Why can’t I give up
I’ve had enough
I’ve seen too much
My lungs are full of broken glass
My ribs are made of steel
I am a mess I’m a failure in the shape of success
I drown myself everyday but not deep enough to
Break down
I know
I said I’d save you but who’s gonna save me now
I know
I said I know where I’m going but I don’t know where I am
Sinking deep enough to feel the ground
I’ll master this pain that’s raging in my vains
Sinking deep enough to feel the ground
I’ll master this pain that’s raging in my vains
There’s no way I’ll surrender now
That I know what I must do
To make myself complete
Reminisce no guiding light
The sky is close the night is blind
Close my eyes
Hope to die
I’m made of steel but I'm made of glass
Why can’t I give up
I’ve had enough I’ve seen too much
My lungs are full of broken glass
My ribs are made of steel
Sinking deep enough to feel the ground
I’ll master this pain that’s raging in my vains
There is no way I’ll surrender now
That I know what I must do
To make myself complete
I’ll have to die to forget
I’ll have to die to forget what I know now
My eyes are wide open
Why can’t I give up
I’ve had enough
I’ve seen too much
My lungs are full of broken glass
My ribs are made of steel
I am a mess I’m a failure in the shape of success
I drown myself everyday
(x2)
Reminisce no guiding light
The sky is close the night is blind
Close my eyes Hope to die
I’m made of steel but I'm made of glass

Oh I can never win this game
There’s a darkness at the end
Should I even try to stand
Oh I feel the waves crashing again
It’s a never ending circle
From passion to pain and from pain to void
Want the crown but we don’t want to reign
We want all the best by doing all the worst
Making the wrong moves but wishing for the best
Every day we tie this nose a little more around our necks
But it takes more to fight and it takes less to run
We keep on wishing for a better day to come
So many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep
Not realizing how great my life really is
I came to forget (how could I forget)
How humbled I should feel
Look at yourself
Is your life such a nightmare
Is the air in your lungs not enough to remind you
What a blessing you received
Look all around
There’s a world outside your pain
The sky always look dark
If you look at it eyes closed
It’s hell all round ‘cause
I’ve waited so long to change
It feels like my fall was always part of my selfish plan
So many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep
Not realizing how great my life really is
I came to forget (how could I forget)
How humbled I should feel
Look at yourself
Is your life such a nightmare
Is the air in your lungs not enough to remind you
What a blessing you received
It’s a blessing you received
Oh I can never win this game
There’s a darkness at the end
Should I even try to stand
Oh I feel the waves crashing again
It’s a never ending circle
From passion to pain and from pain to void
It’s a never ending circle
From passion to pain
Oh
I am the one that you’ve never been proud of
Fuck your distrustful vision of my future
I’m proud of myself
I am the one that you’ve never been proud of
(All I’ve become is no thanks to you)
(I’m proud of myself)
Fuck your distrustful vision of my future
I own my mistakes I own my achievements

No rest for the wicked
Darkness is pulling your strings
We’ll see just how low you can go with no damn self esteem
Sinking deeper
Crawling slower
Wanted to shape your mind like mine but broke myself instead
No matter how hard you keep stabbing i’ll never turn out dead
You keep stabbing
You keep stabbing
No matter how hard you keep stabbing I’ll never turn out dead
I will never turn out dead
There is this thing inside of me that can’t accept your misery
Your grave gets deeper
It’s like a fire in my bones and as you know it’s killing me
No way to save you
You made sure that i was unbreakable
Before you started to break me
And i can’t take it now
As things unravel there is no place to hide
Made sure your mask has fallen so there is no waste of time
Love know and despise
It goes in circles again
Love know and despise
I just can’t understand
You made sure that I was unbreakable
Before you started to break me
And i can’t take it
Your soul is dark as coal you’re unreachable
You keep on trying to break me
It’s vain
Cause I will never turn out dead
You keep stabbing
You keep stabbing
No matter how hard you keep stabbing I’ll never die
(x2)
A constellation
Of knives in my back
A desecration
Of all that we had
You made sure that I was unbreakable
Before you started to break me
And I can’t take it
Your soul is dark as coal you’re unreachable
You keep on trying to break me
It’s vain
Because I’ll will never turn out dead
You made sure that I was unbreakable
Before you started to break me
And I can’t take it
Your soul is dark as coal you’re unreachable
You keep on trying to break me
It’s vain
Because I’ll will never turn out dead
(x2)
A constellation
Of knives in my back
A desecration
Of all that we had

Droplets of Sun

Rise up
From chaos we rise above the oceans
Out of dust we crawl and linger
Inside this vast mind we are dwelling
Until the fire consumes us
Like droplets of sun
Through the night we shine bright
Once and for all
And as the rain comes pouring in
I see I’ve done more than I should
I’ve done more than I should
I see I’ve done more than I should
For order we thrive
Like ants running around
The plan is but confusion
We live for ourselves
But we’ll leave all alone
Like droplets of sun
Through the night we shine bright
Once and for all
And as the rain comes pouring in
I see I’ve done more than I should
I’ve done more than I should
I see I’ve done more than I
(x2)
We will finally collapse
Staggering in pain we’re leaving
Our world will collide
As we let go of life
Like droplets of sun
(Like droplets of sun)
I see I’ve done more than I should
And as the rain comes pouring in
I see I’ve done more than I should

Staring into this light
Wondering have we seen it all
Can we go much further
Have we seen it all
These great specks of dust
Stacked against each other
Until obsolescence separates us
This whole is so much more
So much more than the sum of its parts
How can nothing be so much
Our design unravels
Unconscious of itself
This will of power with which we’ve been blessed
Miserable things shaping this masterpiece
Under the Aegis of our conflicts
(Sometimes we run out of guidance and we think we’re lost but there’s a way)
I can see you doubt
But I couldn’t fear a thing
(We run around in circle but this will inside it drives us anyway)
I can see you run
But there is no way to hide
(Sometimes we run out of guidance and we think we’re lost but there’s a way)
Your doubt
But I couldn’t fear a thing
(We run around in circle but this will inside it drives us anyway)
Don’t hide
There is no way to
Staring into this light
Wondering have we seen it all
Can we go much further
Will we rise or fall
Stare into the abyss
Long enough so it stares right back
Can we go much further
Will we rise or fall
Will we rise or fall
I know for sure
We will be
Be what we must be
We will be what we must
Greatness always finds it’s ways through us
Watch us grow and shape the land
The human god is dead
But if creating’s divine
There might still be some god in us
The universe was all along
The god of creation we’ve been looking for
Listen not to answer but to understand
As we make sense of this mess
Staring into this light
Wondering have we seen it all
Can we go much further
Will we rise or fall
Stare into the abyss
Long enough so it stares right back
Can we go much further
Will we rise or fall
(Sometimes we run out of guidance and we think we’re lost but there’s a way)
I can see you doubt
But I couldn’t fear a thing
(We run around in circle but this will inside it drives us anyway)
I can see you run
But there is no way to hide
(Sometimes we run out of guidance and we think we’re lost but there’s a way)
Your doubt
But I couldn’t fear a thing
(We run around in circle but this will inside it drives us anyway)
Don’t hide
There is no way to hide
There is no way to hide from this
We will be what we must
Greatness always finds it’s ways through us
Watch us grow and shape the land
The human god is dead
But if creating’s divine
There might still be some god in us
The universe was all along
The god of creation we’ve been looking for
Listen not to answer but to understand
As we make sense of this mess
