01. Alive

I, I missed the meeting
Where you were appointed god
Preaching all your misguided views
Only you decide what is true

You just want me to die
Then you'll be satisfied
It's a disappointing day for you
Because I am alive alive.

Me, I'm only human
So you think you can step on me
Feeding on all of those around
From your nothing throne
You're ruling nothing now

You just want me to die
Then you'll be satisfied
It's a disappointing day for you
Because I am alive alive.

Me, I'm only human
So you think you can step on me
Feeding on all of those around
From your nothing throne
You're ruling nothing now

If you knew anything about real life
Then you would realise
You don't know anything about real life
To me that's no surprise

You just want me to die
Then you'll be satisfied
It's a disappointing day for you
You know I'm still alive alive.

You know I'm still alive alive.

02. Ten Seconds

You love the rush, the rush of the win
Risk of defeat, risk everything
Feel you can cheat death one more time
There's nothing else till you cross the line

Faster than the rest you live to be
You're at the line, cause you've got to see

Ten, ten seconds
Ten seconds at at time you feel alive for
Ten, ten seconds
Living your life in a quarter mile

Time to focus, you picture the win
The engine roars, feel the rush within
You must pursue this victory
There is nothing else you have to be

Faster than the rest you live to be
You're at the line, cause you've got to see

Ten, ten seconds
Ten seconds at at time you feel alive for
Ten, ten seconds
Living your life in a quarter mile

Time to focus, you picture the win
The engine roars, feel the rush within
You must pursue this victory
There is nothing else you have to be

Faster than the rest you live to be
You're at the line, cause you've got to see

Faster than the rest you live to be
You're at the line, cause you've got to see

Ten, ten seconds
Ten seconds at at time you feel alive for
Ten, ten seconds
Living your life in a quarter mile

Time to focus, you picture the win
The engine roars, feel the rush within
You must pursue this victory
There is nothing else you have to be

Faster than the rest you live to be
You're at the line, cause you've got to see

Ten, ten seconds
Ten seconds at at time you feel alive for
Ten, ten seconds
Living your life in a quarter mile

Time to focus, you picture the win
The engine roars, feel the rush within
You must pursue this victory
There is nothing else you have to be

Faster than the rest you live to be
You're at the line, cause you've got to see

In ten, ten seconds

Ten, ten seconds

Ten!

03. Blood And Belief

Blood and belief
They take from me my blood and belief
They take from me my blood

He was once a wolf,
Roamed and never cared,
Never wished for death
Few of us can know,
With that certainty
Where we do belong

Death was always close,
But he was so alive
When he was walking out there, near the edge of life

Then the challenge began
Changing to a man
His soul was trapped inside

Ordinary man waiting for his death
The wolf lay dead inside

Death was always close,
But he was so alive
When he was walking out there, near the edge of life

They could not stand to see
A spirit roam so free
So they condemned him to their ordinary life

See the blood and belief?

Can you see the blood and belief?
As the dead shall grieve, it shall be
When you see the blood and belief
So shall it be me

Blood and belief

They take from me my blood and belief

They take from me my blood and belief

They take from me my blood and belief

They take from me my blood

He was once a wolf,
Roamed and never cared,
Never wished for death
Few of us can know,
With that certainty
Where we do belong

Death was always close,
But he was so alive
When he was walking out there, near the edge of life

They could not stand to see
A spirit roam so free
So they condemned him to their ordinary life

See the blood and belief?

Can you see the blood and belief?
As the dead shall grieve, it shall be
When you see the blood and belief

Now you see the blood and belief?

Can you see the blood and belief?
As the dead shall grieve, it shall be
When you see the blood and belief

So shall it be me

04. Life And Death

He lay broken, broken down, and the pieces on the ground
Are where they troud and ground him further down.
Where is the glue that mends a broken man
That can't defend himself against the slings and arrows of this world?
Where has he gone? Where has he gone?
Like a circle without end, life seems to repeat again
And in the circle he is trapped alone.
Alone and then he starts to think
Just what did bring him to the brink
Is this the ending where he must begin to carry on? To carry on?

Is it life and death to you?
Is it your whole world you're gonna lose?
Is it life and death to you?
Is it life or death you've got to choose?

