BASF SE is the largest diversified chemical company in the world and is headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany.BASF originally stood for Badische Anilin- und Soda-Fabrik (English: Baden Aniline and Soda Factory). Today, the four letters are a registered trademark and the company is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, and Zurich Stock Exchange. The company delisted its ADR from the New York Stock Exchange in September 2007.

Its headquarters is located in Ludwigshafen am Rhein (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany). BASF has customers in over 200 countries and supplies products to a wide variety of industries.

In 2010, BASF posted sales of €63.87 billion and income from operations before special items of about €8.1 billion.

the night speeds though at its breakneck pace
gotta run to keep up, gotta keep on the case
and the people that you meet
well they're speeding too
i get up, i get in a cab
the driver says he loves his wife, she's in the slammer
he's got some advice 'cause i'm new here
we're in the land, We're in the land
the land of everything and nothing at all
Wait till it takes you by the hand
its got it all, but it's got no soul!
we're in the land, la la la land
the land of everything and nothing at all
i'm sorry, i do not understand
finally get to the place where i'm supposed to be
i met a girl and a girl met me
and she's lets me in on
just how to see the light here
she says her life was in disarray,
till she found these pills that took the pain away
On a rising tide
Rollercoaster ride
As the trip descends
You chose not to ride again
And so you run,
What you holding on, holding on to
Life is going on, all around you
What you holding on, holding on to
Used to love to dance
Loved to take a chance
But something turned inside
And the dreams they got left behind
And so you run
What you holding on, holding on to
Life is going on, all around you
What you holding on, holding on to
Look what's going on, all around you
Don't want to have to make a change
Wouldn't want to exaggerate the pain
Go running back to the old ways
And so you run
Whatcha holding on, holding on to
Life is going on, all around you
What you holding on, holding onto
Look what's going on, all around you
What you holding on, holding onto
Life is going on all around you
You got right to ask a question
Got the right to understand
Got the right to choose your company
And speak from where you stand
All your babies born inside out
Right on time, wrong way round
We've come to tell what you are
I'm not fucking all right
I'm semi-normal
All bark and no bite
I'm semi-normal
Got the right to build your freeway
Got the right to force your plans
Got the right to choose your destiny
And milk it while you can
All you mothers living in the clouds
Look at you, you're upside down
We have come to step on your world
I'm not fucking all right
I'm semi-normal
All bark and no bite
I'm semi-normal
A seed that has been sown
A dream you can't control
In the west where we know best
We move along without the rest
I'm not fucking all right
I'm semi-normal
All bark and no bite
I'm semi-normal
I'm not fucking all right
I'm semi-normal
All bark and no bite
well i bought myself today
it's like they know what i'm thinking away
we'll make a meal of all the words they steal
and pin 'em up against a wall
and thanks for your concern
but i'll do my own facts and figures
finish off the deal by keeping the shit real
when your appointment was for all
you don't need a trademark to go your own way
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark to blow 'em all way
(stand on your own or go to to hell)
you don't need a trademark to go your own way
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark no matter who says
(stand on your own or go to hell)
so keep your shit away from me

so keep your shit away from me
cos i know where you've been
and i would
with no effort
say that i'm free
to be me
you don't need a trademark
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)

(to go your own way)
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark
(to blow them all away)
(stand on your own or go to hell)
you don't need a trademark
Inside, I'm all twisted 'round
Feeling uptight and I can't come down
And I need someone to sell me
I'm safe again
And I need someone to tell me
That they really care
What have we become?
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
Back up, evolution here
All the sick fucks, being born to kill
They just need someone to sell them
They're safe again
They all need someone to tell them
That somebody cares
What have we become?
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
You're going to bring the world down
Bring the whole world down
What have we become?
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
What have we become?
Could you comfort me, comfort me?
