Paper Gods
Oh, the paper Gods in the sky of gray All the fools in town are ruling today, today

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

Hey, you're gonna want it all the talking men declares Go running to be first in line for what? Nobody cares! Then next thing you must have find piece with matching bag It's nothing to be glad about all sad when you forget about it I'd rather racing or go run around the streets The slaver in a sweatshop, Putting trainers on your feet I'm walking through the rain, oblivious to pain To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it Oh oh oh, don't complain about it Oh oh oh, don't complain about it Oh oh oh, forget about it Oh oh oh oh

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

She's staring out from your computer screen It's all a self-dirty cash we can wash it clean So hang it out online, confessing you feel fine and if you got the time to spare we want to know Which name you're wearing And when you final curtain finally comes down We'll all be in the party room, no eyes to hide ??? the human race it came a basket case It's nothing to lose faith about it, It's really not a place to doubt it

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

(Paper Gods falling down With paper house, paper town Paper Gods falling down A paper world just falling down Paper Gods falling down With paper house, paper town Paper Gods falling down A paper world just falling down)

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

Last Night in the City
I'm not gonna sleep tonight Till the morning fills the sky No one's getting left behind This is our time, This is our time!

We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares, If there's no tomorrow.

I'm not thinking 'bout the future, It's somewhere out there We're too busy being human We remember Hearts' spinning all around on me (together) Now they're surrounding me This is how we get connected Running out the shadows into light!

We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our last night in the city!

I've been traveling around now Big world with my brothers, Always moving to a new town No time to put the roofs down We can't stop believing (can't stop) Now we believe in you 'Cause when you're standing in the spotlights The only thing that matters is tonight!!

We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares, If there's no tomorrow. We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our last night in the city!

Ye-yeah Last night in the city Ye-yeah Last night in the city

I'm not gonna sleep tonight Till the morning fills the sky No one's getting left behind This is our time, This is our time!

We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares, If there's no tomorrow. We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our last night in the city!

Ye-yeah Last night in the city Ye-yeah Last night in the city

You Kill Me With Silence
You're thin ice I should be on solid ground I know so quite vices I couldn't hear their cracking sound

But I remain despite your deadly aim to drive another lad insane when you all speak my name

You kill me with silence that's your style, girl You're letting me know This deafening silence The only reason that you're in control you're in control

It's emotional violence I can breathe now but I can let go You kill me with silence silence...silence...

Truth or lies, things are hoting up in here If I had a knife, you could cut the atmosphere Something else, I like this bed of nails That's what I tell myself, couldn't be much worse in hell

You kill me with silence that's your style, girl You're letting me know This deafening silence The only reason that you're in control (you're in control)

It's emotional violence I can breathe now but I can let go You kill me with silence...silence...

You kill me with silence...

Face for Today
A little rain of comfort tn the afternoon To brighten up the room To lighten up your mood The whole world is a mix spot on a plastic spoon You can find it, or invite it Live beside it, laughing till you're crying

What are the Chances?
Any other day and you might have gone walking by Without a second look Any other way but I'm still mystified I'm just trying to change my luck Staring out the world awaiting for the one But the world won't look away The world does not explain So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? Playing with your life or is it destiny Which sets you on a path? Is it out of tries that you're here next to me Or just the aftermath Of moments as the past So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? We are last in the flow I'm looking for answers, oho So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? We are last in the flow I'm looking for answers, oho

Sunset Garage
So halfway drunk You'd never feel With your big eye punk Fashion fingernails Something cooking When you play guitar What a stake we're in How did we get so far

Whatever happens, we're okay Hey, we're still alive To watch a sunset garage day Head into the light Oh, oh with that all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own I promise us a garage day, oh

See how the town comes out Like a bruise When the wheels go round We can do anything Nobody looking And then six more come Maybe later, later Could take it up from here

Whatever happens, we're okay Hey, we're still alive To watch a sunset garage day Head into the light Oh, oh with that all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own Oh, oh, if they bring us down We're gonna break out of this town Into a sunset garage day, oh

