Look up and see there is nothing alive Life doesn't seem to look down so well Look up and see that nothing survives I can't tell if its heaven or hell Cut Cut Cut You should know that it's heavenly harrowing To know that everything is slowly narrowing Three Three Three, My time is coming Three Two One, Life keeps on running You should know that it's heavenly harrowing To know that everything is slowly narrowing I can't sleep but I'm already dreaming I can't break glass to fall through the ceiling Spirits can process a need to possess The poses and acts to look like they're real I can't say there is support for progress Can anyone tell if we can really feel? Can I be free and free and be free? I'm having trouble understanding myself Was there ever a time I felt like I'm me? It'll all be better when I become someone else You should know that it's heavenly harrowing To know that everything is slowly narrowing Three Three Three, My time is coming Three Two One, Life keeps on running You should know that it's heavenly harrowing To know that everything is slowly narrowing I can't sleep but I'm already dreaming I can't break glass to fall through the ceiling Fight for freedom Fight to live Fight for love Fight to remain Fight for existence Fight to continue Keep on fighting It won't be ok You should know that it's heavenly harrowing To know that everything is slowly narrowing Three Three Three, My time is coming Three Two One, Life keeps on running You should know that it's heavenly harrowing To know that everything is slowly narrowing I can't sleep but I'm already dreaming I can't break glass and fall through the ceiling

I never wanted to fight I didn't need to leave But with a breath so cold Do I deserve to breathe Am I not sick as well? Aren't we all fucking sick? So what's the fucking point? I'm with myself again I'm not trying to fake myself I'm just as lost as everyone else I'm not trying to hide my face But I just don't want to see you again I'm not saying the end or start If there's just two people would you learn to starve? This isn't what I was meant to say I pity that this won't go away I didn't need to know I never asked for that I've lost all of my paint I'm like a canvas, blank What am I meant to tell you? That my life is fine? What can I say right now? What is my fucking line? I'm not trying to fake myself I'm just as lost as everyone else I'm not trying to hide my face But I just don't want to see you again I'm not saying the end or start If there's just two people would you learn to starve? This isn't what I was meant to say I pity that this won't go away Like a mannequin Dressed up and stuck up too Like a Christmas tree In the month of June Like a carousel Spinning up and down Like I fucked up life And left it on the ground I'm not trying to fake myself I'm just as lost as everyone else I'm not trying to hide my face But I fear that I won't see you again I'm not saying the end or start If there's just two people would you learn to starve? This isn't what I was meant to say I pity that this won't go away I'm not trying to fake myself I'm just as lost as everyone else I'm not trying to hide my face But I just don't want to see you again I'm not saying the end or start If there's just two people would you learn to starve? This isn't what I was meant to say I pity that this won't go away

Is this politically active Or underachieving? Should I really be scared At the sight of you leaving? Am I really that messed up? A rhetorical question Please don't forget me I'll never forget Myself, My family, My friends Their all gone My memories, my hopes, my dreams Are just one For worship? For money? for fame? I have none I guess I'll forget the rest of this song Whatever, I guess, the stars are maligned Whatever, I guess, I'll never feel fine Whatever, I guess, the world is a starr Whatever, I guess, I was dreaming too far Whatever, I guess, I've already sinned Whatever, I guess, I never could win Whatever, I guess, if death is a knife Whatever, I guess, I am unsatisfied Though I might not have your name or your story I'm sure someone's told you That life is worth living And I might not be having my time of glory And I can't forget All the grief I've been giving Myself, My family, My friends Their all gone My memories, my hopes, my dreams Are just one For worship? For money? for fame? I have none I guess I'll forget the rest of this song Whatever, I guess, the stars are maligned Whatever, I guess, I'll never feel fine Whatever, I guess, the world is a starr Whatever, I guess, I was dreaming too far Whatever, I guess, I've already sinned Whatever, I guess, I never could win Whatever, I guess, if death is a knife Whatever, I guess, I am unsatisfied

I'm sorry that I'm writing this Because it seems I'm kind of cursed Where everyone I write about In the end will go away When I look for purpose in my life I realise that I've lost my aims And I'm not sure that I am glad That death is now a great escape In selflessness, I feel great But selfishly, I've made a mistake I probably gave away too much Yeah, more than I could give And in the end, it doesn't help That all that you'd ever do is take Not that I would ever blame you But yeah, I need to live I help things grow And then they leave me Raised so high That they fly, freely Never looking back down I never learnt to fly So maybe I am lucky then That I will never be remembered I'll fade into obscurity No one will feel me die In selflessness, I feel great But selfishly, I've made a mistake I probably gave away too much Yeah, more than I could give And in the end, it doesn't help That all that you'd ever do is take Not that I would ever blame you But yeah, I need to live In selflessness, I feel great But selfishly, I've made a mistake I probably gave away too much Yeah, more than I could give And in the end, it doesn't help That all that you'd ever do is take Not that I would ever blame you But yeah, I need to live

