Evidence 04:34
(yeah yeah yeah) I wanna go to Hell I wanna go where Life is hot 'Cause in this Heaven I'm so cold I'm old, the everyday' news of a slave Doing exactly what he's told (yeah yeah yeah) I don't need to kill to go to prison This one has gourmet food The yard is much more violent And the inmates are much more cruel "Rape me, I'm a little pussy Rape me, I'm a little pussy" I'm a mouthful of misery An accomplice of your butchery (yeah yeah yeah) History is nothing but evidence We're killing minds, along with time Mocking our own existence I don't need to go to school To learn about indecent fools I'm a freelance broken human I made sure I'd forget your rules, yeah I'm a mouthful of misery An accomplice of debauchery Treat me like a dirty whore But be sure this means War (And we all say) "Rape me, I'm a boring corpse" Yeah, yeah I'm a mouthful of misery An accomplice of your butchery Treat me like a dirty whore But be sure this means War (yeah yeah yeah)

We´re all what we seem, alive and like pimps Sucking the throats out of old men, tamed Boiling a stranger, to trip and to tanger Surviving is playing an audacious game So keep dressing nice, keep your teeth aligned You can borrow a suit and never feel fine in it Like a shoe with no sole that makes you slip in the way You feel your weight and soul coming back to slay "Resting on the porch" (The story of a tale) The story of a tale of a... dream Anything is good when bad comes along the way Put a price on the monkey, we can buy our trip to Space Time is fat, but fast to reach the anguish... quay Feeling the pinches, of sizes and inches Butchery´s not a hopeless case You thought it was easy, but care killed the cat Better run to survive this evasive chase So keep dressing nice, keep your teeth aligned You can borrow a spoon and turn it into knives A loner with no poles, a leopard with no goals You can rot on the shore and never see this... whole... Anything is good when bad comes along the way Put a price on the monkey, we can buy our trip to Space Time is fat, but fast to reach the anguish quay Killing what you are earning and what you´d be someday Breathing like the wind, already left alone

Crash 03:29
Thrill gets the taste of a midnight sugar chase A chemical breeze hitting a pathetic face Playing & stealing, it's the life of them rogues you don't know Keeping us sane, together & alone We couldn't get caught for stealing what we own No, no The best thrill of all is when the crash hits the wall Control can be stopped, when you're out of your mind Out of your body, out of their road 'Cause Life is a trip & we need an overdose Oh, you oppose No, no The best thrill of all is when the crash hits the wall No, no The Big Man wants you on your knees Our Mother wants you to be free Symbols are there so you can't see The meaning of what you're supposed to be What you're supposed to feel No, no The best thrill of all is when the crash hits the wall No, no When you think you know what you don't know at all You're owned. Owned.

(shaking what's left of our brains) Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake! So easy to follow the path of Illusion When Truth starts to fade and your lies become clearer There's no escape when your dreams become bigger than Life Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake! So hard to accept, consider or deliver Your bitter, bitter, bitter just like her/hurt Heading towards misery Thriller, Thriller-Killer "No escape! No escape! No escape! No escape! No running away from what they've created" So rely on God and on TV The stars they made up are so happy, in shape No flaws or failure, they call it Reality You'll be falling when your brain starts to break No, there ain't no talk before the night 'Cause at daylight everyone's sleeping So rely on God and on TV The stars they made up are so happy, in shape No flaws or failure, call it Reality You'll be falling when your brain starts to break It's not about Time or Distance (no escape, no escape) It's the death of a soul that's whispering (no escape, no escape) Screaming might scare the vultures, up there (no escape, no escape) Spying on our warm safe beds Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!

I see you're desperate for a lie, 'cause you can't stand the truth What you thought was beautiful is just an ugly surprise Changing places won't change your Mind, it's an endless road for you The answer was always there, but you never realised It could've been something, turns out it's nothing You've got better things to do (And you don't know why) You want everything, though it's just a plaything You can't get through I see you begging for a smile, but which one will you choose? 'Doesn't matter where you go, you just want the prize You seem so selfish & pretty... and you are But sometimes Beauty can be the perfect disguise It could've been something, turns out it's nothing You've got better things to do (And you don't know why) You want everything, though it's just a plaything You can't get through (You're talented, bright 'Think Bliss is a novel, you being the bride And Love's a word you chew & spit) I'd love to watch you grind (You're talented, bright 'Think Bliss is a novel, you being the bride And Love's a word you chew & spit) I'd love to hear you cry You're worthful & tasteful 'Til Dirt is in the shovel, you being the victim, And Love's my favorite crime: "Goodbye, Sweet Lie"

I have learned some TV skills, how to want & how to kill What I need is not how I... feel, but I was born out of steel They got me wires instead of veins, the mind can never go insane I can never feel deranged, I always feel... all the same Killing the time I have left Pressing the buttons of my machine heart Existence is all I have left Living seems so sudden, to my machine heart It feels too real, it might hurt. If I rust I'm in Disgrace, my human heart has been replaced In the world that doesn't care, I'm a robot feeling out of breath Killing the time I have left Pressing the buttons of my machine heart Existence is all I have left Living seems so sudden, to my machine heart It feels too real, it might hurt Well, I've been there & it's not fair, not again Feelings are tyrants setting my world in flames It might hurt. All this time I lied and stared Turning off my mind instead Close to Life and to Despair, All this time I lied and stared Look at me, so failed and square. Killing the time I have left Pressing the buttons of my machine heart Killing is all I have left Loving seems so sudden, to my machine heart It feels too real, it might hurt I've been there, without a care, not a plan I'm growing tired of living dead in this game Without an end Now, where's the future plan? I'm not doing what I can Are we doing what we can?

