Refrain

Don't ask this time
don't ask the reasons why
you started on two feet
and ended on your knees

taking all the cues (?) from the past
build it into something that doesn't last
stake it on an empty threat
can you find the pieces to fit this yet?
(3x) 'cause it looks like that you've got more to learn

2x Refrain

fall into the safety of force
stretching out your hands to grasp
a fragment of a hope to find
I don't see a place left (?) for you to climb
(3x) 'cause it looks loke that you've got more to learn

2x Refrain

. . .


Got a feeling it's a fever, it's a fire
Talking trouble take it down into the wire
Once chance two chance
It's a lie
It's old and old and old and worn out
Light it up for real and watch it work a way
Got no memory of ever being made
We'll take heart, take heart anyway
Your own, your own, your own are not now

Heeeeeeeeey!
LIGHT IT UP!

Heeeeeeeeey!
LIGHT IT UP!

Taking comfort in the promises of pride
A blade incision it will never help decide
We're growing up, growing out of a life
It won't, it won't, it won't fit anyone
Got a feeling, it's a fever, it's a fire
Marking territory a faction for a fight
Take heart, take heart 'cos the lie
It's old, it's old, it's old and worn out
It's old it's old and worn out!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey!
LIGHT IT UP!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey!
LIGHT IT UP!

Light it up for real (heeeeeeeey)
Light it up and we'll see
LIGHT IT UP!

Light it up for real (heeeeeeeey)
Light it up and we'll see
LIGHT IT UP!

Heeeeeey!
LIGHT IT UP!

Heeeeeeey!
LIGHT IT UP!

Light it up for real (Heeeeeeeey)
Light it up and we'll see
LIGHT IT UP!

Light it up or real (Heeeey)
Light it up and we'll see
LIGHT IT UP!

Your repetition is killing us, killing us
We made a story and it wore off, it wore off
So what is this?
My head spins

The air's getting thick now and I can't breathe
The words are coming so easily
The air's getting thick now and I can't breathe
The words are coming so easily

Oh no, oh no
Everybody out, everybody out of here
I can't stand it
Everybody out, everybody out of here

A broken mind, a fear of rage, fear of rage
We tried our best but nothing came, nothing came
So what is this?
I feel nothing

The air's getting thick now and I can't breathe
The words are coming so easily
The air's getting thick now and I can't breathe
The words are coming so easily

Oh no, oh no
Everybody out, everybody out of here
I can't stand it
Everybody out, everybody out of here

. . .


In the end is this all we can ask for?
breathing every day and might just waiting

calling out the (?) silence
talking but no words

broken in pieces

corburs (?) blind still nothing
guiding for so long

broken in pieces

. . .


We'll make a scratch
On fingernails
Until it's all gone
Pulling at
Every thread
Stuck in a back room
So who's hiding up
Who's hiding up
You lose and you laugh (?)
Who's hiding up
We'll make this last
(?) now

Burning your hands
What's it worth waiting for?
Swimming to you
Crawling in your touch

Burning your hands
What's it worth waiting for?
Swimming to you
Crawling in your touch

Break the bones you call your own
Lost a place to call your home
Break the bones you call your own
Lost a place to call your home

Burning your hands
What's it worth waiting for?
Swimming to you
Crawling in your touch

Burning your hands
What's it worth waiting for?
Swimming to you
Crawling in your touch

Break the bones you call your own
Lost a place to call your home
Break the bones you call your own
Lost a place to call your home

. . .


COUNT ME OUT

Counting on the words that just repeat
Hoping soon that it will feel complete
How can we believe in what we see?
How can we believe in what we read?

Always empty, it's out, it's out
Always not me, it's out, it's out
Always empty
Always not me

Moving through the motions step by step (oh woah, oh woah)
Keeping strong, opinions and regret (oh woah, oh woah)
How can we believe in what we say? (oh woah, oh woah)
How can we go on, what happens next? (oh woah, oh woah)

Always empty, it's out, it's out
Always not me, it's out, it's out
Always empty
Always not me

Always empty, it's out, it's out
Always not me, it's out, it's out
Always empty
Always not me

Count me out, I'm not here
Count me out, I'm not here
Count me out, I'm not here
Count me out, I'm not here

. . .


