I can't breathe Can't look past these streets Been stuck in this storm for years It's a million miles away A million miles And I can't breathe It's a million miles away A million miles And I can't sleep Anymore

They try to mask the truth With seductive commodity But the well has run dry And the red tape's come undone Their new slogan is super catchy Our house is on fire La La La La La Our house is on fire So give me the run around!
3.
Fly away from here Before they clip your wings Been chasing trails of smoke Jumping in and out of black holes If you need me it's too late So don't bother looking If you need me don't bother I'm already miles away Every day it's easy to forget So easy to forget It's easy to forget Running circles on this rollercoaster Get me off this rollercoaster Every day it's easy to forget So easy to forget It's easy to forget

This mask is old tired and worn Think I'll throw it away What lies beyond trapdoors In dark alleyways Is never as frightening as the world you create Am I really here If I can't feel a thing? Vanquished in dreams Or am I just scared? It's time to pull down the shades Time to turn a new page So call reinforcement Call in the brigade Am I really here If I can't feel a thing? Falling between cracks Hanging on by a string Vanquished in dreams Or am I just scared?

She says "I didn't mean to wear your fragile peace of mind" No care... "We'll spend our days off in a quiet house by the sky" She says "I didn't mean to contradict your alibi" No care... "We'll watch ourselves drop one by one in modern style" I waited for the world's worst symphony In modern style In modern style In style I waited for the world's worst symphony credits

Blind is the infant Crawling out your womb Color fails to mesmerize Thrown to the lions While they march in your parade A toast to the martyr Self proclaimed thief You caught me by surprise Don't wanna be there When they're calling out my name I've had enough of everyone Under attack The walls have collapsed And you can't move Self proclaimed thief You caught me by surprise

Crash & Burn 03:40
We're campaigning for a better cause We'll carry you through Carry you through Like monkeys on a carousel We don't care if you Care if you Crash & Burn System failure signals on The show's about to start Sit back and watch A bumper crop of weasels Draped and camouflaged As your God Crash & Burn I tried to tell you Over & over I've seen it happen Over & over We don't care if you Crash & Burn
8.
When you need her You understand why But words don't reach her As she escapes into the night Like waterfalls Of see-through faces on the evening news They always look so sad The two of us Hand in hand through time Can never tell us who we are I'm tired Stupid and tired Stupid and tired She sees the world Through the window of an unsound mind Light years away... I'm tired Stupid and tired Stupid and tired When you need her You understand why (Time won't tell us who we are)
9.
Picture yourself free of orbit Long before discovery And the mad fiends that pulled you out On the eve of our great king's Fall towards recovery Will the voices in your head drown? Still this flame keeps burning A hole through the heart of man There's a cold wind that blows through town It cuts up the past In tiny waves of noise The curtains are drawn It's time for a new voice So leave tonight Before this blood red sky spits fire We're here tonight To watch as it unfolds
10.
Tumbled through a wormhole Tried to dig my way out But I fell deeper Into a dark forest Where strange noises envelope Trees with branches like mechanical arms Mechanical arms that carry me off Moon child I can't make it home tonight My ship is lost at sea Yeah, I'm still here I'm still here, I'm still here Well I'm still here Like it never fuckin' happened No, it never fuckin' happened Moon child I can't make it home tonight My ship is lost at sea He did it all for nothing Wouldn't let it go And no one blinked an eye The day he fell off the face of the world Moon child I can't make it home tonight My ship is lost at sea Moon child To be in your arms tonight Is a gift I'll only know in dreams

The magic she's in for Sleeps on cloudy skies With butterflies and violins A tragic symphony The magic she's in for Lives in dreamy eyes Sweet messages through mountains Call waterfalls The magic she's in for Swims in black lagoons With paper bag mermaids On wasted afternoons The magic she's in for Is a shooting star (You'll always be remembered) (You'll always be loved)
