LIVE LIKE A MAYFLY CUTTING THROUGH THE SKIES
IT’S LIVING LIKE A KING
AND IT DOESN’T CARE IF IT DIES
LIVE EVERY DAY AS IF IT WAS THE LAST
IF YOU MEET DEATH SMILE BACK IN CASE IT LAUGHS
JUST LIKE A RAINDROP RUSHING THROUGH THE AIR
DESCENDING IN THE OCEAN SINKING WITHOUT CARE
YOU’RE A FOSSIL, A SHELL, AGED IN STONE
YOU’VE DRAINED YOUR SOUL, DRY AS A BONE!
Refrain:
Getting through life running in circles
Worrying about the mindless cycle
Don’t count your time like the hour’s hand
If you waste it all away
BLESS THE PRESENT DAY
EMBRACE IT WHILE IT LASTS
TOMORROW’S FACE IS SHADED YESTERDAY IS OF THE PAST
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT AND THROW YOUR DICE
JUST SAY... ALL IN
AND YOUR LIFE SLIPS AWAY AND YOU WALK ASTRAY
You walk astray...as life slips away!
YOU’RE A FOSSIL, A SHELL, AGED IN STONE
YOU’VE DRAINED YOUR SOUL DRY AS A BONE!
YOU’RE A FOSSIL, A SHELL, AGED IN STONE
YOU’VE DRAINED YOUR SOUL DRY AS A BONE!
LIVE LIKE A METEOR CRUSHING IN THE EARTH
BURNING LIKE THE SUN BUT IT DOESN’T CARE HOW IT HURTS
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT FALLS
DON’T THINK ABOUT THE END FORGET ABOUT THE SCARS
THINK LIKE A MOTH SEEKING BRIGHT FLAMES
SUDDENLY YOUR LIFE BURSTS UP AND THATS THE END OF YOUR GAME
WE LIVE A SHORT LIFE AND WE FACE THIS WHEN IT ENDS
IF YOU PLAY YOURS RIGHT OR WRONG ON YOUR CONSCIENCE IT ALL HANGS
Open your eyes and play your cards Open your mind and throw your dice Live like a mayfly, cut the skies...

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There's faith and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

PLEASE DON’T GO AWAY DON’T RUN AWAY
JUST STAY HERE WITH ME AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER WHILE
TRUST MY WORDS I AM YOUR FATE
DON’T SHY AWAY FROM WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO FEEL
...from what you’re about to feel...
Take me in and spit me out
Breathe me or swallow me down
Inhale me, exhale me
Do whatever you want to do with me
Cause I am the one who’ll always have that you wish for
I’ll be your watchdog and your favorite ragdoll
I’m a fuckin miracle, a guardian, your savior
I can feel it kicking off, it’s something to live for
...something to live for... ...something to live for...
WAKE UP, WAKE UP YOU DON’T WANNA MISS YOUR SPECIAL DAY DON’T PASS OUT NOWCAUSE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO PASS
FIGHT BACK YOUR TEARS, LET’S SEE THAT SMILE!
FIGHT BACK YOUR TEARS, LET’S SEE THAT SMILE!
...Let’s see that smile...
I am gonna take you.. for the sake of a better life
To have and to hold, from this day forward
For good, for bad, for gilded, for broke
In shit times and in bloom, to adore and to cherish till end do us apart
And thereto I pledge you my faithfulness.
Take me in and spit me out
Breathe me or swallow me down
Inhale me, exhale me
Do whatever you want to do with me
Cause I am the one who’ll always have that you wish for
I’ll be your watchdog and your favorite ragdoll
I’m a fuckin miracle, a guardian, your savior
I can feel it kicking off, it’s something to live for
...something to live for... ...something to live for...

YOU’VE THOUGHT THAT I WAS ADAM BUT I AM THE SERPENT
YOU BLAME EVERYTHING ON ME YOUR HATRED CLOUDS YOUR JUDGEMENT
YES I GAVE YOU THE APPLE BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BIT IT
NOW, IT’S YOUR FAULT BITCH NOW IT’S YOUR FAULT BITCH!
NOW YOU HAVE SHOWN YOUR TRUE SELF
YOU HAVE REVEALED WHAT’S INSIDE YOU
Now you have shown your true self You have revealed what’s inside you
I am depicted as the villain, but I’ll rip off your skin!
But I’ll RIP OFF YOUR SKIN!
AND SHOW YOU’RE ROTTEN INSIDE
I’M NOT YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR
ʔøEHH...
RIPPING OFF, ALL YOUR SKIN
DISCOVERING WHO YOU REALLY ARE
RIPPING OFF, ALL YOUR SKIN
DISCOVERING WHO YOU REALLY ARE
MUST STAY IN DENIAL, YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG
BUT YOU KNOW THE IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL’S ONLY TOYS
I MADE UP MY MIND, NOW I CAN SEE YOU FROM THE INSIDE
NO NEED TO HOLD ON TO ME, NO ONE CAN SAVE ME
NOW YOU HAVE SHOWN YOUR TRUE SELF
YOU HAVE REVEALED WHAT’S INSIDE YOU
Now you have shown your true self You have revealed what’s inside you
I am depicted as the villain, but I’ll rip off your skin!
But I’ll RIP OFF YOUR SKIN!
AND SHOW YOU’RE ROTTEN INSIDE
I’M NOT YOUR KNIGHT So leave me alone...

SEE YOUR WAY OUT
OF YOUR OWN BORDERS
YOU’RE SICK OF FOLLOWING MORE ORDERS
ORDERS! PUSH ME BACK AND FORTH
YOU DON’T REALLY WANNA KNOW HOW THIS STRANGLES MY OWN THROAT
I HEAR VOICES IN MY MIND I SEE ALL THESE FUCKING PEOPLE
AND I FEEL ON MY SKIN ALL THEY WANNA DO IS EVIL
I AM THE ONE (THE ONE)
THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD (MY HEAD)
YOU’RE GOING MAD (I’M GOING MAD)
Set me free, I’m way over my breaking point
The me you knew and the face you see are two separate souls
Leave yourself out of it
I can’t find...
(See your way out of this – see your way out)
I can’t find my way out
EACH AND EVERY INSULT PUTS SILVER IN MY HAIR
SHOW ME YOUR FACE, SHOW ME IF YOU DARE
YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT GOES THROUGH MY HEAD
YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THE POWER IN MY HAND
YOU ARE THE ONE (THE ONE)
THE VOICE IN MY HEAD (YOUR HEAD)
YOU’RE GOING MAD (YOU’RE GOING MAD)
Set me free, I’m way over my breaking point
The me you knew and the face you see are two separate souls
Fight yourself out of this
You have found
(I see my way out of this! – finally out!) Found your way out.
