How many times do I have to lie
Before you believe me?

Does it make you stronger to step on the weak?
Does it make you louder to silence those who speak?
You think you know everything
Don’t lose control of everything

Take a look at what you’ve destroyed
To create paradise

By the time you realize what you’ve done
It will be far too late to turn around and run
In the end, it makes no difference
You’ll never escape this life alive

Does it make you smarter to listen to yourself?
Does it make you braver to never ask for help?
You think you know everything
Don’t lose control of everything

By the time you realize what you’ve done
It will be far too late to turn around and run
In the end, it makes no difference
You’ll never escape this life alive

How many times do I have to lie?

Save the last bullet for yourself
Save the last bullet for yourself

Don’t even try to fool them- they cannot feel compassion
You’ve spent all your time acting but fiction is out of fashion

And now you’re losing touch; all sense of reality is dead
But tell me, how will you silence the screaming in your head?

You cannot make it die, don’t you dare deny
That this is the way you’ll say goodbye

You aren’t the one they want. Your reflection is twice as inviting
And as the crowd laughs and cheers, your conscience is slowing dividing

Suddenly you’re not who you are, you’re not who you thought you would be 
You’re just another disciple lost in the celebrity dream

You cannot make it die, don’t you dare deny
That this is the way you’ll say goodbye

This is where it ends, my dearest friend,
I saved a bullet for your head

I’m putting you out of your misery, I’m saving your life tonight
Speaking only in vowels, tell me if you enjoyed all the lies

Cos desperately I’ve watched over, I’ve watched as you sold yourself out
You paid a price for freedom- is that what freedom’s about?

I will never, you will never, we will never
I will never, you will never, we will never (x3)
Sacrifice myself (x2)
Sacrifice my, sacrifice my, sacrifice myself
I will never, you will never, we will never

This is where it ends, my dearest friend,
I saved a bullet for your head

Save the last bullet for yourself
Save the last bullet for yourself
I saved the last bullet for myself
I saved the last bullet for myself

Everything you know
Everything you see
The time has come for you
To face this reality

Helpless and afraid, waiting for better days to come
Restless and wide awake, staring into the sun

The sun goes down on your time here
Fading light, look on in fear

And you will not look down on me
Because I dare to believe
And you cannot tell me to change
Can you stop the power of dreams?

Take time, rewind
Watch me pass you by

Open your mind and see I’m only telling you the truth
You can trust me- the only liar here is you

The blackness is all you feel
Open your heart- the silence here is real

And you will not look down on me
Because I dare to believe
And you cannot tell me to change
Can you stop the power of dreams?

Don’t you think you know me
Don’t you think you own me
Don’t you think you know me
Don’t you think you own me

For one more day, just chase my fears away
And I will bear the gravity of all the things you say

If you give me wings,
I’ll connect our hearts with string
Dare destiny to bring
The theory of everything

And if I have learned anything at all,
It’s that you and I are the last ones standing

For one more chance, I’ll do anything to prove
My love for not just you, but all that you’ve been through

And if I have learned anything at all,
It’s that you and I are the last ones standing
And if you and I are the last one left in truth
Then move close to me, love, they’re hunting me and you

And if I have taught you anything at all
It’s that you and I are destined to die holding hands

Everything I say and everything I do
Though it’s all a lie, it’s all for you
And all the ghosts of my history
And all the pain that gave its strength to me
It belongs to you, my enemy

Take everything and throw it all away
Take you, take me, and burn away what used to be

When complications arise, you choose to close your eyes
Just think you knew all along
When tragedy occurs, believe you were never hurt
It’s all gone wrong

As if I weren’t already scared, I’ve got to find a way out of here
Make a path of my own. Fight this war alone.
As if you weren’t already gone, I’m still screaming, “You were wrong!”
Love had made me blind. Time has opened my eyes.

All the memories I shared with you
All the lies I chose not to see
In your eyes I didn’t dare to believe
I surrendered to you, my enemy

I will stand and say it’s not okay for you to change
How I live, how I dream; I believe I’ve been deceived

When complications arise, you choose to close your eyes
Just think you knew all along
When tragedy occurs, believe you were never hurt
It’s all gone wrong

It’s all gone wrong

As if I weren’t already scared, I’ve got to find a way out of here
Make a path of my own. Fight this war alone.
As if you weren’t already gone, I’m still screaming, “You were wrong!”
Love had made me blind. Time has opened my eyes.

As if I weren’t already scared, I’ve got to find a way out of here
Make a path of my own. Fight this war alone.


