They say that time can heal, but my sleep's been rough for weeks I've got too many hours to steal, I've got too many promises to keep And everything I thought I knew turned out to have a cost that cuts too deep They say we're only going forward, we'll step into a brand new day But the purpose of this path is the obstacles along the way So if you can only see the past, you must be facing the wrong way CHORUS (I don't know / where to go / please help me / to find my feet) I'll set my compass to 'bear', I don't need your guidance anymore I've got new directions, declaring my intentions With every step I take I get further from your shadow No need to look so surprised when I say I'll see you on the other side I think I've been awake for days, walking down streets that never end Have I thrown my chance away? Well I guess that just depends They still say that time can heal, try telling that to all my friends CHORUS (I don't know / where to go / please help me / to find my feet) CHORUS I'll see you on the other side We'll see you on the other side

Another colour scheme, a brand new coat of paint Applied to crumbling walls, we've papered over cracks This flavour of the month has soured on my tongue But we've got years to go, it's only just begun An unfamiliar face, an unfamiliar name This cycle's on repeat and starting up again It always comes and goes, one big revolving door We may seem cynical: we've heard it all before And we get told that this time it'll make a difference I can't help thinking, I can't help thinking We get told it's because of our indifference I can't help thinking, I can't help thinking We all go round and round (we're going the same way) And no-one's getting out (the doors are shut: can you see what's wrong with this?) But we keep trying to reinvent the wheel On this tragic roundabout Another action plan, a brand new policy Is nothing more or less than populist deceit Intentions might be good but it's always the same We can't make progress when your ego's in the way The issues that we face, the problems that we see Are superseded by your personality You need to understand, when it goes wrong again This time we're not going to take the blame And we get told that this time it'll make a difference I can't help thinking, I can't help thinking We get told it's because of our indifference I can't help thinking, I can't help thinking We all go round and round (we're going the same way) And no-one's getting out (the doors are shut: can you see what's wrong with this?) But we keep trying to reinvent the wheel On this tragic roundabout So paint your face in primary colours Let the world see what you stand for And we'll tear down all these primary colours 'Cos this is nothing that we can stand for We all go round and round (we're going the same way) And no-one's getting out (the doors are shut: can you see what's wrong with this?) But we keep trying to reinvent the wheel On this tragic roundabout

Your siren song never meant that much to me But now I'm straying far from home Nothing could ever damage my serenity But now I'm tired and alone I'm falling down from where I've been Now I can't crawl back up again Well the world keeps turning, full speed ahead I've got a fire in my belly and a tempest in my head Everything I thought I knew has been assassinated I escaped my comfort zone before it got annihilated Well the world keeps turning, nowhere to hide You can try to see the truth or you can swallow up the lies You can perish asking questions or just hide behind the symbol You can try to block it out but you can't stop the signal The world looks strange with these blinkers off my eyes I see it in a whole new way The sky is tall and the horizon's wide But I don't feel so threatened here today, no not today I'm falling down from where I've been But should I crawl back up again? Well the world keeps turning, full speed ahead I've got a fire in my belly and a tempest in my head Everything I thought I knew has been assassinated I escaped my comfort zone before it got annihilated Well the world keeps turning, nowhere to hide You can try to see the truth or you can swallow up the lies You can perish asking questions or just hide behind the symbol You can try to block it out but you can't stop the signal Too hard, too fast, I'm burning out (can't stop, can't stop this) Too many things for me to doubt (can't stop, can't stop this) Too hard, too fast, I'm burning out (can't stop, can't stop this) But I still fill my lungs and shout (can't stop...) Well the world keeps turning, full speed ahead I've got a fire in my belly and a tempest in my head Everything I thought I knew has been assassinated I escaped my comfort zone before it got annihilated Well the world keeps turning, nowhere to hide You can try to see the truth or you can swallow up the lies You can perish asking questions or just hide behind the symbol You can try to block it out but you can't stop the signal World keeps turning World keeps turning World keeps turning World keeps turning World keeps turning (can't stop the signal) World keeps turning (can't stop the signal) World keeps turning (can't stop the signal) You can try to block it out, but you can't stop the signal

A monolith is fractured, its message refracted Distorted when peace and love gives way to torture And half the things for which you stood tall Have now crumbled and tumbled down like the Jericho walls Omnipotence does not give licence for decadence With loaves and fishes piled high on silver dishes They made profits from prophets and sold the words that they said Now the lamb's become a hydra and they've lost control of where it's headed It's like thunder from a clear sky, it's the darkness falling from the sun If God is love then God must be blind, and cannot see anyone The heads are castrated and growing agitated Control is slipping from old fingers that are tired of gripping The choirs are out in force denying evidence that would Show their immaculate concept is growing tired and tattered This institution's causing global pollution A thought disease intent on bringing us to our knees Now the tides of time are going to wash it away Cos a thousand different voices leave you crippled today It's like thunder from a clear sky, it's the darkness falling from the sun If God is love then God must be blind, and cannot see anyone It's like thunder from a clear sky, it's the lies they tell when they say His will is done They love their faith but their faith is blind, and never loves anyone So please accept my apologies But I reject a divinity That claims to protect but ultimately Comes to nothing if you don't concede authority So please accept my condolences Cos your faith is ruled by appearances And the word of God has come to mean much less Than keeping power with the pontiffs in their palaces It's like thunder from a clear sky, it's the darkness falling from the sun If God is love then God must be blind, and cannot see anyone It's like thunder from a clear sky, it's the lies they tell when they say His will is done They love their faith but their faith is blind, and never loves anyone

