The Fake Sound of Progress
Album - 13 ottobre 2000 - Debaser id 18016

Got it all too high
Got it figured out
Wanna do whatever
Laugh until September
And I seem to think
That you were once here with me
Could be I was wrong
You were moving on

And I sit and wonder
Falling under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone, yeh
You feel so empty
But I've got me a friend
And I like it, oh

And I know you say
I can't care for someone
But are you that clever
That you smile forever?
Is it summer yet?
'Cause I just don't feel it
Maybe it's a treaty
Maybe you are not her

And I sit and wonder
Falling under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone
You feel so empty
But I've got me a friend
And i like it, oh

Stay now, got it for all the day
And do i..?

Somebody told me that I would always have to plan,
But if that was true I would have fallen apart by now,
The more you think, the less you hand away,
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress...

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind?
Looks like I've lost my mind once again,
I know it all sounds so contrived, but it's got to me,
You know I've got to be more than this

[PRE-CHORUS]
Don't frown, don't scorn, 'cuz I walk a different street to you,
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you blown,
But it will never get to me...

[CHORUS]
Somebody told me that I would always have to bow,
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now,
The more you think, the less you act their ways,
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress...

And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this,
Chances that I've missed, now they're gone,
Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense,
Sitting on the fence, can't decide

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day,
Always charged but I need more, make me take away...
Tell me now, can you hear the sound
Of all these people fallin' down,
Crawling back into the ground, make me smile again...

(It sounds like...)
Dah dah dah dah dah dah-dah dah dah,
(It sounds like...)
Dah dah dah dah dah dah-dah dah dah,
(It sounds like this...)
All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day
Always charged but I want more, make me take away...
All these words that I accounted for...
I'll never fear another day
Makes... me... take... AWAY!

[CHORUS] (With back voice improvs)

Make me smile again... (The fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again... (The fake sound of progress)
...

(if you wanna be a superstar you gonna have to check out the stars)

if you thought that i was leaving here
can i find a way inside
try to call it just an absence of faith
but i feel justified
you can't stare through this
there's nothing left in my heart
but for now
just too long
there's no end in sight

wot am i for
to be hurt more
i just don't like you in yourself
i cant like u
want to burn u
i wish u were dead

cos if its hard you want out its no fun
got left with everything
behind your smile forget that i was left with everything
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same
its never the same

once you played up to the end
stop the noise
get nowhere with your current state of mind
i even wonder why you're here please stay at home
killing my laughter
hurting my insides
you're our plague

wot am i here for
to be hurt more
i just don't like it here with yourself
i cant like you
want to burn you
i wish you were dead
cos if its hard you want out its no fun
got left with everything
behind your smile forget that i was left with everything
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same

if you thought that i was leaving here
can i find a way inside
try to call it just an absence of faith
but i feel justified
if its hard you want out its no fun got left with
everything
behind your smile forget that i was left with everything
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same

(its how i feel yeah its how i'm made yeah....)

and to it all
falling down
who's in touch with everyone who ever stood their ground?
if you could then i know i do to
lost inside a maze of problems with you

is it so hard
every time i say
won't you come and fight with me
because if i thought i were you
every word i say
would come out wrong and make you look the other way
you know, if i thought i were you,
time and time again
and if i did we won't be friends

and tell me i'm brought down again
never the one i'd explain

can't you ..., don't you lie
there've been times when i've felt good because you're hurt inside
no that's not true i'm just acting tough
i don't know what it is i'm feeling
i don't know if you are enough

is it so hard
every time i say
won't yo u come and fight with me
because if i thought i were yo u
every word i say
would come out wrong and make yo u look the other way
yo u know, if i thought i were yo u,
time and time again
and if i did we won't be friends

and tell me, i'll fall down again
never the one, i'll explain

so answer that you never know
don't want it back it seems to go
its so hard, so hard

cos i feel alive and it feels alright
keep on telling me that its over please
and i feel the one
lying in the sun
(could i, should i, would i....)
its so hot in here
its the clothes i wear
don't you even ask
i wont let you pass
but my guard is up
and you stole his care
(could i, should i, would i....)

Say goodbye to you,
But it always dies,
It's taken aback to....
So what'cha gonna do now,
But you've got until sundown
Don't look too good, don't look too bright,
Got it all but wanna fight
So how you gonna feel now
But you've got until sundown
Step in the car, it's time to go
You want it back, you fell off track
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me, such an irony
And I told you once, I'd never leave
And all I do, and all I've seen
I drove.

(I don't want your explanations now, it doesn't work)
So tell me why it all revolves around you,
(I got it, I got it, I got it...)
And in time I know in time what I must do,
(I got it, I got it, I got it...)
Now I know it's time for us to fade
Say what's awful, want it all today, now

Say what's wrong with you,
Got too much on your mind
And you just don't know where your going
So how are you gonna feel now,
But you got until sundown
Don't look too good, don't look too bright
Got it all and wanna fight
So how you gonna feel now,
But you got until sundown
Step in the car
It's time to go
You want it back, you still attack
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me, such an irony
And I told you once, I'd never leave
And all I do, and all I see
I drove

(I don't want your explanations now, it doesn't work)
So tell me why it all revolves around you,
(I got it, I got it, I got it...)
And I know in time what I must do,
(I got it, I got it, I got it...)
Now I know it's time for us to fade,
Say what's awful, want it all today, now

I feel fine now, it's my time now
I feel fine now, it's my time now

(Break it down like thi'!)

