Track Lyrics
The Spark That Bled Lyrics
[Refrain]
I accidentally touched my head
And noticed that I had been bleeding
For how long I didn't know
[Verse 1]
What was this, I thought, that struck me?
What kind of weapons have they got?
The softest bullet ever shot
[Chorus]
I stood up and I said, yeah
I stood up and I said, yeah
I stood up and I said, hey! Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
From this moment on
Blaring like a trumpet
Coming from above us and somewhere below
The confidence of knowing
Descending to relieve us
Of the struggle to believe it's so
[Chorus]
I stood up and I said, yeah
I spoke up and I said, hey
I stood up and I said, hey! Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
And it seemed to cause a chain reaction
It had momentum, it was gaining traction
It was all the rage, it was all the fashion
The outreached hands had resigned themselves
To holding onto something that they never had
And that's too bad
Cause in reality there was no reaction
[Refrain]
I accidentally touched my head
And noticed that I had been bleeding
For how long I didn't know
Waitin’ for a Superman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I asked you a question
But I didn't need you to reply
"Is it getting heavy?"
But then I realized
[Refrain]
Is it getting heavy?
Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be
[Verse 2]
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for a Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
[Refrain]
Cause it's getting heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
[Chorus]
Tell everybody waiting for a Superman
That they should try to hold on best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything
It's just too heavy for a Superman to lift
[Refrain]
Cause it's getting heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
[Chorus]
Tell everybody waiting for a Superman
That they should try to hold on best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything
It's just too heavy for a Superman to lift
[Refrain]
Cause it's getting heavy
Well I thought it was
Already as heavy as can be
[Chorus]
Tell everybody waiting for a Superman
That they should try to hold on best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything
It's just too heavy for a Superman to lift
Feeling Yourself Disintegrate Lyrics
[Verse]
Love in our life
Is just too valuable, oh, to feel
For even a second without it
But life without death
Is just impossible, oh, to realize
Something is ending within us
[Refrain]
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
[Instrumental Outro]
Race for the Prize (Peter Mokran remix) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two scientists are racing
For the cure of all mankind
Both of them side by side
So determined
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous
But they're determined
[Chorus]
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children
[Verse 2]
Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is so high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope
Forging for the future
But to sacrifice their lives
Both of them side by side
So determined
[Chorus]
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children
