I'm high
Above the world
Why should I feel pain?
Or feel alone?

To be protected like
A simple boy
If I choose to let you down
Begin to know

You're free to go
You're free to go

I will fight 'til there's nothing left
Watch the world together from this sinking ship
Or drown alone
Here

Off the coast, facing nothingness
Drawn to feel the emptiness
Oh, help me now
Describe the scene

You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
(I won't leave you, you're not O.K.)
You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
(I won't leave you you're not O.K.)

You're free to go
You're free to go

Simple boy
Stay here
Simple boy
Don't wander
Simple boy
You're safe here
Simple boy
Simple boy

When did we lose the plot?
We're running against the clock, don't hesitate
Or you
Wll never know

You're free to go, simple boy
(We'll face these things some other day)
(I won't leave you, you're not O.K.)
You're free to go, don't wander
(We'll face these things some other day)
(I won't leave you you're not O.K.)

You're free to go, simple boy
You're free to go, you're safe here
You're free to go

My simple boy
My simple boy
My simple boy
My simple boy

I'm onto you
I've seen your ways
Show yourself
Better the ones you make believe

All I hear
Is the sound of sleep
Deafening
Comfort in the arms of sweet dreams

Now, this won't take long
We'll rise up again
And rewrite these wrongs

I won't do it
I've rushed you
Patiently
Guarding the life that you deceived

I've crawled for you
Or so they say
We rise to it
Fall again into the same dream

You won't have to wait long
They'll show up again
Make way for the fall

Wake up
There's blood in your sweat when you wake up
Cower, bloodsucking liar
Who you gonna call when you wake up?

See now
What you gonna see when you wake up?
Beg, you little fucking liar
Your head on this chopping board

If this is entertaining
I hope you all enjoy the view

Wide awake
But still asleep
I'm failing this riddle in my head, I
I'm failing to get it
Can you say?
Honestly?
Wide awake
But still asleep

Don't leave this too long
(It won't take long)
Tomorrow will come
(Hang around)
You won't have to wait long
(We'll rise up again)
It's your day in the sun

They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again

Please wake up
Please wake up

How did they find me?
How did they know?
This misconception of fate
I'm about to let go

Awake in a new light
I'm alone in this room
Heavy at heart, it may be a lie
You will not see me

It's a new day
(Why did they follow me home)
It's a new day
One more step
It's here waiting for you
Now go slow, take your time

Leave no mark
You lost your way
I hope you're watching me
One more step
It's here waiting for you
Now go slow take your time

Celebrating for the one so free
You lost your way
No one held you back from me

How do you all speak
With a lying tongue?
How do we all sleep
With a dying sun?

Sit down lighten your load
This storm is coming
You should stay home
But I feel warm

Hey let's get lost in the crowd
While searching for something worth holding
Hey let's get
Still lost in the crowd

I'll show you so much more
Much more, so much more
So much more
Are we waiting? For the savior?
Someone to heal this or erase us

How did they find me?
How did they know?
This misconception of fate
I'm about to let go

Awake in a new light
I'm alone in this room
Heavy at heart, it may be a lie
You will not see me

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

Are we waiting? For the savior?
I'm so sick of waiting
I've been waiting my whole life

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

I don't know what's wrong but I'm on fire
It sears through my hands, leaving skin on the wire
Awake in this womb with a crown sting in my self
When I listen, the same cry plays on

We're slaves
In this medicated cage
Make a decision to face this - change
The rules, they don't explain
So why do we obey?

Politics, religion, your vision's the same
You played us, as both a cancer and a cure
Which reminds me that it's just a game
Your alibi - a sales pitch
Your pretty boy, pretty face dolled up again
A star for us to adore
And you, man, you've got to be more
'Cause this affects all

It's nice to know you're with us today
I've seen you in the fog along the way

I'll spit in the mouth of your god
Who whispers in the minds of our children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again

You swing this wrecking ball
A violent (howling???) pendulum
To hypnotise them all

The writing on the wall
That we keep missing
A structure built to fall
Still we all obey

It's nice to know you're with us today
I've seen you in the fog along the way

I'll spit in the mouth of your god
Who whispers in the minds of our children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again

There's no second chances here
There's no second chances here
There's no second chances here

Paint
Me in your own way
Color my eyes
See what feelings I hide

No-one knows why
No one can forgive
Second thought
Why do I care?

