Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bold faced promises scream out from the wall
Auger lime light dreamlands and other tales so tall
Veiled in the dignity of an ample hall
Welcome to the casting call
One by one they are exposed to the spotting light
Empty rows in front of them, in the back a wooden sky
A creep on a red armchair imitates wide eyes
Welcome to the casting lie

[Chorus 1]
He invites them all to his own board game
With the rules that he makes
They're never the same
But they just don't have to know
He'll make all their moves
No, they just don't have to know
They're all just mutes

[Verse 2]
On his fingers, wrists, and neck there's plenty of gold
Charming, yet tentative, he's flying with the crows
In his theatre everything is under control
And he would buy your soul
He promised them the climax of their vocational lives
But they will be his climax of pleasure tonight
They feel special when he looks at them and smiles
Their reason in durance vile

[Chorus 2]
He invites them all to his own board game
With the rules that he makes
They're never the same
But they just don't have to know
He'll make all their moves
No, they just don't have to know
They're all just mutes

[Interlude]
She is last in line, taking her time
To figure out his plans and then
He invites her to play, but she has learned the rules
He will be dismayed when she make her move
He thinks of her as just another challenge
But she will be his demise
He thinks he is safe. No-one can beat him
But he will really be surprised
When she tears down his disguise
Sleep dissolved in an age-old booze
He will feel his ties

[Verse 3]
He didn't even notice that she'd turned the boards
His cheats and tricks or to whatever he used to resort
Could not solve the mess he's in, nothing to recourse
It's obvious he lost

[Chorus 3]
He lies there naked tied to bed posts
With an apple taped half in his mouth
Just another snapshot and he could be exposed
To a million eyes. He lost control.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's the sound of the rain that reminds me of you
It's the warmth of bright and sunny summer day, too
It's the darkness of the night and the light of the day
It's the path that we walked and the buildings along the way
It's a melody I hear and a song I recognise
It's a graffito on the wall, a ruined house on the other side
It's Tequila in a glass, a pint of Guinness at the bar
It's an iron bus stop bench, and a broken car

[Chorus 1]
It's a shame there are these hurdles in our way
That we have to overcome everyday
It's a shame that some cannot accept the truth
With one eye on the clock time's up
Way too soon. way too soon

[Verse 2]
It's the light of the sun that reminds me of you
It's the cloudy sky of a grey winter day, too
It's an empty street at dusk and a tiny lake at night
It's a football table game and a stolen bike
It's the colour of your eyes and the scent of your hair
It's the softness of your lips, your beauty and your flair
It is everything we did and everything we've left undone
It's the unsuccessful quest of a fire-spitting dragon


[Chorus 2]
It's a shame there are these hurdles in our way
That we have to overcome everyday
It's a shame that some cannot accept the truth
With one eye on the clock time's up
Way too soon
It's a shame there are these hurdles in our way
That we have to overcome everyday
It's a shame that some cannot accept the truth
With one eye on the clock time's up
Way too soon, way too soon

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Exhausted faces and mangled bodies
Pulling and pushing each other so hard
And when we get through, almost reach our goal
A spring drags us back right to the start

[Chorus 1]
We keep running in circles in this petry plate
Our microscoped fate in an observable state
Driven on by the hope one day we might escape
But it's much too late, we have taken the bait
And we abate

[Verse 2]
Daydream chances and dreamless sleep
The money centrifuge increases the speed
Exhausted minds and mangled hearts
The trite promise of an insipid treat

[Chorus 2]
We keep running in circles in this petry plate
Our microscoped fate in an observable state
Driven on by the hope one day we might escape
But it's much too late, we have taken the bait
And we abate

[Bridge]
And we're staking larger claims for the tiny chance
That maybe we'll find the holy grail, but
There's no such thing as endless growth on limited resources
This idealogy is bound to fail, still

[Chorus 3]
We keep running in circles in this petry plate
Our microscoped fate in an observable state
Driven on by the hope one day we might escape
But it's much too late, we have taken the bait
And we abate

Lyrics
And the earth is flat, chemtrails in the sky
Hitler is not dead, we're ruled by reptiles
I will never stop telling you to wake up

Apollo is a sham, satelites ain't real
Grabovoi's "the" man and his numbers heal
Let me tell you by all means: jet fuel can't melt steal beams
The Galactic Federation Of Tinfoil Hats

Vaccines kill us all, shifting shapes delude
You are a paid troll and your words confuse
Y'know, I was digging deep and you are all asleep

You say I fell ill, I am paranoid
But they pay your bills, those illumansonoids
All the secrets that I know might stop the NWO
All the secrets that I know might stop the NWO
