, it will break you down
Is it me, who can't be, that I want to believe
Life is too short to disagree

Fear of living alone, fear of growing up all broke
Over and over again, these scary thoughts just hunt me down

It's calling me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do
It's hunting me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do

It's calling me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do
It's hunting me, my misery
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do

. . .


I don't wanna touch what I can't feel
I don't wanna look when I can't see
Things are flying through my head
All the fucking lies that I can't stand

Someone wake me up from this nightmare
Before I'm gonna wake up dead
Every little thing that I can't control
Like a missile, seek and destroy

Cracking, breaking, I won't take it
Triggers my insanity
Trying to find the answers in my life
My mind is empty, my eyes are blind

I don't need your sympathy, don't want you to stare at me
Drowning in my hollowness
Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It's a good day to die

Aiming for the things that I can't have
Aiming high and no-one cares
Turning up and tuning in
My own battle I can't win

When will I be next in line
To trigger my soul so I can stay alive
Don't need your sympathy, don't want you to stare at me
Drowning in my hollowness

Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It's a good day to die
I don't want your gratitude, I was never good for you
Shape of the emptiness

Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It burns inside, don't be afraid
Don't need your sympathy, don't want you to stare at me
Drowning in my hollowness

Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It's a good day to die
I don't want your gratitude, I was never good for you

Shape of the emptiness
Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide

. . .


Stay away, stay away
Stay away, stay away
I'm on the road to nowhere, 'cause you're holding me down
Your urge for my flesh just scares me, don't you follow me around

You're walking in my shadows and in my shoes, every step I take
I can feel you all around, like the air I inhale
Sucking all my energy, you know you must feed off me
I'm starting to run dry

My body is all that I have left, all the things you've said
Why do you do this to me?
Stay away, stay away
You got to stay away

Stay away, stay away
I need to get away
Stay away, stay away
Get away

Creeping and crawling, drooling on me, every time I turn my head
I can't get you to disappear from me, you trap me in your cage
There's no way you're ever gonna stop, you're playing games for keeps
You're licking your wounds and swore to me, you would bury me deep

Your head is set to break me down, fuck me up and kick me out
You don't care what it takes
Vengeance is burning in your eyes, I know
What you got on your mind

I really need to get away
Stay away, stay away
You got to stay away
Stay away, stay away

Get away
Stay away, stay away
I need to get away
Stay away, stay away

Get away
I can not get away from you, I see you
You need me, I'm not sad
I can't believe it

Stay away, stay away
You got to stay away
Stay away, stay away
Get away

Stay away, stay away
I need to get away
Stay away, stay away
Get away

They tried to build a nation, greater than anyone
But what they didn't know was that someone else would have control
The mob starts infiltrating, at gunpoint they will roam
They show no mercy and the government is on their payroll

No compromising, a nation going blind
The leaders are on their knees
The third wave has just begun
The whole world is corrupted, it's spinning out of control

The third wave is on the roll
It's slipping through our fingers and rising to the top
The third wave is on the roll
Roll with me, roll with me

250 million, involved in organised crime
It's growing like a tumour, we need to find the cure in time
It's coming from the east and trying to control the west
It's crawling across the border right up to the leaders nest

Like a spiders web, politicians in their net
Strings are growing strong
The third wave has just begun
The whole world is corrupted, it's spinning out of control

The third wave is on the roll
Roll with me
Roll with me
Roll with me

It's on the roll, it's on the roll, it's on the roll
The whole world is corrupted, it's spinning out of control
The third wave is on the roll
It's slipping through our fingers and rising to the top

The third wave is on the roll
The whole world is corrupted, it's on the roll
The whole world is corrupted, it's on the roll
The whole world is corrupted, it's on the roll