Looking back to face the past
To put his face up to the glass
He still remembers where he has come from.
He just spent so long on the edge
He walked along they highest ledge
He just forgot that anyone can fall So carry on So carry on.

Is it life and death to you?
Is it your whole world you're gonna lose?
Is it life and death to you?
Is it life or death you've got to choose?

Looking back to face the past
To put his face up to the glass
He still remembers where he has come from.
He just spent so long on the edge
He walked along they highest ledge
He just forgot that anyone can fall... So carry on So carry on.

You've got to choose, yeah!

Falling down's a hazard when you're standing up
And if you fall, remember that you can get up again
If you don't know where you belong
Wherever you feel safe is home
And if you're weak remember you can grow strong grow strong.

You can grow strong.

Is it life and death to you?
Is it your whole world you're gonna lose?
Is it life and death to you?
Is it life or death you've got to choose?

Looking back to face the past
To put his face up to the glass
He still remembers where he has come from.
He just spent so long on the edge
He walked along they highest ledge
He just forgot that anyone can fall So carry on So carry on.

Is it life and death to you?
Is it your whole world you're going to lose?
Is it life and death to you?
Cause it's life or death you've got to choose.

Is it life and death to you?
Is it your whole world you're going to lose?
Is it life and death to you?
Cause it's life or death you've got to choose.

05. Tearing Myself To Pieces

You tell yourself a lie and you will live a lie
You told me you could fly, I've never seen you fly

Tearing yourself to pieces
Tearing yourself apart
What are you trying to prove?
Who are you trying to prove it to?
Hiding your self destruction
Hiding yourself away
Showing everyone around you
Such a different face

You've got gear and loathing
You've got all the self abuse
And you think you caught it
From someone you almost knew

You have lost all your chances
You have lsot all your days
You can always find
Someone you'd rather blame
Decided that you would fall down
You know that it's all your fault
But still you try to make someone responsible

You don't need the things you want
You're always so confused
You don't want the things you need
Just what's wrong with you?

Tell yourself a lie, you will live a lie
Told me you could fly, I've never seen you fly
Told me you could die, I've never seen you die
Tell yourself a lie, you will live a lie
You lie you lie.

You lie you lie.

Tearing yourself to pieces
Tearing yourself apart
What are you trying to prove?
Who are you trying to prove it to?
Hiding your self destruction
Hiding yourself away
Showing everyone around you
Such a different face

You've got gear and loathing
You've got all the self abuse
And you think you caught it
From someone you almost knew

Tell yourself a lie, you will live a lie
Told me you could fly, I've never seen you fly
Told me you could die, I've never seen you die
Tell yourself a lie and you will live a lie
You lie you lie.

You lie you lie.

You lie.

06. Hollow Head

If that phone call is for me please tell them that I don't exist
I don't think I'll be missed
That call could signal danger that I might still be alive
I thought that I had died
Do you think the doctor lied?

The doctor said it's not my fault
I've been told I'm not to blame
There is just an empty space
Where there should be a brain
I'm an interesting case
Just like one that he once saw
About a man who doesn't know
He is really just a thought

The doctor said I've got a hollow head... hollow head!

The doctor said I should go home
And try to find my own safe place
That's not something I can face
Where all my feelings are my own
And everything is just ok
That's not for me
I'm really ill you see

The world is spinning round too fast
The sky is pushing down to hard
Everybody feeling scared
That they won't get the part
The extraordinary thing
Is that we are all the same
When we think we're all alone
We all feel so ashamed

The doctor said I've got a hollow head... hollow head!

The doctor said it's not my fault
I've been told I'm not to blame
There is just an empty space
Where there should be a brain
I'm an interesting case
Just like one that he once saw
About a man who doesn't know
He is really just a thought

The doctor said I've got a hollow head hollow head!

The doctor said I've got a hollow head hollow head!

