verse 1

the world is watching you 
so can you tell us what we should do 
you know it all along 
now everything remaining's cavin' in on us 
i'm comin' around to see things like you see 'em 
but i've spent all my life on the brink, never leapin' 
now i'm comin' around to see things like you see 'em 
i'll be comin' around for something 

chorus 1

you've gotta believe it's not over 
'cause i've got a way you can stand it 
you've gotta believe it's not over 
'cause i've got a way 
comin' up, comin' up 
right now you're comin' up to me 
comin' up comin' up 
the beginning's near enough 
near enough to see 

verse 2 

am i alone in this 
if you give me proof then i will listen 
so if the heavens fall 
you can say i told you so and all 
i'm comin' around to see things like you see 'em 
but i've spent all my life as a king, never beaten 
and i'm comin' around to see things like you see 'em 
never comin' around for nothing 

chorus 2

you've gotta believe it's not over 
'cause i've got a way you can stand it 
you've gotta believe it's not over 
'cause i've got a way 
comin' up, comin' up 
right now you're comin' up to me 
comin' up comin' up 
the beginning's near enough to see 

bridge

it's been a long time 
feels like the fog is starting to clear 
this isn't design 
this is me letting go of my fear 
comin' around to see things like you see 'em 
but i, but i feel this life like a dream, can't believe it 
now i'm comin' back around to see things like you see 'em 
i'll be comin' around for something 

chorus 3

you've gotta believe it's not over 
'cause i've got a way you can stand it 
you've gotta believe it's not over 
'cause i've got a way 
comin' up, comin' up 
right now you're comin' up to me 
comin' up comin' up 
the beginning's near enough 
near enough to see

The Beginning Is Near (EP Version)

chorus 1
we are the victims of a faceless force
here in this moment and from life's first source
we have the power of a prisoner
and freedom in our chains

we are the enemies beneath these clouds
the only ones who say our names so proud
but from the tower of the riddler
remembering our place

verse 1
wake up in the night time, waiting for the sunrise
the sun it waits for me
in the beam of one eye, mortal in the spotlight
i run to make believe

will you tell me what i'm leaving, tell me 'cause i'm freezing
that there's another dawn
there's got to be some meaning if we can't stop the bleeding
the sun has almost gone

chorus 2
we are the victims of a faceless force
that in this moment we can see from earth
we have the power of a prisoner
and freedom in our chains (a prisoner)

we are the enemies beneath these clouds
the only ones who say our names so proud
but from the tower of the riddler
remembering our place (the riddler)

verse 2
and as i open up my eyes i wonder if they're still mine,
a shift in the paradigm
and as i'm coming back i realize, didn't fuckin' think twice
i'm stuck in a set design

to plant flag where it can be seen, can i mark the boundaries
the ones empowering
but when i'm hit with this illusion, to wrap up my contusions
i'm towering

chorus 3
we are the victims of a faceless force
that in this moment we can see from earth
we have the power of a prisoner
and freedom in our chains (a prisoner)

we are the enemies beneath these clouds
the only ones who say our names so proud
but from the tower of the riddler
remembering our place (the riddler)

bridge
sleepin' through the night time, go and let the sun rise
don't you wait on me
equality in all eyes, hidden from the spotlight
no longer make believe

getting up and leaving, shakin' off the freezing
what is another dawn
how can there be some meaning if we can't stop the bleeding
the sun is almost gone

chorus 4 
we are the victims of a faceless force
that in this moment we can see from earth
we have the power of a prisoner
and freedom in our chains (a prisoner)

we are the enemies beneath these clouds
the only ones who say our names so proud
but from the tower of the riddler
remember remember

The Riddler (EP Version)

verse 1
living in the looking glass
staring at the streaks and cracks 
with a martyr as a mask
hiding all the blues and blacks 
look away now

caught up in a thin disguise
too afraid of asking why
at the heart of every lie
another reason not to try
run away now

chorus 1
if you imagine disappearing
and disappear imagining it
as you look back through that window
see the you you haven't seen yet

verse 2
this is who and what you are
you can run but you won't get too far
put some muscle in your grind
hustle don't lose your mind
it's time to get down

something simple so divine
see it from the other side
wrestle with your pride
forgive all the living you denied 
make a way now

chorus 2
if you imagine disappearing
and disappear imagining
as you look back through that window
see the you you haven't seen yet
if you imagine disappearing
can you feel it happening
burning, building, earning the dream
of the you you've never seen

bridge
when i broke you down to build you up
didn't know what you might see
didn't know that i could be enough
without impossibilites


chorus 3
if you imagine disappearing
and disappear imagining
as you look back through that window
see the you you haven't seen yet
if you imagine disappearing
can you feel it happening
burning, building, earning the dream
of the you you've never seen

