Alive & Paralyzed

Just listen, just listen
How long will it take you to realise?
My words won't end your life
You just don't like them 'cause they're mine
Sing me a lullaby not a suicide
Take off
Colours are running
My hands are stained
I wanna make you feel alive
I want you to know this is real
We'll carry on all in good time
I want you to feel what I feel
I wanna make you feel alive
No one else will do this for you
If you keep them paralyzed
Dark thoughts
You're having dark thoughts
You need pills
Take them until they are all you need
A change of scenery
When your dying wish was sleep
So tell me how it is and how it's gonna be
Take off
Colours are running
I'm so afraid
I wanna make you feel alive
I want you to know this is real
We'll carry on all in good time
I want you to feel what I feel
I wanna make you feel alive
No one else will do this for you
If you keep them paralyzed
You search the world
You try to find what they call peace of mind
But you can't find it
And even though you say you know me
You only know what I've said

Fat Cats & Radio Spat
02:20
|
|||
|
20/20 vision
You could see much more
If you opened your eyes and just laid on the floor
Take a load off 'cause we're under attack
From all these fat cats & radio spat
Feeling disconnected
More than I have before
Feeling young and reckless
I can take no more
You can hide behind your lies
But I can see who you are
You're not in charge
You're not in charge
Hey!
Radio waves
Complicate your brain
But I can't save you
Call someone who will protect you
Hey!
Radio waves
Communicate your words
'Cause I can't hear you
It hurts now just being near you
Caught in halftime
Take a look at the score
One by one they line up at the door
Means to an end that mean no more
And I can't this anymore
Hey!
Radio waves
Complicate your brain
But I can't save you
Call someone who will protect you
Hey!
Radio waves
Communicate your words
'Cause I can't hear you
It hurts now just being near you

Jenny, Come Down
02:44
|
|||
|
I'll climb inside
I'll try to hide
What brings me down will coincide
With what you want
And why you do
I found the cause and it was you
Hey hey, hey hey you
Hey hey, hey hey you
I hate hate, I hate hate you
Hey hey, hey hey you
Jenny, won't you come down?
Jenny, won't you come down?
Jenny, what you done now?
Jenny, won't you come down?
I'll just pretend
It's not the end
I lost my mind
You lost a friend
And If i'm right
You'll prove me wrong
And you'll be right
Where you belong
Hey hey, hey hey you
Hey hey, hey hey you
I hate hate, I hate hate you
Hey hey, hey hey you
Jenny, won't you come down?
Jenny, won't you come down?
Jenny, what you done now?
Jenny, won't you come down?
La de da de da da
La de da de da!

Go
03:58
|

|
It shouldn't take you this long to know
Whether you'll stay or you'll go
The butterfly still flaps it's wings
As Mother Nature cries
And Father Time sings
Go
We've lost control
We need to go
We've lost control
It's time to go
We've lost control
We need to go go go go
Go!
You stumble down to the river
To wash your hands of these sins
I feel a shake
A slight quiver
You want this to end and so it begins
Go
We've lost control
We need to go
We've lost control
It's time to go
We've lost control
We need to go go go go
Go!
We didn't work so hard everyday
To let them take this away
Take this away
We didn't learn from all our mistakes
To let them take this away
Take this away
Go
We've lost control
We need to go
We've lost control
It's time to go
We've lost control
We need to go
We've lost control

Hysteria
03:59
|
|||
|
Miles from where I want to be
And I still can't see the horizon
Is this the way it was meant to be?
'Cause I still don't know which battle I won
The electricity in this room
Is making me go insane
And whatever it is you plan to do
I know that I can't remain
In this hysteria
In this hysteria
It's getting scarier
In this hysteria
It started out with a big bang
But how does it end?
Can I borrow some confidence?
'Cause I've got none to lend
It's taken us all this time
To end up the same way
And whatever it is you plan to do
I know that I can't stay
In this hysteria
In this hysteria
It's getting scarier
In this hysteria
There were just so many chances
You weren't willing to take
It's just the way things go
Everybody makes mistakes
You built me up like a house of cards
And waited for me to break
And whatever it is you plan to do
I know that I'll escape
From this hysteria
From this hysteria
It's getting scarier
In this hysteria
It's the wrong area
It don't get easier
It's getting scarier
In this hysteria

Come here pretty baby
Let me see your face
I've seen all of your pictures
The ones that you can't erase
Now you tug at my heart strings
You're disconnecting the wires
I'll dress you up like an angel
'cause you're a demon in disguise
You are the kings and queens
The pinnacle of everything
You teach the birds and bees
You're everything I want to be
Now you so beautiful (you're just so beautiful)
Yeah you so beautiful (you're just so beautiful)
Fuck your education
It won't help you stay young
And please oh please just kick my ass
To prove yourself to everyone
You are the kings and queens
The pinnacle of everything
You teach the birds and bees
You're everything I want to be
Now you so beautiful (you're just so beautiful)
Yeah you so beautiful (you're just so beautiful)

Yesterday's Casualty
04:37
|
|||
|
I've seen it run this way before
What do you take me for?
I hope you can't sleep
Hope you can't breathe tonight
Your answer's here
The cities burn before your sights
I hope you feel it tonight
And when the words begin to fade
Pray I remember your name
Your answer's here
Yesterday's Casualty
Save me!

We're young
Yeah and we're stupid
And we do what we feel and we feel what we do
'Cause we just don't care
No we just don't care
And they say it's the most beautiful thing
If I could go back I'd stay
'Cause I wouldn't change a thing
And we make our lives so hard
That we forget to breathe
And they say it's the most beautiful thing
And then come the nights
When it gets a little colder
Feels so right
With you on my shoulder
And they say it's the most beautiful thing
