Lyrics[]

In the silence, you'll find gold
Where you feel warmth, I feel so cold
Can't get no sleep, I'm up till dawn
These demons have broken my goal
 
And I know
And I know
And I know
That you see my life
In foreign eyes
 
And I know
And I know
And I know
That you hear my cry
Tears tell no lie
 
Let our guards down
It's time to break the taboo
Before we all become
Animals, animals
 
Echoes in my head
Gotta break the taboo
No, we will never be
Criminals, criminals
 
Sticks and stones
Won't break my soul
Gotta be your own
Miracle, miracle
 
It's in my bones
Gotta break the taboo
Before we all become
Animals, animals
 
I know that I am not alone
Let all our thoughts and ghosts unfold
In the darkness, I've found home
But what is next is still unknown
 
And I know
And I know
And I know
That you hear my cry
Tears tell no lie
 
Let our guards down
It's time to break the taboo
Before we all become
Animals, animals
 
Echoes in my head
Gotta break the taboo
No, we will never be
Criminals, criminals
 
Sticks and stones
Won't break my soul
Gotta be your own
Miracle, miracle
 
It's in my bones
Gotta break the taboo
Before we all become
Animals, animals
 
Break the taboo
Break the taboo
Break the taboo
 
Let our guards down
It's time to break the taboo
Before we all become
Animals, animals
 
Echoes in my head
Gotta break the taboo
No, we will never be
Criminals, criminals
 
Sticks and stones
Won't break my soul
Gotta be your own
Miracle, miracle
 
It's in my bones
Gotta break the taboo
Before we all become
Animals, animals
