Goodbye 03:33
You kept looking up but you're forced to look away the silence is almost deafening I played with all my favourite cards really thought they'd get me through But tongues begin to wag Faces turn and fingers start to point I guess I'm out of time there's nothing more that I can do A gentleman I'll tip my hat politely leave the room It's s good bye from me a good bye from you Given the situation it's all we can do It's a goodbye from me it's a goodbye from you Given the situation it's all we can do I kept looking down yes I had to look that way the silence playing to all my fears I shuffled each and every card I really thought I had it made But now I see you in the gloom Your upturned faces say it all I think it's time for me to go I'll let the elephant escape It's time to think again, time to run away It's a goodbye from me it's a goodbye from you Given the situation it's all we can do It's s goodbye from me a goodbye from you Given the situation it's all we can do Goodbye

My Poison 03:38
Addiction The Power Pulls me in (Is it too late?) Sex Power Money Me (Got to terminate) It has to stop this world of mine (You cannot wait) You are, You are My Poison Right Path Walking now Day by Day (Don’t take the bait) Concrete Neon Shining Streets (Your Altered State) Crowds Squares I see your face (Release the Hate) You are, You are My Poison Ready? Set? Go! You are, You are My Poison Poisonous Poisonous

Paper Lives 03:50
Paper people with paper cuts Bleeding out into the rough Paper news hits paper streets Blown away by you and me Unfold me now Open up my arms Unfold my mind Then seal it up Paper pages in paper books Paper hearts and parachutes Paper tearing me in two A million words we couldn't choose I have been written on I have been used so many times Your ink is my sight Your words are my life On paper wings I can fly Writing pretty thoughts in the sky With paper towels I can try To stem the bitter tears you will cry In paper towers standing high We'll have to draw our battle lines Against the elements It's just the two of us But it's enough that you are there

So easy to see, the floors of my life stretched before me Throwing the dice, spitting the shapes Adoring the space Will we be together? concrete mezzanine I saw you standing there concrete mezzanine Holding it together concrete mezzanine Things will get better concrete mezzanine Nothing before you cast your spell upon me From floor to floor fulfilling the dream A house that can breathe Now as I stand Now as you reach into my head With water and sand with concrete and mezzanine A pillow as hard as the dream that keeps fading Will we be together? concrete mezzanine I saw you standing there concrete mezzanine Holding it together Concrete Mezzanine Things will get better concrete mezzanine Now as I stand now as you reach into my head With water and sand A pillow as hard as the dream that keeps fading Now as you reach into my head Concrete mezzanine Holding it together concrete mezzanine Will we be together? concrete mezzanine I saw you standing there Concrete Mezzanine Holding it together concrete mezzanine A pillow as hard as the dream that keeps fading Concrete mezzanine

I don't belong in this world It's not a world I recognise I stop and I count The minutes till I drown Feel the whirlpool taking me down I kick and I fail to make sense of it all Wishing time could take me back To a city long gone To a city long gone Not gonna lie it's just not my style Reaching out Nobody there Not gonna lie it's just not my style Reaching out Nobody cares Nobody cares The chalk lines are gone, swept away By feet that never knew The line was shared I kick and I fail to make sense of it all Wishing time could take me back Drop me in some old familiar yard Not gonna lie it's just not my style Reaching out nobody there Not gonna lie it's just not my style Reaching out Nobody cares It's a long time to be waiting It's a long time Not gonna lie it's just not my time Not gonna lie it's just not my time

Suitomoton 04:24
I am a creature of my own design A waster bagging up the years Afraid of all those what might be's Afraid to live afraid of me No shooting stars No perfect day Just same old suits And same old names And I am wide awake Wishing life away Drowning in my cup Trapped in coffee grains I'm fading into grey I'm fading into grey No shooting stars No dreams today Just same old suits And same old names No memories to buy or sell As I grow older still No shooting stars No perfect play Just poison clouds And poison days

I am pyjama clad I stumble eyes still trapped in sleep Beneath a billion stars I make my way into the trees I don't know what this is I fell as if something's carrying me I touch I sense The roots beneath my feet Slipping beneath the overhang I gently touch with fingertip I hear the first breathe It slowly dances in the breeze These trees as old as time I know they want to speak to me And I can listen now With ears that never heard before You and I we are dancing For the last time These trees try are alive I feel their life blood coursing through me I hear a heartbeat in the dark It thumps so very hard And I can hear them scream These trees they are imploring me Be our friend Save us now Tell the world What you have seen

Queen Dog 03:42
She's dangerous in leather Mmm that has to be illegal So dangerous and clever Night trash thrill til morning Glass eye staring into space As she takes me to that place again Maybe it's better this way Maybe it's better this way Just another Saturday Bitch on heat Bitch in the sheets Queen dog, queen of all she surveys Queen of fate Queen of faith And I don't think I'm ever coming out And I don't think she's ever coming back And I just want to see how this plays out Want to see the way this is gonna run Coz I don't remember What it was what I was what it was, what I was before Before Before Suppose it's better this way Just another Saturday Bitch on heat, bitch in the sheets Queen dog With her collar on Take me Take me Play it Play on Take me Again and again and again and again and again Maybe it's better this way

There's nothing in your head It's an empty room A dark space A vacuum A place where thoughts go to die They lie belly up begging you for life Can't crack the code Can't crack the shell You've never been about creation Nothing lingers Can’t survive Your mind is a sinking sand sinking sand You're a sinking sand Your mind is a sinking sand sinking sand You're a sinking sand There's nothing in your head It's a dark space Thought genocide A padded cell where madness lies Fingering itself You've never been about religion Don't care about the afterlife Mind choked Overload You don't know which way to travel As the madness unravels Let me know when you've worked it out When you've worked it out Your mind is a sinking sand sinking sand You're a sinking sand Your mind is a sinking sand sinking sand You're a sinking sand

SHE DIED TOO YOUNG she never really got a chance at life That window gone like all those dreams that disappeared into the night Open up the casket looking down upon a face that pallor’s is not gold She died before the world explored the possibilities that she might hold She's free to fly SHE DIED TOO YOUNG She's free to fly SHE DIED TOO YOUNG She's free to fly SHE DIED TOO YOUNG No longer tethered to this world Open up the casket looking down upon a face that pallor’s skin so cold She died before her mother new the possibilities that she might hold No longer tethered to this world Slipped this mortal coil She's free to fly SHE DIED TOO YOUNG

Faces buried in the screen Replacing Heavy Industry Familiar Theme Pride is lost Human cost Broken Economy Scraps of life left behind Bigger forces sweep away Empty hope Daily grind Human cost Community begins to fray And Beautiful names For Ugly Places And Beautiful names For Ugly Faces Ugly Faces Ugly Places Ugly Places And Ugly faces

At least we got to hear the rain Is all I could say I am sick of being second best To the man I could have been And I have to ask Are you broken like me? I am the man behind the mask I’ll never let you know I like the way it hurts Makes me feel alive And I have to ask Are you machine like me? I’m so scared all the time I want my time again I want to change But I never do You’ll find the word pathetic Is defined as you And I have to ask Are you broken like me?