{Write to someone, Let the subject burn,
If It's slow for my reply then ignore the wait,
But as long as you want everything and as long as you won't ever do,
Return, Return, Return to you}

Point the blame, Push the blame, Who's to blame today?
Point your finger, Lose your mind, All you do is pray,
Look out, Get down, Fall down, Your masquerade will do,
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Inside won't be here to stay,
King for a day, That's all I'll say.

{Such a party bum, You should know that right away,
Let the subject burn, and wish that all the fucking time, ??}

Point the blame, Push the blame, Who's to blame today?
Point your finger, Lose your mind, All you do is play.
Look out, Get down, Fall down, Your masquerade will do,
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Yes, in time, won't be here to stay,
King for a day, That's all I'll say.

But here, Thought I got a home,
Sit down, Got a home,
Got a home, Got a home,
Got home, and I know.

Supreme
Thoughts come my way
lose it all
But it was nothing anyway
what's done is done
and I know I'll be safe
in time you will too
so beautiful
Gotta set me free

Chorus
and you're all very proud
when there's nothing left to steal
and I feel, so real, it scares me
have I ever asked for more

betrayed
my plan ends a war with me
it's never up to me
I know they'll all pray
how far kid
coz from here it looks like a long way down, I can't climb back up
like a slow crawl
that's keeping me from you

Chorus
and you're all very proud
when there's nothing left to steal
and I feel, so real, it scares me

have I ever asked for more
was I that Insecure

can't you stick out your fears, can't you push them out some more, yeah
can't you stick out your fears, can't you push them out some more, yeah

I know it's all in there but I can't see
I can't see that Far
WOOOO
Yeah

Ultimatum time now, what's it gonna be
something, something's wrong, something's wrong, something's very wrong

please can I have more time
if I see you again, I'll laugh right in your face

back

Come take a look,
because all this could mean that i,
don't really care who ends up getting hurt
Please take a look
if it's judgement versus instinct
how do i feel
when my feelings don't even work
know that i'll be there
'cause i can see it in your smile
time stood still for me
when you call
said i
answer me this
yes all i have is questions
you can't slip away and hide behinde a false truth
time takes too long
just seems like i'm still standing here now
and i can't even feel the rain that hits my shores
know that i'll be there
'cause i can see it in your eyes
time stood still for me
when you call.

I'm still waiting
i still breathe
that's a sign that i'm still me
i'm still breathing
i can see
so i must be alive for real
when will i get there
i should be here by now
got it all worked out
did i see you laughing
yet funny, it's not to me
in time all i want is it away
got too long and now it's gone, it's gone

I'm still waiting
i still breath
that's a sign that i'm still me
i'm still breathing
i can see
so i must be alive for real
so i must be alive for real
yeah so i must be alive for real
so i must be alive for real

if I could walk a thousand miles a day, I'd try
to do it, coz I don't know if you really said
I think I saw the sky tonight, pushing through it feels alright
and I just don't know who I wanna be

and everytime I see your face I laugh, out loud
acting hot, you're fitting in with all the crowd
if I could I'd stop the time
and ask you for a clever line
just because I know that you won't give it to me
Chorus
it's raining hard again here now
that'll never change
let's start a war, so who's to blame
whenever it starts to rain down

at times I think that all I need is summer sun
burning in my eyes and breaking through the trees
at times I feel my place is empty
it looks as though I never met me
but my smile does only show one side of me

and I can show you a little slice of everyone
laughing in the dark I think you're having fun
the sunlight in your face at time
washes away all the grime
makes me forget just how much i hate you tonight
Chorus
it's raining hard again here now
that'll never change
let's start a war, so who's to blame
whenever it starts to rain down

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

let's start a war, so who's to blame
whenever it starts to rain, yeah
starts to rain, yeah
starts to rain, yeah
starts to rain...down

yeah, yeah yeah
yes I feel your words
but I do not hear them
don't you think it's strange that time will not support my cause
when I enter

yes, I thought of you, it all comes to easily
how come i don't see the world like you do
have i got my, eyes closed? I don't think so
Chorus
and now i see the world and it's all i can believe
smile stands in your face, but it's not to late for me
here i stand and i laugh when i see the world your in
smile stands in your face, but it's not to late for me

now it's gone, can we, start again, start a new
will it follow us back down, can we go through life with
a frown
oh no
Chorus
and now i see the world and it's all i can believe
smile stands in your face, but it's not to late for me
here i stand and i laugh when i see the world your in
smile stands in your face, but it's not to late for me

No it's not too late for me