The whole world's come undone
We can't always be together
You gotta pick it up, you gotta pick it up again
Things can't always hang together
'Cause nobody knows, so let's give it a go
Home
You'll be running all the way back home
But nothing's gonna save your soul
You'll be running all the way back home
Home
We can't always make things better
When it comes around you gotta nail it down
And this ain't gonna be forever
'Cause nobody knows, so let's give it a go
Home
You'll be running all the way back home
But nothing's gonna save your soul
You'll be running all the way back home
Home
If there was some way to manage this space between us
(If there was some way to manage this space between us)
I find it hard to reach
Home
You'll be running all the way back home
But nothing's gonna save your soul
'Till you've finally found your peace on your own
You'll be running all the way
Because life is short and getting shorter
And we don't do things that we oughta
Life is short and getting shorter
You and your views
Give me a place to shed my skin
There's no point waiting around to begin
'Cos the more it takes, the more you feel
Ain't got much but I know it's real
Ain't got time to waste your life away
All the people around you, walls that surround you
Are coming down
And the things that you feel, hearts that you steal
They'll be coming down for love
All the people around you, walls that surround you
Are coming down
And the things that you hide, won't be denied
They'll be coming down, coming down for love
Open up and let 'em in
Love ain't something that you can win
'Cos the more it takes, the more you feel
Ain't got much but we know it's real
Ain't got time to waste your life away
All the people around you, walls that surround you
Are coming down
And the things that you feel, hearts that you steal
They'll be coming down for love
All the people around you, walls that surround you
Are coming down
And the things that you hide, won't be denied
They'll be coming down, coming down for love
Now for every boy and every girl
With all the pain and joy in the world
We don't mean nothing without love
All the people around you, walls that surround you
Are coming down
And the things that you feel, hearts that you steal
They'll be coming for love
All the people around you, walls that surround you
Are coming down
And the things that you hide, won't be denied
They'll be coming down, coming down for love
Out on the search for something happening
I lose where I begin
now that something means nothing
a gone man set lose upon the street
moves on up to me
and says with feeling...
When you can't find the world
you can only find yourself
and you can't break away
'til you find your own way
but it takes time...
Gone man, I'm searching for a scene
for something to believe
but you make no sense to me
I've no time for words from an old man
he says "get 'em while you can
'cause life burns up and then it's gone"
When you can't find the world
you can only find yourself
and you can't break away
'til you find your own way
surround yourself with love but nothing else
then you can break away
when you find your own way
and it's only time...
When you're feeling low,
Lower than the floor,
And you feel like you ain't got a chance,
(BOM, BOM, BOM)
Don't make a move,
til you're in the groove,
And Do The Peter Panda Dance.
Hop 3 time like a kangaroo.
Side step twice just like those crabs do,
3 steps forward,
1 step back,
Quick like a turtle lie on your back,
Roll like a log til you can't roll no more,
Hop up quick like there ain't no floor,
Hold your breath,
And jump to the left,
And that's the Peter,
I swear that's the Peter,
That's the Peter Panda Dance!
[Instrumental]
I hope I never see you again
I hope I never touch you again
Sometimes I wonder, what's fucked in my heart
Won't let your fingers tear us apart
It's all so simple, it's all over again
A lack of talent is caving you in
Sometimes I wonder what's fucked in your heart
We're losing grip now, now we're falling apart
The speaker speaks but the words sound haunted
So much it's falling out of your hands
Could you ever tell?
And it's there for me, there to see
And it's in full view
Why did I waste my time on you?
And so you begin to sit and wait
For the drugs to kick in and take the pain away
And all that you had
And all that you lost
Can you feel it now?
Can you feel it now?
As the weight of the world
Hangs on you shoulders
The weight of the world
Starts to take over again
And over again
All that you once loved, now you hate
So slowly relearn how to meditate
To have and to hold
And never let go
Can you feel it now?
Can you feel it now?
