Muse - Revolt

How did we get in so much trouble?
Getting out just seems impossible
Oppression is persisting
I can't fight this brain conditioning

Our freedom's just a loan
Run by machines and drones They've got us locked into their sights
Soon they'll control what's left inside

Don't try to hide it, don't tell me it's not there

You've got strength
You've got soul
You've felt pain
You've felt love
You can grow (you can grow)
You can grow (you can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt

Can you hear a distant thunder
Taste earth's blood and hunger
We live in a toxic jungle
Truth is suppressed to mumbles

They'll take away our homes
They're just machines and drones

Don't try to fight it, don't tell me you can't see

That you've got strength
You've got soul
You've felt pain
You've felt love
You can grow (you can grow)
You can grow (you can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt

I can feel your pain
I can feel your confusion
I can see you're trapped in a maze
Let's find a way to escape

You've got strength
You've got soul
You're not afraid
You're not a drone
You can grow (you can grow)
You can grow (you can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt

Muse - Won't Stand Down

I never believed that I would concede and let someone trample on me
You strung me along, I thought I was strong, but you were just gaslighting me
I’ve opened my eyes, & counted the lies, & now it is clearer to me
You are just a user, and an abuser, living vicariously

I never believed that I would concede and get myself blown asunder
You strung me along, I thought I was strong, but now you have pushed me under
I’ve opened my eyes, and counted the lies, now it is clearer to me
You are just a user, and an abuser, and I refuse to take it

Won’t stand down
I’m growing stronger
Won’t stand down
I’m owned no longer
Won’t stand down
You’ve used me for too long, now die alone

Now I’m coming back, a counterattack, I’m playing you at your own game
I’m cutting you out, a shadow of doubt
Is gonna hang over your name
I’ve opened my eyes, I see your disguise,
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I’ll shoot you before you take aim

Now I’m coming back, a counterattack,
A psychological war
I’m cutting you in, I’m under your skin
Now I’m gonna settle the score
I’ve opened my eyes, I see your disguise,
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I’ll shoot you before you take aim

Won’t stand down
I’m growing stronger
Won’t stand down
I’m owned no longer
Won’t stand down
You’ve used me for too long, now die alone

Won’t stand down
I’m growing stronger
Won’t stand down
I’m owned no longer
Won’t stand down
You’ve used me for too long, now die alone

Muse - Big Freeze

Healed (Healed), or are you still just reeling?
Are you fine (Fine), have you found a way to escape?
Are you here (Here) just because I need you?
Can we hole up? A big freeze is heading our way
We are on a hiding to nowhere
We still hope (Hope), but our dreams are not the same, no
And I, I lost before I started
I'm collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Hear me - what words just can't convey
Feel me - don't let the sun in your heart decay

Fight (Fight), or will you show me mercy? (Mercy)
We've expelled (Expelled) the goodness from our hearts (Hearts)
Are you here (Here) just to prove you're winning? (Winning)
Can you hole up, and ride out this electrical storm?
We destroyed something beautiful
We have faith (Faith), but our truths are not the same, no
Don't give up (Up), don't let the magic leave us (Leave us)
Stop the loneliest force becoming king of the universe

Hear me - what words just can't convey
Feel me - don't you let the sun in your heart decay

Don't give up, don't let the magic leave us
We're collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Hear me - what words just can't convey
Feel me - I won't let the sun in our hearts decay

Muse - Verona

Can we kiss with poison on our lips?
Well, I'm not scared

Can we touch and taste forbidden bliss?
They can't stop us now
I won't let you be alone
I am coming for you
Keep us apart, it's too much to ask

We're running away
Take off your clothes and take off your mask
It's not over now
I won't leave you in the dark
Because I need you so

Can we kiss, contagion on our lips?
Well, I don't care
We can touch and feel forbidden bliss
They can't stop us now
I won't let you feel alone
Because I need you so

You and me throw caution to the wind
And I will risk everything just to feel
The warmth and the voltage of your skin
If this is my last day on Earth
I just want to be with you
You are all that's true

We will kiss with poison on our lips
Well, I'm not scared
We will touch and reach forbidden bliss
They can't stop us now
I won't let you die alone
Because I love you so

Muse - Ghosts (How Can I Move On)

Now and then
My mind drifts to a place where I find you
Lost in my head
There are unsolved feelings that haunt me
It's too late to heal
I'll lay them to rest

