LYRICS
A Love So Crazy
Down by the still waters
Broken lives can heal
I taste the blood so beautiful
That it brings me to my knees
It never runs out
It never runs dry
I know it’s gonna break the chains
That hold me down to die
It never runs out
It never runs dry
I know it’s gonna break the chains
And raise me to the sky
Cos this is a love so crazy
I can’t understand
And though I can’t comprehend it
It just keeps on washing over me
Love that will last eternally
Free as the air I breathe
This is a gift we can’t justify
We are children, innocent and clean
​
It never runs out
It never runs dry
I know it’s gonna break the chains
That hold me down to die
It never runs out
It never runs dry
I know it’s gonna break the chains
And raise me to the sky
Cos this is a love so crazy
I can’t understand
And though I can’t comprehend it
It just keeps on washing over me
Perfectly surrounded, it is holding me
This is what I live for, this is heavenly
Perfectly surrounded, it is holding me
This is what I live for, this is heavenly
Cos this is a love so crazy
I can’t understand
And though I can’t comprehend it
It just keeps on washing over me
Afraid of the Light
See the light that falls before me
We don’t want to see what the truth could be
So we say draw the curtains when the morning comes
We don’t want the Son to come and stop the fun so we say
Oh don’t come into the light and it will be alright
No exhibition of what we want to hide
And we are people of the night
Don’t think about what’s right
Just close your eyes and choose your own reality
Oh no, don’t be afraid
Living can change
We’ll be made perfect once again
I said open your eyes
And look to the skies
And see how much you’re worth
All the questions that we have in this life
Don’t need answering, we don’t want compromising
Can’t we just pretend there’s nothing to know
So that we can do whatever we want to
And oh don’t come into the light and it will be alright
No exhibition of what we want to hide
And we are people of the night
Don’t think about what’s right
Just close your eyes and choose your own reality
Oh no, don’t be afraid
Living can change
We’ll be made perfect once again
I said open your eyes
And look to the skies
And see how much you’re worth
You know it could’ve been
You know it could’ve been greater than you ever imagined
You know that you could be
The light for all to see
Please don’t let your fear stop you from singing
Oh no, don’t be afraid
Living can change
We’ll be made perfect once again
I said open your eyes
And look to the skies
And see how much you’re worth
Can you think for yourself now, honey?
Have a look and you might find something
Can you think for yourself now, honey?
Have a look and you might find something
Bad dreams running wild
And darkness amplified
But you still see the smile
I want you to see
They won’t recognise
The pain you try to hide
And you keep telling lies
To keep them at peace
But it’s cold inside
The mind that once could set the sky alight
At night black velvet swallows you
And can you think of what it might be like
If you felt nauseous every time you smiled?
Just an off-hand comment eats you up inside
But is it all inside your mind?
And it’s been so long but it won’t let go
It’s a mad world but it’s all you know
You can’t feel love but you know it’s close
So come on, wire it up, watch it glow
Put on another show
It’s too hard to control
This broken electric soul
It’s too much, I don’t know
If I can be free
But you know you’ll survive
You’ve been here a hundred times
But still it’s hard to find
Desire to be
​
But it’s cold inside
The mind that once could set the sky alight
At night black velvet swallows you
And can you think of what it might be like
If you felt nauseous every time you smiled?
Just an off-hand comment eats you up inside
But is it all inside your mind?
And it’s been so long but it won’t let go
It’s a mad world but it’s all you know
You can’t feel love but you know it’s close
So come on, wire it up, watch it glow
Put on another show
It’s just a big blank space so colour me in
I wanna feel something so I won’t dive in
Look what a mess you made all covered in sin
And have you lost yourself cos you wanted to sing
And it’s been so long but it won’t let go
It’s a mad world but it’s all you know
You can’t feel love but you know it’s close
So come on, wire it up, watch it glow
Put on another show
Dust
Will someone wake me when
When I can start to breathe again?
My days they feel so strange
I can’t get used to you not there
But I won’t give up
And I won’t break down
I know I’m stronger than the bond we’ve torn apart
No I won’t give up
But I might break down
Cos I am hurting and it’s too much for one heart
Hope turns to dust
Just pieces of a broken life
Before I rewrite my heart
I just wanna know how you are
I just wanna know how you are
Can I break free from this?
Two hearts so deeply intertwined
Each time I think I’m fine
Another little detail comes to mind
No I can’t see a time
When all won’t be compared to you
Do you believe in one true love?
Cos I would say that I used to
No you don’t see the way I do
I’m sorry if you thought I ever lied to you
I know you wish
I hadn’t changed
Why did it take so long to see we’re not the same?
