I know I’m dishonest
‘Cos you said that you’re not
And I know that I’m greedy
‘Cos you’ve taken the lot
And I know that we’d argue
It’s just the way that you are
So thank God I’m not like you
At least not from afar
‘Cos I can’t be around, I can do without
I can’t be around desires, all those things I admire
I know I’m disloyal
I saw you walking away
And I know that I’m spiteful
from all the things that you say
And I know that there's conflict
It’s just the way that you are
So thank God I don’t need it
At least not anymore
‘Cos I can’t be around, I can do without
I can’t be around desires, all those things I admire
So thank God that I’m running
far away from it all
And thank God that I’m running
So far away from it all
‘Cos I can’t be around, I can do without
I can’t be around lies, I can do without you crying
I can’t be around, I can do without desires
All those things I’d admire

Noa's Arc
04:02
|
|||
One day that marks every other
The truth that you’ll never recover
A pain that just cannot be expressed
It takes time for the reflex
What made you think she’s giving up today?
She chose to fight it all the way
Noa’s Arc
Curving down, never up
Noa’s Arc
Just curves down
Noa’s Arc
One girl with a thousand and one stories
Still loved, though she just can’t recall it
A past that can never let her go
Guess it’s time to come home
She won’t ever seek your empathy
All your tears won’t cure this disease
Noa’s Arc
Curving down, never up
Noa’s Arc
Just curves down
Noa’s Arc

The Automatic Day
03:34
|
|||
I know it’s wrong
It’s partly why the voices tell me to carry on
A lifetime of devices we rely upon
Or so they say
I sense a need
I feel it as it burns a hole right into me
Are those that never learn condemned to long repeat
the automatic day?
And when we wake every day too late
they’ll soon understand
And when we miss the chances to progress
Then come and take my hand
It’s that time again
So who will rise
to shake off this arcane system of compromise?
‘Cos there’s something quite circadian that beats a line
to the automatic day
And when we wake every day ‘round 8
they’ll soon understand
And when we miss the chances to progress
then come and take my hand
It’s that time again

Fight or Flight
04:16
|
|||
Facing the fear that I might stay and fight
some guy with a gun or some gang with a knife
My reflex is on
But am I coming home in the night?
I want to believe that I’ll make the right choice
Adrenalin calls, it’s no longer my voice
That reflex kicks in
That impetuous thing I avoid
Fight or flight, you think you know but
where’s the living proof?
You like to think you’re in control but
Your knife, it knows the truth
Fortune it favours the brave, so they say
But what use is that when you face judgement day?
When safety, it calls
your conscious thought’s spinning away
Fight or flight, you think you know but
where’s the living proof?
You like to think you’re in control but
Your gun, it knows the truth
Fight or flight, you think you know but
where’s the living proof?
You like to think you’re in control but
Your knife, it knows the truth

And don't I know you never doubted yourself
I'm certain of this
And I can see you never needed my help
But answer me this
What’s the limit of your new found faith now?
And have you weighed the costs? Who supplied them first?
Do you have their trust? She turns and says
Believe in something else, believing in yourself
Believe you me you're all you’ll ever need
Believe in something else, believe it for yourself
Believe you me you're all you ever needed
I never doubted that you healed in real time
It was real when you spoke
And those that feel you’re purely trading on lies, well
they ain’t even ‘woke’
What’s the limit of these inner powers, now?
What’s it drawing on? Who’d you buy it from?
Where’s the salesman gone? She turns and says
Believe in something else, believing in yourself
Believe you me you're all you’ll ever need
Believe in something else, believe it for yourself
Believe you me you're all you ever needed
All you ever need, all you ever needed
All you ever need so
Believe in something else
Believing in yourself
Believe in something else
Believing in yourself

After the Storm
05:19
|
|||
I run back out into the streets
Listen out for those in need
Lend a hand, if I can I reach
I roll away all of the rocks
Thought I heard somebody knock
Thought I felt it in my heart
We carry the children from the wreck
our elders from the deck
The rest can rot in hell
The moment it hit
You’ll have seen how I split
right after hoarding all this
I don’t care how you fall
‘Cos I’m stampeding out
Watch me push you to the ground
And I don’t care how you’re found
‘Cos I’ll be back after the storm
I’ll share most everything I have
A bed for those who’ve left
behind everything they had
It’s true, I’ll help rebuild your home
And you’ll never walk alone
‘Til you make it on your own
I’ll cook, I’ll feed you ‘til you’re well
‘Til you’re strong enough to tell
how I left you for the birds

