Silverchair were an Australian rock band, which formed in 1992 as Innocent Criminals in Merewether, Newcastle with the line-up of Ben Gillies on drums, Chris Joannou on bass guitar and Daniel Johns on vocals and guitars. The group got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show Nomad and ABC radio station, Triple J. The band were signed by Murmur, and were successful on the Australian and international rock stages.
As from 2011, Silverchair have won a record number of 21 ARIA Music Awards from 49 nominations. The band have also received six APRA Awards with Johns winning three songwriting awards at the 2008 ceremony. All five of their studio albums have peaked at number-one on the ARIA Albums Chart: Frogstomp (1995), Freak Show (1997), Neon Ballroom (1999), Diorama (2002) and Young Modern (2007). Three of the group's singles have reached number-one on the related ARIA Singles Chart: "Tomorrow" (1994), "Freak" (1997) and "Straight Lines" (2007).
Lived too long now you've come to take me
To a place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Can't be something but I'll try
Lived too long and waited to just drown
In my self pity I keep falling down
Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
Only book that I own is called 'how to lose'
Pick a chapter, I know them all, just choose
Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Give me something but I'll try
Want to be your solider
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
You've been locked up, and you need to escape.
You broke the law, it was your first offence.
Drug addiction, subtracting all your privileges,
But giving up just makes no sense.
We'll find a way,
We'll find a way.
Don't give in, don't give in,
Don't give in, don't give in,
Ohhh.
All you can think about is breaking free.
You can't make it on your own.
You're thinking negative, nothing can go right.
Lonely in life
Dead or alive
If the truth had incursions
No more goodbyes
No more big lies
If the truth had versions
As long as you and I are together
I'll hold onto the jewellery
Like staple strapped clenched fist and tongs
Hang strung from an empty nest
Those thieving birds
Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak?
And I'd catch you when you fall
But you're falling all the time
Do you need it anymore?
Or do you need a little more?
Living your life like a bull in the trade
He doesn't know how it feels
Under my thumb like a bone under nail
She's in the know, how's it feel?
Live your life under machine guns
Canary down the mine
Maybe I'm on the lever
Spoiling my broth like a radio kid
Programmed computerised minds
Waving my luck under your nose
Like I found a four leaf clover
It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day.
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway.
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town.
The only way to get there's to go straight down.
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink.
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink,
Very hard to drink.
You, wait 'til tomorrow
You, wait 'til tomorrow
You say that money, isn't everything,
But I'd like to see you live without it.
You think you can keep on going living like a king.
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it.
Very hard to drink.
You gonna wait 'til, fat boy,
Those thieving birds
Hang strung from an empty nest
This swan plagued pond
Foresaken and under whelmed
Those leaving words
Hang strong from an emptiness
Hang strong from an emptiness
Those thieving birds
Could've been like before
Could've had to lock the door
Make your mind
Let the door, let the door swing
Only one
Only one to let the door
Wanted to pretend he's dead
Didn't have to pretend
All this and more
Makes no sense to me
All this and more
Makes me drown
Let me know if it's alright
I dream about how it's going to end,
Approaching me quickly.
Leaving a life of fear,
I only want my mind to be clear.
People making fun of me,
For no reason but jealousy.
I fantasise about my death,
I'll kill myself from holding my breath,
My suicidal dream,
Voices telling me what to do.
My suicidal dream,
I'm sure you will get your's too.
Help me, comfort me,
Stop me from feeling what I'm feeling now.
The rope is here, now I'll find a use.
I'll kill myself, I'll put my head in a noose.
Dreamin' about my death, dream...
People dying for no reason at all,
Age is no difference or if you're large or small.
Families being torn apart.
Doesn't have to be this way.
Some people, just have no heart.
It's happening every day.
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre...
Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping,
Death is all around.
People crying for freedom,
No one hears the sound,
There's people crying.
There's people dying.
But someone's taken it all, yeah.
It's gonna be a pure massacre.
Drained as drained can be
Life is gone from me
Drained if drained is free
If only I could breathe
Smelling dead roses
Take your mind with you
There's no room for two
I can't handle both
Handle both of you
Smelling dead roses
But I won't fall down
Just wait for us to say it
And we'll make you lie
And anyone who cares
Lies on satin sheets
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care
Wears a saturn bracelet
Lined with cocaine coins
"No chance" slipped away
Toddler training toys
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care
And I waste my time on no-one
Addiction's held you back
But you don't care
'Cause you're on a high again
And it's not fair
Consuming alcohol
While I gotta drive
Take a hit from the drugs you stole
And try to survive
Since your life was over
You haven't yet been sober
You have held me back so long
Everything you do is wrong
Now I gotta dump you
Continue my life too
I tried to help you
Don't care what you do
You're state of mind's improved
But we're still apart
I visited you'd moved
Don't know where to start
Your life's an open cold sore
Got to get out the cream
Now I'm thinking positive
But I know it's a dream
If you're hurt,
Why don't you tell someone.
Don't feel bad,
You're not the only one, yeah.
Don't go hiding,
Hiding, in the shade.
