Everyone Is Lying

I'm so tired of crying
When every day the world it breaks a little more
I'm so tired of hiding
All my thoughts that live in ice and never thaw
And I don't know what I should fear
When so much is so unclear
Everyone is lying
Everyone is lying
Guess it's true what they say
I've felt this way before
Another sense of dread reveals another war
Have we created something
That we can never stop or pretend we never saw
And all the monsters under the bed
Must be real cos it's something I read
Everyone is lying
Everyone is lying
Guess it's true what they say
Everyone is lying
Everyone is lying
Guess it's true what they say
Don't blame me if my words hurt you
Who's asking you to tell me how I shouldn't live
Don't blame me if my heart scares you
It's the only version of the truth I have to give
And it's plain as the back of your hand
And it's so easy to understand
Everyone is lying
Everyone is lying
Everyone is lying
Everyone is lying
Guess it's true what they say

Tears Me Away

I've seen your face before
It's knocking at the door
In my memory
There's nothing left to see
It's ancient history
Floating endlessly
I've seen your face before
It's knocking at the door
In my memory
There's nothing left to see
It's ancient history
And it tears me away from myself
There's something in your eyes
I never realised
You are not there
A lonely point of view
An empty room shot through
Another nightmare
There's something in your eyes
I never realised
You are not there
A lonely point of view
An empty room shot through
And it tears me away from myself
For a little while I recall a smile
Now it's all coming back to me
For a little while
I've seen your face before
It's knocking at the door
In my memory
There's nothing left to see
It's ancient history
Floating endlessly
There's something in your eyes
I never realised
You are not there
A lonely point of view
An empty room shot through
And it tears me away from myself
And it tears me away from myself

All Atomic Smiles

The sun's too hot today for a party
But on the horizon there is just one cloud
By the poolside it's like a thousand suns
We are not so safe but we are so proud
This is not a party
When was the world so young
How did we get it so wrong
In 50's Vegas town we are become death
In this desert we will freeze our souls
This party never ends it's only just begun
A fun day out for all the young and old
This is not a party
When was the world so young
How did we get it so wrong
I've seen a show, a show like no other one
I've seen the truth turn into a lie
I've seen a miracle but in my darkest dreams
I burn in the sky
This is not a party
A world undone, what have we become
I've got a question for you deluded ones
Sipping your drinks while the desert burns
Is this a history we keep repeating
But we never learn
This is not a party, this is not a party
It's such a happy day we're all atomic smiles
But it's all over now the monster's roared
The party's over, a sad victory
Somehow falling on our own sword
This is not a party
When was the world so young
How did we get it so wrong

Time To Burn
06:35
|
|||
|
Looking for a sign inside a dream that you hold onto
Spending all the time you have left on what makes you whole
You do what you can while you can
Time to burn, everything
Time to burn, what you don't need
Seems like you never find a way to close the door when you know you should
The ghosts of the past somehow always find a way to blow out the good
You never can show when you're weak
Time to burn, everything
Time to burn, what you don't need
Time to burn, everything you don't feel
You do what you can while you can
You think when the flames have all gone and died that the fire won't burn again
Whenever someone puts you up on the cross it just makes you strong, stong, stronger
No-one can know when you're weak
Time to burn, everything
Time to burn, what you don't need
Time to burn, everything you don't feel

Wakey, Wakey

All you heroes who don't fear chaos
Wonder how you would cope with the real thing
When a patient predator waits for you
Will you act like you're still the king
All I want, all I want, it's all I want, it's all I want
All I want, all I want
When you keep on doing the same thing
And expecting a different response
Is sanity something you are afraid of
Because you're losing it all at once
All I want, all I want, it's all I want, it's all I want
All I want, all I want
It's here and it's now
Wakey, wakey it's coming for you
It's here and it's now
And the face that you wear when you lie to me
Is the face that I've always seen
Reflected back in a blur of distortion
You don't even believe what you mean
All I want, all I want, it's all I want, it's all I want
All I want, all I want
It's here and it's now
Wakey, wakey it's coming for you
It's here and it's now
When you're holding yourself to ransom
And you're holding your hand in the flame
Don't be a martyr when there are no answers
Because the questions are always the same
All I want, all I want, it's all I want, it's all I want
All I want, all I want
It's here and it's now
Wakey, wakey it's coming for you
It's here and it's now

Ride The Expectation
07:32
|
|||
|
What's the secret, what's the sound
In every breath a spell unbound
It's all pervading, it's too intense
It's almost nothing, it makes no sense
Do you know, how to feel it
How to use it, how to be it
Can you take it, in the moment
Can you see it, become apparent
Can you stay, here forever
Whenever is, whenever's better
Forever is, never knowing
Never seeing, what is coming
You know the boundaries all too well
And all the battles you lived to tell
You know the demons you will meet
And all the conversations you need
We live to find out more, we know the implication
We fight another war, we don’t anticipate
We live a thousand years
We ride the expectation
We ride the expectation
How is this not every second
Not every hour, not one is reckoned
A single silence, a hollow roar
An empty space, an open door
You know the separation that you feel
And you hope that it will heal
You know how far that you can fall
And how the writing’s on the wall
We live to find out more, we know the implication
We fight another war, we don’t anticipate
We live a thousand years
We ride the expectation
We ride the expectation
Is there nothing, more than this
Now you see it, for what it is
It's never ending, it's always here
It's never far, but never near
It's never far, it's never near
It's never far, it's never near
You know the boundaries all too well
