Bombs

Have you nothing to believe in?
Have you no reason left at all?
We are all up to our necks,
And no one knows how to swim
Is this the call to arms?
Are we the chosen few?
Has the empire finally come crashing down?
Where will we stand?
Where will we sleep?
When all the wolves have finally been turned to sheep
We are all falling bombs
We all hit the ground running

Sleepwalking

For you I'll sleep standing
For you I won't be vacant
For you I don't play games
For you I'll burn the ocean
For you I am eager
For you I have a voice
For you I'll tear down the sky
For you I'll cast no shadow
For you I'll tell lies
For you I'll burn the bridge
For you I'll grow older
For you I am television
For you I'd buy heaven
For you I'd see this through
For you I'll fight the morning
For you to sleep at night
Burn the holes into our jeans
Burning holes inside our dreams
Sleepwalking to the railroad station
We're alive when the sidewalk screams
A masquerade until the final scene
Sleepwalking to the railroad station
And when it's over
When there's nothing left
Bury me in this neon casket
I'll watch the wires
They stretch for miles
I'll watch the whole world get smaller
Never again
I'll never walk these streets again
Dig our graves inside ourselves
A burial plot for no one else
Sleepwalking to the railroad station
Where are you going it's understood
Running won't do us any good
Sleepwalking to the railroad station
I'm alive and that's all I have
A brave new world with worn out hands
Sleepwalking to end of the line
Sleepwalking until the end of time

Apathy
03:18
|

Who, who could this be?
This separation it isn't working
But you, you were such a fool
When we were young
Always running away from me
This is paralysis
A one way ticket to nowhere
I am nothing, I am made of stone
I count the planes in the sky,
But you're not on any of them
I'm going blind but I can't fall asleep
When I'm there standing on the edge
Will you come for me?
But you, you were such a fool when we were young
I scream at the top of my lungs, but
No one is ever listening
This is complacency
I walk down these streets to nowhere
I'm going blind, but I can't turn off my TV
I count the planes in the sky
But you're not on any of them
I'm going blind, but I can't fall asleep

Do you remember?
I woke to tell you, that the house was burning
Where have I seen this?
It was all in a dream, and we were falling
Where are my children?
I left them in baskets, and they're lining the freeway
Is it winter yet?
The air is cold, the moon is low, and I'm still breathing
Will you hear this song?
If I don't sing it?

Fall

We can't keep these trains from running
We can't keep these planes from crashing
We can't keep these cars from moving
We can't keep the world from turning

Riot, please

This should only take fifteen minutes and
I have said all of this before
We all take our photographs
But who has time for that?
So kick down the doors, crash all the cars, just keep dancing until the city's ours
We are the riot race
We are the sky
Go get the kids and let's start a fight
We were the same when we were young
We all saw strangers in the mirror
We drove the same streets in our cars
And we burned our bridges well
So kick down the doors, crash all the cars, just keep marching until the city's ours
We are the riot race
We are the sound
Go get the kids and let's bring it down
The men in suits they keep listening
And the president he sure looks guilty
But the show must go on
Strike up the bandwagon
We'll ride it all the way downtown
Outside there's a real world
Outside there's a war
Outside we're all the same
Outside we're on our own

The sky is bleeding through his hands
He falls and breaks into pieces
I see his seven smiling children
When one turns to me to say
This is the way it's hanging from the ceiling
Our lullabies tell us keep marching
As the city burns, will we run screaming?
I welcome the end with my war paint on
I am nothing without you
