Watch the world burn We live in a rotten system Corrupted to the bone We are governed by the puppets OF GREED, LUST AND POWER THIRST It has always been like this Since the dawn of times You think we would learn the lesson BUT I’M STILL WONDERING WHY How long are we Going to watch the world burn How long until We put it out Maybe we should Ignite more fires To quickly finish To burn it down I’m getting sicker and sicker Suffocating with the smoke Lies and manipulations I AM ASPHYXIATING In the name of their economy They would do anything Without minding danger WE ARE THE ONE SACRIFICED How long are we Going to watch the world burn How long until We put it out Maybe we should Ignite more fires To quickly finish To burn it down I wanna stat a riot And smash everything down Blow up this entire system So new things can rise From its ashes How long are we Going to watch the world burn How long until We put it out Maybe we should Ignite more fires To quickly finish To burn it down

Flawless 03:35
I’ve always played by book and its cover I’ve always tried to be the best I could ever But for an absent minded person like me (All of) this isn’t always easy All the times when I woke up late All the times when I missed the date (For) all the stuffs I forgot to bring I’m sorry but nobody’s perfect And I’ve tried so hard to change me Tried to be organized but I’m messy Ideas flying all over the place It appears I’m not that flawless I know I look pretty steady Focused and straightforward To be honest it’s so hard to keep Up appearances I’m not flawless When I get organized for too long There’s always a breaking point My mental workload gets too heavy My brain is freezing it’s compulsory At some moment I’d say “fuck it” Or something like “maybe we’ll see” There’s too much on my plate right now Fuck off and just leave me be And I’ve tried so hard to change me Tried to be organized but I’m messy Ideas flying all over the place It appears I’m not that flawless I know I look pretty steady Focused and straightforward To be honest it’s so hard to keep Up appearances I’m not flawless

Watch out, there’s a new threat coming One of us has been decapitated They wish I could fear them But all I feel is grief They won’t get my freedom They won’t even get my hate It’s just a bunch of fools But no one should have to pay I don’t wanna live In a world of uniformity I don’t wanna feel All the hate that I can see I just wana live In a world of integrity I just wana feel Hope and joy Cause this is not a war Do you really think We should answer by force We need a long term plan And not a quick fix Instead of pitting us against each other Why don’t we join hands together Take the problem at its source And educate them all I don’t wanna live In a world of uniformity I don’t wanna feel All the hate that I can see I just wana live In a world of integrity I just wana feel Hope and joy Cause this is not a war Exclusion, alienation Has never been efficient Inclusion, communication Makes everyone find its place in our society I don’t wanna live In a world of uniformity I don’t wanna feel All the hate that I can see I just wana live In a world of integrity I just wana feel Hope and joy Cause this is not a war

The Killjoy 02:11
You’re living your life as if you were sixty People acting stupid make you sick and bitchy It’s sad right now you are only 20 Sometimes I think you’re from the 19th century It’s something you can’t understand Life is short our time is running out I don’t want to have regrets I just wanna make the most out of my life You wish you could control everyone But don’t try with me, you know I’m not the one One day you will shut me down Do as you wish I don’t give a shit It’s something you can’t understand Life is short our time is running out I don’t want to have regrets I just wanna make the most out of my life If you see something new it will scare you Talking to stranger would paralyze you There’s hardly a thing you can enjoy This is because you’re just a killjoy x2 Sometimes you’re so narrow minded That it makes me sick now I see you as blinded. It’s something you can’t understand Life is short our time is running out I don’t want to have regrets I just wanna make the most out of my life

Now pray for my soul There’s a bunch of teenagers In the hallway outside waiting for me Now I’m on my own There’s no one there to help me The only person I can count on is me Now they’re coming in I don’t know any of their names I don’t know what they are going to be Do you think they can feel How fast my heart is beating How thirsty I am, on the point of breaking down I am the one, the one in charge And I don’t know, exactly What I’m doing They have to follow, to follow me down To the place I’m guiding them to Eventhough I don’t know what’ I’m doing Now I’m a few months old And I’m facing down a wall I feel that I shall not overcome I feel like giving up But what else would I do To hell I have to go through I am the one, the one in charge And I feel that What this challenge may be too hard for me Too much responsibility Too much pressure Can I be the one they need me to be A new school year Is coming by Will I be better Or will I still suck As new students Come into my class now I can feel I belong with them I am the one, the one in charge And now I know exactly What I’m doing They have to follow, to follow me down To the place I’m guiding them to And this time they can count on me Whoho, Whaho
