You Can't See Me

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

Truth About Weapons
02:30
|
|||
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

Glass Weapons
03:16
|

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!

Smiling At Strangers
02:02
|

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!

Stones Absorbing Sound
04:26

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
