Do you really think
That pills you're taking
Are actually working?

Don't really wanna feel
That this is everything
Like something's missing

Trust in me
And close your eyes
I'll teach you to breathe
For the very first time
Yeah, trust in me
And close your eyes
I'll teach you to breathe
For the very first time

Did everything right
Followed the instructions
Or was it just advice?
Or deception after all?

Trust in me
And close your eyes
I'll teach you to breathe
For the very first time
Yeah, trust in me
And close your eyes
I'll teach you to breathe
For the very first time

I want to purify the vanity from your mind
I want to occupy the emptiness
I want to purify the vanity from your mind
I want to occupy the emptiness, that emptiness inside

Trust in me
And close your eyes
I'll teach you to breathe
For the very first time
Yeah, trust in me
And close your eyes
I'll teach you to breathe
For the very first time

I want to purify the vanity from your mind
I want to occupy the emptiness
I want to purify the vanity from your mind
I want to occupy the emptiness, that emptiness inside

Trust In Me

When I was a child, I did not foresee this day
A world restyled, made up of the machine's decay
We left it on too long; Will it all just boil away?
A sense of right and wrong to escape the cold and grey

Gotta plan, gotta brand, gotta take a stand for reality
I don't wanna cheer, wanna hear, wanna fear those sugarcoated words
They are only said, only read, only bred to inspire apathy
Doing nothing only makes it worse
Gotta plan, gotta brand, gotta take a stand

There is a bit of hope, a break for the sun to shine through
It is easy to cope, just as long as I have you

Gotta plan, gotta brand, gotta take a stand for reality
I don't wanna cheer, wanna hear, wanna fear those sugarcoated words
They are only said, only read, only bred to inspire apathy
Doing nothing only makes it worse
Gotta plan, gotta brand, gotta take a stand

We thought that we could live this way
And never ever ever have to pay
We thought that we could live this way
And never ever ever have to pay

Gotta plan, gotta brand, gotta take a stand for reality
I don't wanna cheer, wanna hear, wanna fear those sugarcoated words
They are only said, only read, only bred to inspire apathy
Doing nothing only makes it worse
Gotta plan, gotta brand, gotta take a stand


Take A Stand

Close down; Shut down
Force me to see in digital
The analog reality feels as fake as the people I meet there

Plug in; Turn on
Enjoy the clarity of HD
And it doesn't matter what I say, because I don't have to be me

Do you wanna be loved?
Wanna be hated?
Wanna be viewed?
Wanna be rated?
Do you wanna be loved?
Wanna be appreciated?
Wanna be used?
Wanna be satiated?

Information overload
She might just be an illegal copy
The airbrush is like the confidence that she paints on her face every day
I'm so happy for her now
She has oh so many friends
But she forgets that she's not herself when she clicks on "send"

Do you wanna be loved?
Wanna be hated?
Wanna be viewed?
Wanna be rated?
Do you wanna be loved?
Wanna be appreciated?
Wanna be used?
Wanna be satiated?

Real
Reality
Reality is over
Real
Reality
Reality is overrated

Do you wanna be loved?
Wanna be hated?
Wanna be viewed?
Wanna be rated?
Do you wanna be loved?
Wanna be appreciated?
Wanna be used?
Wanna be satiated?

Reality

Wishing to keep from passing through
These states of anxiety and uncertainty

Hold on to your memory
Of what's real and what's certain to be true
True, I've let you down before
But no more
Now relax; Find peace of mind

Mind yourself
Hush now, babe
Now lie down
Don't feel rundown
Let me release your tension the way you like me to

Hold on to your memory
Of what's real and what's certain to be true
True, I've let you down before
But no more
Now relax; Find peace of mind

I have you right now
You are safe in my arms
And never forget that I'm here
For I have you right now
You are safe in my arms
And never forget that I'm here
For I have you right now
You are safe in my arms
And never forget that I'm here
For I have you right now
You are safe in my arms
And never forget that I'm here for you

