I know your compliments aren’t real But I need you And I feed you I know your conscience doesn’t feel While you mistreat me When you bleed me You have to tell me what to feel Cuz I can’t do it On my own anymore When I step out of line you block me Without my phone I’m running back again You wanna go You wanna stay You wanna meet another day You wanna keep me hanging on the phone I don’t wanna be alone You gotta see You gotta hear You gotta face your greatest fear You gotta take my hand and walk with me A little trust and faith and you will see I never read your terms cuz I don’t care You complete me Please don’t delete me Cuz when the pain sets in it’s easy Love like a drug And I need my fix again You have to tell me how to feel Cuz I won’t do it On my own anymore When I step out of time you knock me But you need me So I’ll be back for more You wanna go You wanna stay You wanna meet another day You wanna keep me hanging on the phone I don’t wanna be alone You gotta see You gotta hear You gotta face your greatest fear You gotta take my hand and walk with me A little trust and faith and you will see

Run a run run from me baby I tried to tie you down But No chains gonna stop you running Circles over me... She’s tryin to drive me crazy I never know where she’ll be But every time I think I’m there she slips away from me... cause She’s a moving target She’s a moving target She’s a moving target She’s a moving target Come a come come to me baby Let’s stop this silly game Cause in the end you know you’re gonna Circle back to me So try to make your mind up Let’s cut right to the chase Now only you can stop the pain and break out of this race Cause You’re a moving target You’re A moving target You’re A Moving target You’re A Moving target Cause She’s a moving target She’s a moving target She’s a moving target She’s a moving target

Stateless 05:51
All around the world We are stateless and free All around the world We are stateless and free It's only luck Where you were born No contract signed, No oath was sworn And yet you want to blow your horn And look upon the rest with scorn We're not defined by currency Or our language fluency Don't be fooled by what you see We all share the same biology All around the world We are stateless and free All around the world We are stateless and free We're not confined by geography We live in virtual reality When I look in 23 and Me In my DNA there's no country Your freedom's owned by greedy men It's time you took it back again Be the change you want to see and then You'll be a Global Citizen All around the world We are stateless and free All around the world We are stateless and free One day A new order No passports Or borders One world For All nations replaced by Automation All around the world We are stateless and free All around the world We are stateless and free

Circles 04:07

These towers stand like sentries Silent sentinels Distant lights against the sky Beneath their mask of silence Lies a voice of steel Calling from Television Hill I’m on television I’m on television Put me on television Time passes by so quickly When you learn to stare Never stop to wonder why So take these lights and shadows And cast them in the air From here on Television Hill I’m on television I’m on television Put me on television I’m on television I’m on television Put me on television I’m on television I’m on television Put me on television

Over and over How do we end up here Crying Over and over How do we end up here All the emptiness That hangs around you I never want to hurt you We share the same space But no one lives here Over and over How do we end up here Crying Over and over How do we end up here All our broken dreams And good intentions We never found the answer We share the same pain But no one ends it Over and over How do we end up here Crying Over and over How do we end up here Over and over How do we end up here Crying Over and over How do we end up here Over and over How do we end up here Lying Over and over How do we end up here Over and over How do we end up here Crying Over and over How do we end up here Dying

Hallo Bandoeng This is Empire A million watts of love from around the world No wires bind us  Only magic Time zones and oceans can never keep us apart Hallo Empire This is Bandoeng The world’s changing and I need my space I let you own me For far too long So now the time has come to say goodbye Hallo Bandoeng Do you hear me? After all I’ve done for you you can’t just walk away Hallo Bandoeng This is Empire Come in Bandoeng This is Empire Hallo Bandoeng This is Empire Come in Bandoeng This is Empire Hallo Bandoeng This is Empire Come in Bandoeng This is Empire Hallo Bandoeng This is Empire Come in Bandoeng...

The Jungle 05:06
In the Garden Behind the Roses Lies a Doorway to your Heart Beyond the Doorway In The Hall of Turbines I hear a giant Motor start I hear a giant Motor start Ha ha into the Jungle! The sign says "Danger: Do Not Enter" Which makes the Invitation clear The air is filled with A nervous tension What is that taunting Voice I hear? What is that taunting Voice I hear? Ha ha into the Jungle! Very slightly The smell of fuel oil Lingers in the evening air Beyond the veil of This vast illusion Was there really something there? Was there really something there? Ha ha into the Jungle! Ha ha into the Jungle!

There’s light on the rooftops There’s light in our hearts And ever so gently It pulls us apart Ever so gently It pulls us apart We’ve crushed all our temples Beneath our desires Now all that’s above us Are the high tension wires All that’s above us Are the high tension wires And out of the factories Shines the light of the world Out of the factories Shines the light of the world You’re drifting away now You’re out of my reach The sound of the engines Drowns out your speech The sound of the engines Drowns out your speech There’s nothing to see here There’s nothing to learn We won’t even be here To watch it all burn We won’t even be here To watch it all burn And out of the factories Shines the light of the world Out of the factories Pours the light of the world Out of the factories Shines the light of the world Out of the factories Pours the light of the world

Wall of Fire 06:14
All around this city  there’s a wall of fire  Come on take my hand  before the flames get higher  This chance we have  ain't gonna last forever  If we die tonight  we're gonna die together  Come with me  There’s no turning back  It’s our only chance And we’ll finally be free  I know it’s hard  After all we’ve built  Let’s get out of here  Before this place burns to the ground All around this city  there’s a wall of fire  C’mon take my hand  before the flames go higher    Our chance to leave  ain't gonna last forever  If we fly tonight  we're gonna fly together  Look at me  It's gonna be alright  We’ve got each other  I'm not leaving you behind  Now, Grab your things  we are out of time  You gotta run with me  Like you’ve never run before  All around this city  there’s a wall of fire  Come on take my hand  before the flames go higher  This one chance we have  ain't gonna last forever  If we run tonight  we're gonna run together    All around the planet  there’s a ring of fire  Come on take my hand  before the flames burn higher  It’s our only chance for us to be together If we live tonight,  we're gonna live forever

Miss 4Chan 05:13
A troll war An open sore America gets what it asks for No defense Without evidence Fear has drowned out all your common sense A little blue bird screaming in your ear now Your phone has become your anchorman Read the feed and go back to sleep now, I see you’ve met Miss 4Chan If puppets are running the puppets, then who is running them? It’s puppets all the way down ma’am, It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down Denial The boldest libel Gaslighted out of a trial No rape kit They’re all fakin’ it The truth is whatever I make it Tiktok, time is running out now The new generation has a different plan A million Korean boy-band stans Are flirting with Miss 4Chan If puppets are running the puppets, then who is running them? It’s puppets all the way down man, It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down It’s puppets all the way down …

When it all has been said and done We can never say "we should have won..." When the walls are closing in I can never say "I coulda been..." No regrets The day ain't over yet But one chance is all we get So dream The impossible dream Cuz Everything Is closer than it seems Hey Why don't you stay Let's make the most of what Are the remains of the day Now the road not taken Is dead and gone And all that matters Is the road we're on So dry your eyes The best is yet to come You are not where you're from So dry your eyes... And let's dream Our impossible dreams Cuz everyone dreams similar dreams Hey why won't you stay And let's make the most of what Are the remains of the day So dream Your impossible dreams Cuz everything is nearer than it seems Hey just do it your own way And let's make the most of what Are the remains of the day Let's dream Our impossible dreams Cuz everyone is dreaming similar dreams Hey why can't you stay And let's make the most of what Are the remains of the day
