Set this world on fire I spoke to you for hours The curtain’s still coming up But the feelings all burnt and scattered I’ve sailed this ship into the ground And it’s not the first time it has happened We’re at the point Where all the words just sound the same All this means is none of us have even learnt Come on We have learnt to rip it off Turn it off Cut it out We have learnt to rip it off

These satellites Are watching me move To the core of these lies And I’m trying to prove My innocence is true But they’re laughing at me And there’s nothing to do But walk this straight line I’m jumping through hoops This can’t be right I’m starting to slide No, this isn’t right You can’t be serious These numbers are nightmares How do you sleep through this Your thinking is madness The illusion is masked You look quite the part You’re the man on the hill So there’s no need to prove If you’re innocence is true And we’re laughing at you Cause there is nothing for us But to walk this straight line I’m jumping through hoops This can’t be right I’m starting to slide No, this isn’t right You can’t be serious These numbers are nightmares How do you sleep through this Your thinking is madness

These Lights 04:22
All the lights that shine I'm still blinded I'm shaking at the knees And I can't stand straight I'm frightened I'll do something wrong Without thinking All this love I can't do anything tonight Standing at the bottom of the stairs Looking back up at us How did we come to this I never thought it would happen this way I know I've done something wrong I was not thinking All this love I can't do anything tonight.

Switch 02:38
Time combs through lies Like a broken record I sound When I try to explain That I cannot explain You photographed Then put the picture Up on the wall It reminds me of how Things could be good Each night when I’m closing my eyes And try to escape I know that I Cannot ignore This anymore It sounds a lot Like a broken Record I know When I try to explain That I cannot explain Can’t switch it off I can’t switch it off And I wish that I could

Broken Bones 05:00
This endless ride has got me I know I've been holding by a thread Falling towards the end But I have been held by a thousand hands Oh I know that something is wrong And I know that something is right We can scream out loud ‘Cause we're all on this ride I know I've been breaking my bones Holding up the stars Oh I'll keep falling flat on my face Just to know that I'm still alive Yesterday I was king But today I'm not sure Oh I know that something is wrong And I know that something is right We can scream out loud ‘Cause we're all on this ride We can scream out loud ‘Cause we're all on this ride ‘Cause we’re all on this ride

Underneath the starlight I raised my hands In the middle of the high times I felt the thread Coming undone Love it comes and goes Love, this time I’m going to change the rules All of these beginnings They always seem to end Doesn’t it feel so cruel That we’re still standing here Coming undone Love it comes and goes But this time I’m going to change the rules Coming undone Love comes and goes Love, this time I’m going to change the rules

Diplomat 04:24
Don’t try to fight Don’t try to hide You are what they want I know that all right You look so good tonight Don’t want to wake from this dream of mine Don’t lose your faith Is what I wanted to say It’s our time Open up your eyes We can stand to make things right You get what you want Yeah what you want If it’s hell you want then its hell you’ll get Don’t lose your faith Is what I wanted to say The world turns Indifferently So just let go Just let go Don’t lose your faith Is what I wanted to say I want to breath I want to live To hold my head up to the sky I want to see I want to hear I want to know what’s going on And I’ll sing my song Will not sweep it all aside And you look so good tonight Don’t want to wake from this dream of mine

December 03:50
Leaving through the front door Dressed up for your eyes And I hope that you’ll see me Walking down the back streets And all that’s on my mind Is seeing you some how Faces in the hallway All look like strangers And the crowd starts to form Silence is stronger than words I remember Talking with you And the dice began to roll So I kept my fingers crossed December fading quickly In last hours of this night I kept no thoughts from fading Silence is stronger than words
9.
I found a place that we can go To get away from this howling wind We’ll slow right down and be on our own When this racing world gets out of hand Pretty little thing You’re such a pretty little thing I found a girl to take me home I’ve seen her eyes on the other side We’ll slow right down and be on our own Pretty little thing Such a pretty little thing
10.
Some kind of dream You’re unkind words Do you ever just Walk away And head for the door Buried inside Sinking like stone Forget who I am Drifting away How quickly it unfolds How far we fall Does it ever just Work out all right Let you believe Buried inside Sinking like stone Forget who I am Drifting away
11.
Slow Down Don’t pull down the blindfold Your time isn’t up yet Go on go home Darling This love that you’re tasting These thoughts that you’re thinking Well its not love at all Wise up These plans that you’re making These moves that you’re taking You’re just running away Wake up The mask that you’re wearing The fool that you’re acting You’re just hiding away

Disappear 04:39
You walked around Carrying more than your head could hold Body wounded this world is inside out What the hell is going on Around here Just give me a minute to gather my thoughts Disappear now You fell apart And all I could do was break down You woke me up to this world I didn’t want o see I feel so sick to be standing here right now And you whispered words that I couldn’t understand Disappear Now Disappear Now Catching all that’s thrown Catching all that’s thrown Catching all that’s thrown
