Synthetica lyrics

[Mitholas]

Artificial Nocturne

I’m just as fucked up as they say
I can’t fake the daytime
I found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun
It’s an artificial nocturne
It’s an outsider’s escape for a broke heart

We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger’s dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever

I make all that I believe
In dreams so real

Babe, I have to take the call
Fate don’t fail me now
I make all that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be…

I’m as fucked up as they say
I can’t fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun
It’s an artificial nocturne
An outsider’s escape from a broken home

I’m as far gone as they say
I can’t fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun
It’s an artificial nocturne
An outsider’s escape from a broken home

Youth Without Youth

Hangman
We played rubber soul
With the razor blade
Behind the church
Hiding place
It was a long joke
Til the punchline came

Can you read my mind?
Read my mind?
Follow along to the end of this song

Hangman
We played double Dutch
With the handgrenade
Behind the church
Hiding place
Apathetic
To the double space
Wear the sherrif’s badge
Put your toys away
They let us go saying “let us pray”

(Youth without youth
Youth without youth
Youth without youth
Youth without youth)

Hangman
We played hide and seek
On the fire escape
Through the smoke
We saw the flame
It was a long week
Til the firetruck came

On the count of three
Jump with me
On the count of three

One
Two

One
Two
Three
Go!

(Youth without youth
Youth without youth)

Go go go go!

Ooh

(Youth without youth
Youth without youth)

Go go go go!

Hangman
We played blindman’s bluff
With the ninth brigade
Throw the brick
Through the window pane
Double Dutch
Til they stopped the game
Til the cops show up
Handcuffs donned
They let us go
When we lost one

Hangman
We played
Blindman’s bluff
Til they stopped the game
Youth without youth
Born without time
Youth without youth
Can you read my mind?

(Youth without youth
Youth without youth)

My my my mind

My my my mind

(Youth without youth
Youth without youth)

Speed the Collapse

All the way from where we came
We built a mansion in a day
Distant lightning, thunderclaps
Watched our neighbor’s house collapse
Looked the other way

And when the storm was overhead
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
We auctioned off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains

Pushed away and pulled towards
A comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
A wave presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors

Fate don’t fail me now

And when the days that followed passed
In another mansion built to last
From our window we could see
Only possibilities
Down the road and back

But then the storm returned for more
In a comedown of revolving doors
Auction off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains

Pushed away and pulled towards
A comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
A wave presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors

Fate don’t fail me now

Fate don’t fail me now

Fate don’t fail me now

Fate don’t fail me now
------------------------------------------

Breathing Underwater

I’m the blade, you’re a knife
I’m the weight, you’re the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place all the time
In a world that wasn’t mine to take

I’ll wait

Is this my life?
Oh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Oh
Am I breathing underwater?

I’m a blade, you’re the knife
I’m a weight, you’re the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bowed at their feet
In the end it wasn’t me

Is this my life?
Oh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Oh
Am I breathing underwater?

Nights are days
We beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
Oh
But it hasn’t happened yet
I can see the end
Oh
But it hasn’t happened yet

Is this my life?
Oh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Oh
Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?
-------------------------------------------

Dreams So Real

When I get
To the bottom of it, I sink
Seems like nothing I said
Ever meant anything
But a headline over my head

Thought I made a stand
Only made a scene
There’s no feast for the underfed
All the unknown dying or dead
Keep showing up in my dreams
They stand at the end of my bed

Have I ever really helped
Anybody but myself
To believe in the power of songs?
To believe in the power of girls?
Though the point we’re making is gone

Play it stripped down to my thong
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn

Our parents, daughters and sons
Believed in the power of songs
What if those days are gone?

My memory is strong
Anyone not dying is dead
Baby it won’t be long
So shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I’ll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn

Baby, wherever you are
Baby, whatever you do
Faster than you think
Time staggers on
------------------------------------------
Lost Kitten

Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep, swallowed all the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no

Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in the street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high heeled shoes

No more hot-headed Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing, you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you

You've got my eyes
You've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
Ah
But you've got my eyes

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

I'm so pent up I was coming on to you
Happy in the night time, howling at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you I hold on to

You've got my eyes
You've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
Ah
But you've got my eyes

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you're blind I cover it up
When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

(They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away)

The Void

All night
Like a child, I stayed up to prove I can keep up

All night
Like a fool, I stayed up to prove I can keep up with you

All night
No plan, life is grand while you're still in the void
All night
Sing along with the band while you're losing your voice
All night
No plan, life is grand while you're pulling my chains
All night
Sing along with the band while you're still in the void

What can I say?
I stay up to prove I can keep up
I stay up to prove I can keep up with you

All night
No plan, life is grand while you're still in the void
All night
Sing along with the band while you're losing your voice
All night
No plan, life is grand while you're pulling my chains
All night
Sing along with the band while you're still in the void

All night
All night

What can I say?
I stay up to prove I can keep up with you

All night
No plan, life is grand while you're still in the void
All night
Sing along with the band while you're losing your voice
All night
No plan, life is grand while you're pulling my chains
All night
Sing along with the band while you're still in the void

