| Defeated 
 
Everything I build I destroy,everything I love I always hurts,
 everything I hate I'd rather love,
 everything I am is everything I'm not.
 
How does it feel to be free,how does it feel to clearly see,
 I am you now, I feel complete,
 I am you now, free in defeat.
 
 | Deaf, Dumb & Blind 
 
Beyond my hell,beyond my heaven,
 outside all hate,
 outside all love,
 
 
Impose what's real,inside we feel,
 it's all inside,
 we are, we hide
 
 | 
| Paralyzed 
 
From birth to death, it's just the same,From birth to death, what am I,
 I can't believe in myself,
 I can't see past myself,
 
Why should I fight? Nothing to fight forwhy should I fight? I'll turn my back,
 Nothing can hurt me if it's not real,
 From birth to death, it's all the same
 
From birth to death, it's just the same,From birth to death, what am I,
 Nothing can hurt me if it's not real,
 From birth to death, I'm just the same
 
 | Anthem 
 
And I found my soul,but whatever I'm feeling has been crushed by your world,
 and you know that I'll find,
 my purity inside it's all that's mine.
 
You make me feel what you feel,I will become you 'cause you know what's real,
 and I'll see what you see,
 you'll never be me 'cause I've found my soul.
 [repeat 1st verse]

Denial, no function, loveless, no meaningFearless, system, circular, existence
 
Meaning, distorted , shapeless, feelingsFearless, system, suffering on, existence
 Why am I, such a void[repeat]
 
 White Flag
 
 
I tried, I tried to stand,but I fell, I fell to the ground.
 
Lord I tried, you know I triedbut you see, you see straight through me.
 
 | Tyrant 
 
We hail downfallWe hail black rain
 Invert what's sane
 We serve your pain
 
Black rain fall down
 
Complete, all dirtCan't find, all hurt
 Invert what's sane
 We serve your pain
 Black rain fall down
 
We hail downfallWe hail black rain
 Invert what's sane
 We serve your pain
 
Black rain fall down

 | For Life 
 
I'm feeling, I'm needing,I'm seeing, believing.
 It's that I can be, there's nothing else,
 maybe I'm a loser, but there's nothing to win,
 'cause I'm in it for life.
 I'm in it for life [x3]
 
Deceiver, believer,can't finish what you've started,
 try feeling the pain of someone who suffers more,
 I'll feel the pain of everything, it's what I am,
 I'm in it for life,
 and I feel it for life,
 I'm in it for life,
 I feel it for life.
 [repeat 1st verse]
 Vampires
 
 
You fucking freaks, you bleed me dry,you fucking speak, I don't need to reply,
 I can be what you want, just push me,
 I can be what you want, just push me.
 
I'm your possession, you shape me,I'm your possession, you own me,
 I can be what you want, just push me,
 I can be what you want, just push me.
 [repeat 1st verse]

I fall down, can't stand up,I stay down, won't stand up,