Broken Law 05:39
They say you'll get a big prize, a big balloon For all the time you spent alone in your room Trying to figure out how to survive In a big world, so square (Round is their lie) "Son, create something, maybe a Brand" - New Leech Pick the tool, don't be fool, don't be... screwed Don't you get caught in the incoming noose They're selling everywhere, here in the Zoo Yes, My claimant is real, you've got to open those eyes Ignorance is a broken law, only for the wise Don't you get why? They say "Pick a career, my dear, 'Cause life is about overcoming fears", While pointing a gun at your pretty head, Going "Do as I say now, are we clear?" Do you want to know a secret? Well... turn on the news You don't even need to search for it It's right in front of you Yes, my claimant is real, you've got to open those eyes Ignorance is a broken law, only for the wise If you can tell the truth, you're surely brave enough to lie And all we do is try, but there is more to Life than to lose And it's making us feel so vile Don't you get why?

I don't think you want us fighting you anymore But who will wake up humans for the defects of your sick war? Heads are rolling, minds are rocking Well, this is a show & it certainly is mocking Our great existence (we're better sleeping) We're still so distant (we keep on dreaming) With our failed brilliance (we're better sleeping) Where has the light gone to? You've been searching for the Sun While Darkness points the gun It blinds you, what to do when every move might kill? Your heart was thrown out, your mind became a sell out To that Corporate Love, old enterprise (not wise) A Dead Soul with numb legs, detached from the real facts The dangerous side-effect No big resistance (we're better sleeping) Lost to chained patience (we're also steaming) No big assistance (we're better sleeping) Where has Life gone to? You've been searching for the Sun While Darkness points the gun It blinds you, what to do when every move might kill? Your head is rolling, your mind keeps fading Well this is a circus, it's free & walking Through the city's darkness, so dead & artless Mocking our great existence (we're better sleeping) We're still so distant (we keep on dreaming) With our failed brilliance (we're better sleeping) Where has the light gone to? You've been searching for the Sun While Darkness points the gun It blinds you, what to do when every move might kill, When every foot is still & Future's on a pill? Where's the truth if we can't live or feel, And the heart is a business deal?

Slow Guns 05:06
(The World is like the set of a million dollar film Ready for the investment, ready for decoration. Too busy with acting, rehearsing the line: “You are Free!" And we all play the small role, we are the prop, We are the forgettable character with no lines We’re there to fill the Hole.) We are all running from Time On our way, committing crimes Convenient mistakes - no alarm The mind's a bomb we need to disarm And it's making us sweat & shake Home is where lies leave no trace We can buy houses & cars Have a child, chase the stars Nothing's ours in the Colony Where true Love is a currency Is there anyone out there truly free? Is there anything true you've already seen? They're feeding dirt to the wise, compromising humankind They're running free, stuck in their own parody You can turn left or right There are only deceiving signs Just a man looking in your eyes Selling the latest device There's no Space, there's no Time Only slogans, wicked rhymes If you want skills you take the pills If you want work you blow the jerk And it's making you sweat & shake Is there anyone out there truly free? Is there anything true you've already seen? They're feeding dirt to the wise, compromising humankind They're running free, stuck in their own parody Life is a stitch always open, waiting for its healing prize While it gets infected by Advice, By the malice of them parasites

I've always been dealing with this pain And I don't know why some pleasures remain I wanna get high but the offer's too low It's in every body I think I know I've always got the feeling they're in my back Following me, only to strangle my neck The Friend, The Mistress/Mistrust, the love for the business The Business of Love is leaving me homeless, Making it pointless. Expectation Is making me sweat, I've got no time to lose No time for regrets Relation 'Ships are all sinking I never knew how to swim, I just drowned on the drinking I can't pay the rent for the rest of the ride "Get a grip, get a wife" - buy a house full of knives And crooked stairs, so crooked, To steal the ground when I'm there The tale, The Princess, the lust for the Guinness "The record for love, it shows on my excess" Expectation Is making me sweat, I've got no time to lose No time for regrets Relation 'Ships are all sinking I never knew how to swim, I just drowned on the drinking The world is spinning 'round, without a sound Mouths shut, slicked hairs, "Suit up, boy, don't be late" Too much noise & ugly tunes Forever Inn, a motel room With one nightstand for The Doomed Expectation Is making me sweat, I've got no time to lose No time for regrets Relation 'Ships are all sinking I never knew how to swim, I just drowned on the drinking Vague Sensation, what is new will get old You embrace is as Truth, 'til it gets out of control Exploitation, my blood is dropped on your bowl You can take it away 'cause I'm still hanging on to the soul "Oh, the business of Life" The business of lies.

It never felt this lonely since my fake love went away I never felt so done & only if I could set it straight But words are so deceiving, even if you understand their meaning Words fail 'cause Truth is enough to see (unbearable to keep) It never felt this empty, I thought that fullness would save me But now I'm full and indisposed, Exposed to the light that doesn't set me free (Free? I'm not fucking-free) I've never seen the Devil's horns in the Angel's eyes Fake Beauty always caught me by surprise I never had wings, I always set them on fire And the dream that I know has retired And I'm tired of feeling hopeless, helpless Well, "Less" is a lesson they taught me to keep me on my knees And all the things I know now All the Bullshit I see now All the pain I love, somehow All the pain I love somehow "Let the burden go Let the bourbon flow Let The Sudden glow You gotta let that burden go" Let the burden go, alright "How can a soul wake up, Stuck in a realm where Misery is the mother of Invention?" Let the Burden Go. Why can't a soul be awake in a realm Where Love transcends all comprehension? Let the Burden Go Let the Burden Go Let the Burden Go Go! Go! Let the Burden Go. (Hidden track - "Perception Deception")