If you were abused,
I'll find someone to help you.
I know you were used,
What are you gonna' do?
You've never wanted to know me before
Little or no association
Leave me alone, I want to live
Stop sucking the blood right out of me
Couldn't care less if I died right now
Who am I?
I don't know, you tell me
You seem to know everything else
Need a pathway need a guide
Contemplating suicide
Wish I could be like you
You say you care, but do you?
Do you?
Got my fever down, then weighed it up, and I know the
Sounds remaining won't strain all the silt from my eyes
Bleach the green from the pastures, feast on the grey
Of the night, straight from the vines refusal to shine
You're my favourite thing - the one that I love
You're the one so I'd die for your love
Blind the deafened moon, stimulate the tombs of angels
I'll open my heart won't fall apart
Don't fall apart
You're my favourite thing
I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationship could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law
Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's all uphill you've gotta climb
You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores
As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
Ohh, you can lead a throne,
But I'm something you don't own.
No...
Greed is a sin,
so don't lead me in,
ohh...
Ohh, you can leave me out,
Leave me out,
Leave me out,
I can't release you
You're a mad man
Need help to
Madman Madman
You're tied to alcohol
It starts to take its toll
Madman Madman
Oh Madman Mad
Mind filled with confusion
Your life's an illusion
Madman Madman
Oh...
Ugh
Madman Madman
...Madman.
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a liar, lie to me
Gonna be a while, lie to me
Gonna be a while, lie to me
Gonna be a while, lie to me
Gonna be a while
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes
Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak
If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you
Body and soul, I'm a freak
Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream
I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go
If only I could be as cool as you
Floating away
fading away again
fall from your arms find my feet again
you're coming down
you're coming round again
facing your eyes
I'll find my way home
Falls down slowly,
Seeps into the ground,
Isn't just flowing water,
Won't stop until your brain is found.
Seeps into your little green eyes,
'til it meets your brain,
Runnin' through all of your brain cells,
'til it drives you insane.
Acid...Acid Rain
Falls down slowly,
Seeps into your mind,
Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Imagine a pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the filth
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life
Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak?
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old and in with the new
Discard the old and in with the fashion
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve
Who is the bad guy for your requirements?
These are the facts so eat what you murder
This is animal liberation
Eight billion killed for human pleasure
Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies
A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come to make the decision you
Drink up, drink up, look down
I'll hold it back, I'll hold it back
Discard the old, in with the fashion
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free?
When trading soldiers for steak
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Descard the old - in with the new
Discard the old - in with the fashion
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve
Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy?
Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy?
Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy?
Who's the bad guy? Who?
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve
Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies
A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come to make the decision you...
Drink up - drink up - look down
I'll hold it back. I hold it back
Discard the old - in with the fashion
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
In the sun we are found to be
Reflections of a sound
I know it's been far too long in stormy weather
My arrested hope won't choke forever
Like a memory I needed never
We walk wrapped in thought
Some are vacant some have grown too short
It's the only thing I've ever had that keeps me lonely
In the sun we are found to be
Reflections of a sound
When nobody is around
Come down from the waist of time
Feel so empty when I feel so fine
Starting over we could change this light shadow sober
I've been waiting for far too long
Let's stick together
Coz you're keeping me warm but it's a lonely setting sun
I wait so long now my head is full of pressure
I need time to cure my mind
It's like a loop that lasts forever
I've been waiting for far too long
Let's stick together
Coz you're keeping me warm but it's a lonely setting sun
In the sun we are found to be
Reflections of a sound
I live for yesterday,
No one cares or understands,
Don't feel pain, I'm made of steel,
I can't answer you,
If you ask me how I am 'cause I,
I don't know just how I feel.
I can feel oh...
Any pain you give me,
But I'll take it and throw it away.
I'm a hypocrite,
But that's O.K. 'cause I do like it,
But I am careful who I burn,
I am free falling,
With no parachute at all but,
I don't have any concerns.
I can feel,
Any pain you give me,
But I'll take it and throw it away,
I will kneel oh...
To any king you give me,
But I'll tell you what I'd say.
Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?
Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?
Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?
Why are you any better than anyone else?
It's only self rejection with a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind
Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you
Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater
Content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense, camp out
She tastes the candy
Sugarless, cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same
Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you
Let my spirit ride on a one way mule
Blistered skin in a cold hearted pool
Distant emotion hides a concrete wall
Naked and anchored I'll climb right back
To you
And love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
Defect memories in a cage by my bed
Viscid dreams stick to holes in my head
But a patient career of sleep in a Sunday dress
Rides my wake
And love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
I'll stake out just to find
The knife in a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back for you
And love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
I'll stake out just to find
The knife in a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
Laying lost and wounded
Just myself to blame
Have no life and
Being hand-fed pain
Head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and
Nobody came
His father beats him
No hesitation
His face left dripping
In humiliation
As he lies wounded
His father turns to clay
A frozen statue
Can't walk away
His head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and
Nobody came
To see what I can lose again
For being the victim
Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say
But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love
Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people
Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love
I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back
It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people
Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love
Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love
I love the way you love
But I hate the way
Thrust the candle to the dark of your disease
Burn the fishplate execute ill memories
Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave
And too much truth overshadows the lime lies
And what lies beneath the clouds is an
Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity
But sanity don't come cheap
You don't know the truth and I love your life
Flinch against the fire but this ain't winter
And I'm all by myself the way I wanna be
Where I'm content to be to be all by myself
London's burning
London's burning
London's burning
London's burning
All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion
Everybody's sitting 'round watching television
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights
What a great traffic system - it's so bright
I can't think of better way to spend the night
Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights
Now in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning
London's burning
London's burning
Hate is what I feel for you,
And I want you to know that I want you dead.
