01. Order / Disorder |
|
Do you want disorder? Well I don't believe you. I heard you order yourself around "Do this, move that." Why? Why? To left and right.
Order disorder. Well I'll leave you To arrange your disarray anyway you see fit. It's criminal how you abide.
That's not the order In which we do things. You want the credit and the award Before the damn things done Even though, do you even know what the child means?
You wanna turn this world round, You might start spinning first.
I might have controlled myself now but maybe I can't now, no Control myself now Will be your famous last words.
A fixed form of broken Will wreck or mend you. Calculate your short change just the same, just the same Keep it on low.
I wanna control it all now, but lately I cannot I want to control myself now I need a famous last word.
This is not your enemy

02. Idleidolidyl |
|
I'm idle, I've never seen someone do so much Nothing for so long I'm not going to stand still Like algae growing a collection of dust Nothing doing, fuck all...
The more I try I can't decide which, Which 'I' I'm trying to hold in mind.
You're my idol, I worship the ground you walk upon Neither of us know why we keep it that way I idolise blindly, my eyes are burning My life means nothing, it's you I'm interested in...
The more I try I can't decide which, Which 'I' I'm trying to hold in mind
An idyl, A picture I didn't believe in the mind Envision I dreamed of Take me there right now This is all All I ever wanted Idyl an Idleidolidyl
The more I try I can't decide which, Which 'I' I'm trying to hold in mind.

03. Eye Opener |
|
You're an eye opener I'm an eye closer Slip our lids round See what's lying there behind our eyes I'm tired of explaining What I see Does that secret handshake include me and you? Are you a part of me? You and I both know Absolutely nothing Test the water Without ever getting wet I can't talk to anyone Who looks me right in the eye Flip your lid around See me lying there pretending to die I'm tired of believing What I see Does that secret handshake include me and you? Are you a part of me? They can't help me up now That we live For so long Get backward All the pain is gone I've been there For so long Is that what it's like? (x3) You're an eye opener I'm an eye closer Flip my lid around See what's lying there behind my eyes And I'm tired of thinking About how to see Does that secret handshake include me and you? Are you a part of me?

04. Discotheque |
|
I, for some time, watched us fall under the rubble you climbed That look in your apocalyptic eye; so beautiful, vague and sublime.
And how your feet just seem to glide. I admire how you can just drop it all and dance round I'd be ashamed of my bellyaching reprive They have nothing still survived and will forever
How many times? Put on a smile Beat while we're dancing. How many times? Put on a smile Beat while we're dancing.
You can entertain any time (Disaster revealing question in mind) I get too lost in the brown, tall dancer...
We will rise from the, from the dead, we rise (and dance on our own grave) We will rise from the, from the dead, we rise (the answer in the party)

05. Be Leaving |
|
I'm gonna leave you out Coz you're perishable Out on the counter Oh am I out for the count?
Don't let it spoil Don't let it ruin Don't let it rot
It's not you (?) I believe in you You can't leave it out before the option needs you Are you out of line? Through the mind inside How do you have a line? Through the mind inside
Don't go getting your hopes up they told me they'd rather stay down Always feel left out I will believe you out Believe you out Believe you out Believe you out
Oh you'd better believe, Oh you'd better believe, Oh you'd better believe oh oh you better...
Oh protocols for me Oh blow your glass idea
(?) If you'd rather stay down If you get trapped forever Maybe you'd best be left out Believe yourself where you are Before I believe you out Believe you out Believe you out Believe you out
Oh you'd better believe, Oh you'd better believe, Oh you'd better believe oh oh you better...
Do you really believe? Do you really believe? Do you really believe them?

06. The Earth Beneath |
|
I was wrong, the earth beneath our feet won't last for ever I'll soon be gone, Oh well done....
I want to apologise, by the power invested in you in a way I got wrong, By the power invested in your way I have known.
Has been the future, calm man, be the bigger man - back down, save us all Let me take your future for you, 'Look at me I'm a surgeon' Where was my world gone?
Now you've gone, they've pulled the rug out from beneath my feet That's the ground I'm standing on Why is Mother Nature over there with her legs open wide? Open wide...
You look so good You look so good You look so good on paper You look like a (?) Like a crumbling [b]puzzle Your place of work...[/b]
Oh the here and the now as the ground we stand on Over the (?) The earth beneath our feet we place beneath our agenda You'd better hope there's a hell below because everything else is unknown Unknown...
You'd better hope there's a hell below!

07. Inhibition |
|
Shown often are The defenses round your heart Anyone trying to climb will fall from high
So you blow off the stars Because they won't shine quite where you want Everyone will look at another sky for you
Inhibition Everyone will still adore you
And you show off your scars And you describe the size of the shark Everyone's dying to lend you a hand
Inhibition We'll help you if we can Everyone will still adore you
Everyone will still adore you

08. The Wit of The Staircase |
|
I said my 'goodbyes' didn't I? Seemed so ideal to the outside Burning and tying on I should have said it before I.... Before I'd gone, Before I'd gone, That's the wit of the staircase.
Shouldn't have left me alone Winchester type paranoid Atlantic ocean that's your mind I should have said it before I... Before I'd gone, Before I'd gone, That's the wit of the staircase.
May it come, the time, we will fall in love May it come, the time, we will fall in love May it come, the time, we will fall in love Forever forever forever....
They'll find me, they'll find me when I wash up...
They're out there I've seen them out there I'm not crazy, I'm not... Not crying wolf, I'm.... I'm not crazy, I'm not... I see them out there in the real world, out my window They're already in my head now, behind my eyes.

09. Quotes |
|
Put me in quotes Why am I always a joke
Can’t I be real this time? Who am I supposed to be this time? Can I be real this time? Back to where I began
Pull me in close Hour hands, moments frozen I need more than I ever really know
Watch me as I roll, said the eyes Back to the first square
Pull me in close Closer than you’ve ever been before
The question is are you ever really sure?
Are you embarrassed? Maybe you’re embarrassed. Maybe you’re afraid Of existing within All I’ve ever wanted is to be recognized for what I may be But that may or may not be up to you.
The more I care, the more I care to forget Decide what I mean Get a rise out of tumbling me down the side of your crumbling mountain

10. Puncture |
|
It's useless to say That you only scratched the surface. Your superficial face Bears the mark of everything.
Every undertaking overthrown Your way is to wait for the next time And you should have seen your face As they banished you to the outskirts Like an asteroid that fell Or a dream that you couldn't tell anyone Everything that you just couldn't sell Your way is to wait till it falls on you...
Pointless, swan-dive, Pointless, swan-dive into your river floor Your river floor And you're dama-dama-damaging And they're all gonna scratch their back-peddling heads now.
A puncture in the sky, I'm peering down on all your little toy lives How important they all look now...
(?) an idea Of the what the future brings and what I can bring to it If only I have been invited, yeah.
And all we are we are, We are trying However hard, You look at someone else's star It won't get you very far. You know I am unsure But are we all?
