That's What They Tell Me
They Walk In Pairs
This Is Style
To The Nines
Under the Rug
What It Is We Fear
Where Did This Week Go?
World Without End
You've Got To Stop

Ankle Deep In Mud
Went down by the swamp, looking around
Went down by the swamp, see what I've found
Went down by the swamp, down by the sea
Went down by the swamp, looking at me

Ankle deep in mud, trying to run
Ankle deep in mud, it's no fun

Something underground, sneaking on by
Something underground, people cry
Something underground, go crawling on
Something underground, my nerves are gone

Ankle deep in mud, nowhere to go
Ankle deep in mud, we're running too slow

Screams all around, out of nowhere
Screams all around, no one will dare
Screams all around, something is near
Screams all around, that's something I fear

Ankle deep in mud, getting no place
Ankle deep in mud mud mud mud mud mud
Where's the race?

Ask yourself where's the race?

Ankle deep in mud, getting no place
Ankle deep in mud mud mud mud mud mud

Back Into The Future
I try in vain, so hard to speak
Choked on my tongue, it's down my throat
It used to be, stuck in my cheek
At four a.m., becomes a ghost

As I run faster, I can imagine
I'm looking inside, how could I stumble
I'm looking inside, back into the future

I plan ahead, to spend at last
I jumped the gun, I killed my life
What came before, became my past
What calms me most is my fright

As I crawl deeper, I might imagine
I'm looking inside, The walls around me
I'm looking inside, Back into the future

Because Of Green
Sit back and consume
There is nothing left to choose
Automatic this and that
Sit right back and get fat

Sit right back
Sit right back

Relax until you die
It's a sin to just get by
Your eyes are turning green
Living life suppressed by greed

Relax
Relax

Relax until you die
It's a sin to just get by
Automatic this and that
Sit right back and get fat

Sit right back
And relax

Berlin On The Plains
Berlin on the Plains (3x)
No choice but action (2x)

It's night but you see
It's cold but you burn
It's still but you hear
It's mean but you're strange

Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains
Berlin on the Plains
Berlin on the Plains
No choice but action
No choice but action

It's weak but you're fresh
It's stay but you leave
It stares but you sneer
It's bound but you're free

Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains (3x)
No choice but action (2x)
Go!

It's night but I see
It's cold but I burn
It's still but I hear
It's mean but I'm strange

Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains (3x)
No choice but action (2x)

It's weak but I'm fresh
It's stay but I leave
It stares but I sneer
It's bound but I'm free

Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains (6x)
No choice but action

Black Mirror
In the night, I can pretend
Black and bright, I see the end

Vicious nightmares, Silent dreams
Only black stares, frightened screams
Reflections of nothing, nothing but fear
Shiny future, in my black mirror

White sunlight, Shows us the past
Bright black night, covers all that

Only dreams see what I know
No one's with me where I go
There's nothing that I see,
Nothing is here, shiny future
In my black mirror

In the night I can pretend
Black and bright, I see the end

Vicious nightmares, silent dreams
Only black stares, frightened screams
Reflections of nothing, nothing but fear
Shiny future, In my black mirror

Blonde Goes West
Grab her now while they fade away
I thought it was three years today
When all forgottens turn memories astray
We'll brace the door where the bodies lay

Let's get out, out in the rain
And watch them dance around the drain
So, we have pleasure and freshly caught pain
Break it in pieces; we'll sleep on the stain

So, one has to go and one has to stay
Let's get drunk and not fade away
Absence pulls the heartstrings longer
Absence makes the hair grow blonder

Let's get out, out in the rain
And watch them dance inside my brain
So, we have pleasure and freshly caught pain
Break it in pieces; we'll sleep on the stain

Absence pulls the heartstrings longer

The Difference
Differences ignored, they'll get you in the end
Differences ignored, nerves will bend
You push too far, there's nothing left
You push too far, there's nothing left

You make a bed, you dig a grave
You lie in a blanket it'll go away
You make a bed, you dig a grave
Under the covers, you've got it made

Differences ignored, unforseen tragedy
Giving up is not the end
You make a bed, you dig a grave
Let's die again (x3)

You make a grave, you got it made
With differences you die indifferent
You make a grave, you got it made
Our differences just lie indifferent

Differences ignored, unforseen tragedy
Giving up is not the end
You make a bed, you dig a grave
Let's die again (x4)

Disillusion
Portrait person, half-cocked smile
Picture perfect, don't go far
Understanding, too much good
Disappointing, try too hard

Evolution, change of pace
Adaptation, not too fast
Situation, learn from me
Disillusion, not too sure

Try very hard to fit into the mold
It would be a shame if you weren't accepted

Evolution, change of face
Adaptation, cannot last
Situation, look at me
Disillusion, not too sure
Situation, all mixed up
Disillusion...
Disillusion...

