All this living is so worth dying for So come with me I can make you feel alive If you are hearing this You are in paradise A monster in paradise It’s just for the score You are the thing that makes me feel alive Covered in gasoline Heat haze obscurity Glamorous to the bone Everybody get down Ghost of the sky Shut up and fly Something for the weekend Stay on the run Let’s get the damage done We move something like this Killing it is easy now Watch our faith get twisted round Ghost of the sky Never say die Save it for the weekend Till the blood runs cold It’s always about the damn girl A monster in paradise It’s hell to the core But all this living is so worth dying for A dark dissent has begun Pleasure pain continuum Beautiful freak just get your foot down tonight Ghost of the sky Shut up and fly Something for the weekend Stay on the run Let’s get the damage done We move something like this Killing it is easy now Watch our faith get twisted round Ghost of the sky Never say die Save it for the weekend Till the blood runs cold It’s always about the damn girl It’s better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven Surrounded now but no surrender The odds against the betting man Far beyond but I still believe Spin the wheel and light the tires Take me back towards the fire I’ve never seen as clear as this We ride tonight to the abyss Ghost of the sky Shut up and fly Something for the weekend Stay on the run Let’s get the damage done We move something like this Killing it is easy now Watch our faith get twisted round Ghost of the sky Never say die Save it for the weekend Till the blood runs cold It’s always about the damn girl

Rachael keep on running That deep dark secret will keep on coming for you Shot through my knees Welcome to the party It’s one hell of a scene Smoke and coke and body steam I am dying for you Just really wanna get blown away You’re dangerous like they said You taste like venom, taste like venom Now I can’t feel my face I can’t feel it Senses on fire Physical attraction White hot desire Sinister deception A cult paradise Everybody wants to look just like you Dark times arise I will always love you I am dying for you Just really wanna get blown away You’re dangerous like they said You taste like venom, taste like venom Now I can’t feel my face I can’t feel it You taste like venom, taste like venom (Feel it) You’re dangerous like they said The streets are alive Everybody's searching for you This dark heart of mine Is dead whatever I do Thirty three or forty five Cold sweat, in a fluid motion One step and shut your eyes I just really wanna get blown away (Lie still) You’re dangerous like they said (Lie still) You taste like venom, taste like venom And I can’t feel my face I can’t feel it

When she falls hard She falls hard And her eyes Fill up with stars, fill up with stars But it’s a false start A call card What’s a race Without a car, without a fast car Running your stats while you form an opinion Power levelling through a rift in the algorithm All you thought i wanted was some love and affection But pull the blinds back and i’ll show you the system I can’t be killed with conventional weaponry Now you’re trying with emotional surgery I hear you call with a sense of emergency Everyone dies but me, I’m sorry Cause you know I got all night Please wake me up I wanna touch it’s pure corruption I can’t get enough I’m gonna give you satisfaction X, follow X With a cross to your chest Like the beat of a heart When you got nothing left Do you know who you are Do you talk to the stars If the cake is a lie I’ll be there in the dark Running your stats while you form an opinion Power levelling through a rift in the algorithm All you thought i wanted was some love and affection But pull the blinds back and I’ll show you the system I can’t be killed with conventional weaponry Now you’re trying with emotional surgery I hear you call with a sense of emergency Everyone dies but me, I’m sorry I’m sorry, I’m taking you with me Are you with me Cause you know i got all night Please wake me up I wanna touch it’s pure corruption I can’t get enough I’m gonna give you satisfaction PC PVZ? Ha! PVP me If you got the PEP now We can’t be killed with conventional weaponry Now you’re trying with emotional surgery I hear you call with a sense of emergency Everyone dies but me I’m sorry We’ll go till the morning light Please wake me up I wanna touch it’s pure corruption I can’t get enough I’m gonna give you satisfaction

I’m recording this because the survivors no longer envy the dead The final war is over It’s architects forever entombed in melted glass and steel I watched the efforts of our species dance away on the radioactive wind Civilisation retreated by millennia All of human history wrought to dust Our cities, now scorched black mausoleums Serve as a reminder There can be no victory in war Birth is the answer to the question of our mortality With resolute defiance We choose to grasp at the delicate thread of life My son the gift of survival is yours Please, may you never submit There will be more This is it, we are on our own The air is clear Welcome home We’re headed straight for oblivion But we’re gonna make it Whatever it takes I just wanna be with you Lost love and revelations Heavy rain diffuse the sun Look up and wash it all away We all know how this ends Up above the skylines Drifting in and out around us But I know, I know, I know you’re here Can we rebuild everything I can see the angel dust It’s raining down upon us So I know, I know, I know we’ll be safe We can rise through the fire Our road’s paved in crushed up skulls Ride with me to the end of the world We’re headed straight for oblivion Just keep it lit, here we go again And we’ll fly right through I just wanna be with you Lost love and revelations Heavy rain diffuse the sun Look up and wash it all away We all know how this ends Up above the skylines Drifting in and out around us But I know, I know, I know you’re here Can we rebuild everything I can see the angel dust It’s raining down upon us So I know, I know, I know we’ll be safe We can rise through the fire There’s a void in my head There’s no where I can hide There’s a shiver in her breath As she slowly closes the other eye Time stood still We danced on broken glass Yeah I’m afraid of nothing when I’m with you All hell can’t stop us if we stay together Let’s live then die Then live like this forever We all know how this ends Up above the skylines Drifting in and out around us But I know, I know, I know you’re here Can we rebuild everything I can see the angel dust It’s raining down upon us So I know, I know, I know we’ll be safe We can rise through the fire

