Apocalypse Please (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 4:12
Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread a sense of urgency
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world
And it's time we saw a miracle
Come on it's time for something biblical
To pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world
Proclaim eternal victory
Come on and change the course of history
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world
Time Is Running out (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 3:56
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
Yeah you will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this
Houhouhou yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
Houhouhou yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
Houhouhou yeahyeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah you will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
And how did it come to this
Houhouhou yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
Houhouhou yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
Houhouhou yeahyeah yeah yeah yeah
Sing for Absolution (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 4:54
Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful
Tiptoe to your room
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
And you never knew
Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace
There's nowhere left to hide
In no one to confide
The truth burns deep inside
And will never die
Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful
Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace
Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace
Our wrongs remain unrectified
And our souls won't be exhumed
Stockholm Syndrome (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 4:58
I wont stand in your way
Let your hatred grow
And she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll pray
And she had a name yeah she had a name
And i wont hold you back
Let your anger rise
And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn
No one will recall no one will recall
This is the last time i'll abandon you
And this is the last time i'll forget you
I wish i could
Look to the stars
Let hope burn in your eyes
And we'll love and we'll hate and we'll die
All to no avail all to no avail
This is the last time i'll abandon you
And this is the last time ill forget you
I wish i could
This is the last time i'll abandon you
And this is the last time i'll forget you
I wish i could
I wish i could
Falling Away With You (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 4:40
I can't remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood
All of the love we left behind
Watching our flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find
So i'll love whatever you become
Forget the reckless thing we 've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun
And I'll feel my world crumbling
I feel my life crumbling
I feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you
Staying awake to chase a dream
Tasting the air you're breathing in
I know I won't forget a thing
Promise to hold you close and pray
Watching the fantasies decay
Nothing will ever stay the same
And all of the love we threw away
And all of the hopes we've cherished fade
Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again
And I'll feel my world crumbling
I feel my life crumbling
I feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you
All of the love we left behind
Watching our flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find
Interlude (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 0:37
Instrumental
Hysteria (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 3:47
It's bugging me
Grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah I'm endlessly
Caving in
And turning inside out
'cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
Yeah it's holding me
Morphing me
And forcing me to strive
To be endlessly
Cold within
And dreaming I'm alive
'cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
And I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode
Blackout (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 4:22
Don't kid yourself
And don't fool yourself
This love's too good, to last
And I'm too old to dream, yeah...
Don't grow up too fast
And don't embrace the past
This life's too good to last
And I'm too young to care, yeah...
Don't kid yourself
And don't fool yourself
This life could be the last
And we're too young to see
Butterflies and Hurricanes (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 5:01
Change,
Everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead
Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
Change,
Everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles 've begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead
Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
Don't,
Let yourself down
And don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived
Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
The Small Print (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 3:29
Take,
Take all you need
And I'll compensate your greed
With broken hearts
Sell,
And I'll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But just the good days
Say,
It'll make you insane
And it's bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
But I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest god never paid
Hope,
And I hope you've seen the light
'cause no-one really cares
They're just pretending
Sell,
And I'll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But you can keep the bad days
Say,
It'll make you insane
And I'm bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
But I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest god never paid
Say,
It'll make you insane
And I'm bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest god never paid
Endlessly (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 3:48
There's part in me you'll never know
The only thing I'll never show
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes
It's plain to see it's trying to speak
Cherished dreams forever asleep
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
But the moment never comes
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 3:11
Eerie whispers
Trapped beneath my pillow
You won't let me see
Your memories
And I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
Where our worlds collide
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
And I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
Ruled by Secrecy (Bellamy, Howard Wolstenholme) - 4:52
Repress and restrain
Steal the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
Rebuild and suppress
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
