Lies lies lies and more lies Their lies are everywhere TV and newspapers it's more than I can bear The truth is out there but is anyone aware? The promises that you break Causes my heart to ache You were a big mistake Not like my chocolate cake I'm not full but don't feel like eating Think of the evil in a Bilderberg meeting All day I dream of a world full of freedom The promises that you break Causes my heart to ache You were a big mistake Bring me my chocolate cake Imagine the future where we all just might be free Taking from the Earth only what we need Governments and banks consigned to history The promises that you break Causes my heart to ache You were a big mistake Not like my chocolate cake

I went outside I nearly died I felt freeze-dried Like a lemon rind Oh my god I feel so cold Oh my god I feel so cold I'm not even all that old Oh my god I feel so cold Bank bailout lies Are televised They ruin lives All seeing eye Oh my god I feel so cold Oh my god I feel so cold I'm not even all that old Oh my god I feel so cold Oh my god I feel so cold Oh my god I feel so cold Got enough problems of my own Oh my god I feel so cold I'm freezing!

There's nothing left to do but to wait Time's hands hold a wiggling bait Same time that's landed me in this place After all, it's for the best I just want to be free, like I know I should be I just want to be free, like I know I should be Can someone tell me when it's time to play? I've done all I can to keep myself awake I am dribbling, my patience is about to break Somebody wheel me away I just want to be free, like I know I should be I just want to be free, like I know I should be I just want to be free, like I know I should be I just want to be free, like I know I should be

Give me smells that can be heard Give me sounds that can be seen Oh some days I just walk down Down some streets where I can’t be found Breathing space, still needed Aimlessly, let me walk away Social games just bring me down Let me wear the pavement down Sometimes just to walk alone Beats all therapies ever known Give me night, no fake smiles Concrete beat never lies Entity that can’t be touched Religion without a sin Oh tell me is this the price From one to oneself to suffice Human touch, still needed Endlessly, let me walk your way No reason to hit the ground Let me blend in the background Sometimes just to walk alone Best therapy I’ve ever known Give me maybe one fake smile Concrete beat never cries I could dissipate into these bricks And they don't project onto concrete Yeah yeah yeah All this time, walked alone Only thing I’ve ever known Give me light in some real smiles Concrete beat never dies Concrete beat never dies

I never noticed the scalpel That would lead to my downfall And the words that you said As I lay in your bed Everything you did to me has left a scar The only indication of what you are You must be a surgeon I bet you're the best Cos you cut my heart clean outta my chest Outta my chest Somehow I still walk around But I don't know how Coulda sworn I would die Without my organs inside Everything you did to me has left a scar The only indication of how f***ed up you are You must be a surgeon I bet you're the best Cos you cut my heart clean outta my chest Outta my chest You must be a surgeon The best of the best Cos you cut my heart clean outta my chest Outta my chest

I was overwhelmed with raw emotion I don't ever feel like I'm in control Of anything Like what I do, what I say Am I asleep? Am I awake? And can you tell me is this a dream And if it is what does it mean? Am I alive? Or have I died? Do you wonder why we ever really try When everything in life could be all over when you die? And just how much would you cry When you have to say goodbye To everyone you ever knew and everything you held onto? Am I alive? Or have I died? Don't wake me, don't wake me, don't wake me up Don't wake me, don't wake me, don't wake me Am I alive? Or have I died?

Minutes turn to hours, hours into days Most of my life has flown by in a haze Under this national sky of grey The cloud's eventually did go away After the rain came down, oh the rain came down And it went on and on 'til you came around Not many dreams in life come true But I won big when it came to you And when I first saw you, I looked into your eyes And when I first saw you, I wanted you in my life Weeks turn to years, years turn to decades since I broke out from a maximum security stockade Instead of living in the underground, it was time to get my name around But the rejection hurt, the rejection hurt And things got so bad that it flagged a red alert Pretty much when things were at their worst, a gift came down from the universe And when I first saw you, I looked into your eyes And when I first saw you, I wanted you in my life And when I first saw you, I looked into your green eyes And when I first saw you, I wanted you in my life

It started out with just one look And that was all it took And I wouldn't do you no harm I just wanna hold you in my arms You wear a heart shaped necklace Engraved I remember what it says Leaning in close enough to read It says 'imagine, dream, believe' I wouldn't do you no harm And I couldn't, cos I just wanna hold Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Plenty of days sitting in the sun Feels like a dream come true Waiting for the night to come When I can get to see you And I wouldn't do you no harm And I couldn't, cos I just wanna hold Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Those times I'll never forget With you I'll never regret I would never want to say That you can go your own way And I wouldn't do you no harm And I couldn't, cos I just wanna hold Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Hold Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms Hold you in my arms

Go pack your bags We're on an adventure Making our own pagan Rapture I'll take the maps So you can steer this vessel We're kings of our own moving castle We can head east until we meet the ocean You're my only true companion Just look ahead We're heading nowhere And I don't care Yeah yeah yeah Stretch the last miles We're already heading back Coming home on the beaten track Come tomorrow This trip will only be fragments Our minds on their leave of absence We can head east until we meet the ocean You're my only true companion Just look ahead We're heading nowhere And I don't care Yeah yeah yeah We can head east, I don't care what direction Just look ahead We're heading nowhere And I don't care Yeah yeah yeah Just look ahead We're heading nowhere And I don't care As long as you're with me

Some part of me Went absent without leave The train of thought in my mind Is delayed cos of leaves on the line The other platform further down Is the train from crazy town And it's always bang on time A million passengers but that's just fine cos Some part of me Disturbs so many And my sanity Is only temporary And only just the other day Passers-by ran the other way Something that my t-shirt said How they all could wind up dead From the chemtrails overhead Sprayed by all kinds of jets Aluminium and mercury Got my orgonite to protect me Some part of me Disturbs so many And my sanity Is only temporary The proletariat on this earth Are never paid what they're worth It's time for a role reversal And I hope it's universal Some part of you Deep down always knew What lies beneath Was never far from reach Some part of me Disturbs so many And my sanity Is only temporary Temporary
