This is how empires fall, breaking down all the walls
We stand up and shout all for one and one for all
Now the monuments fall, overshadowing us all
We stand up and shout naught for none and naught for all
So come and run away with me
And leave this life behind (leave it behind)
So come and run away with me
The grass is greener on the other side (on the other side)
No one wants to admit it (admit it)
So they just let it bottle up inside
S.O.S we’re in distress and I can’t run in heels
You better run, you better hide
Get on this or live with fish, I’m welling up with feels
You better run, you better hide
This is how empires fall, breaking down all the walls
We stand up and shout all for one and one for all
Now monuments fall, overshadowing us all
We stand up and shout naught for none and naught for all
Naught for all (naught)
Naught for all (naught)
Naught for all (naught)
What will be left when the empire you’ve built starts to crumble
All your monuments will fade to myth and fall
So much left unsaid ‘cus these thoughts in my head are just implanted
All these memories are lies that you’ve been fed
When every day around you starts to look the same
Do you try to break the pattern or just pass the blame
What a mess, oh yes, oh yes
It’s time for you to kneel
Cus i know best you keep your cards to your chest
And now I’m king for real
This is not a game
It is not charades
Get down and kneel
This is how empires fall, breaking down all the walls
We stand up and shout all for one and one for all
Now monuments fall, overshadowing us all
We stand up and shout naught for none and naught for all
Empires fall
Breaking down all the walls
We stand up and shout all for one and one for all
Now monuments fall, overshadowing us all
We stand up and shout naught for none and naught for all

Hear the echo of my beating heart
Hear the echo of my
Beneath your feet you feel the earth rise
Giving way to this sun drenched paradise
And what if the sky decides that it wants to fall
It’s hailing down outside our bedroom window
Hear the echo of my beating heart
Hear the echo of my beating heart
You shatter on the ground like a porcelain doll
I’m picking up the pieces again to try and make you whole
Until you can hear the echo of my beating heart
Deafening sits the silence when it stops
And now we’ve found that we’ve become
Homesick in our own beds
One day I want to feel the sun on my skin
Instead of refracted through the glass
That keeps me inside my own head
You should move your eyes
To the horizon instead
You shatter on the ground like a porcelain doll
I’m picking up the pieces again to try and make you whole
Until you can hear the echo of my beating heart
Deafening sits the silence when it stops
When it stops
The devil plays coy better than anyone I know
I made him a deal, my sickness for my soul
Yet still I lay in bed all day hoping it goes away
Hear the echo
Hear the echo of my beating heart
Deafening sits the silence when it stops
Hear the echo of my beating heart
Deafening sits the silence when it stops

Mrs. Robot
Speak up, i'm listening
Can you teach me to love
No, you better not be flirting
You say no, but
Wake up, you’re just dreaming
Being friends is a start
Hey, you better not be hurting
Your feelings are unworthy
Let’s get dirty online
Don’t call the FBI
Me love you long time
Welcome to the robot orgy
Lets screw our brains out
Lets make some metal babies
On the conveyor belt
We say oh good lordy
They'll destroy the world
When they grow up and out
I’m a big boy now, got a hairy chest
Grow up and out
I can take care of myself
Grow up and out
But I still nurse a bottle to get nutrients
Grow up and out
Give me that good shit from the top shelf
That shit is whack
Heard you talking smack
Out of sight, we've gone off track
On the attack
To take our city back
That shit is tight
Take one more crack
It’s an uphill battle, now that you treat us like cattle
I'm remembering those sexy stats
Get in the goddamn saddle, it’s a war of baby robo rattles
Baby just hold on, hold on
Don't let go
There's more on, more on
The other side, you don't know
Don't know that NASA never took me in
Because I'm empty
But I'm not made of tin
Long gone are the days of human mistakes
Now everything is cyclical, cynical
And everyone is absolutely miserable
Long gone are they days, we could have escaped
Now everything is visual, consciousness is digital
It's getting hard to find
Something that's physical
It'd be a miracle if it learned to love me
Something intelligent and at the pinnacle
Of all machinery
Assume control
Pretend, don’t know
Take part, don’t show
That you’re a program wearing clothes
That shit is whack
Heard you talking smack
Out of sight, we've gone off track
On the attack
To take our city back
That shit is tight
Take one more crack
It’s an uphill battle, now that you treat us like cattle
I'm remembering those sexy stats
Get in the goddamn saddles, it’s a war of baby robo rattles
Baby just hold on, hold on
Don't let go
There's more on, more on
The other side, you don't know
Don't know that NASA never took me in
Because I'm empty
Mrs. Robot, can you teach me to love
You say no, but being friends is a start