You're late for the execution...
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead.
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to
I hate you and your apathy.
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here.
I'm playing this pantomime,
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear.
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to
This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through
Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah
I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Ohh, there's no time,
To choose for yourself.
It's like the candle's lit at both ends now,
Deteriorating health.
Parent's breakin' up,
Wish they would decide,
Whether to stay together
Can't make up their minds,
They wonder why you need someone,
You get no freedom at all.
They want you to drop down and conform,
They make your self-esteem fall.
Undecided, can't make up their mind
Your parents collided and left you behind
If there's a lock to their minds,
Can you tell me please.
I'll be straight,
Straight to get the keys.
Her mother doesn't even know her name...
Undecided.
If there is trouble, well she just gets the blame,
One, two, three, four!
Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
It's so hard to find out who you wanna be
Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
It's so hard to find out who you wanna be - oh!
I couldn't find what you needed - ooh to be a double
A big pill but you know that you need a poison
Open, you need it but I returned the point of acceptance
How brave, your parades never do much
Violence!
Hopeless fight!
Call it straight!
Big black steel cap dealt rejection
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Sinking through dark black holes
It's never gonna end
Open gash in my ribcage
It's never gonna mend
Take another picture off the wall
Sinking deeper every time I fall
Each day ends quicker
And my mind gets slower too
As my life just fades away
I wouldn't have a clue
Take another drawer out from the shelf
I'm too weak to do it by myself
Though you had the world at your feet
You could see it I was blind
Had the perfect job called life
You didn't like it you resigned
Brain's a square of grass
Growing on petrol and chlorine
On petrol and chlorine
We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?!
Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We're just a minor threat
We're just a minor threat
I was early to finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal!?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel
Take your time
Try not to forget
We never will
We're just a minor threat
We're just a minor threat
I can't release you,
You're a mad man,
Need help to,
Madman, Madman
You're tied to alcohol,
It starts to take its toll,
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad
Mind filled with confusion,
Your life's an illusion,
Tomorrow will be another part of yesterday
And yesterday will be another part of the day before
Wait, I hear another song insomnia
About the days I wasn't tired
And doing that "fun retro look"
I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains
Hey don't use the term accommodation
I won't be there for that and that will never be there for me
And I need to get some sleep slash resolution
About the days I wasn't tired
And doing that "fun retro thing"
I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains
Over in the corner of a circle
I sleep behind this bedroom
I see "fun retro look"
Dine behind a suitcase in an empty room
It's time to leave millions behind
Hey that's what I took from retro look
I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
in the year 2000 with...
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you
Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
Liberate the people that you hate
Then cut yourself again
Elevate then drop back down
And see which ones remain
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it
You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point
Accusation, does yes mean no?
Or have you changed your mind?
Kill the nation before it grows
And be one of a kind
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it
You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point
Pretend the world's an ocean
Oh, I'm drowning
Pretend that I'm pollution
Oh, I'm dying
Pretend the steak's a cowboy
And the kiss will kill you
You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
I heard a hole in the silence
I saw a crack in the plan but I got lazy ways
You're not a private detective take off your telephone shoes
My thoughts going out of phase
And these are the better days
Still it seems funny
Sticking like honey
Wrote my own article
Now I'm hummin'
She takes pictures through my lazy eyes
And I'm dreamin' girl it's your money

Mind reader
I need to get out.
There's something wrong 'round here.
I have no doubt
We're all really down from fear
Everything's dark,
And I cannot find
What I've been looking for,
So I have to say I'm blind.
But he cannot see
But he cannot see
Yeah...
If you do
Shed a tear,
Don't come to my place because I,
I won't be here.
There's no love lost between you and me,
And that's the way that I like it.
I wanna live life like a normal man,
And I think I can, yeah.
But he cannot see.
Yeah, he cannot see, he's blind!
ohh...yeah...
ooh...fuck...yeah...alright...
I'm blind.
Unsuspecting brother doesn't know what to do,
When everything just falls to the ground, ohh.
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue,
That his friend will never be found,
When he's informed, that he...
Will never see the boy,
Will never see the boy,
Never see him open his eyes,
Will never see the boy,
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
ooh, yeah.
Thinking of the past, it's all over now.
Mother nature strikes once again.
It happened all so fast, my only question's how,
How could they let that building descend.
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh...
