Radioactive

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa

Empire

i'm building an empire
i'm building it with all i know
i'm building an empire
starting from scratch; it began with stones

i'm building an empire
i'm building with my body & soul
i'm building an empire
so little time & so much to do

i must say this is as good as it gets
so why're you wasting your blood, your sweat, your tears

empire; build it higher
empire; build it higher

i'm building an empire
i'm building with the stars in mind
i'm building an empire
that's one day gonna scrape the sky

i'm building an empire
that's led by my heart tonight
i'm building an empire
& now i'm never gonna look back

i must say this is as good as it gets
so why're you wasting your blood, your sweat, your tears

Northern Lights

See the fire, watch it glow
Even when I've got my eyes closed, oh
Seeping deep into me
I can feel you even in my bones

And I follow blind
Through a tunnel mind we meet
And it's burning bright
And I feel it cry for me

Reaching out for the northern lights
Leave it all behind
Reaching up for the neon sky
Now our stars align

And everything we touch, it turn, turns to gold
Never ever let go
'Cause everything we touch, it turn, turns to gold
So never ever let go

New Revolution

Hey, can you heal these broken bones?
Hey, can you guide the thoughts we own?
How, with a question, I need to know
We will rise to burn if you let this go

In the dark of day teach us love again
Pray we stay for

The new revolution is here
And the road to redemption is near
Come hell or high water, babe
We'll keep moving on

Please, will you, mister, show me home?
Please, tell my mother to carry on
Stand up, little darling, I been told
To stand up and fight for living strong

In the dark of day teach us love again
Pray we stay for

Relief Next To Me

I'll tell you now
I guess like I should have told you then
The thunder moves like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I know and what should matter most
I can't close an eye, can't close an eyelid
And now there's just no point in reaching out for you
In the dark I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this:
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need

If I Was God

I hate to tell you
But it's all an illusion from the hair
(Lashes, nails, body)
I'm scared to disappoint you
All I really got is a heartbeat
(Soul, honest)

It's a secret me
I never showed nobody, no
That everything I wanted
Isn't pathological
I wish it was real
I wish I had everything
I dream of while I'm in bed
Don't let me wake up
The fear of emptiness
Just let me believe it

If I was God, what would I change?
(Love, war, lies, money)
Should we keep on or should we throw me away?
(Love, war, lies, money)

I don't really wanna live like nothing's wrong
I don't really wanna give up on our love

Demons

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made
Don’t want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Hurricane

What's wrong with me
Why not understand and see
I never saw
What you saw in me

Keep my eyes open
My lips sealed
My heart closed
And my ears peeled

Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul I can't disguise
Can't disguise
Nights like this I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane

Make ash and leave the dust behind
Lady diamond in the sky
Wild light
Glowing bright
To guide me
When I fall
I fall on tragedy

Skinny Love

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lies

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?

Secret Crowds

If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with its families,
Friends or its enemies

Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have it within you
Inventing the first clean and usable,
God's greatest miracle

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

Things We Lost In The Fire

I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre

(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now

These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire

Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again

Come Away To The Water

Come away little lamb
Come away to the water
Give yourself so we might live anew
Come away little lamb
Come away to the slaughter
To the ones appointed to see this through
We are calling for you
We are coming for you

Come away little lamb
Come away to the water
To the arms that are waiting only for you
Come away little lamb come away to the slaughter
To the one appointed to see this through
We are calling for you
We are coming for you
We are coming for you
We are coming for you

Skyfall

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
That skyfall

Can't Catch Tomorrow

I'm sure I've seen this look before
Done a thousand times and a million more
How many lies did he tell this time?
How many times did he cross the line?
It won't help me but I have to ask
Is there something real that's behind the mask?
Something true we don't know about
A little faith in amongst the doubt

And maybe someday you will grow
Maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end these tears and go

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
But I will stay the same
And I know you
(Know you, know you)
Always steal and borrow
And I know you
(Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

Sway

When the sun comes down
When the rain wash away
All the hopes I can bring
To another day
Another day

When your trees start to sway
And the wind makes them move
I can tell that
You don't know

To all the fights I've conquered and beyond
The times have changed and I will now move over slowly
But through it all I still feel lost without you
Hard to find a new soul
The silence takes its toll
Just sway
You don't know
Just sway
You don't know
Just sway
When all you want is to find home

There's a light pausing
Feel the volume of the sky
Mark your place in time with another question why

How Do You Love Someone?

mama never taught me how to love
daddy never taught me how to feel
mama never taught me how to touch
daddy never showed me how to heal

mama never set a good example
daddy never held mama's hand
mama found everything hard to handle
daddy never stood up like a man

i've walked around broken
emotionally frozen
getting on, getting on
i was always the chosen child
their biggest scandal i became
they told me i'd never survive
but survival's my middle name

i've walking around hoping
just barely coping
getting on, getting on

how do you love someone
without getting hurt
how do you love someone
without crawling in the dirt
so far in my life
clouds have blocked the sun
how do you love, how do you love someone
how do you love, how do you love someone

it's hard to talk
to say what's deep inside
it's hard to tell the truth
when you've always lied

Graceless

I'm trying, but I'm graceless
Don't have the sunny side to face this
I am invisible and weightless
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

Graceless
I figured out how to be faithless
But it will be a shame to waste this
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I've gone
Through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rock and through
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

There's a science to walking through windows without you

Glory & Gore

There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it but I promise we're not mean

Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us

No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises, we'll always win at this
I don't ever think about death
It's alright if you do, it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain,
"Secretly you love this; do you even wanna go free?"
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us
And how it plays out
Now we're in the ring
And we're coming for blood

You could try and take us (oh-oh)
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
But secretly they're saviors
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
But victory's contagious

King Of Birds

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point,
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold, leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
(Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young,
There's time to teach, point to point,
Point observation, children carry reservations)
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away, away, away

I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold, leaves me cold
A main idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away, away, away

Everybody hit the ground, everybody hit the ground

Litany

You are the bread and the knife,
the crystal goblet and the wine.
You are the dew on the morning grass
and the burning wheel of the sun.
You are the white apron of the baker,
and the marsh birds suddenly in flight.

However, you are not the wind in the orchard,
the plums on the counter,
or the house of cards.
And you are certainly not the pine-scented air.
There is just no way that you are the pine-scented air.

It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the sound of rain on the roof.

I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.

I am also the moon in the trees
and the blind woman's tea cup.
But don't worry, I'm not the bread and the knife.
You are still the bread and the knife.
You will always be the bread and the knife,
not to mention the crystal goblet and - somehow - the wine.

Raise Hell

I found myself an omen and I tattoed on a sign
I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line.
You have a mind to keep me quiet
And although you can try,
Better men have hit their knees
And bigger men have died.

I'm gonna raise, raise hell
There's a story no one tells
You gotta raise, raise hell
Go on and ring that bell

King & Lionheart

Taking over this town they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.

And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.

His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind.
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same.

Howling ghosts – they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.

Nietzsche

I want a god who stays dead
not plays dead
I, even, I, can play dead
I want a god who stays dead
not plays dead
I, even I, can play dead
I want a god who stays dead
not plays dead
I, even I, can play dead

Funnyman

Locked inside your head
Do you realize the things you said
Never made sense?

We can sit here and laugh
But we don't know the half of it,
In your defense

We've been talking a while
And it seems to me each time you smile
Lights are coming on
But they don't burn too strong
And they won't stay for long
And then they're gone again

Funnyman, gotta try to be something wonderful
Funnyman, listening to the world turning on itself
Turn it into a brand new universe
Funnyman could never be anything else

Invisible Empire

I thought the candle was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle never went out, never went out

The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way to the shore

And if I do, all the things I do
While I tell myself that I'm staying true
I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop
You know I'll never think about it
Put an end to all this time, that I would spend with it on my mind
I never stopped, you know I never stopped
You know I always wondered about it
I wondered about the wonder

Woah oh oh, I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round
To see the ruin, the spectacular, diamonds baby
Icebergs, the minarets and the marketplaces
The signal fires of my invisible empire

Old Man Song

Oh we are fighters in our prime
And as I look to your corner from mine
They say the chasm is black and so terribly wide
But I believe that's a trick of the eye

And there are mountains in your eyes
I suppose it should be no surprise
The war that you wage against smiling at your age
Is the only thing you said unwise
When you look like you do

