Here's a song from an open mind
I give it to you because I can And if you're thinking that it's not that kind It's cos my mood swings make me feel ashamed It can pass the time A girl with eyes that see a hundred years Half remembered, this is my dream Spinning out from where the hole appears I've never seen her but I've got photographs It can blow your mind An idea falls from a porcelain sky It won't make you rich and it won't get you high Out of the void it comes From an open mind Out of the void it comes It comes from my mind 02. Blackfield Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Curling lips, fingertips, dead eye dips
I saw it all in the blackfield Splinter cracks, summer tracks, paperbacks We found them all in the blackfield In the shade, whistle blades, singing fades In the blackfield She wants to stay and talk all day so I remark when it gets dark All the pale things under the earth Will reverse River glass, cycle past, overcast I saw it all in the blackfield Copper sky, shadows rise, bridge of sighs We had it all in the blackfield Skin tracks, face facts, fade to black In the blackfield She wants to stay and talk all day so I remark when it gets dark All the pale things under the earth Will reverse 03. Glow Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen, Steven Wilson
I show the scars of every fear and doubt
I hurt myself to let the darkness out Out The days go by and nothing brings me joy The glow was strong when I was a boy But it's gone And the glow It goes So slow It goes Cracks appear and passion slips away Colours fade and turn to shades of grey Fade away If you knew the man I used to be Please hold me under the sea Or scratch my arms till they bleed Save me Will you help me to feel the glow? 04. Scars Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen, Steven Wilson
Brightest city buried in the dust
Lonely people stop and stare at us Together you and me are getting lost The sky falls It's getting hard for me to see the truth I lost my soul and gave myself to you You are an angel and the devil too A tear falls All that I got left are my precious scars I watch a teardrop falling from your eye You are so perfect when you cry In the corner all our endings lie Alone now All that I got left are my precious scars It's me that you need now It's me that you love now All that I got left are my precious scars (I wish I was immune then it wouldn't hurt) 05. Lullaby Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Share my cup
Tie me up Never part Break my heart Go to sleep Wound me deep Be at peace Make me bleed Do no harm Twist my arm Lie with grace Smash my face Kiss the ground Drag me down Stop the noise Smash my toys How does it feel without your drugs? (Sing you a lullaby) How does it feel without my love? (Sing you a lullaby) 06. Pain Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen
Here I'm standing on the seashore
She is gone, now she's gone All the angels praying for me As I fall, as I fall While I'm melting in the rain, d, deep in pain, she is so far Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long? To my nightmare with the devils I'll go strong, I'll go strong All my friends now try to save me What a joke, what a joke 07. Summer Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen, Steven Wilson
Love me as the summer gone
When eyes were closed and days were long, so long I burned a torch for you but all the while Somewhere in the haze you lost your smile Love me as the winter comes Don't cast your shadow on my soul, please don't Don't let me sink, don't let the darkness in Let your perfect fingers touch my skin Heart needs a home It's a dark and empty road When you're alone Love me as the springtime comes Let your song drift down the stairs to me Waiting here along the way to blue Remembering the days I spent with you 08. Cloudy Now Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen, Steven Wilson
In a violent place we can call our country
Is a mixed up man and I guess that's me The sun's in the sky but the storm never seems to end It's a place of sorrow but we call it a home And the darkest thoughts, yeah I guess they're my own There's wealth in the bank but there's nothing to show inside In a special place that I call my life The father was cruel and he lost his wife But I don't see either cos I live across the street It's a beautiful thing when it starts to rain A man who drinks just to drown the pain And I can't stop from dreaming there's something else We are a fucked up generation It's cloudy now A fucked up generation It's cloudy now We gotta get out of here It's cloudy now A fucked up generation It's cloudy now 09. The Hole In Me Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen
The hole in me
I cannot reach The one who bleeds Please set him free The hole in me The hole in me That no-one sees The hole too deep Inside of me What have I done? Treat me tonight like a movie star Who will never die Always surrounded by girls like you Kill all my loneliness Kill all my loneliness The hole in me That never sleeps Born with me It's killing me 10. Hello Music & lyrics by Aviv Geffen, Steven Wilson
Through a different kind of silence
I'm waiting, I'm wasting Into the road of sadness I'm walking without you Hello, hello, hello, hello Is it gonna last? Why don't you come and take me with you? And so I know you had to go I'm dreaming of the past An echo of the years we passed through Asleep in your arms I'm drifting I'm falling in sorrow Dead to the world you left me In footsteps I follow |
