I lost count of every time that you got away
Take me down, then disappear without a trace
You make it so hard, not even trying to
You got a head start and I've got to find you

When I lose my nerve I count from ten, by four I'm fine again
I'll have lost my mind by minus nine
Gotta hand it to you, got me going insane
There is nowhere to look cos I've tried every single place
I'm stopping you dead or alive, I'm going full-on minus nine

I discard millions of ways that you might look like
I tear apart millions of places where you might hide
So many decoys, how can I find you
I have no real choice but minus nine you

When I lose my nerve I count from ten, by four I'm fine again
I'll have lost my mind by minus nine
Gotta hand it to you, got me going insane
There is nowhere to look cos I've tried every single place
I'm stopping you dead or alive, I'm going full-on minus nine

You're joining the club of the undead, lingering
I'm pulling the plug of the goddamn Universe, cos

When I lose my nerve I count from ten, by four I'm fine again
I'll have lost my mind by minus nine
Gotta hand it to you, got me going insane
There is nowhere to look cos I've tried every single place
I'm stopping you dead or alive, I'm going full-on minus nine

Minus Nine

Confess now you don't feel so insecure
You found the cure was right around the bend again
Confess, no, we were in for no surprise
Took our disguises off and put our heads to rest

Is it the best of you that I forgot to see tonight
Is it the best of me that you failed to find
Is it the best of us that we left so far behind
Is it the best option to leave

Confess you've fantasized about this day
That's not to say you'd like it any more or less
Confess, something puts you off making plans
Cos first you have to stop, pull out a thorn, and then...

Is it the best of you that I forgot to see tonight
Is it the best of me that you failed to find
Is it the best of us that we left so far, behind a corner
Is it the best option to leave

Whatever I choose to say, whatever you choose to hear
So many tears to let flow, the sky's now gonna fall
Whatever I choose to say, whatever you choose to hear
So many fears to forgo, the sky's not gonna fall

Confess, maybe the greatest of reliefs
Is that it's me who's carrying all the guilt himself

Is it the best of you that I forgot to see tonight
Is it the best of me that you failed to find
Is it the best of us that we left so far, behind a corner
Is it the best option to leave

Confess

I'd better pretend that I listen till the drone is over 
The words kind of blend in a song I've never heard before 
Who is to define if I am normal or if I am broken 
I want to reply, but I can barely focus any more 

No-one here gets to hear all the noises in my head 
Drop your drugs and let me go, I was much better off on my own 
No-one here gets to see all the pictures in my head 
Drop your guns and let me go, I was much better off on my own 
No-one here gets to be anywhere near my head 

I know what they want, but they tell a whole different story 
They want me to rot in a corner of a padded cell 
I'll never return back to being both safe and sorry 
Their heaven can burn, I'm not leaving my frozen hell 

No-one here gets to hear all the noises in my head 
Drop your drugs and let me go, I was much better off on my own 
No-one here gets to see all the pictures in my head 
Drop your guns and let me go, I was much better off on my own 
No-one here gets to be anywhere near my head 

They wanna take me but I don't wanna go back, don't wanna go back 
They wanna take me but I don't wanna go back, don't wanna go back 

No-one here gets to hear all the noises in my head 
Drop your drugs and let me go, I was much better off on my own 
No-one here gets to see all the pictures in my head 
Drop your guns and let me go, I was much better off on my own 
They wanna take me but I don't wanna go back, don't wanna go back 
They wanna take me but I don't wanna go back, don't wanna go back

Corner of a Padded Cell

Words are warm as sand, like friendly arms
they embrace you in soothing sounds
Your guard is down

They're words that are beautiful
Words to save the world
Words that reverberate and stay

You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart

Words are cold as ice, and sharp as knives
Fresh and blunt and bold and right
They set your mind

They're words worse than sticks and stones
Words to end it all
Words that reverberate and stay

You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart
Or fail before the start

Sing a song to a thousand people
They sing back for a thousand reasons

Right on wrong
All to noone [sic]

Words, words to end the world
Words to start it all
Words that reverberate and stay

You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart
You've got to try and aim right at the heart

Words

Just as my heart starts to run dry (huh)
out of the blue, before my eyes (yeah)
opens a dark cave which I have
to walk into not looking back,
to walk into not looking back

So comes the time to say goodbye (bye, bye)
Dragging you along wouldn't be right (yeah)
Whatever lies inside, I can
hope to come out a better man,
hope to come out a better man

Hey - when I'm gone
I'll just keep on falling, will I ever hit the ground
And I doubt I'll get back out there, looks like the way is forever down
And I'll keep on falling, yeah, don't you wait to hear a sound
Don't you wait

But to be fair it serves me right (right)
Piled up this darkness down inside (yeah)
Took me a while to understand
I dug this hole with my own hands,
I dug this hole with my own hands

Hey - when I'm gone
I'll just keep on falling, will I ever hit the ground
And I doubt I'll get back out there, looks like the way is forever down
And I'll keep on falling, yeah, don't you wait to hear a sound
Don't you wait for me

(Ooh) You'd go wherever I go, never had a second thought
You'd go wherever I go, and now I'm having second thoughts

(Hope to come out a better man)

(Ooh) Now I'm gone
And I'll keep on falling, will I ever hit the ground
And I doubt I'll get back out there, looks like the way is forever down
And I'll keep on falling, don't you wait to hear a sound
Don't you wait for me
(Ooh)

Forever Down

“You and me be us and we sure not like them one bit”
“Your enemies be yours to hate and mine to pick”
Have I heard that one before, long before today
Easy to declare a war if fought by someone else

“Here be we, there be they, so be things, that I swear”
“Listen to me, my memory will serve you well”
Cos I'm sick of the hate, sick of your righteous tone, I'm sick of listening
I'm sick of the pain caused by your every word, poison everything

“Side my side and fight my fight, promise you that'll set things right”
“Eye for eye and blind for blind, it's us versus them”

Cos you come over and draw (blindsided) a line across the floor (blindsided)
Defining right all wrong (blindsided), divide and never fade
Cos you come over and draw (blindsided) a line across the floor (blindsided)
Defining right all wrong
I bet you'd do what it takes, I bet you'd do what it takes to take control

“You and me be us and we not like them on the loose”
“Your enemies be yours to hate and mine to choose”
Have I heard that one before, long before today
Cos I'm sick of the pain caused by your every word, poison everything

“Side my side and fight my fight, promise you that'll set things right”
“Eye for eye and blind for blind, it's us versus them”

Cos you come over and draw (blindsided) a line across the floor (blindsided)
Defining right all wrong (blindsided), divide and never fade
Cos you come over and draw (blindsided) a line across the floor (blindsided)
Defining right all wrong
I bet you'd do what it takes, I bet you'd do what it takes to take control

Wait, think your aim, look at the one and the others
Take your aim, this' got to stop

Wait, think your aim, look at the one and the others
Take your aim, this' got to stop

Blindsided

From old forbidden books to meetings in back rooms
We made a vow we're ready to fulfil
We're taking power back from evil hands
Our breaths, our minds, our sweat, our lives if need be we will give

Guerrilla tactics bloom in stealthy squads of two
And you and I are ready to begin
We go over the plan, we act it out
Your breath, your eyes, your sweat and mine, your skin brushing my skin

Take every chance with full resolve, tear down our prison wall by wall
Together stand, together fall, together rise above all

Wait through the night in the shadows
When the coast is clear we hit fast, then retire
In our hands our fate, win or die at the gallows
Fight to break us free from the grasp of the tyrants
Hey

The later thrill is such, elation turns to touch
And on the ground the clothes that we were in
And to each other now forever bound
Our breaths, our minds, our sweat, our lives, if need be we will give

Take every chance with full resolve, tear down our prison wall by wall
Together stand, together fall, together rise above all

