Where do we start? We have to start… somewhere We have to try… something We have to try… What’s it about? What did you find out I can’t get through right now All of the lines are down Take the man at what he says Take the man at what he says But is that smart? No that’s not smart I can’t stand up, for you I can’t stand up, any more Stop I always stop short Gravity breaks the law Which is it? True, or not False? Take the man at what he says Take the man at what he says Take the man at what he says Was there ever a doubt Take the man at what he says Put the fire out But is that smart, no it’s not smart I can’t stand up for you, I can’t stand up, any more. So I breathe in The last words out The last words, out (You want to, learn how to swim You’re in, over your head in, over your head) Take the man at what he says Was there ever a doubt Take the man at what he says Put the fire out

There, you see them, they’re coming to watch you I told you this was the game Now breathe, and give them an answer One and zero anyway You face it when you have to The ending is a give away Are you with it, are you with it, are you with the fiction now It’s been done here before That’s been pointed out Do you like or not Well, you’re part of this crowd Go right now Get away from the door ‘cause they’re coming in Fair? To know that this an after thought from some compromise Severe, I fear is the answer does it come as any surprise Just face it when you have to You’re the winner, here’s the prize

I don’t want to be the one to tell you, somewhere it all went wrong for the end, waiting for the end This place was always broken, but not a total loss for the end, waiting for the end Someone tell me where I am! Someone tell me where I am! Someone… for the end, waiting for the end Up ahead there is a clock now, this countdown, is live for the end, waiting for the end Got to get in line to finally cash out, to cash out, in time for the end, waiting for the end They can see you, and hear you, the robots will survive for the end, waiting for the end So take what you can Don’t look at the sun Gone from yellow to red again She tortures everyone I don’t want to be the one to tell you, you’re holding on too tight. for the end, waiting for the end And I don’t remember if she said it, but I think this was the line... for the end, waiting for the end “Look away from, the pretty world, there isn’t any time” for the end, waiting for the end

she makes me nervous you know whenever she comes around around I don’t remember, the reason control, I don’t have the feel for it What can I do What can I do She makes me nervous too Whatever, she makes me spin Why does it matter if she, used to Have such a cynical grin What can I do What can I do She turned the Inside outside, upside, down She turned the inside outside, upside, down She turned the Inside outside, upside, down She turned the inside outside, upside, down

Don’t ask me “what is this?” These sounds don't make any sense This is a beautiful noise The meaning is disconnected This feels like a child’s game. Who wants the microphone? Why don’t you go to your room And play along with this… ok? This is a beautiful noise This is a beautiful noise Which side… Which side is the enemy on? These sounds don’t make any sense These sounds don’t make any sense Which side… Which side is the enemy on? The sounds don’t make any sense The sounds don’t make any sense This is a beautiful noise This is a beautiful noise

some of the mistakes, are very loud they got made I’m afraid It’s getting hard here to keep it out You can’t avoid my face what you put your faith in, it's flaming out want to make this my fault? I can count I can count on it I can count, I can count on it I can count on it, I can count begin with flowers, so brilliant love pretend now, based on what he says begin to sour, any minute now I have my hands on my own soul Bought up fortunes for everyone I won’t hold it against you He is the one that we bought out Look at us now! He is the one that we bought out, Look at us now He is the one that we bought out, Look at us now New lines divide New lines divide The switch is on, at last there was a reset We want out, we want out of, we want of here I can’t count on anyone I can’t count on you… Take your time, you can test us And find what you’re looking for So we all get the answer now It’s all the same as it was before New lines divide New lines divide

If you were the one, defeated, would you turn to run If you had the time to hold, could you mind the clock if you were, in control, could you turn it off and If you had the combination, could you turn the locks? In a few words These are the bits and the bytes and the brands In a few words I don’t think so? Maybe you’re wrong about it In a few words Somebody turn it off, allright to shut it down In a few words Tell me what this is, does anyone know I should have known When I, look back, All I got was a panic attack Who do I, Who do I, Who do I Have to thank for that? In a few words You have to know that, nobody makes it out In a few words Your turn is coming, yeah your turn is right now In a few words Don’t be so dramatic, no reason to take it down In a few words Tell me what this is, nobody knows (about it) I should have known When I, look back, All I got was a panic attack Who do I, Who do I, Who do I Have to thank for that?

Smart Speak 03:59
None of this is real, and even less is fair We all fall down These are all the dreams I’ve dreamt of going back But we can’t go there Is this an agreement or an concession And how can you tell You shouldn’t try to push imagination (‘til it falls apart) break what we know There are no technical, difficulties (please stand by) Ready, set, go ... Believe me, when I say this is not your fault We all fall down The signs were all removed, replaced to specify We can’t go there Am I remembering the future (or the past) And how can you tell Wanting for something that we haven’t seen (but we will) To break what we know There is nothing we can do to make it stop (I promise you) Ready, set, go You shouldn’t try to push imagination It breaks... what we... know

Bomb Cyclone 03:59
Slow, down Millions of words, that I can’t understand What, to do Never in doubt, they know what they think is the truth Now we know Make any sense, yes it does, no it doesn’t She doesn’t quite understand Are you popular, state your position She doesn’t quite understand Let’s begin, again, please pay attention She doesn’t quite understand I needed more practice, To make a prediction She doesn’t quite understand Don’t talk to the press, Don’t talk to the press! So, Clear That they don’t play the same game, over here Find, the words None of this is true, or is it? We’ll Pretend, to care. No one ever mentions, that name She doesn’t quite understand Are you popular, state your position She doesn’t quite understand Let’s begin, again, please pay attention She doesn’t quite understand I needed more practice, To make a prediction She doesn’t quite understand Don’t talk to the press, Don’t talk to the press! Fall down, Into the trap, I set Ashes, ashes All fall… Down, we go Make any sense yes it does, no it doesn’t Down, we go Make any sense yes it does, no it doesn’t
