The sound of the teardrops is overwhelming.
Where did your temper go?
Feel the lightning, we’ll lose if we’re divided.
I have tried a thousand times to follow the whispers.
There’s no haunt beyond the lights, only flies.
The void is real.
This time we’ll not recover after the raid.
We will stay in the shade.
I’m nothing but a lover without the strength to supplicate.
Trapped in these walls.
We have crossed the door.
Will you fix this mess?
Carve your nightmares across my chest.
If the spark is gone,
Don’t say anything.
I’d repeat that mistake.
I’m no savior in disguise, although I’ve insisted.
There’s a song for your demise, so take the prize.
The void is real.
This time we’ll not recover after the raid.
When will you join the blaze?
I’m nothing but a lover lost in the haze.
You better leave this place.
Proud sucker.
I’m sick of feeling sorry.
I shouldn’t have believed my wit’s innate.
Leave the corpse on the floor, you just have to wait.
I shouldn’t have believed my wit’s innate.
We can’t smile anymore. Now we’re silhouettes.
I shouldn’t have believed I could be saved.
We’re all liars in the end.
It’s our fate.
I can’t even taste the sorrow one more day.
We’re just victims of the game.
Use that hate.
I can’t even taste the sorrow one more day.

I was blinded by the colour.
Happiness is just a gleam in the cave.
Save your bullets for tomorrow.
There’s no friend behind the curtain.
These rules are sacred.
We’ll never stop the clock unless we break it.
Don’t leave before I can find a reason to stare again at the mirror.
I question my decisions night and day.
We’ve seen the castle become a prison.
I’ll take you home with my dying breath.
We can build a shelter anywhere.
Throw my body into this hole.
I’m better off alone.
We’not the same.
I can’t repair a shattered sky.
My hands will bleed all through the night.
Your wisdom is not divine at all.
Will you break the silence?
I’m sinking once again.
There’s nothing we can save from the rain.
Don’t leave before I can find a reason to stare again at the mirror.
I question my decisions night and day.
We’ve seen the castle become a prison.
I’ll take you home with my dying breath.
We will burn the fleet but not today.
Embrace the violence.
I’ll dig a grave out there.
Blame yourself.
Now the perfect ceiling’s falling apart.
I never complained.
How long will i be remembered?
So drain my blood, I’m leaving this angst aside.
Ignite the last crown.
We’re gonna drag the bones back into the sea.
I’ll keep my head down.
A promise in the darkness is all I need.
Will you just confess?
There is nothing left to say.
We were never blessed.
Growl louder.

Where did we lock the words?
I’m stuck on the pavement carrying the crown you should own.
I never noticed we were already warned.
A pledge ain’t a statement but it can fix the things I’ve done wrong.
Have you waited for a day that never comes?
I’m no longer a perfect mould,
Kiss my bruises before they show.
We’re separated by the tears you’ve ever dropped.
I don’t mind if the past is gone, this is something worth fighting for.
Keep your heart awake.
Don’t waste your innocence.
We’ve ruined a true spark and this is gonna hurt every day.
A vicious constant you’re barely listening.
I’m drowning in silence.
Now we cannot change anything.
Have you waited for a day that never comes?
I’m no longer a perfect mould,
Kiss my bruises before they show.
We’re separated by the tears you’ve ever dropped.
I don’t mind if the past is gone, this is something worth fighting for.
How long will we resist?
Hold your breath for a minute.
There’s blood on the ground, we can’t just ignore it. So kill me first.
Let’s break the wheel tonight.
We’ll write a better story.
Pray for it.
This place ain’t a fortress anymore.
Take my hand ‘til the morning comes,
We’ll be safe when the bridges fall.
Be straight, you won’t let the phantoms go.
I don’t care if you pull the rope, you are someone worth dying for.
Caught in a rose haze.
We’ll fall in love again.
I just remember a veiled shape, so carry me there.
And now forget ‘bout the rest.
You can cut the thread.

Cellophane

Your might’s a fading desire.
We can’t believe in the same rites.
I was fooled by the sights,
When all we’ve got are bodies and solved crimes.
Drown my heart ‘til the teeth cracks,
Like the will was divine.
The hymns lie.
This time I’m not gonna trust anyone.
I’ve heard the question despite the blare.
We can dance through the monuments they’re blowing, knowing where we started.
Raise the barricade,
You won’t find an answer.
We’re victims of decay.
Help me control the pain,
I’m crawling to stay another day.
Although you claim we’ll escape from that maze, there’s a piece we can’t replace.
My lungs are wrapped in cellophane.
The deal’s not fair, I’ve lost myself on the way.
We have nothing else to say.
The leaves are falling everywhere.
I see the razor coming.
You can wear the ring for a minute.
Now I’m surrounded by horses and wolves,
The sirens have sounded.
Kiss me when you feel the lightning,
It’s not too late, we’re wide awake.
I will cross my fingers anyway.
Although you claim we’ll escape from that maze, there’s a piece we can’t replace.
My lungs are wrapped in cellophane.
The deal’s not fair, I’ve lost myself on the way.
We have nothing else to say.
The leaves are falling everywhere.
I’m over it. I’m over it.
Break the spell of the master.
I’ve waited where the sky begins.
Words don’t mean a thing.
Don’t let the pressure grow.
We can’t hide the wounds anymore.
Burn the friends we’ve adored,
My hopes are long gone.
This time we'll sink the grief in the snow.
Do you feel safe?
We’re fucking animals.

We’ll never know how to climb the top of the dome.
(The more I kick, the less I float)
Some relics cannot be restored if you’re not grateful anymore.
Well, this belief has gone too far.
I’ve been charmed by a cruel desire.
Leave the path before it hurts.
We can’t win tonight without a fight.
Refuse the throne, here the dreams are getting old. Now I’m alone.
This prayer’s nearly over. Sing along.
I’m walking blind on the darkest side of the mountain. Did my time expire?
The bells are sounding,
We’ve counted a thousand scars.
All fear’s effective.
I’m gonna taste that deadly wine.
I can’t keep every step in mind.
Hide a knife beneath the surface, we’ll bleed the same in the aftermath.
Refuse the throne, here the dreams are getting old.The sky is falling.
I’ve tried to change the story for so long.
Don’t be silent,
I’ve seen it all before.
Are we saviours or have I been wrong?
I’m the one to blame.
This love will break us all, honey.
So never let me go.
I can’t pretend here’s where we belong.
The waiting is suffocating.
I’m not afraid, we’re just moving on,
So never let me go.
Follow your heart again.
We’ll stop the hurricane.
We’ll stop the hurricane.
I’m a ghost with a different name.
I can’t pretend here’s where we belong.
The waiting is suffocating.
I’m not afraid, we’re just moving on,
So never leave me if I go under.
