1. Hallucinations
   breathe hallucinations start to fade
   all the colours slip back to grey
   i never understood these things ive hated
   but now as we all disappear
   the world becomes quite clearly something i cant live in
   if i could just get through

   tonight the poisons in my head
   and i cant feel my legs
   im not feeling anything

   im standing at the top looking down
   thought itd be so free
   floating out in space take a breath
   dont you breathe too deep
   standing at the top looking down
   thought itd be so damn easy
   i thought it would be easier

   wait hallucinations back in place
   i said id call if i cant face another day of normal
   its what they gave me
   but now the telephones on fire
   and i cant seem to dial even though i know youre there
   to save my soul

   tonight the poisons in my head
   and i cant feel my legs
   im not feeling anything

   im standing at the top looking down
   thought itd be so free
   floating out in space take a breath
   dont you breathe too deep
   stepping off the top
   feel the wind underneath my feet

   im standing at the top looking down
   floating out in space theres no sound
   i feel alive

2. I’m Coming Down
   turn the lights out
   the party is over the wines all gone
   your good friends are headed home
   wish i could be there
   im floating
   was happy to hear you turned thirty-three
   you look good youre so carefree
   wish i could be there

   but i thought you should know
   that inside ive grown cold
   and i fight every day to lose control
   its a saturday
   im coming down

   frustrated
   got caught in the rain going to work today
   soaked through for the job i hate
   i wish you could be here
   im choking
   swallowed too much of my pride today
   the words that i just wont say
   i wish you could be here

   but i thought you should know
   that inside ive grown cold
   and i fight every day to lose control
   its a saturday
   im coming down

   for the first time ive seen stars at night
   for the first time im on fire

   but i thought you should know
   that inside ive grown cold
   and i fight every day to lose control
   its a saturday
   im coming down

3. Numb
   hey have you fallen off the shelf
   can i help you get yourself back together
   im so tired can i help you save yourself

   have your friends all changed
   all the people that you thought would be around
   as your light goes grey
   are you losing all the hope you thought youd found
   i think were numb

   hey have you found somebody new
   have you found yourself unglued for the first time in your life
   can i help you save yourself

   have your friends all changed
   all the people that you thought would be around
   as your life goes grey
   are you losing all the hope you thought wed found
   i think were numb

   and tell me do you feel like dying
   tell me does it hurt just waking up
   tell me have you lost the reasons you ever wanted to fight
   has it left you lonely
   tell me do you pray for morning
   tell me does it hurt just waking up
   tell me have you lost the reasons you ever wanted to fight
   and you know its all impossible

4. Time Of Our Lives
   i once saw a man on fire
   just staring out his window
   watching as the flames grew higher and higher
   i thought that i saw him cry
   or was he only laughing
   as his life went rushing on
   and maybe were just like him
   maybe were all waiting
   for our moment to begin

   who of us are open
   who of us have freedom really
   who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
   all of us are hurting
   all of us are crazy now
   all of us are watching the world as it spins

   i once had a bird like you
   a bird of prey
   still youre tearing at my insides
   and yesterday when you flew so far away
   if you find the morning save a piece for me

   who of us are open
   who of us have freedom really
   who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
   all of us are hurting
   all of us are crazy now
   were crazy now

   ill smoke the cigarette
   ill eat the flesh instead
   another whisky more or less or more or less
   i like the drugs that sail
   i love you when we fail
   when we fail

   all of us are hating
   all of us are dreaming
   all of us are watching these times of our lives
   we want it all
   we want for nothing
   for nothing now

5. Devil By My Side
   believe in hope believe in faith believe in things i cant fight
   believe in truth believe in slavery but its only the television kind
   believe that light will find a way
   believe in jets as they blow into the sky
   believe in you believe in me
   and all of these things

   devils by my side
   and the freaks are out were in force tonight
   and you opened me wide
   cause its cold in there and its warm outside

   believe that hate will never die
   believe in sex and love in a dangerous time
   believe in grace and your intelligence
   believe in exploring the corners of the mind
   believe your truth is not my truth
   that god can exist with many faces at one time
   believe that we will find a way through all of these things

   devils by my side
   and the freaks are out were in force tonight
   and you opened me wide
   cause its cold in there and its warm outside
   hard when you realize that youll never have what youre trying to find

   believe in hope believe in faith believe in things i cant fight
   believe that somewhere ive seen war but its only the television kind