Eat, Sleep A Go-Go
Consume, consommation
Heartbeat, palpitation
Cold, hot, don't stop
Eat, Sleep, A Go-Go (x4)

Rice, stew, boogaloo
Tongue twist and lung chew
Crunch it up, don't get stuck
Eat, Sleep, A Go-Go (x4)

Do the calorie burn
Do the calorie burn
You can't quit

Metabolic alcoholic
It's a gas, get on the stick (x3)
Don't stop (x4)

Every Road You Go Down
Every road that you go down
Every road that you see
Every road that you go down
Bends eventually

Begin, no, remember
May your eyes always see
Every road that you go down
Repeats for eternity

CHORUS:
Every road you go down
Every road that you see
Every road you go down
Bends eventually

A ten mile walk down
Past, you're already there
Drumhead in the kitchen
Any comfort left to spare?

CHORUS REPEAT

Standing in a blue field
Somewhere else to be
Restless abandon
Eat your heart on a stick

CHORUS REPEAT TWICE

Face
White men, some wear silver, some wear gold
Clean men, some are new, some are old

They bite, they smile, they can scare

Deciduous existence is not fair

Two men, one can see, one cannot
Blue men, I can't help what I got

They sleep, they stare, they can cry
One thing's for certain, they can't lie

There's too many people that I can't ...
There's too many people that I can't ...
There's too many people that I can't ...
Face, face

Gold To Rust
The time for change is long, long goes
Carving ornamental hearts of stone
Leaving some mystery disclosed
You'll never have to search for hope
I've seen hard rock turn into sand
Into sand

One into a face that's real
A bleeding friend's own face I see
Being it's easy to be alone
If ever you can trust yourself
I've seen warm words turn into cold
Into cold (x5)

Will I always sometimes believe
Wasted time is gambled and lost
Nothing someone can ever trust
Whenever a change is at stake
I've seen pure gold turn into rust
Into rust

In The Dark
In the dark, take me by the hand
Lead me to another land
Promises, too soon to make
Fragile feelings too soon to break
In the dark (x2)

In the dark, flying through space
I can see your terrified face
I realize why we're here
The future really is not too clear
In the dark (x2)

In the dark (x2)
Where's the light, in the dark
Where's the light, I'm in the dark

Just For The Moment
Eyes are lined with respectable lies
Floating backward 'til it cries

Function stops, in walks conflict (x3)

Lives are lined with forgettable ties
Forced emotion 'til it dies

Nothing's said, I'm forgotten (just for the moment) x4

Just for the moment (x4)

Knight
Sitting around thinking alone
I got rats and birds on my side
You say, talk talk
Nothing to hide
There are lessons learned
Who's on my side?

Is it real for you?
Is she everything you need?
Do you sit at home and lie to yourself
Like I do? Like I do

Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
What do I want? What do you need?
Do you bleed like I do
Like I do? Like I do

Sitting around thinking alone
I got rats and birds on my side
You say, talk talk
Nothing to hide
There are lessons learned
Who's on my side?

Who is she? Is it real for you?
Is she everything you need?
Do you sit at home and lie to yourself
Like I do? Like I do

Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure

Looking Out For #3
Oh, did you see me floating past you
I saw three of you in separate corners all a part of me
One was an arm I used to have
One was a gift that I wanted so badly
But here it is without a purpose 'cause it's inside me

Oh, did you see me floating past you
Wondering what that shadow of a woman is.
The child with the bid grin on?
But now I touch the three
And now I live the three
And it's all so simple while we're young

Oh I'm floating past you
Looking out for number three

Nothing I Can Do
Just a glance
A glimpse from some impulsive world
Vaguely focus in and out
I can see it fading, turn and go
I can see it fading, nothing I can do
My eyes are tied

Just one time
A grasp on some unchallenged realm
Firmly stating my control
I can feel it churning, wait a while
I can feel it churning, nothing I can do
My limbs are tied

I can see it fading, nothing I can do
I can feel it churning, nothing I can do
My mind is tied

Numbers And Colours
7 1 8 2 and
Yellow, red, green and blue
7 1 8 2 and
Yellow, red, green and blue

Numbers and colours a world to choose
Numbers and colours defend to lose
Numbers and colours a world to choose
Numbers and colours defend to lose

Silver, gold steel and glass
Pretend to be the number one class
Silver, gold steel and glass
Pretend to be the number one class

Numbers and colours a world to choose
Numbers and colours defend to lose
Numbers and colours a world to choose
Numbers and colours defend to lose