As the weight of the world
Hangs on you shoulders
The weight of the world
Starts to take over and over and over again
You've already cut yourself off
Before you begin
But its better to let it all out
Than holding it in
As the weight of the world
Hangs on your shoulders
The weight of the world
Starts to take over
The weight of the world
Hangs on you shoulders
The weight of the world
Starts taking over
The weight of the world
Hangs on your shoulders
The wait for the girl
Starts taking over again
And over again
And so you begin to sit and wait…
We could choose to disregard it
Or have some fun and break it
Since god has just departed
We could carry on or fake it
Who has a better plan
What's the true nature of man
What's money to your soul
Watch as money takes control
And is there space for every boy and girl
In a competitive, material world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
And I'm trying too hard to believe
Know when to draw the line
Know there's a grand design
Know there's a better way
I don't know and cannot say
When my respect for man
Has taken all it can
The purchase of your soul
Placate and we have lost control
Placate and we have lost control
Is it daddy's little boys and girls
Become the acne on the face of the world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
And I'm trying too hard to believe
We could choose to disregard it
We could choose to disregard it
Who has a better plan
What's the true nature of man
What's money to your soul
Watch as money takes control
Is it Daddy's little boys and girls
Become the acne on the face of the world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
And is there space for every boy and girl
In a competitive, material world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
And I'm trying too hard to believe
Sometimes I burn like a paper dog
but mostly, the thing I like doing is doing nothing at all
you're right, I'm going nowhere
I've got nowhere to go
and super-colour nightmare's got something of a hold
So we're slaves of destiny now, are we?
and it's always such an effort to believe
in what you want to be
believe in what you want to be
I take a leather pouch when I go out
there's no money in it
but boredom hits where it most counts
I've had my limit
well we will rise again and boredom ain't my freind
Don't turn your back. don't you be no slack jack. don't turn your back. x2
So we're slaves of destiny now, are we?
thats why it's gonna be such an effot to see...
that in a young country
we're free to be what we want to be
gotta ditch the distractions to create a reaction
Don't turn your back. don't you be no slack jack. don't turn your back. x4
so we're slaves of destiny now are we?
and it's always such an effort to believe
in what you want to be
believe in what you want to be
You better run
as fast as you can
'cause this passenger's not a happy man
start running just as fast as you can
You say, you need a friend
hey, well so do I
but this passenger's just passing by
passenger is just passing
bye.
At your age and stage
you should understand
but you don't care. you got a master plan
fuck, fuck, fuck 'em all and take what you can
A freezing cold stare
and a flick in the eye
passengers just passing by
passengers just passing by
passengers just passing by
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice x4
You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2
Don't it feel good just to be alive still holding everything inside
You don't know what you want
so you take what you can
still don't make you a happy man
start running just as fast as you can
A freezing cold stare
and a flick in the eye
passengers just passing by
passengers just passing by
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice x2
for all things gained there's a sacrifice
to walk on water you gotta sink in the ice
You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2
and don't it feel good just to be alive,
don't it feel good just to be alive
you're still holding everything inside
And you don't know what you want, do ya?
know what you want?
what you want?
You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2
[Youre still holding]
Evrything inside x2
Well I'm sad but I'm not empty
'cause today it's on the cards that I'm on the move
and it's alright 'cause when I'm leaving
my mind draws me a picture to keep of you
Because I can get a little lonely once in a while
because I can, I've become a victim of your smile
because you know I can, I can make it back from all those miles
I'm sore from a crash landing
at least I made it back from my trip to the moon
and it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing
the thrill of anticipation gets me through
I've gotta get to you
Because I can get a little lonely once in a while
because I can, I've become a victim of your smile
Though it hurts sometimes, remember
that the beauty lies in everything you do
and it's alright i know you don't believe in love
but i believe in you
Oh yes i do, yes i do
it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing
the thrill of anticipation gets me through
I've gotta get to you
Though it hurts sometimes, remember
that the beauty lies in everything you do
and it's alright i know you don't believe in love
but i believe in you
yes i do, yes i do, oh yes i do, yes i do
these stations are empty
so distant i just cant seem to touch them
most of the time
you can find safety in the smooth clear surface
as cool as a breeze
as helpless as this vacant civilisation
and the air we breath
in long, slow breaths
it got us picking up our power
we're free
feeling free
well i run out of eyes and i run out of hands
and i'm moving through spaces i don't understand
but the last thing you feel before the end of your fall
is the start of a new life
show us how to feel
gotta fear of flying
been failing for years and now I'm sick of trying
salvations gotta gun
no answers there for me
no sins left to pay
Hey all you people in the shiny cars
who dug the trenches will reach the stars
we'll watch the funny program
what's it, show or tell?
if it's not what you're thinking
then you can go to hell
Or is it an illusion?
is it an illusion?