You will never see the boy,
You will never see the boy,
You will never see him open his eyes,
You will never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
You'll only hear his heavenly cries.
ooh, yeah.
Off to the new life, I live on death.
You're leaving me all through the night.
If he's born again, I need you to find,
Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow
Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain
E-motion sickness
(To idle with an idol)
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt
E-motion sickness
(Lost no friendship)
(Corrosive head pollution)
I took advantage
Of a straight believing town
That tore the bandage
And said look who's bleeding now
Are you listening or are you faithless like the others
Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true
He's been beaten
Might have brought it on himself
So he stopped reading
Every book on mental health
But alls not lost in this tangle like no other
Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true
Take this dose and go
Whiskey warm September
The faded sign will show
That he still remembers
Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true
Waiting all day
Waiting all year
I'll be waiting all day
Have you ever been lost
Floating on the ground
Like a fading frost
You've fallen asleep
Next to your bed
And you feel so low
Oh they've stolen your pride
Stand up while your conscience sits aside
I've made up my mind
Half of the time and I feel so low
Stay and hijack the hurt
I feel so low I feel so high
Take a look inside my mind
If the object was clear
There wouldn't be a point
Only godless fear
By the end of July
I wonder will I still feel so low
Oh I am host to a guide
Moving in time
And falling in line
I've made up my mind
The papers are signed
And I feel so low
Stay and hijack the hurt
I feel so low I feel so high
Take a look inside my mind
Once a lover
Never suffer
So far away from here
Feeling hollow
Head to toe so low
Stay and hijack the hurt
I feel so low I feel so high
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me you're gonna be bored
If you're up chimney sweep under rubble covers
If you keep counting sheep and being adored
You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
I need a breath a wind so pure
To dry up the mud over me
To be reborn not born again
Erase my regret from the start
Shot the model
Flaking temporary skin you're no burden
Such reduction
Such seductive silent wine hop scotch trigger
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me are you gunna be
If you're up chimney sweep under rubble covers
If you keep losing me
You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me you're gonna be
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
Underneath the shelf cracks appear in thick enamel
In this laps excuse for wasting time
I wait for signals shooting stars
I'd scrape through every branch
Coz I need to come down
Underneath the home
I lived in I was a page in someone's book
And know one asked me why
The page was fifteen stories high
I'm underneath that home wondering why
All across the world
There are things we need to forget and forgive
Sometimes we have to try and shed the damage we don't need
Oh justice shake your head
I'm wasting my time
We can break this drought
Wanna tell ya I love ya I need ya in the night
Sometimes I get so full
I wanna tell ya I'm feeling alright
I'm shaken to the bone
And on my way home
Adjust an omen at the door
Singing baby wont you please get a hold without it
And while you sit there on the phone tell me baby
I'm a liar you don't seem to care what I care about and baby it's a shame
To be wasted
All across the world
There are things we need to forget and forgive
Sometimes we have to try and shed the damage we don't need
Oh justice shake your head
Dearest helpless
Intent's not as bad as the action
Take a breath to distort
The fear in your eyes
I don't mean it to hurt
But every time I hate you
I think of you first
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down
Equalize the pressure, it's all too much
Sex drugs and image is just enough
To get you by in the real world
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down
He's made you blind
I'm just the kind
To bring you, to bring you...
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind
Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue
C'mon abuse me more I like it
Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell
C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true
Moon covered determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach, try to decrease
To make it easier on me
Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself 'cause no one will
I'll make it easier
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Stay alert cause I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Hold yourself 'cause no-one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul, change the tide
And ride the wave back here to me
Be the one
Without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view
I live for yesterday,
No one cares or understands,
Don't feel pain, I'm made of steel,
I can't answer you,
If you ask me how I am 'cause I,
I don't know just how I feel.
I can feel oh...
Any pain you give me,
But I'll take it and throw it away.
I'm a hypocrite,
But that's O.K. 'cause I do like it,
But I am careful who I burn,
I am free falling,
With no parachute at all but,
I don't have any concerns.
I can feel,
Any pain you give me,
But I'll take it and throw it away,
I will kneel oh...
To any king you give me,
But I'll tell you what I'd say.
Why are you any better than anyone else
Why are you so good
Why are you any better than anyone else
Why are you so good
Why are you any better than anyone else
Why are you so good
Why are you any better than anyone else
Why are you so good
I can't release you,
You're a madman,
Need help to,
Madman, madman.
You're tied to alcohol,
It starts to take its toll,
Madman, madman,
Oh, madman mad.
Mind filled with confusion,
Your life's an illusion,
Madman, madman, oh, ugh,
Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak?
And I'd catch you when you fall
But you're falling all the time
Do you need it anymore?
Or do you need a little more?
Living your life like a bull in the trade
He doesn't know how it feels
Under my thumb like a bone under nail
She's in the know, how's it feel?
Live your life under machine guns
Canary down the mine
Maybe I'm on the lever
Spoiling my broth like a radio kid
Programmed computerised minds
Waving my luck under your nose
Miles Away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out.
