Can't believe the sun would shine today upon all days
Do believe the men stood by the plane to take me away
Take me to another life
Take me to another world
And I won't be coming home
Even if I thought I should
Interview with other fold, tests passed with flying colours
Faces in the room with me, some stay, some leave with others
Cut the wire it's always red
Cut the wire it's sometimes blue
And I won't be coming home
Even if I wanted to
Train, rest, sleep, repeat
Train, kill, sleep, repeat
We run, we hide
We fight, we learn
We get the facts, when it's our turn
We climb, we punch
We burn and we heal
Don't care in truth, it's not in the deal
Training wheels are finally gone, prove yourself tomorrow
Take the red pill, carry on, focus be the hero
In your crosshair, take a breath
Tag the target, proof of death
Leave as if a breath of wind
Get my ground to go to
Check-in goes of easily, clues and suspects missing
Wait a day or two, be sure, exfil is the last thing
Boss is waiting, well impressed
Feeling strong and nothing stressed
Wait and train until the call
Then I'll come up smiling

We always knew that this day it would come
The easy part's over your life has begun
I cannot pretend that I'm not concerned
Remember your training and use what you've done
This is the final test you will get from me
Take your time and come back safely

Go, don't be slow
You know
To Mexico just
Go
You know
Don't be slow
To Mexico, so
Go
You know
Don't be slow
To Mexico

A world that's focused on itself
A single man dreams of wealth
They don't see me
Keep the masses entertained
Obfuscate and keep them tame
So they don't see me
Line up all the lives that have been saved
Is it worth the price we had to pay?
Stuck in an airport wasting time
Four hours late when he lands he's mine
He won't see me
Watching the lobby, details lax
Got to his bedroom and left no tracks
They don't see me
List all the lies that have been made
Is it worth the truth we had to trade?
Look at all the lives that have been lost
I'm told it's for the best, but at what cost?
One more job is what they say
Leave no trace and get away.

Don't know myself anymore
I used to believe that what I did was right, but
There's too much blood on the floor
I'm not supposed to think, not supposed to feel
There's an itch I can't ignore
Take a pill to dull the shame away
But I'm scratching at it, till it's raw
because
I need
Breathing space
Can't count the years that I've been here
Can't list the dead in my wake
Can't find one good thing that I've done
Can't stop being so afraid
My life is falling to pieces
Because
I need
Breathing space

This world is crumbling in front of your eyes
You're at the arsehole end of humanity
I've seen it a thousand times
You've been lied to manipulate, look at your crimes
To serve agendas you've never heard of
For people who do nothing but lie.
This world is done
You've seen all it's got
You've done all you can
You can't stop the rot
Please take my hand
And leave this land
Come with us
You must come with us
(I wanna go, I know I can't stay)

Staying makes sense
I know how my world works
It's confusing, dangerous
Bloody and highly suspect
But I wear it well
I've carved out my niche
It works for me
Why wouldn't it?
Leaving makes sense
I'll see things I'd never see
Be they wondrous, confusing
Dangerous and highly suspect
But I'll wear it well
I'll carve out my niche
Make sure it works for me
Why wouldn't it?

Leaving (the decision)
04:32
|
|||
|
Planned what to say and what to be done
I made a list of who to see
The final 2 mean most to me, so
I'm sitting here with an explanation
The total truth, no deviation
You'll never hear from me again
No return by boat or plane
When I say it's a million miles away
Look into my eyes and see there's no lie
Just a truth that I believe
Cause I'm leaving now
I'm going far away
I'm leaving now
I won't be back again
If you ever got the chance to do the world some good
Adventure of a lifetime, I'm sure you would
I'll miss your dearly, with all my heart and soul
This universe is such a glorious thing to see
A wonder so immense I can not see infinity
I wish I could take you, but the answers no.
Cause I'm leaving now
I'm going far away
I'm leaving now
I won't be back again

No more worry, No more shame
No more embarrassment or pain
No more sleep, No more night
No more rest, No more fight
No more news, No more lies
No need to wipe shit from your eyes
No more sky, No more sun
No one to tell you right from wrong
No more panic, No more calm
No more pleasure, No more harm
No more taste, No more smell
No more heaven, No more hell
No one left to point the way
No more straight, No more gay
No more arguing over rights
Cause everyone can see the light
No more crashing satellites
No more dark or northern lights
No more gods up in the sky
No more reasons left to die
So a curtain has been raised
To help me see through the haze
That the infinite is now
And I will gladly show you how
No more truth, No more lies
No more hiding in the skies
No more pictures, No more sound
No more weeping on the ground
No more up and No more down
No more running No more loud
No more feeling only numb
No more desperate urge to come
And so my is nearly gone
To leave the earth and carry on
I'll take the fight beyond the way
Be the hero save the day
I'll use the honesty of use
A guiding light of love
Keep those who need it safe from harm
Instill a universal calm
Yeah!