Slow Gravity 02:41
This 9-to-5 existence slowly helps you stay alive But I can see that buried deep beneath are words laid down by a Survival instinct too abstract to ever scratch the surface Or make you act in contradiction, but I still feel a connection And I know There's no easy way out We're going to stumble and fall Through panes of glass laid in these walls Away behind these barriers built up by modern living I can see through smoke and music to the heart of your existence Every call is blocked for fear of consequences too severe to take If I could firewall you out I would, but you're not gonna go away There's no easy way out We're going to stumble and fall Through panes of glass laid in these walls I'm not going anywhere so please don't make this any harder Than it has to be for you and me Every draining second gains a burden of irrelevance A futile perseverance Our excuses have stopped making sense There's no easy way out There's no easy way out There's no easy way out We're going to stumble and fall Through panes of glass laid in these walls There's no easy way out We're going to stumble and fall And this slow gravity will take its toll There's no easy way out There's no easy way out

Well I know just what's going on here This uncharitable impulse should be buried in the ground But you deserve just what's coming to you And I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to stick around Cos you've burned through all our patience like Australian forest fires CHORUS The circus is in town again Roll up, roll up to see the sights, the spectacles and flashing lights The circus has come around again Roll up, roll up to see the sights, the shouts the tears and the fights This carnival is never getting old Well I know that I'm far from perfect And sometimes when I look back I wonder how I've made it through But it seems the time has come to collect On the interest you've built up from all those years of being you Cos you've burned through second chances like a giant funeral pyre CHORUS Do you understand why we think you're such a bore? I hope you understand why we're not interested any more Cos you've burned your reputation, leaving only ash behind... CHORUS The circus is in town again Roll up, roll up, roll up The circus has come around again The shouts the tears and the fights This carnival is never getting old

Something's wrong out on the streets, the strong are preying on the weak You can feel the heartbeat slowly failing, feel the heartbeat slowly failing The lights go out across the city, we are listening to the dying gasp of our society You can feel the heartbeat slowly failing, slowly failing Something's wrong There's something wrong There's something wrong There's something wrong Trust once broken never heals, and this was not part of the deal You can see the daylight slowly fading, see the daylight slowly fading The truth's becoming plain to see, this is just a cheap imitation of reality You can see the daylight slowly fading, slowly fading Dead eyes and vacant grins, a self-inflicted blindness to the mess we're in It's becoming clear to me that you don't care that I'm struggling to breathe Dead eyes and vacant grins, a self-inflicted blindness to the mess we're in It's becoming clear to me that you don't care that I can't breathe Comment's free, so tell me what went wrong with me I'm choking on the ashes of our cremated society So read it the last rites, cos this is serious So tell me what went wrong with us We're on the streets in millions, but our voices still aren't loud enough We've stood aside for far too long, can somebody please tell me what went wrong? Our decisions are to blame, we're all caught up in this deadly game You can feel sincerity slowly dying, feel sincerity slowly dying A thousand daggers through the heart, a mortal wound to tear this rotting state apart You can feel sincerity slowly dying, slowly dying Dead eyes and vacant grins, a self-inflicted blindness to the mess we're in It's becoming clear to me that you don't care that I'm struggling to breathe Dead eyes and vacant grins, a self-inflicted blindness to the mess we're in It's becoming clear to me that you don't care that I can't breathe Comment's free, so tell me what went wrong with me I'm choking on the ashes of our cremated society So read it the last rites, cos this is serious So tell me what went wrong with us We're on the streets in millions, but our voices still aren't loud enough We've stood aside for far too long, can somebody please tell me what went wrong?

Stitches 04:00
Tonight I'm only half-awake, I'm falling over upright And my mouth is burned and blistered with the taste of cyanide My head is spinning sideways and I feel like I'm drowning In a sea of vacant glances and burned-out neon signs Sometimes it's more than I can take to keep up this facade of being clever When I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain You can't see the stiches in my brain, they're all that hold my world together You just rip them out and open up the wounds again Tonight I'm only half-alive, don't touch me cos I'll fall apart I'm doing all I can to keep a grip on all my bile and spite In just a few more hours I'll be right back where I belong If I wake up tomorrow, maybe everything will be alright Sometimes it's more than I can take to keep up this facade of being clever When I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain You can't see the stiches in my brain, they're all that hold my world together You just rip them out and open up the wounds again Sometimes it's more than I can take to keep up this facade of being clever When I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain You can't see the stiches in my brain, they're all that hold my world together You just rip them out and open up the wounds again Stitches Stitches Stitches Stitches

I'm trying hard to understand how this keeps getting out of hand It's difficult for you to say (with all these nights in overload) How tough it's been for you, but I'll be there to pick up up today CHORUS If this city gets too much for you We can leave it all behind and put it in the rear view We're not gonna stop, we're not slowing down So shut your eyes and we'll leave them standing now I've seen so many failed lives weighed down by promises and lies It's getting hard for you to see (ways out of these enclosing streets) I'm losing count of chances missed, but you can always count on me CHORUS Every second every minute every hour something changes Every second every minute every hour I'm not changing Every second every minute every hour something changes Every second every minute every hour we're not changing CHORUS And if this city gets too much for you We can leave it all behind and put it in the rear view We're not gonna stop, we're not slowing down So shut your eyes, because we're not changing now