Old incisions refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees on a cloudy day
Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom the wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out
Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
False light and ashes
Blooming like winter
Dry eyes and cracked lips
Under the stone wall
Withdrawn and wishless
You brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
But I've waited for you so I'll keep crying out
I'm just another body down
Internal bleeding round and round
And all I can think of are ways to die alone
And all I can think of are ways to die alone
A portrait of my skeletal gain
Left selfish and hungry so feed me the pain
Escape reality with new pain
Then let the cycle start again
And all I can think of are ways to die alone
And all I can think of are ways to die alone
Dream of content, a pain filtered farm
All I can say.......
Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad when negativity's a state of mind
Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
Contain yourself
I will compress
What I am to
Replace yourself
With what you have
Your substitute
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Refrain, confess
Contain, repress
Pretend I'm dead
Abuse myself
Confuse myself
I won't be led
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Stalled at young modern station
Arthritic conversation
Life has a dead line lately
Allergic and in the news
The clocks are ticking timeless
Dead Dali days behind us
The band is back together
Allergic and in the news
Does it make you cry
When I make you feel so far away
The interviews over
Stuck to the goal
To rescue my skin
I need a different liquor
So sick of getting sicker
And I'm moving back to the country
Allergic and in the news
Does it make you cry
When I make you feel so far away
The interviews over
Stuck to the goal
To rescue my skin
You're so far away
The interviews over
He dreams of tracks and choices
I think I'm hearing voices
Does it make you cry
When I make you feel so far away
The interviews over
Stuck to the goal
To rescue my skin
You're so far away
All the bridges in the world won't save you
If there is no other side to cross to
When you're not feeling ugly
The world's not too much
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders
Half full glasses
Lost in empty houses
When you're not feeling ugly
The world's not too much
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders
Violent, big and violent
Like a thing that's big
Big and violent
A world that's big and violent
When you're not feeling ugly
The world's not too much
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
I fondle keys to my heart when everyone's heart
Seems so calm
And you found the lock
To my dorm and opened the door to my trust
Fund…. my vestry
The light in my darkest hour is fear
Denies me of anything good sooo…….
Don't lose your heart you'll need it
You'll have to take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine.
Take everything that you're not and don't be so
Scared to tamper (temper) with (temper) "tampered with" evidence (tamper)
Coz you'll come along for the sun if you come at all
To lose your heart you'll have to take, take and take.
Painting a lie seeing the colours but you seem
Closer to everything
Closer now than we ever have been
We're closer now than we ever should (we) be
Closer now than we've ever been before
Closer to everything
Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things
It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine
For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything
To all of the animals who keep sipping the sweat
>From my back,
You're making me ill
I can't get enough
So take another pill and tell another lie
She tripped on a hole that I'd dug in the soil
To be part of a human garden and I couldn't
Stand in the straight postured sun
But you stood in the mud which came unsoiled
When I came along
You see it's good for nothing, good for nothing
A close look at something
So close
It's too much of not enough
When all we need is just a taste
I strapped myself in for a safe saccharide
Before it started I tried to be anything I saw fit
And it all seemed to fit but you came undone
When I came along
Blind white lies and shallow truth
Broken strings and stolen youth
I've seen too much of not enough but
You came much closer than they had before……
You never stop needing
There was a man that knew too much
With a panic attic mind but a chance to numb
His golden touch to ignore the will of time
Had me struck down open to the fact
I was standing in a line with a broken occupation on my back
Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say it's changing every day
The way I'm thinking in different shades of grey
It's not enough to say that this is my love
He had the anti midas touch
Temporary state of mind
But a chance to die enhances growth
Now I'm trembling all the time
Stumble round making faces on the scene
Scene what what
Stumble round make your faces on your own
Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say it's changing every day
The way I'm thinking in different shades of grey
It's not enough to say that this is my love
I'm not your mocking bird
That sings your cellar song
She got a paper run
You're compensated
Can we all gather round on the scene
Can we all move around on our own
Are ya a mover shaker all alone
Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say it's changing every day
The way I'm thinking in different shades of grey
It's not enough to say
Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say but this is my love
I'm not your mocking bird
That sings your cellar song
Welcome to the closing
Not for love, what for?
It's easy to be taken
But to say
Come again, leave again
Waste of time, come again
I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
And I know that you can't see my pain
But you know that I can see your pain
Come again, leave again
Waste of time, come again
I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
Me and shame are the same
Me and shame take the blame
Me and pain are the same
Me and shame take the blame
Come again, leave again
Waste of time, come again
I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
This is tearing me apart
If the sun won't shine
Forever will never be fine
Underneath the hollow ground
Lies a night time sky
For only a desperate eye
When I'm paranoid I see walls behind walls behind walls
When I'm over joyed I see falls over falls over falls
When I'm all alone I'll be wary and careful to
Only eat with uncles
Never talk to strangers
God is in the kitchen
Faking baby dangers
Change whatever karma means
For the only things that end never truly begin
If this streets air ain't up to par
I'll take my clothes and take this strange behaviour
Not only liked but loved as well
If this streets air ain't up to par
I'll take my clothes and take this strange behaviour
Not only liked but loved as well
If this keeps tearing me apart
The walls come down won't stop this empty feeling
Breathing from a hole in my lung
I had no one
But faces in front of me
Racing through the void in my head
To find traces of a good luck academy
Sparks ignite and trade them for thought
About no one
And nothing in particular
Washed the sickened socket and drove
Resent nothing
There's good will inside of me
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
Something I will never forget
I felt desperate
And stuck to the marrow
Invisible to everyone else
I'm a sex change
And a damsel with no heroine
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
I don't need no time to say
There's no changing yesterday
If we keep talking and
I keep walking in straight lines
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
Sitting in my bedroom,
You know I'm spinning.
