LYRICS
*Moments* Days of sabotage and storms
Of reckless haze
Dreary lights in the calm
And remorse
We’re not prisoners of our actions
Nor our worst enemies
Only in the calm after
The onslaught
Give us shelter in moments of riot
Give us shelter in disarray
We’re not prisoners of our actions
Nor our worst enemies
Only in the calm after
The onslaught
Give us shelter in moments of riot
Give us shelter in disarray

*NightTime* How did I get here I think I asked for it
Straight long road ahead three figures further and further
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour
There’s a place in my mind they stop walking
Time stands still so I can catch up with them
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour
Why are they trying to leave me behind
Time stands still so I can get them in my mind
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour
Around me buildings falling
Running through the air
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour

*Under* It’s just a figment
Of your intelligence
I know what you were thinking under
We are what we think we are
I know what you were thinking under
Put me under
We are not the same
I promise you that
Can you promise me
That you won’t think it again
And I promise you that I’ll take everything back
If I could see myself through yours
I’d know what you were thinking under
But I’ll forgive myself
Cos we’re all the same
I’d know what you were thinking under
*
Put me under
We are not the same
I promise you that
Can you promise me
That you won’t think it again
And I promise you that I’ll take everything back
We are not the same
I promise you that
Can you promise me
That you won’t think it again
And I promise you that I’ll take everything back

*Held* We walk all alone
In this we suffer
We moan
Displaced debris
Collective doubt
Endless journey
To be unbound
And held
We walk all alone
In this we suffer
We moan
Displaced debris
Collective doubt
Endless journey
To be unbound
And held

*Beastie Queen* It’s wet outside I’ll sink right down
These murky mounds I’ll choke I’ll drown
Into endless clouds push my head right down
To the ends of the earth
In the dregs and the dirt
Into bottoms of my hidden voice
And rising oceans of my hidden poison
Right deep down to the ends of the earth
In the dregs and the dirt
I’ll sink right down
Push my head down
Are you beautiful cos they told you so
Are you a beast or a beauty when you’re on your own
It’s cold outside I’ll sink right down
These murky mounds I’ll choke I’ll drown
Into bottoms of my hidden voice
And rising oceans of my hidden poison
Right deep down to the ends of the earth
In the dregs and the dirt
I’ll sink right down
Push my head down
Are you beautiful cos they told you so
Are you a beast or a beauty when you’re on your own

*All things pretty* See you shine precious
Through these pallid shades of grey
Come over here
And play with me
Here’s my heart, let’s swim
Through a bliss-coated kiss
We could be all things
Pretty and precious
We could run
We could run
We could be
We could be
We could run
We could be
We could be
Things pretty
We could run
Through eternity
We could run
I want a pallid shade of grey
Make precious go away
I throw my heart through your window
And drown myself in your bath
*
We could run
We could be
We could be
Things pretty
We could run
Through eternity

*Note to Self * It hurts I’ve lost my mind
I’m a sorry sight tonight
It’ll turn up soon
I can’t think where I had it last time
I know this is not the last time
It’ll turn up soon
The lights are coming through the blinds
I feel so sick tonight
It’ll turn up soon
And the walls are closing in now
And i know that i’m being bad but
It’ll be alright
This dirty feeling
I’m losing sense
I’m losing sight
How’d I get here tonight
It hurts I’ve lost my mind
I’m a sorry sight tonight
It’ll turn up soon
I can’t think where I had it last time
I know this is not the last time
It’ll turn up soon
This dirty feeling
I’m losing sense
I’m losing sight
How’d I get here tonight
I’m almost gone tonight
This dirty feeling
On broken glass
I’m on my knees
How’d I get here tonight
I’m almost gone tonight

*Shiny Tears* I have some qualities and some included things
That have their own life
And those that I’ve made
And those that I dream
It’s such a hard life
Move my arms and move my legs
And you’ll pat my back
And take all my included things
No more
Not remembering anything before today
Or I could take them out
One at a time, one at a time
Shine with the qualities in the light
Shine with the qualities
And with shiny tears
No more
Shiny tears
Shiny tears are burning bright.

*Little Steps* It feels like the first one of the last days coming round
Reflecting in our water
In our direction
Little steps off the ground
Now is the time to realise
And create what we want now
Reflecting in our water
It was a lie
It’s the first day in disguise
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Give me yours
I’ll give you mine
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Give me yours
And I’ll give you mine
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Little steps off the ground
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Give me yours
I’ll give you mine
Little steps off the ground
Give me yours
I’ll give you mine

*Gone and Buried* Underground
There’s a place
Lonely hearts sound
A quiet place
But I can’t bury you now
We don’t get lost somehow
I knew it from the first day
To be whole
I‘m sick of you everyday
I really need you to go away
Underground in a place that’s safe
Now disappear in time and space
Underground
There’s no place
For soul mates found
Hearts embraced
But I can’t bury you now
We don’t get lost somehow
I knew it from the first day
To be whole
*
I‘m sick of you everyday
I really need you to go away
Underground in a place that’s safe
Now disappear in time and space
*
Underground
There’s no place
For soul mates found
Hearts embraced