Sport and religion
what a game
you can call it progress
but what's the aim?
you can't fake the fantastic
no more, no more
we can't keep on hacking away
when no one knows the score
Or it's an illusion?
is it an illusion?
i'm not here anymore...alright...huh
i can't hear anymore...it's a slow cry
i don't know how you feel, i'm just a cog in the wheel
a cog in the wheel
(don't you know) you're not for parole
(you don't need) to take the whole world
(something's wrong) i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
(bring it on)
this ain't no foolin' around...alright...huh
i ain't got time for that now...it's a...lights out
i don't know how ya feel, i'm just a cog in the wheel
i'm just a cog in the wheel
(don't you know) you're not for parole
(you don't need) to take the whole world
(something's wrong) i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
bring it on
bring it on, bring it on
bring it on
bring it on, bring it on
(don't you know) you're not for parole
(you don't need) to take the whole world
(something's wrong) i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
(just a cog in the wheel)
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
(just a cog in the wheel)
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
i know respect, i won't let it get to me
(just a cog in the wheel)
You feeling good today
cause I got told that you were
smashed up on your own motorway
but it's O.K
the first upon the scene
a life support machine
but you still collapse as if you were an accidental star
Do you know what the time is
is it messing with your mind kid
are you hurting all the time
and you need a pacifier
come on, lets take a look outside
Don't look so worried you know
there ain't no hurry
cause life's supposed to ebb and flow
now you're all clear to go
and when you're out there
no, they can't catch you
precious star, you are the best at what you are
and do you know what the time is
is it messing with your mind kid
are you hurting all the time
and you need a pacifier
come on, lets take a look outside
Who got the buzzer
Who got the bell
You gonna false start
Who gonna tell
Got no possessions
Got no car
Just close my eyes
Gone too far
I don't care when my heads outta phase
I'm prepared to feel just great
I don't care for getting stuck
With a life of wasted time
You got my number
I'm on your list
Do me a favour
Stick to the wrist
Don't like that nose job
Don't like her hair
You heard the latest?
Who really cares
I don't care if my head's outta phase
I'm prepared to feel just great
I don't care for getting stuck
With a life of wasted time
I prefer walking out of line
The latest offer
You got the time
Why do you bother?
A movement sideways
It's all it takes
You're the light in the soul,
a lifeline through it all.
You connect me when I'm gone,
out on my own,
I'm never alone,
when i'm out of control.
Cause you will always remind me that,
that all of this is just imaginary, and
and you will always be there
when I need someone to show me,
that i'll never be alone.
Read the lines you said,
now you're on your knees again.
But you're never alone,
when you're out on your own,
and out of control.
Cause you will always remind me that,
that all of this is just imaginary, and
and you will always be there
when I need someone to show me,
that i'll never be alone.
And I'm on my way, please believe it,
just another day where you are,
cause you know that it's written in the stars.
Cause you will always remind me that,
that all of this is just imaginary, and
and you will always be there
when I need someone to show me,
that I'll never be alone.
And you will always remind me...
(I'll never be alone...)
One time through the door.
And on the floor.
All I wanna be is just a little whore.
All I wanna do what, I wanna do to myself.
I cut my ity bity self.
I can't think about you and what you wanna do.
I should, I better stop myself cause you could be like
You be like that you could be like this old man that said.
And this is what he said to me
I don't wanna feel this way anymore.
cause I cannot take all this won't you save me
I don't wanna feel this way anymore.
cause I cannot take all this won't you save me
I don't need this sh*t to end this endless story.
take my savior take, my pacifier
I don't need this sh*t to end this endless story.
take my savior take, my pacifier
Believe more in a core I've stored everything you said.
Put my hell to bed now again.
I am dreams bad ones as it seems is why I cannot redeem.
can't what I do everything I do is just for blame sake.
Anyways and this is what he said to me and anyway.
