Splintered
Lights - these spinning lights are blinding
Erase - not ever wanting to forget
The shame will never end But I'm coping on my own The ones I left behind They just fade out
Stains - these bloodied veils fall down The pain - I dedicate our loss to you
The shame will never end But I'm coping on my own
The ones I left behind They just fade out
Come here And take my hand Oh just come here And take this cursed band of gold
The shame will never end But I'm coping on my own The ones I left behind They just fade out
If I fall down, I won't stay down If you fall down, you will stay down You will stay down

OVER AND DOUBT
The tarot card flipped over in her hand
Turning around
She said, 'Look at what you have become, my friend'
Leaves on the ground
'Doubt is the beginning not the end,
stop cursing the darkness'
'Look at what you can become, my friend'
But he had already gone
These days have gone
Over and over again
These days will come
Over and over again
Please stay with me
Over and over again
Give to me some time and let me breathe
Lost in the sound
I'm finding something new in my relief
These days all behind us
Look at what we have become, my friend
This suffering will bind us to the end

BELIEVE NOTHING HURTS
Your lies
As they come in
The lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
As they come in
The lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
This time, believe nothing hurts
This time, believe nothing hurts
Your lies
There's a thousand drowned
And the lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
This time, believe nothing hurts
This time, believe nothing hurts
Oh, your lies
As they come in
They're drowning now
In your own sweet precious melody of lies
As they come in
We're drowning now
In your own sweet precious melody of lies

BREAK DOWN
They had me right where they wanted me then
There when they needed me but never when I needed them
Now they'll find the table's turned
Now I am my own best friend
And every time when I cried I grew colder
Like a lake of tears which has frozen over
Now they'll find the table's turned
Now I am my own best friend
But I'd break down the walls
Break down those walls
If you only wanted me to
I'd get them right where I wanted them now
If only it wasn't that I'd feel bad somehow
Now they'll find the table's turned
Now I am my own best friend
But I'd break down the walls
Break down those walls
If you only wanted me to

MAROONED
We are the light of the sun in starlight
Never the greed be undone in our lifetime
Vain 'til the end of the world - possessing
everything we have defiled - the nothingness
Blazing scarlet, burning darkness
Broken red skies are endless
We are the light of the world in our eyes
The gods we created in gold won't save us now
Blazing scarlet, burning darkness
Broken red skies are endless
Broken red skies are endless
The reason I guess why you left me here
They look like the old wounds you can't suture
They are the scars of time
Blazing scarlet, burning darkness
Broken red skies are endless
All hail the human race...

I Think My Face Hates Me

I THINK MY FACE HATES ME
I'm lonely smoking Lamberts in the park
Thinking of a future I can't start
I'm going home
or I'm going down
I've been lying on the floor just eating time
Pretending there's no light behind my eyes
I'm going home
or I'm going down
Every day I am reborn
In the skin I've had before
Every night I am the light
Before the dawn
I may just find a way to walk the line
But my knees are cracked from begging all the time
I'm going home
or I'm going down
You told me I don't have this crucifix to bear
And if I look ahead I'll see that it's not there
I'm going home
or I'm going down

ONE TRACK MIND
What would it take to be the better man?
To say, 'Yes, I can - I'll never let you down'
Constant mistakes - pathetic apologies
Want to effect a change and make it alright
Today is the day - today is that day
I kill the doubt inside and learn to play your game
This is more than our salvation
One track mind
And all it's taken
You can't save us
You can't play this out
I feel it now - it was ebbing away
Like my sanity, it was holding me down
What would it take to feel whole again?
Like learning to breathe - don't hold your breath
Today is the day - today is that day
I kill the doubt inside and learn to play your game
Ch
You all say the same
You all stay the same

DANCE WITH THE HUNTED
Plugging you in again
I promised you that
The drugs would work this time
Wiring into your veins
The pressure keeps rising
It keeps on rising, keeps on rising
The spotlight I always craved
Keeps pulling me back but
There's no light behind these eyes
Breathe on your own
Is art ever worth the pain?
To watch you die on centre stage
For fifteen minutes of shame
The disappointment never ends
It never ends...
Three days in Amsterdam
I thought that I'd find myself
But hiding is nowhere to be found
And holding onto the anchor
I was the last one to realise
That I was drowning
The spotlight I always craved
Keeps pulling me back but
There's no light behind these eyes
Breathe on your own

TRACES
Behind the noise is more noise
Can you hear this?
Do you want to
Crave or fear this?
It means the world to me, it means the...
There are traces of the old times
Like battle scars in my mind
Only the world to me
Turn the lights out - leave this home
Wherever the white lines take us
Behind the noise is more noise
I remember chilling numbness
But still wanting...
It means the world to me, it means the...
There are traces of the old times
Like battle scars in my mind
Only the world to me
Turn the lights out - leave this home
Wherever the white lines take us
It means the world to me
The world

WILLOWS
Skin so thin, so thin we see right through you
And we blame ourselves, don't you blame yourself too?
Skin so thin, so thin it bleeds right through you
And we blame ourselves, don't you blame yourself too?
Walking wounded - in a black wind
Take me to the place where the willows grow
Write down everything that hurt us so
Everything we never said
When the white flag is burning out
You're turning it inside out
Seeking solace and redemption
Take me to the place I can talk with ghosts
Tell them all the things that hurt us most
Everything we never said
When the white flag is burning out
You're turning it inside out
Burning out
Skin so thin, so thin we see right through you
And we blame ourselves, don't you blame yourself too?
Skin so thin, so thin it bleeds right through you
And we blame ourselves, don't you blame yourself too?
Skin so thin
