Once we've made sense of our world, we wanna go fuck up everybody else's, because his or her truth doesn't match mine. But this is the problem. Truth is individual calculation. Which means because we all have different perspectives, there isn't just one singular truth, is there? Hold on, down and deeper, down we're going Way down through the floor Oh-oh, don't you wanna see what's at the core? Truth is the icy clear stream we dream about Drinking from But it will liquidate liars should they rewire It's smiling bomb Hold on, down and down and down and down We're melting down their throne Ho-ho, down through every superstition Virgin, whore, and crone Hold on, down through all the fear gods To the very truth alone Hold on, down and down, we're going to the bone Truth is the permanent path we laugh about But then avoid Thinkin' we all know the way we strayed behind Self-destroyed (Go) Hold on, down and down and down and down We're drilling through their stone Ho-ho, down through every fairy story Built to keep us prone Hold on, down through every government With gun and guided drone Ho-ho, down and down, we're going to the bone Rain on me Rain on me, to me, to me, to me Rain on me Rain on me, to me, to me, to me Rain all the truth down Down on me Raining so much You make a sea You make a sea A sea we can sail Then sink like a stone Down to the truth Down to the bone Down to the bone

Six feet underground We move backwards now At the speed of sound We are nowhere now Too much time to kill Too much wasted ink Too much everything There's no need to think Here above the clouds I am free of all the crowds And I float above the stars And I feel the rush of love Looking down at Earth It is luminous observed We had every chance But we never learn We just make it worse What we don't deserve The principle of love Has no meaning here 'Cause if you don't adhere Better get out while you can Here above the clouds I am free of all the crowds And I float above the stars And I feel the rush of love Looking down at Earth It is luminous observed Here above the clouds I am free of all the crowds And I float above the stars And I feel the rush of love Looking down at Earth It is luminous observed Six feet underground We move backwards now At the speed of sound We are nowhere now

I'm tired of weakness Tired of my feet of clay I'm tired of days to come I'm tired of yesterday And all the worn out things that I ever said Now it's much too late The words stay in my head So the day will begin again Take comfort from me It's up to you now You're still here and you'll dig in again That's comfort to you It's up to you now So Pariah, you'll begin again Take comfort from me And I will take comfort from you I'm tired of Facebook Tired of my failing health I'm tired of everyone And that includes myself Well, being alone now It doesn't bother me But not knowing if you are That's been hell, you see So the day will begin again Take comfort from me It's up to you now You're still here and you'll dig in again That's comfort to you It's up to you now So Pariah, you'll begin again Take comfort from me It will take time Don't you worry Don't worry 'bout a thing 'Cause nothing really dies Nothing really ends

Here in the wreckage The winter is hard I sleep in the same clothes That I drag through the mud And if you ask me Nothing's changed There's nowhere else I can go So I stay We're writhing rats We make beds in the straw And then we build houses Paint our names on the door And if you ask me again Is this life? I don't see I have a choice But I still smile And bide my time I who have no roots And nowhere to go And as for the future Well I really don't know But if you ask me I will nod But if you ask me... Here I am Here I am My dear wife And my children of God The borders were already drawn for us Hold on to life In this refuge of dirt And search for a place you can breathe again It's not a crime I'd love to see you again Sometime soon But will you give back to me now What you stole?

Somewhere on the highway With the luminous moon Swimming after dark and then Awaken to you Hold on, hold onto the minute And sing it, and live it It's always there Hold on, hold onto the minute And feel it, believe it And time is moving on And listening to the song We get older, together And every time we breathe Another moment leaves us forever, to the never Hold on, hold onto the minute And sing it, and live it It's always there Hold on, hold onto the minute And feel it, believe it Permanating, celebrating Now we're levitating High above the clouds Yesterday, is the place where all your friends will always Permanating, celebrating Now we're levitating High above the clouds Yesterday, is the place where all your dreams are always And time is moving on And listening to the song We get older, together And every time we breathe Another moment leaves us forever, to the never Hold on, hold onto the minute And sing it, and live it It's always there Hold on, hold onto the minute And feel it, believe it Permanating, celebrating Now we're levitating High above the clouds Yesterday is the place where all your friends will always Permanating, celebrating Now we're levitating High above the clouds Yesterday is the place where all your dreams are always Hold on, hold onto the minute And sing it, and live it It's always there Hold on, hold onto the minute And feel it, believe it Hold on, hold onto the minute And sing it, and live it It's always there Hold on, hold onto the minute And feel it, believe it

