Close your eyes, shut your mouth
Shut off all your senses, it'll get easier
Let your shoulders drop back into place
There's a bang bang again
It's a dark evening, but the streets are full of idiots
You speed up, passing everything you see
This city is screaming, what's happening where and when
Even if people come to help, who can be bothered to be happy anymore
When nothing feels like anything anymore
And nobody touches for free anymore
So Peter f*cks whoever he can
But Helinä won't get high if she's not paid
When the lights go out, you see everything
When the lights go out, you stay awake
You close your eyes, you breathe
You'll still get through all of this
Someone took your strength, though you screamed no
This is the highway of madness
You open your eyes, you breathe
Maybe tomorrow you'll understand
You want to get off the wheel
That's spinning but no longer getting you anywhere
You run to the finish line, from the finish line
But you can't create anything beautiful anymore
You hate so much how extremism fuels hatred
Vegans are fighting about
Who here dares to eat the flesh of fruit
That through his wounds we are healed
If you stray from the path
Are all the burial plots taken after all?
When the lights go out, you see everything
When the lights go out, you stay awake
You close your eyes, you breathe
You'll still get through all of this
Someone took your strength, though you screamed no
This is the highway of madness
You open your eyes, you breathe
You'll understand tomorrow
Close your eyes, shut your mouth
Shut off all your senses, it'll get easier
When the lights go out, you see everything
When the lights go out, you stay awake
You close your eyes, you breathe
You'll still get through all of this
Someone took your strength, though you screamed no
This is the highway of madness
You open your eyes, you breathe
You'll understand tomorrow
