Your enemy's watching
behind well-trimmed
hedges
scheming the downfall
of your pityful rebellion
sorting out tactics in p.t.a. meetings

struggling to keep themselves
provided in years to come
mow the battlefield
demeanor starts to fall
a hidden agenda
becomes revealed
LET'S PLAY BALL

Kids locked in kurfew
the scar's torn up
wider
end of the bonding
feud settled, birds departing
wondering what went wrong in quiet suburbia

struggling to keep themselves
provided in years to come
mow the battlefield
demeanor starts to fall
a hidden agenda
becomes revealed

I've said goddbye a hundred times
I never really ment it once
afraid to
give up on hope
afraid to
be alone
to let go

So tired
from all the pining, longing, yearning, waitng, whining
this roller-coaster ride
seems to be going only down
only down

You won't give in
I won't give up
this tug-of-war's gone far enough
can't stay forever in this hole
I've dug this hole with my own hands
it's time I dig myself right out again

Will I ever
See your bike
Outside my building, you inside
Heart in my throat still to this day
I wonder will it stay

You won't give in
I won't give up
this tug-of-war's gone far enough
can't stay forever in this hole
I've dug this hole with my own hands
it's time I dig myself right out again

You said you wanted
happy tunes
from my supposedly happy hand
well happyness is but
a tale out of reach

(Be)cause we're all
poor strangers
in a god forsaken land
running wild
running scared
in a strange pair of boots
let's go see our loved ones
let's forgive and remember
what we have is love
from here to oblivion

There's a strange place
between rebellion and faith
to which we silently
surrender

(Be)cause we're all
poor strangers
in a god forsaken land
running wild
running scared
in a strange pair of boots
let's go see our loved ones
let's forgive and remember
what we have is love
from here to oblivion

Pull the strings and cut the cord
taking in a breath of hope
gone before
the turning
of the screw

Features painted on my face
a wish before a falling star
becomes my
destiny
so ill-concieved

I came here as myself
I had no reasons why
and when I saw you there
singing WHY-LA-LA-LA
the milk was running thin
the blood was on the run
and if you see me
you'll be hearing WHY-LA-LA-LA

Turn my back on consciousness
running with a pack of wolves
searching for
the simple
bliss of life

Spill a tear and drop the bomb
led by wrong directions
starving in
the belly
of the whale

I came here as myself
I had no reasons why
and when I saw you there
singing WHY-LA-LA-LA
the milk was running thin
the blood was on the run
and if you see me
you'll be hearing WHY-LA-LA-LA

The milk IS runnig thin
the blood IS on the run
and if you see me
you'll be hearing WHY-LA-LA-LA

I'm looking at myself
and I can't deny
this will be my shelf
for a while
cold, pale and blue
the moon looked away
and I'm passing through
to face the faze

But in the month of May
I'll be back with you
We'll shoot the night away
Who ever you may be
Be with me

Another look at her
and he can't deny
this will be his shelf
for a while
cold, pale and blue
the moon looked away
and he's passing through
to face the haze

But in the month of May
I'll be back with you
We'll shoot the night away
Who ever you may be
Be with me

The dream, the night
is where we used to find our hopes
and wishes for tomorrow
the cold, the calm
the quiet noise is where I start
my winter-hypernate
where I may
where I stay
where I may
be alone

But in the month of May
I'll be back with you
We'll shoot the night away
Who ever you may be
Be with me

Feeling
a bit on the outside
I turn my insides out
by the
power
vested in me
by non other than myself

the power of one
I speak my piece

By myself
myself alone
my kingdom without you
will stand tall
like I do
the king of empty space
has spoken

Feeling
on top of the world
I sink to the bottom
don't waste
your time on me
I can do without you

once again
I speak my piece

By myself
myself alone
my kingdom without you
will stand tall
like I do
the king of empty space
has spoken

Leaving fast from the world that drowns me
summoning the empty space that surrounds me
making space, finding that empty place
and live happily
everafter
everafter

You've got yours
I've got mine
what's it to you
monologue
your master
my fuse burns

Give me a chance
and hear me out
spilling out your gut
I could be without

Don't you think I know
do you s'pose I care
in your blissful pain
you take everyone's share
don't question me
'cause you won't see

Eventhough
I'm writing
between the lines
my point is
you're blind to
the truth in my eyes

Give me a chance
and hear me out
spilling out your gut
I could be without

Don't you think I know
do you s'pose I care
in your blissful pain
you take everyone's share
don't question me
'cause you won't see

Give me a chance
and hear me out
spilling out your gut
I could be

You've got to learn
How to earn
My concern
When you burn your
Insides out
It's all about X 4

YOU

Put 'em all to sleep
target directed speakers
the tapping feet
guided deception
deceitful affection
can't live wrong lives in reason

They beat the drums, we echo the chorus
we inhale the dreams and dwell in lyrics before us
a pill to kill emotions, a pill to kill
diversity

And I hear the song it sings
do you hear the dissonance it brings
a song to kill emotions, a song to kill diversity

Put 'em all to sleep
xeroxed lives
anthems of make believe
wishful existence
blissful persistence
can't live wrong lives in reason

They beat the drums, we echo the chorus
we inhale the dreams and dwell in lyrics before us
a pill to kill emotions, a pill to kill
diversity

Since I
had my
first real emotion
I've been counting days
this train
won't reach
any destination
let's go seperate ways

I am sitting here
by myself
knowing that
you and tomorrow
will tear me apart

Some night
I might
call out your name
as you travel by
Writings upon
a bright blue sky
for now goodbye

I am sitting here
by myself
knowing that
you and tomorrow
will tear me apart

TOMORROW
NOT
TOMORROW X2
I know your words
before you say them
It's over tomorrow

I am sitting here
by myself
knowing that
you and tomorrow
will tear me apart

TOMORROW
NOT
TOMORROW X2
I know your words
before you say them
It's over tomorrow

When the world
closes in on you
when everyone's trying to get ahead

When all your
choises fall through
when things turn out just llike they said

Close the door
leave frustrations on the other side
take a breath
forget intrigue and everyone who lied

To all those
who watched their dreams burn
to the man who got mucked

To all those
who took a wrong turn
to everyone who got fucked

Close the door
leave frustrations on the other side
take a breath
forget intrigue and everyone who lied

You, playing hard to get
playing wishful dead
I will sing for this
but I'll never regret
hope you live your lifetime
hope you get your fool
and as you're crawling back
I'll be out to rule

My brave new world
singing different tunes than you and I sang
you fucked me up
so fuck you

I'll, bite you through tomorrow
spit on you today
eat this life of sorrow
spin the world of pain
stupid little girl
you'll never meet the likes of me again
behold this beauty
in his numb world without you

My brave new world
singing the same tunes as you and I sang
you fucked me up
do it again

We, met the other day
new scenes to the endless play
under a healing sun
time flies and kids grow strong

My brave new world
hear my newest tune I'll live without you
you were the one
now I'm gone
