Gotcha!
02:21
|
|||
|
you start the fire
I’m the one who puts it out
you’ve got kerosene
it’s dripping from your mouth
don’t know what happened
say you never keep the score
but I know better, babe
cause I’ve been here before
you always come in
from the wrong side of the tracks
you always leave and say
you’re never coming back
eight arms to hold you
but you can’t sit still
It you’re so tired
why do you need a sleeping pill?
I gotcha!
I gotcha!
I got you down
like the letters on a page
you play your part
always the best one on the stage
I know your tell
I can see it in your eyes
I know your web
and you won’t tie me up this time, no!
I saw it coming
from a million miles away
you hold your tongue
cause you’ve got nothing good to say
the fix is in, they sold you out for their next meal
the snake is deadly
until it’s beneath my heel, love
nothing to do but sit and realize
there’s no place to go from here
so I close my eyes
and wait for the endless night
to swallow me whole
say goodnight
it’s been real but I gotta go
I gotcha!
I gotcha!
I gotcha!
I gotcha!

Big Gun
03:17
|
|||
|
I see you standing taller
than the rest of us
you got your megaphone hanging on
rose colored glasses
everything you see
the groveling masses
you need the world to agree
with what you believe
in order not to feel alone
well, pardon me for being bored
it’s just I’ve heard this shit before
big man, big mouth, big gun
big god, big truck
you got a lot of big things, big boy
but none of it is love
big hand on a big stick
big brother with a dirty trick
I’m not impressed, no
I couldn’t care less
for your insecure
little man big bullshit
it’s the land of the free
where everyone’s afraid
of the terror at their door
so let’s call the world police
they’ll do what’s right, I’m sure
we keep feeding our children
war and peace
while the food and medicine are poison
but if the way to peace is war
why has it never fucking worked before?
big man, big mouth, big gun
big god, cheap fuck
you got a lot of big things, big boy
but none of it is love
big hand on a big stick
big brother with a dirty trick
I’m not impressed, no
I couldn’t care less
for your insecure
little man big bullshit

Millions of Stars
04:20
|

|
I wanted to come clean with you
to get it off my chest
I wanted to tell you the truth
it’s not your fault I am this way
that I’m made of broken things
it’s not your fault I don’t know what to say
millions of stars out in the dark
they’re spinning around my head
made promises to god instead
is this what I’ve been running from
a collapsing black hole
don’t tell me this is what I have become
just orbiting in empty space
and lost in a dream
waiting for the sun to burn away
millions of stars out in the dark
they’re spinning around my head
break promises to god instead
of catching a spark out in the dark
radio playing in my head
I sleep the sleep of the lonely damned
millions of stars out in the dark
they’re spinning around my head
you made promises inside my bed
catching a spark out in the dark
Merry go round inside my head
come and spin me around
the night is endless
the night is endless
hey, the night is endless

Going Supernova
03:18
|
|||
|
I was born and I started to feel it
I never read the book
and no one taught me the meaning
I know the heart can take a hell of a beating
if you open your eyes
open your eyes you open your eyes
she’s just a girl but she’ll level the building
with a look in her eye
she is unaware she’s killing me
I’m like an hourglass and low all the time
she is the sun going down on the planet
make me a star in the sky
light years away from the fight
I’m burning out like a supernova
never looking back
so they’ll say that they told us
make me a star in the sky
I’m not opposed to your evolution
or what you’ve got hiding
under every solution
pretty girls with their pretty little mouths
I’m giving in if this is solar pollution, babe
make me a star in the sky
light years away from the fight
I’m burning out like a supernova
never looking back
so they’ll say that they told us
make me a star in the sky
I bite my tongue and she’s looking at me
like we’re on our own island
as the end of the sea and she
erases albums like she doesn’t give a fuck
I’m going supernova
on the sand of her beaches
make me a star in the sky
light years away from the fight
I’m burning out like a supernova
never looking back
so they’ll say that they told us
make me a star in the sky
make me a star in the sky
make me a star in the sky

Wolves
03:07
|

|
under the cover of the night
give me the shadows I don’t want the light
I want to be the magazine
in a loaded gun with the trigger released
I want to fly
I what to be a star in the sky
the wolves are out for the feeding
between the bars where the honey is sweetest
how’d you feel if it all went to pieces, love?
would you feel nothing at all?
there’s nothing left for us to say
when words only fail us anyway
so go on enjoy getting wasted
all the vampires who wanted to taste it
are out in the night
she laughs and he just smiles
the wolves are out for the feeding
between the bars where the honey is sweetest
where did you go when you know I needed you, love?
how does it feel to them drink your blood?
do you feel nothing at all?
I want to sleep without all the shaking
life was a dream but now I’m waking up
to find we’re all out of time
we’re all out of time
the wolves are out for the feeding
between the bars where the honey is sweetest
you’re gonna live forever ain’t that right?
the wolves are out for the feeding
it’s in my head like an echo repeating
how did you feel when it all went to pieces? Numb?
how does it feel to them drink your blood?
do you feel nothing at all?
do you feel nothing at all?

