TWISTED SURGERY
Well it's hard, you know,
To make a name,
When you can't even make a sound
But when trying to believe in
The words you've been stealing
It's harder not to toss it around
So let's count to three,
Just you and me,
We'll give this game another round
Just one more chance chance to bring me to your knees
Another shot to take you down
And when the surgeon cuts you open
Your lies will paint the walls and stick between the tiles
and when you find your heart's been broken
You'll know that nothing lasts forever in this life
Nor in the other
It ain't hard, you know,
Ain't hard to believe
It's harder not to take me for real
But I won't be the priest to hold you by the wrist
And tell you how to feel
Cause when the surgeon cuts you open
Your lies will paint the walls and stick between the tiles
and when you find your heart's been broken
You'll know that nothing lasts forever in this life
Nor in the other
And when the surgeon cuts you open
Your lies will paint the walls and stick between the tiles
and when you find your heart's been broken
You'll know that nothing lasts forever in this life
Nor in the other

ATLAS
Hello,
I'm coming up to you
This city is falling down
And all that's left are broken dreamers
And haunted souls
But don't,
Don't even try to run
'Cause you you were born to make
This place your home and after all
It will be your tomb
So would you kindly believe me now?
And in return I could help you out
And let you go
And so if you ever try to leave
Don't you forget you belong to me
All along
All alone,
It's 21 to 1
But you can't save them all
And if you could it wouldn't matter
'Cause you'll be gone
All gone
So would you kindly believe me now?
And in return I could help you out
And let you go
And so if you ever try to leave
Don't you forget you belong to me
All along
All alone

LET IT FLOW
Love, welcome to the real world,
Come in to the daydream store,
Buy yourself a brand new goal
Then pack your stuff and prepare to go
Love, I'll burn you 'til you're dust and coal,
I'll crush you to your diamond form,
I'll take you where the lights are low,
Cause that's the only place where you will glow
Now I'm waiting for an answer
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Show me a reaction
Show me what you have in mind
And I'll make it flow
When you're burning away
And you can't hold your breath
(Well, that's all you got
and that's all you'll get)
One day this empty room
Will be full of shame
(All by yourself)
And you won't get any chances
You won't get any time
You'll only be another ghost
But deep inside your bones
I know there's something more
So just let it flow
Love, welcome to the real world,
Come in to the daydream store,

And I'm waiting for an answer

You won't get any time
You'll only be another ghost
But deep inside your bones
I know there's something more
So just let it flow
You always wanted more,
You always needed fire,
But if you asked me to,
I'd give what you desire
When you're burning away
And you can't hold your breath
(Well, that's all you got
and that's all you'll get)
One day this empty room
Will be full of shame
(All by yourself)
And you won't get any chances
You won't get any time

GLUE
Well, is it true what they say about you?
That you're waiting for somebody
To give your breath to,
Your smile won't let me through,
But your eyes are telling me
You're on the mood for some fun,
With someone
And in this boiling room
Your sweat and moaning are the glue
That ties the pieces of my broken mind
Well, is it true what they say about you?
That you're waiting for the morning
To light up the truth
Your thighs won’t let me move
But your eyes are pushing me further from you
And say 1, 2, 3, 4,
Burn it all down
And in this boiling room
Your sweat and moaning are the glue
That ties the pieces of my broken mind
And don't you want me too?
Oh, don't you love it like I do
The way we sway when I’m glued to you
Twist the tongue
Make it rain
Break the heart
Toss the brain
But never let go
Well, is it true what they say about you?
That you're waiting for somebody
To give your breath to,
Your smile won't let me through,
But your eyes are telling me
We’re on the loose
And in this boiling room
Your sweat and moaning are the glue
That ties the pieces of my broken mind
And don't you want me too?
Oh, don't you love it like I do
The way we sway when I’m glued to you
And in this boiling room
I’m giving up to you
And in this boiling room...

MY WINGS OF WAX
It's 9 o'clock in the morning light, so bright,
And the sound of the city
Is pumping my feelings
And takes myself side to side
Well, here's your ticket, now go and wait in line
For the show to commence
So stand up and dance
To the beat that relieves your mind
But makes no sense
I'm flying out of space and time
I'm holding on to a chain reaction
Aiming for the sky
So look at me and say goodbye
I'm full of life, I'm out of control
So catch me if you can
It's 9 o'clock in the moaning night, no light,
And the sound of the city
Is dying by the minute
And the clock has seen better times.
So push me back or pull me out, no doubt,
The rain's getting heavy
The people keep staring
The silence is getting loud
I'm running out of space and time
I'm caught up in a chain reaction
That took me way too high
So look at me and wave goodbye
I'm full of shit, I'm out of control
So I won't even try
No more
A bird is meant to fly
Out into the sky
So fly free or fly high

