I don’t know you - you don’t know me That’s the way it’s meant to be I can see you - you’re on TV You’re keeping me company I can see you you can’t see me I’m the one who can’t break free I can see you you can’t see me I’m the one who can’t break free I can watch you endlessly You’re taking all my time from me You’re taking all my time from me I can see you you can’t see me I’m the one who can’t break free I can see you you can’t see me I’m the one who can’t break free

Your boredom is a weapon And your fear is a weapon And your thoughts are a weapon That they planted in your head They’re taking little bits of you with every word that’s said Your fashion is a statement Of another man’s intent It’s a highly tailored way To kick you in the head They’re ripping at the heart of you and pulling at the threads They made you a weapon just waiting to explode And no one wants a weapon that won’t do what it’s told They made you a weapon just waiting to explode And no one wants a weapon that won’t do what it’s told Your despair is a weapon And your faith is a weapon And your hopes are a weapon That allow you to be led They’re creating your reality and feeding on your dread Truth can be a weapon If they can tell you what it is And the world is only here Because you’re here to see it is They made you a weapon just waiting to explode And no one wants a weapon that won’t do what it’s told They made you a weapon just waiting to explode And no one wants a weapon that won’t do what it’s told

Like a weapon made of glass None of us were built to last We’re the fire and forget cast Like a bomb lost in its blast Glass weapons! Glass weapons! Watch them shatter Glass weapons! Glass weapons! Does it matter? Virus spreads till it kills the host We hurt the ones we love the most Can you find the room to grow? Will you reap what you sow? Glass weapons! Glass weapons! Watch them shatter Glass weapons! Glass weapons! Does it matter?

Numbers 02:21
Listen! Listen to the… Numbers! Ticking away like a clock on a bomb Will it explode at the end of this song? Burst like a dream when it all goes wrong and free the… Numbers! Everything is made of numbers Everything and everyone You’re a walking talking zero sum Losing! Losing count of the… Numbers! A static wave washing around my feet A numerical flood filling the streets Seeing numbers in my sleep as the walls dissolve into… Numbers! Everyone is made of numbers Everything and everyone A binary life for the lucky ones I’m the cipher! I’m the cipher! I’m the cipher!

Gaps 01:54
The message is written on the side of a brick On the sole of the boot that delivers the kick The message is there like a verbal tick At the bottom of the glass and the digital click Filling the gaps! We’re filling the gaps! Filling the gaps and we’re springing the traps. The message is written on the side of a brick On the sole of the boot that delivers the kick The message is there like a verbal tick At the bottom of the glass and the digital click Read the words between the lines There at the back of a billion minds The message is there in the cul-de-sac crimes On the Tarmac paths and the motorway signs Filling the gaps! We’re filling the gaps! Filling the gaps and we’re springing the traps. You do the maths!

I don’t want to smile at strangers When I do I see their failings I don’t want to smile at strangers When I do I see their failings I don’t want to smile at strangers When I do they see my failings taste the corpse inside my mouth lick the blades inside my eyes feel a gesture slice like shrapnel glances circle, miss, collide I don’t want to smile at strangers When I do I see their failings I don’t want to smile at strangers When I do I see their failings I don’t want to smile at strangers When I do they see my failings

it’s all choice. and no decision it’s all desire. and no release it's all facts. and no wisdom it’s all start. and no cease it’s all product. without purpose it’s all surface. without heart it’s all faith. without pity it’s all show. without art we are all. idiots now! we are all. idiots now! we are all. idiots now! it’s all views. without knowledge It’s all smiles. without hope it’s all war. without winning we’re all hanging. without rope we are all. idiots now! we are all. idiots now! we are all. idiots now! hey!

Walking round these city streets Painting pictures with my feet Talking to the walls again Graffiti mouthing now and then Walking round these city streets Painting pictures with my feet Talking to the walls again Graffiti mouthing now and then See those stones absorbing sound Bricks are where the words are bound Talk about nothing Talk about fate Stones don’t put on any weight I’m trying to communicate I’m trying to communicate I’m trying to communicate See those stones absorbing sound Bricks are where the words are bound Talk about nothing Talk about fate Stones don’t put on any weight I’m trying to communicate I’m trying to communicate I’m trying to communicate I’m trying to communicate Outro Making a poet out of a machine Chemical canvas captures a dream Painting a portrait of what’s unseen Losing focus to see past the flesh Arresting beauty in life without death Silver nitrate on your breath Julia’s got a camera Looks through the lens Sees who you are Julia’s got a camera Framing a halo the eye cannot see Gaze unblinking on bright energy Immortal the sparks from the wise monkey Julia’s got a camera