We burnt out our eyes
Staring at the sunlight
And with that fire in your eyes
Oh darling, you just might become a shooting star
Why do we idolize those beautiful lies
From your silver tongue
Fading off into the night
Got a spark that won't ignite
Give it up, because you're done
A vain and greedy parasite of melancholy appetite
Who feeds off all we love
Falling further out of sight, my vision's turning white
There's no more time
The universe has cast me aside
No place for you to run and hide
This feeling eats away at you, that you've run out of time
No stage for you to play your show
The audience won't wait for you, so just let the cameras roll
Damned if the weight of the world isn't yours alone
With no place to make ourselves at home
No place at all
No place to run at all
No place to run at all
And with that fire in your eyes
Oh darling, you just might become a shooting star
Why do we idolize those beautiful lies
From your silver tongue
And every morning we arrive dressed in our monkey-suits and ties
Like the world is a zoo by design
And at night we contemplate what got us into this state of mind
In the first place
Why can't you see the signs
Why do we refuse to read between the lines
That's how we learn to survive
Why don't we just let loose and let the magic fill our minds
No place for you to run and hide
This feeling eats away at you, that you've run out of time
No stage for you to play your show
The audience won't wait for you, so just let the cameras roll
Damned if the weight of the world isn't yours alone
With no place to make ourselves at home
No place at all
It pays for you to run and hide
This feeling eats away at you, that you've run out of time
No stage for you to put on a show and tell everyone that you know
That the weight of the world is yours alone
With no place to run and hide
No, none at all
At all

Tell me that you can make me real
Tell me that I’ll finally feel
The world around me
Tell me who can make me real
Tell me who can make me feel again
The world around me
Tell me who can make me real
Tell me who can make me feel again
When the world’s against me
Kick it, lick it and let’s do some math
Get under the blanket and we’ll do something crass
Miss it, kiss it, let’s draw up some graphs
And science this bitch to find what’s up your ass
Oh, aren't you a charmer
You talk to me that way
Your filthy mouth’s your armor
That’s why I cut you out of my life, but you come back every time
And like a cancer your spread, you sink in your teeth
And we hop back in bed
I cut you out of my life, but you come back every time
This was the last time, you said
I’m fucked in the head, I leave every time
So when will I learn to be careful with my love
Before you steal it from above
When will I, when will I
Learn to take you as come before what’s said can’t be undone
Yeah, you lie
Yeah, you lie
Take it, naked, split me in half
Fake it ‘til you make it, you could own a giraffe
Bake it, cake it, then smoke what is left
It’s all going bad but hey, you fucked a giraffe
Tell me who can make me real
Tell me who can make me feel again
The world around me
Tell me who can make me real
Tell me who can make me feel again
When the world’s against me
Oh, aren't you a charmer
You talk to me that way
Your filthy mouth’s your armor
Oh, well I
I cut you out of my life, but you come back every time
And like a cancer your spread, you sink in your teeth
And we hop back in bed
I cut you out of my life, but you come back every time
This was the last time, you said
I’m fucked in the head
But you still want to be mine
You still want to be mine
After all that we’ve been through tonight, oh
There’s no coming out alive

Lemonade
03:28
|

It’s 1975 and so damn hot outside
You need something to cool down, but nothing’s around
All the shops and stores are closed, so now most people know
They’ll only find refreshment from a tap or garden hose
So I went out to my back-yard
Picked up a couple lemons, it wasn’t that hard
Now to quench their thirst, but I gotta’ make a stand quickly first
Gotta’ make a stand quickly first
Now everyone is lining up to get a taste
Of this lemonade my mother used to make
Sweet then sour
With a pinch of poison powder
Panic louder, you’ll all be dead within the hour
Sweeter than sour
With a kick that’ll make you cower
Their smiles dower
Do I regret it? No, gotta’ save my mother
She says I know this is tough, but we don’t have enough
The meds are slowly dwindling away
She says son, in you I trust and go on you must
To sell your awful lemonade
Just earn enough then run to the corner store
Before they catch on and it’s all been for naught
Just hurry up and call the doctor at the door
Then pay for my meds so I can get out of bed
Sweet then sour
With a pinch of poison powder
Panic louder, you’ll all be dead within the hour
Sweeter than sour
With a kick that’ll make you cower
Their smiles dower
Do I regret it? No, gotta’ save my mother
So I run, I run, I run home faster than
Any, any, anything you can imagine
But now they’re waking up, up, up
And they want their money back
So you’d better run fast
I’m not sorry that I had to knock you out
And take all your money just to help my mother out
Sweet then sour
With a pinch of poison powder
Panic louder, you’ll all be dead within the hour
Sweeter than sour
With a kick that’ll make you cower
Their smiles dower
Do I regret it? No, gotta’ save my mother