NATURE GOT ME BAD
I found a winding path
That led me into the dark,
And there I found your fire,
And I became a spark
Dancing through your flames,
Forgetting all my names
And realising that I just got lost
'Cause I don't want the light that shines on you,
But shame's on me this time,
I'm drowning in the vacuum of your eyes
And I don't want your melodies
And I don't need your music in my mind,
But it just keeps dragging me inside
Oh my...
Spring time is in bloom,
There's music in the room,
Everyone's come to feast,
So here's to my own doom
I need a passage back,
I wanna fade to black,
I need to vanish, baby,
But nature got me bad
And I don't want the light that shines on you,
But shame's on me this time,
I'm drowning in the vacuum of your eyes
And I don't want your melodies
And I don't need your music in my mind,
But it just keeps dragging me inside
Oh my...

INDIANS
Indians singing songs of plastic, echoing through the night,
But they don’t know their meaning
And they don’t care to find
And they all seem to smile while I try hold a cry
I swim in a sea of liars
But the tides won’t sink my lifeboat tonight
People, come gather around, today we present
Faces, phrases and gimmicks you will not forget
Drugs, strong words and violence that you can digest
Anthems, symbols and banners so you can protest
While having so much fun
Indians dancing round the fire, burning through my veins,
But they can’t feel the heat
And they will freeze to death
And all the skins they wear won’t help them when the winter comes,
Cause life grows from the inside
And not from worn out clothes
Close your eyes, lower your voice,
And try to tell the music from the noise
As if you had a choice
People, come gather around, today we present
Faces, phrases and gimmicks you will not forget
Drugs, strong words and violence that you can digest
Anthems, symbols and banners so you can protest
While having so much fun
Trade an ear for an eye
So you can see what is like
To be brought up under a light
and never shine
People, come gather around, today we present
Faces, phrases and gimmicks you will not forget
Drugs, strong words and violence that you can digest
Anthems, symbols and banners so you can protest

NO STATIONS
Well I, I've been trying to find a way to break myself out of this dream
So it can burn itself right down
But now, now I'm gliding through the skies
Heart in hand and eye to eye
I won't even say goodbye
I guess it's time for my crooked mind break some walls
But ever since I saw the other side I'm feeling bold
And sometimes never means forever
And sometimes love takes a lot less time
To cross the line
And you and I don't need no station
This train is far too fast to make a stop
Or make it back
Well, you,
You're the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
I was buried beneath the gloom
But now I'm free
And all the places I remember are just flashes from my screen
broadcasting you to me
Cause sometimes never means forever
And sometimes love takes a lot less time
To cross the line
And you and I don't need no station
This train is far too fast to make a stop
Or make it back
And sometimes never means forever
And sometimes love takes a lot less time
To cross the line
And you and I don't need no station
This train is far too fast to make a stop
Or make it back

TRUTH HURST LIKE A BROKEN BONE
I’ve got a ball of lead in my pocket
I’ve got my memories in my bullet holes
I’ve got my whole life in my suitcase
And I just recall your voice asking
“My love, my love,
Where’re you gonna go when I say no?”
I’ll go where our buried past won’t be unfold
So pick the phone
Unleash the truth
That hurts like a broken bone
You better let it go
But don’t you wish we were about to blow
So hold me close by the tongue
Expose the wound
That bleeds like a broken lie
You better let it die
But don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry
Sometimes I wonder what is like
To hide behind the time
And sometimes I wonder how you manage
To live just with denial
It’s easier when you give up the fight
So pick the phone
Unleash the truth
That hurts like a broken bone
You better let it go
But don’t you wish we were about to blow
So hold me close by the tongue
Expose the wound
That bleeds like a broken lie
You better let it die
But don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry
Don’t you cry...
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry
So pick the phone
Unleash the truth
That hurts like a broken bone
You better let it go
But don’t you wish we were about to blow
So hold me close by the tongue
Expose the wound
That bleeds like a broken lie
You better let it die
But don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry
Don’t you cry...
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry

SOUL CONTROL
Set the rains
For my incineration
Cause when I go
My body will remain
So hold me close
And give me a new direction
For when go
My eyes won’t close the same
So give me fire and give me soul
And I will take control
And when the flames turn to back ashes
The world will be my home
So give me fire and give me soul
And I will take control
Cause when my light turns back darkness
My rind will still be full
Set the rains
For my incineration
Cause when I go
My body will remain
So hold me close
And give me a new direction
For when go
My eyes won’t close the same
(But I will open as always)
So give me fire and give me soul
And I will take control
And when the flames turn to back ashes
The world will be my home
So give me fire and give me soul
And I will take control
Cause when my light turns back darkness
My rind will still be full