I'll hide from subtleties while
I try to face my kind
And you call this feeling
It's not enough
Come again another day
Now that my world feels at least
I'll follow you home

Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again

Safe
Well I don't feel so safe here
Imagine that everything's affected by a cause
In this game you call luck
(There's nowhere to go)
Well I don't feel so lucky, no
(Lie to yourself)
And just when I think I've worked it out
These pieces move and I'm back to the start

Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again

Hey
It's nothing that you'd understand
I promised you maybe
Always

Do you think it matters?
(Here I will stand)
Do you think at all?
(Here I will fall)
Do we complicate it?
(Organized recovery)
Do we know it all?
(I'll always go)

I don't want to
(Here I will stand)
I just have to
(Here I will fall)
I don't need it
(Organized recovery)
I just want it
(I'll always go)

And lay this troubled sinner
With a gun in your hand
Now you live for no-one
Knowing what you held in your arm

Wasted promise
Set in stone and blood
Hold your promise
Save your cheap remarks, just leave me here alone

This is my sense of reality
This is proof of my coming of age
This is truth in captivity
This is loosing a theology

I, I'm a soul taker
I'm a cruel-witted mind
This is my sense of reality
This is proof of my coming of age
I'm a soul taker
I'm a cruel-witted mind

Are you with me?
Are you of like mind?
Are you with me?
Are you of like mind?

Waking, falling, free of gravity
We just severed these umbilical wires
This is more than just affinity
We're moving further through an endless desire

I'm a soul taker
I'm a cruel-witted mind (mind, mind, mind...)

Do it again, I feel a breakdown
Let's go higher

This is the sound
Of your reason to wake
Have we forgotten now?
Can we relate?

It's backwards, it makes no sense
So real that we can't pretend
It's backwards, it makes no sense
It's harder to just pretend

Say it once more, say it again
Hey, is this the end of all I know?
Say it once more, say it again
Hey, is this the end of all I know?

Are you with me?
(Can we relate?)
Are you of like mind?
Are you with me?
(Can we relate?)
Are you of like mind?

Say it once more, say it again
Hey, is this the end of all I know?
Say it once more, say it again
Hey, is this the end of all I know?

De do de do, de do de do, de do de do, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
De do de do

See what I get when the medicine wears off
You're moving fast
Try a little see if I could make the moment last
You'll burn you'll light up like a star
You'll break this heart you hold

Ask a question
Are the answers loaded like this one?
You better pull yourself along
Time is precious and you must act
This isn't inevitable
I still stand
I won't get back in my cell
I will not let a saviour define my freedom
I'm going out now
No-one is gonna save us from this

We should have known better not to taste this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now we could mend, we will awake this snake and follow

Shatter the hourglass and what do you see
Memories like grains of sand are blowing away
Is this who you are? A product of fear
The shell of a man who lost his innocence

Hold your nerve
Keep your focus
There's something peculiar about the way you pay to save your soul
You forfeit your dream

Just let it go

We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now here we stand, we will embrace it or be defiant
For the moment, taken by these chemicals you can't control

Ask the question
Ask the question
Ask the question

We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now we could mend, we will embrace it or be defiant
Silent moment, induced by these chemicals you can't control

(Where's your God?
Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God?
Where's your God at? Alone)

(Where's your God?
Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God?
(Where's your God at? Alone)

Don't listen
Don't even hear a sound they make, it breaks you
Unspoken
Words that taunt you when you listen
Forgotten
Words that haunt you while you're sleeping

You seem afraid, don't be alarmed
It's only the face of things to come

Servant to the sun, we are beings, we become as one
Lighting every cell, every shape we will never form
And is it relevant?
Our fears, our faults
As foolish as it sounds

So lead us on (Only one way left)
Through the world of false promise
It's one thing to be forgiven (Only one way left)
Only you could learn how to let it go

So we are

Servant to the sun, let us see, we are still as one

Here lie my fault
I'd give up everything
To see what you see
And dream on

Why can't we dream on?

