Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated. Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated. Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to. Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.
Come home, come home, come home, come home.
Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane. Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain. Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away. Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday.
Come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home.
Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it. Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too. Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.
Come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home

Sucker love is heaven sent You pucker up our passion's spent My heart's a tart your body's rent My body's broken yours is bent
Carve your name into my arm Instead of stressed I lie here charmed Cuz there's nothing else to do Every me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose No other box I choose to use Another love I would abuse No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come Too much poison come undone Cuz there's nothing else to do Every me and every you Every me and every you Every me...
Sucker love is known to swing Prone to cling and waste these thing Pucker up for heaven's sake There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate It's only comfort, calling late Cuz there's nothing else to do Every me and every you Every me and every you Every me
Every me and every you Every me...
Like the naked leads the blind I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind Sucker love I always find Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time There's nothing here but what here's mine Something borrowed, something blue Every me and every you Every me and every you Every me...

The light divining, the light defining, the light divining, the light deviding

Run away from all your boredom Run away from all your whoredom and wave Your worries, and cares, goodbye All it takes is one decision A lot of guts, a little vision to wave Your worries, and cares goodbye
It's a maze for rats to try (x2) It's a race, a race for rats A race for rats to die It's a race, a race for rats A race for rats to die
Sick and tired of Maggie's farm She's a bitch, with broken arms to wave Your worries, and cares, goodbye

I hold an image of the ashtray girl As the cigarette burns on my chest I wrote a poem that described her world That put my friendship to the test And late at night Whilst on all fours She used to watch me kiss the floor What's wrong with this picture What's wrong with this picture Farewell the ashtray girl Forbidden snowflake Beware this troubled world Watch out for earthquakes Goodbye to open sores To broken centre floor We know we miss her We miss her picture Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated For fear of growing old Farewell the ashtray girl Angelic fruitcake Beware this troubled world Control your intake Goodbye to open sores Goodbye and furthermore We know we miss her We miss her picture Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated For fear of growing old Hang on Though we try It's gone Hang on Though we try It's gone Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated For fear of growing old Can't stop growing old Can't stop growing old Can't stop growing old Can't stop growing old Can't stop growing old
The sea's evaporated Though it comes as no surprise These clouds we're seeing Their explosions in the sky It seems it's written But we can't read between the line
Hush It's okay Dry your eye Dry your eye Soulmate dry your eye Dry your eye Soulmate dry your eye Cause soulmates never die
This one world vision Turns us in to compromise What good's religion When it's each other we despise Damn the government Damn the killing Damn the lies
Hush It's okay Dry your eyes Dry your eyes Soulmate dry your eyes Dry your eyes Soulmate dry your eyes Cause soulmates never die
Soulmates never die Never die Soulmates never die Never die... Soulmates never die Soulmates never die Soulmates never die Soulmates never die
Since we're feeling so anesthetised In our comfort zone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home We're running out of alibis From the second of May Reminds me of the summer time On this winter's day
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end Every step we take that's synchronized Every broken bone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home You shower me with lullabies As you're walking away Reminds me that it's killing time On this fateful day
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end From the time we intercepted Feels more like suicide See you at the bitter end

일본 공연 가다가 들리는 거겠지만 음반도 얼마 안 팔리고 공연장 상태도 후진 한국을 빼놓지 않고 와준다고 하니 고맙다. 감사하다.
관객들 상태(?)가 마음에 들었나보다. 이 관객들이 플라시보 음반 사주는 한국의 모든 관객일듯-_-ㅋ
저번 내한 공연 못가서 마음에 맺혀 있었는데 이번에 또 와주시니 흑흑.......
근데 난 플라시보가 이케 인기...

최고의 밴드와 사랑하는 밴드는 다르다.
어떤 밴드를 두고 최고라고 말하는 건,
그들은 무한히 동경한다는 뜻이다.
나에게 최고의 밴드는 라디오 헤드와 크림슨 킹이다.
신이 만약 나에게 그런 음악을 만들 천재성을 줄 테니
일주일 안으로 죽으라고 한다면,
난 기꺼이 그럴 수 있다.
어떤 밴드를 두고 사랑한다고 말하는 건,
그들이 내 일부라는 뜻이다.
플라시보와 앨리스 인 체인스가 나에게 그런 밴드다.
신이 만약......
가짜와 함께하는 황홀한 순간사전적인 의미의 플라시보(Placebo)는 임상적 효능이 없는 가짜 약, 혹은 일시적 위안을 주는 겉치레 말을 뜻한다. 가짜 약은 약으로서의 효과는 없지만, 복용한 사람에게 ‘약을 먹었으니 나을 거야’라는 희망을 갖게 한다. 지금은 사어가 되었지만, 본래 희망이란 황홀한 것이다. 그래서 실제로 약을 먹은 것과 같은 치료 효과를 ‘일시적이나마’ 내는 경우도 있다. 물론 그 심리적인 약발은 오래 지속되는 성질의 것이 아니므로, 금새 들통나거나 환자가 감작 증상을 보이게 되기 마련이다. 플라시보의 지난 음반 [Black Market Music]은 꼭 밴드 이름 같았다. 듣는 순간 황홀하고, 묘한 느낌에 사로잡히게 된다. 마지막 트랙이 끝나고 길고 긴 무음 상태가 지속될 때까지, 차마 헤...
