The Juliana Theory - "Emotion Is Dead" (TN1174)
1. Into The Dark
Dad, your boy is about to
fall.
He walks
the razor's edge.
He's on the brink of fading out.
He's at his bitter
end.
Dad, your boy who used to run, you taught him how to crawl.
He left home to find his own, now all he had is gone.
In your eyes I
see a darkness that torments you
and in your head where it dwells.
I'd
give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it.
Let's walk away from
this hell.
Mom, your baby is on his way.
He'll soon be at your side.
Cause he's forgotten all he's known.
A part of him has died.
Mom may
never understand why baby's come and gone.
He left home to find his
own, now all he has are lies.
In your eyes I
see a darkness that torments you
and in your head where it dwells.
I'd
give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it.
Let's walk away from
this hell.
2. Don't Push Love Away
Here's a thought,
if you're willing to listen.
I only tell the truth of the feelings I'm given.
Can you hear me
now? Listen.
Whispers in the rain. Listen.
Don't
push love away, you know you do.
It's all we have.
It's a chore holding
onto a vision.
Don't leave her high and dry.
She's the one you'll be missing.
Can you hear me now?
Listen.
Whispers in the rain, while you're awake.
Don't push love away, you know you do.
It's all we have.
I hate to think
hesitation's a burden.
A bittersweet design for a lesson you're learning.
Can you hear me now? Listen.
Whispers in the rain, while you're awake.
Don't push love away, you know you do.
It's all we have.
She's
crying, she's crying.
She's crying, she's crying.
Can you feel me now this time?
Whispers in the rain, lying awake.
Don't push love
away, you know you do.
It's all you have.
Can you
hear me now this time?
Whispers in the rain, lying awake.
Don't push love
away, you know you do.
It's all we have.
Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen.
3. To The Tune Of 5,000 Screaming Children
We knew you'd hate
this before we wrote it.
So listen up, we're telling you before you tell us.
We're not misinformed or
misdirected,
functioning on your subjective.
Your hatred only fuels us on.
Now how about a word or two on you?
You're
an alias, an e-mail address.
We lay alot more out than you do.
We won't
be part of your revolution.
So listen up, we're telling you this is a business.
We're not misinformed or misdirected.
We'll make our own insurrection.
So keep on publishing our wrongs.
Now how about a word or two on you?
You're
a paper fist, a faceless attack.
We're not about to break like you do.
We're not misinformed or
misdirected,
functioning on your subjective.
Your hatred only fuels us on.
4. We're At The Top Of The World (To The Simple Two)
We're at the top of the
world, you and
I.
We've got alot of time and it sure feels right.
Cause you reached
in your pocket and pulled out a pass that says
you can take me
anywhere.
Sha la la la. Sha la la la la la la.
We're on the top of the world,
here tonight.
We've got alot of time and it sure feels right.
Cause
I'm up here running behind you.
I'm up here running in repeat.
Sha la la la. Sha la la la la la la.
We're at the top of the
world, you and
I.
We've got alot of time and it sure feels right.
Cause you reached
in your pocket and pulled out a pass that says
you can take me
anywhere.
Sha la la la. Sha la la la la la la.
5. Is Patience Still Waiting?
Will there ever
be time enough?
Or are we just too naive?
I haven't just given up.
Oh God,
I still believe.
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Are you laughing at us today?
And is this just one big game?
Now cash me
in while you can.
We never were the same.
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Come on.
Will you ever have all
you want?
And are we just next in line?
Don't throw out your one good chance.
You only have this time.

7. If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop?
Watch
your mouth.
Hold your tongue boy.
Because you're running out of breath,
running
out of time before every careless word that you utter,
renders you utterly
useless.
Now you're drowning in your own saliva.
Trying to speak yourself to the
top of your empty world.
Keep on talking. Just keep on rambling.
You've got
your mouth full.
Listen here's the pleasant part:
you and I, we fell apart.
Why can't you make up your mind?
Shut your mouth.
Burn your bridges.
Throw your words
like an attack and stab me in the wait a second, wait a second, what's that I just heard?
Never mind
it's obviously worthless.