Haven't got much headroom,
But I'm only living.
When I'm like this,
I can only just sit,
Why did you get me into this shit,
Help me get out of it now.
I don't know what you will allow.
You've got me stoned,
Sitting in my bedroom spinning.
Stoned, yeah.
When is this feeling gonna wear away,
I know the Devil's looking up at me,
You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got

Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin

When he was just a little boy,
He only had one favourite toy.
And he had nothing on his mind,
He never left anything behind.
As he got older, things got worse,
Like he'd been born under a curse.
Things started to fall apart,
They weren't like they were at the start.
No, it's like a civil war.
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore.
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.
And now that he was in his teens,
He'd started to learn what life means.
Problems were still appearing,
They didn't look like disappearing.
Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate
I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well, I guess it's fate
I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see, I have no specialty
Here's your warning
I'll give you click click boom
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
Maybe your luck has changed
Settle down
Maybe I'm just deranged
And on the rebound
Maybe love was the thing
Holding me back from all
Maybe I'm just the thing
To break my own fall
Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall
Maybe departure's good
Makes room for more
Start to mass produce
For a chance to ignore
Maybe you'll kill yourself
Before I get a turn
Maybe I'll fall in love
And never learn
Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall
Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life
Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
Breathe in the night
That crushed a tired sunrise
Born again the day
Brings young naivety
A laptop souvenir is worth its weight
In silver a golden son
You'll be home again
And I'll be home again
Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing under water
Waddle on the wake
Waking on a summer day
After all these years
Forget about all the troubled times
Munificent, artless and ascetic
Playing like a scared
Enthusiastic pawn
And every father's pain
Casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again
And I'll be whole again
All those years
I was hurting to feel
Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping
I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination
I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings
across the night
it was the moon who stole my slumber
across the night
i fell in love with people sleeping..
across the night..
across the night..
across the night..
i hugged a mans arthritic shoulder
Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me
I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings
across the night
it was the moon who stole my slumber
across the night
i fell in love with people sleeping..
across the night..
across the night..
across the night..
i hugged a mans arthritic shoulder
i hugged a mans arthritic shoulder..
So let us be married and have another baby
Coz I don't wanna be lonely I just wanna be alone
Yeh let's just get married shouting baby, baby, babies
"You'll never sleep at all"
But I don't wanna be lonely
Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely
a burning bridge
staging a traffic jam
intention stained upon expression
eyes the sky's darkest clouds
constipated mountains of condensation
*at the start there was innocence
breaks my heart doesn't make no sense just start again thats the recompense just learning to fly
in a sense
its innosence
its my only defense
on a guilt trip
and being held hostage
I'll wrap my heart around you
I'll wrap my arms around you
falling down the stairs
*see this chair see this empty room
Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think i'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me
I want to find my brain
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true hapiness
I must be blind
Make a joke and i will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness, I cannot feel
I'd love to be, it's so unreal
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
Bye bye, don't cry,
I hear you lying now that everyone is playing here in time
My my, don't cry,
I'm broken overtime I'm wide awake and never close my eyes
You don't wanna know what its like to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna know what its like to be left here on my own
I wait to get you away from souvenirs these rumours here have never really shown
I knew a man who sailed into Japan he said he wants to drown and be alone
You don't wanna know what its like to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna know what it's like to be left here on my own
What's new, we're not lonely but we miss you.
Too bad, I'm glad, I'm never really sad, you need to know when you can pull the shift
Deny, that's why, I never say goodbye and every word's a temporary plea
You don't wanna know what its like
to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna know what it's like
to be left here on my own
You don't wanna know what its like
to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna what it's like
to be left here on my own
Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think i'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me
I want to find my brain
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness
I must be blind
Make a joke and i will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness, I cannot feel
I'd love to be, it's so unreal
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
Contained in my cotton crib
Where I feel no turbulence
The ocean sleeps upon a shelf
And it feeds my apathy
But I can feel it in the night
Like rain upon my skin inside a winter
But you began to splinter
If I decide to recognise my thorns
Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away in the night
I feel the sun before it's light
And it fades away into the night
I was afraid, I feed myself
I cleared the shelf and killed the shame
But I can feel it in the night
Collect the rocks and throw them over borders
To shake the muddy waters
And clear myself from hiding every thorn
Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away
And we grow
From a garden where all that we know
You're just a fool for him
For him
For him
Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away
Dry in the day, and fading away
I was so wasted
I was so wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy man, I lived on the strand
I was so wasted
I was so fucked up
I was so messed up
I was so screwed up I was out of my head
I was so jacked up
I was so drunk up
I was so knocked out, I was out of my head
I was so wasted
I was wasted
Someday
I'll feel no pain
Someday
I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts
and let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday
We'll all be rich
Someday
I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume
And you can hear all the shit we play just for you
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
I'm just another body down
internal bleeding round & round
and all I can think or are ways to die alone (2#)
A portrait of my skeletal gain
left self-ish & hungry so feed me the pain
escape reality with new pain
then let the cycle start again
and all I can think of are ways to die alone (2#)
Dream of content
a pain filtered farm
all I can say.....