And this is what he said to me what he said to me
I don't wanna feel this way anymore.
cause I cannot take all this won't you save me
I don't wanna feel this way anymore.
cause I cannot take all this won't you save me
I don't need this sh*t to end this endless story.
take my savior take, my pacifier
I don't need this sh*t to end this endless story.
take my savior take, my pacifier
I don't need this sh*t to end this endless story.
take my savior, take my pacifier
I don't need this sh*t to end this endless story.
take my savior, take my pacifier
Sometimes,
feel at the edge of reason
I get strung out
feel like I'm going nowhere
and then you wind me up
just like you did before
gotta thrill, gotta chill, gotta spill
so I can rise again
just like everybody else
Sometimes,
question mark? full-stop.
this process is powerless
there's no way to the top
get fucked up just to fill me up
or so I tell myself
and this makes me wonder
process to order
Every now and then
right place, right time
get going with the flow of things
and I'm feeling fine
(it's alright)
getting back to basics
(ah ha)
back to the common mind
(it's alright)
got a chance to rise above
got a chance to be myself!
(ah ha)
If you come knocking on my door
I'll make sure that i'm not there
It's no fun being alone but don't you phone
I'm running...
'Cause i know and i'll always remember
what you said
Got woken by a missionary
Who'd come to deliver a message of peace
I told her peace was what I had
Until I was woken by a missionary
But if you go
I promise i will remember what you said
You are so majestic, so skillful
in the way that you make me sick
You are the perfect one
the only one for you
And now even though that it's true
still see a lot of myself in you
and now even though that it's true
it's only 'cause i'm a leo
it's so oh oh overly strange
i'm a rebel in my brain
but i'm just a midget
when it comes to being saved
beware little girl
your oh so cool clubs
could be passing judgement on you
you're so exclusive
so elusive
that you're not quite human
and now even though that is true
what else could a lost girl do
and now even though that is true
it's probably 'cause you're a leo
thank you so much for the conversation
i guess i'll be leaving now
thank you for the words of inspiration
i guess i'll be going
Put your clock back for the winter
She asks when I'll be home again?
If I could see those eyes
I know they'd cut me down to size
You're not here, when i need you
So sit and wait
And bend and break
You rise and fall
Just you, that's all
I'm here, you're there
It don't mean I don't care
I'm so sorry I was miles away
It's been a day of tiny triumphs
It's been a week spent in despair
You can't send it down a phone line
I do my best, but i'm not there
So sleep and wake
And dream up your fate
And rise and fall
Watch you grow tall
I'm here your there
But you should know i still love you
When i am miles away
I'll be home again
Met up with the ghost from the past
Who said...
I can't slow down, my minds moving too fast
And I don't like the things I'm thinking
I said brother, try to relax
It takes time for things to pass
He said fine and then he threw me out the door
Should of stayed
He was on the floor
So much pain
Could I have done more?
Saw a ghost from the past just the other day
His body still works but his soul flew away
Or sits somewhere inside behind locked doors
I said brother you should relax
You were better in times that past
He just smiled and looked straight thru me
All you people, in denial
I'd learn to run but it's not that simple
Friendly service - with a smile
But there's still no one to hand me a line
Said flowers for you people
It's like ashes to the blind
All you faces in a race
You've got your number - you've got your place
Keep pushing through thick and thin
Collect what you can before winter sets in
You can keep your ashes
What's keeping you blind?
Nothing at all
All you sees not what you wanted
All you sees not what you wanted at all
And we're heading for a time
Where what we've got are the things we find
And we're heading for a time
Believe that we're getting robbed
I'd learn to run
I'd learn to run but it's not that simple
I learned to run
State of things is so sad, sad, sad, sad, sad
We've got the latest in in fashion
We sway the peoples voice
Have you got the right kitchenware?
Have you made the right choice?
