Showbiz (1999)
Come waste your millions here, secretly she sneers Another corporate show, a guilty conscience grows I'll feel a guilty conscience grow I'll feel a guilty conscience grow She burns like the sun and I can't look away And she'll burn, our horizons make no mistake Come let the truth be shared, no one ever dared To break these endless lies, secretly she cries She burns like the sun... And I'll hide from the world, behind a broken frame And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame
She had something to confess to But you don’t have the time so, look the other way You will wait until it's over To reveal what you’d never shown her, too little much too late Can you see that I am needing Begging for so much more than you could ever give And I don’t want you to adore me Don’t want you to ignore me, when it pleases you Yeah, and I’ll do it on my own Can you see that I am needing? Begging for so much more than you could ever give And I don’t want you to adore me Don’t want you to ignore me, when it pleases you And I’ll do it on my own I have played in every toilet But you still want to spoil it to prove I’ve made a big mistake Too long trying to resist it You’ve just gone and missed it, it's escaped your world Can you see that I am needing...
It's happening soon, it's happening soon Its scent has been blowing in my direction To me it is new, to me it is new And it's not gonna change for anybody And it's gonna be our last memory And it's led me on and on to you It's got to be here, it's gotta be there It's gotta be now or I'll lose forever To me it is strange, this feeling is strange But it's not gonna change for anybody And it's gonna be... Accuse me, trust me, I never knew That you were the one, you were the one, ooh And it's gonna be...
I’m falling down and fifteen thousand people scream They were all begging for your dream I’m falling down, five thousand houses burning down No one is gonna save this town Too late, I already found what I was looking for You know it wasn’t here, no it wasn’t here I was calling your name but you would never hear me sing You wouldn’t let me begin So I’m crawling away 'cause you broke my heart in two No, I will not forget you Too late, I already found what I was looking for You know it wasn’t you, no it wasn’t you, no Falling away, you would never see me through No, I could not forget you Falling down, five thousand house burning down No one is gonna save this town Too late, I already found what I was looking for You know it wasn’t you, no it wasn’t you, no Falling down, now the world is upside down I’m heading straight for the clouds
Leave me alone, it's nothing serious I’ll do it myself, it's got nothing to do with you And there's nothing that you could do You can see it and you can almost hear it too You can almost taste it, it's nothing to do with you And it's still nothing that you can do So come in my cave And I’ll burn your heart away Come in my cave I’ll burn your heart away Please close your ears and try to look away So you never hear a single word I say And don’t ever come my way Leave me alone, it's nothing serious I’ll do it myself, it's got nothing to do with you And there's still nothing that you could do So come in my cave And I’ll burn your heart away Come in my cave And arrest me for my mistakes
Controlling my feelings for too long Controlling my feelings for too long Controlling my feelings for too long Controlling my feelings for too long Forcing our darkest souls to unfold And forcing our darkest souls to unfold Pushing us into self destruction Pushing us into self destruction And they make me Make me dream your dreams And they make me Make me scream your screams Trying to please you for too long Trying to please you for too long Visions of greed you wallow Visions of greed you wallow Visions of greed you wallow Visions of greed you wallow And they make me... Controlling my feelings for too long Controlling my feelings for too long And forcing our darkest souls to unfold And forcing our darkest souls to unfold And pushing us into self destruction And pushing us into self destruction And they make me...
You could be my unintended Choice to live my life extended You could be the one I'll always love You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions You could be the one I'll always love I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before First there was the one who challenged All my dreams and all my balance She could never be as good as you You could be my unintended Choice to live my life extended You should be the one I'll always love I'll be there as soon as I can...
This means nothing to me 'Cause you are nothing to me And it means nothing to me That you blew this away 'Cause you could have been number one If you only found the time And you could have ruled the whole world If you had the chance You could have been number one And you could have ruled the whole world And we could have had so much fun But you blew it away You're still nothing to me And this is nothing to me And you don't know what you've done But I'll give you a clue You could have been number one If you only had the chance And you could have ruled the whole world If you had the time You could have been number one...
Royal Canadian blended, the spicy aroma had mended me Matured for years and imported into my glass you poured it And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason that you would turn on me You're so solid, you're so solid It burns inside of me 'cause you're so solid It burns inside of me The wild turkey's been chosen, its caramel nose could smell me Arbourler/Jameson I love you, the single malts came burning And you're the only reason, that I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason that you would turn on me You're so solid... Royal Canadian blended, the spicy aroma had mended me And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason that you would turn on me You're so solid...
