Cut Me Up

I hate you
It’s mutual
I thought we were through
A single word from you
Cut me up
Cut me up

I hate you
It’s mutual
Through hell and high water
A single word from you
Cut me up
Cut me up

I hate you
It’s mutual
We’re hanging by a thread
A single word from you
Cut me up
Cut me up

I hate you
It’s mutual
Just go ahead
A single word from you
Cut me up
Cut me up

I hate you
It’s mutual
You have me by the throat
A single word from you
Cut me up
Cut me up

I hate you
It’s mutual
You have me by the throat
A single word from you
Cut me up
Cut me up

It’s More Fun to Be Dead

I am in a dark place …

A sense of urgency
Of limited time
Of burning up too fast
I am the one

It’s more fun to be dead

Darkness, darkness all around …

My time has come
All signs point to here
There is no denying
I’m the one who’s dying

It’s more fun to be dead

Open the windows …
Or keep’em closed …

It is bound to happen
Life is for the living
Skip the horror and the fear
Embrace the fact the end is near

It’s more fun to be dead
It’s fun to be alive …

Give It to Me

All the shit I’ve been through
Give me all you’ve got
Give it to me all
I want it all
Give it to me all
Give it all to me

Give it to me all
I want it all
Give it to me all
Give it all to me

Give it to me all
I want it all
Give it to me all

Give it to me all
I want it all

I want it all

Until We Fall

Can I breathe through this experience
That this too shall pass
When better days are always at a distance
And this is the way things are right now

Dance dance dance
Until we fall
Dance dance dance
Until we fall

Just as I am in this moment
Relaxation causes vertigo I’m falling
These are thoughts that can not be silenced
And this is the way things are right now

Dance dance dance
Until we fall
Dance dance dance
Until we fall

Confusion, anger and despair comes crawling
Just gaze into that darkness
Without this tension I’d be lost with no calling
And this is the way things are right now

Dance dance dance
Until we fall
Dance dance dance
Until we fall

Dance dance dance
Until we fall
Dance dance dance
Until we fall

Don’t Go

Don’t lie to me
I want the truth
Make me believe
Help me, I’m calling

Don’t go
No
Never let me go
I don’t want you to go
No
No
Don’t go
Don’t go
I don’t want you to go

Don’t leave me here
I’m not ready
I’m not OK
I never will be

Don’t go
No
Never let me go
I don’t want you to go
No
No
Don’t go
Don’t go
I don’t want you to go

Don’t be mad at me
I know I’m a handful
Don’t make it small
Make it just right

Don’t go
No
Never let me go
I don’t want you to go
No
No
Don’t go
Don’t go
I don’t want you to go

Rebound

We are living in a dark age, we’re going down
Like lambs to the slaughter, we’re standing in line

The first and last thought, is why should we care
We are the chosen ones, it’s not our cross to bear

There is nothing to see here, this nothing is unreal
We are moving faster now, we’re not even here

The truth is useless, just echoes from a past
Lies are all that matters now … that’s who we are

This is a rebound
We’re gonna pay

We are living in a dark age, we’re going down
Like lambs to the slaughter, we’re standing in line

The first and last thought, is why should we care
We are the chosen ones, it’s not our cross to bear

There is nothing to see here, this nothing is unreal
We are moving faster now, we’re not even here

The truth is useless, just echoes from a past
Lies are all that matters now … that’s who we are

Fallback

Fallback
Fall back when all is gone
(Lost control)
All is gone

Fallback
Fall back to memories
(Another truth)
To memories

Fallback
Fall back and fall apart
(Drift away)
Fall apart

Fallback
Fall back on our love
(Nothing else)
Our love

Rewind

Maybe I got rid of some delusions
I certainly made a few conclusions

I don’t really keep a score
There is little new in store

My journey is inbound
It’s a full rewind

Perceptive, yet unaware
I guess I’m not really here

I guess I’m not really here
I guess I’m not really here

Dream Telepathy

Machines don’t care about days and nights
They just stay idle with their blinking lights

Machines don’t care about days and nights
They just stay idle with their blinking lights

Nightmare …

At the break of dawn there’s no sweat or fear
Just a bag of bones that lies dead right here

At the break of dawn there’s no sweat or fear
Just a bag of bones that lies dead right here

The Freaks

When life is boring and gets me down
I listen to the calling of my kind
We’re the freaks we have more fun
Down below down underground

When I feel low about to lose myself
It helps to know I’m not the only one
We’re the freaks we have more fun
Down below down underground

When walls are crumbling and falling apart
I find comfort knowing they are near
We’re the freaks we have more fun
Down below down underground

Stars shine bright
Come out tonight

Still Standing

Endless lines of
Slaps in the face
Lost control of
All that matters

Sleepless nights
Eaten up inside
Time’s long gone
Battle’s lost

Still standing

Insight’s slowly dawning
You gotta play the hand that’s dealt
All pressure
Withheld

Stand still

The message is clear
And pinned to the board
Just tell us
What to do

Still standning

Fascist movement
Gaining momentum
It’s a full blown nightmare
Unfolding

Still standning

Nothing will be kept
In the end
What’s the point of
Anything

Stand still

The message is clear
And pinned to the board
Just tell us
What to do

Still standning

Fascist movement
Gaining momentum
It’s a full blown nightmare
Unfolding

Still standning

Nothing will be kept
In the end
What’s the point
Never comply

Stand still

Ashes

I won’t be here forever
Nothing really matters
Yet there’s so much to be done
And time is running out

Even as my ashes
Spread in the wind
I fear I won’t be ready
I fear I won’t be ready

Even as my ashes
Spread in the wind
I fear I won’t be ready
I fear I won’t be ready

I will leave my work behind
It cannot be undone
Though there are no regrets
There’s more I could have done

Even as my ashes
Spread in the wind
I fear I won’t be ready
I fear I won’t be ready

I’ve been keeping busy
To keep the pain away
It was the only time I had
I wish I’d spent it with you

Even as my ashes
Spread in the wind
I fear I won’t be ready
I fear I won’t be ready

Brända Barn

Sitter här å tittar ut
Ångesten tar aldrig slut
Svart å grått
Människor i skräck
Alla är vi främlingar
Titta rakt framför dej
Akta dej för allt å alla
Måste fly på nåt sätt
Från detta helvete

Brända barn – döda bland de döda
Brända barn – ingenting å göra
Brända barn – va’ ska bli av oss?
Brända barn – döda bland de döda

I hopp om att finna nåt
Försöker vi med allt
Gränserna är borta
Måste fly till varje pris
Nu e allting bra
Nu e allting fint
Tanken på morgondan
Gör mej sänkt igen

Brända barn – döda bland de döda
Brända barn – ingenting å göra
Brända barn – va’ ska bli av oss?
Brända barn – döda bland de döda
