If the world does turn,
And if London burns,
I'll be standing on a beach with my guitar.
I want to be in a band when I get to heaven,
Anyone can play guitar and they won't,
Be a nothing anymore.
Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.
Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game
So beautiful, beautiful, it's a beautiful lie
Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town;
Many the lives we lived in each day,
And buried altogether.
Don't laugh at me,
Don't look away...
You'll follow me back,
With the sun in your eyes,
And on your own,
Bedshaped...
And legs of stone.
I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
(We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
Pushes me away

I'm searchin' for a way out,
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer

The pain and the creeping feeling little black haired girl,
Waiting for Saturday the death of her father pushing her,
Pushing her white face into the mirror,
Aching inside me,
And turn me round,
Just like the old days,
Just like the old days,
Just like the old days,
Just like the old days.
A hundred years of blood,
Crimson,
The ribbon tightens round my throat,
I open my mouth and my head bursts open,
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water,
Thrashing in the water,
Over and over we die one after the other.
Over and over we die one after the other.
One after the other,
One after the other,
One after the other,
One after the other.
It feels like a hundred years,
A hundred years,
A hundred years,
A hundred years,
A hundred years.
Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.
I'm not always like this
It's something I've become
A terrible weakness
In my nature, in my blood
Save me, oh save me
Save me from myself
Before I hurt somebody else again
Domino motion
Jump starts when we touch
A blackout approaching
Here it comes now, wish me luck
It's all over, it's all over, it's all over in a flash
I can't remember what have I done now?
Go, go, faster wider
More, more get it down
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering clouds
Go, go faster wider
More more get it down
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering clouds
Oh, my head hurts
Oh dear, oh dear
It's all over the papers
And the TV, wagging tongues
The artist's impression looks
Just like me, only better
Don't blame me, don't maim me
I can't help what I am
Oh, Lord knows I've tried to
Go, go, faster wider
More, more get it down, yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering clouds
Go, go faster wider
More more get it down, yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering clouds
Go, go, faster wider
More, more get it down yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering clouds
Go, go faster wider
More more get it down yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering clouds
Glittering clouds
Glittering clouds
Go
More
Dance

You say you had your heart broken,
What a stupid little thing to do...
Now you're tied to a train track,
But I'm a gonna come
and rescue you. Make no mistake,
I'll do whatever it takes.
To get over these walls,
High up in the atmosphere!
If I could catapult my heart...
What's the empire for?
Ooh I'm gonna get you outta here If I could catapult my heart,
To where you are...
I understand the fascination
I've even been there once or twice or more
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there
And lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the darkness I've become
I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me,
I think I took too much. I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun...
I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch, I can't stay on your morphine
'Cause it's making me itch.
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch, I think I'll get outta here, where I can....
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere,
To the middle of my frustrated fears, And I swear you're just like a pill,
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill,
You keep makin' me ill...
I haven't moved from the spot where you left me,
This must be a bad trip.
All of the other pills, they weren't different, Maybe I should get some help.
I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine
'Cause it's making me itch.
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch,

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere,
To the middle of my frustrated fears,
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill...
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down
Even though I might, even thought I try, I can't
Even though I might, even thought I try, I can't
So many things that keep, that keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now I'll be gutted like I've never been before
Just one more time before I go
I'll let you know
That all this time I've been afraid
Wouldn't let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now
Stars are only visible in darkness
Fear is ever-changing and evolving
And I have been poisoned inside
But I, I feel so alive
Nobody can save me now
The king is crowned
It's do or die
Nobody can save me now
The only sound
Is the battle cry
Is the battle cry
Is the battle cry
Nobody can save me now
It's do or die...
Oh
Nobody can save me now
The king is crowned
It's do or die
Nobody can save me now
The only sound
Is the battle cry
Is the battle cry
Is the battle cry
Nobody can save me now
It's do or die...
Just one more time before I go
I'll let you know
That all this time I've been afraid
Wouldn't let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now

Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide?
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside
