Stop and think 'bout how the rules work First you expect the best then it turns out the worst But what happens is nothing of those What seemed to be true is not even close You may stay behind my back While I stand by your side Get checked or get wrecked You won't be bored 'till the end of time Is it absent Is it almost there Feels like I can tell It's always close I would say that you missed it when it came I can't change your ways So get ready to play There are many ways To set a flame Awaiting disaster Be careful what you say And stay in your lane 'cause this is no game Step off the trail but pick up the pace Thought you'd be different but that's not the case Took you a while to get out of this place Just take your time to not to go out in disgrace You may stay behind my back While I stand by your side Get checked or get wrecked You won't be bored 'till the end of time Is it absent Is it almost there Feels like I can tell It's always close I would say that you missed it when it came I can't change your ways So get ready to play There are many ways To set a flame Awaiting disaster Be careful what you say And stay in your lane 'cause this is no game No way There are many ways To set a flame Awaiting disaster Be careful what you say And stay in your lane 'cause this is no game

It messes up everything inside me It messes up everything inside me No way I'll let go what I worked for, I'm blinded If I would rethink all I've sacrificed for it I would never let anything take control before me I will bring it up, you should take it for granted You won't take from me this shit I invented This scene demands putting it all on the line No worries 'cause in the end I'll take back what's mine Fuck I can't control the chaos But I can control myself And all that I'm made of Don't ask me if it pays off Don't ask me if it pays off At least I know what I am made of Don't ask me if it pays off At least I know what I am made of Don't ask me if it pays off Fuck I cannot tell you that my sight is blurred 'Cause there is always something that reminds me of the murk My whole mind is strangled, wrestling with thoughts Can't keep constantly falling in these traps of my own flaws All the things I keep in my mind they are keeping me up There is no sense of relief, I have to shout out loud I know by myself what I should have done by now Fuck I can't control the chaos But I can control myself And all that I'm made of Don't ask me if it pays off Don't ask me if it pays off At least I know what I am made of Don't ask me if it pays off At least I know what I am made of Don't ask me if it pays off Don't ask me if it pays off Fuck

Fly around like you're attached to a parachute Head kept so high you're not aware of the altitude Caught red handed while stealing the truth But when the time comes it will catch up to you Careful 'cause you can end up condemned To things you never thought of to this extent Why would you stick to these guns that won't prevent The cries and lies that lay in the depths Awaken from The dream that holds The lies within Deep in your skin Awaiting Enlightment Nobody will keep you out of harm's way Can't escape the cycle of that maze These words will never burn off that waste Let it fade out into blank space Remind yourself what happened What finally gets you always seems so far-fetched Think before you get drown in the madness Think you're the king? Then it left you crownless Wound up to your limits close to the breaking point Don't go by yourself 'cause that just won't work Find the keys to the locked zone Find your way to the place unknown Rise from the ashes Release the burden that crushes Rise from the ashes Release the burden that crushes Keep yourself Ready for change Heart racing Won't change what you're up to No Chase what you're after Nobody will keep you out of harm's way Can't escape the cycle of that maze These words will never burn off that waste Let it fade out into blank space