You would say anything, you would try anything To escape your meaningless and your insignificance You're uncontrolable and we are unloveable And I don’t want you to think that I care I never would, I never could again Why can’t you just love her? Why be such a monster? You bully from a distanceYour brain needs some assistance But I’ll still take all the blame 'cause you and me are both one and the same And it's driving me mad, and it's driving me mad I’ll take back all the things that I said I didn't realise I was always talking to the living dead And I don’t want you to think that I care I never would, I never could again You would say anything, you would try anything To escape your meaningless and your insignificance
You needed it when I was away And no matter what I say Your'll never forget when I wasn't there So why should I care? I'm young but I know that I'm aroused You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there It doesn't matter where I have gone I just can't afford to Pay for all the mistakes that you have made It's about time I was paid I'm young but I know that I'm aroused You know that I care...
Oh I am growing tired Of allowing you to steal Everything I have You're making me feel Like I was born to service you But I am growing by the hour You left us far behind So we all discard our souls And blaze through your skies So unafraid to die 'Cause I was born to destroy you And I am growing by the hour And I'm getting strong in every way Yeah, yeah You led me on, you led me on, you Oh, and I'm getting strong in every way Yeah, yeah
Who's ever known How much to moan and groan and quiver inside He needs to give you Everything you need is enough You're running out of time As it grows in your eye Feel broken inside, you feel Sigh, static moans A storm growing strong, and it's coming my way Still she gives you Everything you need is enough You're running out of time As it grows in your eye Feel broken inside, you feel And I'll feel broken inside you feel
Origin Of Symmetry (2001)
Link it to the world, link it to yourself Stretch it like a birth squeeze The love for what you hide, the bitterness inside Is growing like the new born When you've seen, seen too much Too young, young, soulless is everywhere Hopeless time to roam, the distance to your home Fades away to nowhere How much are you worth, you can't come down to earth You’re swelling up, you're unstoppable 'Cause you've seen, seen too much Too young, young, soulless is everywhere Destroy the spineless, show me it's real Wasting our last chance to come away Just break the silence 'cause I’m drifting away Away from you
Everything about you is how I wanna be Your freedom comes naturally Everything about you resonates happiness Now I won't settle for less Give me all the peace and joy in your mind Everything about you pains my envying Your soul can't hate anything Everything about you is so easy to love They’re watching you from above Give me all the peace and joy in your mind I want the peace and joy in your mind Give me the peace and joy in your mind Everything about you resonates happiness Now I won't settle for less Give me all the peace...
H8 is the one for meIt gives me all I needAnd helps me co-exist with the chill You make me sick because I adore you so I love all the dirty tricks And twisted games you play on me Space dementia in your eyes Peace will arise and tear us apart And make us meaningless again You’ll make us want to die I'd cut your name in my heart We’ll destroy this world for you I know you want me to feel your pain Space dementia in your eyes And Venus will arise and tear us apart And make us meaningless again
Your golden lies feed my role In this forgotten space race under my control Who’s returned from the dead? Who remains? Just to spit it in your face You know that I don't want you and I never did I don't want you and I never will You wanted more than I was worth And you think I was scared and you needed proof Who really cares anymore? Who restrains? Just to spit it in your face You know that I don't love you and I never did I don't want you and I never will
I've exposed your lies, baby The underneath's no big surprise Now it's time for changing and cleansing everything To forget your love And my plug in baby crucifies my enemies When I'm tired of giving, whoa And my plug in baby in unbroken virgin realities I'm tired of living, ooh Don't confuse, baby You're gonna lose your own game Change me and replace the envying To forget your love And my plug in baby... And I've seen your loving, mine is gone And I've been in trouble, ooh yeah
Break me in, teach us to cheat And to lie, cover up what shouldn't be shared And the truth's unwinding, scraping away at my mind, please stop asking me to describe him For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage, with no feelings at all Open minded I'm sure I used to be so free Self-expressed, exhausting for all To see and to be what you want and what you need And the truth’s unwinding, scraping away at my mind, please stop asking me to describe For one moment... Wash me away, clean your body of me Erase all the memories, they will only bring us pain And I've seen all I'll ever need
Hands are red with your blame Megaphone screaming my name Whimpers someone I should've loved Souls weeping above I've seen what you're doing to me Destroying puppet strings to our souls Micro waves me insane A blaine cuts in your brain Sounds like forks on a plate Blackboard scratched with hate I've seen what you're doing to me...
Who’s so phoney and always surrounded? Stop your screaming, no one can hear All the scars on your skin, post no bills Who you were was so beautiful Remember who, who you were Hide from the mirror, the cracks and the memories Hide from your family, they won't know you now For all the holes in our soul host no thrills Who you were was so beautiful Memories who, who you were
Passing by you light up my darkest skies You’ll take only seconds to draw me in So be mine and your innocence I will consume Dark shines, bringing me down Making my heart feel sore, 'cause it's good Hold your hands up to your eyes again Hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears So be mine and your innocence I will consume Dark shines...
