I love the feeling when we lift off Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window I wonder what keeps us so high up? Could there be a love beneath these wings? If we suddenly fall should I scream out? Or keep very quiet and cling to My mouth as I'm crying? So frightened of dying Relax, yes, I'm trying But fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me I love the quiet of the night time When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from The sense of time catching up with me The sky's set out like a pathway But who decides which route we take? As people drift into a dreamworld I close my eyes as my hands shake And when I see a new day Who's driving this anyway? I picture my own grave 'Cause fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground Will the earth beneath my body shake And cast your sleeping hearts awake? Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies? Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes? I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That's why everything's got to be love or death Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on...

Thou shalt not Kill your fathers, destroy another life Question everything we clung to for years Live forever, design a better death Confuse a liar with a savior from fear Create a myth and separate the chosen ones Adolescent independence, dominion I only wanna believe in fucking anything But now my conscience is contradicting everything The ending's the same The world will not change The answer is clear Tell your mothers they have no sons or daughters Blame yourselves because your children are mine We are orphans, but we are not forgotten And we will find a way to save us this time We can run, but we are tired of running We're dropping seconds in a glass till we die We only wanna believe in fucking everything But we're alive, and we're not accepting anything The ending's the same The world will not change The answer is clear Annihilation I won't control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I'm stronger, better They gave to me, now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves Oh, I will never become another piece Inside the paralytic construct I hate Live forever? Well, I would rather die At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create This is yours, but you had better choose Before they take away your right to decide I guess I'll never believe in fucking anything But my solace is, I can handle everything The ending's the same The world will not change The answer is clear Obliteration I won't control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I'm stronger, better They gave to me, now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I'm stronger, better I won't control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I'm stronger, better They gave to me, now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves
