We’re gonna move on
We’re gonna move on
And you’re gonna
Get what’s yours
We’re gonna walk on
We’re gonna walk on
And you’re gonna
Get what’s yours
We’re gonna stride on
We’re gonna stride on
Because we know what we need
And we’re picking up speed
We’re gonna live on
We’re gonna live on
Because we know what we need
And we’re picking up speed
Salt to the ice
Left take the right
Salt to the ice
Left takes the right

Sudden Deafness

What are the good things in your life?
Who do you want to be?
What don’t you take for granted?
What don’t you take for granted?
What are the bad things in your life?
Who do you hate to be?
What do you take for granted?
What do you take for granted?
To see light
So simple
And I’m not afraid
What is the joy you find in life?
What do you want to see?
What is to live and let live?
What is to live and let live?
What is the judgement in your life?
What are your enemies?
What don’t you live and let live?
What don’t you live and let live?
To see light
So simple
And I’m not afraid
Face to face
With sudden deafness
Face to face
With sudden deafness
Will it come back today?
Will it come back none?
Feedback static noise and hum
Face to face
With sudden deafness
Face to face
With sudden deafness
Will it come back today?
Will it come back none?
Feedback static noise and hum
What is the faith left in your life?
What do you call relief?
What will you die believing?
What will you die believing?
To see light
So simple
And I’m not afraid

Total Chaos
04:23
|
|
||
Total chaos there’s no lines
Nowhere to keep
And everything nothing’s unique
Too attached the slowest suicide
The past moves on
And tomorrow’s overdrawn
All the judging criticize
The hypocrite
Cries alone with no remit
Time was right the action too obsessed
The moment’s gone
It didn’t come without a warning
So impatient so afraid to die
Always in debt
Always weighed down by regret
Too much haste and too unwise
Won’t see it through
Tried to care but then withdrew
Up the hill and still more steps to climb
The dream gone stray
All your life just fades away
Find your breath boy redefine
Your right from wrong
Lose your words and be the echo

Paper View

I don’t remember what I said to you
But I can buy it back on paper view
I don’t remember how to talk to you
But I can buy it back on paper view
I don’t remember how to love you
But I can buy it back on paper view
Esta é a vida
através da tela
Esta é a vida
através da tela
Esta é a vida
através da tela
Esta é a vida
através da tela
I don’t remember how to touch you
But I can buy it back on paper view
I don’t remember how to pleasure you
But I can buy it back on paper view
I don’t remember how to love you
But I can buy it back on paper view
Esta é a vida
através da tela
Esta é a vida
através da tela

Forever Numb
02:25
|
|

So be forever numb
Go on be forever numb
We’ve got no more words
To say to you tonight
We’ve got no more words
To say to you tonight
If you can’t make you happy
There’s nothing we can do
If you can make you happy
There’s nothing we can’t do
So be forever numb
Go on be forever numb
We’ve got no more words
To say to you tonight
We’ve got no more words
To say to you tonight
If you can’t make you happy
There’s nothing we can do
If you can make you happy
There’s nothing

Ethnograph (Ray CBE)
02:18
|
|
||
Out of touch ignoring world problems
Singing songs about yourself instead
Try to reach out to a bigger audience
There’s no time for the words that you said
Drums and bass and guitar
Doesn’t matter when we’re
Gunning ourselves in the streets
God I love my Beatles and punk rock
But it doesn’t seem to mean a thing
Out of touch ignoring world problems
Taking pictures of yourself instead
Try to share them with a bigger audience
There’s no likes and no comments were said
Hips and lips and a big butt doesn’t matter
When we’re bombing on kids in the East
God I love my heels and my nylons baby
But it doesn’t seem to mean a thing

Grim Reaper

Grim reaper got a hold on me
Grim reaper can’t carry me

Karaoke (ACH)
02:38
|
|

Well we’re done with work
And we’re done with school
And we’re always right
And we’re no one’s fool right now
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
We got so much time
And we’re looking for a fight
We got places to be
And new lovers every night
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Now we’re running around
With no regrets
And we hide from the past
Because we know it gets us down
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
I’m not breathing enough
But man something’s wrong
God I feel offset
Because I feel so void
Like there’s no like there’s no soul left at all
To be in need of love again
Not me, not me, I don’t believe in anything
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

Too busy living in tomorrow
Too busy living in tomorrow
Too busy living in tomorrow
Too busy living in tomorrow
Misguided by voices no longer believed
Misguided by voices no longer believed
Misguided by voices no longer believed
Misguided by voices no longer believed
Never the young man
Back then
Ah versa versa versa
Rid my wind
Never the young man
Back then
Ah versa versa versa
Rid my wind

Forget Your Name
03:45
|
|
||
Damned if you do
And damned if you don’t
Prayed all your life
Just to lose all your hope
And when you can’t heal the pain
Forget your name
Forget your name
Said that you’d do
But know that you won’t
Felt that you could
But then you let go
And when your thoughts are filled with shame
Forget your name
Forget your name
Chasing the light
But facing the dark
Longing for change
But losing the spark
When everything feels the same
Forget your name
Forget your name
This name meant everything
Its age was the best
But now a name means nothing
And age means less
Just wanted to be someone
This name meant everything
Its age was the best
But now a name means nothing
And age means less
Just wanted to be someone
