Well, you’re missing this place
And you’re missing her world
And it’s kind of defective
You are missing the point
And you’re missing that void
And it’s kind of effective
We all die
It all dies
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
You are missing this bed
And you’re missing the scent
And it’s kind of deceptive
Now you’re missing that time
And you’re missing your prime
Yes, it’s all just defective
Well, you heard
All that you wanted to say
And you bluffed
All of your worries away
It’s safe
Not to repeat this mistake
(Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Defective
Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Effective)
You’re still not making a point
(Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Defective
Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Effective)
The flaws you both have are too old
(Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Defective
Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Effective)
You’re still not making a point
(Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Defective
Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Effective)
The flaws you both have are too old
(Faulty love, faulty love
Faulty love
Defective)
(And so when you dream this
Whole thing tonight
You’ll know I’m the one who
Can make it right
Afraid I can turn your whole world
Around
But is there a safe way to still
Find out)

Slow
03:36
|
|

Clinging to your heart beat
As you walk too slow
Lights dim behind you
And the rain slides
You are a parasite
You feed on your only life
Will she count the stairs and let you know?
Will she want to play this really slow?
Now you see it coming
But you just don’t know
If you should be running
Or stop and lay low
Maybe you’re the one who never takes it slow
Maybe you’re the one who never takes it slow
But it feels right
As she triggers you
She plays with your mind
Yet it feels right
This missing piece
You thought once died
Yes, it feels right
Under all the stars
Witnessing tonight
It will be alright
Even if you know
Her lips lie
Even if you know
Her lips lie
Clinging to your heart beat
As you walk too slow
Lights dim behind you
And the rain slides
You are a parasite
You feed on her only life
Will you count her stairs and let her know?
Will you want to play this really slow?

Wasting Money

We should take it easy
We should feel the sunset
We should take it easy
Make it hard to forget
We should save the regret
We should see it coming
We should take it easy
Let’s keep wasting money
Let’s keep wasting money
Time is wasting money
Time is wasting money
Love is wasting time
Let’s keep wasting money

Death All Around
02:54

Dirty motherfuckers
Speeding on a ride
Spawning all the complications
Someone has to die
Once we have it running
You’d better see it go
This is not a joyride
This is not a show
Death is all around us
Priests can see the doom
‘Cause everything we do here
You’ll remember soon
And here we are
We’ll take you on
Here we come
To set the score
Here we rise
Upon sundown
Here we come
Death all around
(Oh, yeah
Remember this)
Fashion catches on
But it’s a lame excuse
You think you are artists
But you’re just confused
All you do is stealing
All you do is break
And there is no meaning
To your accolade
There’s no heart inside you
You just mime it through
You got zero talent
It’s all done for you
Oh, yes
Here we are
We’ll take you on
Here we come
To set the score
This is the situation
It’s all done at dawn
Begin your preparations
For the final call
Oh, no

(Wake up)
Once you had a dream, it was mean
Once you had wings and claws in your dream
You could take off in seconds
Coming and going
Not blink as you preyed on
Much smaller creatures
But now as you wake up
You come to conclusions
And wipe off this story
Of early illusions
Where is your rage now?
And what about freedom
Or me?
This is basic death
As you fall into oceans
Still smelling gorgeous
Leaving ambitions
Growing frustrations
Let’s synchronize and buy us some more time
Let’s synchronize and buy us some more time
Basic Death Is Here
She’s here
Right here
With us
Nothing has been lost
She’s here
Right here
With us
Nothing has been lost
Let’s synchronize and buy us some more time
Let’s synchronize

Infatuation

I don’t mean anything to you
But you got me waiting here
I don’t ring any bells, it’s true
You don’t even notice I’m for real
So I could leave, no harm done
Dispensable, just like the next one
Sticking around
Would make it too hard to even try
Hanging around
Would take so much of your valuable time
So I’ll fuck off
And leave you to your guy
I’ll just fuck off
Thank you for the lie
I got infatuated
I got intoxicated
I got alienated
I got infuriated
I got aggravated
I got so wasted
It got so complicated
I got infatuated
I got intoxicated
I got alienated
No mountain’s too steep
You got me wearing your defeat
Let me say this one more time
This is completely unoriginal
This is completely unoriginal