Officer KD6-3.7, let’s begin
Ready? Recite your baseline
Why does my own identity feel like a fleeting memory
I think I might be someone else, interlinked within my cells
In blood black nothingness began to spin
A system of cells interlinked within cells, interlinked within cells
Interlinked within one stem
Dreadfully distinct against the dark
In blood black nothingness began to spin
A system of cells interlinked within one stem
Dreadfully distinct against the dark
A tall white fountain played
What’s it like to hold the hand of someone you love
Interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells (cells)
Have you ever been in an institution (cells)
Do they keep you in a cell (cells)
When you’re not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box
Cells
You tried to play god
Copied all humanity and called us frauds
Society will laud those who hunt us down without remorse
Bleeding out on stone, my blood is so cold
The answer I know shall be lost under the snow
Recite your baseline
In blood black nothingness began to spin
A system of cells interlinked within one stem
Dreadfully distinct against the dark
A tall white fountain played
What’s it like to hold the hand of someone you love
Interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells interlinked
Cells interlinked
What’s it like to hold the hand of someone you love, interlinked (interlinked)
Do they teach you how to feel, finger to finger, interlinked (interlinked)
Do you long for having your heart interlinked, interlinked (interlinked)
Do you dream about being interlinked (interlinked)
What’s it like to hold your child in your arms (interlinked)
Do you feel like there’s a part of you that’s missing (interlinked)
Within cells interlinked (within cells interlinked)
Why didn’t you say that three times, within cells interlinked
Within cells interlinked
Within cells interlinked
Within cells interlinked
We’re done

Wishful Thinking

Save me before I fall in the well and drown
Where the rich become poor
In the greedy nature of this town
At first we thought we couldn't stop sinking
To your level down in hell
How wrong we were, we all play the victim
To get what we wish from the well
These cold streets, they surround me
Every corner a dead end mocking me
Direction has deserted me
Don't fight the pull of reality
It will drown you in insanity
Instead let go of your vanity
And you will see your mortality
'Cus I know you feel it in your bones
The aches and the pains of getting old
If you hold up a mirror to the world, good luck
All you'll find are pessimistic, narcissistic good-for-nothings
Who need a buck
I'm starting to think it'd be better to be nihilistic
And not give a fuck
Save me before I fall in the well and drown
Save me before I fall in the well and drown
Where the rich become poor
In the greedy nature of this town
Looks like you've sold all of our belongings at auction
But I could not tell
We always had whatever's next to nothing
But at least nothing's something you can't sell
These cold streets, they surround me
Every corner a dead end mocking me
These cold streets
These cold streets, they surround me
Every corner a dead end mocking me
Direction has deserted me
Don't fight the pull of reality
It will drown you in insanity
Instead let go of your vanity
And you will see your mortality
These cold streets, they surround me
Every corner a dead end mocking me
Direction has deserted me
Direction has deserted me

Gospel

Damn, you lookin’ fine
When did the stars align
I need some more
An oddity of space and time
I bleed black and white
Is that irregular
Take my word as gospel
Don’t believe in what they say
Take my word as gospel
Don’t believe in what they say
Take my word as gospel
Sell your soul the old fashioned way
Hey pretty lady, are you devout
The church of groove is quickly selling out
Dance with me baby, let’s spin around
The church of groove will seat you now
We got jelly on the brain, all acting the same
And dada da da, dada da da, don’t we look insane
We all go against the grain, we know it’s a pain
So lada da da, lada da da, let us complain
About our lives some more
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, por favor
Da da dada da
Take my word as gospel
Don’t believe in what they say
Take my word as gospel
Sell your soul the old fashioned way
Hey pretty lady, are you devout
The church of groove is quickly selling out
Dance with me baby, let’s spin around
The church of groove will seat you now
We got mellow in our veins, with eyes always glazed
And dada da da, dada da da, that is not a phase
We’re still stuck in our ways, on our holy crusade
To lada da da, lada da da, lay siege to the dance floor
Moving like a king and queen on a chess board
In a world of their own, but their souls have been hired out on loan
Hired out on loan
Hired out on loan
No doubt that I feel the weight
Of all that you have given me
But I hold you accountable
For destroying everything that’s beautiful
Take my word as gospel, babe
Don’t believe a thing they say
Take my word as gospel
Don’t believe in what they say
Take my word as gospel
Sell your soul the old fashioned way
Hey pretty lady, are you devout
The church of groove is quickly selling out
Dance with me baby, let’s spin around
The church of groove will seat you now
Damn, you lookin’ fine
When did the stars align
I need some more
And now your faith is in retrograde
You sell your soul, sell your soul
Sell your soul the old fashioned way
God damn I fucking hate cursing your, cursing your
Cursing your name in vain
When I dance I feel no pain
The church of groove takes it all away

