Let's suppose that all i thought was wrong let's suppose that's true let's suppose that everything i touch turns blue let's suppose you really are a friend let us just pretend let's suppose you will want to see me again i dare you to find me while i'm hidden between the peaks the last thing i need now is to wait seventeen more weeks [chorus:] caught on the run away from the sun caught on the run am i the only one? caught on the run just me and my gun caught on the run i'm not the only one let's suppose i'm never coming home and let's suppose you care let's suppose i'm making my new home nowhere let's suppose i didn't run away let's say i got lost let's propose a remedy, no extra cost will someone just tell me how much louder do i have to be? i'd blow my lungs out just make sure that you heard me [chorus:] let's suppose that all i thought was wrong let's suppose i'm never coming home let's suppose that all i thought was wrong let's suppose i'm never coming home

I Kid 03:36
I was just joking i kid when i'm around you to hide the sickness that keeps me bound those were the times i dreamed in colour you spoke in riddles i didn't bother can't move can't move and when i gave up bringing the laughter you stopped appearing i stopped soon after i was just joking i kid when i'm around you to hide the sickness that keeps me bound to you can't move can't move i'm too tired too much work please just let me sleep now i'm too tired too much work please just let me sleep i'll do it tomorrow

Supervillain 03:45
I saw myself in you all i can see now is darkness the kind I find deep within me I guess we're still not so different I can't seem to find the reasons why I'm stuck in a vicious cycle should I keep my aimless searching looking all around me and it's written on your back [chorus:] "I will save the world" "I will save the world" "I will save the world" for you can you be my superhero instead of just my supervillain you may be the spawn of evil but I can't help wanting you I will stop my faithless wonder why'd you want to keep me captive this is where I'll remain sitting waiting for a signal and it's written on your back [chorus:] my sky is empty but I'll still be holding on to you if you're the ruler of my world what else could you want all this doubt I'm wallowed in has left me in distress and it's written on your back [chorus:] and you can save my world you can save my world you can save my world if you just hold me too

Something left unsaid it's covering up inside those words within my mind so many words in my head and you can't hear them all in a land where loving stands as something sad as grief in this social claustrophobia i'll remember you is anyone forgettable until they say their name out loud so they can give just what they take there's something else to say these words i cannot hide but i just can't seem to find i know they must be in my heart while living in the dark they're tearing me apart [chorus:] and i can't wait for better while i'm lonely you know why 'cause i can't hand out the letter to you there's something left unsaid everyone has their share of thoughts sealed in their heads and when they get to speak out loud the words take another feel when surrounded by surrender i will see right through all the sorrow that tomorrow comes for me, not you i'll give you all my innocence as long as you deny that our feelings will soon die [chorus:]

Lifelike 03:55
I take pictures of the sky for the world is so empty i'd climb further to the stars where no one can forget me the ideal of the mind it can't last forever all utopias subside 'cause history knows better we shook our hands enjoyed the show stayed together in the afterglow but this i know it gave me hope it was a paradise the stars aligned and brought two months we never were apart my whole world felt as lifelike as a dream no stars two months was all it took for us to fade apart as lifelike as a half remembered dream a wall of tears a cyanide pillar time the healer becomes time the killer the world hasn't ended like it was supposed to so i go on searching for somewhere to return to i'm feeling tired i can't let go i may be caught in the undertow but this i know i just can't cope was not a paradise the stars aligned and brought two months we never were apart my whole world felt as lifelike as a dream no stars two months was all it took for us to fade apart as lifelike as a half remembered dream

Scapegoat 03:27
Throwing the blame pitching the demons from inside the game hoping they land over me yet i'm surprised i'm always the scapegoat prancing in the fields pastures and mountains of gold my mind said my mind said my mind said my mind said i'll swallow you whole nonsensical words spat at my face not chemical just a reaction to guilt horns stuck in rock hooves sunk in quicksand stray baphomet lost on his way back to hell my mind said my mind said my mind said my mind said i'll swallow you whole

The Point 05:19
If every small piece has its place don't let this fragment go to waste and disappear without a trace into air i dare to step out from the shell so many times i cannot tell ends always in a long farewell and goodnight give me money or let me be i want some money to set me free and i learned to read between the line i became too numb to join the fight so what's the point of it all? my fortune was rigged from the start all i can do is play the part what you call sorrow, i call art take a bow and give me money or let me be i want some money to set me free and i hoped these walls were built to last i forgot all bliss stays in the past so what's the point? give me a reason show me some purpose go waving your white flags until the pin drops how can i wait for something when all i get means nothing? are we not all lost? so what's the point? what's the point? what's the point of it all?

Alicerces 04:12
Suporte do fulgor de versos deslumbrantes terreno acidentado esconde desfiladeiros fecha-se o ser quando o léxico falha perdido outra vez nos labirintos do tempo [chorus:] então, então derrubaram os meus alicerces acerta devagar o meu olhar volátil abranda o pesar que a dormência desperta o brilho é fugaz por muito que cante invólucro atroz rodeia os meus dias [chorus:] sem lembrar sem fugir sem entrar [chorus:] é peça de museu algo inalcançável subir ao pedestal por escadas infinitas
9.
I feel my heart confiscated you hid it deep inside your fortress you have destroyed fantastical kingdoms our kingdoms [chorus:] i found the sun behind the moon i flicked the stars again too soon i saw the world behind your eyes it wasn't bright, it brought me doom everything you are everything i see i wish you'd be everything to me but we're the sun and moon so far apart you live in me through the pages specks of light arranged in faces going nowhere but going backwards getting there fast we're getting there fast [chorus:] everything you are everything i see i wish you'd be everything to me but we're the sun and moon so far apart i wish we'd be back at the start
10.
The birds they sing the rain will bring a pause to eyes a cloak to the skies two moons decay a bird of prey will always kill to feed the thrill whoever sleeps too soon will hear a different tune wings flap with all their might and lonesome they take flight without within beyond begin to feel alone birds have flown always failed to see the flock see the aerial pride maybe the lone needs less feathers to glide always failed to see the clouds until the sky turned bright wings may be tarnished, broken still lonesome they take flight
