Dead rockstars are coming down to earth Dead rockstars are giving all they're worth Dead rockstars are going to prevail Dead rockstars the mission cannot fail And it's ground control to the rocketman Mercury to Mars don't you understand Put the money in my hand oh yeah! Dead rockstars dead rockstars dead rockstars Are falling down to earth Dead rockstars dead rockstars dead rockstars Are falling down to earth At night time they're beaming out a light In daytime they're hiding from the fright In real time the small talk is a mess Cross that line I would have to guess And it's ground control to the rocketman Mercury to Mars don't you understand Put the money in my hand oh yeah! Dead rockstars dead rockstars dead rockstars Are falling down to earth Dead rockstars dead rockstars dead rockstars Are falling down to earth And they're dead and they're... Dead rockstars dead rockstars dead rockstars Are falling down to earth Dead rockstars dead rockstars dead rockstars Are falling down to earth Are falling down to earth Are falling down to earth Are falling down to earth

You are sitting only Lonely as can be I am sitting also bereft Looking in the mirror Wondering what you see I am far away now from me Don't you need me Sighs and worry I am just the same but i'm not the same Do you understand? Life is throwing curveballs Crushing all my bones I am standing up now again Rushing to my peace now Juxtaposition In a torrid silence again Don't you need me Sighs and worry I am just the same but i'm not the same Do you understand? I am now as one but i'm not as one Do you comprehend? Hold on now as one hold on now as one If you think you can Hold on now as one hold on now as one Don't hide in the sand

Loaded gun 03:25
I need a break now from myself I need freedom from this hell I know there is no cure for it I need to find a shoe that fits I wanna be your everything I wanna find your song to sing I wanna understand your world I just feel alone The world is unknown I just feel alone I wanna be your loaded gun I'm tired of every chance begun I wanna get fired to the sun I want my day not to be done I wanna be your loaded gun I know that i'm not anyone I wanna be with everyone I wanna be your loaded gun I see the future dressed in black And then I try to bring it back I know there is no chance in hell Memories like oceans swell I wanna understand the world I just feel alone The world is unknown I just feel alone I wanna be your loaded gun I'm tired of every chance begun I wanna get fired to the sun I want my day not to be done I wanna be your loaded gun I know that i'm not anyone I wanna be with everyone I wanna be your loaded gun I wanna be your loaded gun I'm tired of every chance begun I wanna get fired to the sun I want my day not to be done I wanna be your loaded gun I know that i'm not anyone I wanna be with everyone I wanna be your loaded gun

Sleepy head 02:21
How to breathe in? How to breathe in, out? I can't live with You can't live without I can't rest now I can't rest at all I'm so sleepy but i can't drift away And this world is and this world is cruel What you say won't pull you away I'm too sleepy i'm too sleepy But I can't sleep now And i'm shaking there's no braking There's no silence now

Smile 02:22
Why don't you ever smile? Why don't you ever smile? Now Said it's gonna be a while Said it's gonna be a while Now I'm getting lost inside my head The more I bleed the less I get I'm getting more than I deserve I'm getting more than I am worth Why don't you ever smile? Why don't you ever smile? Now Said it's gonna be a while Said it's gonna be a while Now I'm getting lost inside my head The more I bleed the less I get I'm getting more than I deserve I'm getting more than I am worth I'm getting lost inside my head The more I bleed the less I get I'm getting more than I deserve I'm getting more than I am worth I'm getting lost inside my head The more I bleed the less I get I'm getting more than I deserve I'm getting more than I am worth

Sick of it 03:02
And I don't know what I'd do In a world without you Maybe have some peace of mind And I can't see a future Without your corruption But we just except this fate And it don't matter anyway My voice just fades away And in an Ivory tower The broken wings of power But we settle for this hate As they look upon us With disdain for our lives Try to put us in our place And it don't matter anyway My voice just fades away Sick of all of it Yes we're sick of all your shit All the lies you're shovellin' And we hate you with a passion Sick of all of this and we're sick of all of that And there aint no turnin' back From the bullshit that you feed us Ah Ah Sick of all of it Yes we're sick of all your shit All the lies you're shovellin' And we hate you with a passion Sick of all of this and we're sick of all of that And there aint no turnin' back From the bullshit that you feed us And we all know that you don't care That you don't care at all Sick of all of it Yes we're sick of all your shit All the lies you're shovellin' And we hate you with a passion Sick of all of this and we're sick of all of that And there aint no turnin' back From the bullshit that you feed us Sick of all of it Yes we're sick of all your shit All the lies you're shovellin' And we hate you with a passion Sick of all of this and we're sick of all of that And there aint no turnin' back From the bullshit that you feed us