Birds flying high, you know how I feel Sun in the sky, you know how I feel Reeds drifting on by, you know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life For me, and I'm feeling good Fish in the sea, you know how I feel River running free, you know how I feel Blossom in the tree, you know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life For me, and I'm feeling good Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know? Butterflies all having fun, you know what I mean Sleep in peace when the day is done And this old world is a new world and a bold world For me Stars when you shine, you know how I feel Scent of the pine, you know how I feel Oh, freedom is mine and I know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life For me, and I'm feeling good
Ignorance pulls, apostasy and apathy still rules Yeah, you know it's cool Just suck and see, a future turns us into silent gods And I won't miss you at all Grounded, boxed in Like the evil in your head Grounded, boxed in I am stuck with you Fate can't decide, alignment of the planets in your hands Come on and crush our plans Just suck and see, a future that won't let you disagree And I won't miss you at all Grounded... Feeling, feeling everything Feeling, feeling everything
Paradise comes at a price That I am not prepared to pay What were we built for? Could someone tell me, please? The good news is she can't have babies And won't accept gifts from me What are they for? They’ll just grow up and break the laws you've loved Take off your disguise I know that underneath it's me Useless device, it won’t suffice I want a new game to play When I am gone, it won’t be long Before I disturb you in the dark Paradise comes at a price That I am not prepared to pay What were we built for? Will someone tell me, please? Take off your disguise I know that underneath
Hullabaloo (2002)
Push me in into this Force me in into this
Cast your eye tears onto me And I'll show you what you really need Give too much attention And I'll reflect your imperfections Can't you see it's over? Because you're the god of a shrinking universe Purposeless survival Now there's nothing left to die for So don't struggle to recognize Now the cruelly heart-felt suicide Can't you see it's over?..
Resuscitate in my sleep Awake to see you're never here And the losing yields, another year Facing hopes and fears And I wish I could believe there was more Hopes suffocating, and you've kissed my life And the planes and trains are to blame For tempting us to refrain And to cut the chord, this every word Of the truths absurd And I wish... Hopes suffocating, hopes suffocating Hopes suffocating, and you've kissed my life
I cannot sleep There's too much noise in my head! I cannot sleep I want it here instead! I never thought that this could come to this I just wanna live my dreaded bliss in peace now You will never miss, but I can! I cannot keep The shame that's clawed us out! And I will not keep Your shut up, shut up lies! I never thought...
I'm sick of feeling my soul to people who'll never know Just how purposeless and empty they've grown Because the language confuses like computers refuse to understand how I'm feeling today I'm freezing and loosing my way I don't need another map of your head I'm freezing and loosing my way I don't need another map of your head I saw a liquid control that gives life to a soul I hit my head on it and woke up to know That I was all alone, wearing just socks and a phone Someone's screaming like their world might explode I'm freezing and loosing my way...
Conforming on a monday, too often and too cold But you aren't even listening, because you are just Too old to feel an earthquake or too cool to even care But you aren't even listening, so why should I? You are a natural disaster And I've wanted you too much, and now I'm gonna lose I've wanted you too much, and now I've gotta choose You're the cause of all this And I'm sick of trying to please you And you're gonna feel my emotions coming Because you're the world Like a broken damn you're empty And all that's left are the sticks and stones That were built by other people and it really shows But you aren't even listening because you are just Too old to feel an earthquake, too cool to even care But you aren't even listening, so why should I?
Who cares for the life we've earned? Someone's sold all the truth you yearned Remember when we used to shine And had no fear or sense of time It creeps up on you You can't cry now there's nothing to feel No one's noticed our loneliness Remember when you used to tease And made us scream eternal time I believed that you'd always be here 'Cause once you promised a life with no fear Please don't break my ideals And say what thing was always real I was the one and only Take me back again
I know there's something I could tell you or tell me I hope this matter private who you're loving We can blow up this now, it's all because of mine Don't people change things 'cause I can't pray for I never needed your cry, but I love your cry Don't you want me? 'Cause I need you so I know that you're ashamed So romantic that accuse you Don't you know that you're ashamed? So romantic that you cry There's always something that will makes you kiss me There's also something that I would tell you or tell me We should blow up this now, it's all because of mine Don't people see yourself? Cause I can't pray for I never needed your cry, I love your cry That's romantic cause I need you so I know that you're ashamed...

