1.Star Machine
You had a chance to go around the world
But you had to be a silver bird
A revelation wouldn't matter much to you
So I heard you bought a lousy dream
You took a number from the star machine
The star machine is spitting numbers all on you
You say it
You say it
You say it
You say it
You leave your family and some friends behind
It wasn't long until you lost your mind
The star machine is doing fine, but how are you？
You told the world you had to fire the band
Your little world has gotten out of hand
The star machine will hand your ass right back to you
You say you want it, you say you need it (You say it)
You say it's everything, never wanna leave it (You say it)
The star machine is coming down on you (You say it)
And you and you and you (You say it)
You say you want it, you say you need it (You say it)
You say it's everything, never wanna be it (You say it)
The star machine is coming down on you oh yeah (You say it)
Now it's getting hot in here
I'm doing everything you want me to
But nothing's ever good enough for you
You sign on right out of here
You say you want it, you say you need it (You say it)
You say it's everything, never wanna leave it (You say it)
The star machine is coming down on you and you and you and you
(You say it)
Who told you sorry, how you were treated (You say it)
You couldn't handle it, and now you're found to be it (You say
it)
Your star machine has taken all away from you and you and you
(You say it)
You say it, and you
You say it
You say it
2.Silver Age
The spring is over, no more golden race
All the ease and the peace has suddenly faded away
I live a century filled with sorrow and sin
There's no rights, no wrong, such a godless state I'm in
Another live saint gonna take my place
You say a cheap prayer to my pretty face, yeah
You better pray for rain, yeah
Never too old to contain my rage
The silver age, the silver age
This is how I'm gonna spend my days
Gonna fight, gonna fuck, gonna feed
Gonna walk away
Stupid little kid wanna hate my game
I don't need a spot in your hall of fame, no
What a fucking game, yo
I'm wiping my face of the shit you say
In the silver age I walk away singing
The silver age is calling out a melody
Breaking me was hard to do
I had to break away from you
But since you found my switch
I've been falling on my face
And now it comes so clear
The love sigh I hear you sing
The silver age is calling out a melody
3.The Descent
I started out so starry-eyed
Full of hope and wonder
And I wore flowers in my hair
Not aware I'd been defiled
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
(How can I believe you？) Karma comes around
I know this ride, you must be there by my side
You going down, I must be descending
I didn't want to play the song
That gave people so much hope
I turned my back and turned away
Here's the rope that made me choke
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
How can I believe you？) Karma comes around
You can see it in my eyes
You can read it on my face
You can hear it as I cry
God, I hope it's not too late
Can I try to make it up to you somehow？
Can I try to make it up to you somehow？
Now my race is finally run
And as I tumble to the Sun
All these dreams I can't achieve
Brought me crashing to my knees
My descent has no begun
All the music left undone
My world, it is descending
4.Briefest Moment
I was a small-town kid with no possessions
And I was bored beyond belief
I couldn't wait to get away from nowhere
I made a plan to finally leave
So I packed my bags and ran away
I needed something more to take away this pain
I found the medicine tucked in your locker
I picked the lock and grabbed the pills
I found a friend and then we went and then we went and then we
went
We swallowed all of them up on the trestle
I heard a melody so pure
I felt an echo that was so familiar
I left my misery behind
If only for the briefest moment of time
You lost your balance as I tried to grab you
And then you slipped right through my hands
I don't remember how I made it out alive
But there you went and here I am
I keep the guilt out on display
It's my memorial to mark that day
If I could fall for you but I cannot undo
The briefest moment of time
5.Steam Of Hercules
We stand and watch the stars
The sky was filled without light
The trains below the aeroplanes go
Shuffling through the night
We made it to the ocean
The cliff at the end of the road
And burning off petroleum
To tug that heavy load
We sail against the storm
From mountains through the seas
The sandy beach collapsing from
The steam of Hercules
6.Fugue State
A trail of fog and vapour
It beads upon the green
Under a cloud of doubt
The rain begins to freeze
I pull apart the trauma
