It's alright
to tell me
what you think
about me
I won't try
to argue
or hold it
against you
I know that
you're leaving
you must have
your reasons
The season
is calling
and your pictures
are falling down

The steps that
I retrace
the sad look
on your face
The timing
and structure
did you hear
he fucked her?
A day late
a buck short
I'm writing
the report
On losing
and failing
when I move
I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well I guess this is growing up

And maybe
I'll see you
at a movie
sneak preview
You'll show up
and walk by
on the arm
of that guy
And I'll smile
and you'll wave
we'll pretend
it's okay
The charade
it won't last
when he's gone
I won't come back

And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up [4x]
Well, I guess this is growing up

Crying out loud for someone to save you
Numb to everything in life
I’ve been dead to you for way too long

You take me away (away)
Now you're bringing me back to life, back to life

Here we are buried under our lives
In a world, oh so cold
Frozen in a moment, just close your eyes
Life was all a dream so put me to sleep

I’ll follow the blood, to you my God
Bring this puzzle back, back to life

I’ve been dead to you for way too long

You take me away (away)
Now you're bringing me back to life, back to life

(Life was all a dream so put me to sleep
Life was all a dream so put me to sleep)

Bring me to life, life, life
Bring me to life, life, life
Bring me to life, life, life
Bring me to life, life, life

I’m on the edge of losing it all
Desperately looking for something
Crying out for someone to save you (Something)
Through the words that somebody gave you (Something)
Breathe into me

He took me away
Now he's bringing me back
Now he's bringing me, now he's bringing me
Now he's bringing me back

You take me away
Now you're bringing me back to life, back to life

Bring me to life, life, life
(I’ve been dead to you for way too long)
Bring me to life, life, life
Bring me to life

I can't
Seem to crawl away
I'm lost and so ashamed
Careless but so afraid
My life is fading

Every day's another test
Of fighting my addictions
Placing myself in situations
Will it ever go away?
Situations
Will it ever go away?
Situations

I used to never dream but now
I only have nightmares (nightmares)
Will you save me from this darkness?
Keep me surrounded

I hear you calling me
I need to feel you
To end my agony and wash it all away

Let me feel you
Reaching for me
I need to be
I need to be surrounded by you
Will it ever go away?
(Nightmares) Situations
(Nightmares) Will it ever go away?
(Nightmares) Situations

I used to never dream but now
I only have nightmares (nightmares)
Will you save me from this darkness?
Keep me surrounded
Nightmares
Nightmares
Nightmares

I'm standing in the shadows
I can't hide it anymore
The moon is full
And it's taking over me

I just can't take it
I just can't take it anymore
This curse is haunting
Haunting me just like a ghost

I can feel it taking
I can feel it taking over me
There's no stopping me
I'm addicted to what I've become
I can feel you shaking
I can feel you shaking on your knees
There's no stopping me
You're addicted to what I've become

My heart is racing
I can't stop chasing after you
Your heart stops beating
And I can't resist the taste of you
Can you feel me breathing down the back of your neck
I can hear you screaming
Screaming for the beast in me

I can feel it taking, taking over me
There's no stopping me
I can feel it taking
I'm addicted to what I've become

I can feel it taking
I can feel it taking over me
There's no stopping me
I'm addicted to what I've become
I can feel you shaking
I can feel you shaking on your knees
There's no stopping me
You're addicted to what I've become

I'm addicted
I'm addicted

I can feel it taking
I can feel it taking over me
There's no stopping me
I'm addicted to what I've become
I can feel you shaking
I can feel you shaking on your knees
There's no stopping me
You're addicted to what I've become

I’ve got this mic and a way with words
Well you've got those moves and yeah you're so sure
It’s always nice to be the center of attention
It must be hard when I’m here and did I mention

We are here to stay
So you better just
Watch what you say

Whoa you don't know just how it feels
To be the one everybody's got their eyes on
They’re so in love
Whoa you don't know just how it feels
To be the one everybody's got their eyes on
They’re so in love

And when the lights start dimmin'
You’ll be askin' me to make this room to stop spinnin' for ya
Now let me offer my apology
I’m only sorry that you can't stop callin' me

Cuz you make it such a chore
And I don't even know
What you're waiting for

I’m only good at what I do because I always keep you wantin' more

Whoa you don't know just how it feels
To be the one everybody's got their eyes on
They’re so in love
Whoa you don't know just how it feels
To be the one everybody's got their eyes on
They’re so in love

Are you the one everybody's got their eyes on?
(We are here to stay)
I’ve got this mic and a way with words
Well you've got those moves and yeah you're so sure
(We are here to stay)
It’s always nice to be the center of attention
Ain’t it nice to be the center of attention?