Your golden lies feed my role This forgotten space race under my control Who's returned from the dead? Who remains? You wanted more than I was worth You think I was scared and you needed proof Who really cares anymore? Who restrains? I don't love you and I never did I don't love you and I never will
Absolution (2003)
(instrumental)
Declare this an emergency Come on and spread a sense of urgency And pull us through, and pull us through And this is the end, this is the end of the world It's time we saw a miracle Come on it's time for something biblical And pull us through, and pull us through And this is the end, this is the end of the world Proclaim eternal victory Come on and change the course of history And pull us through, and pull us through And this is the end, this is the end of the world
I think I'm drowning, asphyxiated I wanna break this spell that you've created You're something beautiful, a contradiction I wanna play the game, I want the friction You will be the death of me You will be the death of me Bury it, I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it, I won't let you murder it Our time is running out Our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out I wanted freedom, bound and restricted I tried to give you up, but I'm addicted Now that you know I'm trapped, sense of elation You'd never dream of breaking this fixation You will squeeze the life out of me Bury it, I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it, I won't let you murder it Our time is running out... How did it come to this? Ooh You will suck the life out of me Bury it, I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it, I won't let you murder it Our time is running out... How did it come to this? Ooh
Lips are turning blue, a kiss that can't renew I only dream of you, my beautiful Tiptoe to your room, a starlight in the gloom I only dream of you and you never knew Sing for absolution, I will be singing And falling from your grace There's nowhere left to hide, in no one to confide The truth runs deep inside and will never die Lips are turning blue, a kiss that can't renew I only dream of you, my beautiful Sing for absolution... I won't remain unrectified And our souls won't be exhumed
I won't stand in your way, let your hatred grow And she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll pray And she had a name, yeah she had a name I won't hold you back, let your anger rise And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn No one will recall, no one will recall This is the last time I'll abandon you And this is the last time I'll forget you I wish I could! Look to the stars, let hope burn in your eyes And we'll love and we'll hate and we'll die All to no avail, all to no avail This is the last time I'll abandon you...
I can't remember when it was good Moments of happiness elude Maybe I just misunderstood All of the love we left behind Watching the flashbacks intertwine Memories I will never find So I'll love whatever you become And forget the reckless things we've done I think our lives have just begun I think our lives have just begun And I feel my world crumbling I feel my life crumbling I feel my soul crumbling away And falling away, falling away with you Staying awake to chase a dream Tasting the air you're breathing in I know I won't forget a thing Promise to hold you close and pray Watching the fantasies decay Nothing will ever stay the same All of the love we threw away All of the hopes we cherished fade Making the same mistakes again Making the same mistakes again And I feel my world crumbling... All of the love we've left behind Watching the flash backs intertwine Memories I will never find Memories I will never find
(instrumental)
It's bugging me, grating me And twisting me around Yeah, I'm endlessly caving in And turning inside out 'Cause I want it now, I want it now Give me your heart and your soul And I'm breaking out, I'm breaking out Last chance to lose control It's holding me, morphing me And forcing me to strive To be endlessly cold within And dreaming I'm alive 'Cause I want it now... And I want you now, I want you now I'll feel my heart implode And I'm breaking out, escaping now Feeling my faith erode
Don't kid yourself And don't fool yourself This love's too good to last And I'm too old to dream Don't grow up too fast And don't embrace the past This life's too good to last And I'm too young to care Don't kid yourself And don't fool yourself This life could be the last And we're too young to see
Change everything you are And everything you were Your number has been called Fights and battles have begun Revenge will surely come Your hard times are ahead Best, you've got to be the best You've got to change the world And use this chance to be heard Your time is now Don't let yourself down And don't let yourself go Your last chance has arrived Best, you've got to be the best...
There’s a part of me you’ll never know The only thing I’ll never show Hopelessly, I’ll love you endlessly Hopelessly, I’ll give you everything But I won’t give you up, I won’t let you down And I won’t leave you falling if the moment ever comes It's plain to see, it’s trying to speak Cherished dreams forever asleep Hopelessly... Hopelessly, I’ll love you endlessly Hopelessly, I’ll give you everything But I won’t give you up, I won’t let you down And I won’t leave you falling, but the moment never comes
Eerie whispers trapped beneath my pillow Won't let me see your memories I know you're in this room, I'm sure I heard you sigh Floating in-between where our worlds collide It scares the hell out of me And the end is all I can see And it scares the hell out of me And the end is all I can see I know the moment's near and there's nothing we can do Look through a faithless eye, are you afraid to die? It scares the hell out of me...
Take, take all you need And I'll compensate your greed with broken hearts Sell, I'll sell your memories For fifteen pounds per year, but just the good days Say, it'll make you insane And its bending the truth You're to blame for all the life that you'll loose And you watch this space, but I'm going all the way And be your slave to the grave, I'm the priest god never paid Hope, I hope you've seen the light 'Cause no one really cares they're just pretending Sell, I sell your memories For fifteen pounds per year, but you can keep the bad days Say, it'll make you insane...
Repress and restrain Steal the pressure and the pain Wash the blood of your hands This time she won't understand Change in the air And they'll hide everywhere And no one knows who's in control You're working so hard And you're never in charge Your death creates success Rebuild and supress Change in the air...
