The night shows who you are Darkness I became The loneliness my only friend showed me Who I am A million scars, but still no pain Again and again, I don't feel a thing And darkness I became A window becomes a mirror at night Face yourself, see what's buried inside Find yourself, define yourself Object, contradict Then reconcile with yourself Can't you feel? That the night holds your heart And it heals What the day has torn apart Can't you feel? That the night holds your heart Can't you see? The night shows who you are Darkness I became The loneliness my only friend showed me Who I am A million scars, but still no pain Again and again, I don't feel a thing The demons told me who I am The demons told me who I am Who I am Who I am (and darkness I became) Who I am Darkness I became (darkness I became) The loneliness my only friend showed me Who I am A million scars, but still no pain Again and again, I don't feel a thing Who I am 8.

Hibernate It's a silent place I still hibernate Winter in my veins Maybe it's too late Time is ticking away I've been turning in circles I'm restless and selfless, I fade Where do I belong? I slowly fade away I can't feel love nor pain Where do I belong? I slowly fade away No love, no shine Motionless inside It's so unbearably quiet It's so unbearably quiet I can no longer hide Hope and fear collides I'm sleepwalking again Between the dark and dawn Where do I belong? Where do I belong? I slowly fade away I can't feel love nor pain Where do I belong? I slowly fade away No love, no shine My heart is spun, spun in a cocoon So secure yet lost left alone What is right and what is wrong Where do I, where do I belong? Where do I belong? Where do I belong? Where do I belong? I slowly fade away I can't feel love nor pain Where do I belong? I slowly fade away No love, no shine 10. mOther I can hear your silent call 'Cause all we have is this impossible world Adapt or perish, the merciless imperative The crown of creation?

If we're just born to die and live to fail So we are lost in the fire The price we pay by ourselves We black out the sun Dust and dirty air in our lungs Salvation, there is none, there is none A burning paradise, burning paradise Leading to demise, leading to demise We build, we dig, we kill Until the day grows still We build, we dig, we kill Until the day grows still We build, we dig, we kill Until the day grows still We build, we dig, we kill Until the day grows still So we are lost in the fire Since our earth became hell But we still keep on denying Our mother's decay Could we change? If we're just born to die and live to fail So we are lost in the fire The price we pay by ourselves Mother, mother I can feel your aching heart Mother, mother Everything is falling apart Your sun shines in us Once and for all Your river flows through us Swelling in my core I can hear your silent call 'Cause all we have is this impossible world What have we become?
