Spark 02:03
I've been sleeping in a hail & ride For the past few nights Looking for somewhere else that I can confide Somewhere away from these fluorescent lights And we're all bathing in a plastic fate Watch our foundations deteriorate The surface of your lies is starting to rise And your face paint's beginning to flake Let's start a fire

baby have you noticed it's getting rainier round here and it's getting colder gonna have to move on in and baby have you noticed i'm getting sick of this big thing Street preachers are selling me sin this is a tragedy misery and i can feel it in my bones in my flesh and all i know is that I'm not lonely I'm not lonely but only with you it's just gone new years time to resolve or revolt i could be new here but I'm not the one at fault what are we trying to avoid? misery we got the light now misery

trading independence for security all so shrowded in anxiety i got my demons inside of me sleep is just a waste of dreaming under the eyes of new ministers she died when they said 'finish her' we're the dream inside a narcoleptic race oh love neon crosses hanging high freedom's a weakness until you try one day we're all gonna die what kind of mark will we have left behind? someone out there is watching you but not in the way you'd like them to you can't turn it off, nowhere to go dreams are just a waste of feeling i remember the day they took you away the music died when they said 'here's today' but we're the dream inside a narcoleptic race oh love neon crosses hanging high freedom's a weakness until you try one day we're all gonna die what kind of mark will we have left behind? (boom, boom) give me the chance and it is gonna go (boom, boom) well get me in and i will make it blow (boom, boom) nobody really ever wants to die but we are the dead (boom, boom) give me the chance and it is gonna go (boom, boom) well get me in and i will make it blow (boom, boom) nobody really ever wants to die I dont want to die we got kids dressing like they're middle aged slip on a suit and call yourself new wave always gonna be another number slave 5,6,7,8 neon crosses hanging high freedom's a weakness until you try one day we're all gonna die what kind of mark will we have left behind?

Afterglow 05:09
chasing dreams that died a long time ago lost amongst your towers and i can't pretend that I'm not looking for a different end to this i've got scars on my knuckles and life in these eyes i will never cower and i won't pretend that I'm looking for a different end to this city's drowning in dust and smoke it's the end of another day has this all been just a joke the men at the reigns are losing control and we're lost, lost, lost in the afterglow lost, lost, where are we gonna go? lost, lost where it's blue, it's green, and indigo but is this gonna last? we pollute the room with caffeine and cigarettes it's the bleak end of the blues and i can't pretend that I'm not looking for a different end to this you've got cut up knees, and life in those eyes a million lights shining through and i won't pretend that I'm looking for a different end to you city's drowning in dust and smoke it's the end of another day has this all been just a joke the men at the reigns are losing control and we're lost, lost, lost in the afterglow lost, lost, where are we gonna go? lost, lost where it's blue, it's green, and indigo but is this gonna last?

breathe? 03:34
we're the builders take my heart, you broke it anyway if we were gonna make a difference we'd already be dead i'll meet you at the hospital party where my demons can't find me i gutted the world and bled it dry just wanted to see what its insides looked like stitched her up, worked to revive you have to believe in order to feel alive but i believe and break my heart, you stole it anyway all we are is pieces of metal all tangled in flesh we got out alive but dare we ever forget these words with some rustled up meaning if only you could see things from the other side of those beat up headphones they dont make you free i gutted the world and bled it dry just wanted to see what its insides looked like stitched her up, worked to revive you have to believe in order to feel alive but i believe so why can't i breathe?

you can never cross the ocean if you're scared of leaving home so take everything i give you and i hope you're happy when you're gone if i was to wake up breathing out of someone else's lungs would i be able to appreciate that i dont have flaws; i am one? well I'm gonna hate the fame but that's until i get there all you gotta do is play the game, play it if you dare please dont break, cause there's no heroes anymore the broken remains of a perfect teenage fantasy there's no-one left to step in and settle the score the scores of men are coming back and there's no-one left to slow them down the more sadness that you amputate the more the lights will dim the more and more you lose yourself the more you become like him inside this cornucopia of love and lies and compromise you stand in front of bathroom mirrors practising your smile well I'm gonna hate the fame but that's until i get there all you gotta do is play the game, play it if you dare please dont break, cause there's no heroes anymore the broken remains of a perfect teenage fantasy there's no-one left to step in and settle the score the scores of men are coming back and there's no-one left to slow them down please dont break, cause there's no heroes anymore the broken remains of a perfect teenage fantasy there's no-one left to step in and settle the score the scores of men are coming back and there's no-one left to slow them down please dont break, cause there's no heroes anymore the broken remains of a perfect teenage fantasy

i figured out when i was young that the challenges of the world would be lost by everyone and when it's all said and done you know, things change like the constellations in the sky our place underneath the moon on high i think this is our chance to try and escape from all the empty lies let's disappear together i suppose we've had our fun the flashlights over power will be blinding everyone so put the keys in, lets just drive let's run while we're still alive to see the constellations in the sky our place underneath the moon on high i think this is our chance to try and escape from all the empty lies let's disappear together (disappear) i will lead you away from the dark and stand within an inch of a spark this surgery inside our hearts these fires, they keep us apart i will lead you away from the dark

preorder another broken promise on economy delivery this is the very last time i'll catch myself hoping to just bump into happiness so quiet you can hear the moving billboards change so deep you can't swim back up behind a human-being shaped brick wall a generation of doctors but who's gonna save us when we all bury our heads in the sand? we're born to die; it's black and white you'll never live if you never learn to fight and are we falling down and out again? is this more than we'd ever bargained for? i know that i'll hate (myself in the morning) a generation of doctors but who's gonna save us when we all bury our heads in the sand? we're born to die; it's black and white you'll never live if you never learn to fight we are arch enemies bound together like gold and jealousy i'm gonna take it all back we are arch enemies bound together like teens and misery i'm gonna take it all back a generation of doctors but who's gonna save us when we all bury our heads in the sand? we're born to die; it's black and white you'll never live if you never learn to fight

this car's pretty dead with all the crap i've said but she's got eyes that'll knock you twice to the ground bright blue, just like you, unlike anybody else this has got to be a hoax she asked me to drive, we were dancing in the street and why are we still alive if all we ever do is compete it's the last gas for 90 miles we'll be out in 45 live to defile we'll be dancing on the roadside take my hand, but please dont drop it I've only got one left take my heart, but please be careful i dont have a spare bright blue, just like you, unlike anybody else this has got to be a hoax it's the last gas for 90 miles we'll be out in 45 live to defile we'll be dancing on the roadside how about a dream, or something to think? a thought, or a breath at least? just a sign of life? cause we're a fast food meal from dry oh what i'd give for your home's light we've got a flat, we're back on fumes we didn't plan this right we are the silence in between memories of places that we've been the days when we ruled the world it was always me and you, girl it's the last gas for 90 miles we'll be out in 45 live to defile we'll be dancing on the roadside how about a dream, or something to think? a thought, or a breath at least? just a sign of life? we are the silence in between memories of places that we've been the days when we ruled the world it was always me and you, girl