07. Will To Win

Forget about what you think you know about your life
What would you have if you could have what you want
People don't even know they're truly alive
They're just sleep walking
Things unimportant to you, just let them slide
Then wake up fighting

All of them fear what they do not know
All of that fear they pour unto you

You have the will to win
The courage to fight
To get through anything

The will to win

Believe you can beat them down and rise above
Those bastards will hate you for what you want to be
They are the noose and the millstone you must survie
They're self defeating
They try and make you an outcast, a freak and a fool
So fuck them!

All of them fear what they do not know
All of that fear they pour unto you

You have the will to win
The courage to fight
To get through anything

You have the will to win
The courage to fight
The will to win

You can fold this word into a shape
A thing that will fit in your mind
Your own reality reflecting your dream
Reflecting the world that's inside

You can fold this word into a shape
A thing that will fit in your mind

Forget about what you think you know about your life
What would you have if you could have what you want
People don't even know they're truly alive
They're just sleep walking
Things unimportant to you, just let them slide
Wake up fighting

All of them fear what they do not know
All of that fear they pour unto you

You have the will to win
The courage to fight
To get through anything

You have the will to win
The courage to fight
The will to win

You have the will to win
The courage to fight
The will to win

The will to win

08. Regret

I still walk and I still breathe,
I'm not the man that I could be.
There was a hole here in my chest,
Now it's filled up with these regrets.

Is the ending written down
Before we even read the play?
And is the ending hidden there
Until we turn the final page?

If I'd learned my lesson sooner,
If I'd sorted out my head
Then I would still be with you,
And I would not have one regret.
I would not have one regret.

I still walk, I still breathe,
I'm not the man I could be.
The hole here, in my chest,
Is filled with all of these regrets.

I still walk, I still breathe,
I'm not the man I could be.
The hole here, in my chest,
Is filled with all of these regrets.

What kind of sad yesterdays
Will all of our tomorrows bring?
Will they be the yesterdays
We won't regret remembering?

If I'd learned my lesson sooner,
If I'd sorted out my head
Then I would still be with you,
And I would not have one regret.
I would not have one regret...

I still walk, I still breathe,
I'm not the man I could be.
The hole here, in my chest,
Is filled with all of these regrets.

I still walk, I still breathe,
I'm not the man I could be.
The hole here, in my chest,
Is filled with all of these regrets.

I still walk, I still breathe,
I'm not the man I could be.
The hole here, in my chest,
Is filled with all of these regrets.

I still walk, I still breathe,
I'm not the man I could be.
The hole here, in my chest,
Is filled with all of these regrets.

09. The Path And The Way

I'll find the path and the way on my own
I have before
Don't need them telling me who died for me
And what it was for

This may be a revelation for them
They don't understand my life or yours
Not conforming to all of their ideals
Makes me all wrong and them right of course

So no, I don't believe in their religion
I don't believe their sacrifice
I don't believe their hell or heaven
I don't believe that they are right about my life

People dying because of ideas
Ideas describing their god differently
It is their gods' world
So they rearrange it
Arrange it to fit
Distorted prophecies

This may be a revelation for them
They don't understand my life or yours
Not conforming to all of their ideals
Makes me all wrong and them right of course

Oh no, I don't believe in their religion
I don't believe their sacrifice
I don't believe their hell or heaven
I don't believe that they are right about my life

I'll find the path and the way on my own
I always have before
I'll find the path and the way on my own
I will open my own doors.

This may be a revelation for them
They don't understand my life or yours
Not conforming to all of their ideals
Makes me all wrong and them right of course

Oh no, I don't believe in their religion
I don't believe their sacrifice
I don't believe their hell or heaven
I don't believe that they are right

I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe

10. Soundtrack Of My Life

This is the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
The things I've seen I can't describe
This is the soundtrack of my life

Watching the movie of your life
You see things in a different light
You see mistakes and tragedies
You have avoided so easily
You see the times when there were lies
Now it's yourself that you despise
And as you see the movie play
And as you hear the words you say

It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die

Trying to be true true to yourself
Surviving your own mental health
But pharmaceuticals today
Are not what you thought they'd be
Seeking your own oblivion
But you are not the only one
Join the queue and stand a line
If there's no victim there's no crime

It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die

This is my life.

This is the soundtrack to my life
The sound by which I live and die
The things I've seen I can't describe
This is the soundtrack of my life

This is my life.
