She... She has the perfect dice She is the one I love the most An angel's face with the devil's eyes She... She does it so damn well I feel I burn in hell with All the secret stories that she tells No way... I'm breaking free today I am a simple visionary Alone and feeling fine, a legendary thinker wanderer, dreamer, always out of line I am roaming all the time Writing lines that rhyme and I'm Lost sometimes within these thoughts that die No way... I'm breaking free today

Faking myself just to blend Bend myself to your guiding lines Numbing the pain to make it Bearable to breathe around you A higher state of consciousness A duller state of pride Awaken from that self-proclaimed Shipwreck before the tide Embrace Release Strip them from their moral pedestal Prejudice will help them capsize Stripped from all that's infantile Gluttons still cry out for more Disembodied, craving further Emancipation from the herd Acquitted by the single Lonely error of the word Embrace Release

Runaway 04:51
Someday's you just can't relate to all the crap all around you you really feel your mind is gonna burst You can live or you can die but the world will never know Yeah, don't Run away now You gotta find yourself and make do with what you are Don't run away now You have to turn your scars into your pride Criticize when you see lies but soon you'll say you're own goodbyes When you find out you're in disguise and all that's wrong is you Yeah, don't Run away now You gotta find yourself and make do with what you are Don't run away now You have to turn your scars into your pride

Like an atheist tries to meet god on his deathbed You try to make amends for all the times you fled But you might want to grasp a concept And realize, realize that I don't give a damn The whole soul business is just a scam You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this You can numb your mind, pretend your blind, dig an even deeper hole You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this How can I forgive and forget The horrors I've seen with all the places I've been Life is just a river flowing down to and through you And I do not want to wake up every morning thinking It would be better off without you You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this You can pray but life has a funny way of catching up to your mistakes You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this You can't drain me, you can't bring me down, you can't change me. You can't drain me, you can't bring me down.

You... you can't handle the truth You can't handle the pain, you decay Go... go and hide on your shadow Maybe soon you'll fade away Now you are so cold but I guess you're right That's only fitting when friendship dies THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR VIOLENCE If you think I'm fire I'll burn all connections then Now I have some drugs to do Some drugs to forget I'm... I'm not ashamed that I loved you I'm ashamed that we ever met We built pyramids in the beginning of time Crossed labyrinths with lust on our minds THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR VIOLENCE We entered forbidden places and then we died THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR VIOLENCE '...o que eramos ainda somos, mas o que somos não sabemos...' We fell through holes on the floor We cried through cracks in the sky We entered forbidden places ...and then we died