Dreams are bad
when all they do is leave the truth behind
deams are bad
In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
Well he's only your God
I'm the first male lesbian
I feel less being jaded
The gayest straight boy that you'll ever meet
And I meet everyone only not in the flesh
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in
In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
He never knew why but hell, he made a fault
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
Head's tied to a rolling sculpture
Limp feet proceed to hold me
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
We're living in
We're living in
We're living in
We're living in, we're living in
There's gonna be a new race
Kids are gonna start it up
I'm gonna mutate
Can't you say yeah, hah
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you

We've gotta get some control
Kids are gonna mutate
From an endless roll
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you
Oh yeah
Sick of sacking the town
Keeps faking us out
Kids are gonna reject
They're just gonna punch you
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, we're really gonna punch you
Oh yeah
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you out
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you
Yeah hah, I'm really gonna punch you
Falls down slowly
Seeps into the ground
Isn't just flowing water
Won't stop until your brain is found
Seeps into your little green eyes
'til it meets your brain
Runnin' through all of your brain cells
'til it drives you insane
Acid, acid rain
Acid, acid rain
Falls down slowly
Seeps into your mind
Falls down slowly
Seeps into your little green eyes
'til it meets your brain
Runnin' through all of your brain cells
'til it drives you insane
Acid, acid rain
Acid, acid rain
Falls down slowly
Seeps into your mind
Falls down slowly
Acid, acid rain
Acid, acid rain
Acid, acid rain
Acid, acid rain
Falls down slowly
Seeps into your mind
Follow the tides
Drown in your headspin
Forget the world tonight
Leave all my joys
People are plastic
A war with elastic knights
And I know how you feel in the night
Do you know how I feel in the night?
'Cause I know why I feel all the
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
Face down holes
Pay them with love
'Cause money is hollow
This time is not for self emotions
Comfort motions are hard to notice
And I know how you feel in the night
Do you know how I feel in the night?
'Cause I know why I feel all the
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
I haven't seen ya in the longest time
I gotta say, can't get ya off my mind
I'm like a shakin' fool
Whoo ooo...
Lately I'm dining on gin and sake
I'd like to dress you like a rich Iraqi
So separated
Whoo ooo...
I'm in the secret cellar
You're becoming Barbarella
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know where to get up
So stay around
I'll tell you secrets in the night
oooh oooh...
She came out looking like some Cinderella
Walked out the door becoming Barbarella
It's hard to keep my cool
Whoo ooo...
I'm in the secret cellar
You're becoming Barbarella
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know where we'll get up
So stay around
And tell me secrets in the night
oooh oooh...
Keep holding questions with a million answers
We got pedestrian Brazillian dancers
Who like to break the rules
oooh oooh...
I'm in the secret cellar
You're becoming Barbarella
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know where to get up
So stay around
I'll tell you secrets in the night
oooh oooh...
I'm in the secret cellar
You're becoming Barbarella
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know where we'll get up
So stay around
And tell me secrets in the night
You know my heart beats rhythm and my dreams still take me higher
I've travelled round the world but they can't cure my desire
The city looks pretty tonight
Hold on now let's go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
I'm a shell shocked lover, under cover that's my game
I'm your long lost brother, little sister what's your name
I feel so alone
I'm stranded and so far from home I'm calling
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love
Love - stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Give me one good reason why you don't come play with fire
'Cos when the earth starts moving you know I'm no liar
The city looks pretty tonight
Oh hold on now let's go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love stand by
Stand by love
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by love
Stand by love stand by love
Stand by me
(she's still on her own, man
can you her me?
yeah she's still on her own
we gotta take her out
see i can't do if she's on her own
yeah i don't what we do, i don't care,
lets just take her out)
(should we sing some kinda chorus? YEAHHHH)
She's the rats on my finger
the rats on my finger
rats on my nose
She's the rats on my finger
finger, the rats on my finger
laughed at my nose
(YEAHHHHH)
(ok mac, are you ready?)
