We won’t stop listening
As long as we are blindfolded

Clenching my fist
Raising my voice
We won’t allow
Misery once more
Once this elite
Held you down
We won’t allow
Their story to be told
What we’ve said, what we’ve built
With our hands and with our pride
They’re stepping on it
Until everything stops
We’ll just bite the bullet
And do our thing the only way we know
Be it accepted or denied
Clenching my fist
Hardening my skin
We won’t allow
Misery once more
Once frustrated, now fired up
We won’t allow
Our friends to be let down
Other times, other tries
Tirelessly heating the fight
But they’re still laughing, and we get tired
Losing our focus, life tore us apart
How long has it been since I last smiled?
Probably months, years
To endure this social pressure, to vomit despair
After spending evenings to drink, I will not be myself
Pretending to have an interest in things, and knowing that I don’t care
Being here, but belonging to nowhere
Attracted by some place, and not knowing where it is
Or if it even exist to begin with
I can finally feel anger again
Invading and turning lights on one by one
The dark rooms once overheated
Are being put to use again
And so are you kidding me? Is this what we earned?
Using us for your needs and then throwing us out like a piece of junk?
You will decay along with us, inside your golden coffin

False convictions
Raised by the thinking heads
Making me fucking sick
Streets are dark and blue
And masses are loud
Assuming they are heard, as usual
This noise wall
These fake arguments
But why right now?
Awake and sleeping
At the same time
But why right now?
False perfection
Lying on biased ideals
Starts to crack from both ends
My caring has reached
Its limits and I
Can’t make a single move
To stop this act
Quick steps hammering the streets
Heavy silence followed by screams
Birds are fleeing over my head
And I’m still not moving
I just can’t shout loud enough
To drown out a thousand voices
False convictions
More vivid than before
Making plain questions flow
Am I the one being deceived?
Am I the stupid one pretending
To know the facts, to bear the truth?
What a joke

Spare me the disrespect, the chess play the complex
His panicked face is tensing the phase
The discrepancies fall under our lead
Using the facts we make them look fake
Through all the games
The convict
Speaks of nothingness
And drowns in time
Of all the truths that remain sealed
Some of them will be revealed
What we placed, what we raised
Why we can’t erase
Unfolding the score
Revealing the scars
What we placed, what we raised
Why we can’t erase
Wielding the truth oath
Holding the right book
What we placed, what we raised
Why we can’t erase
Through all the games
The convict
Speaks of nothingness
And drowns in time
Spare me the disrespect
There’ll be no second chance
He likes to cause a stir
Searching for his way out
The game is broken off
Fooled by choice
The game is broken off

Blood’s been washed
Kids are playing outside
While I’m looking at
The cracks in those worn-out walls
We all try
To bury painful memories
But I can still recall that
After the fight – we won
Because they fell – we won
Through all the tears – we won
We lost a lot but we won
Starting from today we’ll strive
For a way of living away from their grasp
The clean road is just up ahead
But clouds can quickly come
Sin can devour us again
We have to avoid that bait
To hold onto our last vow
We are starting to watch
Every face and every soul
Suspicions have awaken
We all are becoming so
Paranoid
This feeling is shredding us alive
And making us forget that
After the fight – we won
Because they fell – we won
Through all the tears – we won
Can we still say that we won?
What is this uneasy feeling growing inside of me?
I’m having nightmares of that day like I used to
The sky slowly darkens and crows get restless
The old curse is coming alive once again
Rain gives birth to torrents of mud
Engulfing everything in their brown jaws
Frail constructions crumble like piles of cards
Leaving a trail of wreckages and blood

The fool is led astray
By his knowledge
This pretended wisdom
This so-called experience
Are a waste
I can feel everything
Slightly more out of reach
And unclean blood flowing
Plague of the heart
As no one’s caring
Blade of the soul
Has dulled forever
Suddenly accomplishments fall
Usefulness is just a fancy dream
Usual white ceilings
Bristly forest of tubes
I can’t fucking breathe
Small things are crawling outside
I can sense their slightest movements
There’s no stopping it when stuck in a bed
Waiting for them to find a way to
Breach my skin
And invade my rotten flesh
This is forever lost
Damn your pitiful looks
Leave my room
Do you dignity
Bothering me eternally
And taking light away?
Plague of the heart
As no one’s caring
Blade of the soul
Has dulled forever
Suddenly accomplishments fall
No more praise, no more raise
I will be my own reaper
