01. The Big Sleep

I was in the car and you were driving
I was in the car and I told you everything

The good attemps, the big offences
Ground principles in the rear view mirror
My big mouth, stormy horizon
Your hot blood in the rear view window

I'm losing myself, you speed
I'm losing myself, you speed
I'm losing myself, you speed
I'm losing myself, you speed

Silent question marks convinced in your breath
Unwanted options going through my head

The big sleep has leather seats
And rain on the windshield
The big sleep has leather seats
And rain on the windshield

No, we had to do what we did
At the wrong time in the wrong place
Waiting in vain for someone else
In vain for someone
Waiting in vain for someone else to show the way

I was in the car and you were driving
I was in the car I told you everything

The small deaths, the small miracles
New requests brought us in here
The unnamed road ahead
Who knows may lead us nowhere

I'm losing myself, you speed
I'm losing myself, you speed
I'm losing myself, you speed
I'm losing myself, you speed

I can hear you going through my head

The big sleep has leather seats
And rain on the windshield
The big sleep has leather seats
And rain on the windshield

No, we had to do what we did
At the wrong time in the wrong place
Waiting in vain for someone else
In vain for someone else to show the way

No, we had to do what we did
At the wrong time in the wrong place
Waiting in vain for someone else
In vain for someone else
Waiting in vain for someone else to show the way
Waiting in vain for someone else to show the way
To show the way

So that was that

02. White Knuckle Mountains

Strangers, the faces have changed
But lovers, I still remember

The deep black noise
The crossing roads
The soft blue rivers
The purple hills
The faint explosions
Echo cosmic shivers

I'll leave the sadness behind
I'm killing the doubt from my mind
I know I'm strong enough
I keep telling myself

I'll leave the sadness behind
I'm killing the doubt from my mind
I must be strong enough
But now I know that there's no way

But now I know that there's
No way we can change the past
No way we can make peace last
There's no way we control the future
We can, we can make peace last
That there's no way we could change

The great escape
The soothing rain
The misty winding highways
The warm round curves
A million miles
In the endless burning universe

(No way)
I want to hear what you hear
I want to see what you see
Synchronised, collective minds
Our faces lose their meaning

I'll leave the sadness behind
I'm killing the doubt from my mind
I know I'm strong enough
I keep telling myself

I'll leave the sadness behind
I'm killing the doubt from my mind
I must be strong enough

But now I know that there's
No way we can change the past
No way we can make peace last
There's no way we control the future
We can, we can make peace last
That there's no way

But now I know there's no way
White knuckle mountains
They tell me all

I'll leave the sadness behind
I'm killing the doubt from my mind
I must be strong enough

I'll leave the sadness behind
I'm killing the doubt from my mind
I must be strong enough

03. New Recruit

The answer out there, is blowing me away

Warning!
Take a minute and stop
Hear the approaching distant sound
Rumbling, tumbling, coming right to ya
Every day, closer

Warning!
There's no way out
Closer to breaking, coming apart and now I'm
Rumbling, tumbling, coming right down at
Every day, closer

Tell me!
What went wrong
Cause I fear no thing as all alone within
For too long for too lost far I've gone

Come, hop on board I said now
The word is is out
The world's on fire temperature's rising
All the pressure waiting to come out
Better get the hell out!

Bang!
We're back on track
Bang bang!
We're back on the map
Bang bang bang!
Right back on track

The answer out there, is blowing me away
The answer out there, is blowing me away

And now!
What do we do?
Walk away never looking back again no
(Yeah yeah!)
This is not the time
(Get out get out!)
This is no the place

So embrace
A reconsideration
It's a going, creeping realisation
Rumbling, tumbling, going right through us,
(Through us, through us)

We want you, we want you
We want you as a new recruit
We want you, we want you
We want you as a new recruit

We want you, we want you
We want you as a new recruit
We want you, we want you
We want you as a new recruit

Bang!
We're back on track
Bang bang!
We're back on the map
Bang bang bang!
Right back on track

The answer out there, is blowing me away
The answer out there, is blowing me away
(The only)

04. Dusk Becomes A Dawn

Staring through the window
Dusk becomes a dawn
For hours and hours I go on

Thoughts have escaped me
Walking circles in the night
Quietly I sing forgotten lullabies

Gently getting used to the night

Learning to live with what I can't leave behind
Learning to live with what I've got
So good that I have known you
Loved you, held you before we had to go

Staring through the window
Dusk becomes a dawn
Sometimes I feel your whispers in my ears
They never knew the love that we shared was true

Oh, but a man is made of violence
Sadly! Sadly! Violence! Violence!
Oh but a man is made of suffering

