Favorite God Machine lyric (in no particular order) :

• Why do all the things have to change just when they mean the most (12)
• What do you do when you feel like you're living a lie (9)
• And she said life could be painless I'm sorry but that's not what I've found
• Can't you see that I still believe that as long you dream some things will always be
• I still believe - that as long as you dream - some things will always be
• I wanna go where the sun goes
• Why is your sky always so much bluer than mine (3)
• And you said that life could be painless, and I'm sorry but it's not what I found (6)
• I sit in the company of kings, that speak of their riches - freely.
• I wish I was a flower, blowing in the wind
• You give me fever
• Please don't poison me with your bitterness (3)
• Cut myself cause I can't see the beauty, feel myself because I can't see the light tell myself that I do not deserve this, i'm just a simple man
• If I show you the pain, will you show me the purity... ? (2)
• All the bad things are in my mind
• I stand dead in the centre with nothing at all but a head full of shit
• All love slowly fades while we refuse change (2)
• I see a man on the corner- preaching of his god (2)
• Sell myself to send me down the money river
• ... and stare in your dream machine
• Are you lost ?
• I wish I could fly
• If I show you the scars, will you show me yours, it's the same all over
• Hide yourself less someone will steal it hide your love hide your love sunday velvet
• See what you see but don`t say that you see it, hide yourself less someone will... (2)
• Have you ever held something beautiful and know that it will eventually die ? (4)
• The world's at your feet, but because of your beauty gestures are shallow
• Let me out (2)
• Ego is beast, ego is evil, but ego knows best, at least he says so
• I stare out the window and it`s cold ; I think god I must be getting old
• If i show you the truth, will you show me the beauty ? (3)
• Do you live far away ? Sometimes it's hard to say
• There's a place ...
• It's the same all over (2)
• Talk to yourself, listen because noone else will (2)
• I wish I was a stone in that castle wall so I could be a thousand years old and a hundred feet tall
• And what if was to cut my wrist and paint pictures on the wall. Would you see ?
• A true Hunter weeps at a merciless killing ... gestures are shallow
• If your walls should ever come falling I'll understand because mine already have
• All of my life been trying to deny these things inside
• Kill kill kill burn the crosses
• And if I should doubt you, just give that doubt time
• Daddy said faggot fight like a man
• And if you see me, with my face against the wall, don't stop
• All I am is all I am
• I'm a wayward soldier, on my way
• You can paint your sky any color it's all up to you
• Kill, kill, kill
• Someone will always hurt you
• With my back up against the wall
• Talk to your imaginary friends
• And if you see me with my face up against the wall, well don't stop to talk
• You can make excuses for everything
• All things come and go, this we know
• Or maybe you've seen someone somewhere before that I might have loved if i'd never loved you but you only see me in bad dreams
• Black car wrong side of the road saying look out Jack we're taking him home to his promise land

Favorite Sophia lyric (in no particular order) :

• There's nothing like a long walk on a rainy night
• Maybe I should lie and say 'everything is ok' (3)
• Is it any wonder that to me love has no meaning
• ... Is it because we don't see life the same way ...
• Oh I try to understand, but I just hurt you instead (2)
• Is this what happiness is like ?
• Death comes so slow when it's all you want (2)
• I think I lost another friend today, he said ...
• I walk across the road and the duke opens his door ...
• I try to close my eyes but I'm afraid of the dark, I see you everywhere (2)
• The death comes so slow (2)
• No I'll never let you see me undress (2)
• Death comes so slow when you're waiting to be taken (3)
• Death comes so slow when you're waiting to be taken ... and it takes the ones that don't
• I wanted life to be confirmed by your smile
• I'm only happy when you're sad (2)
• I'll never let you see me undress
• Is there something wrong with me ?
• I can't believe the things I can't believe (2)
• I say goodbye to some people that I think I know
• I've got to get away from what I know
• I spend my time pushing away the ones I love
• You think you've got me all figured out
• I think I lost another friend today, is it because we don't see life the same way ?
• I pray I'm not alone when I die
• *white hallway*
• *another friend*
• *so slow
• *going to the river
• *last night i had a dream*
• *is it any wonder* (2)
• *when you're sad
• *woman*
