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

Concrete Mezzanine
04:39
|
|||
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

A pillow as hard as the dream that keeps fading

City Long Gone
04:16
|
|||
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

Through The Trees
04:01
|
|||
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
03:28
|

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

Are You Broken Like Me?
04:54
|
|||
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?
