I'm up to here
In paper and pencils
I'm nothing more
Than a simple machine
I feel like running away
I've had enough
Of crushing digits
I'm just a dot
On a piece of paper
I just feel like
Letting it all slide
I'm up to here
In paper and pencils
I'm nothing more
Than the shit I own
I feel like
Letting it all go
I've had enough
Of crushing digits
I'm not worth more
Than I earn
I just feel like
There is places I go where I can't take you.
There are people I know that don't wonna meet you.
And the questions you have, they need to stop.
You can ask them of me agian, when I've woken up.
You can write them down, and burn the sheets.
You can cut them up and throw them into the sea.
You just can't follow me.
No you can't follow me.
'Cus where I'm about to go, does not include you.
There's nothing for you to be afriad of
When I've woken agian I'll come back to you
I have to go, 'cuz I need to know
How to wake up, how to wake up
'Cus where I'm about to go, does not include you.
There's nothing for you to be afriad of
When I've woken agian I'll come back to you
WoooOOO woooOOO
Now the one, the one, yea the one question, is.
They'll cast us out
Down the mountainside
When they see that
We were right all the time
They'll hang us in the wood at night
When they see that
We are on the winning side
So we'll hide out in here
Before they take the rest of us outside
They'll burn down cities
And tear the trees up
In one last demonstration
Of their powers
And they'll swell up
Till their heads explode
And that's when we come out
And take back what is ours
We don't need to be silent anymore
And the can't take us outside
A cornered dog is a dangerous dog
And you don't need to listen anymore
To its barking
Just take it outside
We go out tonight
To justify ourselves
If we feel something
Though it's bloated
We must be alive
We come home tonight
With a stomach full of kisses
We can't hold them in
So we throw them up on the floor
There are so many
Of us
And there's been so many
Before us
So what the fuck are we supposed to do
When there are so many of us
And all the kisses we share
There used to be giants here
They carried us up
But then you came along
And you swallowed them all
You're hard to get
You're hard to get
You always find a way
To wriggle out of it
There used to be people here
They used to try their best
But then you came along
And talked them out if it
You're hard to get
You're hard to get
You always find a way
To slither out of it
We try our best
We try our best
But you always find a way
We've got till the break of dawn
We have to just carry on
We've got till the sun comes up
Keep up the speed and never stop
You've got your guns and war machines
You're like a knife, you cut things clean
There's no one here to end this war
No one knows what you wage it for
You walk and walk proud
Elbows out
You will never stop
nor give up
Drive and drive fast
You will never stop
The road was paved for you
You got your guns and war machines
You're like a knife you cut things clean
But there's a beat in all machines
And a song in everything
You walk and walk proud
Elbows out
You will never stop
nor give up
Drive and drive fast
You will never stop
It's not worth
Wasting your energy
On a fight that is fixed
You're keeping all of us sick
You're not being fair
To your enemies
You're fighting our fists
Whit knives
You're outrunning all of us
If we could we would
And we're going to
But there's a day
After this one
After all we voted for you
All the things
You said we'd have
A car to every house
The power to choose
And live free lives
If we could reach
We would all just choke you
But we can't reach
But we could reach
We would all just choke you
And if we could read
We would all just argue against you
And if we could unite
We could bring you down
If we could think
take out all the windows
we take all the things
you have no use for
tear down all the brick walls
we take all the things
you have no use for
into all the deep thoughts
we take all the things
you have no use for
in the back of your mind
we take all the things
you have no use for
hold on, hold your horses
there's a big wall that we can't breach
and there must be a dark place
and there must be things
that we cannot reach
we take all the things
you have no use for
I'm like a maimed animal
Waiting for the shot
To finish me off
To put me down
I won't fight back
I won't give up
I'll go where
You lead me
I can't wake up
But my legs still move
They walk straight back
You ought to take us with you when you leave
But you're already gone
You're already gone
Your time machine and all your technology
Could do us some good
It could do us good
//: It's not fair that you leave us
At this point in time ://
You ought to take us with you when you leave
But you're already gone
You're already gone
Your time machine in no machine at all
It's not more than a pen
To rewrite everything
You ought to take us with you when you leave
But you're already gone
You're already gone
//: It's not fair that you leave us
At this point in time://
Your time machine in no machine at all
It's not more than a pen
We sound mad
But we're using everything we have
We look numb
But we're moving every moving part
I know it
looks as if we're holding back
I know
How it looks
But we're really not that bad
We look mad
But we're doing everything we can
You must think that we're dumb
If i'm going to be
Swept away
It's going to mean
Changes around here
And if it means
That you'll change too
I hope the changes
Are for the better
In a way i know all of
The right words to say
I know exactly how this will end
Called you the other day
And they said you'd gone away
To somewhere far from me
And they said:
Don't you call again, 'cause
We are not your friends
No, you should run away
And if you must
Leave me behind
Won't you please, please, please
Just set me free
'cause you've got me by the horns
you've got nothing to be scared of
you have no reason to cry
I am not going to leave you
you are not going to die
but it's a war that I am fighting
andI'm not going to give in
I have to tell the enemy
that she is never going to win
everything was okay
things were just as they should be
everything had reasons
that I was way to blind too see
everything was okay
everyone was in their place
and everything was planned
and played out in the proper pace
now it's your turn for the questions
ask me anything you like
ask me if I'm okay
and if I will be alright
ask me how it feels
to be beaten and be tied
to finally let go
There's the house i used to live in
And the windows they are shut
There's the car i used to drive
But the doors are safely locked
Is there no one
Who can help me now?