In the mire 02:41
Stuck now in a rut Time is stationary All that i forget Is haunting me Every day's the same A collage styled in grey Give me all you've got So I can pull away I know Brightness fades What remains Is the love in us The land that time forgot I am wandering through In my little plot What is there to do? Everyday is new A hope so deafening Wishing that I can Drink now from the spring I know Brightness fades What remains Is the love in us

It's all you have to do When you drift away Babylon is calling But you cannot stay Dreams will fade Sumerians are wondering What it all meant Shadowed by the thunder The wasted time you spent Dreams can stay The rain crashes on the window The moon is in denial And I'm awake It's all you have to do Is keep yourself warm Babylon is calling But you've heard it all before Dreams will fade The rain crashes on the window The moon is in denial And I'm awake What do you do? When it comes for you Dreams escape from you A bird that never flew It's all you have to do Dreams will fade

See the news You got no blues You only care about yourself Pass on through the many not the few And you won't ever change I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little fool I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little Woah oh oh oh oh... I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little fool I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little fool I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little fool I'm alright now I'm alright now Nothing matters oh you vicious little

She was a girl as white as the world As dark as the sun falling down She did a turn as wild as the world A moment in time upside down I was a boy a silly old boy As lost as the Sun in the clouds She did a turn as wild as the world A moment in time flipped around And I know i shouldn't be here And I know that it's wrong And now as I'm leavin' Her world will just carry on This was a tale of lust setting sail Through the choppy seas of my mind Sin will prevail and if all else fails A moment in time upside down And I know i shouldn't be here And I know that it's wrong And now as I'm leavin' Her world will just carry on And I know i shouldn't be here And I know that it's wrong And now as I'm leavin' Her world will just carry on And I know i shouldn't be here And I know that it's wrong And now as I'm leavin' Her world will just carry on Her world will just carry on Her world will just carry on

Blister 03:07
I can feel it You can't see it When it comes on i am feart I just want to be on my own I can't help it Now I'm wincing If you felt it You'd understand I just wanna be on my own Through the daze Drift away In tough times Let me stay I can't go it alone I need someone I can't do it myself There's a danger And a worry Save for later Bottled right up I don't want to be on my own Through the daze Drift away In tough times Let me stay I can't go it alone I need someone I can't do it myself

Let me be 03:14
You are sitting there all full of rage Just like a racist on a facebook page Please will you give me some space on my own I am not familiar with your pain What it is that drives you so insane Can't you get a light in now ah ah ah Won't you stop your bawlin' My mind is crawlin' please I can feel the world that's crushing me Let me be alone in harmony I just wanna find my quiet place ah ah ah You can't understand my soul And now I'm buried in this hole Why won't you let me be I can't sympathise with you When you're breaking me in two And I just want to have peace Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah You can't understand my soul And now I'm buried in this hole Why won't you let me be I can't sympathise with you When you're breaking me in two And I just want to have peace

I can't be the only one who's giving up today I can't be the broken one I'm sick of bein' this way I don't know what I can do at all There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to say I can't find a way Oh no! I will fall on my own sword Got what I deserve Broken glass it breaks my fall Kick me to the kerb I don't know what I can do at all There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to say I can't find a way Oh no! There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to say I can't find a way Oh no! At all At all

You 03:09
I want to be with you I know it It's hard to see when I don't show it I just believe in truth I need the sea to part away now I need to be myself now somehow I must believe it's true When I'm coming home And I must atone For all the mistakes I've made Sittin' on that throne That I've put you on You are everything to me The world is lost sometimes I feel Cold from the frost A rough deal I need to soldier on When I'm coming home And I must atone For all the mistakes I've made Sittin' on that throne That I've put you on You are everything to me When I'm coming home And I must atone For all the mistakes I've made Sittin' on that throne That I've put you on You are everything to me

Eyes 03:35
Getting my eyes tested How could I see it all so wrong My narrow mind rested Bad things happen to good people Then you came along Singin' a song in the same key I look at your eyes Love realised Making the sky brighter As I wallow in the dark The weight of the world lighter Listening for your beating heart Then you came along Singin' a song in the same key I look at your eyes Love realised You make me smile You make me smile It's all worthwhile And I just want to be him And I just want to be him with you And I just want to be him And I just want to be him with you And I just want to be him And I just want to be him And I just want to be him with you And I just want to be him And I just want to be him And I just want to be him with you And I just want to be him And I just want to be him And I just want to be him with you And I just want to be him And I just want to be him And I just want to be him with you Getting my eyes tested How could I see it all so wrong
