It's up to you! We need this revolution Destroy the pattern Anything that separates Across the times. Who dares to follow? [Pre-Chorus:] For years we wandered these circles Hold onto whatever lie gets us through [Chorus:] Design new latitudes Find ways to channel bliss Us defined, it's too fragile to neglect Reroute to Remain Reroute to Remain [Verse:] Never want, to look back in greed Can I please have your attention? There are mountains to cross For all that are willing There a never ending treasures That await you 2. System [Verse:] I cannot frame, that's why I lose control I aim, I stumble and I fall Our adaptation can't be faithful Your world does not attract me This is the end you see There is no more truth in me As if you would deserve it You are my enemy I can't ignore the way you make me bleed I hate when you throw my thoughts against the wall Got to wake up and make a stand The desperation forces another mistake I count again I know who to blame My life in vain Who said I was sane? [Pre-Chorus:] Follow your instinct It usually takes you home Don't let these words tear you down You see me hanging By the end of the rope I tell you... [Chorus:] Slow I go And the wait seems to be over All that I know Is that my life has become such a waste for you [Verse:] I blame and run, sadly all too often I dive into the day without your sympathy I tend to try but lack the focus Becoming a distant memory What once was is quickly forgotten All wrapped up inside Delete all resemblance I feel your relief 3. Drifter It's hard to believe You could be such a disease I can no longer separate what is real Hope that fate will find me safe All my reflections laugh at me You made me hide my name It just feels bad to say, That there'll be another day [Pre-Chorus:] What you wanted was impossible to define The words I hear are of scrambled letters Guess it's been there for years Never let me know, I was alright [Chorus:] What you wanted is a mystery to me The words I hear are of scrambled letters Guess it's been there for years Never let me know, I was alright Building a room with no doors Is this the last of me? Wring the rag for the last few drops Falling into infinity [Pre-Chorus:] [Chorus:] [Pre-Chorus:] [Chorus:] 4. Trigger [Verse:] Have we lost the spark or a guide? What's the latest on the screen? Can't be too late to turn around I need all the help from you I need to find Something to blame for a long lost time [Pre-Chorus:] I am running from something that I don't know I am searching for something, which way to go? I am trying to separate what's real I'm running in a wheel [Verse:] Is it dark or is it bright? What's the latest on the screen? Please tell me my name I haven't checked it today [Chorus:] From green to red our days pass by Waiting for a sign to tell us why Are we dancing all alone? Collect some stars to shine for you And start today 'cause there's only a few A sign of times my friend [Verse:] My friend avoid infinity Are you for real? Just scratch the surface And you will find Something to blame for a long lost time 5. Cloud Connected [Verse:] People like you You live in a dream world You despise the outside And you fear you're the next one It's in your dream There's just one question Should I kill? Or should I be left behind? Sick and tired Of all your complaints This is the hour We bring it down [Chorus:] I've come to realize Every little glimpse, you fade I was told that I could fly When least expected, cloud connected [Verse:] You seem to be So introverted How come we fail? With all that is given? You crossed the line You remembered my name Time runs backwards As we're heading that way 6. Transparent Consume all the obscene Persuade the most hideous and ugly Under every pile and stone A rebirth, for you to find Freedom is to be able To go in any direction So take the uncertain path [Pre-Chorus:] One foot in the open Ten feet ahead Build your own ladder And don't lie to yourself [Chorus:] Secrets left above the grave (It's not for one to keep) You're all so self destructive Spend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake) You know you're lost when you feel transparent [Verse:] Be at one with the wind Even if it's a struggle Make this your priority Open all your senses To new impressions Act like all that was has vanished 7. Dawn Of A New Day [Verse:] The thoughts of yesterday forgotten I like the way this new skin feels Bring me splinters of tomorrow Collect the parts where I win [Chorus:] Against the grain Against the odds I'll rise and I won't trip again The dawn of a new day never looked As good as this [Verse:] Concrete breath and dust filled tears A one way ride to inner peace I never thought I'd join the others Those who use the dice to solve 8. Egonomic [Verse:] A mass illusion Blind men in a line They smother their fires with gasoline A stranger's contribution Everybody's on the run No clue where they are heading A spineless attempt Have we lost it completely? It always ends up in a mess [Chorus:] A liar's ambition Praised like a king Every day in every way We are getting weaker You won't go far With the life that you're living Every day in every way We are getting weaker [Verse:] Slow and calculated Afraid of the sleeping We'll never ever reach the goal 9. Minus [Verse:] Drug me, infiltrate my never land Like the floodtide drowning the shore Drug me, you're all over me Watch my blood begin to boil I love that lullaby Start me up again Electric spine Open mind [Pre Chorus:] I leave you, negative behind Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride [Chorus:] Inhale the light Relax for some time The world outside stays numb tonight Free your mind express the forgotten The world inside is yours tonight [Verse:] Please me, deliver the insane In the chaos I find peace Please me, remind the gods of my name I believe there is one seat left for me 10. Dismiss The Cynic [Verse:] Will we find a solution When we add all the numbers? Like they are supposed to be? But no is close... Start all over! If we fail our expectations We will fall into the deepest void Is there a limit to how many times We will dust ourselves off? [Chorus:] The mystery of time Listen to me, carefully The mystery of time It's you and me That's all we need [Verse:] Would you choose supremacy If it led to isolation? Could you handle the solitude? Would you still prefer the throne? 11. Free Fall [Verse:] Mirror Mirror How far will I go? Despite the foundation I am falling Sweet reflection Will you save a place for me? Where am I heading? Could you grant me a haven? For what? I am punished could I ever repent? Mother Nature, I'm wide open Waiting for you to move me Don't keep it from me This is a free fall [Chorus:] I never seem to understand The time, the place and who I am Define a way to stay alive It's like I'm living a lie [Verse:] Father time every time I stop and feel You're there to tell me I'm already late 12. Dark Signs [Verse:] Held down, strangled and abused Cut down to half a member Left with his hand tied Everything points in the wrong direction All the joy disappeared The negative has penetrated Once he was in control What's left, the faintest laughter [Chorus:] We're out of focus, we've lost control I blame our ego and you call me names You're told that you are trapped below And dark signs helped to prove You got to reach further For what life shall provide [Verse:] Feeling pressure from the fold He believes the dream is over Drained blue eye, scorching fire The whole meaning becomes undone 13. Metaphor [Verse:] You stole my pure intention You are the sickness in between Let me in, I'll bury the pain You taught me to be sad at you You almost made me take it all Let me in, I'll bury the pain You bend me and you shake me You beg me then you break me Let me in, I'll bury the pain You made me feel like a sinner Now you fear you'll die alone Let me in, I'll bury the pain [Chorus:] The sickness that you are The plague that made me starve You think you can show me how I've come this far I feel it's taking over Everything falls dark Break me open The desperate cry 14. Black & White [Verse:] I am one with the world tonight I am proud to be this far from you You say that you have no regrets But I know that you do You told me someone stole the eye I know him too [Chorus:] I've come to the conclusion, yes I know That between black and white There is no room for two The scale it might be wide But there's no need to be blind Between black and white there is no room for two [Verse:] I leave all the grey behind I see clear, I know that I'll find You claim that you are innocent But tell me who aint You think that you're going to be saved There's no such thing as a saint Black and White There's nothing in between Black and White Nothing's what it seems In Flames is: Bjorn Gelotte - Guitars Daniel Svensson - Drums Peter Iwers - Bassguitar Jespe...