All that I know is You'll be gone before I get home Heart breaker butterfly On a wheel before I let go Nothing left for us Nothing is left but the blank tapes Nothing left for us Nothing is left but the blank tapes In your car Once I could hold you And the world reflected back at me We lost perspective On the things that are and love that seems Nothing left for us Nothing is left but the blank tapes Nothing left for us Nothing is left but the blank tapes In your car

I live in the flat next door And I can hear you fuck your girlfriend through the wall But the only thing we share Is the slightest nod as we're passing on the stairs But behind the closed doors The bees were buzzing Inciting me to war You're penitent maybe But it's really not your fault you fail to see (We) We who eat the darkness (We) We who eat the darkness I take out the trash at night And on Thursdays I go shopping for supplies I walk my son to school And I seem to have the same problems as you But what you will see Are the threads of what I want you to believe And all that you hold dear Is under threat from someone all too near (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) Well, you lost control And your kids became confused Among the powder kegs With nothing left to lose So now your chickens Are coming home to roost Do you think the fight is real? Do you feel my teeth are snapping at your heels? You who tell me how to live Then you feed me with your poison till I'm sick But pretend that we're not here If you look the other way we disappear We want you to ignore The people who eat darkness from next door (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) Well you lost control And your kids became confused Among the powder kegs With nothing left to lose So now your chickens Are coming home to roost To roost

I'm truly sorry but This is my addiction You're deep in my system In my system I gave it all up I gave it up to show you that I care To show you that I could But don't you ever ask me to give up you I gave up all the late nights I gave up haunting bars I gave up all the drinking And trashing all the cars Yeah Yeah I gave it all up I gave up all the gambling I gave up picking fights I gave up saying sorry I gave up being polite I gave it up I gave it all up I give it up You're in my I give it all up I give it up You're in my I give it up I give it up I give it all up I give it up I give it all up I give it up You're in my I give it up I give it up You're in my I give it up T’es sous le sable T’es dans l’eau I give it all up Give it up J'abandonne You're in my You're in, you're in my I give it all up You're in my You're in my

Great God, I don't believe in you But still I will do what you want me to Stand up and fight in the city streets This much I know you expect of me And the ones who are given it all The good looks, the wealth And the charm and the innocence They are all gonna fall But I will take it back Pale God, I had a dream of you And how you respond when your ego's bruised They laugh and sneer 'cause they know you're weak But I'll make them pay with an IED And the ones who are given it all The good looks, the wealth And the charm and the innocence They are all gonna fall But I will take it back Whining God, who the fuck are you? Detonation for the greater good Swim here, come and hear my heart 'Cause when the world breaks You will feel the blast

It's not what you'll possess It's how you will express The essence of you It's not the wage you earn It's about the things you learn And the love that you feel It's not what you'll conceal It's all that you'll reveal That will make you be you The perfection of you Now the shadows are long And the cities are lost to rain And when you wake up every day To find nothing's changed But before you can speak You will learn that it's all the same And the dreams that you will have Are public domain And the country lanes are decked With the time to come It's not the years you pass It's about the moments that last Forever in you Now the shadows are long And the cities are lost to rain When you wake up every day To find nothing's changed But before you can speak You will learn that it's all the same And the dreams that you will have Are public domain Now the time that is gone Doesn't matter to anyone When the country lanes are decked With the time yet to come Well the world is exhausted And the wreckage is all around But the arc of your life Could still be profound Don't be afraid to die Don't be afraid to be alive Don't be afraid to die Don't be afraid to be alive Don't be afraid
