Awake
01:10
|

|
Close your eyes and go to sleep
I pray that your sleep is deep
I can't see you come the day
Not like you'll wake up anyway
Close your eyes and count to ten
Fears and sheep they fill your head
I can't see you come the day
Not like you'll wake up anyway
Not like you'll wake up anyway

This Hell
03:41
|
|||
|
Feels Like I need you
know that I'll deceive you
It's just a matter of time
Masochist I tend to
pretend to befriend you
when no one else is watching
if only you could see through
These mirrors placed around you
My fertile garden of lies
growing to placate you
sprouting through the cracked earth
you would realize
I know that you'll forgive me
for this hell i put you through
and i have another
waiting just for you
I know that you'll forgive me
for this hell I put you through
Fearful that you caught on
have to turn the charm on
get you back on my good side
slither like a serpent
bow my head to repent
you fall for it every time
This has become my favorite game
controlling the pieces that keep you sane
I know that you'll forgive me
for this hell i put you through
and i have another
waiting just for you
I know that you'll forgive me
for this hell I put you through

Kissing a Spider
03:20
|
|||
|
I saw a young girl
kissing a spider
a beautiful girl
lips like velvet
sitting so quietly
by the lake
light pierced every hair out of place
two long legs, followed by eight
in silken fibers down near the lake
(I saw a young girl
kissing a spider
from my vantage point
a rock right behind her
eyes held a glimmer like the eyes of a child
her secrets all hid in a bittersweet smile)

The Wire
02:08
|
|||
|
Die my hair as I begin to sigh
so full of angst reached my breaking point
full of dark tears that fall like rain
God himself, forgets my name
I am the wire that twists insane
I am the mind of the burning flame
(Screams reduced to whispers)
forge my demons on the ethereal plane
I am the wire that twists insane
I am the mind of the burning flame

Your Eyes

Your eyes
cold, distant, unfeeling
that's what makes you
so appealing

World Goes Boom
03:05
|

Say goodbye everyone as we revolve around the sun
glasses on so you and i can stare head on in to the sky
a collision
our decision
to waste this beauty away
and when you're dead
we'll run off to play.
this little life you have to live
this little effort that you give.
you put your toxins in the air
you give us warnings
we don't care
we're so smart we'll live forever
our lifelines will never be severed
you filter your truth through lies
face it man, you're gonna die
face it man, you're gonna die
World goes round
then it goes boom
World goes round
then it goes boom
World goes round
then it goes boom
Party's over
now clear the room

Ingenue
02:49
|

|
Should I buy a ticket for the show?
Not sure if I will even go
The ingenue looks just like you
but she does things you'd never do
it's an opera for the soul
it's the act of letting go
it's a dream upon a stage
and you don't have to show your age
Should I even bother with this show?
not sure if you will even go
The ingenue looks just like you
but she did things you'd never do
And the crowd all gathers round
listen to that joyous sound
and the curtains about to fall
at least you know you gave your all
A seat is saved for you
Should I buy a ticket for the show?
Not sure if I will even go
The ingenue looks just like you
but she does things you'd never do
it's an opera for the soul
it's the act of letting go
it's a dream upon a stage
and you don't have to show your age
A seat is saved for me.

Out West
03:08
|

|
I'm not the man you used to know
He took a train somewhere out west
packed his things and he just left
his memories he left behind
maudlin and maddening times
now the crowd is dying down
no sattellites to hang around
he's not used to looking up
and seeing stars in his eyes
I'm not the man you realize
he was into compromise
it's done this way or not at all
funny how a heart can be so big
but a mind can be so small
I'm not the man you've come to know
afraid of falling in the snow
angels listen, so i'm told
devils grasping at my soul
Sometimes it feels like I will never have control
Sometimes it feels like I will never have control
Sometimes it feels like I will never have control
Sometimes it feels like I will never have control
I'm not the man you fear at night
he drinks too hard and picks a fight
comes home cruel and licking wounds
Bleeding drunk with blackened eyes
he falls asleep before you cry
I'm not these men but we're akin
too tough to see beneath the skin
hurts too much to let love in
hurts too much to let love in
And though I can not let you in
I can never let you go
And though I can not let you in
I can never let you go
And though I can not let you in
I can never let you go
And though I can not let you in
I can never let you go

The Spark that is Love

It all starts in the dark
It all starts in the dark
It all starts in the dark
with a spark
it all starts with a kiss
it all starts with a kiss
it all starts with a kiss
just like this
The spark that is love
The spark that is love
The spark that is love
unrestrained
The spark that is love
The spark that is love
The spark that is love
inside you babe
It all starts in the dark
It all starts in the dark
It all starts in the dark
with a spark
it all starts with a kiss
it all starts with a kiss
it all starts with a kiss
just like this
The spark that is love
The spark that is love
The spark that is love
unrestrained
it all starts with a kiss
it all starts with a kiss
it all starts with a kiss
just like this
It all starts in the dark
