Lyrics

1. PARALIZED

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die
It lies deep inside

You can not hide
It's the meanest fire
Oh, it's a strange desire
You can not lie
That's a needless fight

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

The sweetest way to die
When your blood runs dry
You're paralyzed
It will eat your mind
Did you hold it back
It comes to you in slow attacks
It's the meanest fire


2. ERASE / REWIND

Hey, what did you hear me say
You know the difference it makes
What did you hear me say
Yes, I said it's fine before
I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before
I've changed my mind
I take it back

Erase and rewind
Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind

So where did you see me go
It's not the right way, you know
Where did you see me go
No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know
I've changed my mind
I take it back

Erase and rewind
Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind


3. EXPLODE

Ease your trouble
We'll pay them double
Not to look at you for a while
And you rely on
What you get high on
And you last just as long as it serves you

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you
Cause you're deserted

What's good, you hurt it
And kills you it keeps you alive
So give it up
In a world of puppets
It's a shame what they do to us all
Can we do anything for you now


4. STARTER

This is a start
That I know I'll believe in
So I'm leaving everything behind
Keeping the parts
That I know I'll be needing
And I breed to be a better kind

And I'm leaving everyone behind
This is the age
When my past should be gone
But it's just stronger than the aims I have Turning the pages
I used to hang on to
I was young and I have changed my mind

And I'm leaving everything behind
New beginning again
A bit closer
New beginning again
A little bit closer
New beginning again
A bit closer to the end

This is the time
It's a delicate line
To the beginning of what's yet to come
Lifetimes of changes
A strange generation
Explanations never come in time
So I'm leaving everything behind


5. HANGING AROUND

I wonder what it's like
Seeing through your eyes
You've offered me to have a try
But I was always late
The filters that I use
Give me an excuse
I take away what's real
I feel it and it blows my fuse

I hang around
For another round
I'm hanging around
For another round
I'm hanging on
To the same old song

I hang around
For another round
Until something stops me
I wonder what it's like
Walking by your side
To think before I talk
And to move at the same speed as you walk

I want to have a weight
To keep me in your state
I'm watching from above
I love it but it's not for me


6. HIGHER

I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
Without you I move at random
Abusing 'cause you're a friend
And there's no Jesus here to explain
And take me higher

Come take me higher
Come take me high above our time
Take me higher
Oh take me higher

Come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here
You justify, you're not afraid
And I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
There's so much more than this before we go
To take us higher

Come take us higher
Come take us high above our time
Take us higher
Oh take us higher

Come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
Come take us out of here
Take us anywhere


7. MARVEL HILL

Strange to be on Marvel Hill
I've walked some years to find
I know there is a piece to fill
The gap I have in mind
No, nothing's here, I close my eyes
It's on the other side
And what I've worked so hard to gain
I'd gladly give away

Cause I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more

A postcard from where life is a thrill
On top of Marvel Hill
But I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more

No, I don' t need this
Too good to be true
Too good to ignore
I don't need this
I need so much more
It's too much to ask for


8. MY FAVORITE GAME

I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favorite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favorite game

I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favorite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favorite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint


9. DO YOU BELIEVE?

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
Do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
I really hope so
But I don't think so

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
Do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
I really hope so
But I don't think so


10. JUNK OF THE HEARTS

We never chose to part
In this stupid play
I never felt by heart
That I could behave
The way the roles were made
I know that I've done you wrong

But you're hard to please
When your faith is gone
And when you can't believe
I'm on my hands and knees
The junk of the hearts

I've given all of me
And you crave for more
Weird how this makes us feel insecure
That's what friends are for


11. NIL