Oh come alive inside this light
Your journey on is my delight
I sense a feeling so strange as I'm watching you change
From a man into a portal knight

So play old man
Won't you play?
I'll sit by your side, if I may
And soak in your soul
While denying it so
Contesting your claim
You're nearly through
I don't believe you
When you can do what you do
I don't believe you

I'll Believe In Anything

We've both been very brave; walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day; we both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

If I could take the fire out from the wire, I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire, I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire, I'd take you where nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn either way
About your blood, your bones
Your voice, & your ghost
Because nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn either way

Jenny

Do you see her face
When she's gone
Sometimes so bright
Your heart just stops
Did she answer you
Your other half
You know they say
She comes just once

I am the girl
I am the ghost
I am the wife
I am the one

So you want to forget
Live in the dark
Was she just too close
To everything

Didn't we almost almost almost have it
Didn't we?

Superball

a glass eye I use to spy
have little tiny teeth that tell a golden lie
my feet are small, I'm not that tall
I tell you the truth, but really not at all

I'm small like a superball, THROW me at the wall
I'm FRAGILE like an eggshell, I'm mad as hell

my teeth are gold, I'm not that old
I would tell you the truth, but I'm not that bold
hook me with your hand, my mouth is full of sand
everything I say ends with and

I'm small like a SUPERBALL, throw me at the wall
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm MAD as hell

World Leader Pretend

I've a rich understanding of my finest defences
I proclaim that claims are left unstated
I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognise the weapons
I've practised them well
I fitted them myself

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
Empathise
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raised the wall
And I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me
Hold me tight
Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me
Let my machine talk to me

This is my world,and I am the World Leader Pretend
This is my life, and this is my time
I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit
It's high time I razed the walls that I've constructed

The Waste Land

The river’s tent is broken: the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed.
And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors;
Departed, have left no addresses.
By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept . . .
Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song,
Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long.
But at my back in a cold blast I hear
The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear. . . .

A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall
And upside down in air were towers
Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.

In this decayed hole among the mountains
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing
Over the tumbled graves, about the chapel
There is the empty chapel, only the wind’s home.
It has no windows, and the door swings,
Dry bones can harm no one.
Only a cock stood on the roof-tree
Co co rico co co rico
In a flash of lightning. Then a damp gust
Bringing rain

On The Bound

All my life is on me now, hail the pages turning
And the future is on the bound, hell don't know my fury
You're all I need, you're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, You're all I need, you're all I need
Youre all I need - and maybe some faith would
Do me good
I don't know what I'm doing, don't know should I
Change my mind, I can't decide, there's too many
Variations to consider
No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me
More to do, It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself,
I make it bitter
Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time
Tell me you belong to me
Baby say that it's all gonna be alright
I believe that it isn't

Inside A Boy

Inside a boy I found a universe
And in his eyes are a thousand stars on a dark sky
We are clouds we are whispers like fauns and shape-shifters
Our edges can never be found out
No our edges keep moving further out

We are stars colliding
Now we crash like lightning into love
Love

In his arms I'm unwinding
Under his kiss I am falling into love

Young Volcanoes

When Rome's in ruins, we are the lions
Free of the coliseums
In poison places, we are anti-venom
We're the beginning of the end

Tonight the foxes hunt the hounds
It's all over now before it has begun
We've already won

We are wild, we are like young volcanoes
We are wild, Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful baby?
Yeah!

Woman King

Blackbird claw, raven wing
Under the red sunlight
Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves
Waving as we go by

Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep.

Black horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the red ant hill
Garden worm, cigarette
Ash on the window sill

Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, sword I hand
Swing at some evil and bleed.

Black hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on the shot gun shell
Age old dog, hornet nest
Built in the big church bell

We Come Running

Under a pale blue sky
You never felt so cold
Another sleepless night
How could you ever let go
How do you recognize
The dirty face of gold
Behind that crooked line
Where you never knew you'd go

Headed for the open door
Tell me what you're waiting for
Look across the great divide
Soon they're gunna hear
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running
Never go where we belong
Echoes in the dead of dawn
Soon they're gonna know
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

Empire

Take off all of your skin
And brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins
And give them to me
Close up, let me back in
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Whoo!
