Watching The Lines
04:30
|
|||
I see the dark in the light of day
I see the way that they turn away
And when you think the past is gone
Here comes the night and you don’t belong
So I spend my time and toil on truth
And keep an eye on my waning youth
Have I gone mad or is the world astray
As the ice will melt they’ll have nothing to say
So the lines will form on my face and hands
So much for love and well-made plans
It’s war they want to win your soul
So I watch the lines and I’m getting old
But what if God isn’t talking to you
So what if God isn’t talking to you
But what if God isn’t talking to you
So what if God isn’t talking to you
So what if god isn’t talking to you

Rats
04:08
|

Now I see your ghost in everyone
As I ask myself “what have I become?”
‘Cos I don’t know
I hear a far-off sound and it takes me to you
The soldiers do their rounds as soldiers do
I keep the rats keep the rats in the cellar
I keep the rats way down in the hole (2x)
So no one knows (2x)
Theres a neon light ‘neath electric stars
A cold discomfort there. We never get too far
As we lose our voice shouting at the sun
You think that you feel bad…you’re not the only one
I keep the rats keep the rats in the cellar
I keep the rats way down in the hole (4x)
So no one knows (2x)
And I don’t know how I will get back home again. (4x)
In the static of a clear blue light
I’m too numb to speak but not too numb to fight.

A Small Concern
04:14
|
|||
I watched you breathing with your head hung low
Awash in silence ‘cept your radio
Regret still hanging like a low-slung branch
And my eyes were fixed on you
Now tell me love what troubles you
And is there anything I can do
See my hands are wires, my teeth as nails
And the noise too much to bare
Oh the noise…
Now I…see you standing there. I hear you calling out
And I just don’t know why…why?
No I…I won’t be the one who leaves you all alone.
But it’s a small concern
Does it pay to aim your rifle so high
And blame it on an idea in the sky
As we race to keep up with ourselves
We’ll wish that we stayed home
Now I…I see you standing there. I hear you calling out
And I just don’t know why….why?
No I…I wont be the one who leaves you all alone.
But it’s a small concern (2x)

A Big Problem
03:21
|
|||
I caught you in a dream
When you were out on your own
I came apart at the seams
I guess I should have known
The light hits your eyes
And shakes me to my bones
I didn’t get your name
When you took me home
So if you want me…do you need me
You know I’d love to love to watch you walk away
Would you hurt me if I needed you
‘cos I do
You tied me to your chair
And told me not to stare
I said I’d close my eyes
Oh, how the wicked will lie
So if you want me…do you need me
You know I’d love to love to watch you walk away (2x)
Would you hurt me if I needed you
‘cos I do
Because I love, I hurt.

There’s a fire on the horizon
They’re trading in our blood for oil
That gave us names so you’ll remember
When they put us in the soil
They put a king inside a prison
A lonely pig becomes a king
He’ll spend it all on ill intention
While he’s wasting everything
When it all comes…when it all comes…when it all comes around.
When it all comes…when it all comes…when it all comes around.
A billion faces glowing proudly
And staring blankly at a screen
It’s not the future I would count on
When nothing is as it may seem
When it all comes…when it all comes…when it all comes around.
When it all comes…when it all comes…when it all comes around.

To Take A Fall
02:26
|
|||
I don’t believe that anyone is here for a reason
I don’t believe that we’re all just spokes in a while
So why are we too scared to grow graceful at all
Or is a wasted life just one who refuses to take a fall
I don’t want to go down in a low flying plane
For a pig who won’t even remember my name
I don’t need your medal or a plaque on the wall
If it’s my life to waste and refuse to ever take a fall
I don’t need redemption when there’s none to redeem
And I don’t need a gilded cage to know what it means
I can judge myself and hear my own call
Well you’re nothing and you’re no where
If you don’t refuse to ever take a fall

Basements
04:27
|
|||
And I can’t believe it if what I’m perceiving is wrong
They lie to your face until you feel displaced and then gone
I recall the basements of our youth but I can’t recall
The way that it felt to be careless without any harm
And when you grow up they will pour out your cup for a laugh
And tell you that you should be grateful for all that you have
So what does it mean when you cough out your dreams in your room
‘cos they’ll giftwrap your ashes and barcode your casket by noon
The world it goes…the world it goes…the world it goes on…the world it goes
The world it goes…the world it goes…the world it goes on…the world it goes
And back in those basements where you left your playthings its hides
The spirit of youth in an ill-fitting suit and the love in which you’d confide
So don’t grow up, be strange, don’t give up your right brain too soon
Be wild…be courageous…bare your teeth and howl at the moon
Because the world it goes…the world it goes…the world it goes on…the world it goes
The world it goes…the world it goes…the world it goes on…the world it goes
And the world it goes…the world it goes…the world it goes on…the world it goes
The world it goes…the world it goes…the world it goes on…the world it goes
It goes…

A Wolf In Eden
04:29
|
|||
There’s a fog hanging over me
and I breathe it out
When everything is not as it appears
I breathe it out
The worlds insane so say why should I care
And live in doubt
The kings on fire behind his iron door
He can’t live without
I wish I knew what we could do to get through all this mess we made
I wish I knew what we could do to get through all this mess we made
There’s a wolf inside the garden now
Hell waits you out
And if you slip he’ll shine his teeth on you
And spit you out
I wish I knew what we could do to get through all this mess we made
I wish I knew what we could do to get through all this mess we made (2x)
Now I wish that I could talk to you tonight
If just to know where you are
Though I know it seems that things don’t turn out right
Ill follow you on through the dark

Left Behind
03:37
|
|||
When you were just a little girl
You would be the picture of yourself
But time goes on and you will reconcile
And recognize yourself as someone else
Lies become defined by certainty
That every empire soon will turn to dust
You will sit right down on bended knee
And look for hope in something you can trust.
But I don’t mind if everyone leaves me behind
And I don’t care if it happens again and again and again and again and again
But I don’t mind if everyone leaves me behind
And I don’t care if it happens again
And every time you call out his name
It’s like counting tears out in the morning rain
You lose the self that took you from that girl
And left you with the mess that you are here.
But I don’t mind if everyone leaves me behind
And I don’t care if it happens again and again and again and again and again
But I don’t mind if everyone leaves me behind
And I don’t care if it happens again
No, I don’t mind

Wasteland
03:36
|
|||
If I was born like I will die
And everyone can tell
Then hold my life
For all you require
Is nothing more than a wasteland
It’s nothing more than a wasteland
Snickering moon illuminate my troubled mind
And tell me what is the reason
That I can’t live
In a world that I don’t know
It’s nothing more than a wasteland
It’s nothing more than a wasteland
But you will pick me up again
You will take me home again
But where is my love
Where is my love
Where is my love
Where is my love
Is it nothing more than a wasteland? (4x)