Now you know just how it feels to be the center of attention
(Center of attention)
Now you know just how it feels to be the center of attention

Whoa they don't know just how it feels
To be the one everybody's got their eyes on
I’m so in love
Whoa they don't know just how it feels
To be the one everybody's got their eyes on
I’m so in love

Suddenly everything I stood against
Is now everything I can't live without

Onto my knees I fall faster and faster
I shut you out of my life for so many years
It feels like there is nothing left

Here I am in the exact same place
I said I'd never be again
I shut you out, but now I need you most
Only you can save us now

You'll never give up
You're so thirsty for more
No matter how hard I try,
You're there until the end of time

You're the only one who can save us
You're the only one who can save us now

Here I am in the exact same place
I said I'd never be again
I shut you out, but now I need you most
Only you can save us now

Feel me slip away
I can’t believe this is the end
Will this be in vain?
Rise from my grave and scream your name

Running away within a chase of destiny
There’s no escaping its grasp
This is the end of my road
Until the dawn of my death

All the things I held close to me
Burn away and turn into ash

Life was all in vain
I’ve left my grave
You took me away

This is the end of my road
This is the end of my road
Feel me slip away
I can’t believe its leaving

I’m not afraid
This is my fate
I know there is no way out

Either way I try
It’s always a fight against time
I’m living in denial
Seems like I’ve been here for awhile
Until the dawn of my death

Take your time
Take it slow
You've got to hold on to what you know
Breathe in now and let it go
If you live too fast you'll find
Your whole life has passed you by
And my whole world is upside down
I need to get my feet back on the ground

This the way we've learned to operate
Whoa, whoa
So take your time
And don't hesitate
To let it all out
All we need is a little direction
A pinch of affection
Goes a long way in this line
So take your time
And take it slow
We can make it out alive

We get built up
Like crashing tidal waves
Against the shore line
We're not safe
But we'll be alright
And when we're lost
We're sure we'll be found
We're making our back way around
Now we're homebound
Don't say that this is the end
We'll make it
Just pray that it all depends
On how we take it

This the way we've learned to operate
Whoa, whoa
So take your time
And don't hesitate
To let it all out
All we need is a little direction
A pinch of affection
Goes a long way in this line
So take your time
And take it slow
We can make it out alive

Alive

Is it me or is it hot in here?
I should have never brought the heat
because it's getting severe

All the people in the back
gotta get to the front
we're lighting up the stage
so get up, get up!

We're not just here to fake it
we're gonna rock you to make you shake it
I'm gonna tear it down
I'm gonna bring it around
We're the new kids in town
So turn it up now!

So let me know, let me know
How long until you're ready to go
You've been waiting all your life
and we've only got tonight

So are you ready to go, ready to go?
The clocks ticking and we're late for the show
All you've got to do is show me some love
and we'll get down until the morning,
down until the morning comes

Saddle up we're gonna do it right
We're gonna party everyday and every night

all you gotta do is show me some love
and we'll get down until the morning,
down until the morning comes.

Our ship being pummeled by the angry waves
And their is not an ounce of fear in your voice
These dark burning clouds come burn the sky come burn the sky tonight
And their is no man who can sleep through this

And their is nowhere
Nowhere that I would rather be
Keep me close to you
Your all I need

What if I stand here
What if I trust you
Where is the me I use to know
Can you help me find my way (keep me close to you)
What if you reached out and I try to touch you
Would I be buried in the waves
I'm taking steps into the water
Your all I need

I'll set all my fear aside
I'll focus my eyes
I'll focus my eyes to you

What if I stand here
What if I trust you
Where is the me I use to know
Can you help me find my way (keep me close to you)
What if you reached out and I try to touch you
Would I be buried in the waves
I'm taking steps into the water

Everything I said I'd get now
Everything I can't live without
Where is the me I use to know
My god I feel stranded in my lack of commitment

What if I stand here
What if I trust you
Where is the me I use to know
What if you reached out and I can you touch you
To touch you

(I'm taking myself into the water)
What if I stand here
What if I trust you
Where is the me I use to know
What if you reached out and I try to touch you

I'm taking self into the water

(Hello!?)

And there's the rub, we can talk for a while
But I have sweet nothings to say
You don't want me anyway, you don't want me anyway
So why, why should I stay?

