[English]

Watch out for us

Watch out for us

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

(I'm dying to feel this)

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

Bones in the water and dust in my lungs

Absorbing archaic like a sponge

The ultimate way, is the way you control

But can you stay if you detach your soul?

Bury the present and squeeze out the past

The ones who endear to never last

Chemical burns and the animalistic

I'm just another hard-line pseudo-statistic

(I'm just another hard-line pseudo-statistic)

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

(I'm dying to feel this)

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

Blood on the paper and skin on my teeth

Trying to commit to what's beneath

To find the time is to lose the momentum

I can learn the lessons and immediately forget them

Automatic and out of my reach

Consult all the waste to find the key

Minimal life and the polysyllabic

I'm just another blank page

Push the button, pull the rage

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

(I'm dying to feel this)

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

I am all

But what am I?

Another number that isn't equal to any of you

I control but I comply

Pick me apart then pick up the pieces

I'm uneven!

One, two, three!

I am the damaged one

All my life and the damage done

I am the damaged one

All my life and the damage done

I am the damaged one

All my life and the damage done

I am the damaged one

All my life and the damage done

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

(I'm dying to feel this)

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

(I'm dying to feel this)

Can you feel this?

(Can you feel this?)

I'm dying to feel this

(I'm dying to feel this)

I am all

But what am I?

Another number that isn't equal to any of you

I control but I comply

Pick me apart then pick up the pieces

(I'm uneven!)

I am all

But what am I?

Another number that isn't equal to any of you

I control but I comply

Pick me apart then pick up the pieces

I'm uneven!