How can I move on
When everyone I see still talks about you?
How can I move on
When all the best things I have we made together?
Here's to letting go
But I am lost in a void with your ghost and our memories
Lest we forget
The great reset

If I could bring you back
There are truths and confessions I'd tell you
I'd set things straight
And I believe that you would love and forgive me
I know it's too late
I need to let go

And how can I move on
When everyone I see still talks about you?
How can I move on
When all the best things I have we built together?
Here's to letting go
But I am trapped in a void with your ghost and our memories
Lest we forget
The great reset

How can I sleep with this coldness beside me?
How can I sleep with this coldness inside me?
I know I can't bring back your love

How can I move on
When everyone I see still talks about you?
How can I move on
When all the best things I have we made together?
Here's to letting go
But I am lost in a void with your ghost and our memories
Lest we forget
The great reset

Muse - Sing For Absolution

Lips are turning blue

A kiss that can't renew

I only dream of you

My beautiful

Tiptoe to your room

A starlight in the gloom

I only dream of you

And you never knew

Sing for absolution

I will be singing

And falling from your grace, ooh

There's nowhere left to hide

In no one to confide

The truth burns deep inside

And will never die

Lips are turning blue

A kiss that can't renew

I only dream of you

My beautiful

Sing for absolution

I will be singing

And falling from your grace, hey

Sing for absolution

I will be singing

And falling from your grace, hey

Our wrongs remain unrectified

And our souls won't be exhumed

Muse - The Handler

You (you, you)
Were my oppressor
And I (I, I)
I have been programmed to obey

And now (now, now)
You are my handler
And I (I, I)
I will execute your demands

Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you

Behold (hold, hold)
My trance formation
And you (you, you)
Are empowered to do as you please

My mind (mind, mind)
Was lost in translation
And my heart (heart, heart)
Has become a cold and impassive machine

Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you

I won't let you control my feelings anymore
And I will no longer do as I am told
And I am no longer afraid to walk alone
Let me go
Let me be
I'm escaping from your grip
You will never own me again