Heartsink

The greatest let down leaves
(a taste in my mouth, taste in my mouth)
A blind and blank routine
(waiting it out, waiting it out)
They're wearing me out with their hand me down lines
(small town weather, small town weather)
The ordinary sound of the ordinary mind
(living here forever, living here forever)

We've heard it all ten-thousand times
Can you feel your heart sink? I can feel mine
I can feel mine

Inch by inch we find
(we're never satisfied, never satisfied)
We're leaving it behind
(Doubts grow inside, doubts grow inside)
We burn ourselves out, just to calm ourselves down
(Space to recover, space to recover)
A little escape from the weight of this town
(Need to find another, need to find another)

We've heard it all ten-thousand times
Can you feel your heart sink? I can feel mine
I can feel mine

And we'll sacrifice, for the opposite
because there must be more, and we know it.

We've heard it all ten-thousand times (and we'll sacrifice for the opposite)
Can you feel your heart sink? I can feel mine (because there must be more, and we know there is)
and we know it, and we know it !

Uoooh
Uoooh
Uoooh
Where are you now?

Uoooh
Uoooh
Uoooh
Where are you now?

Uoooh
Uoooh
Uoooh
Where are you now?

Uoooh
Uoooh
Uoooh
Where are you now?

Dancing with the lights on
Shadows in my reflection

Draw curtains in
Dust gathering
Clutching at things
But now just dreams

Uoooh
Uoooh
Uoooh
Where are you now?

Uoooh
Uoooh
Uoooh
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Dancing with the lights on
Shadows in my reflection
Dullest skies cover windows
Polished smile slowly turns cold
Dancing with the lights on
Shadows in my reflection

. . .


Watching for hours
Like wilting flowers
Blame it on something
Pouring it over
Falling like soldiers
Thinking of nothing

Blank in your head 'cos it's hard to believe
And the ache in your bones goes from chest to your feet
Blank in your head 'cos it's hard to believe
And the ache in your bones goes from chest to your feet
Blank in your head yeh it's hard to accept
The loss that you feel isn't easy to heal
Blank in your head yeh it's hard to believe
And the ache in your bones goes from chest to your feet

Doesn't really matter what was said
I won't believe it
I won't believe it
I turn my back, I turn my head
I won't believe it
I won't believe it
I can't say another word
I can't breathe another lung
Shut my eyes the world is gone
I won't believe it
I won't believe it

Skin full of indents
Making an entrance
Mind is in circles
Unravel your tongue
Smiling that you've won
It's not that simple

Blank in your head 'cos it's hard to believe
And the ache in your bones goes from chest to your feet
Blank in your head 'cos it's hard to believe
And the ache in your bones goes from chest to your feet
Blank in your head yeh it's hard to accept
The loss that you feel isn't easy to heal
Blank in your head yeh it's hard to believe
And the ache in your bones goes from chest to your feet

Doesn't really matter what was said
I won't believe it
I won't believe it
I turn my back, I turn my head
I won't believe it
I won't believe it
I can't say another word
I can't breathe another lung
Shut my eyes the world is gone
I won't believe it
I won't believe it

. . .


You take all you have and you leave it behind
In the hope there's more to find
In blind ambition yeh in blind faith
You wait for things to change
Hungry for something that I can't say
And the colours fade to grey
Too close to comfort but too far to feel
Yeh it spins the wheel

Walking forwards with no sight
'Coz the rhythm leaves you blind
Walking forwards with no sight
Yeh, it's dark as night

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through

Call out the fracture between two lives
There's one to leave behind
The dream isn't woken
So let it forget
The song is different
Hungry for something that I can't say
And the colours fade to grey
Bruises and blisters
They follow the ride
Never turn desire

Walking forwards with no sight
'Coz the rhythm leaves you blind
Walking forwards with no sight
Yeh, it's dark as night

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Colours all fade to grey
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Falling through
Colours all fade to grey
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
