DEPECHE MODE - DELTA MACHINE (2013)

1. WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Welcome to my world

Step right through the door

Leave your tranquilisers at home

You don't need them anymore

All the drama queens have gone

And the devil got dismayed

He packed up and fled this town

His master plan delayed

And if you stay a while

I'll penetrate you soul

I'll bleed into your dreams

You'll want to lose control

I'll weep into your eyes

I'll make your visions sing

I'll open endless skies

And ride your broken wings

Welcome to my world

We'll watch the sunrise set

And the moon begin to blush

Our naked innocence

Translucently too much

And I'll hold you in my arms

And keep you by my side

And we'll sleep the devil's sleep

Just to keep him satisfied

2. ANGEL

The angel of love was upon me

And Lord, I felt so small

The legs beneath me weakened

I began to crawl

Confused and contented

I slithered around

Reveal is beyond me

I was lost I was found

The angel of love was upon me

And Lord, I felt so weak

I felt my tongue move in my mouth

And I began to speak

A strange kind of language

I don't understand

A babbling fountain

I couldn't have planned

Oh leave me here

Forever more

I found the peace

I've been searching for

The angel of love was upon me

And Lord, I felt so high

I swear I could have reached up

Placed my hands upon the sky

A radiant rainbow

Was following me around

With elevated senses

I can see and taste sound

The angel of love was upon me

And Lord, I felt so clean

Like a preacher on Sunday

My heart was serene

I waded into the water

I was bathed. I was drowned

Like the sinners before me

I knelt down on the ground

Oh leave me here

Forever more

I found the peace

I've been searching for

Oh let me sleep

Forever more

I found the peace

I've been searching for

3. HEAVEN

Sometimes I slide away

Silently

I slowly lose myself

Over and over

Take comfort in my skin

Endlessly

Surrender to my will

Forever and ever

I dissolve in trust

I will sing with joy

I will end up dust

I'm in heaven

I stand in golden rays

Radiantly

I burn a fire of love

Over and over

Reflecting endless light

Relentlessly

I have embraced the flame

Forever and ever

I will scream The Word

Jump into the void

I will guide the world

Up to heaven

4. SECRET TO THE END

When I look at you

I'm probably the same way too

I got a feeling that it's coming soon

Could this be the end?

And when I look around this room

It must be something I can do

Can I convince you that it isn't true?

We've come to the end

Oh did I disappoint you?

I wanted to believe it's true

Oh the book of love

Was not enough to see us through

The problem should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

It seems so obvious to you

You're feeling what I'm feeling too

The final chapter in the contract expires soon

We've come to the end

Thank God I'm not the same as you

You always know exactly what to do

Is who I am, is not for you

We've come to the end

Oh did I disappoint you?

I wanted to believe it's true

Oh the book of love

Was not enough to see us through

The problem should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Would've been you, could've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

If it hadn't been me

Should've been you (should've been you)

(Could've been you, should've been you)

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

If it hadn't been me

5. MY LITTLE UNIVERSE

My little universe is expanding... slowly

Those who know me say I'm growing every day

Beautiful emptiness surrounds me

I take small steps

I'm making progress in an unspecific way

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

The limited consciousness preserves me

It protects me

And just connects enough to keep the walls at bay

My little universe is expanding... slowly

Those who know me say I'm growing every day

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

6. SLOW

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

So I can feel all I want to know

Slow, slow

I go with your flow

Let the world keep it's carnival pace

I'd prefer to look into your beautiful face

What a waste

And the starts continue to fly by

I don't have one desire to understand why

I don't try

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

I want my sense to overflow

Slow, slow

It doesn't show

I don't need a race in my bed

When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head

Instead

It's tempting for fools to rush in

When something's so good why should we rush and fail?

It's the same

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

That's how I like it

I like it

I don't need a race in my bed

When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head

Instead

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

That's how I like it

I like it

That's how I like it

7. BROKEN

If you want control without any pain

How long will you suffer?

How long will you wait?

Is she the friend that I knew?

He cannot be banned

Replaced by another

Wearing his crown

There's a place where I go

Without any sand

Only you can reach me

Only you're allowed

And you're so far away

You're so far from here

Do you remember

Our time without tears?

When you're falling

I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it

I will be there

You were broken for the start

And you were a child

You dream all day long

You dream of the future

Get lost in your sounds

Now that time is gone

It's lost for you now

Words long forgotten

Forgotten somehow

When you're falling

I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it

I will be there

You were broken for the start

8. THE CHILD INSIDE

There is darkness and death in your eyes

What have you got buried inside?

The shallow grave in your soul

The ghosts that have taken control

You really should have dug a little deeper there

Body parts are starting to appear and scare

The child inside away

Each tear that flows down your face

Trickles then picks up the pace

And turns to a river inside

A river that will not subside

I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound

And watching from afar I see a child is drowned

The child inside your heart

I can see you drifting away

Heading for the light

I can see you drifting away

Every night

Why were you always inside?

On days when the weather was fine

And while we were running around

You were nowhere to be found

You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed

Well you were made to play games with your soul instead

The child inside you died

9. SOFT TOUCH /RAW NERVE

Have I got a soft touch?

Is my radar that off?

I'm thinking

That you're sinking

And I'll drown

I've got a confession

That your depression

Will take me down

Am I on the right track?

Have I picked a bad time?

It's seeming

That you're dreaming

With my eyes

But why protest

When your success

Is my prize

Oh brother

Give me a helping hand

Oh brother

Tell me you understand

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I got a soft touch?

