State of the Art - Gotye

Ever since I can remember Chasing love was just a way of spending time Until you came around, in you I found a shelter No need for me to fight the great desire I lost myself in your mesmerizing smile Tried to get your full attention You diminished all the tension in me With nothing more to say Here comes the rain The never ending flood River of burning hope inside you No need to be afraid Here comes the rain To wash away the stain Takes away every doubt inside you No need to fight it back Here comes the rain Filling you up with hope Here comes the rain Opening up your soul Here comes the rain Can't image all the days I hunted what I thought was love But I was wrong, illusionized You made me recall, why The chasing is a try to seal the hole You healed the emptiness inside of me You erased my false intentions You diminished all the tension in me With nothing more to say Here comes the rain The never ending flood River of burning hope inside you No need to be afraid Here comes the rain To wash away the stain Takes away every doubt inside you No need to fight it back Here comes the rain Filling you up with hope Here comes the rain Opening up your soul Here comes the rain Together we defeat every threat Making movements we'll never forget I'm safe under your shield Living fantasy

Unity is a rare thing Blind eyes of society bring The category of minority Now what are we supposed to be? Born free to be Powerless to change the world With our lives in the hands of madmen Now in times when society needs us This is where the sin begins We're aware they're going to free us Rage from our hearts within Born of this world Which is a living hell But we'll be closer to heaven So now, this is the art To shred... its only emotion

Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat Losing contact with the living Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain Don't see anything real in the game The tension is building constantly No reason, just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork I try to keep an eye open, and I realize I haven't closed my eyes in a long time Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside I haven't closed my eyes in a long time, I am trying I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore But I'm here to continue after all I have been through I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing This life and death more precious than anything I won't bring no materials in the afterlife Take no possessions, I would rather travel light I'm of this kind that kills all day But I don't know yet how to die Art of dying is the way to let all go Within I practice in the secret of my soul My shape in the reflector has now forever Life on its own