LIFE JACKET Its not too late to chang This feeling I know I can If i try. If i try. I'm in this place now I know I cannot hide Theres no end only answers Maybe if I try Maybe if try When they open I'll see everything Put a pen between my teeth I know I can Smile If I try. If I try. Next time you have to remember When you felt loved Think now Think wrap it round you Life jacket Maybe if I try.
IN THE BLACK This is really getting to me now - I am blazing The lights are vicious and cruel
She looks suspicious and brutal Her eyes are muted Here comes the smell of flowers
And as the drumming gets louder And I promise to be good I push away the stars and open wide Then she got so far Her noise echoed back to me in the black In the Black
FOR ANNIE (taken from 'For Annie' by Edgar Allan Poe - )Thank you for the crisis - the danger is past And the lingering illness - is over at last Sadly I know I am shorn of my strength
And no muscle I move As I lie at full length But no matter I feel better at lenghth
And I lie so composedly Now I'm in my bed That any beholder Might fancy me dead And start beholding me, Thinking me dead Thinking me dead.
ABOVE And now that you are above, amongst the angels and stars
I know that you are, you are so beautiful When everyone was looking down, I wanted there to be more To admire the one I adore And while I spoke of you, my love, my loveMy voice was breaking I shouldnt have spoken at all And I will never speak the same
I ONLY HAVE EYES FORGazing at each other, in a candle-lit diner Beach Boys playing on the radio I want you honey you look so good Sipping wine he looks so fine I only have eyes for Beach Boys playing´ on the radio I only have eyes for Licking, flesh so tender, we begin to feast, chew and swallow Taste thicker and deeper I can feel him inside me And me inside of him I only have eyes for Waiter asks to leave, as he mops up the floor And outside we finish our meal Underneath the stars Licking, flesh so tender, we begin to feast, chew and swallow, slowly bit by bit, skin then tendons, chest then belly, thighs then
BEFORE THE TIDE Before the tide, before the tide I knew that you were about to say those words again, I shut off my ears and sung this tune in my head I wish our story had a middle and end Dont you wish that it were something else? But just close your eyes, the tide is rising any minute, Close your eyes, the tide is coming any minute now Please dont try to come any closer, as I watch you get further away I cant feel anything and when I look at you I have nothing to say, anyway I wish our story had a middle and end Dont you wish that it were something else?
5 MORE MINUTES Seems this days already ended, Way before it has begun So why am I still lying here Being blinded by the sun But my alarm clock keeps on ringing, and all I need is five more, just five more minutes. Corpse-smell oozing, And this beds as cozy as a funeral I can taste the buzzing from my guts But I cant get up And just a couple of minutes ago I was drifting though the skies Swimming through a sea of desire
EVA I wake up, Ive fallen down Suffocating pain, I close my eyes Everything around me is going five hundred miles per hour Slow motion frenzy, on a carocel, Im in hell Giddy breaths and Im melting Into the cold pavement And then like a miracle I look up and see her face The face of an angel, the face of an angel Smiling and bending down, ooh ooh bending down It was the bakers daughter Eva; she bled all the way to the store I figured it was over between us I wont be seeing my Eva no more Shes probably mixing in that chunk of flesh in to her daddys dough Probably mixing in that chunk of flesh into her daddys dough Eva bit a chunk out my face and spat it back in disgust Turned around and walked way Eva, don´t leave me here
THE CHASE There was a leaf Chasing me, down the street The cold air of winter And all the houses were asleep Their windows breathing deeply Through the quiet of that night The chase, the chase, the chase Sure I could hear the wind Ordering more leaves to join the chase Their rustling grew stronger and louder Louder and faster until Suddenly out of nowhere The ground in front of me began to tear
DEAD DOG Today I had a dream about Pedros bet friend He was dead, a broken neck Pedro tried to save him But... Little Pedro Diaz, he was Standing on the river bank Looking down, looking down He had ran a mile With his dog in his arms Pedro´s best friend, Pedros best friend To hide from the secret burial This dog looks dirty, Im gonna wash him In the water, in the water He had ran a mile With his dog in his arms Pedros best friend, Pedros best friend
PROSPERO One day I had eight gold fish coming out my mouth One big black one landed in the palm of my left hand My left hand I wondered where they came from Could they take me with them I wondered if they were gonna make me prospero Prospero I wondered where they were off to next and if I could tag along I promised I would take good care of themuntil the end, until the end Did they come to save me from baked beans on toast galore Because it was getting such a bore in the place I was roaming, roaming But I´m still roaming Prospero
