01. Audio Secrecy

[Industrial]

02. Mission Statement

Just this once, I will go to the front.
I will let you all disagree!
You won't last, all you've got is the past.
An overnight shotgun that fucked up the dream
No excuses and no surprise.
The real McCoy is a look in your eyes!
I don't rate, they can alienate this American selfish everything!

We're the breakdown, I will break ground, on original sin!
Suddenly I'm on the right side, in the middle of nowhere again!
I am in your hands - I don't mind - 'cause I don't understand
I am in your hands - I want you all to tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I...

Just in case, it's an arrogant fate.
'cause I know you all wanna see!
Here's a test and you're a dire bet.
No one feels like you and screams like me! (yeah)
All confusion and all control.
The real McCoy isn't real anymore!
I'm amazed at the innocent taste of America's selfish everything!

We're the breakdown, I will break ground, on original sin!
Suddenly I'm on the wrong side, in the middle of nowhere again!
I am in your hands - I don't mind - 'cause I don't understand
I am in your hands - I want you all to tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am!!

Somebody Tell ME!!

I am in your hands - I don't mind - I don't understand
I am in your hands - I don't mind - I don't mind!!
Oh, I am in your hands and I don't mind 'cause I don't understand
I am in your hands - I want you all to tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am! (tell me who I am)
Just tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I.. am! (tell me who I am)

Tell me who I am!!

03. Digital (Did You Tell)

Oh save us all again from a cynic's Armageddon
When your mind didn't want to break, your rusty mouth consented
I think you're all afraid - too afraid to admit pollution
Now there's no easy way to avoid such a hard solution

Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?

Here we go again with a brilliant overreaction
My advice isn't gonna change - dysfunction over fashion
I think you're all ashamed - too ashamed to admit your faults
No daylight in the bunker - just darkness in the vaults

Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
There's only one way out of this
But do we have the nerve to try?
Cuz there is no way out of this
If all our answers say goodbye

Goodbye - there's only one way out of this
But do we have the nerve to try?
Cuz there is no way out of this
If all our answers say goodbye

Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say... goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?

04. Say You'll Haunt Me

Little supernovas in my head
Little soft pulses in my dead
Little souvenirs and secrets shared
Little of guard and unprepared

I was never good enough to find
I was never bad enough to mind
In the middle I will do my best
Take me in your arms and leave the rest

I will give you anything to

Say you want to stay, you want me to
Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me
I want to know I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

Little variations on my page
Little doors open on my cage
Little time has come and gone so far
Little by little who you are

I can see the patterns on your face
I can see the miracles I trace
Symmetry in shadows I can't hide
I JUST WANT TO BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

I will give you everything to

Say you want to stay you want me too
Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me
I want to know I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me
[2x]

Together, together we'll be together, together forever
I BELONG TO YOU
[2x]

Little supernovas in my head
Little soft pulses in my dead
Little souvenirs and secrets shared
Little of guard and unprepared

I will give you everything to

Say you want to stay you want me too
Say you'll never die you'll always haunt me
I want to know I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me
[2x]

Together, together we'll be together, together forever
I BELONG TO YOU
[2x]

05. Dying

It's only common sense so please don't take offense
I gotta say what's on my mind
Cuz all this bitterness has made me second-guess
And I have waited all my life
You know it's true - it isn't me, it isn't you
I can't be your man
But here's what I don't understand

If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

You leave me suffering 'til I can't feel a thing
It's all I got when I want more
If I waste one more day then they can take me away
Cuz it'll be worse than it was before
You know it's true - it isn't me, it isn't you
I can't be your man
But here's what I don't understand

If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

Oh, if I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing... what are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you - I don't wanna live without you
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

06. Let's Be Honest

Oh disaster - I know I'm long overdue
There's no answer - I know I shouldn't have listened to you
Before I let you decide, you have to know that I lied
I only do what I do

Let's be honest - I watched you walk away
You went off to find - anything else - anything less
On your own...

Oh the Karma - I know it's coming for me
Oh no harm done - except as far as the eyes can see
The only issue for me, as cavalier as it seems
Is how you handle extremes - you never bother
Before I let you destroy - the very world I enjoy
You gotta do what you do

Let's be honest - I watched you walk away
You went off to find - anything else - anything less
I guess...
I´m only honest - I'm only here to say, yeah
You've been gone so long - everything else - is already less
On your own...

I'm a Slave - I will Beg
All I want is something better - something that is safe
You can say - you will stay
But I know fucking better - you will never change

Let's be honest - I watched you walk away
You went off to find - anything else - anything less
I guess...
I´m only honest - I'm only here to say, yeah
You've been gone so long - everything else - is already less, I guess
Let's be honest - I watched you walk away
You've been gone so long - everything else - is already less
On your own...
On your own...

07. Unfinished

While my hands are tied behind my back - you save the best and put me last
I've given up on giving you my heart
I fuckin' hate it - You're jaded - Think about the times we faked it
And realize that we tore this place apart

But there's no... reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
We're not finished!