Silver, gold steel and glass
Pretend to be the number one class
Silver, gold steel and glass
Pretend to be the number one class

Numbers and colours stay to the end
Numbers and colours count your blessings till then

Oh Yeah No
Oh, oh, oh, oh, how we loved it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, how we used it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, how we need it
I want that cancer

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was sacred
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was nothing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it destroyed us
I want that cancer

I beat my soul
I'm down on my knees
I got what I want
And I'm begging you to please me, come on

No, no, no, no, they didn't tell us
No, no, no, no, it didn't happen
No, no, no, no, they didn't question
I want that cancer

I beat my soul
I'm down on my knees
I got what I want
And I'm begging you to please me, come on

On And On
Your eyes have cracked
They've shattered the image
Convenience for the moment

On and on and on and on and on
It slips away

The place is packed, whose image is worse?
Controlling every movement

On and on and on and on and on
And run away

No time to look back, trapped in the past
Controlling all the destiny

On and on and on and on and on
And fade away

You keep thinking, you keep acting
Keep on pretending

On and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on

One More Circle
Acting too much, can't feel no more
Jumping in circles, can't play no more
No more time, no more time
No more time for circles (x2)

Talking too much gets through no more
Running in circles, can't focus no more
No more time, no more time
No more time for circles (x2)

Jumping in circles, hit the floor
Running in circles, can't find the door
No more time, no more time
No more time for circles (x2)

No more rhyme (no more circles)
No more crime (no more circles)
No more crime (no more circles)

Painted Floor
If it lasts for an hour it's just an illusion
It's lasting too long and you're an intrusion
Interrupt when I'm talking, asleep when I'm walking
You can stop the sound, you can touch the ground
But you can't, you can't move me

A pile of confusion's tied up in my head
It's spitting out anger and I'm full of dread
We moving through changes we won't pass again
You're looking through curtains
You're wondering when I'll disappear

Cover me with rain (x2)
We can slip and fall, we can lose it all, but
You can't change me (x4)

(It's hard, it's hard)

Someone's spinning tales of wonder (it's hard)
Someone's got a bottle to kill (it's hard)
Someone's good at making thunder (it's hard)
But this one's slipping on the painted floor (it's hard)
(repeat)

It's hard, it's hard
It's hard to hear your heartbeat when you're dreaming
It's hard to hear your heartbeat when you're dreaming
It's hard
It's hard, so hard
It's hard to hear your heartbeat when you're screaming
It's hard to hear your heartbeat when you're screaming

Someone's spinning tales of wonder (it's hard)
Someone's got a bottle to kill (it's hard)
Someone's good at making thunder (it's hard)
But this one's slipping on the painted floor (it's hard)
(repeat)

On the painted floor (x6)

Paradise
Here you are today with your head full of stones
Thinking that you own what was never quite yours
You hit the street, look left then right
You follow him where you will go
But you'll never think to follow me to paradise
To paradise

I saw you yesterday looking better than before
Talking of a life that could never be yours
You looked at me; I see through you
Wishing all your thoughts could fill your dreams
But I never want to waste a day in paradise
In paradise

Now, you're on your own; it's not the bridges that get burned
Look who's missing whom or what you miss the most
You save your breath again and lie
I really thought I would let you try
I bet you never thought I'd let you die in your paradise
Your paradise

Rhythm Empty
What's underneath where light has gone
Where something's born we fall apart
Where breath is faint, inhale with me
Inhaling rhythm empty

Who dies alone when strength has gone?
When nothing's left, when this feels right
When words fall short, collide with me
Colliding rhythm empty

Like worlds in time
For one last time
Please stare at me
Trusting rhythm empty
(repeat)

Room w/a View
I'm in the light and my eyes are burning
Catch expression while my head is turning

Where are the strings that move my lips?
You had them in your hands

I'm in a room where the walls don't end
I had a pen and I lost it again

Where are the chords that move my voice?
You had them in your hands

Outside the noises swell and I don't feel so well
With no surprise, no room to fall
how can we doubt what we know so well?

These are the strings that move my lips
These are the chords that move my voice
These are the fingers that move my pen

You had them in your hands

See Who's Laughing
Pack up your life and I'm left writhing
Empty rooms are all too haunting
Nonsense aggravation from sitting on my hands
Avoid the truth

Put up with strife and you get happy
Day by day and you say sorry
Intense circumstances is simply borrowed time
See who's laughing

Drag it out and now I'm sorry
After all it's all too haunting
Going in circles and I corner sordid past
Avoid the truth, see who's laughing
I'm not laughing (ha, ha, ha)

Why do I do all the counting?