The Play

“We should stop dreaming”
Read the sign on the pole hanging out as an opening line
“There’s no beginning”
Said the man in the dark holding out an obscure
“I miss you” sign
Now it’s OK,
‘Cause we got time
All the actors got stuck
At the end of the day
It all worked out fine
It’s a good show
In a strange way
We have tried for so long
To escape first row
Now we have to stay
“You killed the feeling, baby”
Said the woman in red
in a rapid and hopeful train of thought
“We’ve reached the ceiling”
Thought the fireman making his way to the altar with
His newfound love
But it’s OK,
‘Cause there’s still time
All the actors got sick
At the end of the night
It all worked out fine
It’s a good show
In a strange way
We have tried for so long
To escape happy ends
We all have to pay
I have never been alive
I have never been alive
We have never seen the light
We all just died
Inside
“Life is for living”
The old man made it clear to the people in line
On their way out
“We should stop dreaming”
Went the chorus of dreams in the hearts
Stopping that night

Where Are You?

Baby, where are you?
Are you gonna let me down?
Baby, where are you?
Are you gonna let me down?
Baby, where are you?
Are you gonna let me down?
Never come around
Never come around
Baby, are you lost?
Are you gonna make me pay?
Baby, are you scared?
Are you miles and miles away?
Never come around
Never come, never come around
Now I’m gonna light another
Cigarette
Feel no regret
I’ll be so strong I can’t go wrong
Now I’m gonna take some time
Look up another smile
Replace you and your ghost
Until tomorrow’s evening sun
Baby, where are you?
You chose to let me down
Baby, where are you?
I’ve been looking all around
Baby, I’ve been low
And minutes run so slow
Cause I know, yes I know
Oh, I know
I’m forever alone

Everybody Knows
03:25
|
|

Her sense took him by surprise
All the sudden he forgot her eyes
Then he managed to tone it down
Couldn’t help picturing how
The world spins faster ‘cause it’s in reverse
And that’s why it doesn’t make much sense
And the end is closer than we might assume
He had no clue
But everybody knows
When lovers get together
They can feel when it’s real
That is clear
And everybody knows
‘Cause they are all experts
In everything they cannot understand
He was walking down a lonesome street
With no one but himself to meet
As he realized he had forgotten
Where he was living
And the world spins faster ‘cause it’s in reverse
While love doesn’t make much sense
And death is closer than we might assume
Yes, it’s all true
‘Cause everybody knows
When people get desperate
And they cling to a fling
For too long
And everybody knows
‘Cause they are all experts
Only thing they fail to see is when it all breaks
Only thing they fail to see are their own mistakes
He was feeling better
Thought he had some reason left
Walking through the shadows
Music played
And the skies had cleared
Once again he’d tricked himself
Into something almost
Approximate
And everybody knew
When they found his body
That the man had no plan and he had no clue
And his life had been in vain
All wasted youth
There was nothing anyone could say
Or even do
And the man had no plan and he had no clue
And his life had been in vain
All wasted youth
There was nothing anyone could say
Or even do
Or even do

Escape Plan

Home
Back from the movies
Sit
A record is on
Place
Dead heart on the table
Hope
It takes you too far
Wasting your time
With your thoughts running wild
You’re a stranger
It’s been a while
Since you were in the right
Kind of place, yeah
Falling apart
While you think you are hot
It’s the danger
Changing the scene
Might as well make this clean
But you’re old
Too old
High
High on perception
Some
Say death is fun, oh
There’s
No need for attention
To heal
Is part of the plan, well...
Defective hope might turn out decisive
You could be dreaming of something new
It all comes down to a cosmic showdown
Can she remember?
Will she remember you too?
Top-notch
Top-notch believer
Top-notch
Top-notch believer
Top-notch
Top-notch believer
Top-notch
Top-notch believer
(I will fade now... into something new)
Darkness gets you dancing
Music warms it up
Time will show up smiling
You can’t fuck it up
Heartbeats give the signal
Dreams can take the blame
She will come around now
She will lead the way
She will come around now
She will lead the way

Burn
Like a star
Cause it’s in you
It’s in you
Seek
To be the one
It’s beyond you
It’s beyond you
What you dream
Never comes true
What you want
It’s never for you
What is there to do
For me
And you?
I’m just another
Mistake you’ll have to make
I’m just another
Mistake you’ll have to make
I’m just another mistake
I’m just another mistake