Vanish

I’ve spent a thousand days on earth
A thousand more in my own mind

I found what I loved most and let it destroy me
There’s a difference between feeling alone and being alone
And I found the answer inside of my heart- I let it tear me apart

I lost myself in the search for meaning
And found myself just in time to see

I found what I loved most and let it destroy me
There’s a difference between feeling alone and being alone
And I found the answer inside of my heart- I let it tear me apart

You were always right beside me
I’ve walked through this life so blindly

I will never let you destroy me, I swear
I know the secret, I know that I am prepared
As soon as I trust you, as soon as I put my heart into your care
That’s when you’ll vanish into the midnight air

I found what I loved most and let it destroy me
There’s a difference between feeling alone and being alone
And I found the answer inside of my heart- I let it tear me apart


The Lost and the Divine

This is a dream come true, this is more than I can take
All of the memories of battles and war are slowly fading away 
 
We’ll run from all our mistakes
And start a new world of our own 

Your life is just like mine
We are the same: the lost and the divine
We idolize the creature of our own design
But here it ends: set fire to the shrine

This is something I have been dreaming of, but I never thought this day would come
I never thought my dreams would turn into reality or that the war could be won
 
I will not tell you that I have been waiting for you
Waiting for this make-believe world to include
Another face, maybe a smile or two
But I’m sure I will never tell you the truth

I will never tell you the truth
I will never show this world to you

Your life is just like mine
We are the same: the lost and the divine
We idolize the creature of our own design
But here it ends: set fire to the shrine

Your life is just like mine
We are the same: the lost and the divine
We idolize the creature of our own design
But here it ends: set fire to the shrine

I’ll watch the door while you break free
Promise that you’ll come back for me
This is not goodbye, but I’m setting you free

Cos we’ve got good minds in bad health
And maybe we’re already in hell
To be fair, there’s really only one way to tell

We are on the run, 
We are sick and tired
Give us reality
 
We are throwing stones
We are seeking truth
Ever so patiently

We tear down the walls of this dream
You have trapped us inside of
We raise our fists and march as one
This wasn’t what we wanted- look what you’ve done

Tear down the walls of paradise
Rebuild the fire of freedom

How could we say no to you?
How could we ever turn our backs on you?
You’ve raised us, taught us well
Drove us straight to hell

We tear down the walls of this dream
You have trapped us inside of
We raise our fists and march as one
This wasn’t what we wanted- look what you’ve done

Tear down the walls of paradise
Rebuild the fire of freedom

How could we say no to you?
How could we ever turn our backs on you?
You’ve raised us, taught us well
Drove us straight to hell

We march through the streets at night
A revolution by moonlight 
We raise our heads up to the sky
Nothing can choke the fire inside

Cos we’ve got good minds in bad health
And maybe we’re already in hell
To be fair, there’s really only one way to tell

We are on the run, 
We are sick and tired
Give us reality
 
We are throwing stones
We are seeking truth
Ever so patiently

We are on the run, 
We are sick and tired
Give us reality
 
We are throwing stones
We are seeking truth
Ever so patiently

Fallacy

Here I am, expecting a little too much from you again

Did I think you’d stick around to watch this tragedy go down?
I should have known you’d walk away

Do you see the irony of you screaming my name
Like a fallacy?
Not blind to your disguise I hear the truth behind your lies
Take another number- get in line

Hopelessness and life’s impending end
Like a cigarette burning itself out
Hopelessness and life’s impending end
Like a cigarette burning itself out

Do you see the irony of you screaming my name
Like a fallacy?
Not blind to your disguise I hear the truth behind your lies
Take another number- get in line

Waste my time
Take a number
Get in line


Illusions

You beast! Take yourself out of your kingdom and put your head into the corner that you have backed me into.
 
I was confident enough to have hope. Then you came and you poached it as soon as I let it show.

I suffer no delusions
But you are trapped inside your illusions

You’re a forgery of everything you ever wanted to be.
And you’re walking just ahead of me, blocking all the light I see;
You found the door, but I found the key.

You found the flaw. The operation had a crack and you saw. You saw your chance and you sawed away until you cut your way through.

So tell me, what are you going to do when the light shines down on everyone but you? 

And you’re standing in the shadows
The eyes are no longer on you
You’re a part of antiquity
Take a long hard look at me now

Don’t you ever forget this sound

You’re a forgery of everything you ever wanted to be.
And you’re walking just ahead of me, blocking all the light I see;
You found the door, but I found the key.

I found the key, I found the key

You took my place and now I won’t forget your face
Your kingdom is crashing down all around you and now
I can’t help but recall how you drank the blood right from under my skin
And I paid the price for you to live inside your illusions.

You’re a forgery of everything you ever wanted to be.
And you’re walking just ahead of me, blocking all the light I see;
You found the door, but I found the key.

I found the key, I found the key

You’re a forgery of all your heroes and all your dreams
You’re a forgery of all your heroes and all your dreams
You’re a forgery of all your heroes and all your dreams
You’re a forgery of all your heroes and all your dreams