So goodbye to you and your life
Your new best friends, your confidence
And I'll be here when you get home

Sitting halfway, away from nowhere
Praying for our lips to touch
Holding myself for a second
Just to catch you smile on this line

So goodbye to you and your life (two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends, your confidence (turn my hours into days)
And I'll be here when you get home (when you get home)

So goodbye to you and your life (two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends, your confidence (turn my hours into days)
And I'll be here when you get home, when you get home

[Voices:] I can't feel the same about you anymore [many times]

Is it just like you said it would be (it's never easy),
I can't feel this way about you anymore
Is it just like you said it would be (it's never easy),
I can't feel the same

I can't feel this way,
I can't feel the same about you anymore (it's never easy)
About you anymore (it's never easy)
No, I can't feel this way
I can't feel the same about you anymore (it's never easy)
About you anymore (it's never easy)
About you anymore

Define the marks prepare to laugh
So sorry you never had your reasons
Loose the lips and sink the ships
A cycle broken and amused

Rules and games playful moments
That won't last no matter how it feels
Ropes that strain to catch the picture frames
No never what is real

Avenues we all confuse
These maps will make them disappear
Mountains side your feelings lie
For better sense without your fear

Stay with me now
Now I can hide away
Stay with me now
Driving the lights away
Stay with me now
Now we can find away

Kick start your heart
Just like an engine
battered and over-used
Are we really ready?
I don't think it's any use

If you think it feels close to you
Hey angel, there's nothing left to loose

Please, believe in what I have to say
The symptoms that you have are so lost
Your wires are crossed, are you leaving?

Discarded on the floor
We feel the pain, nestled in overtures
If you're telling truths to me
so sorry to let it go

If you think it feels close to you
Hey angel, it's hardly a worn excuse

Please, believe in what I have to say
The symptoms that you have are so lost
Your wires are crossed, are you leaving?
Well just leave and never analyse the way
You didn't like the look of his eyes or of his smile
You have to leave it and run away

Please, believe in what I have to say
The symptoms that you have are so lost
Your wires are crossed, are you leaving?
Well just leave and never analyse the way
You didn't like the look of his eyes or of his smile
You have to leave it and run away

Growing up, around these streets
Never really felt quite like, like anything
Expect nothing, and have the chance
To really go somewhere, that you can't

My love is exploitation
Not a passing celebration
And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history

Gonna turn this town, upside down
Weekends on railway lines just to feel
Promises broken at a quarter past five
Burning fires on the railway hillsides

My love is exploitation
Not a passing celebration
And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history

And the grass is greener
On the other side
That's where I want to be
Somewhere that she can really see

We all go out like we come in
Kicking and screaming
We all go out like we come in
Kicking and screaming
We all go out like we come in
Kicking and screaming

My love is exploitation
Not a passing celebration
And I don't want to feel
Like a part of history

And the grass is greener
On the other side
That's where I want to be
Somewhere that she can really see

Where's the emotion?
Tuned to the sound of sincerity
Without connection
The lesson doesn't come for free
Senseless distractions
Your spoken words are just a lie
These interactions
The desperate act of fleeting minds

Constant illuminations
With no hope of preservation
Nothing but friendly fire
Soon you will be home again

Buried expression
They are the heart of everything
Distant impressions
When there is nothing left to say
So damn lucky
To be hear at the end of the end of the day
So damn lucky
When all the streets still cal your name

Constant illuminations
With no hope of preservation
Nothing but friendly fire
Soon you will be home again

(Spirit dies within)

Constant illuminations
With no hope of preservation
Nothing but friendly fire
Soon you will be home again

The spirit, the spirit, the spirit
It dies within

Maybe I'm a pessimist
What if all the grey clouds in the sky
Follow me home tonight?

Maybe I'm an atheist
What if there's no god waiting to greet me
At the end of the working week

Maybe I'm just delicate
Maybe I am...

Just not clever enough to persuade
Everyone of the reasons
We're failing each other
And it's not the same, not the same to me
No it's not the same, not the same to me

Maybe I'm an optimist
What if all the damage that was done
Was never up to me?

Maybe I'm a liar
What if all the truths that I have told
Are better left, better left unsaid?

What sticks to me
Sticks to you like glue

Maybe I'm just delicate
Maybe I am...

Just not clever enough to persuade
Everyone of the reasons
We're failing each other
And it's not the same, not the same to me
No it's not the same, not the same to me
So I'll pack up my bags and leave
I'll pack up my bags and leave

Give me something to believe in
Something that is real
A moment of reflection
What should I believe?