All night
Sing along ith the band while you're still in the void

Synthetica

Some of us are wild ones
Ever under "wanted", I believe

Lining up in the background
Waiting for the crowd shot to be seen

In the shadow of the big screen
Everybody begs to be redeemed

Hey, I'm not Synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got

We were never meant to crawl in for the bait
We never will

I can think for myself
I've got something no pill could ever kill

Hey, I'm not Synthetica
Oh
I'll keep the life that I've got
Oh
So hard, hard to resist
Synthetica
Oh
No drug is stronger than me
Synthetica

We're all the time confined to fit the mould
But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul

Ah ah ah ah

Hey, I'm not Synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
------------------------------------------------------------
Clone

Call me out
My regret only makes me stronger yet

Nothing I've ever done right
Happened on the safe side
It's the other way
I'm missing everyone unknown now

It's too late in the day
Too late in the day
To take you on all the rides
I was afraid to tell you that

Back to the photograph
Can you clone me?
I look like everyone you know now

It's too late in the day
Too late in the day
To turn it around and change my mind
It's too late in the day
To take you on all the rides

It's too late in the day
To tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath

Call me out
My regret only makes me stronger yet

It's too late in the day
Too late in the day
To turn it around and change my mind
It's too late in the day
To take you on all the rides

It's too late in the day
To tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath

Nothing But Time

Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed
Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed

Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed
Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed

You always said that love was not enough
Always on the move

Advice to heed

And even though we long to shut it up
We could never choose

Advice to heed

Now we know there's nothing awaiting us
Better than the truth

Advice to heed

I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time
So the future is mine
(Advice to heed)

I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time
So the future is mine
(Advice to heed)

I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time
So the future is mine

Bring on the corrections! I'll do the rest later, unless someone beats me to it!

Edited to incorporate suggested changes!

[Wyder]

These are what I heard.

I’m just as fucked up as they say
I can’t face the daytime
I found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun
It’s an artificial nocturne
It’s an outsider’s escape for a broke heart

We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger’s dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever

I make all that I believe
In dreams so real

Babe, I have to take the call
Fate don’t fail me now
I make all that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be…

I’m as fucked up as they say
I can’t fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun
It’s an artificial nocturne
An outsider’s escape from a broken heart

I’m as far gone as they say
I can’t fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun
It’s an artificial nocturne
An outsider’s escape from a broken home

Breathing Underwater

I’m the blade, you’re a knife
I’m the weight, you’re the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place all the time
In a world that wasn’t mine to take;
I’ll wait

Is this my life?
Ahhhhhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Ahhhhhh
Am I breathing underwater?

I’m a blade, you’re the knife
I’m a weight, you’re the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bowed at their feet
In the end it wasn’t me

Is this my life?
Ahhhhhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Ahhhhhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Nights are days
We beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
Ahhh
But it hasn’t happened yet
I can see the end
Ahhh
But it hasn’t happened yet

Is this my life?
Ahhhhhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Ahhhhhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?

[GERARDAMO]

Uh, guys, it's obviously I'm the wind, you're a kite. How would the other things even make sense?

[Mitholas]

[Mitholas]

[johnonymous]

[GERARDAMO]

HEY GUYS CAN WE STOP TRYING TO COMPARE EVERYTHING TO EVERYTHING?

Soft synth-based song =/= Deserving comparison to He Dreams He's Awake.

FUCKING STOOOOOOOOOP.

[bluelight]

Calm down Gerard, you don't have to agree with everything everyone has to say.

WHOA, i completely missed that "played stripped down to my thong" line till reading the lyrics now. my god.

[onthesly-girl]

Gonna take a stab at Lost Kitten..

Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep, swallow that blow
Leaving without you, can't say no

Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in a (the?) street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high heeled shoes

No more heart something something days
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing, you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you

You've got my eyes you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you've got my eyes

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

So pent up I was coming home to you
Happy in the night time, howl at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
Something about you I hold on to

You've got my eyes (x2)
You'll never be mine
But you've got my eyes

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you blind? I cover it up
When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

They got it, they want it, they give it away (x4)

and then the two things overlap and stuff

[Wyder]

Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep, swallowed all the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no

Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in the street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk; high heeled shoes

No more hot-headed Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing, you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you

You've got my eyes; you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you've got my eyes

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

I'm so pent up I was coming on to you (now thats just dirty Emily!)
Happy in the night time, howlin' at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
Something about you I hold on to

You've got my eyes (x2)
You'll never be mine
But you've got my eyes

When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you blind (yes that's correct) I cover it up
When you lie I cover it up
When you hide I cover it up
When you cry I cover it up
When you come undone I cover it up

They got it, they want it, they give it away (x4)

[onthesly-girl]

sweet, thanks!

seriously i do not hear 'swallowed all the blow'. no matter how many times i listen to it i can't hear that extra 'ed all the' compared to just 'that blow'

but do you have official lyrics or
