You say that God
Only laughs at acid humor
Well that's how far away you're gone
You talk a lot
But you only speak in rumor
Who left your T.V. set on
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED
AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GONER
I COULDN’T HELP BECAUSE
I MADE YOU IN MY HONOR
BUT TIMES A LINE
THAT NEVER MEASURES ANY LONGER
AND WE’RE STILL HERE
SO YOU WILL HAVE TO SUFFER ON
SO HOLD AND LET GO AND HOLD ON
HOLD ON
So tired of time
So tired of being newer
The stars go out in my mind
So far from home
The lights grow ever fewer
Gather to me all that still shines
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED
AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GONER
I COULDN’T HELP BECAUSE
I MADE YOU IN MY HONOR
BUT TIMES A LINE
THAT NEVER MEASURES ANY LONGER
AND WE’RE STILL HERE
SO YOU WILL HAVE TO SUFFER ON
SO HOLD AND LET GO AND HOLD ON
HOLD ON
In a crocodile's stomach
In a spider's web
In a lake so black
It shone like the dead
In the only place that ever was
I saw you there in my reflection

I Promise You
03:44
|

It hurts oh yes it hurts I know
But someone's got to feel
I can't say what this moment means
Or even if its real
I see sometimes in dreams a blink
Of who we used to be
Living on the edge of places
We would never see
BUT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
IN THE CENTER OF THE SUN
SOMETHING LIVES ALONE IN HIDING
THAT WON’T MISS US WHEN WE’RE GONE
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH
YOU COULD DISCONNECT THE PHONE
BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE ALONE
THERE’S SOMETHING LEFT
I PROMISE YOU
It hurts oh yes it hurts I know
But someone's got to live
So take whatever fills your heart
To ease the life you give
Still we can't connect the place
We are to where we were
Flailing in the darkness
Clouded starless and unsure
BUT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
IN THE CENTER OF THE SUN
SOMETHING LIVES ALONE IN HIDING
THAT WON’T MISS US WHEN WE’RE GONE
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH
YOU COULD DISCONNECT THE PHONE
BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE ALONE
THERE’S SOMETHING LEFT
I PROMISE YOU
Shining yes it shines
In the dark behind our eyes
Compass curves and dotted lines
All come together
Still we stumble and we spill
But we must gather what we will
All the weight it takes to feel
The stone holds the feather
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH
YOU COULD DISCONNECT THE PHONE
BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE ALONE
THERE’S SOMETHING LEFT
I PROMISE YOU

The Strongest Drug
04:00
|

This is the story of the lonely man
With the funny face
And all the funny feelings
That his heart could not erase
The things he longed for all long gone
Can never be replaced
They changed and changed and changed
Till only day and night remained
Ashamed ashamed ashamed ashamed
This is the story of the funny man
With the lonely face
His belly full to burst
His tongue too burnt to taste
His life a strange reflection
Of forever changing shapes
As never ending wheels of light
Run mazes through his brain
Ashamed ashamed ashamed ashamed
The mirrors in the fun house
Don’t make everyone complain
The strongest drug can’t take away
The reason for the pain
The feelings you hold on to
Are a picture not a place
Your seat waits at the table
Of the man with the lonely face
This is the story of the lonely man
With the funny face
And all the funny feelings
That his heart could not erase
The things he longed for all long gone
Can never be replaced
They changed and changed
And changed and changed and changed

Forever changed
Passing through the flames
To somewhere strange
James
Can you feel the pain
Above the burning rain
The red moon wanes
THE PAIN YOU FEEL THE PAIN YOU GIVE
THE MAN YOU ARE DESERVES TO LIVE
AND LEAVE BEHIND THE DEAD TO DIE
AND NEVER KNOW THE REASON WHY
AND WHEN YOUR DREAMS DEVOUR YOUR REST
LIKE BLACK TATTOOS THAT STAIN YOUR CHEST
BEST TAKE COMFORT WHERE YOU CAN
THE WAR WILL NEVER REALLY END
James
You will never die
Lost inside the lie
Of secrets unexplained
James
Hiding in your brain
Far from where you came
A man without a name
THE PAIN YOU FEEL THE PAIN YOU GIVE
THE MAN YOU ARE DESERVES TO LIVE
AND LEAVE BEHIND THE DEAD TO DIE
AND NEVER KNOW THE REASON WHY
AND WHEN YOUR DREAMS DEVOUR YOUR REST
LIKE BLACK TATTOOS THAT STAIN YOUR CHEST
BEST TAKE COMFORT WHERE YOU CAN
THE WAR WILL NEVER REALLY END