I've lost my innocence
If you see it around please tell it to call

(I can't stomach, my own stomach)

It can't tell me truths I need
When what I feel and what I see isn't even real

(What should I believe?)

Give me something to believe in
Something that is real
A moment of reflection
What should I believe?

Television tells me one thing
Brain tells me something else

(Bullshit never had any intelligence)

War's a terror that we can do without
Small town thinkers will always wear you down

(Just don't look for the hidden meanings)

Give me something to believe in
Something that is real
A moment of reflection
What should I believe?

Start with a voice, with some heart
(Something to believe)
End with a song in the light
(Something to believe)

Give me something to believe in
Give me something that is real

Shouldering the blame
Walking into frame
Like a lighted silhouette
Against a cotton sheet
Smothering the crease

Tin can in hand
Waiting for god to come around
But he never comes around
He never comes around

Quiet like a mouse
Building up your house
Just to tear it down
Leaving us the pieces
Do they ever fit?

Tin can in hand
Waiting for god to come around
But he never comes around
He never comes around
He never comes around

Carbon copy aftertaste
The taste of lips so delicate
Stop the click and watch the room
Sitting pretty in full bloom

Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won't kill
Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won't kill

Hold your breath this is the part
That i've been waiting for
Words spill out in front of you
On your bedroom floor

Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won't kill
Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won't kill

I sat beneath the burning tree
I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could)
I sat beneath the burning tree
I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could)

I never gave my world away
Maybe I should maybe I could?
I never gave my world away
Maybe I could, maybe I would?

I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could)
I sat beneath the burning tree
I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could)
I sat beneath the burning tree
The burning tree
The burning tree

You start working with the same device
The narrative is breaking down again
You're standing down the same old asking price
The cards are drawn the fires getting warm

All works and play there's nothing left to say
They wouldn't want it any other way

Running fast when the lights are fading
We make the same mistakes
We know we have to face
Someday the fires will keep on burning
But today run away never look behind

The time it takes to walk home alone
The pleasure stops keeps weakness
From the top of your head
Servants blockade informants keep the peace
The pleasure stops why does it have to stop

All works and play there's nothing left to say
You wouldn't want it any other way
Running fast when the lights are fading
We make the same mistakes
We know we have to face
Someday the fires will keep on burning
But today run away never look behind

The same old pictures playing over again

Running fast when the lights are fading
We make the same mistakes
We know we have to face
Someday the fires will keep on burning
But today run away never look behind
We make we make the same mistakes
But today run away never look behind
We make we make the same mistakes
But today run away never look behind

Scarred open wounds
The needle, it dances
And glows through the skin
Under lights that burn so bright
And roads we see at night

The light has faded
Through the windows

Destroy to destroy
Landscapes and people you know and people you don't
Wards of empty patients just to sleep away the days

The light has faded
Through the windows

Last call on the waterfront
As the kids all stare
Into thin air

You wait for your breath to come

The fantasy of reality goes rushing through your head
Just a symphony of a restless dream down to your fingertips

Last call on the waterfront
As the kids all stare
Into thin air
You wait for your breath to come

I called the house to see if anyone was home
Question the silences the negative response
Stayed to see the sunrise
Raising hell over the square
Didn't lose the sense of promise
Laced upon the air

Education was a simple learning curve
Ruined by the lack of anything to use
Of knowing what to say and what to lock away
Pay attention for detentions here to stay

And it took so long to find
All the answers through the lies
And it's been so long
That I don't know if it's alright

Problematic interest never fails to impress
Score cards for everyone
You wear them out to dress
Badge of honor true to code and true to form
Buried underneath all these expectations

If there was any kind of picture
That I could paint for you
I bet you any money
That the numbers wouldn't stick

For all I know
I'll take some credit for myself if I can
And walk away from this whole scene
A happier man

And it took so long to find
All the answers through the lies
And it's been so long
That I don't know if it's alright

It's alright [x5]

And it took so long to wait until the end

Congratulations it's a boy
Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy

Sticks and stones will always break
His bones can barely take the weight
Of your breath breathing down his neck again

Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last

Your family a little girl
One little wonder with her back against the wall

Kisses at bedtime never meant
A life that came to represent
Failings that she could not forget again

Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last

She could not forget
Breathing down his neck
She could not forget

The price you pay is never worth
The pain to suffer the abuse
Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts
Again, again, again, again
Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts
Again, again, again, again
Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts
Again, again, again, again

Closing folding like a star
Bring you back to see the lights
Bluest water falling down on your skin
On your skin

Keep you eyes locked away
In some lonely place
Don't stop, don't stop
When the music's over

