Perfection
Robotics everywhere, governing every square,
full of metallic lives, no heart and no surprise.
Rational, all established and controlled,
technical, disciplined and logical,
mechanical, automatic operation,
ethical, behavioural limitation.
PERFECTION (x 3)
There is a script to follow, nothing can go wrong.
Functions and algorithms take you all along.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, please don´t look inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, show that you are fine.
Computers all around, strict and accurate,
twenty-four hours on, no errors, no mistakes.
CHORUS
Sharing emotions doesn´t help you stepping up,
hold them inside you better not to show them up.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, please don´t look inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, show that you are fine.
Terminator is the safest future,
Human robots are the best protectors.
PERFECTION
Self-control and strong are priority,
sensitive is dangerous and risky.
There is a script to follow, nothing can go wrong.
Functions and algorithms take you all along.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, please don´t look inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, show that you are fine.

When time doesn´t matter anymore
Willpower is an hourglass
goes changing with time, goes changing with life.
With time we get more and more sand,
what will happen when time doesn´t matter anymore?
As I´m growing old, I become more practical,
realistic, tactical, pragmatic, sensible
Where are all my dreams, I feel they are all gone,
they used to be my force, something to stand for, oh…
Time is up, time is drought
while the Earth expires and shouts
For ourselves, for our lives,
please do something to sort it out.
The countdown doesn´t stop, the countdown is for real
my movements are constrained, I don´t like this ordeal
The system is designed to keep all like before,
so what will happen when
time doesn´t matter anymore, oh…
Time is up, time is drought
while the Earth expires and shouts
For ourselves, for our lives,
please do something to sort it out.
Time is up, time is drought
while the air expires and shouts
For ourselves, for our lives,
break the glass to sort it out.
We are living on the earth, unaware of what it means
to be part of (the) universe and take care of what´s within.
My destruction up to now has been bad enough to see
Is there any more time left? Can we stop our defeat?
Trapped in this huge hourglass, where the rain is made of sand,
we´re sinking more and more, sliding down the walls of glass.
The air is flying to survive, the sand is filling all the gaps,
time is changing rapidly,
it is gone, it is mad, it is long, it is sharp, it is wrong,
time is fearful like a bomb.
Take the final gasps of air, are we sorting out this mess,
what to do, what it’s best, turning round the timer or
(smashing it up, turn it round) x 7
(When the time doesn´t matter anymore
sand will cover errors and successes all in all) x 2
Time is up, time is drought
while the Earth expires and shouts
For ourselves, for our lives,
please do something to sort it out.
Time is up, time is drought
while the air expires and shouts
For ourselves and for our lives,
break the glass to sort it out.
Time is up, time is drought
while the air expires and shouts
For ourselves and for our lives,
break the glass to sort it out.
For ourselves and for our lives,
please do something to sort it out.

My own hell

My own hell
I´m running off, breaking away
I feel exhausted of it all, I had enough.
I´m moving on, never too late,
I feel exhilarated, happy to be brave.
Driving away from my old life,
who would have thought I would escape without a plan
Nowhere to go, nowhere to land,
but I´m free from all my past
Far away, in the distant haze
I can make out rocks and desert,
somewhere to go, nowhere to stay.
Far away, in the distant haze,
all seems abandoned and deserted,
exactly what I have decided.
I don’t wanna be in your heaven (x3)
I’d rather be in my own hell
I feel the wind, play with my hair,
I hear the engine roaring loud into the air.
Is this a dream or is it real?
I need to pinch myself I´m here at the wheel.
I close my eyes, I just don´t care,
even a car crash wouldn´t make me go back there.
There´s no way back, (I) made up my mind,
going to hell is the only track.
CHORUS
Nananananananana… (x4)
It´s been too long, living like a ghost,
working night and day all along.
Zombie job, in a gilded cage,
working for others non-stop.
But time has come, my story is mine
I want to live it, I want to feel it.
My fate is dark, I´m sure of that
but I will live it, I want to feel it.
I have decided, that´s all right,
I want to live it, I want to feel it.
From living dead to walking dead
but I will live it, I want to feel it.
"He's just resting, waiting for a new life to come"
"I love the night, it's the only time I feel really alive"
"It was dead, but it opened its eyes and started to move"
"You have created a monster and it will destroy you!"
"Be guided of what he says, it's your only hope!"
"I had a frightful dream a few nights ago, and I don't seem to be able to get it out of my mind"
"Oh it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive!!"
I don’t wanna be in your heaven (x3)
I’d rather be in my own hell (all x3)

Thorns
Pain, hurricane, thorns and chains, through my veins, bleeding out in
pain, so insane, I can´t explain, it is in vane, I´m going down the drain
Our hearts covered in thorns
make one another bleed,
when we hug them for love
we hurt them with no need (all x2)
Pain, in my brain, I can´t retain, thorns and chains bleeding out in
pain, to obtain help again, how to grow if help each other hurts
pain, come again, just for them, so much hate between us what I get so far is
Hateful looks at me, tell me I´m not a guest
we compete in a game in which nobody wins (all x2)
How, how to care, how to enjoy if cuddles only ache?
How to heal, how to improve if we estamble in purpose?
Who put the thorns round ourselves so that we get hurt?
Are they just to avoid we get together?
CHORUS
Remove your thorns, (they are) so stuck to us,
remove your thorns, I wish I could (all x2)
What´s behind these walls, once we tear them down?
Take your thorns, put them on and make them bleed out (all x2)
Use your thorns
Make them bleed out

Made out of plastic
I am looking for words
that can make me feel better,
the result is just silence
with a strong taste of shame.
I am looking for beauty
but the sea is polluted
and the air, thick and grey
(I´m) drawning in sand and pain.
My willpower is my last
and my only companion,
but it´s made out of plastic, like me.
My willpower is my last
and my only companion,
and I can´t put an end to it all.
I am looking for peace
under these cherry trees,
but the blossom is fake
the same way my life is.
CHORUS
I should have fought against it
but I didn´t do anything,
now I´m deaf, blind, one-armed,
broken and disarmed,
and I can´t break the wall down.
I sold my soul
to become a cheap puppet
unaware that my honour was lost.
CHORUS (x 2)
