[Verse 1: Rudi Schwarzer]
I give it all, shoot for the stars
You feed yourself while I starve
You never had my back, not a bit
You left me hanging, I call it quits, you damn hypocrite
You were faking, simulating
But the times have changed
No more hiding, no disguising
Lay down your veil
Lay down your veil

[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
I can't see through your eyes
I can't justify the way you bled me dry

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek with Rudi Schwarzer]
Woah, we built this world for you
(I) I can see right through you
Every time I died some more on the inside
You bleed me, you bleed me dry like a parasite

[Post-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
Like a parasite
Like a parasite

[Verse 2: Rudi Schwarzer]
It is a matter of give and take
Not fighting for your own sake, backstabber
And in the final aftermath
You will show me your bare face without the mask
You were faking, simulating
But the times have changed
No more hiding, no disguising
Lay down your veil
Lay down your veil
[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
I can't see through your eyes
I can't justify the way you bled me dry

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek with Rudi Schwarzer]
(Woah) We built this world for you
(I) I can see right through you
Every time I died some more on the inside
You bleed me, you bleed me dry like a parasite

[Post-Chorus: Rudi Schwarzer with Christoph Wieczorek]
Yeah, like a parasite
Yeah, like a parasite

[Bridge: Christoph Wieczorek, Rudi Schwarzer, Both]
Choke on the air you breathe
I won't let you sow your seeds
I won't hear the lies you preach
I won't be the fool you bleed
I choke on the air you breathe
I won't let you sow your seeds
I won't hear the lies you preach
I won't be the fool you bleed
After all of this
You still try to stab my back
While you're losing ground
You still try to bring me down
[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek with Rudi Schwarzer]
(Woah) We built this world for you
(I) I can see right through you
Every time I died some more on the inside
You bleed me, you bleed me dry like a parasite
