A Kiss for the Whole World Album Lyrics by Enter Shikari

A Kiss for the Whole World x

Be embraced, billions
This kiss for the whole world

Can this day last forever?
There's no sign of stormy weather
I could kidnap the sky
And pour it straight into my glass
It's time that I asked
Are you ready or do you need one more measure?
Be braced, be together

We'll be fighting on the frontline
Up on cloud nine
We're true believers
The last of the dreamers

But we're running for our lives now
And we're running for our lives
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

And we're running for our lives now
And we're running for our lives
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

And we're running for our lives now
And we're running for our lives
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

You're still standing like a statue
You stay calm when all about you
Is falling apart
Joy is a vanishing act, it's looking intact
But like you, it's just a mythical treasure
Be braced, be together

We'll be dancing on the frontline
To Symphony Number 9
Can you see us?
Nothing comes between us

And we're running for our lives now
And we're running for our lives
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

Go, go, go, go, get it
This kiss for the whole world

Get it
This kiss for the whole world

And we're running for our lives now
And we're running for our lives
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

We're running for our lives now
One last kiss
This kiss for the whole world

(pls) set me on fire

Please set me on fire

Waiting for your signal
Waiting for a sign
Looking upward
I wait for the divine
(Won't you come down? Won't you come down?)
And reify yourself?
Be my fire lily on the blackened ground

In the city
On a quiet night
You can hear us
Set ourselves alight
Oh, let me transcend
And be a flicker in your eyes
Wait for the spark
I'm no good at goodbyes

I wanna be ash in the atmosphere
Please set me on fire, set me on fire
Can you strike a match, make me disappear?
Please set me on fire, set me on fire

I'm sick of being broken
I'm sick of being bruised
I'm a quarry, deserted and disused
(Won't you come down? Won't you come down?)
And clear my state of mind?
Be my excavator and tell me what you find

In the city
On a quiet night
You can hear us
Set ourselves alight
Oh, let me transcend
And be a flicker in your eyes
Wait for the spark

Please set me on fire
Please set me on fire

I wanna be ash in the atmosphere
Please set me on fire, set me on fire
Can you strike a match, make me disappear?
Please set me on fire, set me on fire

Please set me on fire
I wanna be ash in the atmosphere
Set me on fire, set me on fire
Please set me on fire
Can you strike a match, make me disappear?
Set me on fire, set me on fire

It Hurts

It hurts
Every time we fall
But your worth (worth)
It doesn't change at all

It hurts (hurts)
Every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth)
Doesn't change at all
It doesn't change, doesn't change at all

Pigeon steps, cause and effects
We hit another wall, take another fall
Retroflex

I can detect the high pressure
Failure is an odd treasure
It powers the future endeavor
Where we take on the world together

Unless you fight the inevitable
You'll never know if it truly was
So let's fight it

It hurts (hurts)
Every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth)
It doesn't change at all (never, never)
It hurts (hurts)
Every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth)
Doesn't change at all
Doesn't change, doesn't change at all

You can't (defeat me)
You can't defeat me
You can't
You can't defeat me

Feeling frozen, forward motion
We hit another wall, take another fall
Seize the moment

Disaster ain't predetermined
Any more than love and learning
Even when cities are burning
I feel our strength returning

Unless you fight the inevitable
You'll never know if it truly was

It hurts
Every time we fall
But your worth (worth)
Doesn't change at all

It hurts (hurts)
Every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth)
It doesn't change at all (never, never)
It hurts (hurts)
Every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth)
It doesn't change at all
It doesn't change at all

Leap into the Lightning

There's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning
Leap into the lightning

Build your cities on the slopes of Etna
Feed your soul on volcanic soil
Steer your ships into the Bermuda Triangle
And bring the water to the boil

But then I have a vision, I have a vision
I'm looking out over a bad decision
The storm clouds gather, I stutter and stagger
Yeah, I hesitate

Now just sail your ships into Bermuda
And bring the water to the boil
Just sail your ships into Bermuda
And bring the water to the boil

'Cause there's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning
Yeah, there's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning (leap into the light-)

But then I have a vision, a dark premonition
I'm looking out over a bad decision
I step back and wonder, I can hear thunder
Yeah, I hesitate

Now just sail your ships into Bermuda
And bring the water to the boil
Just sail your ships into Bermuda
And bring the water to the boil

'Cause there's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning
Yeah, there's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning (leap into the light-)

There's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning
Take off and fly into a supernova
Leap into the lightning
And bring the water to the boil (get it)

And bring the water to the boil
And bring the water to the boil

Just sail your ships into Bermuda
And bring the water the boil
Just sail your ships into Bermuda
And bring the water the boil

'Cause there's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning (leap into the lightning)
Yeah, there's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning
Leap into the-

Leap into the lightning
Feed your soul
Feed your soul
(Just feed your soul)
(Feed your soul on volcanic soil)

Dead Wood

She looked busy
Scrolling herself to death
I guess she had nothing left
But desire, desire

Teardrops in coffee
Lying there in his bed
Sharpening her arrowhead
Please set me on fire, on fire

Am I no good?
Am I made of wood?
Am I just dead wood?
Am I just dead wood?

Geppetto, my friend
Can you not see the cracks?
A wooden heart split with an axe
And desire, desire

Am I no good?
Am I made of wood?
Am I just dead wood?
Am I just dead wood?