Yesterday looks so dead, so far away From this point of disarray Waiting for a sun burn into frame It's so fine, about the high water life Shifting with the paradise Drifting as the drain move into flame

Oh, oh with that all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own Oh, oh, if it all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own It's a sunset garage day, oh yeah It's a sunset garage day, oh yeah, yeah It's a sunset garage day, yeah, yeah, yeah

Change the Skyline
This is where it starts Standing on the roof up here Saying goodbye to darkness Now I can see the big idea Cities East and West You won't miss me when I'm gone The only thing that's left is The feeling that I'm moving on

So you walk the line But something inside you says no way Are we losing time 'Cause I waited long enough

I can change the skyline Out of range but in time Time to change the skyline I see far horizons

An empire in a day Built on hope and burnt by the sun But I'm happy to watch it fade When I can raise it up again

Opening my eyes Maybe it's not impossible Don't you think it's time 'Cause I waited long enough

I can change the skyline Out of range but in time Time to change the skyline I see far horizons

I can change the skyline Out of range but in time Time to change the skyline Icy far horizons

Butterfly Girl
By the look on your face you've been awake all night It started raining the early light You're fooling the mirror but you don't fool me Adrift in your own sympathy

Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark Alone deep in the dark of your devotion Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go To get back in control of your emotion

You can make it through tomorrow Set free your butterfly girl And when you rise above the sorrow You'll be a butterfly girl

Now you're drunk in the dream of your life as dirt It might last forever, and that really hurts And I still hope you're gonna realize There's only one kind of happy in that glass of wine

Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark Alone deep in the dark of your devotion Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go To get back in control of your emotion

You can make it through tomorrow Set free your butterfly girl And when you rise above the sorrow You'll be a butterfly girl

That's you falling apart, for so long in the dark So long deep in the heart of your devotion Let go the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go To get back in control of your emotion

You can make it through tomorrow Set free your butterfly girl And when you rise above the sorrow You'll be a butterfly girl You can fly, yeah, yeah Set free your butterfly girl You'll go high, yeah, yeah You'll be a butterfly girl Set free your butterfly girl Set free your butterfly girl

Only in Dreams
Only in dreams girl am I part of your world My heart it screams or so it seems Only in dreams

Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams

Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard What does it mean to fly the scene Only in dreams girl

There's a vampire in the limousine Sun's going down like a symphony She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet I don't want to wake up

Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time It's in my genes, it get's extreme Only in dreams

How did I dream you You're the queen of steel dunes Look what you done my colors run When ever you come to

There's a vampire in the limousine Sun's going down like a symphony She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet I don't want to wake up

There's a vampire in the limousine Sun's going down like a symphony She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet I don't want to wake up

On the rooftop we can feel the drop She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch I should be nervous but my eyes forget I don't want to wake up I'm not gonna wake up I don't want to wake up

Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams Don't want to wake up Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams Don't want to wake up Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams

The Universe Alone
It's beautiful, the dying sun The end of everything and everyone So shall we make a clan my friend As if we have the chance to live it all again

I'll see you in some other lifetime On the other side of what we'll never know Together we have walked a fine line Now we go to face the universe alone

In plain view, the mistakes we've made But is there anything you'd really want to change To win and lose then win again To have it all then throw it all away

I'll see you in some other lifetime On the other side of what we'll never know Together we have walked a fine line Now we go to face the universe alone

How beautiful the closing down The fading out, it spins and goes around With darkness and the heart of man And here we are back where it all began

I'll see you in some other lifetime The universe alone The universe alone The universe alone

Planet Roaring
Oh, the paper Gods in the sky of gray All the fools in town are ruling today, today

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

Hey, you're gonna want it all the talking men declares Go running to be first in line for what? Nobody cares! Then next thing you must have find piece with matching bag It's nothing to be glad about all sad when you forget about it I'd rather racing or go run around the streets The slaver in a sweatshop, Putting trainers on your feet I'm walking through the rain, oblivious to pain To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it Oh oh oh, don't complain about it Oh oh oh, don't complain about it Oh oh oh, forget about it Oh oh oh oh

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

She's staring out from your computer screen It's all a self-dirty cash we can wash it clean So hang it out online, confessing you feel fine and if you got the time to spare we want to know Which name you're wearing And when you final curtain finally comes down We'll all be in the party room, no eyes to hide ??? the human race it came a basket case It's nothing to lose faith about it, It's really not a place to doubt it

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

(Paper Gods falling down With paper house, paper town Paper Gods falling down A paper world just falling down Paper Gods falling down With paper house, paper town Paper Gods falling down A paper world just falling down)

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin, Fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots Fools leading (today) Who needs them?!

Valentine Stones
Down here with the strays and the damaged All stood in a line This recovery, so they tell me, is one day at a time

And you think you can help me maybe You can turn on your heels and save me But I don't want to be like the boys that you keep in tow

Like your valentine stones, stones, stones Your valentine stones

All roads lead from my resurrection, to your sympathy An empty space which spoils your collection, that was meant for me

And you say you can help me maybe You can turn on your charms to save me But I don't want to be just a toy that you keep at home

Like your valentine stones, stones, stones Your valentine stones

Lost--souls--diamonds and gold Gold-cold-valentine stones Lost-souls-diamonds and gold Gold-cold-valentine stones

And you think you can help me maybe You can turn on your heels and save me But I don't wanna be like the boys that you keep in tow

Like your valentine stones Souls-diamonds and gold Gold-cold-valentine stones Lost-souls-diamonds and gold Gold-cold-valentine stones

(diamonds and gold) (valentine stones)

Northern Lights
Looking up, from the polar sheets Out in the stars, there's one I want to meet I am the signal, somewhere in your bliss So tell me do, do you hear my wish

You're comin' down now (from there) You're comin' round now (to share) You got a thing I (I care) I care about, I care about

If you want to stay tonight Write your name across the sky Nothing I would rather like Than see you in the Northern Lights

Up on the roof, I listen for the moan Of your soft footstep on the snow Now and then, somebody else's glow As they tune in to watch the show

You're coming down now (from there) You're coming round now (to share) You got a thing I (I care) I care about, I care about

If you want to stay tonight Write your name across the sky Nothing I would rather like Than see you in the Northern Lights If you want to play the night We could take an evening flight Shine out from a higher height Then we'll be in the Northern Lights

If you want to stay tonight Write your name across the sky Nothing I would rather like Than see you in the Northern Lights If you want to play the night We could take an evening flight Shine out from a higher height Then we'll be in the Northern Lights Write your name across the sky (write your name, write your name) Write your name across the sky (write your name, write your name) Write your name across the sky (write your name, write your name) Write your name across the sky (write your name, write your name)

On Evil Beach
A drop of blood on evil beach And soon the sharks swim to the pool She makes a splash red face on him In front of the entire school Here lies the misadventure Feel the same as you yourself Creatures eyes in full dimensions Give it all that we got left We light a spark on evil beach And soon the sharks swim to the pool She makes a splash red face on him In front of the entire school Here lies the misadventure Feel the same as you yourself Creatures eyes in full dimensions Give it all that we got left

Cinderella Ride
Cinderella, will you ride, will you ride with me? Out into a smoke-filled night across the bridge of tears, Where children with their eyes sewn shut  Lay begging on the stones And will we lead them from this dust? Yes we will lead them home All away, let it all away 'til there's Nothing to carry and nothing to worry Now fall away, let it fall away 'til You're light as a bird in the air Cinderella riding down on the ebbing tide Down to mend the broken cups and their foolish pride Solace to the angry mob, succor to the weak Cinderella, cup of love, their pain is what you seek All away, let it all away 'til there's  Nothing to carry and nothing to worry about Fall away, let it fall away 'til You're light as a bird in the air All away, let it all away 'til there's Nothing to carry and nothing to worry about Fall away, let it fall away 'til We're light as the birds in the air Cinderella, queen of bells, Cinderella ride Leave them with their fond farewells and their petty crimes Leave behind the blood-let clouds, Rise up on sparrow wings And you shall be a queen of shrouds, The queen of helpless things

As Seen From a Distance
As seen from a distance The death of a killer (Repeat)