Crosses made to bare the weight
You never bothered to explain
Questions swim around your head

Keep you eyes locked away
In some lonely place
Don't stop don't stop
When the music's over now

Closing folding like a star
Brings you back to see the lights
Bluest water falling down
On your skin, on your skin

Keep your eyes locked away
In some lonely place
Don't stop don't stop
When the music's over
Now It's over now

Behind closed doors we are building up our castles
And we wait to be saved behind these sheltered walls

Tell me who will be left to save us
When we can't even save ourselves

Eyes of the innocent
The death of human spirit
A science of tragedies that we've let into our homes

And I will never close my eyes to what I see every day
And even if it kills me
I will never end up like them

Tell me who will be left to save us
When we can't even save ourselves
[x2]

A shell of a man
Bled of every sentiment
And all honesty and compassion
Destroyed in just one breath
[x2]

I will never close my eyes to what I see every day
And even if it kills me
I will never end up like them

Tell me who will be left to save us
When we can't even save ourselves
[x2]

We kick the bucket and they drink us dry
Non essential work down on supply
We till the soil and work the fields
Another twenty years
My fingers bleed

You've gotta believe it
It's gotta be seen to believed

A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake
It can break your resolve
This tattered life torn and despised
It can swallow you whole

At the mercy of this machine
Our price to pay
Our burden to bear
Taking liberties with an innocent lie
Just another cog in this infernal machine
Another fifty years for someone to see

You've gotta believe it
It's gotta be seen to believed

A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake
It can break your resolve
This tattered life torn and despised
It can swallow you whole

At the mercy of their machine
We're at the mercy of their machines

Shake hands (shake hands)
With the captains of industry
[x4]

Shake hands with the captains of industry
[x3]

Mark these words and hear their truth
You mean nothing to me
Your handshakes to play fake make me want to scream
The engine runs harder than your lies never could
Than your lies ever could
Just to mark these words

What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
[x2]

Thieves stealing the beating heart of our art
And trample it into dust
Like lifelines and hard times
There are enough to go around
Break the back of this slavery
We are nothing but cattles
Another sale in the marketplace
There's enough to go around

What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
[x2]

We disengage
Nothing left to say (nothing left to say)
To hold us down (nothing left to say)
To hold us down (we disengage)

What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
[x2]

We look past the obvious
We blind ourselves to the truth
No escape
Resistance is futile
The old roads lead back home
A place where I belong
I lay my head where I lay my head
Affection without rejection
A clenched fist screaming

There's pain and then there's living
Both make sense to those who are willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on
We carry on

Sacrifice every day
To make amends for the debt we pay
An instrument of constant struggle
There's nothing left to regret
A promise is a promise kept
Whether history will forget
To open up with friendly arms
This wrench screaming

There's pain and then there's living
Both make sense to those who are willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on
We carry on
[x2]

We struggle every day
Never giving up or giving in
No single sense of self-respect
We turn around and walk away
No sense of community
We fear each and every day
Behind closed doors and closed minds
We shelter away from our lives

There's pain and then there's living
Both make sense to those who are willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on
We carry on
[x2]

We carry on
We carry on
We carry
We carry on

CHEA!

Since when did you become so cold,
and such a life-less piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore,
or the thought of you.

Don't worry,
Take what you need,
I left you and your dying breed.
But before we forget,
When the lights burn out,
Don't come home crying to me.
I will,
Surrender myself,
For the better health,
Of someone who really cares.

Why would you throw it away so fast?
It's gotta' get better than this,
Too hard for too long,
I'm holdin' on,
try to go but it just don't feel right.
This light,
Your eyes,
I'm easy.
I should've known better by now,
But you look so,
Damn good.

Go get your black dress baby,
And put your dancin' shoes on [x2]

I swear to God,
My intentions were gold,
I swear to God,
My intentions were,
Gold.

Run away,
From your mistakes.
Just like the ones you hid from me.
Why can't you see that,
I was expecting this all along?

The road is long,
Where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone.
Alone.
Alone.

I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me [x2]

Time's up.

(So sing along,
and learn to heart)

You leave yourself dead where you stand,
So soft,
Pretty,
and delicate.

(You've made it now,
They've seen it all
but the sleepless nights,
Have gone too far.
....They take their toll.)

You're killing yourself when you lie,
So close those legs and open your eyes.

I'll make a man,
Out of you.
I'll make a man of you boy.
So pick up the gloves,
Put down the toys,
While I pick my weapon of choice(s)
I have made,
I regret, but you know,
I'll pick up the pieces and earn some respect.