We make sure we sell it like you need it
If you don't get it we just repeat it
One more useless product
Until the next one comes
You bought one of those
Won't you try one of these
Cant you see we're just here to please you
We're here to keep you down
'cause if the people ain't wanting
See that sky through the window, that sky for me
But I got to learn to breathe water before I get that high
And all that is pure, through all that is meaningless
Strike the balance
Strip back to the core
And it's too late now, I'm much too far gone
To get a hold of my security and the cloud that I flew from
And I'm ready to start now, this is what I waited for
And the vision it brings such a beautiful thing
That I'm brought to my knees as I finally learn to breathe
See that face in the mirror
Past bone and skin and into the heart of me
I celebrate this bleeding
If that's what scares you
If that's what's pulling you down
Then its time you stop deceiving
'cause it's too late now
I just can't go on
Holding out on myself what and what I could become
And I'm ready to start now
I will 'cause I can
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
abrasive to the touch
all in all in all the same thing now
we are gathered here in nonesuch
hooks back to the line
and I trip over myself here
and i trip over myself
something's stuck in me here
and I can't get out
some in paint
some in blood
some in makeup
derail me
to everything -
churn, churn, churn
there is a season -
churn, churn, churn
there is a reason
churn, churn, churn
this ain't the time or the place
i am sick of walking into rainbows
i am sick of plugging into rainbows
i am sick of tuning into rainbows
if you want a vision of the future
imagine a boot standing on a human face
speed is our god
speed: 'the new cannon of beauty'
caught in static ecstasy
we climb...
keep moving onward
keep moving forward
keep moving onward
down
ideas left in torment
ideals left to drown
stuck in the factory
growth is our motto
why? the answer's in productivity
gotta give up whats mine
gotta fall into line
confused, pathetic and manic
splinter and entirety
spear-like shard
breaking hard
we should be breaking you
stuck in the factory
You've got a perfect girl
And it's a perfect world
You've built a fortress around you
Can see no reason not to continue
The things that you've always dreamed about
You know that in time they'll be running out
stop turnin around and round and round...
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holdin, holdin in your hands
And if this comfortable life
is your only passage through time
just make sure you can break through
the walls that you are building around you
the things that you always dreamed about
you know that in time, they'll be running out
stop turnin around and round and round...
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holdin, holdin in your hands
you wanna be part of the world
you gotta hand somethin over
you wanna be part of the world
the things that you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
the things that you always dreamed about
stop turnin around and round and round...
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holdin, holdin in your hands
(everythiiiiing) don't you want to hold it, hold it now
(everythiiiiing) that you need, you're holdin in your hands
(everythiiiiing) don't you want to hold it, hold it now
(everythiiiiing) that you need, is in your hands
borrowed reason
that taste stirs nothing in me
and the only way to get by
is being built into this wall
yeah it's a copout
standing still to please your doubt
and for years in a snare
we're so sorry we left out your reason to crawl
so sit down vacuum child get sucked in
desensitize, stand up
direct feed in through your eyes
but now your looking the wrong way
why play not wanting anymore
the first bites the best
so you leave the rest
lying face down like a razor
lying
good evening clapper loader
you should override the writer
making stories fold because truths are told
in better ways than these
believe me - i could show you if I had something to show
but your histories been bound and gagged
and the pattern thats ingrained tells you to...
crawl into yourself
I never thought we'd come this far
Sit still I wonder who you are today
Thinking, how much longer can we be apart?
Same story, I know it off by heartâ€'
OK, it's just another day...
Caught in a world that's bullitproof
I can't face the truth
But it won't drag me down
And I'm caught in a world that's bullitproof
Set me up to lose
But I won't let you down
Who's gonna tell me what you want
Roll over and expect it to work alright
OK, Why can't you realize today?
That you'reâ€'
Caught in a world that's bullitproof
And I can't face the truth
But it won't drag me down
And I'm caught in a world that's bullitproof
Set me up to lose
But I won't let you down
There's an emptiness inside when we're apart
And when I'm far away from where you are
There's too much time for trouble in my heart
In my heart...
Caught in a world that's bullitproof...
Caught in a world that's bullitproof...
Caught in a world that's bullitproof
I can't face the truth
But it won't drag me down
And I'm caught in a world that's bullitproof
Set me up to lose
But I won't let ya down...
I won't let you down...
In a world that's bullitproof...
I won't let you down...
In a world that's bullitproof...
I won't let you down...
In a world that's bullitproof...