What's it like to be searching For the mind of the youth? How would you love to never See the falsehooded truths? Is there ever a limit Does your minds eye expire? Burn me at the stake But memories survive fire And when I'm at my funeral I'll tell you all to say Don't feel sorry that I'm gone I can't remember you anyway And when I'm at my funeral I hope you all can see That I might seem dead to you But you are more dead to me Can you live behind glass To the amusement of none? Can you ever feel proud In a war you have won? Why should value be measured in Job, money, son? Why should value be measured in Job, money, son? And when I'm at my funeral I'll tell you all to say Don't feel sorry that I'm gone I can't remember you anyway And when I'm at my funeral I hope you all can see That I might seem dead to you But you are more dead to me And when I'm at my funeral I'll tell you all to say Don't feel sorry that I'm gone I can't remember you anyway And when I'm at my funeral I hope you all can see That I might seem dead to you But you are more dead to me

I am not of england I am not of britain I am not of europe I am of the world I wont stop Until I find The world is us The world is mine I wont stop Until I find The world is us The world is mine Can you believe it now? Can you hear it now? Can you believe it now? Can you hear it now? Bottle of cope I'm left to unwind I won't stop till the world is mine Bottle of hope I can never find I won't stop till the world is mine Open the cap of fate Break down the wall again Then break down the wall again Break down the wall again Then break down the wall again Break down the wall again Then break down the wall again Break down the wall again I wont stop Until I find The world is us The world is mine I wont stop Until I find The world is us The world is mine I wont stop Until I find The world is us The world is mine I wont stop Until I find The world is us The world is mine (Repeat)

A ghost of the past Evanescent in the present The future's not ideal But we'll probably forget it What a funny little world You would kill to be alive When everyday is suffering Ask why into the sky Going through the motions Learn to look like real emotions Can I really keep devotion? When I could easily give up It's not quite a sickness Not medically an illness I'm suffering from realness I cannot not give a fuck Let's just say my life Isn't going as I planned Wrote a suicide note Scrunched it up in my hand I don't want to drench - You in all of my sorrow But I just cannot wait Until there's no tomorrow Going through the motions Learn to look like real emotions Can I really keep devotion? When I could easily give up It's not quite a sickness Not medically an illness I'm suffering from realness I cannot not give a fuck Going through the motions Learn to look like real emotions Can I really keep devotion? When I could easily give up It's not quite a sickness Not medically an illness I'm suffering from realness I cannot not give a fuck

Really? I couldn't give less of a shit But honestly it's become so hard to quit With you, I can't even write 100 words In fact I'd be surprised, if this has another verse And fortunately, I'm killing, every chance with each song I'll probably look back and think I was wrong That I'll blame myself, when really all the blame Should be on the fact, that every day's the same Try to forget, pass it on by Make me regret, that I even try Do it again, I'll stay for a year Sorry my friend, I wanna disappear Try to forget, pass it on by Make me regret, that I even try Do it again, I'll stay for a year Sorry my friend, I wanna disappear Wreck myself Just to get in a store Kill myself Well I'll never be poor Feelings quit But forever a winner Grinning shit A born to be sinner Try to forget, pass it on by Make me regret, that I even try Do it again, I'll stay for a year Sorry my friend, I wanna disappear Try to forget, pass it on by Make me regret, that I even try Do it again, I'll stay for a year Sorry my friend, I wanna disappear

This is my sit-down grammy speech Lets teach the world to be unique In an industry so drained of choice The noiseless noise is now your voice This is my sit-down grammy speech Lets teach the world to be unique In an industry so drained of choice The noiseless noise becomes your voice When you see a thousand names pass by You're often left to wonder why or who you are or what you'll be "Please don't swear on live TV" Aisles and aisles of teen pop sensations Miles and miles of a karaoke nation Hand picked to lead a generation Is anti-corporate, corporate too? This is my sit-down grammy speech Lets teach the world to be unique In an industry so drained of choice The noiseless noise is now your voice This is my sit-down grammy speech Lets teach the world to be unique In an industry so drained of choice The noiseless noise becomes your voice Lining up for your nomination For 'outstanding musical contribution' Hand picked to lead a generation Hand picked to lead a generation. Say thanks to your mum Thanks your dad The fans and the god And the troops in [WHEREVER] The group of people Who chose you not the others Your sisters, your mum And even your brother You could say more But its time to go We have to continue The rest of the show I'm sure next year You'll be, welcome back "Now please make way For our, newest act" This is my sit-down grammy speech Lets teach the world to be unique In an industry so drained of choice The noiseless noise is now your voice This is my sit-down grammy speech Lets teach the world to be unique In an industry so drained of choice The noiseless noise becomes your voice

I'm so forgettable That I could disappear tomorrow Who knew I'd fly off the Earth Another starr in the sky And my dream passes by And my life passes me by Without a second notice Without a second notice Tried so hard to make myself noticed Noticed that there's no point in trying No I can't just keep myself hiding Hide away and keep myself lying Tried so hard to make myself noticed Noticed that there's no point in trying No I can't just keep myself hiding Hide away and keep myself lying I'm so trans-parent That I can't be accepted I'm not broken But you'll try to break me down I'm so trans-parent That you can't even see my heart My face is moulded, twisted and rotten I don't know where to start Tried so hard to make myself noticed Noticed that there's no point in trying No I can't just keep myself hiding Hide away and keep myself lying Tried so hard to make myself noticed Noticed that there's no point in trying No I can't just keep myself hiding Hide away and keep myself lying
