Far away from here I’ll float on. It won’t feel like I’ve left you But I’ll be gone. Can’t help myselft. I’ve got to fly Can’t hang on. Move along. I’ll be soaring by Far away from you I’ll float on. It won’t feel like I’ve left you But I’ll be gone. Can’t help myselft. I’ve got to fly Can’t hang on. Move along. I’ll be soaring by. I feel I could suffocate under the weight of it all. Don’t hesitate. No need to brace for the fall. Levitate and separate yourself from it all. No matter how, do it now. You’ve got to find a way out. Can’t help myself. I’ve got to fly Can’t hang on. Move along. I’ll be soaring by.

I’m tired. It’s late. This city’s cold and grey under the night. Building’s old that nudge against the sky lit bright. No control. My head is light. I hit the floor. I don’t feel all right. Spinning world through bloodshot eyes. Hit the floor. I don’t feel alive. Waiting on the Sun to come around. Hold me now and lift me off the ground. Waiting on the Sun to come around. Hold me now and lift me off the ground. Am I still alive? How can I make it through another night? No control. My head is light. I hit the floor. I don’t feel all right. Spinning world through bloodshot eyes. Hit the floor. I don’t feel alive. Waiting on the Sun to come around. Hold me now and lift me off the ground. Waiting on the Sun to come around. Hold me now and lift me off the ground. Bitter Thoughts as lovers watch me Wondering if I’ll take the plunge. Bitter thoughts that leave me Wondering how the water’d fill my lungs No I know. Yeah, I know this night will end and I’ll be fine. Yeah, I know I’ll be fine if I can make it through the night. Waiting on the Sun to come around. Hold me now and lift me off the ground. Waiting on the Sun to come around. Hold me now and lift me off the ground.

Up for Air 04:07
Come up for air. Calm it down. You’re felling scared. You found yourself alone. Impaired. The people round you stop and stare But you don’t mind. No, you don’t care. You’re gaining speed, but going nowhere. You’re workin’ all the time. Never home at night. Walking round the streets to kill some time. Passing all the cars. All the empty bars. Wondering where you’ve found yourself tonight. Down another road Bathed in orange glow. Hope your feet can lead you back on home. And you’ll cary on. Oh no. Carry on. You can’t read through blurry eyes. Don’t need them after Midnight. The air is cold. Your lungs feel tight. You’re workin’ all the time. Never home at night. Walking round the streets to kill some time. Passing all the cars. All the empty bars. Wondering where you’ve found yourself tonight. Down another road Bathed in orange glow. Hope your feet can lead you back on home. And you’ll cary on. Oh no. Carry on. Daylight is breaking and you are on your own. Daylight is breaking and you are on your own. Daylight is breaking and you are on your own. You’re workin’ all the time. Never home at night. Walking round the streets to kill some time. Passing all the cars. All the empty bars. Wondering where you’ve found yourself tonight. Down another road Bathed in orange glow. Hope your feet can lead you back on home. And you’ll carry on. Oh no. Carry on. Oh no. Carry on. Oh no. Carry on.

Like a Drum 05:23
Bass breaking through the subs. Loud enough to blow your eardrums. Can’t help but feel the love. All around the room like the lights above. Wade in deep through the crowd. Wrapped up in haze that’s thick as a cloud. Can’t help but feel the love All around the room like the lights up above. You are wrapped up inside my arms. You are wrapped up inside my arms. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. We’re stomping our feet on the ground. Careful or we’ll bring the whole place down. Sweat pouring off our brows. The room keeps spinning around and around. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Pounding drums ringing steadfast in our ears. A thousand suns washing over us. A million people fading into the background. Just you and me and a sea of music and love. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum. Our hearts beating like a drum.

Out here In the world you disappear In a crowded room You feel consumed And it’s so Loud here And there’s no one you can Recognize in sight. Hold on tight. All the paint smeared On the walls to Hide the years now lost in time And all that grime And you are Stuck here. Paralyzed with fear. They can see right through you. See right through you. See right Through you And all your lies. Something deep inside Is screaming out fight or flight If you leave this place You could save some face Just Run out that open door Again like you’ve done before If you lift your shoes off the floor And move Just Breath in and out You’re fine. It’s all just a trick of the mind. They can see right through you See right though you. See right Through you And all your lies. Breath in and out You’re fine. It’s all just a trick of the mind. They can see right through you See right though you. See right Breath in and out You’re fine. It’s all just a trick of the mind. They can see right through you See right though you. See right Breath in and out You’re fine. It’s all just a trick of the mind. They can see right through you See right though you. See right...

It started long ago. Feeling lost and all alone. It’s hard enough to feel natural. A beating heart that never really slows. Don’t give up. They would love to watch us fade out. Sending love. Words to help you through the dark. Don’t give up. They would love to watch you fade out. Kill the lies now and listen to our hearts. Static on the radio. Another year another home. It’s hard enough to feel natural And now we’re here a place we barely know. Don’t give up. They would love to watch us fade out. Sending love. Words to help you through the dark. Don’t give up. They would love to watch you fade out. Kill the lies now and listen to our hearts. Hit the coast. Standing close, our naked feet below the tide. We’re so close, I can see the stars reflecting off your eyes. Your eyes Your eyes We’ll be alright. Your eyes Your eyes We’ll be alright. Don’t give up. They would love to watch us fade out. Sending love. Words to help you through the dark. Don’t give up. They would love to watch you fade out. Kill the lies now and listen to our hearts.