With my fingers crossed behind my back - I let your words slip through my cracks
This person you perceived is dead and gone
I fuckin' hate it - I waited - We can scream for the hell we created
But this time I won't let you get me wrong

Cuz there's no... reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
There's just no... reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you

Oh, you wanna hurt me before I go - you wanna break me down
But you'll never hear me - you'll never feel the way I feel
We're not finished here!

Cuz there's no... reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
There's just no... reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you

08. Hesitate

You were my fire, so I burned... til' there was nothing left of me
I... I touched your face, I held you close... til' I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up... just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me...

Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate

Now... now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one... we were everything
I'm still here... but I'll just keep the rest for me

Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate

We never made it... you hesitated... I don't believe

That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate
Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate - hesitate

You were my fire, so I burned... now there's nothing left of me...

09. Nylon 6/6

You stay locked in your head while you're raising the dead
All your neophytes hanging on everything you said
You can take it from me since you took it from me
Even now, the shadow I cast won't set you free

Do you feel your essence through the pain?
If you lose your conscience...

Take away the last of your woes that you're setting in stone
Well, your cover is passive-aggressive and blown
This is not about you, because it's all about you
You're out of luck... 'cause this is me not giving a fuck

Do you feel your essence through the pain?
If you lose your conscience...

Just save yourself to sacrifice
A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Will you concentrate to realize your fate
Because - we want more - we want more

Be/what you want/to be/get away/you're free
What you want/to be/get away/you're free
What you want/to be/get away/you're free

Just save yourself to sacrifice
A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Will you concentrate to realize your fate because
Oh, just save yourself to sacrifice
A little truth for the cause, for the blame
Will you concentrate to realize your fate
Because - we want more - we want more
Because - we want more - we want more

10. Miracles

I've seen it all and I know better -
I've felt the bitterness and pain
My soul keeps changing like the weather -
the only constant is the rain
I've known your black and white intentions and there's no room
For shades of gray
I never asked you to conform to me...
I only begged for you to stay

I waited here tonight for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here

I still have dreams that we're together
And I can still taste your skin
Reminders all around surrounded by your light -
I don't want to die again
I don't deserve to be discovered -
I don't deserve to know you care
I only want my promised other... not someone who isn't there

I waited here tonight for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here

Oh, I waited here all night for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
I waited here all night for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here...

11. Pieces

Can you tell me how far I've come, and can you tell me
Where I've been?
Never stopped - I knew I should have run but now I don't
Remember where I am
All my life I've been holding back - consider this my
Last request
Everything for all my best...

Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Open up your arms and save my life
I know I'll never go home again
I need a little more but I will take what I can get
I promise you everything... everything
Just don't forget me in the end

Right in front of my face, and in between our little wars
This was something I couldn't have and that just made me
Want it more
Now I know the reason I was built like this
Now I know why I am here... I am here for you

Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Open up your arms and save my life
I know I'll never go home again
I need a little more but I will take what I can get
I promise you everything... everything
Just don't forget me in the end

Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Open up your arms and save my life
I know I'll never go home again
I need a little more but I will take what I can get
I promise you everything... everything
Just don't forget me in the end
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Open up your arms and save my life

12. The Bitter End

Black line run against the center of another dying sun
A situation where the Lie's behind the Truth
Come together and deny the fucking proof

I'm ready to Surrender - Surrender - Remember - Forever is
Over now

If I can't stop you, I'll never get to start again
If I don't watch you, I'll never see the bitter end

Nail my soul to the middle of a cross that fills this hole
I never understood the Written Word
Don't forget that I'm not aware of what you heard

I'm ready to Surrender - Surrender - Remember - Forever is
Over now

If I can't stop you, I'll never get to start again
If I don't watch you, I'll never see the bitter end

Hold it high... show the sky your destiny
Close your eyes... and burn away your hate
Hold it high... we can feel our prayers as we
Close our eyes... we can take the world away

Forever is over now
Forever is over now
Forever is over now

If I can't stop you, I'll never get to start again
If I don't watch you, I'll never see the bitter end

Hold it high... show the sky your destiny
Close your eyes... and burn away your hate
Hold it high... we can feel our prayers as we
Close our eyes... we can take the world away

13. Imperfect

Some things are better off forgotten
We bury them in places that we really only visit by ourselves
Oh you were a version like no other
Oh they never tell you what to do when all you see is gone
What's the sense in anything when what they say is wrong?