And after all that we're strangers again
I'll never intertwine
I'll never depend on you or anyone new
When nothing is true (true, true, true)

I'm a dovetail joint
Without a f*cking point
You'll leave with a splinter
Just use me for tinder
And set me on fire
I miss the unbearable weight of tenderness

I want to feel the way you feel
I want to feel the way you feel
I wish I could feel the way you feel
I long to feel the way you feel, I

I want to feel the way you feel
I want to feel the way you feel
I wish I could feel the way you feel
I long to feel the way you feel, I

I want to feel the way you feel
I want to feel the way you feel
I wish I could feel the way you feel
I long to feel the way you feel, I

I want to feel the way you feel
I want to feel the way you feel
I wish I could feel the way you feel
I long to feel the way you feel, I

Jailbreak

'Cause you know, I, I don't wanna be held captive
By my own opinion of myself, do ya know what I mean?
By my own idea of who I am (lights out)

Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak
And we'll be prisoners on the run
Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak
And we'll be prisoners on the run together

We'll be prisoners together
Prisoners on the run, together
We'll be prisoners together
Prisoners on the run, together

Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak
And we'll be prisoners on the run
I hope I keep hope intact, I hope

I won't be held captive
By my own idea of who I am
I won't be held captive
By my own opinion of myself

I won't be held captive
Even when my mind is a prison cell
I won't be held captive
Wish I was back at the dreamer's hotel

Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak
And we'll be prisoners on the run together

We'll be prisoners together
Prisoners on the run, together
We'll be prisoners together
Prisoners on the run, together

Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak
And we'll be prisoners on the run

Repeat these words after me
We've got to be free
We've got to be free now
You can steal the master key
And be who you wanna be
And be who you wanna be, now

Now I'm lying wide awake (I hope I keep hope intact)
I'll mastermind a jailbreak (I hope I keep hope intact)
And we'll be prisoners on the run (I hope I keep hope intact)

So yeah, question everything
Including your own beliefs
And especially your own beliefs about yourself
Inside of you there's a revolution
Waiting to happen if you pick the lock of your cell block
And just breathe, breathe

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Keep on running
Keep on running

I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope in-

I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope intact
I hope I keep hope in-

Bloodshot

Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
Manipulate and hypnotize
Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
(Three, two, one, sleep)

Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
Manipulate and hypnotize
Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
(Three, two, one) hypnotize

They say follow your heart, which is bad advice
When it's been broken in two, now it's compromised
I've lost sight of what is real
And now you're going under

My eyes are bloodshot (they're bloodshot)
And I've seen it all before (all before)
This film, it won't stop (it won't stop)
And through your lens the world is an eyesore

Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
Manipulate and hypnotize
Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
(Three, two, one) hypnotize

Oh god, I can't remove all these filters
There in my field of vision
Now it's compromised
I've lost sight of what is real

Oh, it's right there, before your eyes
For all to see, the greatest of lies
Have you noticed I'm a hypnotist?
Have you noticed that you're going under?

My eyes are bloodshot (bloodshot)
And I've seen it all before (all before)
This film, it won't stop (won't stop)
And through your lens the world is an eyesore

I can hear the echoes, gliding over black holes
I can see the future, I can hear you calling out
My eyes are bloodshot (bloodshot)
And through your lens the world is an eyesore

My eyes are bloodshot, are bloodshot
I don't wanna lose everything we got
This film, it won't stop, it won't stop

(Three, two, one) hypnotize

My eyes are bloodshot (bloodshot)
I've seen it all before (all before)
This film, it won't stop (won't stop)
And through your lens the world is an eyesore

My eyes are bloodshot (bloodshot)
I've seen it all before (all before)
This film, it won't stop (won't stop)
And through your lens the world is an eyesore

goldfĭsh ~

I operate through space and time
I infiltrate every part of your mind
Under my influence
I'm completely subliminal
I'm bigger than biblical
I propel every criminal

Still, silent, sterile, desolate and rippleless
Know that you're powerless
Can you get a grip on this?
Saddle up and grapple with it
Know that I will shackle, impede, and paralyze those that battle with it

Come a little closer to me
Have you figured it, figured it out?
Come a little closer to me

You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl

You think this water is limitless?
It's stagnant and spiritless
There's no music, just tinnitus
Jesus ain't gonna save you
He's a shit multitasker
But I can send you to slaughter whilst I moonwalk on water

Come a little closer to me
Have you figured it, figured it out?
Come a little closer to me

Gotta find a way to be free
Can you figure it, figure it out?
Gotta find a way to be free

You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are a goldfish

You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl

Are you starting to believe it?
Are you starting to justify your situation?
Are you starting to believe it?
When people feel powerless they will rarely resist

Resist
Resist
Resist
When people feel powerless they will rarely resist

Trapped in a feedback loop
Got me feeling like I'm swimming through soup
Got me feeling like a I need to cut loose

You are under my control
You are a goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish
I am the bowl

You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish

You are the goldfish
You are the goldfish
You are the goldfish
You're just a f*cking goldfish

Giant Pacific Octopus (i don't know you anymore)

(I'm a chameleon)
I'm a chameleon
Nah, that's a bit pedestrian
I'm more like a giant Pacific octopus
Coming in for the kill

I don't wanna make a scene
But I'm changing from red to green
And I dance to the rhythm of a new identity
I'm doing it for the thrill

But tell me
Does anybody even really have a clue
Who they really are?
Does anybody even really have a clue?

I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
Or maybe I never did?
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will

I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
Or maybe I never did?
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will

I went to live outside to find myself
But when I found truth, it was something else
There was a whole collection of characters there
I couldn't help but stare

So if you're looking for personality over looks
That bodes well for me
'Cause I've got twenty or thirty at my disposal

Does anybody even really have a clue
Who they really are?
Does anybody even really have a clue?

I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
Or maybe I never did?
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will

I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
Or maybe I never did?
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will

I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
Or maybe I never did?
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will

giant pacific octopus swirling off into infinity...

I don't (I don't)
I don't (I don't)
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will
Yeah, maybe I never did
And maybe I never will
Yeah, maybe I never did