Down
I look at you
You're a mystery
Sometimes you're just hell
All the same
It's no news to me
And we all fall down so typically
Intact
Attack
Me, like it's all that matters
Attack
And enclose me in your arms
What's that you said?
Oh, I'm history
Yeah, well I'm taking that as well
All the same
Only bruises me
And I get up with everything
Still intact
Our love
It's a battle
So the world is waiting
As you headed on out the door
Just to trip you up and spit you out
Well I can tell just what your thinking
I'll be there to catch you, falling out your tree tonight
Relax your mind, let it slowly float away tonight
Forget about the day
The world sits on your shoulders
Looks like an ugly weight to bear
Almost lost you underneath there
Well I can tell just what you're feeling
You should let it go 'cause we can start again tonight
Relax your mind, let it slowly float away tonight
get the sinking feeling
you're behind my head again
and the more I weed, the more it grows
and here I am, hung by my toes
the time spent set in cement
spent wasting my time
when i could have been pulling it down
it's my release
held down, entangled
it's a web of my own making
and this desolation's shaking me apart
build it up, paste it up, stick it up
stuck up. fucked. such a shame
my defences have become my own restrictions
my love
talk to me
it's a bone orchard
you cast your shadow
on my heart
All of us, connected
All of us on the same road home
And if one should fall or falter
Then we all reach down together as one
And we lift them up again
Only our world
Could we find some meaning
So we created our own
Still here today
I had a dream, I was lost at sea
All of you
Afloat on the same boat home
Please throw me a line
I think I'm drowning
So you all lent over
to pick me up
and we spent the rest of the night swimming
Nobody's falling apart
Don't need to know what your thinking
Kissed the world goodbye
Who owns the face inside the window?
Who holds the key to your soul
I don't care for the state I'm in
From deep down inside I feel it begin
Who holds the key to your soul?
I met a lamp and a man with a silvercup
Lamb has a grievance, wants to take it up with him
Lamb lies face down, Trampled in the pavement
There's still no reason to criticize
It's all here in black and white
Lay down the law so he can victimize the pack
You won't drag me down
All aboard the future, as he held in his hands
Pennies for the chosen but what about the lamb?
If you got something human that's still stiring inside
I hope it squeezes your heart so fuckin'' tight
That it gives you time to uncloud your eyes
Worked so hard to get your credentials
So young, so hip, so experimental
But you'll play the game in the end
So young, so hip, so perfectly able
You got a major talent
For making foolish things seem perfectly balanced
You've got the right idea
The worlds full of suckers
So won't you come along...
Your head is a rock
and it's doing in mine
If there's somebody in there
Just leave me a sign?
No, no, your head is a rock
So young, so hip, so experimental
Worked so hard to get influential
But you'll play the game in the end
you just the same
and the time keeps on ticking'
you've developed a habit
for making foolish things
seem perfectly balanced
and you don't even know yourself
you the fool!
Behind that perfect smile
the hunger won't subside
The jaw stays open wide
Don't play me,
your not so young, so hip
Way down in your bones baby
It's written in blood
So light the candles
And beat on the drums
No matter what you try to sell me
They're never gonna give
Because the combat zone they're living on
Fuck, it ain't no way to live
Won't have to see you again
Bulldozer down your home
Won't have to see you disappearing
When you're gone
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
You're outta your mind baby
You're outta mind
Should have you locked up
Until the end of time
No matter what you try to tell me
What you try to say
Had to abandon all your moral codes
'Cause they just get in the way
Who you are and who you know
Where you come from to where you go
Moments that take your breath away...