Hope turns to dust
Just pieces of a broken life
Before I rewrite my heart
I just wanna know how you are
I just wanna know how you are
And when I close my eyes
I still remember how it feels
To trace my fingers on your face
I still know every single detail
Like I’ve never left that place
And every time I think I’m fine
I picture you with someone new
And I feel sick cos you’re not mine
Oh was this all a waste of time?
Hope turns to dust
Just pieces of a broken life
I can’t just rewrite my heart
Decide to just fall out of love
Seven months we’ve been apart
I just wanna know how you are
I just wanna know how you are
Enigma
I’m the one that makes your head spin
Bring you under cos my voice is hypnotising
I will be your new fixation
Hold you down with fascination
I’ll take you to the edge
Welcome to my broken mind of dystopia
I’ll make you feel something you have never felt before
Enter in through my eyes
You’ll be slipping through my mind in no time
Mystified and mesmerised
I see things that you would not believe
It’s extraordinary
I dream in dimensions that you've never seen
Melodies that echo from within
They’re calling me deeper again
I’ll make you go insane
Trying to figure out the enigma of my mind
You will find
Something you can’t explain
A mystery inside
Don't be shy and don’t be blind
I’ll take you to the edge
There is more to me than meets the eye
I’ll have you wrapped around my finger Svengali-like
Keep you guessing, keep you gripped
Keep you magnetised
I’m the mastermind and I’ll thrive
I’ll take you to the edge
​
Grab a hold, don't be scared to join the mystery
I’ll show you secrets that have lasted through the centuries
I’m alive but I’m building on my legacy
Seventh Heaven is my home, it’s enlightening
Beauty is not necessary
You can do everything
Better to be something fascinating
All you need is some insanity
Cos nothing is normal with me
Beauty is not necessary
You can do everything
Better to be something fascinating
All you need is some insanity
Cos nothing is normal with me
I’ll make you go insane
Trying to figure out the enigma of my mind
You will find
Something you can’t explain
A mystery inside
Don't be shy and don’t be blind
I’ll take you to the edge
I’ll make you go insane
Trying to figure out the enigma of my mind
You will find
Something you can’t explain
A mystery inside
Don't be shy and don’t be blind
I’ll take you to the edge
Fake Smiles
Bright eyes, long hair
And a radiant smile
Cool air, no cares
And a laugh that could cry
Outside on fire
But you won’t let them in
I can see you’ve
Painted something paper thing
And when all of the lights go out
I’m here with you
When all of your dreams are lost
I’m here with you
So let me break your walls
Make you see that I will not let go
Lay your armour down and let me in close
It ain’t weak to let your scars be shown
I won’t let you fight this war alone
Locked up, weighted down
By a perfect facade
Slow down, reach in
Deeper than you ever have
Dark scars covered up
Do they know where you’ve been?
Fragile glass heart
But opaque skin
And when all of the lights go out
I’m here with you
When all of your dreams are lost
I’m here with you
And when all of the lights go out
I’m here with you
In all of your brokenness
I’m here with you
So let me break your walls
Make you see that I will not let go
Lay your armour down and let me in close
It ain’t weak to let your scars be shown
I won’t let you fight this war alone
Fake smiles, no tears
There is nothing wrong with me
Strong shields, force fields
Superficial topics please
Pretty pictures, good sides
Heads that teem with our best lies
Everything is rosy till you
Get up close and look inside
This life
What a mess but I guess
That it’s fine if we can hide
All the smoke and the mirrors
Make everything alright
But I want you to see
There’s more to me
Will you show me your demons
If I show you mine
So let me break your walls
Make you see that I will not let go
Lay your armour down and let me in close
It ain’t weak to let your scars be shown
I won’t let you fight this war alone
Game Over
Hey honey
Why do you feel like you're missing the mark?
Are you careful what you see honey
And are you aware of what is kept in the dark?
Hey honey
I feel your frustration nothing’s figuring out
You feel you’re running out of time honey
And everything that you say must be something profound
Oooh, welcome to earth
Where all the people raise a glass for the camera
Oooh, nobody told you what to say
When you’re asked for the truth, oh no
And you feel that you’ve done it all wrong
Have you reached game over?
Do you wanna start over?
So here you are at 23 honey
And what you believed is slowly falling apart
You’re no longer so naive honey
But you’re disillusioned by the lack of applause
Just give me what I want
But be careful that you
Don’t turn cynical of miracles
Oooh, welcome to earth
Where all the people raise a glass for the camera
Oooh, nobody told you what to say
When you’re asked for the truth, oh no
And you feel that you’ve done it all wrong
Have you reached game over?
Do you wanna start over?
I am
Going insane in a
Life so mundane
I need to be
Entertained
But I’ve seen all this before
Instant
Gratification is the
Expectation for this
Generation
My world is custom made
To please me
Oooh, welcome to earth
Where all the people raise a glass for the camera
Oooh, nobody told you what to say
When you’re asked for the truth, oh no
And you feel that you’ve done it all wrong
Have you reached game over?
