Down In Flames Songtext
von Ballast

A Swedish nesting instinct keeps
The scars from burning sessions
A job I don′t want, I don't need
Fulfills lifestyle obsessions

Cry hard and try to get some sleep
And fear the freedom fire
Lights on, lights out, lie to my fist
Mr. Hide

Things you own end up owning you as a house pet
Nothing solved, big tourist
Insomnia′s become your friend
Friend?

I want to breathe smoke with you
It hurts me more than cancer
I feel the smell of drying blood
From fight all night against me


Being clever is working great
To keep grey this flat dimension
Dynamite useful information
To stop the dance and walk

Things you own end up owning you as a house pet
Problems gone for now while
Insomnia's still your friend
(A friend that)

Make the world burn down in flames and
Blow up who you became
There's no better way to repair
Than destroying something beautiful
In despair

Put a gun in my head
Paint the walls with my brain
Never asleep, never awake
A copy (of a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a copy)

Only when everything′s lost
We break the chain of slavery
Posing as a house pet
Doesn′t keep the predator away

Things we own end up owning us
'Till we explode them off


Make the world burn down in flames and
Blow up who you became
(Blow up who you became)
There′s no better way to repair
(To repair)
Than destroying something beautiful
In despair
