Lyrics

1. STRENGHT IN NUMBERS

The emptiness that burns inside
See how they run see how they hide
All the animals come out at night
All the animals come out at night

Just a slave to the city
To indulge in the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution

Strength in numbers
No one will come between us

The human use of human beings
Their emotions you fail to see
The adrenaline it burns a hole
The adrenaline it burns a hole

Just a slave to the city
To indulge in the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution

Strength in numbers
No one will come between us


2. THE SPIKE

I feel pain in every part of me
Now poor girl come and settle on my knee
I crave the love that the people talk about
But in love do you feel
Feel a spike, feel alive

Yeah my body can't get enough
Feel a spike
Though emotionally I'm lost
Have no inner love
Feel a spike

In a part of me
I forgot about the city around me
Though emotionally I'm lost
Have no inner love
Feel a spike, feel a spike

Forget, forget the notion
If you don't feel this emotion
My words, they run like water
Into the cave of the insecure
My body shakes with the feeling
If I don't have you to believe in
Right now I'm Still devoted
My time it ticks away slowly

The doors close and the walls come in on me
Her toes curl at the very though of it
She craves the love that the people talk about
But in love do you feel
Feel alive, feel a spike

Her body's just coming up watch her writhe
Though emotionally she's lost
Has no inner trust
She's denied

In a part of me
I forget about the city around me
Though emotionally I'm lost
Have no inner love
Feel a spike, feel a spike

Forget, Forget the notion
If you don't feel this emotion
My words they run like water
Into the cave of the insecure
My body shakes with the feeling
If I don't have you to believe in
Right now I'm still devoted
My time it ticks away slowly

Forget, forget the notion
If you don't feel this emotion
My words they run like water
Into the cave of the insecure
My body shakes with the feeling
If I don't have you to believe in
Right now I'm Still devoted

My time it ticks away slowly
My time it ticks away slowly
My time it ticks away slowly


3. DRUGS

‘Cause we are worlds apart but it's time to know
That the hardest part is to not let go
While the heart keeps beating
The brain keeps wanting
How can I fly if you won't give me wings

Burn cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me, get to me

Burn cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me, now

‘Cause you make it hard to believe in you
‘Cause you close your eyes to what we do
And as we keep paying
We keep dying
How can I fly if you won't give me wings

Burn cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me, get to me

Burn cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Because you say

Drugs in the hands of a dealer
They're no cure
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more
Drugs in the hands of a dealer
They're no cure
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more

And it don't take a genius to work it out
That you're saving face just to stay in power
And as we keep paying we keep dying
How can I fly if you won't let me be

Burn cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Come on and get to me, get to me

Burn cinders of time
Come on and get to me now
Shoot the stars in the sky
Because you say...

Drugs in the hands of a dealer
They're no cure
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more
Drugs in the hands of a dealer
They're no cure
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more

You've got to give them what they what
Your only love is just a game
You have to give them what they want
Find a way to ease the pain
You need to give them what they want
Your only love is just a game
You have to live through what they want
Find a way to ease the pain

Because you say

Drugs in the hands of a dealer
They're no cure
Drugs in the hands of a doctor
You all want more

They're no cure
You all want more


4. IDLE

I live a life of the simple kind
A lie it only covers either way
You do it every other day
Giving love is essential
Whenever we come undone
So believe what you want to
Whenever you come undone

Someone to love me
Somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love me
Somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

Nobody can hurt me unless I allow them
For it is I, for it is I that is in control even includes myself
Too much and I fall
Too much and I fall
That includes myself man ‘cause you too idle

Someone to love me
Somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love me
Somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else

You won't survive just because you're idle
Come ride with me on a wave that's tidal
Forced to stand down and brave the winter
If you reveal the cracks then you will splinter

Someone to love me
Somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else
Someone to love me
Somebody to talk to
I wanna be like everybody else


5. THE LEFT SIDE

My hands are before me
The principles of life like a forest
To reach out and touch it
The spines are in my hands and I'm bleeding

Now get up people and show you want it
‘Cause I'm not sure you do
Tow get up people and show you want it
‘Cause I'm not sure you do

I'm not, I'm not gonna just sit here and let this go to waste
Tatching the clock tick on my life
This time, this time's gonna be different
‘Cause I know what I want
Listing the people I'm taking down
This is what I'm fighting for

