WE ARE THE CURE/ WE ARE THE SEA AND I STILL BELIEVE, I STILL BELIEVE/ FOR MANY THEY GO OUT THE SAME WAY THEY WERE DELIVERED, IN A HOSPITAL FIGHTING FOR BREATH
I REFUSE TO LAY DOWN AND SLEEP THAT WAY/ ONE DAY I’LL JUST DISAPPEAR AND WHEN I DO, RUN THE MAGNET OVER THE TAPE/ SO MY LIFE CAN BE WIPED CLEAN, IT CAN BE ERASED
IN THE MEANTIME, LABEL ME SELFISH OR WHATEVER HELPS YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT/ THE UNKNOWN IS STILL MY CHAPERONE AND AS MUCH AS I TRIED TO GO IT ALONE, I’M FOREVER A CONDUIT
JUST SOME SYNAPSES THAT FIRE AT RANDOM AGAINST MY WILL/ AND THE CONSTANT SPILL OF VISCERAL BOMBARDMENT/ THE CONSTANT SPILL OF IMAGES
THE RIVER WILL NEVER SLEEP WHILE I RUN ITS BANKS IN SEARCH OF ITS DESTINY, THE SEA/ WE ARE THE PROMISED LAND IF WE CAN ONLY PLANT OUR FEET IN THE SOIL AND
SEE THE DESTRUCTION THAT WE HAVE EVOLVED INTO/ WE ARE THE CURE/ WE ARE THE SEA AND I STILL BELIEVE

YOUR PLATE IS OVERFLOWING, AND YOU HAVE CONVINCED YOURSELF THAT YOU WILL STARVE/ A PANTOMIME THAT YOU WERE RAISED BY WOLVES AND YET NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER
FROM THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH/ SOLD ON THE DELUSION THAT YOU ARE MAKING A CHANGE WHILE YOU INSTINCTIVELY KNOW YOU ARE JUST CHASING THE LIMELIGHT
EVERY ACT A CHANCE TO CREATE HARMONY DISPELLED AS IT’S BETTER TO BE NOTORIOUS THAN THE TRUTH SEEKERS/ WHERE HAS THE INTELLIGENCE GONE AND WHY ARE WE SO NUMB
WHERE HAVE THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE GONE AND WHY ARE WE SO DUMB/ YOU ARE A POLLUTED POISON WE ALL IMBIBE AND HAVE CREATED A CLIMATE OF FEAR THAT HAS YOU SAFELY SURROUNDED
SO KEEP SELLING YOUR INTOXICATING FACADE OF HARDSHIP WHEN THE REAL WORLD BURNING ALL AROUND YOU
AND YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO PUT IT OUT/ SO I CRY OUT IN THE HOPE YOU WILL SEE THE SMOULDERING ASHES OF THE DAMAGE DONE BUT YOU WILL REMAIN OBLIVIOUS IN
THE VACUUM THAT COMES FROM NEVER BEING WRONG/ YOU’RE A FRAUD AND YOU’RE A FAKE AND YOU WILL CHASE THE SPOTLIGHT NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES
AND I’M A FRAUD AND YOU’RE A FAKE AND WE WILL CHASE THE LIMELIGHT OH FOR HEAVENS SAKE
AND WE’RE ALL FRAUDS AND WE’RE ALL FAKES AND WE WILL CHASE THESE FALSE IDOLS AND THIS BAG OF SNAKES/ THEY HAVE US DEEPLY DIVIDED AND THAT IS ALL IT TAKES

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU WERE MINE/ THE FORECAST READ FOR PERFECT WEATHER/ THERE WAS A TIME YOU WANTED TO BE MINE/ THE SAILS BLEW IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
BUT I BROUGHT THE STORMS OF MY DEPRESSION/ I BROUGHT THE FLOODS AND THE INEVITABLE FAMINE/ I AM THE SWARM OF FEARS THAT WILL LAST FOREVER/ WHEN ALL I WANTED
WAS NOT TO BE A BURDEN/ BUT I COULDN’T COPE WITH THE LONELINESS THAT I CREATED SO I SEARCHED THE STARS AND THE HEAVENS TO FIND A WAY BACK TO YOUR STATION
WHERE YOU’RE MY BEACON, YOU’RE MY SALVATION/ THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU WERE MINE/ THE FORECAST READ FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER/ THERE WAS A TIME YOU WANTED TO BE MINE
THE SAILS BLEW IN THE WRONG DIRECTION/ BUT I DIDN’T WANT TO LIVE IN THE NOTHING, SO I WON’T TAKE THE PRESCRIPTION, AND I FOUGHT AGAINST THE WAVES
JUST TO MAKE IT BACK TO YOU/ BUT I COULDN’T COPE WITH THE LONELINESS THAT I CREATED SO I SEARCHED THE STARS AND THE HEAVENS TO FIND A WAY BACK TO YOUR STATION
WHERE YOU’RE MY BEACON YOU’RE MY SALVATION/ YOU’RE MY SALVATION

