A room filled with blood
And the time folding in on itself
But there's no other place I'd rather be
Now I am the law, the police by this motherfucker
But no one's really listening to me
Billions in the wishing well
Investment in a hope
It's you won't be a danger to yourself
The devil compels you to be unbelievable
This is entertainment, the calm before the storm
Halfway through the line I celebrate the absent side/sign
But answer you and all I did is beg an extra life
The pencil straws are bedroom walls the house it didn't have
But I have no apology, a fool stuck in the mine
There's nothing to be gained from never being afraid
The terrors they come nightly
It's a riot of the mind
It started from the second you drew breath
Close the panic tightly unless you know that you're alive
You've ended up where you cannot believe
Now I can't change direction
And I can't change my mind
Always running on empty and I'm cruel just to be kind
Pressure-paint to entertain, it's [?] in the sparse
You and I are thick as these, now let's blow this place apart
Thirty years you'll turn around and see the shape is gone
But if there is another side there I'll be looking on
Through the television I don't need a hug or lake[?] (ache?)
Through tiny things the bastards burdening my name
Welcome the atrocity not all ripped as this one
It won't turn eyes to find/fight in you the strength to carry on
There's nothing to be gained from never being afraid
And the time folding in on itself
But there's no other place I'd rather be
Now I am the law, the police by this motherfucker
But no one's really listening to me
Investment in a hope
It's you won't be a danger to yourself
The devil compels you to be unbelievable
This is entertainment, the calm before the storm
But answer you and all I did is beg an extra life
The pencil straws are bedroom walls the house it didn't have
But I have no apology, a fool stuck in the mine
There's nothing to be gained from never being afraid
It's a riot of the mind
It started from the second you drew breath
Close the panic tightly unless you know that you're alive
You've ended up where you cannot believe
And I can't change my mind
Always running on empty and I'm cruel just to be kind
Pressure-paint to entertain, it's [?] in the sparse
You and I are thick as these, now let's blow this place apart
But if there is another side there I'll be looking on
Through the television I don't need a hug or lake[?] (ache?)
Through tiny things the bastards burdening my name
Welcome the atrocity not all ripped as this one
It won't turn eyes to find/fight in you the strength to carry on
There's nothing to be gained from never being afraid

These are the correct lyrics according to the imprint of Vinyl release:
A room filled with blood And the time folding in on itself But there's no other place I'd rather be Now I am the law, the police, the baddest motherfucker But no one's really listening to me
Billions in the wishing well Investment in a hope It's you won't be a danger to yourself The devil that compels you to be unbelievable This is entertainment, a calm before the storm
Halfway down the line I celebrate, the end's in sight But enter you and all I did is beg an extra life The pencil scrawls, the bedroom walls, the head's a-getting higher But I have no authority, a fool stuck in the mire There's nothing to be gained from never being afraid
The terrors they come nightly It's a riot of the mind They started from the second you drew breath Clutch the panic tightly, it lets you know that you're alive You've ended up where you cannot believe
Now I can't change direction And I can't change my mind Always running on empty and I'm cruel just to be kind Pleasure pain to entertain, it's written in the stars You and I are thick as thieves, now let's blow this place apart
Thirty years you'll turn around and see the shape is gone But if there is another side know I'll be looking on Through the television or the mirror or the lake Or through tiny veins the vessels boiling in my name Welcome the atrocity not it does is wrong It multiplies the fire in you the strength to carry on There's nothing to be gained from never being afraid