Imagine Disappearing (EP Version)

 
verse 1
a new machine
and a broken human being
in a futile mutual
last act of defiance

the final scene
a curtain cross the screen
and the ugly truth is told
that the hero must die

prechorus 1
chainsmoke celluloid 
brave enough to destroy
everything you never see when
it gets darker

soldier back from troy
lawman, king and cowboy
isn't that how everyone should  
see their father?

chorus 1
make me believe
in all of these dreams
never surrender, never retreat
into the sunset
cue the end theme
your great escape
my twist of fate
calling

verse 2
edge of my seat
'til the lesson was complete
wasn't how to beat a man
or to build my own weapons

reality
and my responsibility
was in how to be a man
to death from conception

prechorus 2
forge that golden boy 
brave enough to employ
everything you never see
when it gets darker

stories best as toys
give them up to find joy
knowing that i'm never gonna  
see my father

chorus 2
make me believe
in all of these dreams
never surrender, never retreat
into the sunset
cue the end theme
your great escape
my twist of fate
calling

bridge
bravely rise now
old me burned down
strangely this crown
(spoken)
is becoming so much more real,
and i know that isn't true
but a part of me feels a push 
and thinks it's you...is it you? (is it you?)

chorus 3
make me believe
in all of these dreams
never surrender, never retreat
into the sunset
i will not grieve
your great escape
my twist of fate
calling

Director (EP Version)

 verse 1
need to feel that high
make it better
whatever
playin' tough and cracking
soon enough i'm back in line
and weathered

waste another day
in the vial
denial
every second passing
knowing that i'm cast away
for miles

prechorus
break it up, break it in
breakin out, we're diggin in
turn it up, turn it in 
turn it out, we're going in
break it up

chorus 1
better days ahead
devil's in the shed
step into the ring and i'm
swingin' til the demons are dead
better days ahead
devil's in the shed 
step into the ring as my
better angels sing and i'm
swinging til' my demons are dead

verse 2
bastardized and thrown
on the doorstep 
of forces
strong enough to raise me
long enough to pave in stone
new courses

seen for who i am 
burn the liar
inspired
promenade the truth
like bowie in his boots
so damn
on fire

chorus 2
better days ahead
devil's in the shed
step into the ring and i'm
swingin' til the demons are dead
better days ahead
devil's in the shed 
step into the ring as my
better angels sing and i'm
swinging til' my demons are dead

bridge
independent a defendant of my right to be
an ascendant unrepentent that is walking free
independent a defendant of my right to be
an ascendant unrepentent that is walking free
had my vengeance so the present is the time to lead

chorus 3
better days ahead
devil's in the shed
step into the ring and i'm
swingin' til the demons are dead
i'm calling all angels
better days ahead
devil's in the shed 
step into the ring as my
better angels sing and i'm
swinging til' my demons are dead

Better Angels (EP Version)

 verse 1
drinkin away all these problems
won't solve 'em
but here's to you
a hundred proof

that it wouldn't drop you to your knees
so now we're hittin' the town
knockin' 'em down for now
we're stayin' out

prechorus 1
sorry we're not sorry
that we make the most of every dance
and if you fall and hit the floor
i'll pick you up again

the night is starry we are
legion like the lights above land
in these extraordinary numbers
we can make our stand

chorus 1
you can't keep a good man down
if you're down with me
change the way the world goes round
we can turn off gravity
never keep a good thing down
if you're down with me
change the way the world goes round
we can turn off gravity

verse 2
risin' above all this drama
to a calmer
cooler stance
and takin' our chance

but it wasn't good enough you
and now i'm trying to deal
tryin to heal the wounds
from fallin' through

prechorus 2
sorry i'm not sorry but i'll 
try and do the best that i can
but when it isn't good enough well,
it always is

your eyes are starry but you
know me like the back of your hand
we are extraordinary lovers
we can live like this 

chorus 2
you can't keep a good man down
if you're down with me
change the way the world goes round
we can turn off gravity
never keep a good thing down
if you're down with me
change the way the world goes round
we can turn off gravity

bridge
the world keeps spinning round and round
we can turn off gravity
the world keeps spinning round and round
shake these earthly forces
the world keeps spinning round and round
bring us closer towards the universe inside of me
tune the stars so we can see

chorus 3
you can't keep a good man down
if you're down with me
change the way the world goes round
we can turn off gravity
never keep a good thing down
if you're down with me
change the way the world goes round
we can turn off gravity
