Dark Star
03:49
|
|||
There's black in all I see
Without your love with me
The night, the sky, the dream
The darkness is closing in on me
(underneath the same bad moon)
Dark Star, you always want what you can't have
The night's never over...

Beautiful Nightmare
04:34
|
|||
Wake up, wake up, we're calling
Eyes closed, you do not hear
Wake up, wake up, we're calling
Beautiful Nightmare
The Sandman's got you captured
Daylight so far away
The fear is your undoing
It creeps out in the day
"Someone help me!"
(wake him up)
Dreams aren't so real

Infatuation
04:46
|
|||
Hanging on to every X in your texts
Wondering when I will see you next
And if we're doing the right thing
Sugar, I am soaking in our sin
Your finger trails where he has been
In so deep, I'm drowing
Listening to a song we shared
At least once a day
Searching for some hidden message
That might lead the way
Don't you know that I am falling fast
Infatuation
(She's full of loving but she's got no heart)
Infatuation
(Who wants a girl that's falling apart)
I want to hold your gaze
But I'm afraid that you'll stray
Searching for some hidden corner
Where we can hide away
Don't you know that I am at a loss
The hardest thing's the walking away

This Unrest
04:46
|
|||
A dark retreat, where spirits roam
This unrest, my only home
I greet the void, you face the storm
I'll haunt this place now that you're gone
I cry out loud but no one's there...
...for you're miles away
Fevered heart and fevered head
Choking on words left unsaid
Your plan for help left me for dead
I'll keep it warm, our empty bed
I cry out loud but no one's there
I cry out and fade away
No one answers
(fade away)

Angel Of Soho
03:34
|
|||
Dressed to the nines
Class on all fours
Spent money on trash
Tipped his hat to the whores
You go to bed and you never wake up
Crucified
High from his pain
Between lake and sky
The Angel of Soho
His art out to dry
Is that all that you are?
Is there more that you want?
Be hated for what you are
Not loved for what you are not
(Saint Sebastian)

Tell Tale Heart
04:20
|
|||
You say that you're sorry
Well, girl don't I know
I'd love to forgive you
But I can't let it go
Why'd I let you bring me down
Look what you've done to me
My friend, the enemy?
It is time for me
To turn the other cheek?
This Tell Tale Heart will beat
It pumps our misery
Let it bleed, let it bleed, let it bleed
What you embraced was wrong
Lust in your belly
Deceit on your lips
Under your floorboards
Lies our friendship in bits

Days Like These

|

It's days like these
Take us back to the beginning
We fight our cases but no one is winning babe

Plato's Cave
05:25
|
|||
A dance of dreams
Illuminated by the flickering
Eyes to the wall
Fixated to the trickery
Filing past
Beasts and men with horse's heads
The wisest man
Predicts what will happen next
Shadowplay
Unaware the world is turning
Set me free
Let me see your fire burning
Inside this cave
The heat is blistering
But listen close
The dark is whispering
Unbind your chains
Explore the world above you
If you put this pantomime to bed
Reality will blind you
Blinded by the daylight

The Silence
03:54
|
|||
I wake alone then yearn to sleep
Directionless, just air to breath
Now she's gone her face is haunting me
The nights are long and days just seem like weeks
Now she's gone, the blame is all I feel
It's the silence in my ears
The silence, it's all I hear
The nightmare's gone but her face is haunting me
The silence is breaking me

Falling From Grace
07:37
|
|||
I am the fallen one.
I am the fallen from Heaven
Oh Venus, oh day star
Lucifer, son of the dawn
I am the fallen from Heaven
Oh Venus, oh day star
The King of Babylon
Falling from grace
Is it my ego that's left me here tortured
Are you convinced that it's all about me
Their stories are twisted
Have damned me forever
Misunderstood for all of eternity
I can't bow before him, I love you
Was born of the fire
Made to adore thee
How can I worship something
Moulded from clay
Created with eyes and a heart for you only
You ask of me something I cannot display
(Cast me out, throw me down, to Hades bound!)
These the words that I refused...
"You'll throw yourself at the first man"
Adam, Adam, I'm damned, I'm damned

Song For Becky
04:20
|
|||
You waited for my answer
After all of these years
Now I'm waiting for an answer
No photo on the screen
They say you'll never grow old
The news it got me thinking
Of your life and tragedies
Those dark days that followed you
Not self inflicted but received
And now you'll never grow old
Sail away sweet sister
The song we used to sing
So sail away sweet sister
May your soul rest in peace
And now you'll never grow old
I'm sorry I was mean
So sorry I was mean
May your soul rest in peace
Not lost but now released
|

Oxana, show your teeth
Escape on hands and knees
Live your life on gut instinct
Life's a bitch and you're its queen
Mother, father...
I'll play dead
Distant howling in your head
Oxana, led astray
Lick your wounds and run away
Sweet moonlight
The dogs are out tonight
I can be your feral child

Once Bitten, Twice Rabid
04:06
|
|||
Fighting for the future by erasing the past
Once bitten, twice rabid
Our flags at half mast
Let it go
The storm that's inside me
It weathers my pain
My heart squeezing out every last drop of rain
Don't be afraid
The silence between us grows louder each day
Ear shattering words that we're both scared to say
|

Run Away
06:04
|
|||
It's time you leave & walk away
Just run away, you can run away
Your honesty is just abuse
You're crucifying the life that you once knew
Where's the love and dignity
This life is just insanity
It's time to face the truth
Your honest is just no use
You keep on trying but nothing changes you
Is this our destiny?

Time Out
04:04
|
|
||
I've come to play here by myself
I don't need anybody else
A string of pearls around my neck
Lost beads for everyone I've known
Caught on the breeze, escape like leaves
Making it easier to breathe
(alone)
You can't touch me, see or hear me
I am out of sight
I don't feel you or remember
Truly out of mind
Only the sky will answer now
I'll greet the rain with open mouth
Will wash away your fingerprints
Clean at last, my purest self
I'll stop the clocks and sit alone
Forget I'm made of flesh & bone

CQD
03:26
|
|||
Scapegoat down
The North Star as my witness
That seat, it beckoned me
And low, I sank into the night
I'm lost at sea
The sky, it casts a shadow
On my sisters & on my brothers
The sun will not rise again for the many others
CQD: Danger on the high seas
CQD: Man overboard
My luck which brought me to land
Curse in disguise, for it is I who am damned
A man that should have stayed starboard
And never ran
If I had known what I do know now
I'd trade Terra Firma for some dignity
|

Run Away (ElectraMix)
03:59
|
|||
It's time you leave & walk away
Just run away, you can run away
Your honesty is just abuse
You're crucifying the life that you once knew
Where's the love and dignity
This life is just insanity
It's time to face the truth
Your honest is just no use
You keep on trying but nothing changes you
Is this our destiny?

Brother Indigo (rough)
03:32
|
|||
The distance we've made
The time spent away
Means nothing
Decisions we make
Fatal Mistakes
We're learning
Brother Indigo
A spectrum of light
Vibrating in me
I open my mouth
And it's colours you see
Don't live in the dark
Follow me here
Under the stars
Legends of gold
Too yellow to find
If the glitz and the glamour
Is all in the mind

Black Jaws
03:39
|
|||
The words of a man, lost
A manse, unoccupied
No man is deemed alone
With The Devil by his side
Run away
In his Black Jaws
From the Word of Our Lord
And the voice of Sound Reason
I give you my word
As seeing is believing
(la la la)
He's cut of different cloth
The Devil's in the detail
His stitching's come undone
He's off the rails
Father, Son, Unholy Ghost
On the book
(I swear)
Seeing is believing