Come over to the left side
We got something for yOU
My mind it weaves a tangled web

Now get up people and show you want it
‘Cause I'm not sure you do
Now get up people and show you want it
‘Cause I'm not sure you do

I'm not, I'm not gonna just sit here and let this go to waste
Watching the clock tick on my life this time
This time's gonna be different
‘Cause I know what I want
Listing the people I'm taking down
This is what I'm fighting for


6. FIRE

I'm sensible I want peace
And I believe it's still inside of me
Far from here they speak a thousand tales
Of what we lost into an open fire
I think it's time for you to look around
And see your past is like broken glass

Where are the feelings
Where are the feelings
A false empire of burning fire
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar

I've had enough I'm gonna hide no more
Now I've spoke I'm gonna speak some more
Politics are getting in the way
People telling me what I should say
I think it's time for you to meet the boys
We'll cut through you like silence cuts through noise

Where are the leaders
Where are the leaders
A false empire of burning fire
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar

I'm not inspired

I've had enough I'm gonna hide no more
Now I've spoke I'm gonna speak some more
Politics are getting in the way
People telling me what I should say
I think it's time for you to meet the boys
We'll cut through you like silence cuts through noise

Where are the leaders
Where are the leaders
A false empire of burning fire
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar
A burning fire is what you are
A burning fire gonna leave a scar

I'm not inspired


7. GET TROUGH IT

When mountains are high
Clouds and rain form on them
When waters are deep
Dragons are born in them
Flourish in my arms tonight
Cherished in my arms tonight

Come on
How do I get through it
Come on
Put you back into it
Come on
Something to believe in
Come on
Know yourself from within

A burden to pass
That holds you from yours fortune
A dormant fire that burns a hole inside you
Flourish in my arms tonight
Cherished in my arms tonight

Come on
How do I get through it
Come on
Put you back into it
Come on
Something to believe in
Come on
Know yourself from within

Come on
How do I get through it
Come on
Put you back into it
Come on
Something to believe in
Come on
Know yourself from within


8. VISION

I want you to feel it
There's enough of us here
I can feel it in the air around me
So near
Now we are shoulder to shoulder
In the same plan

Without you I'm a broken man
Without you I'm a slave to their plan
I'll wash the evidence from my hands
And leave the guilt behind

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

I know I can feel it
Just as tangible and as vivid as the moment that I'm in
So clear
Swim through the sea of pretenders

Without you I'm a broken man
Without you I'm a slave to their plan
I'll wash the evidence from my hands
And leave the guilt behind

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There is no vision, there is no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

There's no vision, there's no vision, there's no vision, something is about to change.
There's no vision, there's no vision, there's no vision, something is about to change
There's no vision, there's no vision, there's no vision, something is about to change
There's no vision, there's no vision, there's no vision, something is about to change

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday


9. THE LAST ONE

The whole world follows them
As echoes respond to sounds
One thought leads to another thought
The mind is the battle ground

You are holding on
To all that really matters
You wonder why
All this had to happen

Why am I the last one to know, last one to know
You try to get a hold on yourself, hold on yourself

The words I can't understand
They are like waterfalls
The world in the palm of my hand
One day I'll crush you all

You're holding on to all that really matters
You wonder, why
All this had to happen

Why am I the last one to know, last one to know
You try to get a hold on yourself, hold on yourself

Why am I the last one to know, last one to know
Why am I the last one to know, last one to know

Why am I the last one to know, last one to know
You try to get a hold on yourself, hold on yourself

Why am I the last one to know, last one to know
You try to get a hold on yourself, hold on yourself


10. NO WEAPON SHARPER THAN WILL

No one can touch me when I am here
Your bitterness is driven by fear

There is no weapon sharper than will, I know
And I'm gonna keep stamping down until I know
I've got my fill

I'm not gonna live my life alone
Life is at its sweetest near the bone
In your eyes I see a heartbeat like a stone
let it go and throw your arms around the sun

I can't get no peace in mind
Despite how hard I try
Turn down your ignorance
And maybe you will understand why
Fashion makes weaker souls appear to be something they're not
No words, just images
Nobody has a heart

