[Intro]

Thou shalt not


[Verse 1]

Kill your fathers, destroy another life

Question everything we clung to for years

Live forever, design a better death

Confuse a liar with a savior from fear

Create a myth and separate the chosen ones

Adolescent independence, dominion

I only wanna believe in fucking anything

But now my conscience is contradicting everything


[Pre-Chorus 1]

The ending's the same

The world will not change

The answer is clear


[Verse 2]

Tell your mothers they have no sons or daughters

Blame yourselves because your children are mine

We are orphans, but we are not forgotten

And we will find a way to save us this time

We can run, but we are tired of running

We're dropping seconds in a glass 'til we die

We only wanna believe in fucking everything

But we're alive, and we're not accepting anything


[Pre-Chorus 2]

The ending's the same

The world will not change

The answer is clear

Annihilation


[Chorus]

I won't control or restrain

Things I do not understand

Now I realize I'm stronger, better

They gave to me, now I give to you

The means to burn the thoughts I had

Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more


[Bridge]

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves


[Verse 3]

I will never become another piece

Inside the paralytic construct I hate

Live forever, well I would rather die

At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create

This is yours, but you had better choose

Before they take away your right to decide

I guess I'll never believe in fucking anything

But my solace is I can handle everything


[Pre-Chorus 3]

The ending's the same

The world will not change

The answer is clear

Obliteration


[Chorus]

I won't control or restrain

Things I do not understand

Now I realize I'm stronger, better

They gave to me, now I give to you

The means to burn the thoughts I had

Now I realize I'm stronger, better


[Chorus]

I won't control or restrain

Things I do not understand

Now I realize I'm stronger, better

They gave to me, now I give to you

The means to burn the thoughts I had

Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more


[Outro]

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves

We have to save ourselves