Can't dance alone, the beat feels bigger with you
Can't drink at home, I need to share so join the queue
And all your friends were strangers when you met
Some things are better in groups
With people who don't even know it's you
Where everybody's fooled the same way too, it's true
Can't eat alone, I need to feel like I compete
Can't sing at home, so everybody sing with me
And all my friends were strangers when we met
Some things are better in groups
With people who won't ever talk to you
Where everybody thinks the same way too, it's true
Some things are better in groups
With people who don't even know it's you
Where everybody thinks the same way too, it's true
And all my friends were strangers when we met

Home Again
04:13
|
|||
And here we’ll have reached the point
When the fear’s not the thing that we all avoid
We all run towards the threat, towards the pain
And we’ll pay for the chance to be hit
to be scared, to be lost, be indifferent
Walk the line, walk on fire, walk away
The privilege of knowing we’re safe
just allows us to indulge those things we hate
The memory, the thrill of today
is knowing we’ll be coming home again
And how will you reach the extreme
when you’ve not lived without complete immediacy?
Will you battle, will you buckle, never fail?
The privilege of knowing we’re safe
just allows us to indulge those things we hate
The memory, the thrill of today
is knowing we’ll be coming home again
The will to try, to test
what it’s like for the other 50 percent
And are you happy now you know, that you knew?
The privilege of knowing we’re safe
just allows us to indulge those things we hate
The memory, the thrill of today
is knowing we’ll be coming home again
Coming home again
Coming home again

Bulletproof
03:55
|
|||
They call me every name under the sun
I keep my cool
With claims that are flying in from everyone
But I’m no fool
You can tape me taking bribes or giving bungs
But it’s no use
‘Cos life is just that little bit more fun when you’re bulletproof
So everyone take aim and we’ll try to take a shot
But when they feel no pain they’re just gonna laugh it off
My people say it broadens my appeal
But who’s to say?
When you’ve carefully conspired in every deal
They’ll agree anyway
You can say that I am just a barefaced liar
But it’s no use
‘Cos the people love a devil in disguise
Thus I’m bulletproof
So everyone take aim and we’ll try to take a shot
But when they feel no pain they’re just gonna laugh it off
They’re waiting for the moment I will fall
They’ll wait a while
‘Cos when lawyers are still fielding all my calls
it’s all so futile
You can tape me taking bribes or giving bungs
But it’s no use
‘Cos life is just that little bit more fun when you’re bulletproof
When you’re bulletproof

This Means War
03:19
|
|||
We might shake hands when it’s all over
Picking up spears, all the canon balls
I might be hiding in the bunker
But be in no doubt this means war
So just pick any weapon of choice
Change of clothes, shake a stick, call the boys. Let’s go to war
And soon they’ll throw us to the lions
It’s what I’ve trained my whole life for
Thank God there’s a vicious mob behind us
And be in no doubt this means war
So just pick any song, raise your voice
It may be sick but the ‘boys will be boys’. Let’s go to war.
Let’s go to war
And what will we do when we lose?
So just pick any weapon of choice
Change of clothes, shake a stick, call the boys. Let’s go to war
Let’s go to war
We might shake hands when it’s all over
But be in no doubt this means war

Cult With No Name
04:27
|

When groups grow too large there’s gonna be a fight
Some decisions are hard when everybody says they’re right
And three is a crowd and then four a mistake
‘Cos someone is bound to be late
Cross lines and enlist, there’s so much left to do
‘Cos different fish, they gotta jump out of the school
But three is a crowd and then four a mistake
I’m claiming this here caliphate
And out of the dark, out of some kind of spark
lights a flame
Then they build their caches, soon they’re breaking away the
Cult With No Name
Come join in my gang where no-one’s made the rules
You’ll soon understand how you were taken for a fool
But three is a crowd, and then four a mistake
I’m counting the hours ‘til it breaks
And out of the dark, out of some kind of spark
lights a flame
Then they build their caches, soon they’re breaking away the
Cult With No Name

Ruins
04:31
|

I visited your ruins today
Still trying to comprehend just what they say
We’re told ‘rise up, come look at what they’ve done!’
We’re told to live in fear of someone
And who’s to say?
I visited your ruins today
They tell me that in time it will be okay
‘Cos time will tell what they can’t tell you now
‘Cos time will tell you anyhow
It will find a way
I visited your ruins today
A monument to war and its decay
Come fight the power or, if not, all who fight
Come live in fear until the time is right
Gonna make them pay
