Inflict me
Predict me
Show me what I shouldn't know
Release me
Entice me
Show me where I cannot go
So heal me
Don't cut me
Please fill me up with pain
Heal me
Don't fight me
I always want to feel the same
Because I don't want to live in this light
And I don't want to see the sunshine
I just want to feel the darkness
Burning away my innocence
At least if
I'm honest
I will never let you down
Come live
In my world
Let's run away from this town
So speak to me
Don't listen
To the words I say
Plug me in
Charge me up
Today will be my day
Because I don't want to live in this light
And I don't want to see the sunshine
I just want to feel the darkness
Burning away my innocence
Let's colour outside of the lines
Let's make up some plans but never find the time
Finish me
Reluctance
I'm not your voodoo doll
Extinguish me
The off chance
That I should start to fall
The new start
Is ending
It never has begun
The last stand
I'll sit out
Watching is more fun
Because I don't want to live in this light
And I don't want to see the sunshine
I just want to feel the darkness
Burning away my innocence

Home insurance we'll pay you
Taxidermist because death won't do
Illiterates and what they're worth
Don't pay no bills to the universe
Social sitcom needs some brains
being forced to submit and forced to behave
you're a white bandana not allowed to stop
and if you leave right now, they'll take your hands off the clock
Your life is so so fickle
in the political eye
So understanding little
will leave you out to die
There's something in the water
There's something in the sky
Nuclear transponder,
Will leave you asking why?
Energy consumers are not cash cows
but you've beaten the consumer when you're wearing a crown
Alcohol may pass regular prices but crime and money have got their own devices
Trust insurance to see you through
Stay passive because that will do
Dimbleby gets first tattoo
But a corporation media is telling untrue
Your life is so so fickle
in the political eye
So understanding little
will leave you out to die
There's something in the water
There's something in the sky
Nuclear transponder,
Will leave you asking why?
I need somebody to see me cry
Attention seeking that is aye
The picture of your body cast in a coffin
Dead and gone and eventually forgotten
A punk rock home with hip hop prices
musical genre uses metaphors lightly
I got a red bandana around my head
but rebellion agenda is always left unsaid
Your life is so so fickle
in the political eye
So understanding little
will leave you out to die
There's something in the water
There's something in the sky
Nuclear transponder,
Will leave you asking: why?

I like the thrill of the panic
I like to take me away
Ears with ringing full of static
Makes me forget about today
I am a fool in laughter
And I'm a sucker for the pain
With a head that likes to feel disaster
Am I just growing as the same
The same who fell repressed as well
I can't stop it controlling me
Personal hell, depressed as well
The brain is such a complex thing
With a perception that only sees outside
it's unknowing that brings fear alive
And I don't care about the superficial
I just just care about what I know is real
But I've locked myself in this reactor
All I can feel is like an actor
And I can see where I'm going
The end in sight is all I'm knowing
Death at the door, I understand it more
It's a release from all emotion
Darkened days, need to praised
It's a release from any knowing
And Know, I want to Know
And no I don't want to know
And Know, I want to grow
And no, I don't want to grow

Hit the flame and set me on fire
Waste our days by making history
Slap my head and call me a lair
Force my mind into this misery
Forty tears and a massive block of time
You're the one that's going to break my mind
Red jacket
Strange habit
We've got our backs against the wall
Abuse it
Don't lose it
The flag you're flying will kill us all
Record timing under a hour
This complication is contemplating me
Straight to the corner, curl and cower
This place is unset with powers that be
Forty tears and a massive block of time
You're the one that's going to break my mind
Red jacket
Strange habit
We've got our backs against the wall
Abuse it
Don't lose it
The flag you're flying will kill us all

I know there's reason in hesitation
I can't believe it has gone this far
I can't seem to close the windows
I don't hear the radio playing art
And all this music came from the sun
A billion tunes that became one
Radio
Why should I care how you spend your money?
With a full wallet but an empty home?
Got no message, empty glory
When six under you'll still be alone
Politicians preach propaganda
and modern artists are doing the same
They promote an excessive lifestyle
Now everyone wants to do the same
I don't know if I should care
Life is easier when you're unaware
Complete chaos, Concrete shop
Time don't exist and we made up the lot
And all these people came from the sun
A billion souls that became one
Radio
Why should I care how you spend your money?
With a full wallet but an empty home?
Got no message, empty glory
When six under you'll still be alone
Politicians preach propaganda
and modern artists are doing the same
They promote an excessive lifestyle
Now everyone wants to do the same
I don't know if I should stay or go
My choices both have cons and pros
I can't see the result of me
Leaving behind everything I know
Sleep now
Everything will be OK in the end
Weep now
in a different town, don't you forget your friends
Make it up as we go along
We're so good at it we made God
We can write a symphony song
We can make 'em all sing along

We all live on rented land
Some new age magic has taken us by the hand
The only rent to pay is what becomes of your flesh it's only a reaction
I'm think I'm too sick to be afraid
Look at the skies. Look at the mess we've made
All that's in your life is a distraction
But at the end of the day you're just a chemical reaction
A wise man once said to me
Not to take any human seriously
They'll spread false knowledge, hear them sing
He pretends for the carrot but he wants the diamond ring
Well the back of a hand is a solid device
But not when it's used to take a human life
We came to call with our interaction
But walked away with a shit reaction
So put your flags away
Culture belongs to yesterday

The rains of springs can wash away the sins of Christmas
And the purest green can't take that reality away
Because my brain still craves and body still slaves for freedom
and the postman said I wouldn't do that again
A loud guitar shouldn't be afraid of anything
At least that's what spread by the rock bands
The now spiritual king of music was a wasted
But his drummer quit and it was irony he tasted
The things they saw they can't describe
With atmosphere ears and mountain eyes
Block the surface, counter the lies
Money was born and money will die
All the kids are in a mess again
The world of the hippie turned into the same
Responsibility has taken preference over personal choice
and the parents would now rather teach to have no voice
The things they saw they can't describe
With atmosphere ears and mountain eyes
Block the surface, counter the lies
Money was born and money will die

I'm sick of the high it always brings me down
Life's a roller-coaster I'm just following round
I don't trust anyone that talks to me
Am I paranoid with too much curiosity?
I've seen the system and want to tear it down
A loose transistor always makes them frown
And these four walls are just containment
Just to be imprisoned by entertainment
And all you do is whine about yourself
And all you do is whine about yourself
The doctor lets me in
Gives me my medicine
And I wonder why I feel so down
I shouldn't let it get to me
Failing anxiety
If I can't swim I'm gonna drown
But I don't trust my doctor
No I Don't trust my doctor
Is he the one that made me down?
Maybe it's this structure
Built up by the doctor
Is why I want to tear it down
It seems we lack communication
Read by the alter-boy: damnation
Is this the kind of world I live in
Why do we run straight from Temptation?
What's that? A broken man who lost his way?
That's just the medium and average day
Media, the telegrams: Please just stay
Read through the letter bombs it's gonna be OK
And all you do is whine about yourself
And all you do is whine about yourself
The doctor lets me in
Gives me my medicine
And I wonder why I feel so down
I shouldn't let it get to me
Failing anxiety
If I can't swim I'm gonna drown
But I don't trust my doctor
No I Don't trust my doctor
Is he the one that made me down?
Maybe it's this structure
Built up by the doctor
Is why I want to tear it down
