This is the place i live in
It has windows and some bedrooms
It has nurses and two cleaners
But no mothers an no fathers
It's a school without lessons
And a garden not a yard With some trees
Under which she sits It has brothers and some sisters
Different needs for everyone
Some of them are covered
We've all found ourselves in a place worse
Some may say we're free
Things ungrateful people say I believe i like it more
When i'm being ignored
Staring at the world from my window
Feeling cold due to the morning's winter breeze
That makes me feel like i don't need to sleep
Socialisation start me up
Backpack's on the day began
The morning doesn't last forever

Backpack

Hello morning's painful breeze
Everything is blurier than ever
Anticipating a failure
Caring these two smokey lungs
While healing crumps
And waiting for the sky to fall on my head
Everyone rise now
And wait for me to pass
The king of hearts
Misguided problematic friend
Get up stand up
(And carry it with you)
Till it gets soaked in the rain
(Your backpack's your heart)
With all the problems you carry with you
Remaining hidden
Pick up a smile
(And take it with you)
Something to make your day
(Till you will laugh)
At all the problems you carry with you
Then your day's ended
And then you sleep on a lie till the next day comes

Maybe one day i'll wake up
With my sunglasses on
Protecting me from weird eyes
And from kind words
Cause people can make a god out of you
But not for too long
Can i really expect more
Sometimes i want to stay in the bedroom forever
So many people and yet they do not care
They read newspapers
They come back home
And watch a show or two
I want to tell the ones i've lost
I don't want to be like everybody else
But how can i
When they can't listen
Only stare
From high above
And even when i close my eyes
The faces i see are not complete
A malfunction of heaven maybe
But who really knows
So now i'm in heaven and they're in heaven too
When i'm in heaven they'll be in heaven with me
And they're in heaven and i'm in heaven now
And they're in heaven with me
I am in heaven and they are with me
I do not care
Maybe i will walk a higher path
And when i die
They will call me their son
And when i die
I will be the only one that was not left behind
I wish when i die they'll regret their ignorance
I'll make it for myself
And on my own
I'll finally become that one
That everyone admires
And i'll be lucky cause i'll owe it to no one
And it will be a gift to those who weren't
Behind me when i learned to walk
Weren't in front of me when i learned to talk
Weren't beside me when i missed my goals
But not by choice

King Of Fools
03:08
|

When i get out my doorstep
I feel so afraid of the one's i don't know
When i see people laughing
I don't know for sure if they're laughing at me
I hide in my mask of taughness
As if i only need myself to be strong
I have people to admire me
And i know how special is my mask for them
I am the king of fools you know that i stay
Everywhere i'm liked
I am the king of fools I know that i preach in vein
Cause you will never listen
I am the king of fools you know that i think
I am the only one
Who is a king of fools and doesn't admire himself
Cause he knows it means nothing
When i'm with other people
I'm the best of beggars of compliments
Sometimes when i'm rejected
I spend time erasing my old enemy
The side of me that is honest
The shadow of everything i should have been
I'm the one you slightly like
But first let me introduce myself
I am the king of fools you know
I don't care if i'm not free
I am the king of fools you see
There is nothing in me worth to keep
I am the king of fools tonight
I tried to end my life
I am the king of fools you know
I'm running forward to wall
I am the "you know who" you know that i will
Soon be crowned as king
I'll wear a crown of paper cause i'm the best of all
In lying to myself
I am the king of fools and i can trick you
Into believing i'm true
I am the king of fools the modern standard of
A Desperate lonely liar
I am the king of fools my kingom is dust
But i'm happy anyway
I am this mask cause i can't stand on my own
And i don't want to hurt no more

Paper Crowns

So here we are again my friend
With your pure blank pages
I'm gonna tell you again about
My late night melancholy
How did i end up like this
Why do i always screw up
Is it just because i'm dumb
Or because i don't care?
I don't know just what to do
I don't know
How to make myself the one
She asks for
Now i feel it's in my veins
The only drug that's wonderful
Every time i want to be drugged
It is always there for me
Just when clouds of no-belief
Cover all my feelings
It's alright to have a place
Where you won't be by yourself
I don't know if i lie anymore
I don't know how to cry when i must
Let's go down to where we drown
Let's go down to no-man's land
Let's go down to where we drown
Let's go down cause i don't care
Let's go down hand by hand
I don't fear the eternal darkness
Let's go down to where we drown
Let us burn our paper crowns
I feel that apathy again
That destroys my happiness
And i don't know the reason why
This is happening to me
I don't know what's right or wrong
And i'll never learn
What forced me to put my faith Into her two hands
I don't care if i only do what's wrong
I don't know if what is wrong is in my thoughts
I don't care what will be cause my throne
Is my high hopes the dreams that i know
Won't ever become true
Let's go down to where we drown
Let's go down to no-man's land
Let's go down to where we drown
Let's go down cause i don't care
Let's go down hand by hand
I don't fear the eternal darkness
Let's go down to where we drown
Let us burn our paper crowns

Make The World As One
04:07

You who see the world as the worst of prisons
You who seek as i seek free of all fears
You who lies weakened half dead fearing of treason
You who's ridiculed enough searching for solutions
Come and make the world as one
He who shares the brightest words full of belief
And she who tears apart her flesh in disbelief
We together shall rise up and change our dark fate
This surreal perfect dream we should all believe in
Come and make the world as one
Rumbling friendships break to pieces
But together we're indeed better than alone
Lonely hearts scream out in despair
Just like mine so take it from me
Come and make the world as one
(You will make the world as one)

