[PEOPLE LIKE US - LYRICS]
People like us struggle with obsession
And people like us are prone to depression
And we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Because people like us don't wanna be like you
No, I didn't come to apologise

No One Left to Blame
04:34

When I look around me I see Bedlam
People preaching hatred in the streets
Then they go and blame it on religion
Twisting every word to suit their needs
Everyone thinks they have good intentions
I'm not insane, I'm just misunderstood
And I really can't be bad cause it's subjective
Oh yes, it all depends on how you define good
[Chorus]
And if we all pull the trigger at the same time, there will be no one left to blame
Well if cheaters never lose then what will you do when there is no one left to play your game?
Getting fat while many more are starving
Taking all the money that you can
Yet you teach us never to be greedy
Greed is just another deadly sin
Let us give your kids an education
Free from heavy music, drugs and porn
Make them into soldiers of the nation
Perfect little robots built for war

[TURN IT OFF - LYRICS]
So you're feeling just as happy as can be!
And you wrote a song so we could all feel the same
And it got some airplay on the radio
And I don't know how much more I can take
[Chorus (Totally profound lyrics, these)]
Whoa oh oh, yeah yeah yeah, no no no, hey hey hey
A remedy for all those whoa are sad
And you made it rhyme and upbeat so God bless you!
But I must admit it makes me kind of mad
When you tell me all the songs I like depress you

Float
03:10
|

[FLOAT - LYRICS]
Well I heard you were back in town
So many ways to die
And they think they can break me down
Well, I'd love to see them try!
I've had pills to help me sleep (medication to make me numb)
but it's a good thing you couldn't see me when I hit the bottom
Well I fell below the waves when you pushed me off the boat
and I tried to swim back up but it's hard when you don't float

[ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME - LYRICS]
My inhibitions leave me full of restraint; nobody said this was gonna be painless
My friends keep telling me I'm going insane but I would rather be crazy than brainless
Now tell me something I don't already know because I'm starting to become impatient
I've got my shoes on and I'm ready to go because I'm bored of all this conversation
[Pre Chorus]
Life's too short to fill yourself with remorse so get ready to erase your mind
[Chorus]
I don't care anymore, get out of my way!
I know only God can judge me
No! I'm not gonna die (at least not tonight)
I'm gonna collide with misery
Make us so jaded that we all turn green but our mistakes remain in the past
Cause there's a fine line between poetry and simply talking out your ass
[Final Chorus]
I don't care anymore, get out of my way!
I know only God can judge me
No! I'm not gonna die (at least not tonight)
I'm gonna collide with misery
So if you're with me, you're well on your way
we know only God can save us now, we're going down
along to the sound of this mind erasing symphony

[YOU SET ME ON FIRE AND NOW I AM DEAD - LYRICS]
What's the matter, my friend?
Am I putting you on edge?
Have you come to me with blood on your hands?
I am not broken, I am free
So please stop trying to fix me
You are a joke to me, I hope you understand
And I've been pounding on the glass
And I've been calling out your name
But you just walked by as if it was opaque
I'll scream out just to mask the sound
When everything comes crashing down on me
So all my friends will think that I'm ok
[Chorus]
So why? I never meant to be this way!

[QUESTIONS AND THE ASKING THEREOF - LYRICS]
Some seek perfection, the best move every turn
But little do they know it's our mistakes that make us learn
Sometimes even I don't know why I do the things I do
But rather than try to understand, I just pray that I never have to
And it's one for the road
Two for the song
Three for wondering what went wrong
Four for the times I'm filled with doubt
And five for when I punch my way out
We are the reason; the mystery that no one questions
We are the reason; the mystery that no one questions
And in the darkness, the shadows provide full protection
We are the reason; the mystery that no one questions

Knights and Knaves
03:13

[KNIGHTS AND KNAVES - LYRICS]
Everyone is a liar, or a saint but nothing inbetween
Holding hands around the fire, waiting patiently to hear the victim scream
When I'm looking at my own reflection, I see a stranger staring back
Every thought is driven to contention, I can't hold on
[Chorus]
Everyone gathers round just to stand and watch me drown
Noble knight, if you don't lie, can you tell me I'm alright?
Someone help me! As I slowly start to fade can you help me to escape
From the land of knights and knaves?
I don't know how I got here, I don't know if I'll ever leave this place
It's pretty clear I don't belong here, I can't even find my footprints to retrace
When I'm looking down at my own shadow I see that it's no longer there
I can feel I'm slipping into madness. I'm going numb
Dear God, if I just fell asleep, can't someone wake me from this dream?
I'm going under. As I slip into insanity I know I can't be saved from the land of Knights and Knaves

[EARTHBOUND - LYRICS]
It's been a week, why am I still here? Empty and cold, see-through and white
I can't wake up, I'm living a nightmare. I'm looking in from the outside
Not even God can save me now. How did it ever come to this?
[Chorus]
Cause I'm looking at you, I know you can't see me
But I'm not afraid, I know that you miss me
With so much to say, I wish you could hear me
But I am losing the will to stay
[Bridge]
And I'm on the other side, I can't talk to you
And I'm pounding on the glass but I can't break through
So just let me slip away and live your life for two
Just like you did when I was alive

Imperfect
03:41
|

[IMPERFECT - LYRICS]
Fragile and weak, running out of time
Pale and empty, imperfect by design
Screaming out with no one around to hear
Bent and broken, you wanna disappear
I know that right now you're feeling less than worthless, my friend
And I've been there before and there's no doubt I'll go back there again
At least a hundred thousand times before I finally reach the end
Someone told me you'd been asking round for me, so here I am

WHERE YOUR SHADOW FALLS - LYRICS
Secret sensation, you're a million miles above me
No one will understand you when you say you're lonely
They don't see you for what you are because you're much too far away
I'm getting dizzy and I'm not sure if I like it
I'm disappearing and there's no way I can fight it
We don't have much time left to don't misinterpret what I say
They don't see you for what you are because the time is wrong
You hold me down x2
Look at you now, you've gone and thrown it all away
Is it lonely where you are? Well I hope so

MERRYGOROUND - LYRICS
Step right up and gather round, come and have a go on the merry-go-round
If you wanna go faster, scream a little louder and let the horses of hell take you higher
