The following lyrics have yet to be made official:
    Cheating
+
    Changing
+
   
+
    Am I deaf or dead?
+
    Is this constricting construction,
+
    or just streets with rusty signs,
+
    of something violent
+
    coming?
+
   
+
    This will hurt you
+
    worse than me.
+
    I'm weak,
+
    7 days i'm weak.
+
    Don't run from me.
+
    I won't bother
+
    counting 1, 2, 3...
+
   
+
    I don't know which me that I love
+
    I've got no reflection
+
    I don't know which me that I love
+
    I've got no reflection
+
   
+
    I can show myself
+
    how to make a noose.
+
    A gun's cliche,
+
    and a razor too.
+
    I'm not a death-trip vacation
+
    vacant station,
+
    made of scars
+
    and filled with my old wounds.
+
   
+
    This will hurt you
+
    worse than me.
+
    I'm weak,
+
    7 days i'm weak.
+
    Don't run from me.
+
    I won't bother
+
    counting 1, 2, 3...

    I don't know which me that I love
+
    I've got no reflection
+
    I don't know which me that I love
+
    I've got no reflection
+
   
+
    You...
+
    you don't even want to know
+
    what I'm gonna do to you
+
    you don't even want to know
+
    what I'm gonna do to you
+
   
+
    I don't know which me that I love
+
    I've got no reflection

    I don't know which me that I love

    I've got no reflection