Dream if you please,
But dream as if you'll live forever.
And live as you wish,
But live as if you'll die today.

I ain't no James Dean.
This rebellion has it's cause.
You can't pick up where I left off,
cause' you know you're in the wrong.

This will be,
The death of you.
This is it,
Cause we all know,
You're afraid of the truth.
Take this as a warning,
a simple thing.
Make this something that you'll hold,
Close to your heart.
Please write this down,
Please make this yours.
Learn the word forgiveness and I'll show you...

Grace like you've never have seen.
Grace like you've never have seen.
I'll show you grace.

This life is moving,
It's moving on and on and on,
It's alright...

It's alright but I know I shouldn't trust you.
It's okay but I never should have said,
It's alright...

It's okay but I know I shouldn't trust you.
It's alright but I never should have said...

It's alright...
It's alright...
It's alright...

I'd like to say something
slow down the bandwagon
there's a million reasons
I don't want to be here
but you don't know me well enough
to be the last on my list
what did I miss?
you win the most points

I hope you're getting this
because I don't know when I've been this good

you don't know what it's like
to be a slave and not get paid
why don't you save it
don't even try to erase it
because that's the way it is
and I hope it makes you sick
that I'm not even warmed up yet

make your last word hurt
before you let me go
next time I see you
don't be in the front row

slow down the bandwagon

I'd like to say something
and I hope it makes you sick
that I'm not even warmed up yet

Why do we sleep oh little one
Forget the ringing bell
It won't be dark for long
No sleep embrace the truth

Hallway after hallway
There's nowhere left to run
There's nowhere left to hide
Time will steal another piece from our hell
And time will tell

Light of where we lie
And where we fall
The lights shine out
Over distant waiting walls
Tones strike out
And fall back down
They ring out
A distant clear sound

Why do we sleep oh little one
Forget the ringing bell
It won't be dark for long
No sleep embrace the truth

Nail us to the floor
And eyes to be worn
Their evil lie

Burn the wicker man
As the bind the threads
Thread by thread

Light of where we lie
And where we fall
The lights shine out
Over distant waiting walls
Tones strike out
And fall back down
They ring out
A distant clear sound

Embrace the truth

We need a spark not another dead match
We need a spark not another dead match
We need a spark not another dead match
Find the will to keep it burning

Light of where we lie
And where we fall
The lights shine out
Over distant waiting walls
Tones strike out
And fall back down
They ring out
A distant clear sound

A distant clear sound

A distant clear sound

A distant clear sound

A distant clear sound

Steal this night away
So that we're not waiting
The feeling in my gut
Makes my head ache
And the feeling that i get
Walking downstairs
The feelings of surprise
Before my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
On this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's on this christmas day

And the gifts that we all gave
In remembrance
Of this final day
To ease this miracle

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
On this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
On this christmas day

The snow is falling down
Around us now
The snow is falling down
Around around
The snow is falling down
The snow is falling down
The snow is falling down

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's on this christmas day
And It's on this christmas day
It's a miracle, yeah
It's a miracle
It's on this christmas day
oh on this christmas day

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
On this christmas day
Oh on this christmas day
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's On this christmas day

I am not alone
I live with the memories regret is my home
This is my true freedom
Express all the feelings of what I've become
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today

[CHORUS]

It seems I've gone away
It seems I've lost myself
It seems really lost my way
It seems I've lost myself
It seems I've

Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me

A bitter sinking feeling
Awake to the fact there's no going back
To the worlk in which I was living
I'm searching for something but found less than nothing
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today

[CHORUS]

Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
Oh 'cause I'm dying to feel
What I have lost
Oh and what I was

All my life I've waited
Endless days have taken
Taken what made me free
Years have gone
I'm broken
Left the past unspoken
Those years
Oh they haunt me still

Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
And shed my skin

I've been defeated and brought down
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
The time has come to change my ways

On this day I clearly see everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind

I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back
I'll fight to remain:

On this day I clearly see everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind

On this day its so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive

Fear will kill me, all I could be
Lift these sorrows
Let me breathe, could you set me free
Could you set me free

On this day I clearly see everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day its so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive

And to those to which we sing,
We are honored you let us in
I remember the thoughts of many things,
Of the glory that you bring

I was never the right one to dare to dream,
It's funny what this life has done to me now
You were always the only,
To help me see there was a road I must find,
A road that was mine

But I'm down to my last,
I'm standing here alone
Looking back, on it all
But I'm down to my last,
I'm ready but I'm wrong,
And I'm blind too