Hack the Planet
04:13
|
|||
|
somewhere above the world in a plane
looking glass stares
at machines long gone insane
falling all around me
snow white and confetti fall
a cannon blast of applause
for the golden ones
hack the planet
give me another way out
give me another way
barely hanging on beneath the storm
panic attacks become the norm
in turbulence or a sea of calm
will you paint me up like mercurochrome
I’m out of ways to give a fuck
I’m out of time
I’m out of luck
hack the planet
give me another way out
hack the planet
give me another way out
hack the planet
I want another way out
give me another way
another way, hey
give me another way
give me another way
give me another way out
give me another way out

Lost My Mind
04:00
|
|||
|
we were kids running through the wind
not a care in the world
unaware of the wolves outside
just a boy and a little girl
hey, it’s a cause for concern when the fire goes out
but hey, we got nothing but time
we can turn this around
you say you’re alone
with nowhere to go
why don’t you come back
to my heart again?
cause it’s getting cold
and the night’s getting older
the sun may explode
but it hasn’t yet
have I lost my mind
have I lost my goddamn mind?
my mistakes weren’t made in vain
like the daisy chain on your neck
wounds heal but the scars will remain
so I will never forget
hey, there’s a lot we can learn
when the fire goes out
and hey, maybe we’ll get it right
the next time around
you say you’re alone
with nowhere to go
I wish you’d come back
to my heart again
cause it’s getting cold
and the world’s getting older
the sun may explode
but it hasn’t yet
have I lost my mind
have I lost my goddamn mind?

Dream Eater
03:52

pull off another bottle from the shelf
cause there ain’t nothing I can give you, babe
that you can’t get for yourself
amazed it took this long
to figure out what’s right and wrong
and that’s why I’m here singing this song
to get us all off
get us out of this sinking ship
take my hand, love
tell me what you were thinking of
all of those nights
watching the stars burn out in the sky
now they’re all coming for us
dream eater
pull off another con job make it a testimony
to how far you’re willing to go
to fleece the faithful
and take all you can get
the fix is in, you fuck
you straight ran out of luck
no one left for you to pass the buck
so get the fuck out
we don’t want anymore of your shit
take my hand, love
tell me what you were thinking of
all of those nights
watching the stars burn out in the sky
now they’re all burning for us
dream eaters
tried so hard to find
by pressing on your skin
still looking for a sign
to find my way back in
take my hand, love
tell me what you were thinking of
all of those nights
watching the stars burn out in the sky
now they’re all burning for us
now they’re all burning for us
dream eaters

Rubber Ball
02:15
|
|||
|
when I was a little kid
I used to hear a voice in my head
it took too many years
to realize there was no one there
no one come to save me
come and save me from myself
gotta pick up the pieces
and put together whatever’s left
I am a rubber ball
I will bounce off the world and
I may not come down at all
cause I am a rubber ball
thought I heard a glass shatter
in a room at the top of the stairs
maybe its just the Mad Hatter
having tea with the March Hare
saying eat me, drink me
whats wrong with a little blood?
someone call up the Red Queen
how can you sleep before the flood?
tell us where you’ve been
where do you come from
and tell use how you got
so far away from home
and whats the difference when
the whole world’s gone mad?
I am a rubber ball
I will bounce off the world and
I may not come down at all
cause I am a rubber ball
I am a rubber ball
I will bounce off the world and
I may not come down at all
cause I am a rubber ball

Suffocate
03:49
|
|||
|
we’re buried underneath
a mountain of fear
so come clean and tell me
what you want me to hear
there’s no stone in my hand
or hate on my breath
you say it’s over
but you’ve fucking lied all your life
The hound of god
like a key inside a lock
has come to dig us out
I guess he got lost
the black gate opens
to let the cold iniIf we’re going under
wave goodbye
how does it feel to go down now?
proud?
you suffocate
come clean and tell me…
come clean and tell me…

The Darkness
04:16
|
|||
|
I hear a voice inside my head saying goodbye
I’m under the covers playing dead till it’s alright
to show my face this hurricane, it knows me well
enough to captivate and keep me underneath this spell
spent an hour on the ledge
spinning out here on the edge
the high up you are the less you’ll see the end
of all the darkness creeping in
I’m onto the next and maybe then I’ll go outside
enough of lying in this bed without the light
you can’t erase what came before
though you can try to undo all that you’ve become
Wish for another life
spent an hour on the ledge
spinning out here on the edge
the high up you are the less you’ll see the end
of all the darkness creeping in
all the darkness creeping in
all the darkness creeping in
all the darkness creeping in
all the darkness creeping in
