The Game

We have been here before, I know that you know
It’s all been here before, we’re back at zero again
Nothing is real, you see – They lie into your face
And when the war starts again, we’re the first ones to go
It took all these years to
All these years to
All these years to find out
And where are going
Where are we going
Where are we going now?
I know that nobody cares
And nobody knows
And everything falls apart
So let this be our last game
Without a winner
Oh, let this game start
They pay for silence and nothing stays the same
And when nothing stays the same, we’re the ones to blame
They’re staring back at us, an empty world in their eyes
Cause we got them figured out and revolution starts
It took all these years to
All these years to
All these years to find out
And where are going
Where are we going
Where are we going now?
I know that nobody cares
And nobody knows
And everything falls apart
So let this be our last game
Without a winner
Oh, let this game start

I think of you, but I'm long, long gone
I think of you, but it's a different story now
I think of you when I hear your voice
It's when I try to be a better person
But they don't really know, they don't really know
they don't really know what I mean
I think of you and I think you're sick
I think of you, oh, please tell me that you miss me
I think of you on a sleepless night
I know I'm mad, there's nothing to prove me wrong
But they don't really know, they don't really know
they don't really know what I mean
They don't really know, they don't really know
they don't really know what you say
But hey, I'd give myself away
I'd give myself away
I'd give myself away if you'd stay
Cause they don't really know, they don't give a fuck
They don't give a shit about what you did for me
I think of you and you know that I do
Do you think I'm this special kind of stupid?
I think of you, I just hope you're doing well
Together we stand a chance against the system
But they don't really know, they don't give a fuck
They don't give a shit about us
But they don't really know, they don't give a fuck
They don't give a shit, am I right?
But hey, I'd give myself away
I'd give myself away
I'd give myself away if you'd stay
Cause they don't really know, they don't give a fuck
They don't give a shit about what you did for me
Война — это мир.
Свобода — это рабство.
Незнание — сила.
Когда война становится бесконечной, она перестает быть опасной.
Иерархическое общество возможно только на основе бедности и невежества.

I want to say goodbye to my old life
Enslaved to the system
I got no strength to break out
I want to say goodbye to you and me
The future is bleak
There is no need to break free
So cross my heart and hope to die
You can’t fix my broken mind
I won’t make it out alive
My outlook on life is dark dark dark
Freedom is a lie we both believed
Caught between lies and ideology
So cross my heart and hope to die
You can’t fix my broken mind
I won’t make it out alive
My outlook on life is dark dark dark
Cross my heart and hope to die
We can’t win the war even if we tried
We won’t make it out alive
This world is so fucking dark dark dark

The Liar

This song is for you, the naked truth
And you thought you ruined my life
Say what you want to make you feel better about the life in the saint world
You never play the victim, my ego is at fault and I am the one to blame
You wanna pull the strings, I'll tell you what I feel
You know I've been deceived
You're bringing me up and then you bring me down
You wanna wear the crown but it's a lie, lie
You're bringing me up and then you bring me down
It's nothing than a lie
No, nothing than a lie
Give me your attention, tell me you adore me, turn the page and say I lied
You wanna play the victim, ignore me all you want – I don't play your game
You know that my views differ
I say one thing, do another – Feel free to hate
I wanna play the victim, I'll tell you what I think
It's been the same for all my life
You're bringing me up and then you bring me down
You wanna wear the crown but it's a lie, lie
You're bringing me up and then you bring me down
It's nothing than a lie
No, nothing than a lie

The Passenger

“You’ll give me home, I’ll give you the key”
you said to me through the waves on the radio
With longing in your voice
You wanted peace and change
I only knew your name
We never met but I knew what you preached
Your touch was cold like snow
With a look to die for
And your wish for freedom from oceans of pain
And as we ride through the night
When bright lights blind my eyes
Are you with me, should I be scared?
You chose to be my passenger
And as we ride through the night
When your past brings tears to my eyes
You’re guiding me, I’m not alone
You chose to be my passenger
You found home in your songs
You give and never take
I share your pain, I wish you knew – You do it anyway
They say you went too far
Crashing in your car
But your fame was never to blame
You met your fate too soon
Stay longer if you want
It’s 3 am on Smolenskaya Street
And as we ride through the night
When bright lights blind my eyes
Are you with me, should I be scared?
You chose to be my passenger
And as we ride through the night
When your past brings tears to my eyes
You’re guiding me, I’m not alone
You chose to be my passenger
“Don’t look for heaven when I’m around”
You chose me to be your receiver
Tell me what to do, I won’t fail you
You chose me to be your receiver
And as we ride through the night
When bright lights blind my eyes
Are you with me, should I be scared?
You chose to be my passenger
And as we ride through the night
When your past brings tears to my eyes
You’re guiding me, I’m not alone
You chose to be my passenger

Kapitulation

I count to three – All I see is dark
And tears surround me
I count to three – And I see
A shield made out of fears to guide me
If you could see what I see
Would you still be behind me?
I count to three – And I see
In a sea of tears we’re drowning
We’ll stay until the end, my friend
There’s nothing left for us, so far away
So stay until the end, my friend
We’ll go far away
I count to three – My name is
dragged through the mud of their lies
I count to three – There is no way
that we can make this right
If you could see what I see
Would you still stand by my side?
I count to three – There is no need
Keep counting to stay sane
We’ll stay until the end, my friend
There’s nothing left for us, so far away
So stay until the end, my friend
We’ll go far away
