HATE THIS FEELING
Find more ways to fuck it up
up where the grey runs weak and slow
It's getting harder to form some thoughts
and the poisoned air keeps choking us
This next song is way to blue
but tonight the groove still comes to you
It's getting harder to down the shots
the rythm gets darker for both of us
Maybe we're made for this wild dance
passionate, so passionate and careless
spin me around until my head hurts
I just need this feeling
but i hate this feeling
No more ways to fuck it up
there’s nothing more for us to show
It's getting harder to see the plots
when the lights go out for both of us
Maybe we're made for this wild dance
passionate, so passionate and careless
spin me around until my head hurts
I just need this feeling
but i hate this feeling
ON THE RUN
Why do you feel so disregarded?
Why do you feel like I'm always wrong?
I know these are lies, but still, I pretend
I look away, and then you are gone
Why do you feel so broken-hearted?
Why do you feel like you're on your own?
It's not always you against the whole world
There’s no king to be overthrown
You used to like it here!
What happened?
Don’t you know where you belong?
Are you still on the run?
You used to feel so good!
What happened?
Did you forget how to have fun?
Are you still on the run?
Why do you feel so uninvited?
Why do you feel like you don't belong?
You tune us out like radio static
But your signal still lingers on
Why do you feel so disconnected?
Why do you feel like you've lost control?
You can outrun every stranger
But you cannot escape your own soul.
You used to like it here!
What happened?
Don’t you know where you belong?
Are you still on the run?
You used to feel so good!
What happened?
Did you forget how to have fun?
Are you still on the run?
On the run, on the run....
SECOND-HAND LIVES
We like being controlled
by familiarity
Ruled by the bricks in our hearts
Are you scared?
We’ve been bought and then sold
to impossibility
our lives are just second-hand
Do you care?
We bend, break down
fade into the grey
the grey that we know
grey that we know
Are we designed for loneliness?
Are we designed for loneliness?
We trade our time for emptiness
We trade our time for emptiness
We speak with no voice
to invincibility
We march to the beat of their drums
are you free?
We bend, break down
fade into the grey
the grey that we know
grey that we know
Are we designed for loneliness?
Are we designed for loneliness?
We trade our time for emptiness
We trade our time for emptiness
THE PILL I (ASCEND)
Swimming through the clouds
like a weightless bird
in the deepest blues
Seeing all the sounds
that move through the
skyline hues
THE PILL II-IV (TRIP, FALL & BATTLE)
Living in electric dreams
riding waves of neon streams
Everything so soft and sweet
except the ground beneath our feet
My wings about to break down
But we can’t eject somehow
Embrace for the impact
But I know how to fix this now
we need it now!!
Just take the pill
to make us feel better
We need the thrill
and we can go on forever!
No more fear and no more pain
just the rush inside my veins
It dominates, it elevates
are they real, these pearly gates?
My wings about to break down
Are things about to end now?
Embrace for the impact
But we know how to make things right!
this never-ending flight
Just take the pill
It will make us feel better
We need the thrill
so we can go on forever!
Don’t take the pill
It wont make me feel better
I need to kill
and lock you up forever
I wont take the pill
cause I wanna feel better
I’m gonna kill
and bury you forever
Swimming through the clouds
like a weightless bird
in the deepest blues
Seeing all the sounds
that move through the
skyline hues
QUIET STORMS
I see you walk the darker road,
a path that bends beneath the load
I reach for you, but you wont stay
and every step pulls you away
I should have seen it in your eyes,
the quiet storms, the silent cries.
You hid it well, you played the part,
while shadows loomed around your heart
Your laughter fades, your light grows dim,
a shadowed world you’re living in
I tried to guide you but I failed
now I fear the dark’s prevailed
Here you are, a boy so bright,
who learned to love despite the night.
And though I couldn’t shield your way,
I’ll stand beside you every day.
The stars align, they call your name
you’re built to play a bigger game
the world is waiting for your spark
you’ll turn the shadows into art
Your hands can paint the endless skies
with words that break and then arise
the canvas waits for you today
to build your future’s grand ballet
You’re more than pain, you’re more than loss
a bridge of gold where rivers cross
You’re full of light, you’re full of song
A voice that soothes, a heart so strong
Your wit is sharp, your heart is gold,
a story rich but still untold.
The pain will fade, the hurt won’t stay
a brighter life is yours to play.
The love you have could fill the sea,
A gift, a light, a legacy.
I love you more than words can say,
through every night, through every day
CELLMATES
How strong is the cage
that holds back the cries?
And keeps all the demons locked up
imprisoned in my mind
The fear shakes my bones
when you say goodbye
awakening the warden, my pride
who keeps the tears detained
Don’t go away, don’t go away
Just love me somehow
but don’t go away
How long is the chain
that shackles the gates?