And push against gravity
I'm feeling stuck between these frequencies
When someone tries to calm me
I turn away in fear
The past is shaking my foundation
I sweep the floors each morning
I sweep it underneath
What I'm feeling doesn't seem so clear
Everywhere I go I'm not breathing
And do I know why I'm doing？
Are you in my way？ Why am I bleeding？
Everyone I know is past believing
Everywhere I go, everyone I know
Sweep it every day, sweep it all away
Abandon memory
A lost identity
And moving at a glacial pace
The static scraping sound
Of an intermittent town
Change the channel of this empty space
Everywhere I go I'm not breathing
And do I know why I'm doing？
Everywhere I go, everyone I know
Sweep it every day, sweep it all away
7.Round The City Square
Whisper going round the city square
Rumour grows a tumour in your garden
Anticipation as the rain begins to fall
And pools up at the gutter in your hallway
I didn't want us to end this way
But the love has faded away
Chariot hits the wall
Body language says it all
It's the saddest state so suddenly
The magic disappears
And the clouds that circle round our home
Will suck the colour from our bones
I never get to win at pin-the-donkey-tail
The children's games we played
As grown-ups we have failed
For several years I tried to plead my case
And all the riddles I got back have settled into place
I found a way to get away
You found a place called home
I found the road that took me there
And found you weren't alone
Now I sit here with the things I need
And then I wander aimlessly
I wonder if the whispering is
Going round the city square
And as you boarded with your ticket
You found home was safer than
The place you tried to make your home
Maybe it felt like home, just now and then
Now and then, now and then
I tried to plead my case
It fell on empty ears
For several years, I heard the
Whisper going round the city square
Whisper going round the city square
Whisper going round the city square
I wish that I could silence it, but you weren't there
8.Angels Rearrange
9.Keep Believing
And now the hearts are beating
And all our sadness has been washed away
The drug that keeps me breathing
I stick it in me every day
The needle ／ The sound
This groove it goes around
An anthem keeps repeating
I'm dialing up a song from far away
And you can't get this feeling anywhere but
Here, right here, right now
No choice ／ Can't leave
I have to keep believing
Bring me thoughts and words, pass me the revolver
I can see for miles, and everything's in colour
Rock and roll all night, until I feel the thunder
I got a handle on some complicated fun
We're all sniffing glue, pleasures so unknown
A circle drawn in blue, the murmur baritone
Picnic on a Pedro lawn, heaven took that monkey song
Never mind the battle won, could you be the loveless one？
Always keep believing
Have to keep believing
Never lose that feeling
Have to keep believing
10.First Time Joy
And now the hearts are beating
And all our sadness has been washed away
The drug that keeps me breathing
I stick it in me every day
The needle ／ The sound
This groove it goes around
An anthem keeps repeating
I'm dialing up a song from far away
And you can't get this feeling anywhere but
Here, right here, right now
No choice ／ Can't leave
I have to keep believing
Bring me thoughts and words, pass me the revolver
I can see for miles, and everything's in colour
Rock and roll all night, until I feel the thunder
I got a handle on some complicated fun
We're all sniffing glue, pleasures so unknown
A circle drawn in blue, the murmur baritone
Picnic on a Pedro lawn, heaven took that monkey song
Never mind the battle won, could you be the loveless one？
Always keep believing
Have to keep believing
Never lose that feeling
Have to keep believing
11.The Descent(Live At Ab Brussels)
I started out so starry-eyed
Full of hope and wonder
And I wore flowers in my hair
Not aware I'd been defiled
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
(How can I believe you？) Karma comes around
I know this ride, you must be there by my side
You going down, I must be descending
I didn't want to play the song
That gave people so much hope
I turned my back and turned away
Here's the rope that made me choke
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
How can I believe you？) Karma comes around
You can see it in my eyes
You can read it on my face
You can hear it as I cry
God, I hope it's not too late
Can I try to make it up to you somehow？
Can I try to make it up to you somehow？
Now my race is finally run
And as I tumble to the Sun
All these dreams I can't achieve
Brought me crashing to my knees
My descent has no begun
All the music left undone
My world, it is descending