I'm thinking

That you're sinking

And I'll drown

I've got a suspicion

That your position

Is unsound

Oh brother

Give me a helping hand

Oh brother

Tell me you understand

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I got a soft touch?

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I got a soft touch?

10. SHOULD BE HIGHER

I dream of a day

When I dare to believe

You're the answer

When the shame

And the guilt are removed

And the truth appears

Of the touch of your hand

I lose who I am

If I want to

I try to resist but

Succumb to the bliss

Of your kiss

You should be higher

I'll take you higher

Well don't be afraid

You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive than the truth

Love is all I want

Your lies are written down now in your book

Love is all I want

Your arms are infected

They're holding the truth

Oh stop all your crying

This one you'll lose

You should be higher

I'll take you higher

So don't be afraid

You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive than the truth

Love is all I want

Your lies are written down now in your book

Love is all I want

You should be higher

Love

11. ALONE

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest

Through your failings and success

Through your losses and gains

I didn't see much happiness or pain

I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't feel at home

Alone

I saw you at your best

I knew you at your worst

I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed

There's ding red eye between the black and the white

It's evidently hard to find the night

I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't play that role

Alone

Now it's too...

Too late for what should've have been said

Long ago

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest

I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't fill that hole

Alone

12. SOOTHE MY SOUL

I`m coming for you

When the sun goes down

I`m coming for you

When there`s no-one around

I`ll coming to your house

Break down the door

Girl I`m shaking

And I need more

There`s only way to soothe my soul

Only one way (only one way)

I`m coming for you

I need to feel your skin

I`m coming for you

To stop this crawling

I`m taking place

By your side

And I`m not leaving

Until I`m satisfied

There`s only one way to soothe my soul

Only one way (only one way)

I`m coming for you

My body`s hungry

I`m coming for you

Like a junky

I can`t stop

Desire in me

I`m not waiting patienly

There`s only one way to soothe my soul

Only one way (only one way)

13. GOODBYE

It was you that stripped my soul

And threw it in the fire

And tamed it in the rapture

And filled me with desire

Now I'm pure

Now I'm clean

I feel good and serene

In you

There is no denying

How I have been changed

You won't hear me crying

Now misery is strange

I can dream

I can fly

Now it seems I get by

With you

Goodbye yeah

Goodbye again

I was always looking

Looking for someone

Someone to stick my hook in

And pull it out and run

Now I'm caught on your line

All my thoughts are entwined

In you

Goodbye yeah

Goodbye again

If you see me walking

Through the golden gates

Then turn around stop talking

Stop and hesitate

I'll be waiting up there

With my fate in the air

For you

Goodbye yeah

Goodbye again

14. LONG TIME LIE

It's been a while since you did something

Not so long since you complained

You sit around and doing nothing

Every day

You're the coward who points the finger

I understand that I'm helping you

You have delusions in some space-out fantasy

That's what you do

He loves to wallow in the glory

Loves to cut you down to size

Try to make you believe in all of his lies

It's been a long long long long long long time

A long time lie

Don't you never look in the mirror

Don't you know there'se so much more

Locked up inside that box behind your door

All your twisted conversations

When you're sitting all alone

Just remember we know your secret

While you moan

He loves to wallow in the glory

Loves to cut you down to size

Try to make you believe in all his lies

It's been a long long long long long long time

A long time lie

15. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

No need to feel ashamed

There's nothing to be gained

When your dreams are in the past

Like stars we crush and burn

Only to return

Life goes by so fast

So who is left to play

Nothing's quite the same

We can't live in the past

I'm burning inside as the sun

And I only just begun

Love it fades so fast

Sometimes I forget all I will regret

when I leave this world behind.

And sometimes I'm not sure

what I'm fighting for

It happens all the time

I know I've had enough, maybe far too much

It's easy to be kind

And when it's just me and you

I know what I have to do

I know I can leave this world behind

No need to feel ashamed

When there's nothing to be gained

When your dreams are in the past.

Like stars we crush and burn

Only to return

These lines are change so fast

Sometimes I forget all I will regret

when I leave this world behind.

And sometimes I'm not sure

what I'm fighting for

It happens all the time

16. ALWAYS

The... is dry and this...

The sun is high and the field might sparrow

A... time and my body aching

Now I'm opened wide and afraid of breaking.

The fire is hot and the tables are ready

But the stomach nuts make my hands unsteady

So I take... to pace and up and down the room

While my heart keeps racing and my mind's confused!

I just wanna be part of the light,

Of the light, of the light in your eyes.

I just wanna be part of the light,

Of the light, of the light in your eyes.

The bed is made and the candles burning

All our... and the clock keeps turning

We're out of tricks with the silence cutting

And the dagger stick as the doors keep shutting

I just wanna be part of the fire,

Of the fire, of the fire in your eyes.

I just wanna be part of the fire,

Of the fire, of the fire in your eyes.

Always, always, always, always

17. ALL THAT´S MINE

I know it's hard to reach you

I know it's hard to breathe

I know it's hard to be you sometimes

I can't imagine what that means

This must be someone else's story

I can't follow what you've planned

How could this be about me

I might suppose to understand

Like a ship on the ocean

Hanging out to sea

You can hardly see it now

It's a lot like you

Lost like me

You're still looking for redemption

Still can't find a trace

If there is nothing after

There'll be the saving grace

I'm giving you control now

I need some kind of sign

Can't take away the sorrow now

I gave you all that's mine

Like a ship on the ocean

Hanging out to sea

You can hardly see it now

It's a lot like you

Like a ship on the ocean

Handed out to sea

You can hardly see it now

It's a lot like you

Lost like me
