Inconceivable Odds (contains hidden track "No Danger")
. . .


Verse 1
The emptiness that burns inside
See how they run see how they hide
All the animals come out at night!
All the animals come out at night!

Chorus
Just a slave to the city
To indulge the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution

Strength in numbers
No one will come between us

Verse 2
The human use of human beings
Their emotions you fail to see
The adrenaline it burns a hole
The adrenaline it burns a hole

Chorus
Just a slave to the city
To indulge the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution

Strength in numbers
No one will come between us

I feel pain in every part of me
Now poor girl come and settle on my knee
I crave the love that the people talk about
But in love do ya feel
Feel a spike
Feel alive

Yeah my body can't get enough
Feel a spike
Though emotionally I'm lost
Have no inner love
Feel a spike

In a part of me
I forget about the city around me
Though emotionally I'm lost
Have no inner love
Feel a spike
Feel a spike

Forget
Forget the notion
If you don't feel this emotion
My words, they run like water
Into the cave of the insecure

My body shakes with the feeling
If I don't have you to believe in
Right now I'm still devoted
My time it ticks away slowly

The doors close and the walls come in on me
Her toes curl at the very thought of it
She craves the love that the people talk about
Watch her writhe

Though emotionally she's lost
Has no inner trust
She's denied

In a part of me
I forget about the city around me
Though emotionally I'm lost
Have no inner love
Feel a spike
Feel a spike

Forget
Forget the notion
If you don't feel this emotion
My words, they run like water
Into the cave of the insecure

My body shakes with the feeling
If I don't have you to believe in
Right now I'm still devoted
My time it ticks away slowly

. . .


Cos the world's apart but it's time to know
That the hardest part is to not let go
Although heart keeps beating the brain keeps wanting
How can I fly if you wont give me wings?

Burn the cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me get to me
Burn the cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me now

Cos you make it hard to believe in you
Cos you close your eyes to what we do
And as we keep paying we keep dying
How can I fly if you wont give me wings?

Burn the cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me get to me
Burn the cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky

Because you say

Drugs in the hands of a dealer
The devil comes.
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more.
Drugs in the hands of a dealer
The devil comes.
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more.

Let's all take a chance to work it out
But you're saving face just to stay in power
And as we keep paying we keep dying
How can I fly if you won't let me be?

Burn the cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me get to me
Burn the cinders in time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky

Because you say

Drugs in the hands of a dealer
The devil comes.
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more.
Drugs in the hands of a dealer
The devil comes.
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more.

You've got to give them what they want
(Your only love is just a game)
You've got to give them what they want
(Find the way to be so ?????.)
(X 6)

Drugs in the hands of a dealer
The devil comes.
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more.
Drugs in the hands of a dealer
The devil comes.
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more.

The Devil Come
You all want more
The devil come come come
You all want more

. . .


I live a life of the simple kind
A lie it only covers
Either way
You do it every other day

Giving love is essential
Whenever we come undone
To believe what you want to
Whenever you come undone

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Nobody can hurt me unless I allow them
For it is I, it is I that is in control
Even includes myself, too much and I fall, too much and I fall
That includes myself, man, 'cause you're too idle

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

You won't survive just because you're idle
Come, ride with me on a wave that's tidal
Forced to stand down and brave the winter
If you reveal the cracks then you will splinter

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love you, somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

my hands are before me
the principles of life like a forest
to reach out and touch it
the spines are in my hands and i'm bleeding
now get up people and show you want it
cos i'm not sure you do
get up people and show you want it
cos i'm not sure you do
i'm not, i'm not gonna just sit here and let this go to waste
watching the clock tick on my life
oh no
this time
this time's gonna be different
cos i know what i want
listing the people i'm taking down
this is what i'm fighting for
come over to the left side
we got something for ya
my mind it weaves a tangled web
now get up people and show you want it
cos i'm not sure you do
get up people and show you want it
cos i'm not sure you do
i'm not, i'm not gonna just sit here and let this go to waste
watching the clock tick on my life
oh no
this time
this time's gonna be different
cos i know what i want
listing the people i'm taking down
this is what i'm fighting for

. . .


Yeah, I'm sensible, I want peace
And I believe it's still inside of me
Far from here they speak a thousand tales
Of what we lost into an open fire

I think it's time for you to look around
And see your past is like broken glass
Where are the feelings?
Where are the feelings?

A false empire of burning fire
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar

I've had enough, I'm gonna hide no more
Now I've spoken, gonna speak some more
Politics are getting in the way
People telling me what I should say

I think it's time for you to meet the boys
We'll cut through you like silence cuts through noise
Where are the leaders?
Where are the leaders?