Sleeve
And the less we know the better it feels
Oh how I wish wishing made it so

Take this thing away 'cause I can't sleep no more
Take this thing away 'cause I can't eat no more
Take this thing away and let me breathe
It's burning a hole in my sleeve

Enough, that's enough
I find nothing to be habit forming
Enough, that's enough
What would I be without it?

And the wars we play and now I pay
Oh, nothing lasts, please make it through this day

That's What They Tell Me
Don't tell me tomorrow
Don't tell me maybe
Because you know I won't be happy
Till I get what I need

(repeat 1st verse)

Everyone's got lots of money
Everyone's got lots of love
Everyone's got a happy family
That's what they tell me
That's what they tell me

(repeat 2nd verse)
(repeat 1st verse)
(repeat 2nd verse)

They Walk In Pairs
Sentinels guard the enemy thoughts
And stare each other down
All is open but nothing's revealed
They wait for each other to open fire

Action, action and reaction
They walk in pairs
Action, action and reaction
They walk in pairs

Courage hides and lies are heroes
Talk, no cares, they walk in pairs

Feelings flee, discuss what remains
Talk, no cares, they walk in pairs

Action, action and reaction
They walk in pairs
Action, talk no cares
They walk in pairs
Action, talk no cares
They walk in pairs

This Is Style
Starting out from a different point of view
I have got an image to undo
Expecting me for free and all the while
Expecting me to change my inner style

This Is Style (x3), don't change my... style

Starting out with a different set of rules
I've got this image to undo
Fashion comes and the masses thrive
Except this nonesense expected to survive

This Is Style (x3), don't change my... style

This is style, this is ...
This is style, I'll change my.. my own style

To The Nines
Blackest country, coldest swell
Spinning only breaks the spell

Singing voices clear as bells
Don't you hear them just as well?
And your silence freezes hell
Vacant eyes are all to tell

To the nines

Control inside of the few
Instant instinct says of new
Burning crosses, ideas too
Setting sunrise is the view

Start the learning, action too
Restless fingers, more than two

Under the Rug
I saw you in your tower
I paid the fee
I gave my blood
I spit on my shoes
To live in your shadow
I lost more than I could find
Under the rug (x2)

Under the rug you feel me scream
In your complacency leave me be
I see colors of the ones before
Drink and stumble (x2)

Dark it burns shattered and dry
Failing solo and now I hide
Cursed living forward plunge
What's in the mainstream is under the rug (x2)
Under the rug

I saw you walking, do you know your way?
I saw light fall into grey
It followed me home, it made me ill
Steady boy, you've had your fill

What's under the rug is now in my bed
It's made its way into the scheme of things
How do you plead with your pants on fire (x2)
When a bucket of water is under the rug
Under the rug

Under the rug you feel me scream
In your complacency leave me be
I see colors of the ones before
Drink and stumble (x2)

How do you choke your one desire? (x3)
Don't look for me (x4)
I'm under the rug (x8)

What It Is We Fear
Touch I can touch
Pale, you turn pale
Deadly are my fingers
I guess you can tell

What it is we fear

Passion where is this love it
doesn't take
Talk we can talk
all night in silence

What it is we fear

For reasons of purpose
virtue has not stuck
Trapped in the syntax of
someone else's game

What it is we fear

(instrumental break)

What it is we fear
What it is we fear

Where Did This Week Go?
Give me some time, I'm too slow
I need more time, don't you know
That I'm tired, I'm wired

Don't spend hours planning for me
I won't be here when my time is free
Now, don't you see, that's not for me

Next week I'll go to the store
Next week I'll sleep some more
Next week, hey, where did this week go?

The TV has a life of it's own
While we're asleep unplug the phone
We're tired, perspired

The light bulbs are dying and nobody cares
We leave their corpses on the stairs
They're tired, so uninspired

Next week I'll be more relaxed
Next week I'll pick up the slack
Next week, hey where did this week go?
Next week is this week (x2)
Next week I'll do something useful.

World Without End
World without end
drink the water from this empty cup
Swallow down; spirit up

World without end

In your days of loneliness
spend the time of all your seconds left
I confess; save yourself

Need the pain of someone else
spend the time of all your seconds left
Nothing left to be spent

World without end
Never end can be the answer back
No distress to the end

You've Got To Stop
Unknown weakness follow me
Enter anguish, tragically
The ceiling up above
Falling down, falling down, falling

The world around standing still
Move too fast, now I'm ill
The pressure up above
Caving in, caving in, caving

People don't help, they just stare
Nothing to fear, never a care
People all around
Run away, run away, run, run

You have got to stop
You know you can't go on (4x)