YOU LIVE IN A STATE OF PERPETUAL MOTION BECAUSE IF YOU STAND STILL, YOU’LL REALISE THAT YOU’RE DYING, THAT YOU'RE DYING, OH THAT YOU'RE DYING
YOU ALWAYS FIND ME IN THE DARKEST CORNER OF THE ROOM, WHERE YOU WILL SAVE ME, WHERE YOU WILL SAVE ME FROM MYSELF/ YOU ALWAYS FIND ME IN THE DARKEST CORNER OF THE ROOM
WHERE YOU WILL SAVE ME, WHERE YOU WILL SAVE ME FROM THE TRUTH/ YOU ARE ALL THE COLOUR I NEED FOR MY IMPATIENT HEART, FOR IT TO SUCCEED/ YOU ARE ALL THE COLOUR I NEED
FOR MY BITTER HEART, FOR IT TO BE FREE/ YOU ARE ALL THE COLOUR I NEED FOR MY LIFE TO BECOME, BECOME A NEW SEED / YOU ARE ALL THE COLOUR I NEED FOR MY IMPATIENT HEART,
FOR IT TO BE FREE/ SO YOU SUMMON THE SKY TO KEEP THE PASS FROM CLOSING OVER AND YOU’RE READY TO ESCAPE/ YOU ALWAYS FIND ME ON THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS/ YOU ALWAYS FIND ME
IN THE BLACKEST PLACE WITHOUT LIGHT/ YOU SALT THE EARTH AND SET FIRE TO EVERYTHING, SO THERE IS NO TURNING AROUND NOW/ SO JUST SAY THE WORDS, SO JUST SAY THE WORDS
AND WE’RE GONE, AND WE’RE NEVER COMING BACK, WE’RE NEVER COMING BACK/ YOU LIVE IN A DREAM BECAUSE THE COLD HARD TRUTH HAS WORN YOU DOWN/ YOU WISH SOMEONE WOULD
RESCUE YOU AND TAKE YOU BACK TO THE BEGINNING SO YOU CAN START AGAIN/ YOU LIVE IN A STATE OF PERPETUAL MOTION BECAUSE IF YOU STAND STILL YOU WILL REALISE THAT YOU’RE DYING
SO YOU SUMMON THE SKY TO KEEP THE PASS FROM CLOSING OVER/ YOU SALT THE EARTH AND SET FIRE TO EVERYTHING, SO THERE IS NO TURNING AROUND NOW
YOU ARE ALL THE COLOUR I NEED FOR MY LIFE TO BECOME A NEW SEED/ SO JUST SAY THE WORDS, SO JUST SAY THE WORDS AND WE'RE GONE, AND WE'RE NEVER COMING BACK
WE’RE NEVER COMING BACK

THE CROSSES WATCH OUR EVERY MOVE/ PENNED IN WITHOUT FENCES JUST A STEADY GRIP ON THE MIND/ WE ARE SO WELL TRAINED AND AFRAID TO BE ANYTHING APART FROM WHAT WE ARE FATED
OUR MOVEMENTS ARE LIMITED IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT CRITERIA WE HAVE CHECKED OFF/ JUST ENOUGH ROPE GIVEN TO HAVE US AT THE MERCY OF OUR OWN ARROGANCE AND PRIDE
WHY BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS, WHY CHALLENGE THE PREDATION JUST FALL IN LINE/ THE DAYS WEAR YOU DOWN EVER SO SLIGHTLY THAT YOU DON’T EVEN NOTICE
BECOME THE NEUROSIS THAT YOU NEVER WANTED/ THE GRIP WILL TIGHTEN EVER SO SLIGHTLY THAT YOU WON’T EVEN NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE LOST ALL CONTROL
IT TAKES MORE THAN JUST A STRONG MIND TO STAND UP TO THE INVISIBLE CONSTANT PRESSURE
THERE IS A PLACE BEYOND THE PINES WHERE YOU WILL FIND ME IF YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO LOOK PAST THEIR MISDIRECTION AND EMBRACE THE DISTANT DARK