Do you wanna start over?
Goodbye
Oh, for a life I have found it so divine
But there is a time when we have to say goodbye
Darling I know it's true
your kindness has brought me through
and what can I give to you that would ever do
​
Don't say the words that I can't return
Let silence speak a thousand words
I know your heart and I've held your world
I’ll leave with more than I've ever earned
​
Wherever you go, oh
I’ll be the air that you breathe
Presence you feel
And I'll know, oh
Though you're afraid of your grief
With time you will heal
And you'll grow in the face of loss
Even though lovers be lost
Our love shall not be in vain, oh
Either awake or asleep
I'll remember how your arms feel
​
​
Oh, if we tried we’d be lost for hours on end
This depth of goodbye, it is better left unsaid
I'm scared that I can't control
The changing of what we know
I’m feeling my heart unfold
As I'm letting you go
​
Don't say the words that I can't return
Let silence speak a thousand words
​
So say a prayer for me as I go
I head on to the wild unknown
My brim-filled heart, it quivers so
As it bears the weight that a world can’t know
​
Wherever you go, oh
I’ll be the air that you breathe
Presence you feel
And I'll know, oh
Though you're afraid of your grief
With time you will heal
And you'll grow in the face of loss
Even though lovers be lost
Our love shall not be in vain, oh
​
And you'll grow in the face of loss
Even though lovers be lost
Our love shall not be in vain, oh
Either awake or asleep
Guns With Guns
Everybody’s on the good side
In their own mind
Open up your eyes
Shut down your pride
And you might just find
An empathetic state of mind
You see ignorance breeds hate
It’s unknown so it’s a threat
No desire to educate
I just keep hearing them say
We’ll fight guns with guns
We’ll fight death with death
We’re not the ones at fault
We are the victims left
So we light up the sky
Attempt to pacify
Can that be true
Or just a way to justify
What we do?
Everybody is a good guy
The self-righteous can be blind
Open up your eyes
To see these lies
Another way to colonise
You see ignorance breeds hate
It’s unknown so it’s a threat
No desire to educate
I just keep hearing them say
​
We’ll fight guns with guns
We’ll fight death with death
We’re not the ones at fault
We are the victims left
So we light up the sky
Attempt to unify
Can that be true
Or just a way to justify
What we’ve done?
What we’ve done
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done, what have we done?
Do you know that they'd give it all
To go back
To go back?
You don't know how to see the world
It’s broken
It’s broken
So we’ll fight guns with guns
We’ll fight death with death
We’re not the ones at fault
We are the victims left
Hosanna
They say it’s all hard work
Just keep pushing and you’ll make it
With a little bit of luck
Have I even got what it takes
Or should I give it up?
I’m going nowhere fast
But I was too caught up
I forgot about the war going on within myself
Been giving over to the thing that’s a gift
With a prodigal intent
Go running home now
Because the world is tough
And you thought that you’d be good enough
But your feet keep stumbling
Till you fall on the ground
But now there’s nothing left but
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna till the end of time
So will you take me back
Cos I’m only ever good enough when I ask you that
I need a reason for the things that I do
And where I’m at
Go running home now
Because the world is tough
And you thought that you’d be good enough
But your feet keep stumbling
Till you fall on the ground
But now there’s nothing left but
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna till the end of time
But one cuts off his ear and one kills himself
Putting their restless minds through hell
Respect from the world is hard to find
But looking above breeds a satisfied mind
I know you’ll keep me going
I know you’ll keep me going
I know you’ll keep me going
I know you’ll keep me going
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna Hosanna
Oh Hosanna till the end of time
Human Condition(ing)
My head, it goes around in circles
Relentless, unending
My head, it knows that I am human
Unconscious, conforming
Are we the last of id-mind
Superego’s tight bind
Taking our humanity
To artificial mankind
Cos I can feel inside of me
Dystopia is where I long to be
I need to scream, I can’t break free
Malfunctioning society
This war of freedom and conditioning
Imperfect balancing
Control me, just take me and just use me
Do I need treated for your conformity?
Once shy, twice blind
Freedom that I can’t find
And I cry, I cry
Enemies in my mind
Inside
Cos I can feel inside of me
Psychosis taking over me
I need to see so anarchy
This violence is all that I can see
I have this war
Inside
Loose Ends
How do you make sense of it all?
The loose ends and the questions that have you up against the wall?