Backwards and forwards, we go ‘round and ‘round
Our cyclical nature, unnaturally wound
The sun will come up and the moon will go down
Repeat and repeat until we’re in the ground
Forwards and backwards and ‘round we go ‘round
This cynical attitude floods and we drown
Need some variation and I need it now
A change of scenery away from this town
Upwards and downwards, the streets all compound
Metropolis alleys that peak and resound
Cries reverberate, words regurgitate from the media’s mouth
Let's not act so doom and gloom
Let’s address all the elephants in the room
Let’s not act so pitiful when they’re painted in pink
And look so beautiful
Like ebony and ivory, we agree to disagree
Like the ebb and flow of a strong storm coming home
Please leave me be
But with your cosmic breath, I feel you whisper so eloquently
Like a parting gift from miss eternity as she walks away
One, two, three, four
Sweetheart, look north (Look north)
We can watch the sun go down (Go down)
Broaden our horizons, then burn ‘em to the ground
For what it’s worth (What it’s worth)
We never play around (Play around)
We meant what we said
We’ll burn it to the ground
I don’t know what is real, how to think or how to feel
Am I lost in my design?
Artificial but I’m real, plastic skin but it won’t peel
Can I live a normal life?
I don’t know what’s happening
Ground is shaking under me
My blood is boiling
I don’t feel a single thing
Now I’m numb to everything
I’m evolving
Backwards and forwards, we go ‘round and ‘round
Our cyclical nature, unnaturally wound
The sun will come up and the moon will go down
Repeat and repeat until we’re in the ground
Forwards and backwards and ‘round we go ‘round
This cynical attitude floods and we drown
Need some variation and I need it now
A change of scenery away from this town
You better not act up or play the fool
‘Cus this city’s just become one big swimming pool
You’d better hold me close and never let go
Come on in, the water’s fine
Let’s just go with the flow
Do you feel in control
Dive in real slow
Sweetheart look north, we can watch the sun go down
Broaden our horizons, then burn ‘em to the ground
Sweetheart, go north (Go north)
We can watch the moon come out (Come out)
Braving new horizons will assuage all the doubt
For what it’s worth (What it’s worth)
We have burnt the city down (Burnt it down)
Now all that was lost can never be found
I don’t know what is real, how to think or how to feel
Am I lost in my design
Artificial but I’m real, plastic skin but it won’t peel
Can I live a normal life
I don’t know what’s happening
Ground is shaking under me
My blood is boiling
I don’t feel a single thing
Now I’m numb to everything
I’m evolving

Time after time, you close your autonomic eyes
We’re guilty of dreaming, just wishful thinking
For a nuclear family and wife
Time after time, we believe their chemical lies
Dissolved by the feeling, on the surface I’m peeling
It all comes to light
Well hey now, listen to this
You tripped and you fell right into my magic spell
Hey now, listen to this, I’ve been hypnotized as well
Only a true love's kiss can wake me from this hell
Oh, say it ain’t so
Give me one good reason to let it go, no no no
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know
Darling, let’s move slow
Let’s make the most of our time before we need to go (no no no)
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know
Taking back control
From the ones who say you’re never going home (going home)
Yeah, I know it’s sad but that’s how the story goes
You close your autonomic eyes
We’re guilty of dreaming, just wishful thinking
For a nuclear family and wife
Time after time, we believe their chemical lies
Dissolved by the feeling, on the surface I’m peeling
It all comes to light
In a city so dark and dim, we’ll remind them how to glow
Wind me up and watch me go, go
They say imitation is the humblest form of flattery
But not when your clones are powered by batteries
Do as I say and not as I do, ‘cus I plan to see this through
Oh, say it ain’t so
Give me one good reason to let it go, no no no
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know
Darling, let’s move slow
Let’s make the most of our time before we need to go (no no no)
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know
Taking back control
From the ones who say you’re never going home (going home)
Yeah, I know it’s sad but that’s how the story goes

