Electric Sheep

Turn on the screen, and
Say hello, there is
Nowhere we can't go
Turn off your brain, and
Plug it in, we'll
See just where you might fit in
So press agree, don't
Read the terms, they
Contain all of these big words
Depressing life
That you have made
Sitting inside cyberspace
Watching me as I count electric sheep
Watching you as you so quietly weep
The stress and loneliness gets under our skin
Don't see where the dreams end or where they begin
Turn off the screen, and
Say goodbye to the
Sacred, cherished lie
You'll hurry now before the
Fake, hollow thoughts
Fade away
Watching me as I count electric sheep
Watching you as you so quietly weep
The stress and loneliness gets under our skin
Don't see where the dreams end or where they begin
Just turn it off
So disagree, deny
The herd, but you're
Still there, trapped in big words
Depressing life
That you have made
Sitting outside the human race
Turn it off
Watching me as I count electric sheep
Watching you as you so quietly weep
The stress and loneliness gets under our skin
Don't see where the dreams end or where they begin

Reverie
03:33
|

This is a story about every
Single person I know
Who've had their tender hearts
Ripped apart and left with a hole
We try and try and yet
Goodbye's the only word we can say
A single sound comes from the ground
It's footsteps leading away
We hope against hope that the
Boat will float even as it rocks
Nothing to do except feel blue
Listening to ticking clocks
Or maybe skydive into someone's life
If we're feeling brave
Or better yet, we'll just forget how we were
Meant to behave
The only thing that saves
Me from caving in
Under these memories
Is this reverie
So, we'll live high-strung and
Will be seen for all the things that we're not
To be a walking coping mechanism
Is what we're taught
Let's trade in self-respect for money
Each and every working day
And on the weekend we'll pretend that
Everything is okay
The only thing that saves
Me from caving in
Under these memories
Is this reverie
Slipping away, just
Sliding away
Trapped in these lives we never chose
A generation that just froze
This is a story about every
Single person I know

Dust
01:17

I am sitting inside a twilight
Now I will do everything I must
All of my pain and hatred turns into
A handful of dust
You were there all along, I was
Just as right as wrong to
Blame all the misery and
Blisters on finger on you
I saw a little glow as you
Let everything go, then
You wanted everything again
I am sitting inside a twilight
Now I will do everything I must
All of my pain and hatred turns into
A handful of dust

Energy!
03:32

This energy is taking over me
Can now see something I could never see
Went through the motions far too many times
You read this energy between lines
It's filling up every corner now
I've got to share this energy somehow
There's not much more of this that I can show
I only have one word: go!
This energy is taking over me
Can now see something I could never see
Went through the motions far too many times
You read this energy between lines
Food for the soul
Caffeine for the mind
When you're in the mode
You're dancing all night
Feels like a weight's been lifted off of me
No reason to complain
'Cause I have energy
This energy is taking over me
Can now see something I could never see
Went through the motions far too many times
You read this energy between lines

Run
06:09

|
A dream made so disjointed
And painful to behold
Such empty headed anger
You seem oh so cold, so cold
Then it turned into a nightmare
And for what it's worth
You truly did hang in there
But the feeling won't return
When you've been burned
Looking on the bright side
We're still alive, we're still alive
Don't say that you didn't try
'Cause that's a lie, that's a lie
This Jekyll and Hyde behaviour
Only compounds all your woes
Now you're total strangers
Strangers that you know
You play the game of blaming
Because you can't let go
You've never been too good with failure
And now you've lost control, but
Looking on the bright side
We're still alive, we're still alive
Don't say that you didn't try
'Cause that's a lie, that's a lie
So run in your own direction
If it's meant to be then we will see
Each other again
Looking on the bright side
We're still alive, we're still alive
Don't say that you didn't try
'Cause that's a lie, that's a lie

Wind-up Angels
02:14

You can do
Anything that you want
Do you want to be loved
Or just be known?
Well, who can say
What is right, what is wrong?
This is something you
Decide for yourself
Hey, when there's a price on
Everything, nothing is true
And you'll get just what
You paid for
Wind you up and watch you go
Circling me fast and slow
You don't know and I don't know, so
Wind me up and watch me go
I can do
Anything that I want
Well and good if it should
Be pleasing you, but
It's not opinion that
I'm searching for
I look for happiness and
Higher truth
What the hell is
Your damn problem now?
Touchiness isn't
Really my thing, so
You can either help
Me understand, or just
Leave me out of these
Battles with yourself
Wind you up and watch you go
Circling me fast and slow
You don't know and I don't know, so
Wind me up and watch me go
Watch me go
Watch me
Wind you up and watch you go
Circling me fast and slow
You don't know and I don't know, so
Wind me up and watch me go

Sore Eyes
03:52
|

There's something alive in here with me
Doesn't know what it wants to be
Sometimes I can feel it grow
But there's one thing that I know, that:
I love you baby
Want you to take me
Won't you come and
Hold me through the night, alright?
I need you darlin'
Howling at the moon and stars, and
Without you, I'm a
Lonely lonely sight (for sore eyes)
I'm swimmin' around inside my head
Trying to catch my thoughts again
I find it hard to let things slide
Every once in a while
But you know that:
I love you baby
Want you to take me
Won't you come and
Hold me through the night, alright?
I need you darlin'
Howling at the moon and stars, and
Without you, I'm a
Lonely lonely sight (for sore eyes)
Eyes
Can't
Close
Not tonight
I
Can't sleep
At all
I
Would do
It all again
Just
For you
I love you baby
Want you to take me
Won't you come and
Hold me through the night, alright?
I need you darlin'
Howling at the moon and stars, and
Without you, I'm a
Lonely lonely sight (for sore eyes)

If You Say So
04:00

I fell and stumbled on air
You picked me up with mere words
I fall and stumble again
You kiss me where it hurts, and sing:
Close your eyes, young soul
You need time to grow
Walk on through the cold
With your own blindfold
I hear a mighty roar
Filling up all I know
So say that you want more
Well, if you say so...
Close your eyes, young soul
You need time to grow
Walk on through the cold
With your own blindfold