7. In This Light
   are you asleep now
   i thought i heard you talking
   cause theyre draining out my heart and i think i know whats coming
   they cant leave this alone
   my oceans are expanding
   and all us fish are drowning inside
   theres pollution on the tide and this ship of fools im rolling with
   cant keep me alive

   but in this light
   i can see the angels burning from the inside out
   they spread their wings to die
   in this light
   i can see the people the damaged goods they take this life
   its passing by

   you know that were sinking
   all your jewels are dragging us down
   but im running out of blood taking money over love
   we cant hope to survive
   so ask me if im hungry
   while everybodys starving inside
   but the doctors never there and this medication
   doesnt really keep me controlled

   but in this light
   i can see the angels burning from the inside out
   they spread their wings to die
   in this light
   i can see the people the damaged goods they take this life
   its passing by

   you you know that im not that strong
   you know i cant get out
   im not able now
   you i know you have to change
   we all stay the same
   im not able now

8. My Way Out
   standing at the edge
   the edge of it all
   spitting off the top
   watch the day unfurl
   cannot see the view from this place
   clouds are on the rise world is out of faith
   took another pill to find my way
   hope that youll be there

   cause this is my way out of it tonight
   and this is my last chance to ease the fire
   and this is my way out of it tonight
   how about you

   borrowed from a dream
   that i used to know
   all my friends were there
   we watched the world explode
   took another drink to find my way
   just hope that youll be there

   cause this is my way out of it tonight
   and this is my last chance to ease the fire
   this is my way out of it tonight
   i might find one way to get through
   how about you

   and if i could remember
   if i could find a place a time the space to see another way home
   and if i could forget you
   maybe there’s no other way out
   no other way out

9. Surfacing
   car crash east side of town
   the waters deep here you can feel your own strength fading
   youre beginning to let go
   the bubbles rise as we go down
   underwater overwhelmed
   cant fight the current here its starting to take hold

   but high above me i can see the surface now
   the picture perfect life is fading out of view
   and high above me i can feel the world
   but i dont need it
   i just need you

   then you grow colder like a dream
   i cant believe the practical things
   theyre always out of reach
   and i know youre not really here
   these visions fly so quickly on the edge
   theyre starting to take hold

   but high above me i can see the surface now
   the picture perfect life is fading out of view
   and high above me i can feel the world
   but i dont need it

   wont you help me with this loneliness
   cause i dont know whats wrong or right
   underneath the truth
   wont you help me with this bitterness
   cause i cant seem to walk outside

   car crash east side of town
   the waters deep here i can feel my own strength fading
   im beginning to let go
   the bubbles rise as i go down
   i hit the bottom overwhelmed
   cant fight the current here its starting to take hold

   but high above me i can see the surface now
   the picture perfect life is fading out of view
   and high above me i can feel the world
   but i dont need it
   i just need you

10. Tomorrow Comes
    i can see miles above the clouds
    and what was it like on the day you fell to earth
    knocked you out cold its just as well
    cause people are cruellest when they dont know
    hello hello
    the ships are leaving late this evening
    hello hello
    you cant deny that you dont need it now

    where will we be when tomorrow comes
    when all the stars are dying in the sky
    where will we be when tomorrow comes
    only the satellites are circling tonight

    i can see blood behind your eyes
    and what was it like on the day you knew you died
    wrapped up in things i dont know why
    cause people are cruellest in their own minds
    hello hello
    the ships are leaving late this evening
    hello hello
    you can’t pretend that you don’t need it now

    where will we be when tomorrow comes
    when all the stars are dying in the sky
    where will we be when tomorrow comes
    only the satellites are circling tonight

    what was it like just to have it all
    then it slipped right through your hands
    how did it feel at that moment
    when the earth stopped turning

11. Fearless
    we are all just aching were waiting
    for heartbreak in this world of light and darkness
    i lost it the ability to see myself more
    clearly i lost it
    the ability to see

    have you found what youve been looking for
    now youve killed all your enemies
    but you still want more
    when your hate finds the love that it cant destroy
    and when the cancers all gone
    were still growing old

    i know that youre fearless i bought it
    what brought you to your knees
    your rage is visible so nearly
    intelligence sets you free
    my mind is clearly undoing
    the ability to see

    have you found what youve been looking for
    now youve killed all your enemies
    but you still want more
    when your hate finds the love that it cant destroy
    and when the cancers all gone
    youre still growing old