Throw your gun in the back of my car Straighten this lipstick, pull my sunglasses on Cold, cold holographic heart You’re all lit up by the setting sun The queen of the night That girl from Miami Cold, cold holographic heart Through the smoke of the club We're silhouettes up against the wall Another drink, let's get out of here Holographic heart Holographic heart You got my soul wrapped up Shock baby restart Holographic heart Holographic heart One love, one life left Back to the start The closer you get, closer to me That kiss in the dark That cosmopolitan dream Cold, cold holographic heart Bite down harder into me A ghost in the wire That girl from Miami True romance Let’s fight right here Holographic heart Holographic heart You got my soul wrapped up Shock, baby restart Holographic heart Holographic heart One love, one life left Back to the start Lie down Close your eyes Deep breath We have become Darkness falls Lie down She is back The hunted has become the hunter Cold blood Holographic heart You got my soul wrapped up Crush, baby restart Holographic heart Holographic heart You got my soul wrapped up Shock, baby restart Holographic heart Holographic heart Ice cold black soul Till death do us part

We dream of contact when we fall asleep Getting acquainted on repeat Optics run monochrome when it starts to get deep Volatile neurons in ultra high frequency You’re so delicious Distorting my DNA Veins pumping with gasoline You’re sliding my feet away Nuclear date night (So visceral) Where do we find it (Synthesised) Our hero youth Dream together, we die together Break the fixation on reality There’s a killer in you but no victim in me Queen of the town, King of the street Sleep when you’re dead Come in through this door with me You’re so delicious Destabilise gravity Turning heads and breaking necks That optimised symmetry Nuclear date night (So visceral) Where do we find it (Synthesised) Our hero youth Dream together, we die together Alcohol and dopamine the cocktail forever Body heat and sanity under pressure Metabolise, fantasise The medium of exchange This is the point of no return now We are at the centre of the hurricane Are you a fuckin’ legend yet? Night time is the right time for love We’ll party till we die Chemical I just can’t get enough We’ll party till we die Night time is the right time for love We’ll party till we die Systematic attack of the heart from above We’ll party till we die Nuclear date night (So visceral) Where do we find it (Synthesised) Our hero youth Dream together, we die together

How about a little taste of what's in sight How about a little fun before we die Get lost It’s somebody else’s turn to fight There’s nobody else like you Don’t cry ‘cause it’s over, smile because it was I remember you swimming in the shadows and dancing in the rain Run like hell This is the night of the hunter Deliriously pull the trigger, fire Run like hell You got the shot away, thunder I never thought it would end like this You are my escape artist How about these dead hands around my neck How about this girl stuck in my head Let’s get lost together On the road where our blood is soaked into There’s nobody else like you Don’t cry ‘cause it’s over, smile because it was I remember you swimming in the shadows and dancing in the rain Run like hell This is the night of the hunter Deliriously pull the trigger, fire Run like hell You got the shot away, thunder I never thought it would end like this You are my escape artist Don’t cry because it's over Just smile because it was Don’t cry because it's over Just smile because it was Don’t cry because it's over Just smile because it was Don’t cry because it's over Just smile because it was You are magical The light in my head You are magical Until the death

Lost Shadow 04:50
That fairground ride, that perfect light, hey spin us faster kid What a day that was I lost my shadow Leagues above this town I will meet you there someday Future set, a beautiful subject The sweet smell after rain What I’d give for that to stay Soft dawn, pull the curtains wide Failure by design, something tears cannot revive Memories, I will miss everything Take me back to the storm of yesterday Lost in the night, nowhere to hide You whisper to me I don’t care, I don't care, I don’t care, I don’t care Lucid silhouettes of vapour Time slip, impact, shoot over Head back, I’m leaving it all for you The pain was so much more than anybody said What a day that was, I lost my shadow The cruel but gracious final drag of the tide Girl keep my seat warm up on the other side Take me back to the storm of yesterday Lost in the night, nowhere to hide You whisper to me I don’t care, I don't care, I don’t care, I don’t care Lucid silhouettes of vapour Time slip, impact, shoot over Head back, I’m leaving it all for you When will I see you again Redshift, the stars start to swim in time Relative gestures Let it rain down, let it rain down forever We were learning to fly Guided by reflections and echoes When hope looked like this Take me back to the storm of yesterday Lost in the night, nowhere to hide You whisper to me I don’t care, I don't care, I don’t care, I don’t care Lucid silhouettes of vapour Time slip, impact, shoot over Head back, I’m leaving it all for you

Get out of the room I can’t sleep because the bed’s too big for just me I chew some more on the straw of the milkshake flavoured by reverie Eyes on the sky Searching for heaven I think i’ve found it It is the memory of when we’re together Can I hold you again, I forget what it’s like (Never let go, never again let go) Yeah the marks on my cheeks, I cannot lie I've been crying (You were never alone, you were never alone) I keep my heart warm by the motel fire (It feels like home, it feels like home) But it’s something I just love It is just so America I think I’ve taken this a little too far but it’s something I had to see Scribed in blood and full of holes, here’s the postcard from a dream Can I be in your head Can I be in your head Eyes on the sky Searching for heaven I think i’ve found it It is the memory of when we’re together Can I hold you again, I forget what it’s like (Never let go, never again let go) Yeah the marks on my cheeks, I cannot lie I've been crying (You were never alone, you were never alone) I keep my heart warm by the motel fire (It feels like home, it feels like home) But it’s something I just love It is just so America Love creates the illusion That we are not alone Who’s gonna save us now (Who’s gonna save us) Who’s gonna save us now (Who’s gonna save us now) Head down and bow to you Head down and cry it’s true Who’s gonna save us (Who’s gonna save us) We’re gonna save ourselves