Oh what do you want to hear?
Do you know how many times
I tore myself apart cuz you're not here?
Oh why do you want to know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go

Stop me... I find myself believing
A story gets rewritten so a blasphemy's permitted once again
Oh and you were so perfectly imperfect
Oh they never tell you what to do when all you have are lies
What's the sense in anything? It's just one more goodbye

Oh what do you want to hear?
Do you know how many times
I tore myself apart cuz you're not here?
Oh why do you want to know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go

Oh what do you want to hear?
Do you know how many times
I tore myself apart cuz you're not here?
Oh why do you want to know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go

14. Threadbare

Hold your breath and say goodbye - you never say a word
When you feel like your heart's gone wrong
When you feel like you've stayed too long... it's over
Letting go has let you down - just let me show you why
Every life is a chance to try
We can live like we both can't die

Oh in all this time
I never wanted to destroy a dream come true
And in all this time
I never wanted to destroy someone like you
I want you to stay
So give me a sign - give me your hand - I'll take you home

In the dark, we're all the same - we only seem alone
There's a place where we all must hide
There's a place that we lock from the inside... when it's over
Everything we ever were and everything we are
We will heal as the days roll by
Cuz in the end... it's you and I

Oh in all this time
I never wanted to destroy a dream come true
And in all this time
I never wanted to destroy someone like you
I want you to stay
So give me a sign - give me your hand - I'll take you home

We are sewn inside the fabric that is holding us together
We can only pray that something so tragic will save us all
Will save us all - We are on our own again
We are on our own again

Oh in all this time
I never wanted to destroy a dream come true
And in all this time
I never wanted to destroy someone like you
And in all this time
I never wanted to destroy
A dream come true
And in all this time
I never wanted to destroy
Someone like you

I want you to stay
So give me a sign -
Give me your hand -
I'll take you home

We are on our own again

15. Hate Not Gone

I'll get by and I'll try - I gotta walk across my grave
And I'll die - I'll die - spit a grin... right in my face
I'll fight - I'll fight - my eyes refuse your gods
I can't lie, so I'll lie - your change of heart is all for show
Your lack of self-control is all you know
It's over now, but you can't let it go
You can't begin to know the lives you hold
My Hell is running cold...

This hate is not gone -
You make me want to start a war
Because you waited so long -
You don't know what you're fighting for
I know this hate is not gone -
You have no right to be here

I wanna smoke, so I'll smoke - a calm before the storm
And I'll break, cuz I'm broke - still pissed... still fucking bored
And I hope - oh, I hope - you will finally go away
I know - God, I know - your change of faith is all for show
Your lack of self-control is all you know
It's over now, but you can't let it go
You can't begin to know the lives you hold
My Hell is running cold...

This hate is not gone -
You make me want to start a war
Because you waited so long -
You don't know what you're fighting for
I know this hate is not gone -
You have no right to be here

It's all for show
Your lack of self-control is all you know
It's over now, but you can't let it go
You can't begin to know the lives you hold
My Hell is running cold...

This hate is not gone -
You make me want to start a war
Because you waited so long -
You don't know what you're fighting for
I know this hate is not gone -
You have no right to be here

16. Anna

Tell me again why you're running away - do you need me?
Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay - do you believe me?
Maybe I can't be the man of your dreams - but I can save you
You were never really gone and it seems that you can feel it too
We won't see the stars if the sun is in our eyes... so don't look so surprised

Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Would listen to a fool like me
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
And show you that you'll never be free
You're not supposed to feel this wright
One is always better if you can't have two
Now that I have nothing while can't have you
You left me once - don't you leave me twice
Cuz no one is alone - no one is alone

Tell me again how I'm on your mind - you're always on mine
Tell me it's really just a matter of time - and I'll believe a lie
I can't see the sun because your stars are in my eyes... so don't look so surprised

Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Would listen to a fool like me
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
And show you that you'll never be free
You're not supposed to feel this wright
One is always better if you can't have two
Now that I have nothing while I can't have you
You left me once - don't you leave me twice
Cuz no one is alone - no one is alone

Oh what am I gonna do - you feel so wright
Nothing is forever if it can't be true
Now that I am nothing I have to have you
You loved me once - you better love me twice
Cuz no one is alone - no one is alone

Tell me again why you're running away - do you need me?
Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay...

17. Home Again

You might have changed but all I can see is how you're the same
Behind that face are beautiful things and terrible ways
Remember - I remember - we were everything and nothing together
But I can't stay... and I can't get away

Can anybody hear me? Can anybody live like this?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody love someone but pretend that they don't exist?
I can't be wrong again
I never agreed to see this to the end
I can't go home again
And if I'm wrong then I know that I'm home again

Too much to lose - I'm choosing to learn and learning to choose
We find our faith according to lies, according to clues
Remember - I remember - we were gonna burn the world together
But I can't stay - and I can't get away

Can anybody hear me? Can anybody live like this?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody love someone
When they know that they don't exist?
I can't be wrong again
I never agreed to see this to the end
I can't go home again
And if I'm wrong then I know that I'm home again

Oh, I can't be wrong again
I never agreed to see this to the end
Oh, I can't go home again
And if I'm wrong then I know that I'm home again
Then I know that I'm home again
Then I know that I'm home again