Muse - Take a Bow

Corrupt

You corrupt

And bring corruption to all that you touch

Hold

You'll behold

And beholden for all that you've done

Spell

Cast a spell

Cast a spell on the country you run

And risk

You will risk

You will risk all their lives and their souls

And burn

You will burn

You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell

You'll burn in hell

Yeah you'll burn in hell

For your sins

And our freedom's consuming itself

What we've become

It's contrary to what we want

Take a bow

Death

You bring death and destruction to all that you touch

Pay

You must pay

You must pay for your crimes against the earth

Yeah hex

Feed the hex

Feed the hex on the country you love

And beg

You will beg

You will beg for their lives and their souls

And burn

You will burn

You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell

You'll burn in hell

Yeah you'll burn in hell

You'll burn in hell

Yeah you'll burn in hell

For your sins

Muse - Showbiz

Controlling my feelings for too long

Controlling my feelings for too long

Controlling my feelings for too long

Controlling my feelings for too long

Forcing our darkest souls to unfold

And forcing our darkest souls to unfold

Pushing us into self destruction

Pushing us into self destruction

And they make me

Make me dream your dreams

And they make me

Make me scream your screams

Trying to please you for too long

Trying to please you for too long

Visions of greed you wallow

Visions of greed you wallow

Visions of greed you wallow

Visions of greed you wallow

And they make me

Make me dream your dreams

And they make me

Make me scream your screams

Controlling my feelings for too long

Controlling my feelings for too long

And forcing our darkest souls to unfold

And forcing our darkest souls to unfold

And pushing us into self destruction

And pushing us into self destruction

And they make me

Make me dream your dreams

And they make me

Make me scream your screams

Muse - Recess

Resuscitate

In my sleep

Awake to see

You're never here

But the losing yields

Another year

Facing hopes and fears

And I wish

I could believe there was more

Hopes suffocating

You've kissed my life

And the planes and trains

Are to blame

For tempting us

To refrain

And to cut the chord

Dis every word

Of the truths absurd

And I wish

I could believe there was more

Hopes suffocating

You've kissed my life

Hopes suffocating

Hopes suffocating

Hopes suffocating

And you've kissed my life

Muse - Blockades

The truth is that when I am killing in order to survive

I have never felt so alive

I am always seeking to live and die on the edge

Life is a broken simulation, I'm unable to feel

I'm searching for something that's real

I am always seeking to see what's behind the veil

Trapped in a maze of unseen walls

These blockades must fall

Crush, crush

Raze and rush

Seize, fight for your life

Smash, test

Beat the best

Fight for your life

You've been summoned now

I never sleep or rest

But I'm still running out of time

I have sacrificed all of my life

The time has come to

To prove to you what I'm worth

Trapped in a maze of endless walls

These blockades must fall

Crush, crush

Raze and rush

Seize, fight for your life

Smash, test

Beat the best

Fight for your life

You've been summoned now

Crush, crush

Raze and rush

Seize, fight for your life

Smash, test

Beat the best

Fight for your life

You've been summoned now

Muse - Micro Cuts

Hands are red with your blame

Megaphone screaming my name

Whimpers someone I should've loved

Souls weeping above

I've seen

What you’re doing to me

Destroying puppet strings

To our souls

Micro waves me insane

A blade cuts in your brain

Sounds like forks on a plate

Blackboard scratched with hate

I've seen

What you’re doing to me

Destroying puppet strings

To our souls

Muse - Something Human

My circuits have blown

I know it's self imposed 

And all I have shared

And all I have loved

Is all I have known

But something has changed

I feel so alive

My life just blew up

I'd give it all up

I'll depressurize

Aahh

10000 miles left on the road

Aahh

500 hours until I'm home

I need something human, human

Human, human

Let's face all our fears

Come out of the shade

Let's burn all the money

Absolve all the lies

And wake up unscathed

The big picture's gone

Replaced with visions of you

Now life can begin

I've cleansed all my sins

I'm about to break through

Aahh

5000 miles left on the road

Aahh

200 hours until I'm home

I need something human, human

Human, human

And I need the touch

And something human, human

Aahh

Less than a mile left on the road

Aahh

I'll be crawling though your door

I need something human, human

Human, human

And I need your love

And something human, human

Muse - Madness

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve, mmm
And I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized what you mean

And now I need to know — is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat? Mmm
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we've had
Like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah

Now, I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you need

But now I have finally seen the end
(Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care, no
(Expecting you to care)
That I have finally seen the light
(Finally seen the light)
And I have finally realized
(Realized)
I need to love
I need to love

Come to me, just in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know I can be wrong
And baby you're too headstrong
Our love is...
Madness

Muse - Unintended

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Before you...

Muse - The Dark Side

I have lived in darkness

For all my life, I've been pursued
You'd be afraid, if you could feel my pain
And if you could see the things
I am able to see

Break me out, break me out, let me flee
Break me out, break me out, set me free

I hail from the dark side
For all my life, I've been besieged
You'd be scared, living with my despair
And if you could feel the things
I am able to feel

Break me out, break me out, let me flee
Break me out, break me out, set me free

Break me out, break me out, let me flee
Break me out, break me out, set me free

Save me from the dark side
Break me out, break me out, set me free

Muse - Citizen Erased

Break me in
Teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up
What shouldn't be shared?
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away
At my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

Self-expressed, exhausting for all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away
At my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They only bring us pain
And I've seen all I'll ever need

Muse - Pressure

I'm trapped and my back is up against the wall
I see no solution or exit out
I'm grinding it out, no one can see
The pressure is growing exponentially
I'm trying to keep up to speed with you
Your lane changing is oscillating me
I'm hitting the ground and I'm sprinting
I'm falling behind now I'm tuning out

Pressure building
Pressure building
Pressure building

Don't push me
Don't push me
Let me get off the ground
To you I'm no longer bound
Don't stop me, don't choke me
I need you out of my head
You've got me close to the edge

I'm feeling the pressure
I can't break out
No one can hear me scream and shout
Get out of my face, out of my mind
I see your corruption
I'm not blind
I'll carry the burden and take the strain
And when I am done I will make you pay

Pressure building
Pressure building
Pressure building

Don't push me
Don't push me
Let me get off the ground
To you I'm no longer bound
Don't curb me
Don't thwart me
I need you out of my head
You've got me close to the edge

Pressure building
Pressure building

Don't push me
Don't push me
Let me get off the ground
To you I'm no longer bound
Don't stop me
Don't block me
I need you out of my head
You've got me close to the edge

Pressure building
Pressure building

Muse - Guiding Light

Pure hearts stumble
in my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
Loved by numbers
you're losing life's wonder
touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore
The sunshine trapped in our hearts
it could rise again
but I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside

You were my guiding light

When comfort and warmth can't be found I still reach for you 
but I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside

You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
when there's no guiding light left inside
when there's no guiding light in our lives
