The Guru

My mind is yours
Make me think whatever you want me to
My mind is yours
Make me think whatever you want me to
We are part of the good guys
But we're the ones left with tears in our eyes
- - -
Cause he's leaving us behind
For new legions of believers to find
And now it's all up to our mind
To never forget his legacy any time
- - -
He taught us to believe
And a cult's all it's made out to be
We sought the light for everybody
And a freak's all he's made out to have been
Where only the notion of being a believer
Was in itself a danger
We found the faith, we found the faith
That would always keep us safe
The guru, the guru, the guru, the guru
Made every one of our thoughts all brand new
The guru, the guru, the guru, the guru
We gave our whole hearts and spirits willingly to
My mind is yours
Make me think whatever you want me to
My mind is yours
Make me think whatever you want me to
We are part of the good guys
But we're the ones left with tears in our eyes
- - -
Cause we thought before we lived
And our thoughts distracted us from the road
From orphaned children to childless parents
From black clouds to silver rain
- - -
You said well at least nobody died
But I did, I did, I did
A relief behind closed eyelids
That's all we wanted to believe
Where the answers mattered
Even to those who hadn't asked the questions
Our prayers were answered, were answered
A new world was set into action
The guru, the guru, the guru, the guru
Made every one of our thoughts all brand new
The guru, the guru, the guru, the guru
We gave our whole hearts and spirits willingly to
My mind is yours
Make me think whatever you want me to
My mind is yours
Make me think whatever you want me to
He threw me a birthday party
The first one I ever got
The whole sanctuary was invited
That was it then, I converted
- - -
Drinking in his words, drinking in his tea
Could only make one want to change

Every exclamation has its nation
They're the flavor of a conversation
Every now and then lost in translation
Where the meaning is just a flick of the tongue
Every exclamation has its nation
Always a revolution against the situation
Not one exclamation has its limitation
The speech just goes on and on and on and on
It all always starts with a decision
Do you want to choose your mission?
Choose your mission
It all always starts in your imagination
Will you change the outcome of your nation?
What we thought we could count -
We could count on
Going through endless distortion
Every dream containing a portion
Of the future already in motion
What we thought we could mount -
We could mount on
Slowly delivered from our weakening grip
Every nightmare escaping deep sleep
Forming a future that had no seeds
Way back when we closed our eyelids
Way back when we closed our eyelids
And when the exchange has lost all of its sense
When no one really knows what was meant
All that still remains is a point, a point, a point
And a sentence that never reaches its end
Every exclamation has its nation
They're the flavor of a conversation
Every now and then lost in translation
Where the meaning is just a flick of the tongue
Even though every thought has its generation
Every conversation end in the same expectation
They always walk away without another glance
How could they walk away from such a strong stance?
It all always starts with a decision
Do you want to choose your mission?
Choose your mission
It all always starts in your imagination
Will you change the outcome of your nation?
What we thought we could count -
We could count on
Going through endless distortion
Every dream containing a portion
Of the future already in motion
What we thought we could mount -
We could mount on
Slowly delivered from our weakening grip
Every nightmare escaping deep sleep
Forming a future that had no seeds
Way back when we closed our eyelids
Way back when we closed our eyelids
And when the exchange has lost all of its sense
When no one really knows what was meant
All that still remains is a point, a point, a point
And a sentence that never reaches its end

I know things may have gone so awry
But I'm still chasing glory
I know it's a funny song to listen to on my own
But I feel it deep in my bones
And these are stories that move me
If you're looking for me
And I know you will, not now yet, but one day
I'll be the one blending in standing out
The neon lights brushing the dark out of my way
I'll insist on going out into the crowd
Being awkward on the dancefloor
I'll never leave once I'm past the door
I know it will be my song, it will be my song
And I'm not sure I could actually dance to it
But it's as though I'm already there
And I told you I will collapse on my feet
And won't move away
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
You will be dancing to an ode to the loveless
And you're not dying with my forgiveness
You will be dancing to an ode to the loveless
And you're not dying with my forgiveness
I get so excited and so self-aware
When I know you'll eventually care
I know things may have gone so awry
But I'm still chasing glory
I know it's a funny story to write on my own
But I could stay up 'til dawn
Feeling so confident in the tale being drawn
If you're looking to be saved
And I know you will, not now yet, but one day
I'll be the one that ran away
Never letting anyone catch the wave
I'll insist on believing is on the way
Being awkward on the dancefloor
I'll never leave once I'm past the door
I know it will be my song, it will be my song
And I'm not sure I could actually dance to it
But it's as though I'm already there
And I told you I will collapse on my feet
And won't move away
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
You will be dancing to an ode to the loveless
And you're not dying with my forgiveness
You will be dancing to an ode to the loveless
And you're not dying with my forgiveness
I get so excited and so self-aware
When I know you'll eventually care
And this has become all I think of
And this has become my whole history
And this has become my identity
And this is what should define me
And this has become my sole motivation
And this has become my very own religion
And this is all I could ever believe in
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
Won't move away, not 'til I see you care
You will be dancing to an ode to the loveless
And you're not dying with my forgiveness
And you're not dying with my forgiveness
And you're not dying with my forgiveness

