Watch The World Burn

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

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

This is Not a War

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

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

The One in Charge

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
