| 1. I'm Awake All Night |
| Pendulum, I’m hanging on A wire stretched from the moon I’m awake all night Cross familiar ground Entangled in analytical mess Alone, I’m awake all night The wolves parade Criminals train their young Barons make Their money back on drugs The streets are lit like golden grids And weave for as far as I see from here The wolves parade Criminals train their young Barons make Their money back on drugs Lover’s hide Their bodies under sheets Like two ghosts who fell asleep I still trace an arc like clockwork Swing like a couple who are bored at home I’m awake all night |
| 2. Green Eyed |
| In the past I must have blocked things out a lot more than I do now I'm seeing things that you don't even do Throw me down a hole I've bounced myself off every wall in truth now In a fiction car that fires me around the room When you arrive it's always aimed at you So if I ask you again, will you please? Will you please? Leave me If I am green eyed will you leave? Will you leave? Please, you don't need me Accusations spark my mouth a gun that shoots abuse at you now A lawyer picking pitfalls in the truth Haze my lonely eyes with promiscuity alcohol induced now And these the eyes that only look at you You don't deserve the shit I've put you through Please, if I ask, interrogate, leave me here, leave me here And leave no trace If I am green eyed, and my downfall's social fear You need space To call it conversation, to call it innocent To call it your agenda, to call it bold intent To call it suffocation, to call it chastity To call it paranoia, to call it OCD |
| 3. Smokescreen |
| The silence in the room was starting to freak you out ‘Til your diligent circus sparked another riot You could hear a pin drop, throw, and we heard the first pin drop Flames shot higher and higher Now the fire lights a thousand sparkles round my feet Smokescreen feed me dreams of love! I couldn’t get a job for love and nor for money My hometown streets are filled with kids that struggle just like me I remember being propositioned by the military And it was only under false pretence that I had agreed to this Smokescreen feed me dreams of love! I scored my name in a coin and placed it in the ground It’ll be maybe in a thousand years a relic that they found The archaeologists would present their work From the battle of the men with the itchy fingers And a man with a history I can’t believe it’s started, I can’t believe I’m here Smokescreen feed me dreams of love! |
| 4. Excuses To Fall |
| I was stood in the corner of a room In the shadows of the ones you knew before me I was stood in the corner of a room In the spotlight of the way you felt about me Don’t you tell the world anything They don’t need to know that I feel the same I sat down in the corner of the room And you were dancing Trying for my attention I sat down in the corner of the room And you were dancing I could see your intention Don’t you tell the world anything They don’t need to know that I feel the same We danced ‘til there was nobody left in the hall We were flying high above here We danced but I was making excuses to fall And I would fall as if they hit me |
| 5. Jester |
| Oh my darling, look where we are We all sit here patiently Waiting for our cue to clap They delve deep inside our heads Holding all our morals back Jesters win the crowd to their side Spinning plates that orbit in the sky Plates that spin a dozen lives If peace is war’s illusive prize Learn to love your enemy ‘Til then we’re all destructive, you and me All the villains have been tumbled But all our foes have tendencies In some way they’ll cause us grief But you my foe have tendencies Show resentment, break the peace Jesters carried out their plans But there is not a promised land quite yet Hope has papered across the cracks If love can fill a void this vast Learn to love your enemy And start to make it right between you and me Hold perfection in your head And try to make it real The circus we are born and bred The circus we are born and bred The circus we are born and bred Hold perfection in your head It might not happen ‘til we’re dead But learn to love your enemy And start to heal the cracks between you and me The circus we are born and bred The circus we are born and bred |
| 6. You Have Me Surrounded |
| I'd like to sow my seeds Before the wind blows I'd like to lay my wreaths Before the grass grows I try to fight the devil down Before he screws my soul You ask me if I'm coming around Well I tell you I don't know I don't know who you are But I don't need this now I don't know who you are But you have me surrounded I ain't gonna take your call I refuse to be disgraced This time I'll give you back your ball But if you do it again I'll wipe the smile from your face You're like a bullet by surprise I would catch you if I could You ask me if I'm coming around Well I know I really should I don't know who you are But I don't need this now I don't know who you are But you have me surrounded I'll close my eyes to you Close my ears to you Close my mind I'll close my eyes to you Close my ears to you Close my mind |
