State of the mind
State of the blind collective
Desperation calls for peace
Desperate times
Freedom denial
Free the child, the captive
Liberation taunts the thief
And paradise
Comes down to the level
Come down
Desperation calls
Desperation calls for
Love to come and lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for
Love
Love
Stray from the hive
And pray to survive the masses
All hail, here comes the queen
The paradigms
Break down if you let 'em
Break down
Desperation calls
Desperation calls for
Oh oh oh-oh
Love to come and lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for love
Ready or not, yeah
Ready or not, yeah
A change is gonna come
It's gonna come
And like it or not, yeah (like it or not, yeah)
Like it or not
We gotta break the walls
Oh oh oh
Desperation calls for love (for love, for love)
Oh
Love is gonna lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for
Love
Love to come and lead us home
Love is gonna mend these bones
Desperation calls for love
Desperation calls for love (for love, for love, for love, for love, for love, for love)

World On Fire
Going down like a dead man walking
One step from a body in a coffin
Just one, one of the fallen
Waking up to a blood moon, howling
Can't drown it out, even with the medicine
Tearing through me like a bullet of adrenaline
Arms heavy, face down on a death bed
Blame the gods while choking on the violence
In the end, silence is deafening
Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens?
In the night like thunder striking
The sickness is rising, the angels are crying
That's the sound of a world on fire
Stressed out, head trauma, took a beating
Takes more than a pill to numb the feeling
Bang, bang, no mercy for the healing
Oh, twenty dead without a fight, without a reason
Twenty more in a cop car, bleeding
All tryna win a war without a meaning
Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens?
In the night like thunder striking
The sickness is rising, the angels are crying
That's the sound of a world on fire
World on fire
World on fire
Arms heavy, face down on a death bed
Blame the gods while choking on the violence
In the end, silence is deafening
Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens?
In the night like thunder striking
The sickness is rising, the angels are crying
That's the sound of a world on fire
Fire
Yeah, can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens?
In the night like thunder striking
The sickness is rising, the angels are crying
World on fire (world on fire, world on fire, yeah)
World on fire, world on fire, world on fire)
The sickness is rising, the angels are crying
That's the sound of a world on fire
One step from a body in a coffin
Just one, one of the fallen
Waking up to a blood moon, howling
Can't drown it out, even with the medicine
Tearing through me like a bullet of adrenaline
Arms heavy, face down on a death bed

Heavy Is The Crown
Never needed any reason
To find deliverance
Like a cancer running through my veins, oh
That's never gonna give in
See 'em march like lambs to the slaughter
Toy soldiers lined up on the altar
I was never meant to drink that water
And they'll remember me when I'm underground
Heavy is the crown
Never falter, never let 'em bleed you out
I'll be still standing when they try to bring my castle down
I'll never bow down, heavy is the crown
Heavy is the crown, heavy is the crown, oh
Heavy is the crown
With the weight of the world crashing
Pushing you closer to the edge
You find a way to get a little bit stronger
To fight off the demons, yeah
See 'em march like lambs to the slaughter
Toy soldiers lined up on the altar
I'll rise, hell or high water
And you'll remember me when I'm underground
Heavy is the crown
Never falter, never let 'em bleed you out
I'll be still standing when they try to bring my castle down
I'll never bow down, heavy is the crown
(Everything will fade away)
Everything will fade away
Yeah, nothing in this world is meant to stay
Heavy is the crown, heavy is the crown, oh
Heavy is the crown, heavy is the crown, oh
Heavy is the crown, heavy is the crown, oh
Heavy is the crown

Never falter, never let 'em bleed you out

Changes Are Coming
In the darkest of the night
Waiting for the light to come
When the demons in your mind
Remind you of the damage done
Always talking, so much to say
Like a haunting ghost from the grave
And heaven seems so far away
So far away
Oh, I can see it
Changes are coming
Changes are coming
Yeah, we're headed for better days
Never stop running
Changes are coming
Changes are coming
Lost and helpless, scared to death
Barely breathing, still alive
Hit the ground face down in the dirt
Never giving up when it hurts
Oh, heaven feels so far away
So get ready for the fight, get ready for war
Yeah, and never give up what you're fighting for
Changes are coming
Changes are coming
Yeah, we're headed for better days
Never stop running
Changes are coming
And we're headed for better days
Changes are coming
So get ready for the fight, get ready for war
(Get ready for the fight, get ready for war)
Yeah, and never give up what you're fighting for

Dearly Beloved
I think you know
I think you know
That I'm not one for letting go
It goes to show
Sometimes the ones we love
We tend to hurt the most
Yeah, with every hit
We're closer to the break
But you might be surprised
How much a heart can take
Blow after blow
I just might be the one to say
I told you so
I know it feels like
It's like the world has left us behind
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
We've always had to fight to survive
Kicking and screaming, but never running
No, no, no
No matter what they say
I promise you it's not for nothing
No, no
No matter what they say
I swear to God, it's not for nothing
Yes, I believe
That there are sides of you and I
We've never seen
Oh, there's nothing to hide
We wear our scars as proof
That we are still alive
Yeah, with every hit
We're closer to the break
But you might be surprised
How much a heart can take
Stone after stone
We're getting stronger that you know
So let 'em throw
I know it feels like
It's like the world has left us behind
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
We've always had to fight to survive
Kicking and screaming, but never running
No, no, no
No matter what they say
I promise you it's not for nothing
No, no
No matter what they say
I swear to God, it's not for nothing
So don't look back now
We've come too far
To look back now
To look back now
I know it feels like
It's like the world has left us behind
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
We've always had to fight to survive
Kicking and screaming, but never running
No, no, no
No matter what they say
I promise you it's not for nothing
No, no
No matter what they say