Weights and Stones He’s walking out. It’s all right. Holding on till midnight. He’s waiting for a quick ride. He stumbles out in a cold night. His whole body shakes and moans. Held down by weights and stones. Wade through the snow and make it on home. This beat’s got you feeling all right. Weights. Stones. Pulling you down. Weights. Stones. Holding you down. She’s walking out. It’s all right/ Holding on; it’s midnight. She’s waiting for the right time. She stumbles out in a cold night. Her whole body shakes and moans. Held down by weights and stones. Wade through the snow and let it all go. This beat’s got you feeling all right. Weights. Stones. Pulling you down. Weights. Stones. Holding you down.

Fade On 03:07
Seems like something’s wrong here. I can’t feel my fingertips. Grabbing on with no fear. Taking off like rocketships. Hands raised to the sky. God, I feel alive. Oh yeah! Holding on to pavement. Brushing off a cold sweat. Catching on to your scent. Spin me round your fingertips. Oh God. Hold on to the fading night With our faded minds. Raise up. Fade on. Holding out for no one else. Only us. We’ve been called out of touch. We’re all begging for the rush. Got to keep on moving. Dance until the morning hits. All a sea of movement. Kisses, tongues, and open lips. Strung out but you can’t stop now. No, you won’t fall down. No, you ask for more. Raise up. Fade on. Holding out for no one else. Only us. We’ve been called out of touch. We’re all begging for the rush. I can taste your stale sweat. Vodka base and cigarettes. Speakers loud as jumbo jets. Phantom sounds and silhouettes. Raise your hands up high. Raise your hands up high. Raise up. Fade on. Holding out for no one else. Only us. We’ve been called out of touch. We’re all begging for the rush.

Always Losing Who knows where it came from? Who knows what will happen He hits right above the lung Now you’re filling up with blood Your breathing shallows He hits right above the lung Now you’re filling up with blood You’re always losing. You can’t stop the flood You landed with a thud You can’t stop the flood It started with a gun. Oh! You can not stop the flood No, you can’t stop the flood You’re always losing. Always. He hits right above the lung You’re filling up with blood Your breathing shallows He hits right above the lung Now you’re filling up with blood You’re always losing. Always.

Carry On 02:53
You try to blur the lines. Black and white. Wait in line. We’ll call you when it’s time. No one calls for weeks. Begging for some sleep. Loathing all the sheep Who coronated war. Howling “Crooks run amok!” Billy clubs rain down. They do not speak for us Waiting till the hammer drops. Carry on eyes wide. Carry on eyes wide Carry on eyes wide Carry on eyes wide Carry on eyes wide They do not speak for us. Carry on eyes wide. Carry on eyes wide Carry on eyes wide They do not speak for us.

Monsters 03:53
Cold and lonely It’s always the same Rubber bags closed Blood on the floor Filled with hate and rage they had to lash out Cold and lonely It’s always the same I’m right and you’re wrong And you don’t belong Monsters made of fear and hatred spilled out Stolen all the other days Away from those you hate And now, they’re silent You wasted all they were There fire. You fired So be everything you are You monster You fired Start it over again Start it over again Cold and lonely They ghosts that remain We weep and we morn Again and again What makes it worse is that it never seems to end Stolen all the other days Away from those you hate And now, they’re silent You wasted all they were There fire. You fired So be everything you are You monster You fired Start it over again Start it over again You fired and fired. You fired and fired.

Closing time. He thinks he’s fine. He spits and swears There’s nobody there But somebody let you out.o Drunk and wild. A broken smile His arm goes slack A small heart attack He stumbles and crumbles. Fear crashing over Like an ocean. Sweat, dark oblivion. There’s no light. No brilliant white. He’s anxious for the flash of his life But nothing comes flashing by Something grates across his chest Electric pulse. Enough there to raise the dead. Is this death though? Fear crashing over Like an ocean. Sweat, dark oblivion. He screams out Don’t bring me back Just leave me here Don’t bring me back Don’t pull me out of the black I’ve come to accept this feeling of death This body I’ve left I feel warm In control No more fear washing over Like an ocean. Sweet, dark oblivion.

I was there To watch it all get swept beneath the waves Watch it all get swept beneath the waves. When I looked at you All you did was turn and walk away. All you did was turn and walk away. Cause... It was all so fast. The water came and tore up all the trees. It broke all of the roots and left the leaves. It left a path To bring the things back out to Sea. It wiped away the earth and left it clean. And there was nothing we could do But watch the world circle down the drain. No, there was nothing we could do But hold our breaths before we sank Under the weight. Under the weight of it all. So grab hold and don’t let go. Grab hold and don’t let go. We were there To watch it all get swept beneath the waves. Watch it all get swept beneath the waves. And there was nothing we could do But watch the world circle down the drain. No, there was nothing we could do But hold our breaths before we sank. Under the weight Under the weight of it all
