LYRICS

(This page contains lyrics for the following songs: Satellite Life, Hypnotoxic, Glass and Flood.)

 

Satellite Life

Break your skin on the bathroom floor

Smash your body against the wall

You know there's nothing for you here anymore

All alone in an empty world

 

But when they come they won't be able to track me down

I bleed internally, there won't be traces above the ground

A flooded heart in a satellite life

 

Tender glass on the kitchen floor

Rest your head, it won't hurt anymore

One more goodbye, one more dead-end trek

One last word from an orbiting wreck

 

But when they come they won't be able to track me down

I bleed internally, there won't be traces above the ground

A flooded heart in a satellite life

 

All this pain, all these open veins

All this love

Comes to nothing at all

Hypnotoxic

Wake up and make up your mind

Are you a boy or a girl

Slicing the darkness on your bike

You're all alone in this world

You're not a child anymore

Your body grows under you

 

Sleepwalking in your dreams

Intoxicated and sad

The things you cannot see

Will never make you afraid

Put yourself on medicine

And never get out of bed

 

You talk but never say enough

Bury your words muscle deep

Thought is a chronic disease

It makes you cry in your sleep

Are you a girl or a boy

It's so hard to grow up

 

Sleepwalking in your dreams

Intoxicated and sad

The things you cannot see

Will never make you afraid

Put yourself on medicine

And never get out of bed

Glass

In the second year he'd had enough and left

The blueprints in his head were in a terrible mess

“I was so muddled up, my brain was in a haze

I would forget myself for entire days”

 

When he moved away he left himself behind

Shades of mental blocks darkening his mind

“I'm not much good at living in the past

You can see for miles through steel and glass”

 

So he built a house, helium-light

An empty cell, going up up up

“In the windowpane of a crystal sea

The old big ships are waiting for me”

 

As if the world went on forever, down down down down

Trying to remember, down down down down

Flood

Flood me with rays

I will try to forget her

Spreading desire

Cancerous love

How you let go

How you open defenceless

And overflow

Tumourous heart

 

Cut it all out

Extricate it and sever

Rampant desire

Running inside

Flood me with waves

Of a cruel radiation

Opening cells

Out of my mind

 

Then she said

Wouldn't you be more comfortable in my bed

Nettled nerves, sudden surge

I'm so drawn to you I don't know where to put myself

 

Flood me with rays

I don't want to forget her

Dormant desire

Coming alive

How to let go

How to open defenceless

Feeling the pull

Dangerous charge

 

Then she said

Wouldn't you be more comfortable in my bed

Nettled nerves, sudden surge

I'm so drawn to you I don't know where to put myself

Cut it out, cut it out

Put it away where it can't hurt

Let it stay, let it ache

What you kill won't come back