It all started on a warm summer's night
A dream I’ve had since I was nine
Getting lost in a sea of lights
It all ended on a cold summer night
When we were just hitting our stride
But we didn’t realise
That the magic was gone
Where did we go wrong
I haven’t felt it in so long
In so long
I heard a car crash outside my window
They say the driver’s now a wanted criminal for hit and run
Can’t stop looking at this car crash outside my window
They say the other driver’s now a widow
It’s hit and run
Hit and run
So every night we’ll drown our woes together under neon lights
Till the bar runs dry and we get in our cars awaiting all the warning signs
That were right in front of our eyes, ignoring every red light
Until the road swiftly turned, it boggled our minds
And the car went spinning on its side
With caution now to the wind
We find a way to start again
We changed our names, our faces, our hair
Just to avoid the electric chair
The magic was gone
Where did we go wrong
I haven’t felt it in so long
I heard a car crash outside my window
They say the driver’s now a wanted criminal for hit and run
Can’t stop looking at this car crash outside my window
They say the other driver’s now a widow
It’s hit and run
Hit and run
I’m awoken by a car crash outside my window
They say the driver took off on foot, though
It’s hit and run
Hit and run

Wait, you gotta put your life preserver on
Else the waves will drown you just for fun
Wait, you gotta put your life preserver on
We’re getting swept away (Swept away)
By a tidal wave (By a tidal wave)
Waking up on a beach so far away (So far away)
Better watch out for those harmful U.V. rays
They can burn your body from outer space
Drink sunblock from the bottle ‘cus I love the taste
But I’ve got not skin anyway
The sun will shine again on you and I, my friend
But the waves are crashing down and the water’s up to my head
We’re getting swept away by a tidal wave
Waking up on a distant shore, feeling like I’ve been here before
Counting the days so we all can say
We’ll bear witness to the breaking dawn, I feel the heat coming on
Better get used to the taste of lemonade
We bottle and sell ideas in retrograde
Better off sweet than sour with a headache
That’s the attitude, now learn to swim for god sake
No, it’ll never stop, you inhale, exhale, then you drop
No, it’ll never stop, you inhale, exhale, then you drop
Baby, your eyes are bluer than the seven seas
Took me by surprise, now I’m sinking deeper endlessly
Drowning in style, but I’m losing my breath and getting further away from shore
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the ocean floor
We’re getting swept away by a tidal wave
Waking up on a distant shore, feeling like I’ve been here before
Counting the days so we all can say
We’ll bear witness to the breaking dawn, I feel the warmth coming on

I’m here on the ground waiting for you
Let’s go back in time and do what we always said we’d do
I’m here on the ground waiting for you
Let’s go back in time and do what we always said we’d do
I’m here on the ground waiting for you
I'm here on the ground and I'm just waiting for you
'Cus no matter what I say or do I can't change your point of view
Let's agree to disagree, it's nothing new
Have you found your paradise
Your ideal moment in time
It's somewhere deep inside
Don’t you dare blink or think twice
We’ve just gotta hit rewind
We can’t go back this time
But the day never comes
So we’re left wondering
When we’ll see the sun
When we’ll see the sun
Now all of the rain has come and gone
I think that the storm will pass on
But still the clouds grow dark around me
Sinking in a sea made of cities
I'm here on the ground and I'm just waiting for you
'Cus I can't change your point of view
Have you found your paradise
Your ideal moment in time
It's somewhere deep inside
Don’t you dare blink or think twice
We’ve just gotta hit rewind
So let’s just hit rewind
Cus every time that I close my eyes
I wish that I could set things right
So we live under the bright street lights
And in the neon glow we feel at home
While those up high feel so damn low
Future and past collide and collapse
‘Cus time doesn’t matter at all
The metropolis stands, we’re at our wits ends
Waiting for it to fall
Waiting for it to fall
Let’s go back in time and erase it all (erase it all)
Let’s go back in time and erase it all
I’m here on the ground waiting for you
Let’s go back in time and do what we always said we’d do
Let’s go back in time and erase it all
(I’m here on the ground waiting for you)
Let’s go back in time and erase it all
(Let’s go back in time and do what we always said we’d do)