Oh no they've recognized me
I just went for a quiet evening
Why aren't they at home watching me
Instead of being in my pub bothering me
Yeah, yeah, okay, it's me
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
Everybody's watchin' for me
Everybody's watchin' for me
They don't care about the other stories
They don't care about the other stories
They've let me go, yeah they've let me go
Yeah, they've let me go
Yeah the new producers let me go
They said it was budget setbacks
But anyway they'll be callin' me back
They'll be callin' me back
They'll be callin' me back
And I'll just roll my eyes
Cause they might as well die
Before I come crawlin' back
Before I come crawlin' back
Everybody's watchin', watchin' for me
They don't care about the other stories
I'm probably gonna win another Emmy
Been collecting 'em my whole career
Constantly the best hair, constantly the best dressed
And yet they're firing me for an older actress
Well I wish 'em all my best - as well as a slow painful death
Enjoy your bad ratings
The network will soon consider cancelling
Cancelling, yeah cancelling
Enjoy your bad ratings
Anyway, I don't have enough time
To run through my lines
Fetch me my cue cards
So I can be a proper star
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
Everybody's watchin' for me
Everybody's watchin' for me
They don't care about the other stories
They don't care about the other stories
They've let me go, yeah they've let me go
Yeah, they've let me go
Yeah the new producers let me go
They said it was budget setbacks
But anyway they'll be callin' me back
They'll be callin' me back
They'll be callin' me back
And I'll just roll my eyes
Cause they might as well die
Before I come crawlin' back
Before I come crawlin' back
Everybody's watchin', watchin' for me
They don't care about the other stories
My manager's already got plenty other offers
The other shows, they all want me front-and-center
Constantly the best hair, constantly the best dressed
And yet they're firing me for an older actress
Well I wish 'em all my best - as well as a slow painful death
Enjoy your bad ratings
The network will soon consider cancelling
Cancelling, yeah cancelling
Enjoy your bad ratings
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I'm the star of that show, I'm the star of that show
I kept that show on TV
Everybody was watchin' for me
They don't care about the other stories
They don't care about the other stories

I live in a world amongst live and dead people
In a world amongst the unlived and the unloved
Amongst the created and the undone
Amongst all that will ever, ever, ever be done
Where what used to be superpower, superpower
Is now in our p-p-p-p-power
Superpower, superpower, superpower
Now fills all of our hours
I could have halted to a stop
Ready to bolt and then gallop
But you see, some inner light
Was guiding me, to take flight
Some long-lost echo was filling my steps
And there I'd go, dancing towards the edge
Faith was the only reason left
Faith was the only reason left
All my friends are electric
All my friends, you have to plug them in
All my friends are electric
All my friends, you have to plug them in
All my friends are electric
All my friends, you have to plug them in
Surrounded by everything human makes
The body connected to so many objects
Born out of the mind of necessity
Surrounded by everything human makes
All which started out as imaginary
And every inventions and releases it takes
To survive, trying to find the crack
That defines what's all around
That defines what's all around
That defines what's all around
That defines what's all around
In this day and age, we learn how to experience
Life under the rules of a new science
An era all but a flash in the pan
The mind's redefined what it's like to be human
Where what used to be superpower, superpower
Is now in our power
Superpower, superpower, superpower
Now fills all of our hours
I could have halted to a stop
Ready to bolt and then gallop
But you see, some inner light
Was guiding me, to take flight
Some long-lost echo was filling my steps
And there I'd go, dancing towards the edge
Faith was the only reason left
Faith was the only reason left
All my friends are electric
All my friends, you have to plug them in
All my friends are electric
All my friends, you have to plug them in
All my friends are electric
All my friends, you have to plug them in
Surrounded by everything human makes
The body connected to so many objects
Born out of the mind of necessity
Surrounded by everything human makes
All which started out as imaginary
And every inventions and releases it takes
To survive, trying to find the crack
That defines what's all around
That defines what's all around
That defines what's all around
That defines what's all around

My wounds are the only bit of flesh
I'm ever gonna lick
They taste so fresh, they taste so damn fresh
The blood's renewed every week
It's in my mind I do the weeping
I'm not about to appear weak
It's under my skin I do the bleeding
And I lick, I lick, I lick, I lick
In my wounds, the healing takes place
Skin hardening to re-inflict the pain
But my wounds, they're ready to bleed again
Setting themselves free from decades of strength
My wounds are the only bit of flesh
I'm ever gonna lick
They taste so fresh, they taste so damn fresh
The blood's renewed every week
A set of rules dictated by the heart's want
A lonely fool, no one's to love, no one's
A patch of wounds dictated by a loveless hurt
Veins that bloom, ready to burst, ready to burst
Veins that bloom, veins that bloom
Ready to burst, ready to burst
Every night I embrace myself
And pray there'll be no leak
In the morning, I brace myself
And wonder if the day'll make me sick
In my wounds, the healing takes place
Skin hardening to re-inflict the pain
But my wounds, they're ready to bleed again
Setting themselves free from decades of strength
My wounds are the only bit of flesh
I'm ever gonna lick
They taste so fresh, they taste so damn fresh
The blood's renewed every week
My wounds are the only bit of flesh
I'm ever gonna lick
They taste so fresh, they taste so damn fresh
The blood's renewed every week
A set of rules dictated by the heart's want
A lonely fool, no one's to love, no one's
A patch of wounds dictated by a loveless hurt
Veins that bloom, ready to burst, ready to burst