| 7. Wish You Well |
| It’s different now Now I don’t know a sole And nothing’s scrawled in the stone It’s hard to crawl When you’ve already walked Stay quiet, you’ve already talked It’s easier to take my hand I wish you would, I wish you would I’m wasting my life Trying to figure out why I can’t sleep at night It’s pulling, it’s tied And it’s bound to inside And it hurts when you leave me And it’s easy now to understand I wish you would, Say you will I wish you would, Say you will I know you’re finding it hard I know you’re finding it hard I know you’re finding it hard I know you’re finding it hard She said it’s easier to leave it there I wish you well, I wish you well I wish you well, I wish you well I wish you well, I wish you well I wish you well, I wish you well |
| 8. Piano Song |
| Last night the moon cast shadows on my wall You left but I want more, I want more Shadows of tears now drowning all our years I miss you lying here, lying here I never even saw your face when you told me that you had outgrown I never even saw your face but I can still sense you here in my home I pulled the curtains wide and moved the moon Just to see if you saw it too, saw it too I watched the phone for hours I’m waiting here I still can’t take it in, take it in I never even saw your face when you told me your reasons to go I never even saw your face, you’re just weary of feeling this low I need you tonight I need you tonight I need you tonight, tonight I never even saw your face when we talked of the time that we met I never even saw your face, you just whispered you’d never forget You just whispered you’d never forget You just whispered you’d never forget I need you tonight I need you tonight I need you tonight |
| 9. Sleep |
| Stay, and take the weight off my shoulders I’m a spaceman tonight caught a flying phobia Well it’s really the same as the things that I told you Breathe, can’t take my head out the water I’m a dreamer tonight caught a sleeping disorder But it’s really the same as the things that I told you I can’t sleep now for thinking through I’m risking everything for you Can’t you see I’m desperate to hold you It’s all gridlocked tonight but the hard shoulder But it’s really the same as the things that I told you I can’t sleep now for thinking through I’m risking everything for you Now I’m here a worried beholder But it’s fading away ‘til the worry’s over Well it’s really the same as the things that I told you I can’t sleep now for thinking through I’m risking everything for you I can’t sleep now for thinking through I’m breaking rules to be with you |
| 10. The Swordfight |
| Weakness underneath your hard shell Hid away like evidence that leads right to the truth Back then those days I treat like lessons In adulthood each day ends faster than they used to I will not leave you now I will not leave you now This talk of common ground It’s not important now The time it takes to lift yourself The time it takes to lift yourself A date set so far out in the distance Came fast I almost missed it It caught me on my heels My face stays blank as a canvas So you can’t see the state I’m in Believe me I am aching That date’s upon us now And we’re left to search like hounds In this deserted town For what’s important now The time it takes to lift yourself The time it takes to lift yourself The time it takes to lift yourself The time it takes to lift yourself I’m carving statues in my mind of us two fighting swords in hand The swordfight strikes and sparks into life At arms length well we can’t hurt each other, can we love at all? At arms length it’s all in the mind |
| 11. Guards & Gunmen |
| They grabbed my flailing arm They grabbed me like a naughty child And sent me to a room The other inmates spoke the same as me And in the prisoner’s yard The sun brought me through blindfold cloth The outline of the Alps And stood before them guards and gunmen Oh, see I’m not afraid That armed soldiers patrol the halls Oh, see I’m not afraid There’s too much of this world I haven’t explored yet Underneath the hay A truck that drove me from the camp The stabbing bayonets That scoured my hideout, rested on my skin For weeks I lived on maize And lost myself in Italian alps Guerrillas helped me north You concealed me in your home Oh, so much I thank you for Your hospitality is worth More than I can give in return When people like you are the salt of the earth You grabbed my outstretched arms And said you’d almost lost your hope We don’t mean to cry Just happy that you made it home I said maybe I’ll return Maybe in my wise old age And later in my days I will tell you of The camp and the Alps and the maize and the Switzerland days And the plane and the train that brought me back And standing on my street The sun brought me through scattered clouds The outline of the homes And hanging from them A hero’s welcome |
