"Sleep"

I don't feel good
I don't sound good
I don't look good
I wish I was right

I don't feel good
I don't sound good
I don't look good
I wish I was right

I watch you sleep
Away the time
I watch you sleep
Sleep tight

Am I a little liar
Hiding below your bed
Am I a little liar
Wish I was right

Am I a little liar
Laying below your bed
Am I a little liar
Wish I was right

I watch you sleep
Away the time
I watch you sleep
Sleep tight

I watch you sleep away the time
I watch you sleep
Sleep tight

Look at my bricks
My bricks I am laying
Look at my bricks
My bricks I am laying
Down, down, down
You'll fall
Down, down, down
You'll fall
Down, down, down...

"Sheep"

It's time to tell me what you saw
It's time to tell me what you saw

Where are all my little
Little lambs
Fast asleep

Where are all my little
Little lambs
Fast asleep

It's time to tell me what you saw
It's time to tell me what you saw

Did did did did da
Did did da ha
Did did did did da
Did did da ha
Oh, where can they be?
Did did did did da
Did did da ha
Oh, where can they be?

It's time to tell me what you saw
Tell me
It's time to tell me what you saw

Please, mister
If you see them
They're missing
Won't you help them find
Their way
Find their way home
Before
The wolves find them first

"Invisible"

Heal (4X)
I feel that you should know
I have an empty soul
It's a warning
It's a warning
If you lead
If you lead
I will follow
I will follow
What am I?
What am I?
Yes, they are stomping on the switches
Heal (4X)

Take my back roads
Round my fences
To an empty view
If you lead
If you lead
I will follow
I will follow
What am I?
What am I?
Yes, they are stomping on the switches

Climb the ladder
Straight to heaven
Where the creatures dulcify
Gods and devils take their pillows
Get in position
To multiply
Surprise
It’s a warning (3x)

If you lead
If you lead
I will follow
I will follow
If you lead
If you lead
I will follow
I will follow
If you lead
If you lead
I will follow
I will follow
What am I?
What am I?
Yes, they are stomping on the switches

"Wicked"

Exit signs
Burning red
Paying fines
Move ahead
Oh, I am the wicked one
Stringing bells
On your knees
Decorate
So you please
Oh, I am the wicked one
Oh
Oh

Moderate
How it's shown
Never leave
It alone
I am the wicked one
Oh (4x)

Blind, blind
To the fence
Around your mind
Tied, tied
To the gate to be refined
Grind, grind
Paper-thin and very fine
Ride, ride
Through the windshield we all fly
Oh
Oh

"Naked Birthday"

I know it hurts, what you believe:
That everything is just as seems
The walls are cracked, the road is long
And I can't tell if their will is that strong
To force a change in the light to relieve you of strife
To force a change in the heart as it all comes crashing down

You never will see it,
You never will know,
You never will feel it,
But where did you go?

You never will see it,
You never will know,
You never will feel it,
But where did you go?

I see the fear inside their eyes
As they are falling, who will confide?
The ropes are broke, there's no net
And we are waiting for what's coming next
Will they land on their feet, will they simply give in
To the laws of the land, as it all comes crashing down?

You never will see it,
You never will know,
You never will feel it,
But where did you go?

You never will see it,
You never will know,
You never will feel it,
But where did you go?

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

You know you'll always be drifting
You know you'll never be found
A servant, so empty, you'll never make a sound

You know you'll always be drifting
You know you'll never be found
A servant, so empty, you'll never make a sound, and

You never will see it,
You never will know,
You never will feel it,
But where did you go?

You never will see it,
You never will know,
You never will feel it,
But where did you go?

"Anmorata"

These walls were built for you
Your garden's never dry
Anmorata,
Your secrets never die

Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me

Anmorata,
The men all loved you so
Anmorata,
How much you'll never know

Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me

I'll bring you home
And through my eyes you'll see
And then you'll know
What it is like for me

Anmorata,
Take me where I need to be
Anmorata,
Breathe the life into me

Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me

Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me
Feel it feed me

"Therapy"

You don't know how to start
Just look inside your heart
You know I feel confused
I don't know what to choose

You better take a stand
And find out who you are
You better make a plan
'Cause this has gone too far

When we went to the wishing well,
We thought we saw the light

If you
Start, start, start to wake up,
Scream, scream, scream all you want
See, see, see what you've done
Start, start, start to wake up

I don't know what to do
To make it right for you
You tell me I'm no good
I feel misunderstood

I'm sick of taking blame
Playing the same old game

When we went to the wishing well,
We thought we saw the light
But even though we took that trip,
It never came out right

If you
Start, start, start to wake up,
Scream, scream, scream all you want
See, see, see what you've done
Start, start, start to wake up

Now you
Start, start, start to wake up
Scream, scream, scream all you want
See, see, see what you've done
Start, start, start to wake up

Start, start, start to wake up
Scream, scream, scream all you want
See, see, see what you've done
Start, start, start to wake up

Start, start, start to wake up
Scream, scream, scream all you want
See, see, see what you've done
Start, start...