If I could understand just one more thing
I’d ask the unknown reason for this suffering
Darling, your life is like a tapestry
You gaze upon from underneath
But all you see are threads and strings
Hanging loose, so you can’t see
The beauty seen from up above
The finished picture made from love
The other side your Father sees
Complete in its entirety
Trying to find a reason in the fear
The chaos and the overwhelming need for something clear
If you had understood the whole way through
You’d have no need for faith, you would rely on only you
You’d have no need for faith, you would rely on only you
Darling, your life is like a tapestry
You gaze upon from underneath
But all you see are threads and strings
Hanging loose, so you can’t see
The beauty seen from up above
The finished picture made from love
The other side your Father sees
Complete in its entirety
It may not look like anything yet
It may not feel like it’s okay yet
But be patient, my dear
Have faith in the year
For all is worked together for good
Darling, your life is like a tapestry
You gaze upon from underneath
But all you see are threads and strings
Hanging loose, so you can’t see
The beauty seen from up above
The finished picture made from love
The other side your Father sees
Complete in its entirety
Need To Feel
Mother
Can you hear me?
Am I bleeding?
No I can’t work out what’s wrong, oh
Brother
Are you near me
There’s no feeling
All my insides feel so numb, oh
Ooh I’m choking on dreams of a past life
Stumbling round with a sharp knife
Staying awake till the first light, inside
Ooh I’m feeling caught up in a landslide
Fifty-two weeks of alone time
Wanting the fear of a fast ride
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel something there
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel again
Father
Do you see me?
I’m not breathing
And I pray before it’s too late you
Discover
That I’m grieving
For no reason
Just an empty vessel longing for some
​
Life, dancing around like it’s all fine
You see me laugh in the sunshine
Desperate plea for a lifeline, inside
Ooh I constantly feel like I’m losing
I don’t know if I can do this
I just can’t face being human
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel something there
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel again
We’ve got all we need to be free from our sin
All of the glitter and jam jars of gin
You’re holding my hand as we’re dancing to Slim
It’s a cool night
Hold tight
You and me, we’re always running through life
Iridescent, fluorescent and sparkling with light
Laughing and crying and painting our smiles
It’s a cruel life
Hold tight
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel something there
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel again
Not Myself
I was lost, I was trapped in a fantasy
Heaven help me, I’m tired and I want to leave
There are walls all around that I cannot see
Closing in till I’m gone, till I cannot breathe
All the lights are
Trying to call me
I’d be gone in another life but
I am falling
And I like it
Drowning in the sea
And I am not myself
Can’t understand what’s happening to me
And only sleep can pull me out
I live in dreams and memories
And I want this life to tear me up
Exploding into melody
And I tell myself it’s worth it all
As long as you remember me
Don’t be sad that I’m gone for a little while
I’ll be back soon again with a stitched up smile
Yeah, my head is a bomb and it’s been rewired
But I have no regrets asking for a trial
All the lights are
Trying to call me
I’d be gone in another life but
I am falling
And I like it
Drowning in the sea
And I am not myself
Can’t understand what’s happening to me
And only sleep can pull me out
I live in dreams and memories
And I want this life to tear me up
Exploding into melody
And I tell myself it’s worth it all
As long as you remember me
​
And I’m here in the valley of the shadow of death
But he won’t seem to talk to me
It’s a brand new place that I’ve never been
So excuse me I’m not ready to leave
And I’m here in the valley of the shadow of death
But he won’t seem to talk to me
It’s a brand new place that I’ve never been
So excuse me I’m not ready to leave
​
I am not myself
Can’t understand what’s happening to me
And only sleep can pull me out
I live in dreams and memories
And I want this life to tear me up
Exploding into melody
And I tell myself it’s worth it all
As long as you remember me
Poison
Are you deadening your mind?
Feeding thoughts of things unkind?
They make you fit between the lines
Are you numb to what’s inside?
Oh we don't care if there’s no substance
Gold-plated trash will do just fine
The only thing we bring is judgement
To see if you fit the design
They tell me who I want to be
Now there’s nothing more to me
Two-dimensionality
Cut me open you will see
There is nothing in between
Superficiality
You got to learn to let go
Of the poison in your brain
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to learn to let go
Don’t you know it’s all a game
(Are they controlling ya)
You obey and you comply
Intelligence is compromised
Are we ever asking why?
Or are we living in denial?
Do you know it’s all just lies
Multiplying in your mind
Yet they cheapen your desires
Are they trying to control
Every thought that you propose?
Are we all becoming clones?
You got to learn to let go
Of the poison in your brain
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to learn to let go
Don’t you know it’s all a game
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to learn to let go
Of the poison in your brain
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to realise oh
You’ve been taught to play their game
(Are they controlling ya)
Yea, you've been taught to play their game
You've been taught to play their game
You've been taught to play their game
You got to learn to let go
Of the poison in your brain
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to learn to let go
Don’t you know it’s all a game
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to learn to let go
Of the poison in your brain
(Are they controlling ya)
You got to realise oh
You’ve been taught to play their game
(Are they controlling ya)