Now you're standing on your soapbox, yelling from the
rooftops.
Everything you say is a lie.
Listen, here's the clever one
who speaks
before his thoughts are done.
Listen, here's the clever one
who speaks
before he thinks.
Why can't you make up your mind?
Watch your mouth.
Hold your tongue.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Now I hope you're pleased.
You let your pride stand tall.
It danced within your words.
Right before your fall.
Right before you.
Why don't you say that to my face?
I've had ripped down (torn down) so many things.
Every thing you, every time you, every word you say.
If I told you this was killing me, would you
stop?
8. We're Nothing Without You
You took away all my
anger.
We put away
all your pride.
Now you're gone, it's plain to see we're nothing.
Now
you're as the solitude of space is.
We took it all away from you.
You'd
like to think you made us.
We took it all away, away.
You let us know
that we are nothing.
You took away all our pleasure.
We took away all
your pain.
Now we're gone it's plain to see you're nothing.
Now you're
as the solitude of space is.
We took it all away from you.
You'd
like to think you made us.
We took it all away, away.
You let us know
that we are nothing.
We're nothing without you.
(What you want
is what you get.)
We took it all away from you.
You'd
like to think you made us.
We took it all away, away.
You let us know
that we are nothing.
9. Something Isn't Right Here
Something isn't right
here.
You've gone
and left me on the ground.
Something isn't right in this world called
confusion.
You gave it all away before you could lose it.
Something
isn't right here on the ground.
On the ground.
You never said goodbye.
You died.
You
chose to carry on a lie.
Something isn't right here.
You've gone and
left me on the ground.
Something isn't right in this world called
confusion.
You gave it all away before you could lose it.
Something
isn't right here on the ground.
On the ground.
10. Understand The Dream Is Over
Here is my new
disposition.
You're about
to understand.
Our theory's only obvious to the skeptical, and at the
bitter end.
You're staring at a white page and the print is plain to
see.
Now turn the page and read what's written.
It's your history.
Do
you understand?
The dream is over.
You haven't slept in years.
Don't
be looking for answers.
You're better following trails.
You're staring
at a black screen.
Your body starts to tense.
When two plus two is five
or less it's time to question common sense.
Silence is a secret, a weapon
in disguise.
Listen to the silence.
Open up your eyes.
Do
you understand?
The dream is over.
You haven't slept in years.
Don't
be looking for answers.
You're better following trails.
Do you decide
what you hear and believe?
Tell me who makes your mind up for you.
Do
you believe what you see to be true?
Can you tell me who owns the
truth?
Who bought the truth?
(What is your disposition?)
Here is my new
disposition.
You're about to understand.
Our theory is only obvious to the skeptical
and at the bitter end.
11. This Is Your Life
Baby,
baby, baby,
you
say, "This is your life, well
where is mine?"
How you gonna get there
running nowhere? Burn yourself
out. Die too soon.
You see the world is only temporary. Everybody's
scared that they'll be no one too.
Baby,
baby, baby,
you
say, "This is your life, well
where is mine?"
How you gonna hold out when
you sold out? Life's a riddle. Here's a clue.
You see, a moment's only
temporary. Let too many go, and you'll be history too.
"Why?"
You
ask me.
"Why?" I'll tell you.
"Why?" I will tell
you.
You gave
up, baby.
Baby,
baby, baby,
you
say, "This is your life, well
where is mine?"
Where is mine?
12. You Always Say Goodnight, Goodnight
Did you really think
that it was over when you hung up the phone and said goodnight?
And did
you ever think that it'd be too much?
I can't leave without saying goodbye.
So did you really think that you could take
it?
Could you make
it alone tonight?
I never could have hoped for anything more.
Be my angel
if you can, alright.
You always say goodnight, and you always say goodnight.
So baby did you sleep an hour for me?
How I wish I was there right now.
I wasn't going to tell you I could change things.
I'm afraid I never will
know how.
But I don't really think that I can take it.
Will I make it alone
somehow?
So hold me in your arms before I leave you.
I'll be back as soon
as time allows.
You always say goodnight, and you always say goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
You always say goodnight.
What you want is what you get.
