Highspeeds
I'm tired
I've been waiting for you
I'm so tired and
I need to lay down
But you're travelling high speeds
And you're fast
Too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
I'm tired
I've been waiting for you
I'm so tired and I need to lay down
But you're travelling high speeds
And you're fast
Too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
I'm tired
I've been waiting for you
I'm so tired and I need to lay down
But you're
Travelling high speeds
And you're fast
Too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore

Big Bad Wolf
Don’t lock me out
Like I’m the big bad wolf
No barricades
I’m gonna blow them down, down, down
Oooh you gotta
Oooh you gotta
Oooh you gotta let me in
Don’t be scared
I won’t bite
I can’t help while
You’re inside
Don’t be scared
I won’t bite
I can’t help while
You’re inside
Open up
Let me in
Or I’m gonna blow your house down
Open up
Let me in
Or I’m gonna blow your house down
I can’t help while you’re inside
Retract the claws
And I’ll knock on your door
I know you’re hurt
But whatcha hiding for?
Oooh you shoulda
Oooh you shoulda
Oooh you shoulda let me in
Don’t be scared
I won’t bite
I can’t help while
You’re inside
Don’t be scared
I won’t bite
I can’t help while
You’re inside
Open up
Let me in
Or I’m gonna blow your house down
Open up
Let me in
Or I’m gonna blow your house down
I can’t help while you’re inside
******************************************
Slip
I won’t keep watching you
Dance around in your smoke
And flicker out
You’re not the light I used to know
I don’t believe in safety nets
Strung below that make it alright
To let go
You gotta hold on
Or it’s gonna
Slip, slip, slip through your
Slip, slip, slip through your hands
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[repeat]
What’s the matter?
You don’t have enough rain
To make up your storm?
Oooh whatcha look so sad for?
Where’s the light I used to know?
Oh it’s gonna
Slip, slip, slip through your
Slip, slip, slip through your hands
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[repeat]
Where’s that light I used to know?
Where’s that light I used to know?
Where’s that light I used to know?
Where’s the light I used to know?
Slip, slip, slip through your hands
Oh it’s gonna
Slip, slip, slip through your
Slip, slip, slip through your hands

Pattern Repeating
Switch me off
I’m so used to it
Seal me in
Please wake me up where I won’t see the patterns
Shut me down for a while
Put me in hypersleep
Drain the blood from my arms
Freeze it so it’ll keep
Please wake me up where I won’t see the patterns
Suspend my animation
Until things change
Please wake me up where I won’t see the patterns
******************************************
Even Great Things
You can’t have forests without any trees
Can’t have rivers without any water
You can’t smile without any teeth
And now you won’t have me
And now you won’t have me
It’s always hard to say goodbye
But even great things die sometimes
You can’t time without any sand
Can’t build cities without any men
You can’t lock fingers without any hands
I can’t go on, but I hope you can
It’s always hard to say goodbye
But even great things die sometimes
It’s always hard to say goodbye
But even great things die sometimes

I Can't Swim
Feel like I woke up from a bad dream
Where nobody could hear me
I open my mouth and I can’t scream
This river’s carrying me downstream
And I can’t swim
Cause I can’t move my limbs
Oh, I can’t swim
And here comes the part where I drown
Just when I finished standing up all the
Dominoes in my head
Yeah they’re standing up again
They were standing up again
And you pushed one at the end
[x2]
I fear I’m fading away
My skins infected with a light grey
I can feel my mind decay
My thoughts are on a time delay
Oh, I can’t think
My limbs paddle out of sync
No I can’t think
And here comes the part where I drown
Just when I finished standing up all the
Dominoes in my head
Yeah they’re standing up again
They were standing up again
And you pushed one at the end
[x2]
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes
You pushed one at the end
You pushed one at the end
You pushed one at the end
You pushed one at the end
[x2]
Just when I finished standing up all the
Dominoes in my head
Yeah they’re standing up again
They were standing up again
And you pushed one at the end
[x3]

Plastic II
You can wait over there
In the toy box
Oh that’s where
The plastic people go
Fading skin and frosted eyes
You’re cold-blooded cool
But you’re boiling inside
She’s got a brain like a rubber band
Make her think too hard and
It’s gonna snap, it’s gonna snap, it’s gonna snap
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
When you’re made from plastic
Perfect teeth cut down by machines
They’re smiling wide, they’re smiling wide
Silkscreened faces always wet with touchup paint
Trying to change the way they came
Trying to change, trying to change, trying to change
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
When you’re made from plastic
It’s not alight
To take what’s mine, to take what’s mine, to take what’s mine
It’s not okay
To waste my time, to waste my time, to waste my time
Just because you’re made from plastic
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
You don’t have to think much
When you’re made from plastic

Faraday Cage
Hey
It looks like
You’ve seen a ghost
Were you surprised
That of all things
This is what hurt you the most?
Were you surprised?
I wanna hide
Inside of
A Faraday cage
To stop the transmissions
The calls
And the radio waves
I wanna hide, I wanna hide, I wanna hide
Hey
It looks like
You’ve seen a ghost
Were you surprised
That out of all things
This is what hurt you the most?
I wanna hide
Were you surprised?
I wanna hide from you
I wanna hide
Were you surprised?
I wanna hide from you

About Time
I do like this it makes me feel nice
I do like this it makes me shine
I do like this it makes me feel bright
I do like this it makes things alright
It’s about time
It’s about time
I do like this it makes me feel nice
I do like this it makes me shine
I do like this it makes me feel light
I do like this it makes things alright
It’s about time
It’s about time
I do like this it makes me feel nice
I do like this it makes me shine
I do like this it makes me feel bright
I do like this and I think you were right
It’s about time
It’s about time

Best Light
For a moment there
I thought
That we would be alright
I was tired
And you
Were standing in the best light
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
[x2]
I started to believe
In all the stories
Cause I couldn’t stand to fight
I was so tired
Of hanging on to that
Last bit of light
Whoa
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
[x2]
Everything went back
To how it was
But nothing ever felt right
I was so tired
And I
Should’ve closed my eyes
I should’ve closed my eyes
But it was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
Yeah it was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
Whoa it was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
(You were standing in the best light)
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
Yeah I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
You were standing in the best light
You were standing in the best light

VCR Machine
They live inside a VCR Machine
Twirling round and round atop the heads
Tired of watching all the same damn things all the time
Dialogue, they had memorized all the lines
If you try to make it last
Then it will
But they ran the tapes to fast
And skipped by everything
They skipped by everything
Lazy people sleeping through the loneliness
Haven’t got the guts to make a change
Twirling round and round atop the heads thinking
It’s all the same, it’s all the same
Covering the cuts with our hands
Don’t forget to smile, if you can
This is bad for us
This is bad for us
This is bad for us
This is bad for us
This is bad for us
