Pyre 03:09
lyrics

You've faded away From this path that's mine I made no mistake Cause i know ill be fine You never loved me for me But who you thought I could be I just couldn't stay And watch you undermine Me in every way So I made up my mind Guess you're not really for me I know the things I can be So I've gone and set myself free Erase my own memory It was another day It was another life I've made myself a stray I've learned to say goodbye So I went down to the pyre And I set it on fire And I will build an empire And I will rise again Rise again Truth is I never liked Trynna be one of you Never felt really psyched Being part of your crew No more trying to fit in I won't take it with a grin It's like I've seen the lights Now that I'm not with you None of you's worth the fight I need something that's new Wishing I could undo The time wasted with you It was another day It was another life I've made myself a stray I've learned to say goodbye So I went down to the pyre And I set it on fire And I will build an empire And I will rise again Rise again Yeah I'll rise again It was another day It was another life I've made myself a stray I've learned to say goodbye So I went down to the pyre And I set it on fire And I will build an empire And I will rise again It was another life It was another fight Just let the memories die I've learned to say goodbye 'Cause I went down to the pyre And I set it on fire And I built an empire So watch me rise again I've risen again

Therapy 03:14
lyrics

I am sorry that wasn't there I promise that I really cared There is no fun, there are no funfairs In my head now it's only air With pollution I cannot find a solution Absolution Feels a lot like prosecution I am tired of this fire That always consumes me I'm feeling like a zombie I turn to ashes with your matches Memories burning me And I need therapy And I'm sorry that I missed it all I didn't hold you I just let you fall There's only guilt, now I'm feeling small And I'm still waiting 'til I see you crawl Out of the ground I miss the days you were around It's like I'm spellbound Defeated on the battleground I am tired of this fire That always consumes me I'm feeling like a zombie I turn to ashes with your matches Memories burning me And I need therapy The old order has passed away: welcome them then into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain I am tired of this fire That always consumes me I'm feeling like a zombie I turn to ashes with your matches Memories burning me And I need therapy My heart is broken Feels like dying How can I ever be Even close to happy Help me doctor I'm a failure But God took him from me Please give me therapy And I'm sorry I'm sorry

I Love The Pain 03:00

I could settle And not meddle With these things that hurt my head In this jungle I could handle Somewhere safe to rest my head But it's not me And I don't know why Guess I'm hungry For things gone awry I just love the pain I love being vain So I can keep pushing my limits and break I can't stand the way You all play it safe I wanna keep hurting and feeling awake I just love the pain I just love the pain This addiction Stranger than fiction Is fatal I'm dying inside It's my affliction I know it's poison I hate normal and I need wild And it hate it But I just can't stop And I love it Feel my heart drop I just love the pain I love being vain So I can keep pushing my limits and break I can't stand the way You all play it safe I wanna keep hurting and feeling awake I just love the pain Why do I love bad Things that make me sad I just love the pain I love being vain So I can keep pushing my limits and break I can't stand the way You all play it safe I wanna keep hurting and feeling awake I just love the pain I just love the pain

So spit your venom I can feel it blossom Into something awesome It made me who I am So spit that venom Your hateful venom I'll take it till I'm numb See if I give a damn Damn! Damn! Damn! Why you gotta be so mean You fill my lungs with gasoline And all I can breathe is the smoke of your fire Damn Why do you always have to win A taste of your own medicine Is all you'll get with no hope for ceasefire Damn! Damn! I Love your poison It is like a potion That keeps my attention On staying where I am It's my invention I'm my own creation You don't need to question Me why d'you give a damn Damn! Damn! Damn! Why you gotta be so mean You fill my lungs with gasoline And all I can breathe is the smoke of your fire Damn Why do you always have to win A taste of your own medicine Is all you'll get with no hope for ceasefire Damn! Why d'you have to be so mean Damn! Why you gotta be so mean You fill my lungs with gasoline And all I can breathe is the smoke of your fire Damn Why do you always have to win A taste of your own medicine Is all you'll get with no hope for ceasefire Why you gotta be so mean

I Don't Like You 03:01

I should give up and let it go But your hot and cold is all I know And it is messing with my brain Lately I've been feeling so low But I've smiled and put on a show You're a let down like summer rain You're summer rain Pain in my brain I do love you But I don't like you I don't like you Just like you do I'm hurting too Cause I'm lost in you You're a showman, the greatest con You entertain from dust to dawn I fell for it but now I know That from the start I was a pawn You needed someone to lean on While you struggled in the shadow And this shadow Is all you know Consumed with pride confident tone Deep down inside you're all alone You're like a child and no backbone I do love you But I don't like you I don't like you Just like you do I'm hurting too Cause I'm lost in you

