Am I afraid to say? I am afraid to say Am I afraid to say? I am afraid to say I don’t wanna live alone in this selfish world I don’t wanna die alone in this selfish world I don’t wanna fuck myself in this selfish world I don’t wanna cry alone in this selfish world Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? Are you afraid to say? I don’t wanna die alone in this selfish world I don’t wanna die alone in this selfish world I don’t wanna die alone in this selfish world I don’t wanna die alone! credits

Estás cansado Estás perdido Toda tu vida está pendiendo de un hilo No tienes tino No tienes suerte Los días pasan y te hundes en tu sino Ganas de poco Fuera de foco Te desmereces y te abonas al olvido Abandonado Incomprendido Tocado no es lo tuyo, lo tuyo se llama hundido Tu puedes si quieres Si quieres tu puedes Rendirse no es para los fuertes Toda una vida buscando culpables Condenándote a fracasar No te lamentes Mira hacia el frente Tu tiempo es oro Échale huevos Se valiente Tu puedes si quieres Si quieres tu puedes Rendirse no es para los fuertes

If you wanna shape the way they think If you wanna breed a herd like you If you’re too small to deal with dissent New punk rock might be the place for you If you thrive on insecurity If contradictions are your favorite dish If you’re petty to the very core New punk rock might be the place for you If you’re ego’s standing in the way If you’ve been called a fascist in disguise If you ask for more than what you wanna give New punk rock might be the place for you If you’re too cool for what they have to say If feelings are facts and facts are to blame If you’re feeling like the world owes you New punk rock might be the place for you I can’t take you I will break you I will rock you to the very core I’ll destroy you I will shame you I will rock you to the very core When did freedom lose its name? When did freedom lose its way? When did freedom lose its name? When did freedom lose its way?

Are you fired up? Are you wired? Are you sometimes down And others simply tired? Is it getting harder to leave your space? Is it getting harder to put a smile on your face? Darararara Fade away You wanna break away You wanna change your ways You wanna run away You wanna change your pace You’re gonna fade away You’re gonna fade away You wanna fade away You wanna Messed in the head Depressed in the head now

If our love burns down If I drag it on the ground Will you carry along Pretending it ain’t dead? If you burry me Will it bring you to your knees? Would you ever care If I don’t care at all? When our love goes round Like the world goes round Would you care if you ever found, Would I care if I ever find out That we don’t care? Will you marry me if I never say, If I never do what you want me to? Will you ever care… if I show I don’t really care? Will I marry you if you never say, If you never do what I want you to? Will I ever care… if you show you don’t really care? Try to love Try to stay Try to love us every day (When our love goes round Like the world goes round) Try to love Try to stay Try to love us every day

What’s the price you wanna pay? How much time do you wanna waste away on me? Too many reasons to give in But you only need one to stay clean Too many reasons to let go But where there’s love the root grows strong Too many reasons to burn inside But the more we grow the more we forgive Too many reasons to blow up But with my peace your doubt gives up Give me the power Give me the strength Give me the courage And the promise that we’ll stay true till the end Give me the knowledge Give me the light Give me the answers Give me faith! Don't let us waste away! What’s the price you wanna pay? How much time do you wanna waste away on me?

As the world lies dying You turn your back don’t hear it shout Or feel the pain in every word And drain the anger drain the doubt? As the world lies crying Do you give more than you will take? Do you provide the shelter For the ones about to break? Break away from yourself So you can become a part of the rest? Break away from yourself So you can become one with the world? As the world lies dying Do you become the helping hand? Or make your best to run away? Forget the ones you left behind? As the world lies crying Do you become the bigger man? Or do you try to hide away? Where no one can see you and your shame? Will you keep on trying? As the world lies dying? Break away from yourself So you can become a part of the rest? Break away from yourself I used to be on an endless run Believed in miracles 'cause I'm one I've been blessed with the power to survive After all these years I'm still alive Oh, I believe in miracles Oh, I believe in a better world for me and you Oh, oh, I believe in miracles Oh, oh, I believe in a better world for me and you

Feeling high or feeling low Nobody needs to know Feeling right or feeling wrong Nobody needs to know Feeling weak or feeling strong Nobody needs to know Feeling cool or feeling lame Nobody needs to know Don’t forget to tell the world about it Don’t forget to make yourself shine in their eyes Nobody cares about you Nobody cares about you Nobody cares about you Nobody needs to know Feeling pride or feeling shame Nobody needs to know Feeling sad or feeling joy Nobody needs to know Feeling stressed or feeling peace Nobody needs to know Feeling lost or feeling blessed Nobody needs to know Don’t forget to tell the world about it Don’t forget to make yourself shine in their eyes Nobody cares about you Nobody cares about you Nobody cares about you Nobody needs to know

Trade away Your identity to the mob It’s just a bougie Another bougie revolution Check your privilege Check your race Hide your gender Unless you have the scars to show you’re late To the party Of the oppressed Where we all show how much we lost How much was taken away What’s your sex? What’s your name? Show us your pronouns or you’ll serve Time in the prison of moral decay Show us your badge Your stripes, your stars Are you a member, of the insufferable western middle class? Trade away Your identity to the mob It’s just a bougie Another bougie revolution
10.
All the wisdom that we have dismissed All the knowledge lost to our prepotency The arrogance and the egocentricity Ingrained in what we like to call humanity Aim for more Aim to set yourself free Of all the damage we’re designed to inflict