Dream of Fire
02:48
|
|||
I go walking in my mind
Gathering birds light up the wire
With their feathers dripping fire
In burning showers
All the flowers bloom in flame
Golden blossoms never fade
Dancing silent in the shade
A long while after
I FORGOT OR I WAS NOT
THE ONE I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN
LOST AND TIRED INSIDE THIS DREAM OF FIRE
I MEANT NO HARM AND NO ALARM
I CAME UNARMED AND LEFT UNSEEN
AND I WILL NEVER REST AGAIN FOREVER
All along the river line
The water shows the fire shine
Unconsumed and still undying
A long while after
Blackened skies forever night
But the fields are all alight
Not another soul in sight
Alone I wander
I FORGOT OR I WAS NOT
THE ONE I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN
LOST AND TIRED INSIDE THIS DREAM OF FIRE
I MEANT NO HARM AND NO ALARM
I CAME UNARMED AND LEFT UNSEEN
AND I WILL NEVER REST AGAIN FOREVER

Shards
03:30
|
|||
Shards of stars fall all around me
Sharp like shattered glass upon me
I close my eyes to hide from the beauty
And pray for the broken rain to pass me by
Bye bye
Hide away with me in safety
Somewhere that the sky won’t take me
Promise that you’ll never forsake me
And pray for the broken rain to pass us by
Bye bye
Bye bye
THIS MAY BE THE NIGHT
WE RUN OUT OF TIME
ANGELS BATHED IN LIGHT
MOTIONLESS AND BLIND
Hide your hope deep down inside you
Let it shimmering surround you
Set it free in the end if you have to
And pray for these broken lives to pass us by
Bye bye
Bye bye
THIS MAY BE THE NIGHT
WE RUN OUT OF TIME
ANGELS BATHED IN LIGHT
MOTIONLESS AND BLIND

Pictures of the Dead
05:06
|

The day I met you my whole world was wrong
The day I lost you I dreamed this song
The days before will never be anymore
The days yet to come have all come and gone
WE'RE POSING FOR PICTURES OF THE DEAD
CARVING INTO WAX THE SOUNDS WE'VE SAID
WRITING DOWN THE STORIES LEFT UNREAD
ALL WE SEE AND HEAR WILL DISAPPEAR
LIKE THE PICTURES IN MY HEAD
The day I touched you
My whole world broke down
The day I kissed you I was nowhere to be found
The days before then never came again
The days from now on are only light and sound
WE'RE POSING FOR PICTURES OF THE DEAD
CARVING INTO WAX THE SOUNDS WE'VE SAID
WRITING DOWN THE STORIES LEFT UNREAD
ALL WE SEE AND HEAR WILL DISAPPEAR
LIKE THE PICTURES IN MY HEAD
I pray the fates will keep us alive
That we will find some way to survive
Will we roam the wastes or seek shelter inside
Living with old photographs
Of strangers who have died
WE'RE POSING FOR PICTURES OF THE DEAD
CARVING INTO WAX THE SOUNDS WE'VE SAID
WRITING DOWN THE STORIES LEFT UNREAD
ALL WE SEE AND HEAR WILL DISAPPEAR
LIKE THE PICTURES IN MY HEAD