Your crusade To have the ennemy distroyed it drove you mad But I'm sure you really enjoyed playing with blades We are the victims to be toyed with When you're dead you'll still need to be fed You're like a spear Going through me Screams of despair I know you hear me So feast feast feast Enjoy the view You're a beast beast beast And it's all for you Always mystify Never clarify I should have said goodbye But I was into you So feast feast feast As I die for you As I die for your entertainment You betrayed My trust it must have brought you joy watch me decay While you celebrate all the spoils of wars you made Just like a silly little boy and When you're dead you'll still need to be fed You're like a spear Going through me Screams of despair I know you hear me So feast feast feast Enjoy the view You're a beast beast beast And it's all for you Always mystify Never clarify I should have said goodbye But I was into you So feast feast feast As I die for you Planted your teeth in me before I could agree Buried beneath with me but I've set myself free You're so blood thirsty So blood thirsty You're like a spear Going through me Screams of despair I know you hear me So feast feast feast Enjoy the view You're a beast beast beast And it's all for you Always mystify Never clarify I should have said goodbye But I was into you So feast feast feast As I die for you

Yeah it's clear to me I don't belong These are things I just don't get and they're all around me You got rid of me But I'm headstrong You want me to feel bad for things but I'm not guilty So you can say you're sorry You can say you worry That you care about me All you want You can share your glory Tell me your sob story It's almost predatory It's not what I want Go ahead judge me Say nothing's wrong Feel like you must be nice because it's compulsory So don't smile at me Don't tag along I'm done with pretending don't you know it isn't me So you can say you're sorry You can say you worry That you care about me All you want You can share your glory Tell me your sob story It's almost predatory It's not what I want So crop me out of your pictures Write me off your scriptures I don't need no lecture No I need no lecture You cropped me out your pictures I wrote you off my scriptures Think you need a lecture I'll give you your lecture So you can say you're sorry You can say you worry That you care about me All you want You can share your glory Tell me your sob story It's almost predatory It's not what I want

And I don't like Your toxic positivity Don't share your light It's all bullshit to me All little lies False sense of security You've closed your eyes You can't face reality And I swear on your head I'm OK I'm alright I don't need your help I'm awake I'm alive Don't try to be my sunshine Just let me live by moonlight And I don't like Your cliche mentality You shine so bright But it means nothing to me I'd rather fly With my own melancholy Than live a lie To fit your reality And I swear on your head I'm OK I'm alright I don't need your help I'm awake I'm alive Don't try to be my sunshine Just let me live by moonlight Moonlight moonlight moonlight moonlight And I swear on your head I'm OK I'm alright I don't need your help I'm awake I'm alive Don't try to be my sunshine Just let me live by moonlight

Do my sunglasses hide my tears And is my silence music to your ears I won't smile Just so you can feel Less hostile You hate it when im real You like when I'm a clown Wanna reverse that frown But truth is that I'm down I feel trapped underground I know I'm a drag But we can't all be made of sunshine All these Heavy bags I'm always carrying around Please hear Me now Don't shut me up I need someone To be here For now Can't get up I've just been kicked down 'Cause we can't all be made of sunshine I'm the fun one I make you laugh But does it matter I'm never enough For you lot I'm sorry I can't be What you want Can't you see the real me Guess I'll keep on being a clown Not turn your world upside down I'll let you wear the crown You'll reign and watch me drown I know I'm a drag But we can't all be made of sunshine All these Heavy bags I'm always carrying around Please hear Me now Don't shut me up I need someone To be here For now Can't get up I've just been kicked down 'Cause we can't all be made of sunshine Do my sunglasses hide my tears And is my silence music to your ears I know I'm a drag But we can't all be made of sunshine All these Heavy bags I'm always carrying around Please hear Me now Don't shut me up I need someone To be here For now Can't get up I've just been kicked down 'Cause we can't all be made of sunshine

