Today you're their best friend
But believe me tomorrow
They don't even know your name
Friendship is a word that has lost it's meaning
And making friends a funny game

Tell me why, tell me why
It's always been the same
Tell me why, tell me why
Hello and goodbye

They came without warning
They won't leave when you want it
You wish you could beam 'em away
But when you really need them
They will never appear
And if you ask them they will never stay

Tell me why, tell me why
It's always been the same
Tell me why, tell me why
Hello and goodbye

Hello and goodbye

It's always been the same
It's always been the same

I can see by your eyes
You thought they'll never go
But tell me please where are they now
Remember me boy 'cause I told you so
But believe me you'll get through somehow

Well dear friend I guess we both know the scene
You and yourself placed in the corner of the ring
Those unforgiven memories travelling down
Your face winners and losers in a senseless race
The first hit is to be forgiven
But the second counts you out
And if you shout out for help here
You'd better shout out loud

Haunted head and heart

Are we brothers in arms in different dream
Dreams long long gone and ruled by dead kings and queens
A lot of things happen there's nothing you can do
The latest truth is a liar cause today is brandnew
Maybe sleep is a station but life is a train
And if it will pass you better jump on again

Haunted head and heart

You'll never kiss the world brandnew
I hope you understand
That in the end you're on your own
And happy words are bland

Left home with a friend of mine
Gone two years and I don't know why
Now I'm happy all the time
I can't think and I'm feelin' fine
Girl put me in a situation
Going through soft core mutation
Think you heard this all before
Now you're gonna hear some more
I know a place where dreams get crushed
Hopes are smashed but that ain't much
Voluntary experimentation
Going through soft core mutation
I'm going under
Down under where the lights are low
To a place where all the mutants go
Doing things I never did before
Inside out and coming back for more
Little girls with the four red lips
Never knew it could be like this
You put me in a situation
Goin' through soft core mutation

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save mehow now you're everybody's fool

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I’ve become so numb
Without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I’ve become

Now that I know what I’m without
You can’t just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I’ve become

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love darling
Only you are the life among
The dead

All this time I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don’t let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

[Guitar Solo Open]

I took their smiles and I made them mine.
I sold my soul just to hide the light.
And now I see what I really am,
A thief a whore, and a liar.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.

Im numb to you - numb and deaf and blind.
You give me all but the reason why.
I reach but I feel only air at night.
Not you, not love, just nothing.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.

Try to forget you,
But without you I feel nothing.
Don't leave me here, by myself.
I can't breathe.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.

I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away,
Farther away,
farther away,
farther away,
farther away,
farther away.
