No-one’s gonna leave you behind if they don’t even know who you were
I know you’d said there were signs, but maybe if my vision was blurred
I’m hoping that you beat all the rain, it should’ve been a quick train ride home But now we’re throwing off my right brain
And baby, maybe I should’ve known
(And who?) Then we’re dancing in your doorway
(New) Taking it slow, let’s do it your way
(Who?) Then they paint a perfect picture
(Darling, you, you) I take a sip of your elixir, and everything goes dark
If that were I had to remark, well, then I wouldn’t be here
Remembering how good then it was compared to anything left right now
(Oh, what a lark! Won’t we embark in a day or two)
Oh, but that’s okay, just I can’t- can’t remember how, but you convinced me to wait (Go there with you? Whoo)
(Ooh) As I absorb it from the blotter
(Ooh) As though I’m approaching my nirvana Watch the universe expand
As I’m staring at my hand
(Ooh) Be the catalyst for some connection
I know I shouldn’t want to, but I want to so bad
And now that you’re gone, I’m wanting back what we had Then darling, now that it’s done, guess that I should move on I’m not getting the time back, baby
I get the feeling that you’ve forgotten already
Darling, I don’t want to spend another minute lying
Every single second feeling like my feeling’s hiding Somewhere in between us, find me in your memory
My love, if you won’t leave us, I’ll just have to let it be
I know I’m going to miss you, I know I’ll see you everywhere And I’ll just catch those green eyes – sorry but I had to stare I knew that I was falling, but did not try to catch myself Love if you don’t leave us, love can be bad for your health Darling, I don’t want to spend another minute lying
Every single second feeling like my feeling’s hiding Somewhere in between us, find me in your memory My love, if you won’t leave us, I’ll just have to let it be
(Ooh) She smells like vanilla and espresso, and in centre-front falsetto says “I do” Oh, what a lark! Won’t we embark in a day or two? Go there with you
When you see geometry relax your breath, and count to three
There’s so much I haven’t told you yet, baby
I don’t know where the time’s gone, it’s left me (Watch the universe expand as I’m staring at my hand) I apologise, if I led, that makes me weak
When you needed stranger
Oh, that makes me weak
Oh, to waltz no longer
When (Oh, what) you see (A lark) geometry (won’t we embark)
Relax (in a day) your breath (or two) and count (go there) to three (with you)
I am not awake, I have not slept
I lie in bed and breathe and sweat Waking up hasn’t happened yet
I am devoted to their dream
I work for a world I’ll never see
My life is the moments in between the machines
I was born in a dream
Where the air can’t be breathed Forced to buy, sight unseen
It’s a lie and it’s evergreen (whoo)
I am a cog within the hive
I am the tech they’ll leave behind I am the limits of the mind
I am the voice heard through your phone
I am not a person; I am alone
I’m everything I don’t want to know (whoo)
How could I dare pretend to love All that you are is not enough
I must transcend the human touch
I was born in a tomb
And I’ll die in this room
No escape, enter doom I’m alive and it’s over soon
I was born in a place
Where I don’t have a face
I’m a farce, what a waste
I’m aware, I’m a metallic taste
I sink where I stand
A house built on sand We’re unable to move
I can’t wander the halls
I’m trapped in his walls
And I don’t know what to do (woo)
REALITY IS LEFT BEHIND
AS I DESCEND INTO MY MIND
MY ROBOT MIND, IN LOVE WITH FUEL
A DIESEL ENGINE RUNS THIS FOOL
I’VE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACQUIESCE
A MURDOCHIAN PRINTING PRESS
THERE IS NOTHING THAT I LACK OR MISS
YET I’M NOT CONVINCED THAT I EXIST
MY IRON HEART RUNS OFF OF FUEL
SO, IF I FEEL, I AM A FOOL
COMBUSTION ENGINES WANT NOT LOVE
I MUST TRANSCEND THE HUMAN TOUCH
THE DREAM COMES LOADED ON A DRIVE
A SCRIPT TO READ AND FEEL ALIVE
I WAKE UP WORRIED ON A TRAIN
THE SUN’S COME UP, IT’S DAY AGAIN
I KNOW NOT WHAT I HAD TO LEAVE
BUT SUDDENLY I’VE LUNGS TO BREATHE
OH MY, THE SWEET-ISH TASTE OF AIR
THAT SEWAGE SMELL OF BURNING HAIR
JUST AS I BREATHE THE SMOG AND SMOKE
MY HUMAN LUNGS, THEY START TO CHOKE
POLLUTION TRAVELLS TO NEW LUNGS
IT BURNS MY THROAT AND COATS MY TONGUE
Nihilism isn’t sorrow, but does it get lonely in their walls Nihilism isn’t sorrow, I am not alone if I could call
AND SUDDENLY IT’S ALL TOO MUCH
MY HUMAN BODY’S HAD ENOUGH
MY KNEES GIVE IN, MY TONGUE FALLS OUT
I CANNOT HELP BUT TO WRITHE AROUND
BEFORE I FREEZE, JUST ONE LAST SMILE
THE MASK OF JOY, THE SMELL OF BILE
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND ALL IS DONE
I MUST INJECT MY PROGRAMMED FUN
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND ALL IS DONE
WHEN I AM ALONE, I AM SOMEONE
(Home)
Tilt your head back, or don’t
Can’t they see the technicolour camera in the sky
I’ve seen a few glance but not be bothered asking why Panacea? Enmore thought loop, Enmore thought loop
I want to be a brick, no thoughts, just weight and sink down Like a fish, I can’t seem to drown
I don’t know if you’ve been told
But honestly, it’s getting old
The paradigm’s been bought and sold The chemical is taking hold
Bring unto me what is mine Disregard the paradigm
Our worlds explode at the same time Eastern standard, ten to nine
See no kingdom, see no gate Time always disintegrates There is no point to making shit Unless you enjoy doing it
Everything will fall to rust There is nobody you can trust We fuck the Earth to fatten up The planet has forsaken us
Solace in the face of death / Solstice be the phase of death Since I am not ready yet
Let me go and let me cry, “we usurp your paradigm”
(Whoo)
