Add Violence (digital)
1. Less Than
Focus?
We didn't even notice
We awake in a place
We can barely recognize, yeah
Hypnosis
And you can justify it all
Your back is up against the wall again
Shut up, silence
Add a little violence
And offend and pretend
And defend and demand my compliance
And you can always justify
The missile trails across the sky again
So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than?
Go and look what you gone done
Welcome oblivion
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than?
Needful
Too many fucking people
You'll have to take care of yourselves
You know I've got my hands full
And you can always justify
The missile trails across the sky again
So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than?
And look what you gone done
Come on welcome oblivion
Did it fix what was wrong inside?
Are you less than?
So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than? (Are you less than? Less than?)
And look what you gone done
Well, welcome oblivion
Did it fix what was wrong inside?
Are you less than?
2. The Lovers
(I can hear you breathing)
I've slipped out of time again
Leaving all of you behind
And I'm free
To return to the place where I already am
And have always been
If I just really looked and allowed myself
To see
Coliseum calling with its night that could last forever
Breathing moments
The confusion is seducing me warm perfect flowing
Wide his eyes
Summer
Hypnotize they see inside of me
Hot swollen skin want me take me perfect embrace
Black and bloody
Rotten and perfect
The center has moved on and all that's left is free
Finally
Finally
Everyone seems to be asleep but me
Into the arms of the lovers
You can take me
Take me
Take all that's left
I am free
Finally
Combined and perfect
Finally
Oh I see you floating there
How could I ever hope to forget
Always rearranging
These words are a lie a mirror reflecting in a mirror of a lie
A light shines still always
Shadows in every word
Beneath black eaves
Please don't leave me here
I could stop it
Maybe I could stop it (if I wanted to)
But I'm not the one driving anymore
I know who I am
But I know who I am
Right?
Into the arms of the lovers
You can take me
Take me
Take all that's left
I am free
Finally
Combined and perfect
Finally
3. This Isn't the Place
And if you see my friend
I thought I would again
A single thin straight line
I thought we had more time
I thought we had more time
I thought we had more...
I thought we had...
I thought we had...
4. Not Anymore
Surprise
I must have let it get in
Started to turn into somebody else
Yeah I found myself believing
Time
My feet are nailed to the floor
I always thought we would get there somehow
I always thought there'd be
More
Well not anymore
Well not anymore
Well not anymore
Mouth taped shut
Crippled and frozen with fear
That maybe happens to somebody else
No that doesn't happen round here
I won't forget I know who I am
No matter what I know who I am
And what I'm doing this for
Well not anymore
Well not anymore
Well not anymore
And I can't seem to wake up
5. The Background World
You left me here
What am I supposed to do?
I never dared to look inside
Just like you told me to
I'm going into you again
I know you saw it too
Now I'll keep myself awake
I know what's coming
I feel it reaching through
There is no moving past
There is no better place
There is no future point in time
We will not get away
The world is bleeding out
It folds itself in two
Behind the background world
Is always bleeding through
Are you sure?
This is what you want?
[repeat]
Hard as you try not to see it
[repeat]
