1. SANE

Step by step, you're gonna make yourself feel better
Buy yeah buy, you're gonna make yourself feel better
Try yeah try, you're gonna make yourself feel ruthless
More yeah more, you're gonna make yourself feel sane

Can't stop looking and you can't stop taking it in
Head's full baby, but you can't stop taking it in
Reach yeah reach, 'til your arms can't reach any longer
More yeah more, you're gonna make yourself feel sane

Numb it again

Television's dead but you can't stop taking it in
Cover up your eyes, but you can't stop taking it in
Dead dead speech, yeah you can't stop taking it in
Speed it up baby, you gotta make yourself feel sane

Can't stop looking and you can't stop taking it in
Head's full baby, but you can't stop taking it in
Reach yeah reach, 'til your arms can't reach any longer
More yeah more, you're gonna make yourself feel sane

Numb it again


2. SIT BACK DOWN

They try hard to keep in time
They're not you
Sit back down
Sit back down
Take it in
They exist
Keep it slow
Keep it fixed
Sit back down
Sit back down
City streets are synchronized
Human forms
All petrified
So sit back down
Sit back down
Sit back down
Sit back down

Don't look up
Let them sleep
Don't disturb
The morbid feet
You're not the one
Don't you dare
Sit back down
Sit back down
Eyes are drained
Streets are pained
Stay below
Keep it slow
Sit back down
Sit back down
Just sit back down
Sit back down

Close your eyes you sleepers on the street
Walking dead
Walking dead

Sit back down, sit back down
Sit back down, sit back down

Walking dead


3. VEINS

It's easy to be persuaded
It's easy because I'm weak
If it were me I wouldn't make it
Now I've got you
Now I've got you
Frequently sedated
Beast in my veins
If it's free I'm gonna take it
Now I've got you
Now I've got you
Now I've got you
Now I've got you here

Goodbye my sad and lonely
Goodbye that love is sick for me
I hold you
I hold you
Thank God I've finally got you here
Now I hold you
Now I hold you

Nice to be acquainted
It's been easy for a while
Now you don't control it
I control you
I control you
Now I've got you
Now I've got you here

Goodbye my sad and lonely
Goodbye that love is sick for me
I hold you
I hold you
Goodbye my sad and lonely
Goodbye that love is sick for me
I love you
I love you
Thank god I've finally got you here

Now I've got you
Now I've got you here


4. SYSTEM

Completely done
Too much now I can't touch you
I'd drain my brain if only I could have you
The system is too much
It breaks me down and makes you suck
Fuck, now I mistrust you
The system makes me hurt you

One times, one times, one times, one

Discretely done
Obviously now I've become suited, diluted
Free from anything
Yes please, I'd love your love
So I can fuck it up
This system is too much
It breaks me down and makes you suck
Fuck, now I am twisted
This system makes me hurt you

One times, one times, one times, one

We cut and slice
It makes us feel so very nice
I'm simply demented
Uneasy and dented
I'd drain my brain if only I could have you
This system is too much
It breaks me down and makes you suck
Now I can't trust you
This system makes me hurt you

One times, one times, one times, one


5. FOLD

I've been walking through the park
I've been walking in the dark
I've been walking in the rain
I've been walking so much pain
I've been walking in the sun
It's bought me so much fun
Lying on a beach
Darkness out of reach
The world is not so cold
But it still makes me fold

So hold me and keep me sailing
Hold me close to you
Keep me from failing
Disappearing from you

Keep those clouds dispersing
Never leave my side

Don't let that peaceful water
Don't let it subside
Don't let my head confide
Don't let my head collide

With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies


6. LIGHTS

It hurts to feel
It hurts to hear
It hurts to face it
It hurts to hide
It hurts to touch
It hurts to wake up
It hurts to remember
It hurts to hold on

Turn my head

The hurt's relentless
The hurt of emptiness
The hurt of wanting
The hurt of going on
The hurt of missing
The hurt is killing me

Turn my head
Off
Forever
Turn it off
Forever
Off forever
Turn it off forever

Ever blind


7. I WILL FADE

Find answers on the street
In cracks between my feet
But I can't see

Try so hard in vain
To wipe away the stain
Of everyday pain

And you never see me walking towards you
If you did I would surely fade
And you never feel me trying to hold you
If you did I would surely fade away

With the wounded in my way
There's so much to say
But not today

I wonder if it will turn
Not fall apart and burn
When will I learn

And you never see me walking towards you
If you did I would surely fade

And you never feel me trying to hold you
If you did I would surely fade away


8. HEADLIGHTS

They're telling me it won't be long
The door is shut
The suits are on
Too bright to be day
To hurt anyway
Still there's no view
No green, no blue

The headlights above
They don't know love
You smile to please
I try to care

You break my heart
You break my heart

I love you here
I love you here


9. PROGRAMMED

Flicking and twisting
There's a flash in the sky
Falling and drifting
There's a hole in my eye
I've not been feeling stable
It's too hard to try
I'm here and I'm waiting
To say goodbye

Switching and surfing
The transmission's black
I've lost everything
And I can't get it back
This corrupt programme
Has made me a slave
Now I feel remote

I'm interference on the T.V.
But nothing here's gonna free me
I'm screaming somebody help me

Try to break out and run for the land
Look out for yourself this place is a selfish man
Try to break out and run for the land
Look out for yourself this place is a selfish man

Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out

It's so cold
Like interference on a T.V.
It's so cold
Like interference on a T.V.


10. BLACK

Please don't stop me
But go and leave me
You can't keep me inside
Please don't stop me
From being so strange
You can't help me
With your lies
Watch me self-destruct

Please don't stop me
Let me loose in the black
You can't touch me
Because I'm not coming back
Please don't watch me
Eyes burn inside
You can't help me
Or even try
Please go and smash me
Break my bones
You capture then leave me
Like a villain alone
Watch me self-destruct

See the light disappear now
Roll it over the black
I've got to disappear now
And I'm never coming back
Let it roll on over
Everything in sight
It's taken out my feelings
And it's fading out the light

Watch me self-destruct
Watch me self-destruct
Watch me self-destruct
Watch me self-destruct


11. TASTE OF BLOOD

I get a taste of blood in my mouth when you're near
A feeling that's too painful to bear

I get a taste of blood in my mouth when you're near
A feeling that's too painful to bear

Straight to my head

I get a look of fear on my face with you here
A feeling that shivers down my skin

Try to resist, but it's just not finished with you yet
A hold too intense to forget