Someone's misfortune is always to die
Someone's misfortune is a lie

So good that I could hold you
Good that I could love you for a while

Sometimes I feel you here
Walking circles in the night

05. Dead End Lane

Tonight I wanna go, I wanna know how to flow
How to let go, how to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna walk the road of the pleasure
Domes lose myself in the noise in the neon glow

The thrill the chill the suspense the thrill
The suspense the desire
Sensation most intense, so intense
With my endless supplies

Tonight I wanna go, I wanna know how to flow
How to let go, how to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna raise my hands in the sky
Lose track of place and time
I'm going round round round

The thrill the chill the suspense
The thrill the suspense the desire
Sensation most intense, so intense
With my endless supplies

All the way down I'm driving the dead end lane
Away from the life that was never the truth about us
All the way down I'm driving the dead end lane
'Cause everything I once had has been taken away
So I drive all night and all the way

Now all of my desires are satisfied
Now all my of my tears
My lies swept aside and left behind
Far behind
I go deeper in the night
The other side where I can fly
Reach the new hights I'm alright
Alright, tonight

The thrill the chill the suspense
The thrill the suspense the desire
A sensation most intense, so intense
With my endless supplies

All the way down I'm driving the dead end lane
Away from the life that was never the truth about us
All the way down I'm driving the dead end lane
'Cause everything I once had has been taken away
So I drive with my best friend Charlie

With my endless supplies
I'm falling, falling through the night
With my endless supplies
Endless supplies
I'm falling, falling through the night

Further out of reach

06. We Must Start Again

The more we build the less it lasts
We must start again
The more we build

The calming surface is still rippling
The last reminder of the storm
Now blowing inside another soul
A blinding force

I close my eyes and dream I see I'm drowning
Slowly floating in the stream
All my lonely nights waiting to come out

We hear the locust arrive

Your fingertips are cold and tickling
Your kisses on my neck like little fish
The blackbirds sing of loss and teardrops
The greatest of joys
(We hear the locust arrive)

Your fingertips are cold and tickling
Your kisses on my neck like little fish
The blackbirds sing of loss and teardrops
The greatest of joys
The forces unknown

We hear the locust arrive

The last reminder of the storm
Now blowing inside another soul
We must start again
We must start again
To let it out
Let it out

07. Nautifungus

[Instrumental]

08. Higher State Of Truth

The world is full of beauty
But I've got only one thing on my mind
The world is full of beauty

I have a problem, it's burning a hole in my pocket
Lose, lose everything no matter how much I've got
One little kiss never hurt nobody
One little sip to wake up the hunger
And now I starve. And now I starve

Devotion is an open wound
Revenge a higher state of truth
Devotion is an open wound
Revenge a higher state of truth

Oh, what a problem
Gasping for my breath yet I
Can't think of a single reason to stop stop stop
One stab but straight to the heart
One little sting tore me apart
And now I starve. And now I starve

And now I starve

Devotion is an open wound
Revenge a higher state of truth
Devotion is an open wound
Revenge a higher state of truth

Devotion is an open wound
Revenge a higher state of truth

09. Hadal

You're invited to a feast of you life
There's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow

Keep the wine flowing, keep the dice rolling
Don't think about your fate
Don't think about your fate

How can anyone be ready
When that moment is on hand?
Cold and dark is the night
When I stare into the unknown

On the day we fall
No remorse
As we sink into depravity

Tears, sweat and blood
These dreams were built to last
Once a proud sight
Now they die before our eyes

How can anyone be ready
When that moment is on hand?
Cold and dark is the night
When I stare into the unknown

On the day we fall
No remorse
As we sink into depravity

You and me
Dust and leaves
In the breeze
That keeps on blowing enddlessly
Always

You and me
Dust and leaves
In the breeze
That keeps on blowing enddlessly
Always

10. Quick And Dirty

The Devil made me do it

We were sitting around in a ghost town
Watching the paint dry
We were sitting around in a ghost town
Watching the paint dry

I said, I wanna play with the big boys
I said, I wanna play with big toys

You've got the cash
Well I've got a plan
You've got the right friends
And I've got a killer plan

Devil makes work for the idle dumbs
(I've got a plan)
Devil makes work for the idle dumbs

Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!

Let's blow the place up!
Blow the place up!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!

Never too rich
Never too thin
Never too young
And never ever perfect

I said, I wanna play with the big boys
I said, I wanna play with big toys

Devil makes work for the idle dumbs
(I've got a plan)
Devil makes work for the idle dumbs

Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!

Let's blow the place up!
Blow the place up!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!

Devil makes work for the idle dumbs
Should have done it yourself
'Cause you only made things worse

Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!

Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!

Quick and dirty