GOLD AND SILVER TAR THE WILD FARADAY CAGE OF OUR THOUGHTS/ TRINKETS KEEP GAZE AVERTED AND LOBOTOMISED/ FALLEN DOWN A WELL OF CONSTANT NEEDS, WE HAVE BECOME THE CONTEST
OF A SHALLOW SHIFT IN LANDSCAPES AND BEING ADMIRED AND LOVED EVERY SECOND IS KEEPING US FROM THE SOURCE/ PLUG IN AND PRESS PAUSE WE ARE CORRUPTED/ CORRUPTED BECAUSE
WE ALL WANT TO BE SWEPT UP IN THE RAGING TORRENT OF OUR OBLIVION/ KIND SOUL YOU ARE A FEATHER AND A SUPERNOVA IN THE SAME BREATH/ YOU LOOK TO THE RAIN ON THE ROAD
AND IT MAKES YOU SMILE/ AND IT MAKES ME SMILE/ YOU CAN SELL ME YOUR PAIN AND I’LL TAKE IT AWAY AND I WILL NEVER FEEL THE SAME/ ALWAYS WE WILL BE PLAYED TO NEVER
FEEL THE RAIN/ JUST BOW AND STAY THE SAME/ YOU CAN SELL ME YOUR PAIN AND I’LL TAKE IT AWAY/ WE SAID WE WOULD GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP
THAT WE WOULD NEVER LET THE FIRE DIE DOWN/ WE WOULD STAY TRUE TO OUR CONVICTIONS AND NEVER STRAY FROM THE PATH

NOTHING’S SACRED NOTHING’S PRECIOUS
WE LEFT OUR EMPATHY BEHIND AND FACED OUR REFECTION MORE THAN EVER/ WHILE THE FIELDS HAVE BEEN SET ALIGHT OUR ATTENTION FEIGNS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
OUR COMPASSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF EXCUSES AND WE ARE RUNNING BLIND/ WASH YOUR PILLS DOWN WITH VICE UPON VICE AND LET YOUR EYES CLOUD OVER
FORGET THE FACT THAT SOMEONE IS COUNTING THE BODIES AND FALL INTO THE BLISS/ WHILE YOUR NATURE IS CORRUPTED TO THEIR PUZZLE
YOU ARE A PIECE, A PAWN, THE ETERNALLY DISTRACTED, THE ETERNALLY LOST/ YOU CAN NEVER BE ALONE AND YET YOU WILL NEVER BE KNOWN
THEIR SKILLS ARE SO HONED YOU’RE NOT AWARE THAT THE VEIL IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE/ NOTHING’S SACRED NOTHING’S PRECIOUS
WE LEFT OUR EMPATHY BEHIND AND FACED OUR REFECTION MORE THAN EVER/ WHILE THE FIELDS HAVE BEEN SET ALIGHT OUR ATTENTION FEIGNS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
OUR COMPASSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF EXCUSES AND WE ARE RUNNING BLIND

I WALK THROUGH ANOTHER CITY AND WISH THERE WASN’T ANOTHER HUMAN TO BE FOUND/ THE STREETS ARE TEEMING WITH WILDLIFE/ THAT THESE MONOLITHS OF MAN’S ACHIEVEMENTS
ARE COVERED IN FOLIAGE AND IN DISREPUTE/ THAT NATURE HAD FOUND A WAY TO OVERCOME OUR COMPULSION TO EXPAND AND CONSUME EVERYTHING IN OUR WAY
WE HAVE PERVERTED OUR ABILITY TO LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS/ TOLD WHAT WE NEED RELENTLESSLY OUR PSYCHES ARE BEATEN INTO SUBMISSION/ WHEN ALL WE NEED IS A LITTLE FOOD SOME
SHELTER AND THE LOVE OF THOSE WHO MATTER THE MOST NOT THE VACUOUS LOVE OF A MILLION STRANGERS AND THE GADGETS THEY COMPEL US TO USE JUST TO DISTRACT US
I WALK THROUGH ANOTHER CITY AND WISH THERE WASN’T ANOTHER HUMAN TO BE FOUND/ THE STREETS ARE TEEMING WITH WILDLIFE/ THAT THESE MONOLITHS OF MAN’S ACHIEVEMENTS ARE
COVERED IN FOLIAGE AND IN DISREPUTE/ THAT NATURE HAD FOUND A WAY TO OVERCOME OUR COMPULSION TO EXPAND AND CONSUME EVERYTHING IN OUR WAY

WE WERE DISTRACTED AND MISSED THE PLEA IN YOUR EYES/ YOU FELT DETRACTED AND LEFT ABANDONED/ WE LOST YOU TO THE DEAFENING SOUND OF FEEDBACK FROM DESPERATION
YOU WERE ALONE IN A CROWDED ROOM/ YOU WERE MISSING IN COMPANY/ CAUGHT IN A CYCLE, YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY/ CLOAKED EVERYONE WITH YOUR SLEIGHT OF HAND SO THEY
WOULDN’T SUFFER WHILE THE WORLD CONSUMED YOUR INNOCENCE/ I WILL SEE YOU IN THE REFLECTION OF THE SEA AND REMEMBER WHAT BEAUTIFUL LIVES THESE WORDS GAVE US
WE WERE DISTRACTED AND MISSED THE PLEA IN YOUR EYES/ YOU WERE DETRACTED AND LEFT ABANDONED
YOU WERE TRYING TO LIVE WITH NO CAPACITY TO FORGIVE YOURSELF/ I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE LET US IN THEN WE COULD BE SINGING I SEE BLUE JETS ARM IN ARM IN ARM IN ARM FOREVER