A false empire of burning fire
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar

Yeah, I'm not inspired

I've had enough, I'm gonna hide no more
Now I've spoken, gonna speak some more
Politics are getting in the way
People telling me what I should say, woah

I think it's time for you to meet the boys
We'll cut through you like silence cuts through noise
Where are the leaders?
Where are the leaders?

A false empire of burning fire
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar

Yeah, I'm not inspired
Outside

. . .


When mountains are high
clouds and rain form on them
when waters are deep
dragons are born in them
flourish in my arms tonight
cherished in my arms tonight

come on
How do I get through it?
come on
put ya back into it
come on
something to believe in
come on
know yourself from within

a burden to pass
that holds you from yours fortune
a dormant fire that burns a hole
inside you
flourish in my arms tonight
cherished in my arms tonight

come on
How do I get through it?
come on
put ya back into it
come on
something to believe in
come on
know yourself from within

come on
How do I get through it?
come on
put ya back into it
come on
something to believe in
come on
know yourself from within

. . .


I want you to feel it
There's enough of us here I can feel it in the air around me
So Near
Now we're shoulder to shoulder in the same plan
Without you I'm a broken man
Without you I'm a slave to their plan
I'll wash the evidence from my hands
And leave the guilt behind

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react (x2)
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

I know I can feel it
Just as tangible and as vivid as the moment that I'm in
So clear
Swim through the sea of pretenders
Without you I'm a broken man
Without you I'm a slave to their plan
I'll wash the evidence from my hands
And leave the guilt behind

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react (x2)
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

There's no vision (x4)
There's no vision
There's no vision
Somethings got to change

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react (x2)
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

. . .


the whole world follows them
as echoes respond to sounds
one thought leads to another thought
the mind is the battle ground
you're holding on to all that really matters
you wonder why
all this had to happen
why am i the last one to know
last one to know
you try
to get a hold of yourself
hold of yourself
the words i can't understand
tehy are like waterfalls
the world in the palm of my hand
one day i'll crush you all
you're holding on to all that really matters
you wonder why
all this had to happen
why am i the last one to know
last one to know
you try
to get a hold of yourself
hold of yourself

. . .


No one can touch me when I am here
Your bitterness is driven by fear

There is no weapon sharper than will, I know
And I'm gonna keep stamping down until I know
I've got my fill

I'm
not gonna live my life alone
Life
is at its sweetest near the bone
In your eyes
I see a heartbeat like a stone
let it go and throw your arms around the sun

I can't get no peace in mind
Despite how hard I try
Turn down your ignorance
And maybe you will understand why
Fashion makes weaker souls appear to be something they're not
No words, just images
Nobody has a heart

There is no weapon sharper than will, I know
I'm gonna keep stamping down until I know
I've got my fill

I'm
not gonna live my life alone
life
is at its sweetest near the bone
in your eye I see heartbeat like a stone
let it go and throw your arms around the sun

I'm
not gonna leave my life alone
life
is at its sweetest near the bone
in your eye I see heartbeat like a stone
let it go and throw your arms around the sun

. . .


Way, way down in the darkest secrets
that you and me aren't told
There lives a man who won't believe us
When we show him love
But someday soon
they will and they will rise
Cut us down without thinking twice

Cold blooded
cold blooded animal
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal
they're still running
still running from ya
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal

Way, way down in the back of your mind
There lives a conscience
Not every child listens to reason
Some will get away
But someday soon
they will rise
and Cut us down without thinking twice

Cold blooded
cold blooded animal
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal
they're still running
still running from ya
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal

We are writing
but when will they listen to us?
the time we've wasted
We keep running
we just keep running
I find you heartless
you're breaking
you're breaking again
until it's over
you get colder and colder

(estribillo x2)
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal
they're still running
still running from ya
Cold blooded
cold blooded animal

cold blooded animal
cold blooded animal

. . .


Lay down your injured arms
'Cause we've come so far as one
Dig me out of here
So on my back I feel some sun
Flee the darkness of this hour
Leave the modern world behind
My life's a burning tower
The walls are the hills we climb

How do I fight these inconceivable odds
From bringing me down?
The drive for explanation grips us all
And pins us to the ground
If I ever leave your side unattended
Exposed to the fall
If I ever leave your heart undefended
Your back to the wall

Everyone must exist alone
we all run races with no ending
my thoughts are synchronized
to a clock with no time
The hearts of men will be corrupted
Abandoned by themselves
Life makes their minds destructive
frightened by the trigger inside

How do I fight these inconceivable odds
From bringing me down?
The drive for explanation grips us all
And pins us to the ground
If I ever leave your side unattended
Exposed to the fall
If I ever leave your heart undefended
Your back to the wall