I Have You

There was a time when I could have had my dreams come true
But I lost my grip; I let you fall through
I really do hope you landed well
But maybe it was your fault you fell
And there's no point to my calling
You are stalling

Choosing to keep tumbling through the air
Spinning down to no one knows where

Along with hailstones and snow and rain
Yearning for brimstone or autumn leaves again

I'm sorry that my apologies will never mend what's been broken

Falling from grace again
Burning in the sky
Crawling through hell again
Living to live the lie

It's a long way down
To crash to the ground
Maybe someone did catch you
And it's me that's falling through

Falling from grace again
(I'm sorry that my apologies will never mend what's been broken)
Burning in the sky
(I'm sorry that my apologies will never mend what's been broken)
Crawling through hell again
(I'm sorry that my apologies will never mend what's been broken)
Living to live the lie
(I'm sorry that my apologies will never mend what's been broken)

Falling

Like it was a movie,
I feel like it was not me
I see you, see you clearly,
But time heals, time heals strangely

There's only you 
There's only you
There's only you
There's only...

Thought of what could have been
I feel like I've been here before
So, let me, set me free now
Love me, leave me be


There's only you 
There's only you
There's only you
There's only you...

Now that all the parts have been pieced back together,
But put back a different way
Somehow it all still fits
I don't understand
Somehow it is okay, and somehow now we're here to stay


I did this to me
I say goodbye
I did this all to myself
I say goodbye to everyone I used to be

There's only you 
There's only you
There's only you
There's only you...

Now that all the parts have been pieced back together
But put back a different way
Somehow it all still fits
I don't understand
Somehow it is okay
Somehow we're here to stay

Somehow

Falling (Remix)

Red Queen (Remix)

Caught in a catch-22
Not really sure what to do
Doubting your self-analytical review
Making time more difficult

Let you let you go
Let you let you go

You're on a hiding to nothing
You have your world on a string
Your alarm bells should start to ring
You can't do everything
You can't do nothing

Caught in a catch-22
Not really sure what to do
Doubting your self-analytical review
Making time more difficult

Let you let you go
Let you let you go

You're on a hiding to nothing
You have your world on a string
Your alarm bells should start to ring
You can't do everything
You can't do nothing
(Show you the door; give you the key
Leave the shadow, and you might see)

Catch-22

Back to the streets we played
Clouds cast a yellow shade
Threads are bare
Everywhere needs repair

Rainwater sticks to skin
Coating the gears within
Take the trust
Store away
Rust again
New days will begin

We're not from the mountain
Olympus was not made for us
We're not from the mountain
Where more than leaves grow on trees

We were not born with that silver-spoon cocktail
Midas didn't touch the hand that feeds
Life on the breadline gets old and cold and stale,
But none of that set us back
None of that set us back!

(hey hey)
We're a-doin' what we do and
(hey hey)
Not what you told us to
Our gears are turning on their own
We wind up, tear down 
You're overthrown
You're washed up, worn down
We're not alone
(hey hey)
We're not alone

We're not from the mountain
Olympus was not made for us
We're not from the mountain
Where more than leaves grow on trees

We were not born with that silver-spoon cocktail
Midas didn't touch the hand that feeds
Life on the breadline gets old and cold and stale,
But none of that set us back
None of that set us back!

All of that set us free!
Our time cannot be taken away
(Take us away)
All of that set us free!
Our time cannot be taken away
(Take us away)

(hey hey)
We're a-doin' what we do and
(hey hey)
Not what you told us to
Our gears are turning on their own
We wind up, tear down 
You're overthrown
You're washed up, worn down
We're not alone
(hey hey)
We're not alone

Back to the streets we played
Cloud cast a yellow shade
Threads are bare
Everywhere needs repair

Rainwater cleans the skin
Washes the core within
Spreading shine
Intertwined
Not alone
Bringing us back home.