Is there no one
Who can guide me out?
This is the road i used to walk on
But the pavement is cracking up
One of the things i couldn't give you:
A steady faith in things to come
And this is the evening light i speak of
When we talk the whole night through
What were the words i tried to tell you:
Do you know that i love you?
And then she said:
You have to turn
But turn the other way around!
Then she said to me:
There's a rhythm in you!
A rhythm you just have
To follow through!
Then she said to me:
There's a melody in you!
A melody you just have
Take it and run
I promise I'll find you, just take it and run
Take it and hide, it will kill you on site
And I stay here and wait
When they come I will fight every last one of them
Yeah, I'll sit here and wait for my Nemesis, babe
'Cause the chances are one in a million
That I'll ever find a love like this again
So you have to hold on to me baby
I will never find another one like you
But I hope that I can keep the deamons away and the fire alive
I hope that they think that its hard to put out
And I hope that you know that I love you the most and it's always been you
But in a world like this is, it's so hard to be true
But the chances are one in a million
I will never find a love like this again
So you have to hold on to me baby
I will never find a love like this again
But if you think that acting like a man is fucking everything you can, you're wrong!
But the chances are one in a million
I will never ever find a love like you again
So you have to hold on to me baby
Duck tape that mechanical eye
When it's blind it can't tell whether truth is a lie
Used a sewer 'cause the street's are not safe
And don't tell anyone that you're tryin' to escape
And don't make a sound while you are runnin' away
'cause desertion is not looked upon mildly these days
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
Do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
And we can leave if that's what it takes
To make us feel good, to make us feel safe
But maybe runnin' is the easy way out
We could fight for the right ways, fight for our birthplace
And we should not let these people forget what they've done
'cause they fed us lies and made us fear everyone
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with yourself
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
To change all the things that are wrong with this place
Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
But do whatever you can where you are
there's a chance that I might not take the next step
if I take one more I'm afraid that were going to slip
there's a chance that I'll go back to where I were before
I'm afraid that if I stay I'm going to pull you to the floor
but if you scratch your back
then I'll scratch mine
and if you mind your thought
then I'll keep mine
and if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying
you can't find a place on this earth where I will not follow you
but there are countries in your head that I can not travel to
But if you scratch your back
then I'll scratch mine
and if you mind your thought
then I'll keep mine
and if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying
there's a chance that I'll go back to where I were before
I'm afraid that if I stay I'm going to pull you to the floor
I might not always be just the saintly as I would like to be
but I am trying to bring out the best that I have in me
and if you scratch your back
then I'll scratch mine
and if you mind your thought
then I'll keep mine
and if you keep your fingers crossed
I'll keep trying
I said if you scratch your back
then I'll scratch mine
and if you mind your thought
then I'll keep mine
and if you keep your fingers crossed
Getting in there
Is the easiest part
Just keep your head down
It's finding meaning
Once you're in there
That's hard
refrain:
What's the point of speech
When all I do with it
Is just repeating myself
refrain2:
What's the point of a soul
When all I'm being is
A faulty copy of myself
But if you get off
Then I get off
What's the meaning of
Covering up yourself when
You are who you were born
What's the meaning of
Doing things that you
Obviously think are wrong
If you take one more step
I'll be behind you
To put my foot
Where yours were first
If you say one more clever thing
I'll just repeat it
What to do when life hits you
and makes you wonder
if you're living at all
what to wish for
if you had one wish only
what to do better
if you had the chance
would i be happy if I went back
and learned how to dance
would it be easy if I took the chance?