How can I escape from this place
and let my cellmates run free
The fear shakes my bones
when you say goodbye
breaking my weakness, my pride
and the tears storm out!
Don’t go away, don’t go away
Just love me somehow
but don’t go away
Don’t go away, don’t go away
Please love me somehow
and don’t go away
WITH YOU
Soft light dancing on your skin
morning whispers, tangled sheets and grin
The coffee’s cold, but I don’t really care
finally I’m all alone with you
finally I’m all alone with you
And if the world is fading
and the lights go way down low
I wont fear the dark and
I will not fear the cold
I don’t need the stars,
I don’t need the moon
All I want is time with you!
With you!
I never knew a love like this could feel so right
A million stars could never shine so bright
Every lonely shadow disappears
Tonight, I’m alone with you
Tonight, I’m alone with you
And if the world is fading
and the lights go way down low
I wont fear the dark and
I will not fear the cold
I don’t need the stars,
I don’t need the moon
All I want is time with you!
With you!
All I want is time with you!
LIKE YOU AND ME
Once there was a boy
playing in the park, climbing up a tree
just like you and me
then the bombs rained down in the city
and smoke filled his eyes
Running to his house
screaming all the way for his family
not like you and me
then the stones rained
down from the buildings
and tears filled his eyes
He just wants to be
safe like you and me
He was forced to leave
with no home or a family
Hiking to the tents
on a steep and muddy trail
in a worn-out shoe
not like me and you
then the bombs rained
down on the campsite
and sparks stung his eyes
First time on a plane
flying all alone way above the sea
not like you and me
then the storm rained
down inside his head
and fear filled his mind
He just wants to be
safe like you and me
He was forced to leave
with no home or place to be
In a foreign land
yearning for a place to be safe and free
just like you and me
then the forms rained
down from the grown-ups
and hope drained his eyes
He just wants to be
safe like you and me
He was forced to leave
with no home or a place to sleep
And we...
Will never see him smile.
NOT TOO LATE
The clock is ticking down
the leaders close their eyes,
while rivers bleed,
but tell me can you see,
when the flames arise
and the warnings we ignored
are burning in the fires now
If their power,
feels like a mountain too high
we’ll keep on climbing darling
until we, touch the sky
There’s no time to wait
Wake up, wake up, it’s real
It is not too late
Wake up, wake up, and feel
They smother every voice,
the ones who speak of change,
are left behind
but tell me what you hear,
when people rise
and scream and shout the truth
they refuse to give up and bow
If this moment,
feels like a chance thats slipping through
We’ll scream until it matters,
lets find a better view
There’s no time to wait
Wake up, wake up, it’s real
It is not too late
Wake up, wake up, and feel
No, there’s no time to wait
Wake up, wake up, it’s real
And it is not too late
Wake up, wake up, and feel
PRIVILEGE LANE
This is a story
about two little boys
Who grew into men but
never outgrew their toys
One crowned with power,
the world just a game,
The other counting zeros,
cruising down privilege lane.
Blind to the wreckage
deaf to the screams,
They gamble with lives
while chasing their galactic dreams.
High as a kite,
tricking markets, selling cars,
Trading our futures
and planting flags on the stars.
Bullies in suits, pulling strings
Bullies in suits, and their gold-plated things
Behind velvet ropes,
where truth is out of style,
They toast to control,
with their cold-blooded, tangerine smiles.
Preaching about values,
with cigars and a view
In their cash-stacked towers,
but their empathy is long overdue.
Bullies in suits, pulling strings
Bullies in suits, and their gold-plated things
Feeding on fear,
making nothing great again,
What’s a burning world
to two little greedy men?
PHANTOM
Don't speak, don't speak
I know all the ways that I've done wrong
My mind, my mind
Is like a storm I can't outrun
There's a Phantom on your soul
and he's there for the show
You're the lights in his chandelier
You got to take back control
or he'll steal all your glow
and I hate to see him break you
Don't act, don't act
cause you deserve a better play
My heart, my heart
is not as pure as it once was
There's a Phantom on your soul
and he's there for the show
You're the lights in his chandelier
You got to take back control
or he'll steal all your glow
and I hate to see him break you
SEASONS FINALE
She danced in the rain.
She sang in the storm.
She held the sun.
But she was all alone, all alone
The time has come for her
to take her final bow
No more encores
now the curtain's coming down
She has had it with
our broken empty vows
Right now! She’s out! We've lost!
I’m sorry for the smoke
for all the seasons that we broke
and how I watched you choke
I’m sorry for the waste
for all the beauty we defaced
and all the time we can’t replace
Right now! She’s out! We've lost!
I’m sorry for the smoke (Right now!)
for all the seasons that we broke (She's out!)
and how I watched you choke (We've lost!)
I’m sorry for the waste (Right now!)
for all the beauty we defaced (She's out!)
and all the time we can’t replace
(We've lost!)
