Smile 05:14
Time goes on and on And it never thickens When we're nearly gone Then we'll know it's amazing, amazing 'Cause we've lived, laughed, loved, learned Whilst the world it turned In the end we will smile Can we truly say That we made the most of every single day? And we never got lazy, lazy 'Cause if we had then we'd be so happy and we couldn't say Go back there's something I missed In time I'm sure we'll find That we cannot help but feel the daily grind And become fucking crazy, crazy But if we live, laugh, love, learn Whilst the world it turns In the end we will smile In the cold light of day When we look through the haze Clear as black and white

You sold your kiss to me We danced electrically I held your elegance We felled our detriment Feed the fire Gone away is today But it feels just like it should 'Cause when we float we float away You know we cannot touch the flames Feed the fire Feed the fire

Dream 03:42
You come out at night You're as clear as day You're as dark as twilight My minds a pit and a cave That you crawl right in and stay forever Why don't you tell me a secret about yourself? "Cause you're telling me lies You're a midnight rave You're a pox on quiet tranquil being And when your stories repeating on itself Then you've lost the surprise Keep these thoughts in my head My dream state of mind is something else At least I know it's R.E.M At least this story has an end Why don't you tell me a secret about yourself? 'Cause you're telling me lies You've got a twisted smile Your scenes and faces melt together And when your heroine morphs into a boy Maybe it's time to alight You're busted tonight When you're chased then caught then chased then caught then When you jump off a cliff and out of sight That's when you know you're alive Keep these thoughts in my head My dream state of mind is something else At least I know it's R.E.M At least this story has an end You did me proud last night I drowned my bad guy, I won my fight But swiftly travelled back in time I had to start all over again Keep these thoughts in my head My dream state of mind is something else At least I know it's R.E.M At least this story has an end

Bastoy 03:36
Murder and they're living on the devils island Torturing and this is how they serve their time in With no walls to break through out here And no escape plans to hatch or endear Work hard and they'll earn themselves a little dollar Fresh start for the lunatics and bad no hopers With no walls to break through out here And no escape plans to hatch or endear Gun-fighters, low-life's Ring-leaders or juveniles In Bastoy, the girls and the boys make good In paradise They need some time to combat their hell They can't just carry on But when they bare their chests and they fight They'll know their demons are gone Out there are no reprobates that clog the system Just time, work, respect and then a man to listen The idea of allowing a killer To walk among us is anathema Broken are the ones that crack the rocks inside and Last chance for the wicked not to wrong their rights and The idea of allowing a killer To walk among us is anathema Gun-fighters, low-life's Ring-leaders or juveniles In Bastoy, the girls and the boys make good In paradise They need some time to combat their hell They can't just carry on But when they bare their chests and they fight They'll know their demons are gone
