I can make you believe in almost anything I want to gently occupy your mind It’s a shame you’ll just believe about everything I say When there’s nothing true behind Mistaking voyeurism for culture is the key To make my way into the truth ‘Cause I hold an absolute monopoly over you And yet I’m still in my youth Outside I’m a dream come true I come in many faces I live in every place Inside you’d scream if you knew I come in many faces I live in every place you go Give me good or bad give me ugliness I’ll sow confusion between the lines Give me lust give me love give me bitchiness I’ll turn your profanity to pride Give me envy give me bitterness I’ll make your sanity decline Give me television, loneliness I’ll make your humanity recline Outside I’m a dream come true I come in many faces I live in every place Inside you’d scream if you knew I come in many faces I live in every place you go

If I told you the truth would you still be proud? Would you feel surrounded and still be aroused? Stay still, sit down shut your mouth and seethe As I hold up the mirror can you still breathe, pretender? I don’t give a flying fuck if you feel bad I don’t care if your brain cells are one big gonad Which one of my actions gave you the drive? Nothing but pure invention so you could contrive, pretender But you don’t care much, do you? No you don’t fear much, do you? And you don’t foretell, do you? And you do fare well, don’t you? I’ll tell you a few home truths I’ll never sign a truce If you feel sorry for me, think again, I’m fine Every cloud has a silver lining and they’re mine So you can keep your sorrow, your guilt, your smear I’ve become much stronger now, so disappear, pretender

Face Tomorrow I am here I am there Yet I don’t belong anywhere Other than the clothes I wear You can’t hear me you don’t care You’re living like a drunken billionaire Lecturing, the world ain’t fair Are you mystified ? Would you kill would you maim a million men? For the sake of surrounding Bethlehem Imaginary peace in the hearts of men Who just can’t share Jerusalem Would you kill would you maim a million men? In the name of the swath you call your land A man of the cloth is but a man Children die and you don’t want to face tomorrow A siren sighs and you still won’t face tomorrow Why humiliate why confine So much hatred for a shrine End of times too many signs There’s no healing to be found When sacred symbols scar the ground And torn children make no sound I can’t drown here anymore I need to reach some kind of shore Why can’t you just live next door? People! come to the fore These fools are rotten to the core Scream for peace scream for more Are you mystified ? Children die and you don’t want to face tomorrow A siren sighs and you still won’t face tomorrow It should happen today We’ve waited this long, waited for ages

Something I Don't Know There is no sound in the silence you make Please say it loud never mind what you break My expectations that cannot be filled You gave me hope do I have to be thrilled Brooding in silence straight lines of rails Queuing for tickets for the next train of thought A tired-looking lady at the desk lifts her eyes This train’s a phantom, this train’s a ghost Tell me something I don’t know, I don’t know I want to see the things you didn’t show Look at the darkness from above I’ve already found a way to light up your shadow Trust in me I’m sure I can give you Something you don’t know Cry out the words that stop you from moving Think of all the time you’ve wasted ‘til now You’re keeping too many secrets to yourself You made me doubt you’re the reason of my despair You made me doubt so Tell me something I don’t know, I don’t know I want to see the things you didn’t show Look at the darkness from above I’ve already found a way to light up your shadow Trust in me I’m sure I can give you Something you don’t know

Tell me, what are you waiting for? Tell me, what are you hoping for? Tell me, would you call my name? Betray me, would you feel no shame? The latent underlying tyranny within you Don’t you ever feel no shame? The patent undermining theory beneath you Don’t you ever feel no shame at all? A line in the sand Lying in the sand A line in the sand Lying in the sand The latent underlying tyranny within you The patent undermining theory beneath you

The Empty Man A soul dying within, emptiness pushing hard Always growing and growing Nobody outside feels betrayed ‘cause the body Has changed wears a shape less insane One way to stop the emptiness from expanding Fill it with pain So will you Open your eyes or congratulate Yourself on your blindness ‘til it’s too late Until he becomes the empty man Too easy to believe you’ll retaliate When it comes to extremes before it’s too late Before he becomes the empty man When the time comes will you choose between obligations Or orders or mercy? You’ll be wearing armbands looking sideways A blurred vision a pointed hood A bloodshed like the good old days of legal murder Or maybe you’ll have the courage to say You might contend or disobey Will people think will people talk Or howl for your blood So will you Open your eyes or congratulate Yourself on your blindness ‘til it’s too late Until he becomes the empty man Too easy to believe you’ll retaliate When it comes to extremes before it’s too late Before he becomes the empty man At some point you’ll have to come to terms Are you one who remembers, blowing on embers
