It's hard not to fall apart When you're the sum of your parts The things you've done There's nowhere left to run You hope no one recalls Your greatest hits of falls The wounds will never heal You refuse to let them seal I cannot find my brain It's caught out in the rain Stumbling forever All senses have been severed I'm drifting off to space While caught up in one place Tumbling forever I guess i'll see you never I'm sick of being clever I'm sick of acting better And hiding all my demons You can barely hear the screaming Turn the music louder Can't you feel the power? Isn't that redeeming? You can barely hear the screaming The illusion of control Is all you'll ever know Fear controls you It's rope will pull you through Life is a string of regrets Burning out like cigarettes Dormant on the street Crushed by other people's feet I cannot find my brain It's caught out in the rain Stumbling forever All senses have been severed I'm drifting off to space While caught up in one place Tumbling forever I guess i'll see you never I'm sick of being clever I'm sick of acting better And hiding all my demons You can barely hear the screaming Turn the music louder Can't you feel the power? Isn't that redeeming? You can barely hear the screaming I cannot find my brain It's caught out in the rain Stumbling forever All senses have been severed I'm drifting off to space While caught up in one place Tumbling forever I guess i'll see you never I'm sick of being clever I'm sick of acting better And hiding all my demons You can barely hear the screaming Turn the music louder Can't you feel the power? Isn't that redeeming? You can barely hear the screaming Smile for the masses Sad eyes behind glasses Don't look them in the eye They'll never see you cry Falling down forever Never learning better Do it til I die At least they'll never see me cry Try to burn it all away Another drink another day Pretend to be the guy I'm my own biggest lie Fake it when I must Forgetting who to trust Ignore them when they pry Live inside a happy lie I'm sick of being clever I'm sick of acting better And hiding all my demons You can barely hear the screaming

Ghosts watching while I am awake Reminders of mistakes Behind me they are always near Their presence ever here You fall in love You're all alone You're far from grace You're far from home Your thoughts deceive You can't obey If you believe You're led astray Bow down before your captor's claws Or die between it's jaws You cannot leave where madness reigns It courses through your veins You fall in love You're all alone You're far from grace You're far from home Your thoughts deceive You can't obey If you believe You're led astray You fall in love You're all alone You're far from grace You're far from home Your thoughts deceive You can't obey If you believe You're led astray

Rose colored thoughts Turn black in reality She will not let you flee Show me the value in meaningless loving And i'll show you how to fail and amount to nothing Whatever comes next looks better than now Weightless drifting I'm floating through A world of faded blue Time stands still while wasting away You can't win at this game Show me the value in life well lived And I'll show you how much soul that man has left to give Whatever comes next looks better than now Weightless drifting I'm floating through A world of faded blue I am a nameless face in the crowd Thousands screaming I can't get through A world of faded blue Whatever comes next looks better than now Weightless drifting I'm floating through A world of faded blue I am a nameless face in the crowd Thousands screaming I can't get through A world of faded blue

Times are strange, a normal day Distant thoughts so far away Noise remains and fire reigns Static flashes on the screen In the shape of human beings All the scenes devoid of meaning A talking head speaks it mind Sowing lies his words are blind Show some pride and chooses a side Unquestioned thoughts reality Spiraling for all to see Welcome to insanity In the dark a harrowed call A grim reminder death takes all A spectral hawk soars the skies They rise I think we've lost control I think we've fallen too low I think we've lost control I think we've lost control I think we've fallen too far I think we've lost control The pretty preacher servers a sermon Hypnotizing loyal servants Falling prey to the serpent The only choice is something drastic When your world is made of plastic Words are mute next to a casket A veiled hand providing guidance Supervising purposed violence Carry forth the word of god Unflawed I think we've lost control I think we've fallen too low I think we've lost control I think we've lost control I think we've fallen too far I think we've lost control I think we've lost control I think we've fallen too low I think we've lost control I think we've lost control I think we've fallen too far I think we've lost control

Nothing left but mortal gods Leaving all the herds at odds Entertained by their applause Don't abide by written laws The brave are better when they're dead Leave the masses with no head Leave the cowards all alone They're no danger to the throne When the earth is ruled by strife After we've destroyed our lives When every job becomes machines Total destruction brings peace When the rich can't buy us hope Their necks dangle from our ropes We are the ones that hold the leash Total destruction brings peace Keep the workers all unknown Keep the scared and all alone They can't bite the hand that feeds When it caters to their needs There are riots in the streets Votes becoming obsolete Everybody has a choice But nobody has a voice A forlorn humanity A reborn new sanity Sweet release from fantasy Total destruction brings peace Thoughts and prayers are with us all As the bombs begin to fall All is calm when life has ceased Total destruction brings peace When the earth is ruled by strife After we've destroyed our lives When every job becomes machines Total destruction brings peace When the rich can't buy us hope Their necks dangle from our ropes We are the ones that hold the leash Total destruction brings peace A forlorn humanity A reborn new sanity Sweet release from fantasy Total destruction brings peace Thoughts and prayers are with us all As the bombs begin to fall All is calm when life has ceased Total destruction brings peace

I prefer to remain unnamed When I play this kind of game To the victor goes the crown I’ll be the ruler of this town Finally crawled my way to the throne Cause of death will remain unknown Placed him neatly in his bed Placed that crown upon my head I had a plan to get to the top I was on a mission I couldn't stop Watched with pride as it unfurled Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world I always knew it'd be like this Ruling my empire of bliss Palace built on dreams and gold Man's crushed spirit and tortured souls I've spent so long in this game I can't remember my real name Made foes of all my friends Gone too far to make amends I had a plan to get to the top I was on a mission I couldn't stop Watched with pride as it unfurled Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Flew the coop again today Didn't matter can't get away Can't escape the public eye When your empire's gone awry Is this a blessing or a curse My ticket out is in a hearse Now that my world is up in flames I wish I could remember my real name I had a plan to get to the top I was on a mission I couldn't stop Watched with pride as it unfurled Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world I had a plan to get to the top I had a mission I couldn't stop I was on a mission I couldn't stop Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world