Cry For Help
At the bottom
Just surviving
Reaching for the truth
Such a longing
The distance driving
The nail straight through
Ooh, ooh
Just try to hold steady
The world's getting heavy
Ooh, ooh
When you can't hold the weight
Any longer
Cry for help
Cry like rain
Let it fall down your face
Let the dam break
Cry for help
Ease the pain
When you can't hold the weight
It's okay, yeah
To cry for help
In the still
Of the darkness
The light shines through
Shows the sorrow
And the burden
Inside you
Ooh, ooh
Just try to hold steady
The world's getting heavy
Ooh, ooh
When you can't hold the weight
Any longer
Cry for help
Cry like rain
Let it fall down your face
Let the dam break
Cry for help
Ease the pain
When you can't hold the weight
It's okay, yeah
To cry for help
There's no telling
If these walls could talk
What they'd say
Yeah, they've seen it all
The best in me
And where it all went wrong
At the bottom
Just surviving
Reaching for the truth
Cry for help
Cry like rain
Let it fall down your face
Let the dam break
Cry for help
Ease the pain
When you can't hold the weight
It's okay
Cry for help
Ooh, ooh
Cry like rain
Cry like hell
Ooh, ooh
Cry like rain
Just surviving

Asylum
There's a reign over the horizon
The lunatics have taken the asylum
Fear is like a dagger
And blood is dripping off the blade
They wave it like a scepter
In the kingdom come of the insane
There's a wake up in the shelter
The prisoners have broke their chains
All hail the deceptors
Who poison and manipulate
Somebody sound the alarm
Somebody ring the bell
Grab the noose, the psychos are loose
And we're headed straight for hell
Ya'll better run for cover
The writing is on the wall
It's pandemonium
And Rome is about to fall
Oh, there's a reign over the horizon
The lunatics have taken the asylum
We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
The lunatics have taken the asylum
(The lunatics have taken the asylum)
(The lunatics have taken the asylum)
Deadly is the viper
That licks the venom from their fangs
Watch the way they slither, yeah
Like a parasite inside your brain
Too many sharks in the water
Circling the weakest prey
Like a sniper in the shadows
Waiting just to take his aim
There's a reign over the horizon
The lunatics have taken the asylum
We're on the edge, it's an uprisin'
The lunatics have taken the asylum
Somebody sound the alarm
Somebody ring the bell
Drop the noose, too much to lose
We gotta save ourselves
We better run for cover
The writing is on the wall
We gotta take our power back
Before they take us all

The Victim
You showed me your colors
Showed me your face
Painted with pretty lies
You broke every promise
Feeling no shame
Leaving me dead inside
And I won't
No I won't take the blame
So I run
From your cold wicked way
You ain't diggin, diggin, diggin
My grave, no
Not gonna be the victim
Don't wanna be a slave
Not gonna be addicted
To a system
I did not create
Stop making me the monster
Stop messing with my brain
Not gonna be the victim
Any longer
So get off my wave
I rest you in pieces
Ashes and dust
Spiritual suicide
Shedding my skin
Shake off the rust
Bringing me back to life

Lioness
You're tickin' like a time bomb fit to blow up everything
Sooner or later, babe, you're gonna come for me
Once upon a time was the only thing to ease your pain
Somewhere along the way you got over me
And I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could've eaten me alive
Just to show me you could
A hunter on the prowl, my feral queen, my everything
Sooner or later, babe, you'll have your way with me
And then I shake and feel the nerves
Guess that I'll get what I deserve
'Cause I couldn't let it go, yeah
I know better now, yeah
'Cause I saw you change to a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could've eaten me alive, yeah
I saw you change to a goddess
Holy, divine in your power
I could hear it in your cry
You could've cut me down to size
Just to show me you could
Show me you could
Show me you could
And I won't forget the way that you looked at me
I won't forget the way that you shook, straight rattled my bones
Won't forget how you showed me your mercy (your mercy)
And I won't forget the way that you looked at me (and I shake and feel the nerves)
I won't forget the way that you shook, straight rattled my bones (guess that I'll get what I deserve)
Won't forget how you showed me your mercy (guess that I'll get what I deserve)
('Cause I couldn't let it go)
'Cause I saw you change into a lioness
A beast in the wild, unbridled
I could see it in your eyes
You could've eaten me alive
Sooner or later, babe, you're gonna come for me
Once upon a time was the only thing to ease your pain

Break Into My Heart
Been numb so long, I just wanna feel something
I used to be so strong, how did I forget?
Has the world gone cold, have I lost my soul? Feel just like forever
Oh, now there is nothing
I just wanna feel something
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
I spent most my life always chasing something
I wonder what it's like to have no regrets
Has the world gone blind, have I lost my mind, Lord, I can't remember
Oh, I just wanna feel something
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
Here I am bleeding, living and breathing
Looking for meaning, something to believe in
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
And make me feel again
So tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
I used to be so strong, how did I forget?
Has the world gone cold, have I lost my soul? Feel just like forever
Oh, now there is nothing
I just wanna feel something
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
I spent most my life always chasing something
I wonder what it's like to have no regrets
Has the world gone blind, have I lost my mind, Lord, I can't remember
Oh, I just wanna feel something
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
Here I am bleeding, living and breathing
Looking for meaning, something to believe in
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
And make me feel again
So tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