Wait through the night in the shadows
When the coast is clear we hit fast, then retire
In our hands our fate, win or die at the gallows
Fight to break us free from the grasp of the tyrants
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-ah-ah

Our spirits running high, we contemplate the sight
It's burning down and ceilings caving in
But then on our way back something's not right
Your breath, your eyes, your pain is mine, and red runs down your skin

Take every chance with full resolve, tear down our prison wall by wall
Together stand, together fall, together rise above all

Wait through the night in the shadows
When the coast is clear we hit fast, then retire
In our hands our fate, win or die at the gallows
Fight to break us free from the grasp of the tyrants
Hey, hey, yeah-ah-ah-ah

Shadows

Everybody leaving -wait- everybody falling down the stairs
Everybody leaping -wait- everybody tripping just like the very first one
Go along, go along

Everybody digging -wait- everybody following the trends
Everybody critic -wait- everybody wrong, everybody wrong
Everybody gotta be wrong

They go along, you go along
Hive mind beats free will
They go along, you go along
Just to fit in, just to fit in

Everybody reading -wait- everybody skipping fine print
Everybody speaking -wait- everyone repeating just like the very first time
Go along, go along

Everybody see me -wait- everybody looking straight through me
Everybody hear me -wait- everybody gone, everybody gone
Everybody gotta be wrong

They go along, you go along
Hive mind beats free will
They go along, you go along
Just to fit in, just to fit in

Gathered the following I'm following
All yapping out of turn, no listening
I'm close to blending in, real close
Never go back again, we're moving forward, just in circles, circles

They go along, you go along
Hive mind beats free will
They go along, you go along
Just to fit in
They go along, you go along
Hive mind beats free will
They go along, you go along
Just to fit in, just to fit in

Go Along

Walking down this side of town as a kid I ran around
There my home, there my school, there I met my first love
If I spy with my mind's eye, it'll never die
And so on and on and on and on

Strolling past the corner shop
Where I got my first job what seems like ages ago
Never burnt to the ground to the sound of machine gun rounds
And so on and on and on and on and on

Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
  (Bullets have no meaning)
Rain's coming but there ain't no choice
  (Bullets have not meaning)

Rubble that I turn to homes, collaterals that are again my own
Fire to love and dust to air and screams to songs
And today will not arrive, got lost in time
And so on and on and on and on

Push me back, shove me forth, I'm not gonna budge,
you're not gonna force me away, oh no
All I've left is a past I'll enjoy while I last
I stay on and on and on and on and on

Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
  (Bullets have no meaning)
Rain's coming but there ain't no choice but lying
  (Bullets have no meaning)
buried with my feelings, bullets have no meaning

On and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
Rain's coming but there ain't no point in hiding
  (Bullets have no meaning)
Rain's coming but there ain't no choice but lying
  (Bullets have no meaning)
buried with my feelings, bullets have no meaning, no
Bullets have no meaning, bullets have no meaning

Rain's coming, the rain's coming
Rain's coming, rain's coming, yeah, rain's coming

Bullets

Here I stand in the pouring rain
I try to look up but my pride went down the drain
I believed the lies I was told
But never, no I never had control
 
In a bag I got all I've left
A photograph of a distant former self
Who paid no mind and played by the rules
Nothing, I got nothing, no, nothing to lose
 
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go, I won't go
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go away
Got a cause and got no fear, I've awakened from a dream
This time I've nothing to lose
 
My whole life thinking this was it
I worked so hard I almost forgot to live
Had to give more than I could take
Turns out that I'm nothing but a slave
 
This misery has got to end
It won't suffice to make amends
Need to subvert the status quo
 
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go, I won't go
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go away
Got a cause and got no fear, I've awakened from a dream
This time I've nothing to lose
 
No-one to blame cos it's said to be accidental
No-one to blame but I see you take it all, whatever happens
But hey, I don't understand, have we really no humanity left?
 
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go, I won't go
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go, I won't go
I don't have anything left to lose, but I won't go away
Got a cause and got no fear, I've awakened from a dream
This time I've nothing to lose
