band: DEUS EX MACHINA album: Quantize TAKE IT AWAY (Mules/Morris) When will the sun rise again? To end this darkness and the rain Safe from the motion; safe from emotion of which I must refrain Lying on a concret bed of sorrows, Puttin' on a maks to face tomorrow, Now where do I go from here? Got nothing to face but eternal fear; Passin' by the "P" street corner messiah, Paintin' life sweet for Pariahs; Bus-stop beggars lying to your face, "such a disgrace," I said Take, take, take it away... Now who holds the means to save, if God is still in the grave? Pushed in a corner, denied the former joys of yesterday Take, take, take it away... Yeah I got nothin' left in me; It's all dark inside; Cuz nothing ever changes; Reach up, pull the knife Take, take, take it away... FUSED (Mules/Morris) Silently, you steal from me, all my resistance Desperatly, you feel for me, absorbing my distance Always been, Always seemed, reciprocal to me Never been, Never felt, typical to me Stay with me, Stay with me (til I die) Run away, Run away (by my side) Fervently, our guards fly free, melting our persons Lucidly, you see through me, understanding deceptions Stay with me... If I had a mountian, I'd give it all to you If I had the sky, I'd offer you the moon Drink all the joy, that you give to me You're everything, everything I need Stay with me... BREAK UP (Mules/Morris) I never feel the same when we're apart You always said that pain was just the start We were closer than the earth under our feet Stronger than a storm, thrashing in the sea Stranger, anger, How could life be so cruel? Lover under the cover, How could I be such a fool? Now your sentence must be served, judgement satisfied I'm your dying chair, I'm your silver knight Sometimes I want to shut of my world and stop my beating heart Sometimes I want to reach out and hurl the sun into the dark Stranger, anger... Feel the ragin in my soul like fire deep inside Blood sweat from my skin like Jesus' darkest night Hear the breathing of my hate, knocking at your door, Slashing at your face, I can't love anymore Sometimes I want to turn out the lights, and leave the pain behind Sometimes I want to shout out the truth, instead I run and hide Stranger, anger... DOMINATION (Mules/Morris) Meat! Fleisch! Chains, grind the chains, chains, grind the chains Stake, drive the stake, stake, drive the stake Blood, suck the blood, blood, suck the blood. Lies! Lies! Domination! Lies! Crack the whip, no! Crack the whip, no! Flip the switch, flip the switch Freedom, freedom to opress, freedom to oppress No hopes, no visioin, reduced to machine Your life, submission­tyrannical regime Lies! Lies... Is meine Augen, Is mein Nase, Is mein Hirn, mehr Fleisch, langer, na ja jetzt langer Chains, grind the chains, chains, grind the chains Stake, drive the stake, stake, drive the stake Blood, suck the blood, blood, suck the blood. No dreams, no heros, no life to call your own No friends, no money, your life stripped to the bone Lies! Lies... LUST CONTROL (Morris/Mules/Deal) Run your fingers down the, keep your hands on the, feel the sweetness dripping, and your lips are kissing Like serpents writhing slowly, just slide your face upon me, make me feel alive, make me feel like somebody Put your arms around me, lift me up, take me, make me Goldfinger, feed my hunger, still shining so inviting, your power's growing even stronger You trick me so like a, you make me pay like a trick, you leave me wanting more, I'm brooding on this floor You taste so sweet, feel so real, make me weak, such a steal, like cocaine, I need a fix within my vein Life's sin, Life's dream. It's just another scheme to exercise our evil, the fantasies of greedy people Goldfinger... STRANGLED (Morris/Mules/Caraway The rain burns your skin, the sun sear your head The wind bites your flesh, the clouds steal your light Now, now. I'm strangled, I'm feeling strangled, nothing is left alive The core disintegrates, the seas flood your land The desert dries your blood, the sins areon your back Feeling strangled, feeling strangeld, nothing is left alive Strangled... the core disitegrates... Arbeit macht frei I am strangled... the sun burns your flesh, the clouds rain on you You are strangled (mangled)... SHUT THE DOOR (Mules/Morris) Shut the door, go on just walk away, into the night, turn the page No, I'll never ask, you're too ideal How can I be satisfied, to live my life desiring, only not to move very close to you, for fears might prove too strong and I would fall How does it feel when you think love is unreal? I'm so afriad of the words you might say Break the silence and the emptiness, Fake emotions and the happiness How can I be satisfied to life my life desireing, only not to be close and free to say just what I mean and what I feel Drink her voice, savor the sound washing by Steal her warmth, like a thief in the night How can I... How does it feel... NEW AND IMPROVED (Morris/Mules) New and improved, the drug of your conviction Wofe of contradiction, we're on a mission Save your life, save your life Erotic coma, a psychologic aroma Electric sludge on Michael's glove Limbo crutch, Ted drinks too much Mesmerized, am I mesmerized, mesmerized, am I mesmerized? Post-mortem poet, overboiled mud Mocrocosmic god, with a cattle prod Psychotic sin, revolution to be thin Evaporated mind, hallucinated time Safe seduction, Tse Tse fly consumption Sacrificial druid leaks body fluid Speaking in tounges seems to blacken your lungs Homosexual neurons, byronic moron Mesmerized... Intellectual Shayne, the sky that knows his name Erotic coma, atheistic aroma Shoot this in your brain, burned up vein Jesus movement needs a little impovement New and improved, Freudian train Unleavedned bread, Jesus said Save your life, save your life Bionic Smurf stake his turf Dissected eyeball on the table Plaster gum makes eating fun Mesermized... SLEEPING TIME (Mules/Morris) Now it's sleeping time again, now our lives are at an end, and we're vanishing in the framework Now our image fades away, our lost life of yesterday, and our souls are slipping outside How did Newton conquer us, the garden door is being shut, pyramids are crumbling in the distance Now forever man decays, automation digs his grave, keeping silent and growing colder I never thought we would end, our world is melting again Like summer slipping into fall, our shadow pales against the wall Why do curtians always close? Dawn of dusk, our hearts have froze; light disintigrating in the deep death we await a brand new day, a ressurrection song to play, and raise our burried heads in celebrations I never thought we would end...
