(album: The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me - 2006)

Goodbye to sleep
I think this staying up is exactly what I need
Well take apart your head
Take apart the counting, and the flock it has bred

Goodbye to love
Well it's a ride that'll push you up
Right against the wall
(Does everybody really need to know everyone?)
Take apart your head
Do you really think you're really a part of it?
(Right against the wall)
And is your army really one of some thousands?
Chew it up and swallow it
And will you declare war on the loony bin?

You burnt bright but you're running
I fell asleep in on the incline
I can't shake this little feeling
I'll never get anything right

Goodbye you liar
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire

[In background:]
When I arrive will God be waiting and pacing around his throne?
Will he feel a little Old Testament?
And will he celebrate with fire and brimstone
Yeah, I admit, I am afraid of the reckoning

Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart the demon, in the attic to the left

(goodbye my love)
You burnt bright but you're running
(You wait right here, and they will come and pick you up)
(goodbye my love)
Let's sleep on the incline
(goodbye my love)
(I've been on pause but I'm shaking off the rust)
I can't shake this little feeling
(goodbye my love)
(I've lost my charge, I've been degaussed)
I'll never say anything right

I'm on my own, never say anything right
I'm on my own, never say anything right
I'm on my own, never say anything right
I'm on my own, never say anything right

Well take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Say I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in

When we were made we were set apart
Life is a test and I get bad marks
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming, the storm is coming in

You burnt bright but you're running
I fell asleep in on the incline
I can't shake this little feeling
I never did anything right

I'm on my own, never did anything right
I'm on my own

Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
Well you're my favourite bird and when you sing
I really do wish you'd wear my ring
No matter what they say, I am still the king
And now the storm is coming, the storm is coming in