And to the world to which we sing,
Want to try to do us in
I remember your name and I know your face
Can't forgive and can't erase

I was never the right one
To bear the weight of something fueled by words
I'd learn to hate
You were always the only
To help me see that to love is to shine
In your world, blind

But I'm down to my last
I'm standing here alone
Looking back on it all
But I'm down to my last
I'm ready but I'm wrong
And I'm right too

[solo]

But I'm down to my last
Well I'm ready but I'm wrong,
And I'm scared of it all

But I'm down to my last
I'm ready but I'm wrong
And I'm blind too
But I'm down to my last
And I'm ready but I'm wrong
And I'm blind too

Watch your words
Or your words might drown you
And cure my wounds
And the light will blind you

To truly see well
You must have faith
Oh the righteous they can't wait
A saving grace
That we all know
Let us pray
Let us hold on

[CHORUS]

I can't breathe
I prefer to find a ceiling
To the hate of mine
I can't win
I can fight no more
I am drowning
And I'm sick inside

Push no more
And the day will find you
Speak no truth
And your ways will end you
It's alright
And you must move on

Though the damage
Has been done
Cherish the life
And the ones you hold
Can you change
Can you go on

[CHORUS]

To truly see well
You must have faith
Oh the righteous they can't wait
A saving grace
That we all know
Let us pray
Let us hold on

[CHORUS]

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can't believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

It's hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
(its hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go)
Will they open their eyes
and realize we are one
(lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Thanks for all you’ve done
I’ve missed you for so long
I can’t believe you’re gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I’ve never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you’re a part of me
And it’s your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you’re gone
You still mean the world to me

I’ve never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it’s not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can’t believe you’re gone

And I know, you’re a part of me
And it’s your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I’m glad he set you free from sorrow
I’ll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still

And what you did you did with feeling
And You always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
ANd you always will

Ooo’s

And I know, you’re a part of me

And it’s your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

Drank so much last night
I think that I drowned
But now my cup is empty
No one has seen my will around
Now my heart is aching
Sometimes I fall asleep for days
But my bed is empty
I know I am too set in my ways
Tell all I am ok

So burn it down
Discover the dusk of your day
Has reached its dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new to carry on

Flew so high last night
I think that I fell to the ground so heavy
Woke up to find this living hell
It used to be so easy
Hard to tell my nights now from my days
The curtains hide my feelings
Don't feel I have any right to pray
And they will find me someday, Someday

So burn it down
Discover the dusk of your day
Has reached its dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new to carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk of your day
Has reached its dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new to carry on

And whatever takes us anyway
Will be the same to drive us on
Remember to find a new day

So burn it down
Discover the dusk of your day
Has reached its dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new to carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk of your day
Has reached its dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new to carry on

Endless day
We search for what we hold inside
So hard to find
Luck turns
Will the fallen ever reach within
And rise again

[CHORUS]

For the rest of my life
I will find the answers
That were always here
I will find the meaning this time
I will fight the end
Till the end is here

Wasted time
With words that seem to break our will
They blind us still
Without a care
They tarnish what we hold so dear
What was once so clear

[CHORUS]

As your will is bent and broken
and every vision has been cast into the wind
as your courage crashes down before your eyes
don't lay down and die

'Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you, "Why
You question the strength inside?"
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive

When every wound has been re-opened
And in this world of give and take, you must have faith
And the distance to your dreams stretch beyond reach
Don't lay down and die
No

Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you, "Would
You question the strength inside?"
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive...

How it feels
How it feels to be alive...
How it feels
How it feels to be alive...
How it feels
How it feels to be alive...

Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you, "Would
You question the strength inside?"
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive...
How it feels to be alive...

Stuck in the middle
I burrow inside
Back to the cradle
Away from the burdens
Of all my crimes
Before it's fatal

The past has found me
The truth come out
Always remember
With no place to fall
But straight down
I must surrender

Well it seems I've finally
Thought of everything
I want to love
I want to feel
Find peace
Find the real

There's a face I put on
All my life
The face of an angel
I look in the mirror
Only to find
The face of a stranger

And all that I've taken
I hunger for more
Cause I'm selfish
And all I'm left with
Is a crown of thorns
And I'm helpless

Well it seems I've finally
Thought of everything
I want to love
I want to feel
Find peace
Find the real

I'll trade these lies for something right
I will kill what hurts with something pure
I will be redeemed so I can breathe again

Well it seems I've finally
Thought of everything
I want to love
I want to feel
Find peace
Find the real
[Repeat]

Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls

Leave the peace alone
Now we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone

[CHORUS]

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love

Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too

[CHORUS]

Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be

Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And I'll that I'll be

Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)

Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack
They know that, their time's coming to an end
We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Is our secret safe tonight
And are we out of sight
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place
Is this our last embrace
Or will the walls start caving in?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it should have been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) To let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) This is out of control

(It could be wrong, could be wrong) It can never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it could have been right
(It could be wrong, could be...)

