resuscitate
in my sleep
awake to see
you're never here
and the losing yields
another year
of facing hopes and fears
and I wish
I could believe there was more
hopes suffocating
you've kissed my life
the trains and planes
are to blame
for tempting us
to refrain
to cut the chord
and dis every word
all the truth's absurd
and I wish
I could believe there was more
hopes suffocating
you've kissed my life
conforming on a monday
too often and too cold
but you aren't even listening
because you are just
too old to feel an earthquake
or too cool to even care
but you aren't even listening
so why should I?
you are
a natural disaster
and I've wanted you too much
and now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
and now I've gotta choose
you're the cause of all this
and I'm sick of trying to please you
and you're gonna feel my emotions coming
because you're the world
like a broken damn you're empty
and all that's left are the sticks and stones
that were built by other people
and it really shows
but you aren't even listening
because you are just
too old to feel an earthquake
or too cool to even care
but you aren't even listening
so why should I?
you are
a natural disaster
and I've wanted you too much
and now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
and now I've gotta choose
you're the cause of all this
and I'm sick of trying to please you
and you're gonna feel my emotions coming
because you're the world
who's ever known
how much to moan and groan
and quiver inside
with needs to give you
everything you need
is it enough
you're running out of time
as it grows in your eye
feel broken inside you feel
sigh, static moans
a storm growing strong
and it's coming my way
still she gives you
everything you need
is it enough
you're running out of time
as it grows in your eye
you'll feel broken inside
you'll feel
and I'll feel broken inside you
feel..
broken inside you..
feel...
note: Spiral
Static was originally only available on the Japanese release of Showbiz. it
wasn't recorded before, as matthew had difficulties with singing it, but he
reckons the album is definately more complete with it. the song can now also be
found as a b-side to Plug In Baby.
I'm sick of feeling my soul
to people who'll never know
ust how purposeless and empty they'll grow
because their language confuses
like computers refuse to understand
how I'm feeling today
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I saw a liquid control
that gives life us all
I hit my head on it and woke up to know
that I was all alone
wearing just socks and a phone
someone's screaming like their world might explode
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
Freezing and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
cast your eye tears on to me
and I'll show you what you really need
give too much attention
I'll reflect your imperfections
can't you see it's over
because you're the god of a shrinking universe
purposeless survival
now there's nothing left to die for
so don't struggle to recognize
now the cruelly heart-felt suicide
can't you see it's over
because you're the god of a shrinking universe
force me in
into greed
push me in
into greed
your golden lies feed my role
in this forgotten space race under my control
who's returned from the dead?
who remains?
you wanted more than I was worth
you think I was scared
and you needed proof
who really cares anymore?
who restrains?
I don't love you and I never did
I don't love you and I never will
note: this b-side is in
fact a slower, acoustic version of Hyper Music,
which can be found on the Origin Of Symmetry album.
ignorance pulls
apostasy and apathy still rules
yeah you know it's cool
just suck and see
a future turns us into silent gods
and I won't miss you at all
grounded, boxed in
like the evil in your veins
grounded, boxed in
I am stuck with you
fate can't decide
alignment of the plan is in your hands
come on crush our plans
just suck and see
a future that won't let you disagree
and I won't miss you at all
grounded, boxed in
like the evil in your veins
grounded, boxed in
I am stuck with you
note: this song was
originally only available on the Japanese version of the Origin Of Symmetry
album, but was later used as b-side to the Dead Star / In Your World single.
who cares for the life we earned
someone sold all the truth you heard
remember when you used to shine
and had no fear or sense of time
(and it creeps up on you)
you can't cry now there's nothing to feel
no one's noticed our loneliness
remember when you should have teased
and made us scream eternal time (eternal joy)
I believed that you'd always be here
and once you promised a life with no fear
please don't break my ideals
and say what's fake was always real
hope was the one
now I'm gone
take me back again
note: Shine can be found as b-side to Feeling Good / Hyper Music. Shine Acoustic can be found on CD1 of the Hullabaloo Soundtrack. The lyrics to these two versions of Shine are slightly different, which is why parts of the lyrics are between brackets.

good times for a change
see, the luck I've had
can make a good man turn bad
so please please please
let me, let me, let me
let me get what I want this time
haven't had a dream in a long time
see, the life I've had
can make a good man bad
so for once in my life let me get what I want
lord knows, it would be the first time
lord knows, it would be the first time
can't take my eyes off of you

you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
you feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
at long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
pardon the way that I stare
there's nothing else to compare
the sight of you makes me weak
there are no words left to speak
so if you feel like I feel
please let me know that it's real
you’re just to good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
let me love you baby, let me love you
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
you feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
at long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
let me love you baby, let me love you
note: this song was originally performed by Andy Williams.
there is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
and God I know I'm one
oh mother, tell your children
not to do what I have done
spend your lives in sin and misery
in the house of the Rising Sun
well there is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
and God I know I'm one