Don't listen
Don't even hear a sound they make, it breaks you
These words won't help
To save you

Servant to the sun, we are beings, we become as one
Lighting every cell, every shape we will never form

These words won't help
To save you

Servants of the sun, let us see, we are still as one

You seem afraid, don't be alarmed
It's only the face of things to come

Change of the tone
Changing my mind
Changing the weather

I feel it at first
Blow from the dark
Take it for better

Still I remind myself
How I define myself

Black of the bruise
Coming up clear
Bound to get better
Bless with a curse
Hoping I fall
Deeper the better
I needed
I needed to know
I needed
I needed to know why

Oh no, this can't be happening
Oh no, this can't be happening

Pain is a door
A fever burning for more
A red light in my mind that I feed on
You must've been so surprised to see
There you were starting back at me
Caught in a web now
Out on your own
You've got nothing to stay for
So you keep saying

This year it's coming
And guess what we're running from
Too late for running
The stitches are coming undone
Grab your belongings
The exit is near
Making your way through indecisiveness

I needed
I needed to know
I needed
I needed to know why

Oh no, this can't be happening
Oh no, this can't be happening

This man is methodised
You're colourblind in this madness
I'll bide all of my time for your love
Oh crooked man you'll die
Like excuses pouring out a child
Sing S.O.S. you saint
I'll make room for laughter
It all ends right here

This water's dark and cold
God's not where you hoped
His moment come and gone

It's too late, mayday
Call out mayday
While I'm still alive
Pain don't matter
I don't want this to end,
I don't want this to end,
I don't want this to end,
I don't think this will end well

Hey, there goes my love again
No one's coming now
Hey, I'm out on my own again
Fading faces, broken frowns
Hey, I guess I fucked up again
No one will find out
Hey, stare at your feet again
Don't say you don't know

This water's dark and cold
God's not where you hoped
His moment come and gone
It's time we all moved on
It's time we all moved on
It's time we all moved on
Away

Still I remind myself
How I define myself
Still I remind myself
(I needed to know)
How I define myself
(I needed to know)
I needed to know
I needed to know
I needed to know

Hello
Hollow halo
Hello
(Can you hear them say?)
Hollow halo
(Can you hear them calling?)

You'll never
You'll never leave this world alone
You'll never
You'll never leave this world alone, if I
Become a martyr to the stars
Become a model to the same
Side that I've been fighting, I'm
Still afraid to crawl
(No more pointing fingers at mistakes and I'm)
And though I know I'm not the same
(Here in our reflection)
I'm still afraid to watch

How do you suppose,
We can light the way to get us home?
What you thought it was lost, now found within
Feel this weight lift

No more pointing fingers at mistakes, and I'm
Here in our reflection

What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay this burden down
What a way to see this sorrow
What a way to see this one out

Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo

All this leads to nothing
Still this world won't wait
Complicated nothings
Still this world won't wait

What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay your burden down
What a way to see no tragedy
Hello, hollow halo

Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo
(Can you hear them say?)
Hello, hollow halo
(Can you hear them calling?)

(Can you hear them calling?)

"You can see all of this
And watch it before your eyes
And everything owes its existence
Solely and completely to sound
Sound is a factor of which holds it together
Sound is the basis of form and shape
Put that into the modern idiom
And say into the great voids of space
Came a sound, and matter took shape
Please watch carefully"

Sine waves and mirrors
The smoke that you inhale
Dry mouthing bitter tones
Better left unsaid

I know this will burn you
So I become the fire, these days will change us all

Don't you feel the same?
Don't we fear the same things?
Don't we feel the same?

Don't you fear at all?

Lay here
Maybe the damage has been done
As we float away like embers
Beneath us, the fire, still it burns
And I don't, I don't know why
Question who we are and then we die
I guess, I'll see you when it ends
I'll see you 'round the bend
My sober sorry friend

Don't you feel the same?
Don't we feel the same?
I'll see you when it ends
I'll see you 'round the bend
Don't you feel the same?
My sober sorry friend

When we collide
Some say goodbye
Some say their words
Leaving no resolve

There's a break in the wall
You can feel it
It's letting us all escape
So, people, tell me you need

The waking day
To fall asleep
Light your way
Find your place

In this
