Senses oh how could you fail us now
Check your heart still makes a hissing sound
It's just another name for sorcery
We still believe in what we never see
Our perception is but a camera trick
Authority a uniform
Another name for a second chance
You offer more
The sophomore

Gold mouth at full voice refuse this should be our choice
We take this lying down, take this lying

And it burns, it burns us all out
As it blows
Everyone into position

We love to lie and pretend that it's ok
We love to save all these words til another day
So don't think on your feet, cos you sink from your feet up.
Are you flirting with me?

Charm offensive, perma-pensive
Dream it all away
Some may kill you as you continue
To lie for us I pray

And it burns, it burns us all out
As it blows, blows, it blows everyone into position

Come into the opposition
Come into the opposition

So don't think on your feet, cos you sink from your feet up
Are you flirting with me?
But I'm rooting for you, I'm rooting for everyone

They've sold us out again and thrown us in the fire
They say we're all the same
Well, yeah... but we're not liars...

I patiently wait for my turn while you
Fill the gaps with a bold empathic love
Hey is it coming over you? Hey there
We should come together + wait on something new

And Christ Alive! Am I dilating my
Inhibitions soon dissipating
Can we afford to stay this way forever + forever AMEN

This release inside of me
Is like my heaven calling
Endless possibilities are my defences falling down

And all the while the strobing flicker
Of fireworks I'm peaking quicker
Than I ever have or ever will again

CUT TO PIECES
YOUR FRIEND IN JESUS
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
AND ALL'S FORGIVEN

Say one thing for sorrow
Say nothing for joy
It's a piss over our parade, the devices you employ
Say one thing for sorrow it never leaves me dry
As I beg steal + borrow there's no tears when I cry
But I try + try + try + try again
But I try and try and try and try again

But no, nothing can stop me, no, nothing at all
I'm the entrance and the exit, the clogging will make you stall
Now your conscience clear, is't how you've got so old?
It's in the way you'll never wake up; in the way you feel the cold...

Time is running out

Looks invent a felling in a meaningless exchange
It's a testament to perseverance
A homage to a shame
COVER YOUR MOUTH

Time is running out

Looks invent a felling in a meaningless exchange
It's a testament to perseverance
A homage to a shame
COVER YOUR MOUTH

Undone and reckless is your mind
It's up to you; trust or not trust alone
COVER YOUR MOUTH AND HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT
Oh that sacred substance I crave
Is just another privilege I wave
HOLD IT, HOLD IT, F-F-F-FUCKIN HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT

It's power I am drawn to
Its potency and flavour
Drives me and ignites me
Fuels a dirty secret

WHY CAN'T I JUST TELL?
WHY CAN'T I JUST TELL THE TRUTH??

Gravity gravity why oh why you try to fail me
Never you mind never you mind never you mind it's entertaining
Us for a while just for a while
Your crocodile smile now is fading
Maybe I lied maybe I lied maybe I lied but it's entertaining

Oh how I'd cut you to the bone
Oh how I'd cut you to the bone

This creeping and seething
I pour it on to make you grow
While I'm waiting for the lights to change
Your love that is weakening
A last embrace before you go
Are you waiting for the lights to change

Why try to fight why try to fight holding on tight but your hands are shaking
I'm pulling you down pulling you down from this dream you are never waking
What cannot see what cannot see what cannot see cannot try to lead me
I know my own mind and I'm not crazy...

And a piece of the pictures bitten right out of the middle
I'm alone and thinner I feel
Is this a prayer?
Anaesthetise me just til you return
I feel the loss like a squandered opportunity to whisper
You're all I ever needed

Shapes fall into place
For once in your life you make
A clean breakaway

And did you know that everything you touch is blessed and all the richer
For your love a better being
And if I display just a fraction of the soul you showed in this world
Then I know I'll see you again

Love so much to give
And too few to share it with
Wastes you away

The dream it comes again and again
You're here
It's you
I pull you close and
Hold you tight
Into the sky you go
You go
And I can't change it
I can't change it

In goodness wake I'll always say I do
That it's all for you
And tricks I'd turn would always shine right through
But it's all for you

Like a stream overflowing
Unpredictable
A new confidence like a new king
Like a breeze levitating
To raise a sunken soul
And to the surface shines like a new pin

What junkie says is not what junkie do
But it's all for you
And the tricks he turns will always shine right through
But it's all for you

Like a dream synchronising
With the one I missed the most
A concentrated love from a new queen
Like a wave stabilising
I walk a tighter rope
And my new victim shines like a new pin
I can feel lies within the
Gospels that I'm sold
The tactless sentiments are a new pain

But it's all for you

Goes it comes and goes
Although you try to hide it always shows
And I try never to pretend I know
You flick the safety catch and off we go

Shoot him down, shoot him down
Reap and sow the only thing you've left to show.

Is faith against your faith
That carves a look of love into your face
As if you are proud of this disgrace
Accelerate and charging through the days
You try not to listen anyway
Not this day
Regardless of the words I had to say
Reputation's not an alibi

(My time is your time. There won't be a later)

What do you see when you close your eyes
Like royalty or magic numbers or
Popular opinion just to prove that you are right
A sugarspoon feed in withdrawal
And still needing for more
I ask you why you try
The lights that guide you will burn and blind you

No tomorrow
No tomorrow

What cannot speak cannot lie
I beg for more patience but you're still wasting
I should not have to make apologies

Find a face
Put it on
Pretend there's no tomorrow

Numb numb and fearful friend
Can you hear me crying calling out your name
It's easy to apportion bucketloads of blame
When you're distant
When you're invisible of blame cos you're here
Blame cos you're here
Would've never thought that I'd be your defendant
I would be a criminal investigation
Needing to believe that faith could make a difference
Need to forget my name when you're here

I hope this pays you off

This criminal apathy's a sound that deafens all around
A happy tranquiliser for all
It's the clogging that is making us stall
A lie that still endears you millions of years
Will one day cause the gospel to fall
And don't you think it's time that you stopped?
Here's to song! To scream!
Believe, believe me the rest will come naturally
Rest will come naturally
When you've pissed your last and burned the
Candle fast, the rest will come naturally
End will come naturally
Don't you know...
That drop in all the ocean
Is a prayer for all
The world brings him down and shuffles him around
Not a care for all the world, stares at all the world
Cuts open his face there's not a drop to waste
We run him til his tiny heart pops
And don't you think it's time that we stopped?

All around and everywhere at once
A vacant care, why are you so concerned?
Why do you never learn to stop and look
Just wait for your point to be raised naturally
Truth will come naturally
Don't you know...

All those pretty things you've traded
Now you crave but your world is for more
Now you're missing them all
I'll be here...

Eyes stick and eyes still wander round aimlessly
All you fucking pigs you have crucified us
Crucified us
Don't you think it's time that you stopped?

Size the signs invisible
Trace the trail and follow you wherever you will lead me
To the hallow me and your spilling grief
To answer to a God who never answers you
Feathernest invest and gain
Shiny brass is milk and grain
And yours is to just sustain and chip away with haste
Treasure time and savor taste
And all the while you quietly crave and crave
The day is done
Time you've made has come and gone
Stay asleep now
Everyone into position
Everyone into their place
Grow to grow at snail's pace
Like carnivores at grace
Feed to feed and building face

Pay to play and find a place...