Got your Head
Back to fron
Lack of talent
Sell out cunt
should we debate significance
or would it leave us too small
'cause it could take some time to linger
-pushing us to a fall
pausing to initiate
around and around
in trance we heard a dirty word
in dance we scream the sound
let the selfish become selfless
ok, it's a start
worlds in worlds
not you at its heart
please could you just slow dowm
please just slow it dowm
i'm going to fast
i'm not built to last
around and around
screwtop
it's the end of an age my friend
the end of an age
the struggle of millions pull - push back
twist and tiptoe
don't fall through a crack
once you heard the lie of life
theres no coming back
screwtop
twist, twist, twist
from the head to the hand
from a palm to a fist
crawl, crawl without all
so we twist
gonna take it all apart
gonna take this piece away from me
your level-headed theories
your hot headed cries
head to toe
right me wrong
but just don't say no
wind me up
i'll be ready to go
but then who's face
yours of mine
gonna rip this fucker out
i'm gonna tear this piece away from me
No it's funeral time again
One last time with all your friends
Feeling fragile, feeling love
Feeling none of the above
Throwing water down the well
Can be heaven, can be hell
I feel stupid, I feel love
I'm feeling none of the above
And now we'll never understand
What are you still doing here?
Your stability offers no comfort to me. It don't fill me up
Process what's going through my head
What I've done and what I've said. It won't help me out
Ever thought that by expanding your own mind
Instead of putting me through your own design
You might start learning
Why so many of us feel we don't belong,
So unreal in what you built here,
'cause what you built here
'cause what you built here...
Don't fill me up
Don't help me out
I can't feel my feet on the ground
Feel the edge of a new sensation
Life with you it's so complicated
Won't you let me find my own way
'cause what we've got happening here
Ain't nothing bad, ain't nothing you should fear
It's a celebration
'cause I learn from what you learn
But I burn for what you burn
And I think it's time we let the past lie 'cause the
future is what I earn't
Pass this world on before the sun goes down
There's untapped beauty to be found
This time is my time
And that fills me up
And now I found
I can feel my feet on the ground
So lift your head up to the golden future
Strong weaken as time deserts the past
And in truth we give so that our souls can live
Stand up or move down
But I will not live and die with out a sound
'Cause the time is right
Got too much hate and emptiness inside
Sunset, sunrise
See the world changing right before you eyes
Go with it. It's a ride
You gotta live for everyday until you die
I'm giving up what holds me down
I'm gonna burn it to the ground
And everything left hanging round
I'm gonna burn it to the ground
I will start over
Start again tonight
Well I know what's right
But it's getting hard to face the world in the dark times
But I stick with it because I'm alive
No time like the first time
Guess it's a go
Bite down
Before it all goes up in smoke
When you don't know
How it's gonna feel
When it finally hits all too real
Theres no time like the first time
That's no Joke
Don't want to talk about it
No need to think about it
Just step up to the edge
Then move on
Because you get nowhere
With that caution flashing in your head
Toss and turn
It got you wrapped up safely in bed
If you dont know how its gonna feel
You got a life with truth thats concealed
Take a dive into the unknown
i only said those things
so you couldn't put it back on me
what's said is said
but i never lied
and the harder i try
the harder it gets to remember the path
that led me to this place
there seems to be no way out of here
i only wanted to protect myself
from meaning and cause
but you can only try
to lift yourself out of the gutter so long
your form surrounds me
i'm left alone, an empty space
but at least it's my place
and the end result is a world
that never cared for the likes of different ideas
i had security
now it's gone
can't take the pressure and I don't blame youth
the blame's on you and it stands forever
open your tired eyes
it could make a difference
you can't wonder why
we're in need of assistance
open your tired eyes
it could make a difference at least just try
One more year where it just keeps you guessing
I can't forget any valuable lessons
We were all the way out, trying to find a way home.
But you can't forget when you know what you're missing
You can't forgive when you don't even listen
Talking about all the guts and the glory with you.
It's the same old deal what your eyes have been saying
I can't get by all the joy and the pain
We were all the way out, trying to find a way home.
But you can't forget when you know what you're missing
You can't forgive all the time
We were talking about all the guts and the glory
And seeing things out 'til the end of the story
Talking about all the guts and the glory with you.
All the fables that you know
Light 'em up and watch 'em blow
So forget what you been told
Evolution's calling
Bury the truth and bury it well
Empty shell
Explode
Empty shell
It's starting to show
All the damage that you sow
Is coming back so watch it grow
When you think you have it all
Evolution calling
Show me the secrets that you never tell
Hell is raining down upon you
Wait for the sky to fall
And life goes grinding on
