Sweet Lies - ESSEL & James Hurr

I love the feeling when we lift off Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window I wonder what keeps us so high up? Could there be a love beneath these wings? If we suddenly fall should I scream out? Or keep very quiet and cling to My mouth as I'm crying? So frightened of dying Relax, yes, I'm trying But fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me I love the quiet of the night time When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from The sense of time catching up with me The sky's set out like a pathway But who decides which route we take? As people drift into a dreamworld I close my eyes as my hands shake And when I see a new day Who's driving this anyway? I picture my own grave 'Cause fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground Will the earth beneath my body shake And cast your sleeping hearts awake? Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies? Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes? I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That's why everything's got to be love or death Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on...

Thou shalt not Kill your fathers, destroy another life Question everything we clung to for years Live forever, design a better death Confuse a liar with a savior from fear Create a myth and separate the chosen ones Adolescent independence, dominion I only wanna believe in fucking anything But now my conscience is contradicting everything The ending's the same The world will not change The answer is clear Tell your mothers they have no sons or daughters Blame yourselves because your children are mine We are orphans, but we are not forgotten And we will find a way to save us this time We can run, but we are tired of running We're dropping seconds in a glass till we die We only wanna believe in fucking everything But we're alive, and we're not accepting anything The ending's the same The world will not change The answer is clear Annihilation I won't control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I'm stronger, better They gave to me, now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves Oh, I will never become another piece Inside the paralytic construct I hate Live forever? Well, I would rather die At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create This is yours, but you had better choose Before they take away your right to decide I guess I'll never believe in fucking anything But my solace is, I can handle everything The ending's the same The world will not change The answer is clear Obliteration I won't control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I'm stronger, better They gave to me, now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I'm stronger, better I won't control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I'm stronger, better They gave to me, now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves We have to save ourselves

All the sorrow and the pain All the sacrifice in vain I was much too blind to see You make a loser out of me You put me down for oh so long While you sang your serpent's song The rest is history You can do no more to me I've been down so low Had nowhere left to go I could see it in your eyes All your promises were lies Promises and lies Your cut was quick and deep But then you thought you'd never need a friend But all things change, and tides must turn And you let all your bridges burn Too many fatal wounds to heal The rest is history You can do no more to me I've been down so low Had nowhere left to go I could see it in your eyes All your promises were lies Promises and lies

Slow I'm gonna settle down slow Down to the hum of electric life and soul Faith In my hand to trade But for the world and the light of a bitter scent And you can get me work But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead Alone I feel alone When I'm living in a building Like a tooth in heaven's throat True It's a beautiful view But you know they're gonna set it on fire When they feel like something new And you can get me work But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel? A pill to break the drone of reverie So bring me to the hand of fate The river or the new arcade So I can wash the empty hour away But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel So bring me to the hand of fate The river or the new arcade And you can get me work But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV
