ENGINE - Lyrics
1. Gods 'til Dawn
Down by the lake in the summer
Chillin' with some good friends of mine
Fending off the heat with some treats and alcohol
Everybody's feelin' fine.
​
Oh yeah. We're feeling fine. Oh yeah.
The weather's still and sticky
Sweat drips out of every pore
When dusk falls we'll still be swimmin' round and getting drunk
The incoming night won't frighten us at all
​
'Cause we're immortal
Yeah, we're immortal
'Cause we're immortal
Yeah, we're immortal
We're Gods 'til dawn
​
Ooh. Ahh. Eyy.
The world keeps spinnin' upside down
My body's limp and my legs are bound
We have a few drinks and then we feel immortal
Fuckin' invincible
Like Gods...
'til the morning comes
'Cause we're immortal
Yeah, we're immortal
'Cause we're immortal
Yeah, we're immortal
We're Gods 'til dawn
We're Gods 'til dawn
We're Gods 'til dawn
We're Gods 'til dawn
Wahoo.
2. Wake Up And Breathe
Wake up and breathe
See the change we need
Wake up and breathe deep
'Cause life is calling me
Come with me, we'll watch the sunrise
We'll drive down to the ocean
And watch the waves crash in all night long
Until the dark is done
​
When the glowing God of fire
Shows on the horizon
I'll hold your hand and you'll hold mine
As we wonder at its rising
​
A warm breeze stands the hairs on end
Senses in overdrive
Wake up, open your eyes
take a breath and feel alive
​
Skin kissed by everything
we missed for so many years
Let the joy sweep through our bodies
forgetting all our fears
In this moment
In this moment
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe in this moment
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe in this moment
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe in this moment
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe in this moment
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe
Wake up and breathe, breathe, breathe
Wake up and breathe
3. In Plain Sight
​
I can't do this anymore
Wasting days with my head sore
Wasting nights in a wooden hole
Showing every stranger my soul
​
I sit down and hide my fear
I see them smile from ear to ear
And I wish it was me instead
But I won't let them see inside my head
Woo!
​
Fuck you
Get down with your bad motherfucking self
I said get down
With your bad motherfucking self
Touch the floor with yo' ass
Yeah!
​
I don't got no time for losers
Which is kinda hypocritical
Oh yeah
I'm hiding in plain sight
Sight
Sight
5. The State of The State
​
The chimney stacks are lonely
reaching out of sight
On this foggy English night
​
The distant hum of engines
tease and taunt my ears
Whispering my fears
​
You've never seen such beauty
in something so annoyed
A dream long destroyed
​
The tracks are long abandoned
left to shape the weeds
They still have their needs
​
They watch you bleed
The taste of sulphur
The smell of greed
​
They make our vaccine
They stop all disease
They fight til there's peace
They give us the means
We stitch at the seams
They give us our dreams
They show us their news
They watch us on their avenues
​
We're always watching you
4. Pursuit
​
Sneak with me into the trees, I'll make our night worthwhile
I'll plant something deep inside of you that will bring a smile
To your face in your darkest hours, how I wish it would
I'd do anything to change our fate if I could
​
These demons
These demons
These demons dance
These demons
​
These demons cut like diamonds through this air
Riding machines of despair
Fight nor flight will save us now
I can't keep watching you fall down on and on
​
Three long years I'll wait for you, I'd wait a whole lifetime
Until the day you're ready to let me in and make you mine
We can stare them down, one by one, I'll never leave you alone
Face to face we'll set you free, once the seeds are sewn
​
These demons
These demons
These demons dance
​
These demons cut like diamonds through this air
Riding machines of despair
Fight nor flight will save us now
I can't keep watching you fall down on and on
​
Will you dream of me, your head full of lust?
Wrestling silently, just the two of us...
​
Underneath the moonlight, put your arms around me
Sway from side to side, you've never felt so free
Brief though it may last, you're always on my mind
We can't be together right now, but one day
One day...
It goes on and on and on and on...
​
These demons won't stop talking
These demons won't stop talking
These demons want to dance, so let's dance
​
These demons cut like diamonds through this air
Riding machines of despair
Fight nor flight will save us now
I won't keep watching you fall down
​
I'll always be here and by your side when you want me
We've been through too much to give up
And I know it's hard to stop them but I'll try to bring the lights up
We'll break them up
We'll tear them up
We'll lift you up
And dance, and we'll dance, and we'll dance
​
We're separated by circumstance but I won't stop until we can dance
No.
​
Go!
6. The Race
​
The thrill of the chase
Turn the wheel
Change gear
The engine sings
​
So hold on, or just hold me
Got my foot to the floor
I don't think you could ask any more
Stay with me
My entire existence I'm going the distance
​
Black and white
I see the end
Broken brains
The angels sing
​
So hold on, or just hold me
Got my foot to the floor
I don't think you could ask any more
Stay with me
My entire existence I'm going the distance with you
​
I dunno what to do, I've fallen for you
I've gotta end this feud, I should make the move
Shift gear, turn the wheel
Sight, taste, smell and feel
I don't know what to do
Flying through the air with a bad attitude
7. Conversations
​
Hello, do you know me? I'm always hanging out 'round here
No, you won't see me, I make sure that I'm not near eno-
ugh of me talking, what is it that you do?
I'm not interested in your words. Just show me what you do.
What are you? Why do you exist?
What is it that you live for, and are you worth a risk?
​
So show me, I need some proof
Oh save me, with your truth
Now help me so I can understand
I'm asking you to show me 'cause I don't believe your plan
I don't believe you can
I don't believe you can
​
I don't believe, I don't believe
I don't believe I don't believe
​
I dont believe I don't believe
I don't believe, I don't believe
​
Hell yeah, help me, I don't believe, I don't believe
Hell yeah, help me
8. Euphoria
Hey, man oh, my life so low
No man know my pain before
No man been aware o' me
No man seen the way I' been
​
From the bottom of the barrel to the gutter
I've been getting around lately
From ditch to ditch to the halfway house
Nobody gave a damn about me
But I see now, there was a reason
why I was as low as down gets
If you start with it all you have nothing to work for
You build yourself up, there's no regrets
I'll never again let my will bend
It'll be worth it in the end
I'll be grateful when I ascend
I'll remember and comprehend
Oh, I'll remember (yeah yeah yeah)
Yeah, I'll remember (yeah yeah)
(nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)
​
I've been waiting all my life for this moment
​
Let's go!
​
The pain (the pain)
The fear (the fear)
The suffering and despair
I'll take it all for a moment of euphoria
Euphoria!
​
Euphoria
Euphoria!
​

9. The Signal Tower
​
Symbols and glyphs ahead
I try to remember what I read
The lights went out and now I
hear a signal that will disappear
​
Here I am floating in a tin can
Contemplating what it is to be man
What it is to be destroyed
in this never ending void
Of love
and hope
and faith
I'm near but I can only find my way here because
The signal tower lied
​
Symbols and glyphs are dead
I try to remember what I said
The lights went out and now I
fear a signal that will reappear
​
Here I am floating without a plan
Contemplating how it all began
Of what it is to be annoyed
in this never ending void
Of love
And hope
And faith
I'm near but I can only find my way here because
The signal tower lied
The signal tower died
The signal tower lied
The signal tower died
​
Guide me home
Guide me home
​
I don't know where I'm supposed to go but I'm floating
Towards the never ending vastness of the end
​
The signal tower calls out my name