She's the rats on my finger
the rats on my finger
rats on my nose
She's the rats on my finger
the rats on my finger
When I find my thoughts
It seems I'm losing myself
In the dark of my mind
In the ocean of time
So I read between the cracks
In the time that I write
But the salt water's dry
And the pain's in the sky
Give me something real
Something I can feel
Because the truth feels like a movie
All you do is ramble
Discard your life for shambles
Ramble
To break the silence
Open up and ramble
To break the silence and open your mind
Leave it behind you
No longer engaged
To insecure scars
Cause nothing's secure
It's just kept behind bars
And I love everything
You've learnt to ignore
But you don't wanna hear
If you've heard it before
I'll give you something real
Something you can feel
You take your life and make of it what you can
All you do is ramble
Discard your life for shambles
Ramble
To break the silence
Open up and ramble
To break the silence and open your mind
Leave it behind you
Open up your eyes
Stop thinkin' 'bout all of the things you were never shown
Open up your eyes
Stop thinkin' 'bout all of the things you were never shown
Cause all you do is ramble
So light another candle
All you do is ramble
Discard your life for shambles
Ramble
To break the silence
Open up and ramble
To break the silence and open your mind
Unexpecting brother
Doesn't know what to do
When everything just falls to the ground ohh
He runs to find some cover
He doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found
When he's informed that he
Will never see the boy
Will never see the boy
You'll never see him open his eyes
We'll never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ohh yeah ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh,
Thinking of the past,
It's all over now,
Mother nature's striked once again,
It happened oh so fast,
Now the question's how,
How could they let that building descend,
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh,
You will never see the boy,
You will never see the boy,
You will never see him open his eyes,
You will never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
You'll only hear his heavenly cries,
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh,
Yeah, no no never, no ohhh,
After your life, i leave, i'm dead,
Leading me off through the night,
If he's born again, i need you to find,
Hey!
I was so wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy man, I lived on the street
I was so wasted
I was so fucked up
I was so messed up
I was so screwed up I was out of my head
I was so jacked up
I was so drunk up
I was so knocked out, I was out of my head
I was so wasted
I was wasted
Someday
I'll feel no pain
Someday
I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday
We'll all be rich
Someday
I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume and you can hear the shit we play just for you
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Contain yourself
I will compress
What I am to
Replace yourself
With what you have
Your substitute
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Refrain, confess
Contain, repress
Pretend I'm dead
Abuse myself
Confuse myself
I won't be led
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Welcome to the closing
Not for love, what for?
It's easy to be taken
But to say
Come again, leave again
Waste of time, come again
I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
And I know that you can't see my pain
But you know that I can see your pain
Come again, leave again
Waste of time, come again
I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
Me and shame are the same
Me and shame take the blame
Me and pain are the same
Me and shame take the blame
Come again, leave again
Waste of time, come again
I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
Welcome to the closing
I fondle keys to my heart when everyone's heart
Seems so calm
And you found the lock
To my dorm and opened the door to my trust
Fund…. my vestry
The light in my darkest hour is fear
Denies me of anything good sooo…….
Don't lose your heart you'll need it
You'll have to take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine.
Take everything that you're not and don't be so
Scared to tamper (temper) with (temper) "tampered with" evidence (tamper)
Coz you'll come along for the sun if you come at all
To lose your heart you'll have to take, take and take.
Painting a lie seeing the colours but you seem
Closer to everything
Closer now than we ever have been
We're closer now than we ever should (we) be
Closer now than we've ever been before
Closer to everything
Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things
It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine
For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything
To all of the animals who keep sipping the sweat
>From my back,
You're making me ill
And
I can't get enough
So take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine.
When he was just a little boy,
He only had one favourite toy.
And he had nothing on his mind,
He never left anything behind.
No.
As he got older, things got worse,
Like he'd been born under a curse.
Things started to fall apart,
They weren't like they were at the start.
No, it's like a civil war.
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore.
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.
And now that he was in his teens,
He'd started to learn what life means.
Problems were still appearing,
They didn't look like disappearing.
No.
Breathing from a hole in my lung
I had no one
But faces in front of me
Racing through the void in my head
To find traces of a good luck academy
Sparks ignite and trade them for thought
About no one
And nothing in particular
Washed the sickened socket and drove
Resent nothing
There's good will inside of me
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
Something I will never forget
I felt desperate
And stuck to the marrow
Invisible to everyone else
I'm a sex change
And a damsel with no heroine
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
I don't need no time to say
There's no changing yesterday
If we keep talking and
I keep walking in straight lines
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
Bye bye, don't cry,
I hear you lying now that everyone is playing here in time
My my, don't cry,
I'm broken overtime I'm wide awake and never close my eyes
You don't wanna know what its like to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna know what its like to be left here on my own
I wait to get you away from souvenirs these rumours here have never really shown
I knew a man who sailed into Japan he said he wants to drown and be alone
You don't wanna know what its like to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna know what it's like to be left here on my own
What's new, we're not lonely but we miss you.
Too bad, I'm glad, I'm never really sad, you need to know when you can pull the shift
Deny, that's why, I never say goodbye and every word's a temporary plea
You don't wanna know what its like
to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna know what it's like
to be left here on my own
You don't wanna know what its like
to be stuck like wind to bone
And I don't wanna what it's like
to be left here on my own
What's new, we're not lonely but we miss you.