Mrs Pumpkin

Another time i saw you with the face on
And didn't know if you disapprove the one i came to be
I know you're kind of disappointed by the way things turned out to be
Or maybe just not too proud of me
Do my habits offend you?
Or maybe does my face remind you of someone you have never met Are you scared of recognising yourself when you're with me?
You locked yourself into our room
Screaming your lungs out
Believing this could change a thing
But knowing that it won't
While i fight my other side
The one i think i only see
The one that wants more than what i give him
You tried to help me with my fight
But i can see it in your eyes
You don't believe in me anymore
And i'm alone again I'm willful to move on
Now that i see that you give up
Now that you know who i am
I didn't even hide it from you maybe you chose to love my mask
Mrs Pumpkin don't go away
You'll miss the coming end
This mask has no eyes no lips
It's the only one that you chose to show me
You won't paint me with any colour
You won't sing me any song
Is it possible that you've been decieved
Or it was your plan from the start to change me?
Mrs Pumpkin worry not I don't hold the knife that stabs you
It is you that wasn't careful
What it was that you wished for
You depart and softly slip In the quiet of our nursing home
And i fear the sound of the closing door
Something tells me it's the last time i hear it
Now we're apart I'm not sure what i am
The star we hid
Burned us when we touched it
These are our broken hopes
That are now bleeding crawling on the floor
We killed them together even though we're not both wrong
But we could never change a thing
I haven't been in your room for so long
I've forgotten how it feels to be exposed
These are the first lyrics i'll never show you
You'll soon forget how you felt when we kissed
I'll never stare at the sun without you
Give your blessings to my confession
So you are gone and i now remain
Without the courage to remember
So i'm still afraid of my blood
And i don't wanna bleed no more
I'm not cold-hearted no I'm just a coward
Mrs Pumpkin in your veins
Flows the blood that will never rot
And your face's immortal
As long as i see it And i still justify you
But Mrs Pumpkin it will kill you
This world you love

Witch

Woke up in a hurry
A car's engine screaming outside
While your voice was singing
An unknown tune to me
Saw you dancing outside
While our window endured my blows
It's true you leave me behind
Waving your way outside
My voice is cracking from fear
At least stare at me before you go
You stood to comfort my pain
Threw five fingers in the air
Gave me a smile that i'll never forget
All these chances for a way out
(But you promised )
I would give away again just for you
(That you won't leave me)
You are for me all i wanted and more
(Yesterday we swore we'll be each other's safety boat)
That's how it's ending in the first day of summer i feel cold
(While today you left me to drown alone)
Why do you smile
Wild witch you lied
You found new life
And i cry denied

Paranormal Doll

Paranormal and unwanted
I stand in my night cell
I lost here tonight the player got the lot of me
A shadow on the wall shapes the warmest hand
Is it his hand that i fear or is it the hand of regret?
I stand proudly in the hand of my handler
Playing in a game i can't really control
I'm the inelible pride in the face of the player
Staining the hopes of the ones that i love
I wonder if the need to escape is real
Or if these pills are used like a paintbrush to paint
The guilt in the eyes that don't stare at me anymore
You are not worthy of the gift of death whisper my fears in my ears
I crawl a paranormal doll
Begging for the love i need
I crawl a paranormal doll
Begging for it
Will the pills in my stomach be the end of my trip
Or is it true i can't resist the offer of life
I dream of the moments i haven't yet lived
Puking his pride from right inside of me

Aliens

This is the train that leads the way towards insanity
This is the way for you to lose control
The subway lights will light the way
(Mind's sick conquered by fear)
Stations desire an endless rail
(The body dies of smoke and alcohol)
The mind has lost control
(Of the smoke the dope the mind's design)
Breathe captivity in me
Breathe the desperation
Smell the reason why i do it
Smell it on my clothes
Touch torn skin and broken ribs
Car is driving downhill
Believe that i don't care to die
The hypocrisy
Demon's in the bottle
Grim Reaper's in the smoke
Nicotine's injections
Mind's puking teeth fall
Hell the dirty empty room
Lacks the warmth of hellflame
It will take care of some wounds
The illusion of the boiled soup
I fall asleep now at last
No one's gonna wake me
Rumbling temple's my new body
Struck by thunderbolt
Endless losing of beloved ones
Causes hair to fall
The reflex of self-destruction
Active by fault
But i'm not scared of my own blood now
And i will bleed on you
Rumbling temple's my new body
Struck by thunderbolt
Endless losing of beloved ones
Causes hair to fall
The reflex of self-destruction
Active by fault
But i'm not scared of my own blood now
And i will bleed on you
It's the feast the great chance to
Bleed the king for free
So shower with my own blood now
Take my limbs to eat
Rumbling temple's my new body
Struck by thunderbolt
Endless losing of beloved ones
Causes hair to fall
The reflex of self-destruction
Active by fault
But i'm not scared of my own blood now
And i will bleed on you
Take my limbs to eat now
And take my blood to drink
Take your spirit off my room
Carve your absence on the door
Send your grief in hypersounds
We're on different planets now
Wish we'll meet again on Mars
See what happens when Aliens love

The time and place for regret
The cuts in the face that are not easily healed
The blood on the glass that won't let you forget
And now i know that
Every memory i've ever built will go down as history
A knife that will stab me hard every time i remember
A wound that establishes me as a victim of myself
I can't give away the present to correct the past
And so my present becomes more painful every time
I understand that i'll never have the chance again
I know the guilts will stop when i feel more sorry for myself than i feel for you
This is the range between the eye and the broken mirror