There is no weapon sharper than will, I know
I'm gonna keep stamping down until I know
I've got my fill

I'm not gonna live my life alone
Life is at its sweetest near the bone
In your eye I see heartbeat like a stone
Let it go and throw your arms around the sun

I'm not gonna leave my life alone
Life is at its sweetest near the bone
In your eye I see heartbeat like a stone
Let it go and throw your arms around the sun


11. COLD BLOODED

Way, way down in the darkest secrets that you and me aren't told
There lives a man, who won't believe us when we show him love.
But someday soon they will rise
Cut us down without thinking twice

Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Still running, still running from you
Cold blooded, cold blooded animal

Way, way down in the back of your mind
There lives a consciousness
Not every child listens to reason
Some will get away
But someday soon they will rise
Cut us down without thinking twice

Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Still running, still running from you
Cold blooded, you cold blooded animal

We are writing, but when will they listen to us
The time we've wasted
We keep running, we just keep running
I find you hopeless, you're breaking, you're breaking again
'Till it's over, you get colder and colder

Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Still running, still running from you
Cold blooded, you cold blooded animal

Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Cold blooded, cold blooded animal
Still running, still running from you
Cold blooded, you cold blooded animal

Cold blooded animal
Cold blooded animal


12. INCONCEIVABLE ODDS

Lay down your injured arms
Cos we've come so far as one
Dig me out of here so on my back I feel some sun
Flee the darkness of this hour
Leave the modern world behind
My life's a burning tower
The walls are the hills we climb

How do I fight these inconceivable odds
From bringing me down
The drive for explanation grips us all
And pins us to the ground
If I ever leave your side unattended
Exposed to the fall
If I ever leave your heart undefended
Your back to the wall

Everyone must exist alone
We all run races with no ending
My thoughts are synchronised
To a clock with no time
The hearts of men will be corrupted
Abandoned by themselves
Life makes their minds destructive
frightened by the trigger inside

How do I fight these inconceivable odds
From bringing me down
The drive for explanation grips us all
And pins us to the ground
If I ever leave your side unattended
Exposed to the fall
If I ever leave your heart undefended
Your back to the wall


13. THE PRICE

Came back the other day
Thought I'd listen to what you got to say
Instead I'm feeling you
I just went down and I prayed
For nothing but love
Instead I've got hate
Now I know, now I know

Whatever you feel inside
You all better run and hide
I'm tired of your fucking lies
I'm tired of your fucking lies

For the last time I will say this to you
You've got to think for yourself
Because they're telling us lies
Every one of us stands for something

For the last time I will say this to you
You've got to think for yourself
Because they're telling us lies
Every one of us stands for something

Came back the other day
Thought I'd listen to what you got to say
Instead I'm feeling you are
I just went down and I prayed
For nothing but love
Instead I've got hate
Now I know, now I know

Whatever you feel inside
You all better run and hide
I'm tired of your fucking lies
I'm tired of your fucking lies

Whatever you feel inside
You all better run and hide
I'm tired of your fucking lies
I'm tired of your fucking lies

For the last time I will say this to you
You've got to think for yourself
Because they're telling us lies
Every one of us stands for something

For the last time I will say this to you
You've got to think for yourself
Because they're telling us lies
Every one of us stands for something

Whatever you feel inside
You all better run and hide

For the last time I will say this to you
You've got to think for yourself
Because they're telling us lies
Every one of us stands for something

For the last time I will say this to you
You've got to think for yourself
Because they're telling us lies
Every one of us stands for something


14. THE RAIN

Right now I'm crying out for someone
I feel it more than ever
If there is no-one that can show me
How am I to learn from my mistakes

Cause there's nothing I can't do to stop the violence
Well there's nothing I can do to stop this pain
Cause I'm nothing without you
We're nothing without you

Well there's nothing I can do to stop the rain

Our island's calling out for someone
Our words they are marching for us
How I am falling like a broken cloud
But now the sun has burned into my eyes

Cause there's nothing I can do to stop the violence
Well there's nothing I can do to stop this pain
Cause I'm nothing without you
We're nothing without you

Well there's nothing I can do to stop the rain
Cause there's nothing I can do to stop the violence
Well there's nothing I can do to stop this pain
Cause I'm nothing without you

We're nothing without you
Well there's nothing I can do to stop the rain
