i death defy inside my mind and learn to find my place in time
what’s broken is open is left all alone i never wanted more
speak to me with fluid tongue and your oxygen it fills my lungs
and your attitude you carry safe with you is the handle on your door
you keep telling me that i keep telling me
that you keep telling me to go away
as i scratch inside your sorry soul i’ve given up on your control
you’re one to tell i’m one who told and together we’ve lost meaning
you’re a shady person in this sunny place and memories will be replaced
my attraction is distraction focus on a safer action
never searching for my closure i’m standing still holding composure
and i wonder when will this all be over my suicide inside a coma
if i gave a chance for you to try you’d minimize to maximize
you’d build me up to cut me to size and you keep telling me
know where know how you’ll be let down
unsure undone never get gratifucation

a killer secret

i am building up a tower
insert the message here, make the damage clear
find a way to climb the tower find a meaning there
i’m breaking all the laws, defenses are my flaws
find a way to climb the tower audience applause
cause i’m a superstar, i stole my neighbours car
and with a smile on my face i’m waving from afar
never at the scene, my prints are crystal clean
untouchable i’m never full of living up this dream
and with no lessons learnt, my victims always burnt
find a way to climb the tower my rewards were earnt
your life’s so very basic, right click delete erase it
find a way to see the tower you just try and chase it
cause i’m the upper class, i watch through tinted glass
i’m rotten decaying yet you just see my mask
i know something that you don’t know
i drink to better times, constant underlines
found a way to climb the tower past is left behind
addicted to the lying, reckless advertising
found a way to climb the tower middle finger rising
cause i’m a filthy cheat, a dirty little thief
and it’s a need that i must feed to make my life complete
my puppets are the crowd and you would know just how
if you could enter in the tower but you’re not allowed
now this movie’s real, trillion dollar deal
found a way to climb the tower buy my crappy meal
with my persona changed, character rearranged
found a way to rule the tower enter on the stage
now meet this fallen shell, climbing outta hell
a killer secret that i cant let you tell
i am building up a tower
i’m well known as a good listener
i only speak when i’ve chosen my words
my speech constructed like a building
a foundation of lies covers my earth
with each brick i am building up a tower
where i am safe where i am home
and outside the tower you all stand
unaware of what is know
found the message here, made the damage clear
found a way to burn the tower found a meaning there
i’ve broken all the laws, mastered all my flaws
found a way to burn the tower justify the cause
am i a better man, ashes where i stand
and i know something that you don’t know
i know something that you don’t know

will you teach me how to swim?
will you teach me to be him?
i turn around you’re always there, i see your distance calm
surrounding me with ocean stare, but do i dare to try?
you know i’ve always wanted, i long i thirst i burn
your tide has always haunted me, but do i dream to try?
you send me invitations, i wish i could reply
but cause i fear the water, you're with another guy
prepare myself and hold my breath, toes stuck here at the tide
should i enter shallow depth, accept the chance to try
i walk towards to conquer you, leaving emptiness behind
forced underneath your gentle blue, and there's nothing you can do
you send me invitations, i wish i could reply
and cause i fear the water, you're with another guy
will you teach me how to swim?
will you teach me to be him?
release your waves and save me
you send me invitations, i wish i could reply
and cause i fear the water, you're with another guy
you sent me invitations, i wish i had replied
but cause i feared the water, you're with another guy

i hit the floor in search of more
if i was poor, i’d just keep dancing
the lights are bright, this is my night, alright
tonight i’ll just keep dancing
i’ve got a heartbeat, i feel it in my hand
it’s tasting so sweet, doom disco dance
i’ve got this heartbeat, you would not understand
and now I can’t sleep, doom disco dance
just let me know when you’re hungry
i’m not gonna stop

hold your secrets in my body
search for fun inside my body
clear this space inside my body
search and sin and use my body
find the button on my body
power surge inside my body
i ask the password to my body
complete your business with my body
take a peak inside my body
hands up and down around my body
insert your disc into my body
delete this virus in my body
b. o. d. why? shut down my
providing pleasure to you, censorship for the few
so ask away without fear, cause i won't judge you my dear
i run for you when you come, finger my button for fun
see you peek at the naughty, cpu tells a story
private rooms changing names, logging on playing games
feel yourself hold your own, you are so different alone
monitor you all the time, just to store it inside
glimpse yourself on my screen, and wipe your history clean

i've got time to sit and pretend
and nineteen ways to make amends
i've got success and i've got friends
i have means to justify the end
so close to wanting it all, needing it all, having it all
the missing piece that fits
will never hold onto this
when i do what i do
it's all because of you
i own shallow things, i place to deep
they distract my thoughts in where you creep
i buy the cheapest wine and drink to sleep
and never lose the love i try to keep
so close to wanting it all, needing it all, having it all
the missing piece that fits
will never hold onto this
when i do what i do
it's all because of you
why am i always the one
walking in the rain?
walking in the shame of losing you?
the missing piece that fits
will never hold onto this
when i do what i do
it's all because of you
you know it's you

an alibi on every level
commit to dealing with the devil
when every lie’s a sweeter sin
that's drawn me closer to him
then no conscious could control me
i change my face dramatically
never live with honesty
never live and never be
i'm covering the facts
(keep this buried)
retracing all my tracks
(it's never justified)
disguising where i'm at
(you will never know)
creating what i lack
(i don't lie)

you know we're not going to sleep tonight
up late we watch the pulsating people
grinding, moving, everybody letting go
if there's a rhythm inside, you know, you gotta let it show baby
we make lovers of friends
this party's not gonna end
until 3010
so taste my groove
so i've heard that you feel a little shy
no need succumb to the magic of the message in the music
smiling touching use your body to let go
if there's a pleasure inside you know you gotta let it show baby
we make lovers of friends
this party's not gonna end
until 3010
so taste my groove
a restless body
nothing to lose
this is the moment
so make a move

we watch you play tricks on the crowd
as you cut her in half they all cheer aloud
behind the curtain we'll see what's inside
a secret door that you're trying to hide
locked in a box you seem so contained
cause as we both know you're not really chained
behind the curtain we'll see what's inside
a secret door that you're trying to hide
illusions make them believe that you can fly
levitate for the people, distractions turn the eye
illusions make them believe that you can fly
behind the curtain we'll see what's inside
a secret door that you're trying to hide
yet they love your show, and why? i just don’t know

the end
look at the horizon
is this over?
salt amongst the sand
i hope you understand
we're not even trying
final message sending
who knows if there's another plan?
fear the ending
the end
run to the horizon
is this over?
pieces fall away
face another day
what are we hiding?
no use pretending
knowing we are gonna stay
embrace the ending
the end
is this the end?
