You’re more than innocent, it’s plain to see; but I can’t be sorry for this one. But karma has got you on your knees and I’m; sick of saying please, so for the last time; will you come back around; and say that we’ve been chasing tales? And I know what to say, so just hear me out... CHORUS So Jump if you like, but I won’t be there to catch you, no I’m not here to save you. But if you’ve come to fight, then I’ll stand and fight your battles, but this building’s not the answer for us now. The game is over now, but you must be proud; to have stolen all the attention. But I’m standing here, at best, saving you and that’s what I have to do. So for the last time, will you come back around? CHORUS And I see you change, still I stay the same; and I’m hoping that you’ll wake me up and say you’ve come back round. And I see you change, still I stay the same; and I’m hoping that you’ll find my peace in something that you say. Cos all of the darkness and all of the distress, seems to follow you and I can’t stop now. CHORUS

You never thought that it would ever come to this, her heart is racing and she only aims to miss; and she’s the head of a conflict and she’s not so bright but she knows what isn’t true. Now she’s just one in a line of hand-me-downs. So if you play your cards right, this will be your nightmare. So take that look off your face! CHORUS Turn Up The Heat because you’re never gonna stop it, get out the room now before you make a big mistake. No, no, no, no it’s never worth it if it’s already over I’m coming to get you, coming to make you pay. But it’s not my place. The time has come and now she’s feeling underdressed; “The sky’s the limit but don’t say a word” he says. And she’s the start of an empire, and he’s full of it but she knows she can’t stop now. And now she’s just one in a line of lost and founds. So if you say the words right, this will be a nightmare. So take that look off your face! CHORUS And I’ll think twice before letting you down, come in when you say [NO NO NO] “no it isn’t safe, but I’ll be listening on the airwaves anyway” Because we’re treading on thin ice again, so I’m counting the seconds.

You come and tell me that you’ve had enough. You think it’s easy well I find it just as tough, with the lipstick marks you leave behind; how am I to forget you? The scent of closure now it’s just too much. Cuts like a knife edge but you just won’t budge. I see the way you look into my eyes, I know I’ve been here before... CHORUS The smoke has cleared, I’ve never seen this kind of destruction. The world you left behind, is just a memory to the safe. This is like a sea without the breeze, an open air delusion. To think that this is how it goes... You sit around acting like you’ve opened up, you’re still the same, you’re still the same. Turning on the charm again! CHORUS All I know is this, but you just made it hard to breathe, sometimes you... Hold it all inside, to the world you’re just so happy, to me you never tried. Tell me how am I supposed to see the world the same when I’ve got so much on my back? It’s weighing me down and it’s making me sick and you know I just can’t see this place; cos you know that the safe is not so safe.

The lies you tell to see this through for all the cards you dealt, and she sells herself for nothing short of foolish now. And they come undone as the hand that feeds them fades for this second once. Now you call me a stranger? PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS But for everything that’s aimed at you, this is a chance to take control of what we all set out to prove. So rally the masses, wake and we’ll overthrow. So run cos they will take you too. HEY! So what do you say? Not ever forgive this a chance to end all of those things you do. HEY YOU! [HEY YOU!] So what do you say? And they’re falling by the dozen. So take a look... So rid yourself of all those who try to hold you down, and I’ll tell myself “I think I’m on to something now’. And they come undone, as the hand that feeds them fades for this second once. And you call me a stranger? PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS Demons, demons inside your head, picking the flaws of your design. Defend, defend what you’ve got left; telling yourself that you’re so great. Fall in, fall in to your head; so give it up because you know there’s nothing left to say. CHORUS

The perfect sacrifice is never worth your trust, and if the king's on his throne, (if the king’s on his throne), I wouldn't be surprised if they've already drawn your ending piece by piece. (Well I'm not so) Well I'm not so sure you'll see things my way Burn. Ache. Love. Hate. Wish. Hope. Faith. Who the hell are you to tell us that we're not safe? I'm plagued with paranoia for everyday. They say the voice of God's not more than delusion; then who can help me? Then who can help me? To say... CHORUS Slow down a second, cos I’m having trouble keeping up. I see you don't worry, (but thats just what) I expect. And if it's so hard then why don't you give in and point the blame at someone else cos you do no wrong. The perfect alibi is only perfect once, but if you don't know (if you don't know) if you don't know the score by now I think this plane is going down. (But I'm not so) But I'm not so sure you'll see things my way. Burn. Ache. Love. Hate. Wish. Hope. Faith. Who the hell are you to tell us that we're not safe? I'm plagued with paranoia for everyday. They say the voice of God's not more than a symptom; then who can help me? Then who can help me? To say... CHORUS You’ve just become; Another liar. To hold me down. And fight.

You think you’re so naive well, well you’re not afraid to beg and cheat and steal and make your own way. And I bet you don’t look twice when he’s taking the blame. So you don’t look twice, he’s not that nice and you’re on your way... But I know I look at you stare, but I know I look at you stare away. CHORUS So for God’s sake, pull yourself together she’s not listening to you anymore. And she don’t say, and she don’t wait for anything. You do your best to argue but you just can’t win. And now he’s selling you friendship to buy your trust; the scene sing “Sin”. To take this chance you must understand, I ain’t messing around when I’m telling you; boys will be boys but you’re not listening anyway. But I know I look at you stare, but I know I look at you stare away. And they say that the best is what you make it, but I’m a fool in spite of you, and I’m not inclined to feel the same way too. But if fate would make an offer, then I’ll ignore the reasons why but you must remember to hold tight and take my advice... This storm is breaking us down, but I won’t turn around and say; CHORUS
