Standing in and endless line It's misery you know But all will come and go before my eyes And when the time arrives, the memories return with images that failed to realize Living every day in fear The misery it seems, to haunt the broken dreams that we don't show And all that I can hear is deafening decay Fading to the point of letting go One more time Circling the drain inside my mind so we could survive one more time Longing for Dreaming of the things we left behind And one more time Circling the drain inside my mind So we could survive There's no more time Longing for Dreaming of the things we left behind

Take your dreams far away The only plan is escape All your love is gone It dried up, so come on now I am a robot and I'm a believer Take me out of town Before you know it the bottle is flowin' Turn the ocean brown You are not in control That's the first delusion to go All the pain that you have wrought Reckoning is all we sought now I am a robot and I'm a believer Take me out of town Before you know it, the bottle is flowin' Turn the ocean brown I am a robot, but you're the deceiver And you've lost your crown Before you know it, the nautilus chose it To turn the ocean brown What do you think will become of me After nothing else is left to see What do you think will become of you When your empty sacrament is through Take your dreams far away The only plan is escape All your love is gone It dried up, so come on now I am a robot and I'm a believer Take me out of town Before you know it, the bottle is flowin' Turn the ocean brown I am a robot, but you're the deceiver And you've lost your crown Before you know it, the nautilus chose it To turn the ocean brown Turn the ocean brown Turn it upside down Turn the ocean brown

Shooting star calls me home away from everything I've seen I have died a thousand times awake in this dream All alone is what I'm meant to be Set me free of the curse of being real Clouds go by my window It will never be the same Clouds go by my window pane In this space I feel at home Locked alone in my own mind Without the hope of escape It's all true Oh how I envy you Dark star Dark star Dark Star Dark star Satellite beams the signals to the spaces in between Architects that write the code Omnipotent machines But all alone is what I'm meant to be Set me free of the pain of being real Clouds go by my window It will never be the same Clouds go by my window pane But from the void there shines a light Oh my perfect satellite You have come to set me free All I do Oh I do for you Dark Star Dark star Dark Star Dark Star

Open up your mind Close your eyes and see I am everyone Everyone is me So much sorrow So much pain And tomorrow it all starts again Carry on Lost Moon Leaders We understand you'll never leave us All this time I've been wondering where I belong Giving rise to destruction while trying to be strong Every night I just wish that you felt the same Cos' I know what I've lost we can reclaim Carry on Lost Moon Leaders We understand you'll never leave us So Go Open up your mind For now Close your eyes and see But still I am everyone Some how Everyone is me We need you So much sorrow To believe So much pain It's ending And tomorrow There's reprieve It all starts again Carry on Lost Moon Leaders We understand you'll never leave us again

Throw what you think you know in the fire And all we ever wanted was the truth There's nothing that belongs to you And all we ever wanted was the truth We'll sail the open seas of our minds But don't be surprised at what we find It's all we've ever known inside It's everything we've been denied If you can't comprehend just please try They set our world aflame with their lies Cos' nothing is so real as our minds Yeah nothing is so real you will find I have regrets And we forget All we only want is to be free But we're the only ones who can't see it