Crime & Opportunity
04:23
|
|||
They say it's always the troublemakers
That are always the gamechangers
Maybe if we don't switch up the game
Everything will remain, will remain, will remain the same
Will remain, will remain the same
Does opportunity feed criminality
Does your sense of morality
Feed your deepest insecurities?
Is the opportunity going to be yours or mine
Is there a possibility
That it might lead to a crime?
Do circumstances create the crime?
Or is what you would do under them
Within you at any set of time?
Can you be saved?
Are those around you safe?
Are they in danger in the insides of your mind?
Sometimes great thinkers are graverobbers
Taking away what's already been thought over
Sometimes great rules need a new set of tools
Confusion that brings the spirit
Much sought, much sought after order
Much sought, much sought after order
Does opportunity feed criminality
Does your sense of morality
Feed your deepest insecurities?
Is the opportunity going to be yours or mine
Is there a possibility
That it might lead to a crime?
Do circumstances create the crime?
Or is what you would do under them
Within you at any set of time?
Can you be saved?
Are those around you safe?
Are they in danger in the insides of your mind?

Marry the Music
03:26
|

I don't get it why they don't get it
Why they don't get it, why they don't get it
Wasn't the chorus enough to take you there
All I wanted for us was to make you care
Wasn't the chorus enough to take you there
All I wanted for us was to make you care
I want to marry the music
Singing is so much better than speaking
I want to always carry, carry, carry
The feeling that passes through me
As I'm listening
I want to marry the music
Sulking is so much better than talking
I want to always carry, carry, carry
The pride that disrupts the day
As I press play
Wasn't the chorus enough to take you there
All I wanted for us was to make you care
Wasn't the chorus enough to take you there
All I wanted for us was to make you care
And I'll defend the music to the end
I'll defend it until they understand
I want to marry the music
Singing is so much better than speaking
Sometimes I wish I'd never been cured
At least I could lose myself in the delirium
Sometimes I wish I had no culture
So I could submit to the highest bidder

The journey of your life
The travel of the light
The journey of your life
The travel of the light
Sometimes it feels like we're not even here
Our life is like a beam of light
Travelling through the darkness
- - -
We're not really physical
We're just mental, mental, mental
We're not really physical
We're mental images and memories
When I picture a lifetime
I picture it as an achievement
Only matters what it built up towards
We're living for this, for this moment
We built up our whole lifetime around
All we lived for was to reach this moment
Our very own lifetime achievement
We're living for this, for this moment
We built up from the solid, solid ground
Everything before then becoming the present
Every memory lived as a new moment
The journey of your life
The travel of the light
The journey of your life
The travel of the light
Dust and light particles
We're living like dead people
Because it's inevitable
For us to one day be what we are
- - -
We're not really physical
We're just mental, mental, mental
We're not really physical
We're mental images and memories
When I picture a lifetime
I don't picture it in the right order of time
I just picture it as a path
A path of light through the darkness
We're living for this, for this moment
We built up our whole lifetime around
All we lived for was to reach this moment
Our very own lifetime achievement
We're living for this, for this moment
We built up from the solid, solid ground
Everything before then becoming the present
Every memory lived as a new moment
The journey of your life
The travel of the light
The journey of your life
The travel of the light

Wrapped in the Rain
03:49
|

Enter through the big door
Enter through the big door
Make your entrance, your entrance
Don't leave it all just to chance
(I didn't think it could rain, I didn't think it could rain
I didn't didn't didn't)
They didn't see you walking through the small door
Through the small door
They didn't want to see anything change the world
They didn't expect to see anyone walk in anymore
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
If the world isn't about yourself, then what's it about?
What's it about, what's it about, what the hell's it about?
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
The world was calm
But boy was there a storm about to come, come
(About to come, come)
You were the roar, roar wrapped in silence
You were the storm, storm wrapped in the rain, rain
Enter through the big door
Enter through the big door
By avoiding who you don't want to be
You're silencing your children's dreams
(I didn't think it could rain, I didn't think it could rain
I didn't didn't didn't)
They didn't see you walking through the small door
Through the small door
Not at a loss for words
Of what should change, of what they would change
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
If the world isn't about yourself, then what's it about?
What's it about, what's it about, what the hell's it about?
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
Can anything change the world, change the world now?
If the world isn't about yourself, then what's it about?
The world was calm
But boy was there a storm about to come, come
(About to come, come)
You were the roar, roar wrapped in silence
You were the storm, storm wrapped in the rain, rain
