How do you sleep at night?
Knowing what you've done
Guilt must consume you every day
Morally corrupt
In the name of power lust
Feed the need
You crave to have control
Sin; caught in the weakest moment
You’ve sold your soul
Fear; the consequences
Your actions all exposed
Repent; no absolution
Too late to confess
Now; the broken pieces that you hold
Destroyed by power lust
You're the fraud, the cheat, the conn
The walking fallacy
The arguments don’t stand up any more
The myth created then
The tainted legacy
History will judge you
For the one who would be king
The man who sold the world
All to seize control
Sin; caught in the weakest moment
You’ve sold your soul
Fear; the consequences
Your actions all exposed
Repent; no absolution
Too late to confess
Now; the broken pieces that you hold
Destroyed by power lust
Sin; caught in the weakest moment
You’ve sold your soul
Fear; the consequences
Your actions all exposed
Repent; no absolution
Too late to confess
Now; the broken pieces that you hold
Destroyed by power lust
Power lust
Destroyed by power lust

Last Time We Say Goodbye
04:51
|
|||
|
Don’t wanna make the same mistake again
Don’t want my heart to break again
Don’t wanna look at you & see you cry
I’ve had enough of pain…
We could have everything
Can’t live on what we have been
Love either works this time
Or we say goodbye…
And loving you filled the
Emptiness in my heart
But baby, are we ready?
For another start…
Here I am, lying all alone
In this house, that me made our own
Thoughts & memories of you
Drift inside my brain…
Tell me baby, what did I do?
I’d give anything just to see it through
Love either works this time
Or we say goodbye…
And loving you filled the
Emptiness in my heart
But baby, are we ready?
For another start …
And loving you filled the
Emptiness in my heart
And if we can’t have forever
Then it’s the last time we say goodbye
I want you (I want you)
I love you (I love you)
I miss you (I miss you)
I need you
Oh but baby, are we ready?
For our last goodbye…
Our last goodbye…
Our last goodbye…

Cause baby I love you, do anything for you
Don’t go now, I wanna play house with you

The Perfect Dream
03:43
|

|
I had the perfect dream
And that dream was you
But when I woke, it wasn’t true
I found myself
All alone
Reality, came crashing down on me
In the very end
I won’t mean anything
To my dream, I might as well
Not exist
What’s the point of these?
Helpless and…foolish hopes & dreams
The thought of you
Just being here with me
Day by day
It fades away
I should let go
For my own, sanity
You were never meant for me
You are some other one’s
Perfect dream

Virtue Signals
03:51
|
|||
|
You…you don’t care
About me
You just do what you want to
And your.. aim in life
Is to please...only yourself
Your virtue signals
They mean nothing
You just throw them around
At the designated time
How it shows
Just who you really are
You…you feel so good
So damn proud
Now your ego’s been stroked
But I...I know you
And what you’re about
How you don’t care
Your virtue signals
They mean nothing
You just throw them around
At the designated time
How it shows
Just who you really are
Your virtue signals
They mean nothing
You just throw them around
At the designated time
How it shows
Just who you really are
Ah, ooooooo
Ah, ooooooo

Splinters

|

|
I wish…that you’d
Make up your mind
Tell me where
I stand…with you
Keep me here
Or let me go
I love you
But you…don’t
Time to let you go
Before I choke on all your splinters
I hope…that you’d
Be true with me
Not tease me
But I know you
You keep me around
Because you’re lonely
I love you
But you…don’t
Time to let you go
Before I choke on all your splinters
Sitting on the fence is your
Only way to deal with this
All it does
Is give me splinters
You give me splinters
You give me splinters
You give me splinters

Under Pressure

Mm-noom-ba-deh
Doom-boom-ba-beh
Doo-boo-boom-ba-beh-beh
Pressure pushin' down on me
Pressin' down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets
Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh
Dee-day-da, ee-day-da
That's okay
That's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watchin' some good friends screamin', "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Da-da-da, mm-mm
Da-da-da-ba-bum
Okay
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee-doh-ba-buh, ee-da-ba-ba-bop
Mm-bo-bop, beh-lup
People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-day
People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on the fence but it don't work
Keep comin' up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love?
'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

War
08:38
|

Another blow for silence
Another blow for peace
Another blow for freedom for us all
Another blow for beauty
Another blow for love
Another blow for hope in this world
War! War! We are at war!
War! War! Always at war!
War! War! Never ending war!
War! War! Always at war!
Another win for anger
Another win for hate
Another win for fear & division
Another win for violence
Another win for pain
Another win for death & suffering
War! War! We are at war!
War! War! Always at war!
War! War! Never ending war!
War! War! Always at war!
WW2
I remember when…when were young
And unafraid
All so full of hope…and fools to love…
With nothing to fear
But that’s when I knew
How it would be
How we would suffer & die…in the end
It’s human nature…to destroy ourselves
We’d rather kill…
Than be free…
WW3
Love has failed us now…
We’ve surrendered all hope…
Fear has spoken out..
Hate will conquer and divide us all
Starts with They began it…
Finishes with We’ll end it…
No surrender…
Show no mercy
Locked & loaded…
Target in sights…
Pull the hammer…
Squeeze the trigger!
It’s all over…hahahahaha!
It’s all over Now!!