this is the real thing
you'll get no second chance
no helping hands
no easy way out
just do the right thing
you'll get no second chance
no helping hands
no easy way out
I should have kept you when I had you
I should have never let you go
I should have loved you like I ought to
but there is something wrong with me
I know there's something
I'm not doing right
but what is right
you tell me
I should have seen the light
but the light was shining
way too bright
and the noise was filling up my nights
I just can't believe
That you're asking me this
Do you really want me
To Answer this
Yes, I guess I
Feel like I am trapped
Yes, I guess I sometimes
Feel like my life
Has already been mapped
refrain:
But there are thing's
That are best left unsaid
And I have thoughts
That are best kept
Inside my head
Yes I want to elope sometimes
Pack my stuff
And escape sometimes
But I couldn't be
More satisfied
Than I am right now
But sometimes I doesn't
Feel right to feel good
Sometimes it feels
Like there should have been more
I want you to stop this right now
You're not getting anywhere anyhow
Yes I sometimes
Feel like a man feels
There is something in the water we are drinking
There is something in the air that we breathe
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
There is something by the way that we walk
Something proud without knowing what it's of
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
And it turns us into something we are not
There is something in the water we are drinking
There is something in the air that we breathe
And I'd rather die of thirst than drink one drop
Do you know
Do you know
That this is the end?
I know you are not going
To get down on your knees
You're not going to repent
But hey!
You left me with nothing
So there's plenty of things to regret
'Cause I was fighting
I was fighting
I was fighting
But you left me for dead
There was a time
When I saw light in you
There was a time
When it was all about you
But we're not getting closer
We're just getting older
We're going to perish in the flames
Is it worth it?
Is there anything more I can say?
To make you see that you should see
What it was that you were doing to me
Oh, but everything is different now
And I'm not who I used to be
Well, the change is that I need you
Just as much as you ever needed me
Hey!
There was a time
When I saw light in you
There was a time
When it was all about you
But we're not getting closer
We're just getting older
We're going to perish in the flames
And until you grasp
What it is that you do
Everyone you need in life
Will fade away from you
'Cause we're not getting closer
You're just getting older
You're going to perish in the flames
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm running from
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm running from
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm running from
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is this is this is
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm running from
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm running from
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
What I'm running from
This is this is
What I'm dreaming of
This is this is
We've been over this
We've been over this a hundred times
And I'm tired now
Yes, I'm tired now
We've been sitting here
We've been talking now for hours on
And I'm tired now
Yes, I'm tired now
You are nothing without that someone
To keep you from blackin' out
I've been walking here
I've been walking here for hours now
And I'm tired now
Yes, I'm tired now
When you see this place
The things I said will rewind and play again
And I can't fight accord to pull them inverse
So I look forever, look forever, look forever
You are nothing without that someone
If you have a chainsaw
You can always cut out a door
If you can find a reason
You can always kick off a war
If you have a short fuse
You shouldn't have
The guns and the bombs
But if you have a big mouth
You can always talk your way out
It would be better if
You we're on the right side
Get on my side
You could stop now
But if you're feeling left out
We have to lean on eachother for succes in this
We have to trust, that there`s a reason for doing this
`Cause everything else but us is falling apart
I know the way to all of the exits
But I`d rather stay in my seat than leaving it
`Cause everything else but us is falling apart
And when the plane starts stalling
We`ll be forced to use our wings
And when the chutes won`t open
We`ll be forced to use our wings
In a way I know we can make it
At the end of the day there is no way to fake it
`Cause everything else but us is falling apart
And I
I trust the plane that we fly will carry us
And it will just as long as we`re steering it
While all of the world below us is falling apart.