Why should I sit still Proud and tall like I'm feeling no joy Proper lady skill Yeah it's fun cause I dress like a boy And I know the drill But it's you that I seem to annoy Know I love the thrill Cause it's who I am not a ploy I'll never hear you say "Will you be my baby" Never hear you say "Will you be my friend" You don't wanna play Unless I'm sweet like honey You love a good cliche I'm not sorry that's not me And I'm laying here With my thoughts and my grief I'm confused Wish they'd disappear But instead I can feel their abuse And if I sleep on it Will I wake up with a brand new excuse For just being me Took the loss cause I am my own muse I'll never hear you say "Will you be my baby" Never hear you say "Will you be my friend" You don't wanna play Unless I'm sweet like honey You love a good cliche I'm not sorry that's not me I'm no pleaser no I'll never hear you say "Will you be my baby" Never hear you say "Will you be my friend" And you know what that's ok Just gotta do things my way I'm too much for you hey I'm not sorry that's just me

Sleepless 02:45

So many thoughts now running through my head Always overstay their welcome when it's late All I wanted was an early night well My head's like "no way You will listen to me" And I'm awake when the world is asleep And I think about my life When I should be deeply asleep Looks like I won't close those eyes I'm sleepless In the morning I'll feel like shit once again But I'll get up and slay Like I do every day Guess it's true that if there's no pain there's no gain Who needs sleep anyway I'll do that when I'm dead And I'm awake when the world is asleep And I think about my life When I should be deeply asleep Looks like I won't close those eyes I'm sleepless

You bore me 'cause I think you're basic I should leave 'cause it's getting toxic Heard you speak and I almost got sick I'm cranky so can we change the topic You're cheering 'cause you know it's Friday But my face is looking like a Monday And I don't care 'bout anything that you say I'm off now but I'll see you next Tuesday Hey! Hey! do your thing And I will do my thing My summertime though Keeps it gray and rainy The sun is shining But I just wanna go home I hear the wind blow So I'll keep on celebrating Thunder is coming To keep me in my comfort zone Sometimes I wish I was an NT But more, like, I'm feeling like an ND I want your friendship not your pity Can you fill my glass 'cause it's half empty I'm sitting in neurotypical hell But I'll stay 'til I hear the last orders bell I bet you think you know me so damn well Surprise it's the real me so let me spell It out for you now Show you what I'm about My summertime though Keeps it gray and rainy The sun is shining But I just wanna go home I hear the wind blow So I'll keep on celebrating Thunder is coming To keep me in my comfort zone They say Do our thing Play our game Maybe you could smile a little bit more Be the face of the phrase "J'adore" Yeah I Do things wrong Don't belong I don't recall asking for your opinion Never gonna be one of your minions My summertime though Keeps it gray and rainy The sun is shining But I just wanna go home I hear the wind blow So I'll keep on celebrating Thunder is coming To keep me in my comfort zone I live in a world that's not made for me Must be bliss to be so dumb and happy Don't ask me why I'm always so grumpy I'm too real but let's not ruin the party Sucks that this world was not made for me Must be great to be normal and carefree Don't ask me why I'm so weird and nerdy I'm too real so let's not ruin the party I meant it no this wasn't a typo You're offended I really don't care no I'm fairly sure that I'm a psycho Don't need you 'cause I do things solo

Crown of Thorns 03:05

This song goes to your friends They're always here to mend You wear your crown of thorns to your Wounds they always tend They're here sharing your bread They're happy when they're fed Full of your words and charms the sheep Love to be led They worship the new heir They dismiss the new player They don't care 'bout what's fair It's beyond repair I'll stay away What's the point in fighting when all of us are gonna die Make no mistake I may look like I'm cool but deep down I'm not alright With all the ways You walked away from me it's clear that you picked a side Let's not be fake Accept that we are done so I can at least keep my pride I'm sitting on my bed Stuck inside my own head I'm thinking 'bout all the bad things you did And all your toxic friends They mean well but they bend To your will and honestly that's too bad I said it in a prayer I sung it to the maker I wanted to get better But it just looked wrong A villain in a lair You caught me unaware Why did I even care Listen to my song I'll stay away What's the point in fighting when all of us are gonna die Make no mistake I may look like I'm cool but deep down I'm not alright With all the ways You walked away from me it's clear that you picked a side Let's not be fake Accept that we are done so I can at least keep my pride Why would I want friends Who aren't even my friends Yeah I think I'm fine but thank you Thank you, thank you I'll stay away What's the point in fighting when all of us are gonna die Make no mistake I may look like I'm cool but deep down I'm not alright With all the ways You walked away from me it's clear that you picked a side Let's not be fake Accept that we are done so I can at least keep my pride
