"Seja nas suas estruturas internas como no próprio alinhamento, as músicas articulam-se com um refinamento que só existe quando as primeiras são criadas com a mesma medida de paixão e experiência. E o álbum corre e não se sente peça fora do sítio, os loops existem e, elegantemente, não soam a loops — soam a banda completa —, há espaço para a tensão (Bloody Tongue, Downtown ou Ground People), para os lamentos talvez dolorosos, talvez estoicos (Coward e Baby I Don’t Feel So Well), para a sedução, mais ou menos excitada (Voices in Your Head ou The Sheep) e para a frescura (If You Ruled the World e, especialmente, It’s You) — tudo isto equilibrado, por vezes dançável, por vezes depressivo, por vezes feliz, por vezes sóbrio, outras tantas, não, por vezes a caminhar pela cidade enquanto luta por evitar um cigarro à socapa depois de anunciado ao mundo ter desistido e, de vez em quando, sentado num banco sem saber para onde ir. E sempre humano, profundamente humano." [menotlesterbangs]

Track Name: If You Ruled The World
If you ruled the world there would be no one to fear
If you ruled the world there would be no one to steal from
If you ruled the world there would be nothing to worry about
If you ruled the world
.
All would be so clean
Everyone would be so polite
It's like when we were 17
Baby wouldn't it feel so right
.
If you ruled the world there would be no need for changes
If you ruled the world there would be nothing to die for
If you ruled the world there would be no need for revolutions
If you ruled the world
.
All would be so clean
Everyone would be so polite
It's like when we were 17
Baby wouldn't it feel so right
.
If you ruled the world there would be no one to love
Track Name: Coward
I was born and raised a coward
like the ones that came before
it should be easy to grow out of it
but a coward is exactly what I was
.
taking comfort in self-pity
indulging lies about myself
now I'm heading to the graveyard
faster than everyone else
.
there's still time to change the settings
there's still time to grow a tree
time to paint another portrait
so time won't get back at me
.
But I was born and raised a coward
like the ones that came before
it should be easy to grow out of it
but a coward is exactly what I was
Track Name: Bloody Tongue
The farmer said "the lady was nice
She totally deserved a Nobel Prize"
He wanted the whole world to know
.
The lady said "you're such a kind man
With such a kind soul
Can you take a small gesture to repay
For the kindness of your words"
But then she kissed him goodbye
And brought his bloody tongue
.
And the farmer spoke no more
Track Name: Downtown
We're going downtown to try to feel better
We're going downtown cuz everyone will be there too
We're going downtown to make up for our boring lives
We're going downtown cuz uptown there's nothing to do
.
We're going downtown we don't want to be alone with ourselves
We're going downtown to meet our other half
We're going downtown cuz we're tired of masturbating
We're going downtown to have a story to tell
.
We're going downtown cuz daemons are friendlier when we're drunk
We're going downtown cuz it's easier to find gigs when they're drunk
We're going downtown cuz we feel so much closer when we're high
We're going downtown but we know it's all a lie
.
And we feel so safe
Until we get back
Track Name: Baby I Don't Feel So Well
You, nobody else but you
It's you and everyone around
You
.
And every time you second guess
And dream of diamond safety nets
We're through
.
Complaints will only bring you down
But silence is screaming so
Loud
.
I'm fading out
Freezing in Hell
.
Baby, I don't feel so well
Track Name: The Sheep
I'll do whatever you tell me to
I'll follow every step you take
I'll trust all of your mistakes
Because you know me
.
I'll go wherever you want me to
I'll stand behind all your commands
I'll be there if you tell me to
Because you know me
.
I'll be whoever you need me to
Like a sheep I'll always stand next to you
Like a sheep I'll answer to no one but you
And fear nothing but your censoring hand
Because you know me
Track Name: Voices In Your Head
Run run
Run against clock
They will never tell you when to stop
.
Burn burn
Burn your childish dreams
They will never tell you what they mean
.
Fight fight
Fight against your gods
They won't teach you how to beat the odds
.
And lay down
But always be awake
They will never tell you how to fake it
.
They will never have your back
And they never lose control
.
Time time
Time is running late
They will never tell when to wait
.
Run run
Hide your children's guns
But they will never tell you where they're made
.
Try again
Try the best you can
They will never teach you to survive
.
Go away
Find another place to stay
But they will never tell you when to hide
.
It's just voices in your head
But they speak so loud
Track Name: Ground People
They'll offer the hardest
The strongest of shields
They'll promise the richest
The wealthiest of reigns
They'll ask you to join them
Politely but firmly
If you stay on the ground
But I feel like jumping
At least while I can
.
Always predicting
Always preventing
Most of times
They have no regrets
They're always in this world
And on top of it all
.
They'll offer the hardest
The strongest of shields
They'll promise the richest
The wealthiest of reigns
They'll ask you to join them
Politely but firmly
If you stay on the ground
But I feel like jumping
.
You can always join them whenever you want
It will be easier to go through
Unless you're still dreaming
.
They'll offer the hardest
The strongest of shields
They'll promise the richest
The wealthiest of reigns
They'll ask you to join them
Politely but firmly
If you stay on the ground
But I feel like jumping
At least while I can
Track Name: It's You
I know I'm supposed to let you go
I'm really trying hard to do it
But everywhere I go
It's odd, but I seem to find you there
.
It's you in the dark
And it's you in the river
And it's you in the park
And it's you in the mirror
It's you at the disco
And it's you in my bed
It's you
You're everyone I run into
.
I know I'm supposed to let you go
But I don't think I can
Cuz you're ghosts and dunes
And meaningless tunes
And the the dust of you
Is falling everywhere
Time should be able to number it
And tell you not to fear
Closure is near
Brand new tunes may lick my wounds
But old ghosts never dissapear
.
It's you in the dark
And it's you in the river
And it's you in the park
And it's you in the mirror
It's you at the disco
And it's you in my bed
It's you
You're everyone I run into