And when the plane starts stalling
We`ll be forced to use our wings
And when the chutes won`t open
We`ll be forced to use our wings
Everything else but us is falling apart
And I know
That they think
They can teach us the way
They can lead us to
Happiness
Only to find
That it`s
Fake
`Cause I know
Who I am
And I know
What I want
Out of all
Of the things
You can have
In the world
I want this
You can't afford it
You can't afford
To get anything done
How mush you need it
It's not a factor for anyone
'Cause they'll find you
Wherever you hide
And punch you back to
Where you started
And unless you can think
Of an eaiser way
The only way to escape
Is by being blackhearted
You can't afford it
You can't afford
To do anything right
So how mush you want it
Depends on
How long it takes you
To swallow your pride
'Cause there'll be no time
For you to find
Truth or love
Or people you left behind
You can't afford to
Do something decent
With your time
I was given you
Some kind of a present
I was given you
Though you're
More Than I deserve
And I was put here
To give you
Everything you need
But instead I do
What ever it is I please
And I was built to give you
More than I do now
And I was built to show you
More than I do now
And I was put here
To give you
The world on a platter
But instead I just sit here
And do nothing
That really matters
You lift me up from
The world of fallen
You get me going
Can you see anything now
My vision is blurred out somehow
Can you see anything
The dark is hiding things
You have to stay here for the night
I can't be on my own tonight
You are my eyes and ears
Without you i can't see in here
You are my blood and veins
Without you i would die in here
You have to stay here for the night
I can't be on my own tonight (5x)
Last year there was something I could've done
That would have changed the chain of events to follow
Last year there was something I could've done
But I didn't do anything at all
Then it all just fell into place
It all made sense
It all just fit
So I dare not move anything
I dare not move anything an inch
Last year there was something I could've said
The kind of words you can't take back
Last year there was something I wanted to say
But I didn't say anything at all
Last night I had the same set of thoughts again
The kind of thoughts that could change anything
Last night I thought it all through to the end again
But again I just didn't do anything
Everything will stay as it is
As long as I don't stand in the way of it
But the second I mingle with it
Shake it off
You don't need it anymore
You shouldn't feed it anymore
You should burn the letters
You keep in your drawer
It doesn't help you
To read them over
And over again
Cut it off
Grab the scissors
And use force
Leave the lump
Down on the floor
There's no need to carry
All this weight around
You're old enough to know
When enough is enough
Is enough
Shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off just like a dog
Find the animal inside you
And forget the things
The things you used to love
It doesn't help you
To remember things you've lost
Tear it off, tear it off
Use your hand and break if off
You can fight your way
Right through it
Just believe and then
Just do it
No need to wait
It doesn't help you
To push it in front of you forever
It doesn't help you
To push it in front of you forever
And you know it
'Cause you don't know her anymore
In fact you never did
You just imagined it
That's what you did
You imagined every single part of it
Shake it off like a dog
If there ever was a test
Then I'd be better than the rest
'Cause I know better than the most
That love will haunt you like a ghost
It's the everlasting feeling
Of not being who you want to
Of not saying what you mean to
Though you really, really want to
And as the ashes of the trees
That you have burned down
On your way
Comes together in a pile
They form a mountain in my way
And I know that I must force it
To get out of here alive
I try to think of something alse
I try to keep the spirit high
But it's not love that makes you wiser
Makes you better ot refine you
It's not love that keeps you fit
Pulls you up and realigns you
It's the battle with yourself
And it's the things
That you must go through
To get it right and get it over with
And get back in the world
But it's not that I still want you
You're not standing in my way
And it's that I feel lost
And feel there's something left to say
It just really left me
That one question in my head:
Do you ever wish that you
I brought the BBQ
the stars and all the rest
it's such a shame that you just left me
I came in second then
I am in a marathon
I'll gain on you some day just trust me
I can't believe what I just
witnessed here today
a thousand memories
just fade and fly away
I'll find you someday
in the middle of the war
I can't believe that
you don't need me anymore
I brought the humor
and a smile to fit your face
I won't hear the words you will tell me
I brought the liquor
and the drunken attitude
I can't believe that you can hate me
I can't believe what I just
witnessed here today
a thousand memories
just fade and fly away
I'll find you someday
in the middle of the war
I can't believe that
you don't need me anymore
I crawl back into
the pieces of our plane
Your borderline, you'r just about to crack
who's pushing you around, you need to push them back.
couse i've never seen you like this,
i don't want to see you like this.
you can't walk the line, with a foot on eather side.
who's breathing down your neck.
do you need a place to hide.
couse i've never seen you like this,
i don't want to see you like this. (ahahahahaaaahh)
you could use the energi tomorrow,
you need to wake up again tomorrow.
(ahahahahaaaahh)
you could use the energi tomorrow,
you need to wake up again tomorrow.