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they won't to stop breaking us down
Hold me
Our lips must always be sealed

If we live a life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again

Kill your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can't hide the truth inside

(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it should have been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) To let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Are we digging a hole?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong) This is out of control
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) It can never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it could have been right
(It could be wrong, could be...)

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they won't to stop breaking us down
Hold me
Our lips must always be sealed

The night has reached its end
We can't pretend
We must run
We must run
It's time to run
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Resistance

I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied

Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame
But we know that whoever holds the reigns
Nothing will change
Our cause has gone insane

And these wars they can't be won
And these wars they can't be won
And do you want them to go on and on and on?
Why split these states
When there can be only one

And must we do as we're told?
Must we do as we're told?

You and me fall in line
To be punished for unproven crimes
And we know that there's no one we can trust
Our ancient heroes
They are turning to dust

And these wars they can't be won
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on and on and on
But soon we will see
There can be only one

United States
United States of
Eurasia! Sia! Sia! Sia!
Eurasia! Sia! Sia! Sia!
Eurasia! Sia! Sia! Sia!

Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore

Loved by numbers
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers detached
I can't feel you anymore

The sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused
With no guiding light left inside

Oooo
You were my guiding light
Oooo

Woah

When comfort and warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused
With no guiding light left inside

You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives

They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth

I'm hungry for some unrest
I want to push this beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand

Dedication to a new age
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another chance to erase then repeat it again

Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean

They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No (Hey) chance (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth

No religion or mind virus
Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us
Just make sure that your are looking out for number 1

I'm hungry for some unrest
Lets push this beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that you will understand

Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean

They'll laugh as they watch us crawl
The lucky don't share at all
No (Hey) hope (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's a random chance selection
I want the truth

Try to ride out the storm
Whilst they'll make you believe
They are the special ones (We have not been chosen)

Injustice is the norm
You won't be the first
And you know you won't be the last

Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean, ocean, ocean

They'll laugh as they watch us fall
And the lucky they don't care at all
No (Hey) chance (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth, I want the truth
I want the truth, I want the truth

The wavelength gently grows
Coercive notions re-evolve
A universe is trapped inside a tear
It resonates the core
Creates unnatural laws
Replaces love and happiness with fear

Oooo

How much deception can you take
How many lies will you create
How much longer until you break
Your mind's about to fall

And they're breaking through
They're breaking through
They're breaking through
We are losing control

They're breaking through
They're breaking through
They're breaking through
Now we're falling
We are losing control

Invisible to all
The mind becomes a wall
All of history deleted with one stroke

Oooo

How much deception can you take
How many lies will you create
How much longer until you break
Your mind's about to fall

And they're breaking through
They're breaking through
They're breaking through
Now we're falling
We are losing control

Mmmh

When these pillars get pulled down
It will be you who wears the crown
And I'll owe everything to you

Woooo, woooo

How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike

I can't find the words to say
They're overdue
I've travelled half the world to say
I belong to you

Woooo, woooo

Then she attacks me like a Leo
When my heart is split like Rio
But I assure you my debts are real

I can't find the words to say
When I'm confused
I travelled half the world to say
You are my mu...

Oooo, woooo

Ahhh! Réponds, réponds à ma tendresse
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
Réponds à ma tendresse
Réponds à ma tendresse
Ahhh! Verse-moi l'ivresse
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
Réponds à ma tendresse
Réponds à ma tendresse
Ahhh! Verse-moi l'ivresse

I belong
I belong to you alone

Woooo, woooo
Woooo

I can't find the words to say
They're overdue
Travelled half the world to say
I belong to you

Woooo, woooo

Rise above the crowds
And wade through toxic clouds
Breach the outer sphere
The edge of all our fears
Rest with you
We are counting on you
It's up to you

Spread, our codes to the stars
You must rescue us all
Spread, our codes to the stars
You must rescue us all
Tell us, tell us your final wish?
Now we know you can never return
Tell us, tell us your final wish?
We will tell it to the world

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Oh baby dont you know I suffer?
Oh baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?

You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the 'supermassive'

I thought I was a fool for no-one
Oh baby I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth

You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the 'supermassive'

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