Strange Things
03:36
|
|||
When the clouds bleed black
And the wind fans the flames
When the night lights up
And it spells out our names
If I pass out now
I may have never been awake
Until the stars die out
Or go back to where they came
AND I CAN’T SEE AHEAD SO THE LIGHT MUST BE DEAD
OR MY EYES ARE TOO DARK TO GO ON
AND I CAN’T TURN AROUND TO RECALL EVERY SOUND
AND DIVIDE ALL THE SCREAMS UP FROM THE SONGS
I LOST ALL MY TOUCH FROM FEELING TOO MUCH
FOR TOO LONG NOW I’M BLIND TO WHAT’S GONE
YOU SAID TO ME ONCE IN A DREAM THAT WE WOULD SEE
STRANGE THINGS IF WE LIVED FOR TOO LONG
I have outlived myself
By at least ten thousand days
Overstayed my welcome
In this place I’ve lost my way
I’m half alive and half awake
And fading into grey
And still I hear you whispering
So soft for me to stay
AND I CAN’T SEE AHEAD SO THE LIGHT MUST BE DEAD
OR MY EYES ARE TOO DARK TO GO ON
AND I CAN’T TURN AROUND TO RECALL EVERY SOUND
AND DIVIDE ALL THE SCREAMS UP FROM THE SONGS
I LOST ALL MY TOUCH FROM FEELING TOO MUCH
FOR TOO LONG NOW I’M BLIND TO WHAT’S GONE
YOU SAID TO ME ONCE IN A DREAM THAT WE WOULD SEE
STRANGE THINGS IF WE LIVED FOR TOO LONG
I bend now so low
But I can’t remember any higher
I walk now so cold
Through an endless sea of living fire
I see now before me
Where my steps at last expire
I lay in the shadows
Cast down from the sky
AND I CAN’T SEE AHEAD SO THE LIGHT MUST BE DEAD
OR MY EYES ARE TOO DARK TO CARRY ON
AND I CAN’T TURN AROUND TO RECALL EVERY SOUND
AND DIVIDE ALL THE SCREAMS UP FROM THE SONGS
I LOST ALL MY TOUCH FROM FEELING TOO MUCH
FOR TOO LONG NOW I’M BLIND TO WHAT’S GONE
YOU SAID TO ME ONCE IN A DREAM THAT WE WOULD SEE
STRANGE THINGS IF WE LIVED FOR TOO LONG

We Two Alone
03:28
|
|||
WE TWO ALONE STAND IN THE FIRE
CLOSER TO COMING APART
SOMEWHERE IS LOST SOMEONE IS TIRED
SOMETHING IS GONE FROM MY HEART
All I can see is behind me it blinds me
And binds me from making a sound
All you can say is don’t go away
What we lost wasn’t meant to be found
Now there's just me and you
And the night we walk through
As the world slowly slips through our hands
And the words that you said linger on in my head
All we touch will someday turn into sand
WE TWO ALONE STAND IN THE FIRE
CLOSER TO COMING APART
SOMEWHERE IS LOST SOMEONE IS TIRED
SOMETHING IS GONE FROM MY HEART
Led by the light that shines on through the night
To the gates of the morning to come
I can feel but can’t see more than just you and me
Carry onward to meet with the sun
And whats sad is whats true
But for me and for you
There's a truth that will not fall apart
If we do what we can with your hand in my hand
We can find something light in the dark
WE TWO ALONE STAND IN THE SUN
MOVING BEYOND WHERE WE’VE GONE
LOST IN THE CROWD NOW GATHERING ROUND
FINDING THE STRENGTH TO MOVE ON

INDICATOR
TELL ME WHY
TELL ME WHY
WILL I DIE
INDICATOR
TELL ME WHY
WILL I DIE
WILL I DIE
Birds are flying
In the sky
How many are there
And what kind
Aviators
Fly so high
Stabilizers
Keep them right
Secrets hiding
Out of sight
Can you see them
Can you try
Count the bodies
Piled up high
Do you feel it
When you cry
INDICATOR
GIVE A SIGN
REACH A SUM
DRAW A LINE
INDICATOR
I FEEL FINE
TELL ME WHY
WILL I DIE
