I should have turned to you and said
"It's alright, darling someday you'll forget me" And your eyes would have welled up with tears I would have as well So these days, a wandering mind holds sway And hope is enough Sing with me Sing with me Will you cry out for me in your sleep Wasting what precious little time *we have had* Like a dead man trying to find life Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights Like dead man trying to find life Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights The colour of her eyes The taste of her flesh I feel again Quietly leave me Quietly leave me Again Again 02. Hate And Heartache
I don't have to tell you things are bad.
Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! We all lie To ourselves It never changes a thing We all lie to ourselves Never changing Never changing A thing Red wine and worry The demons are watching us, washing lips I feel sober [?] Goddamn me and everything The trials of hate and heartache Are the martyr of my best days I will destroy it all 03. Pine Boxes
Just remember this... feeling... emptiness....
04. Guilt And The Like
Your hands lay like stones
If you try to lift them You drop them on your face This is the moment things change The moment things would never be the same So you... you crawl and... upward If you were here now, I'd cut you open Because I don't want to feel anymore I want it all to burn? This guilt is all-seeing Killing anyone To the star? We all ... Until the end 05. Generation Of Ghosts
Days left of fall, the dimming light falls
Our fighting soldiers home to rest. And shadows watching out, To wage a raging war. A victory for all I see. Ashes crowd the air, as silence scars the air. A history of dreams collide. You can see it on their faces, Smell it on their lips, A generation of ghosts, Lost and weak. Fade away. What little of love left within me, Has been bled dry... and buried. Ashes crowd the air, as silence scars the air. A history of dreams collide. A fallen friend then speaks, A wasted round of dreams, A history of dreams collide. I will sing with the end of all things. 06. Rocking Chairs And Shotguns
Can you feel as... a body?
Can you feel as... a life? Can you feel as... in the blood? Nothing will end stretch out, crushing everything? Lie there and bleed my friend I want to be your body, your limbs I want you to reach out and find nothing 08. A Beautiful Corpse
A beautiful corpse sits waiting
So lost and silently breathing? Our... and lies? There is a knife ... in your neck ...is the bottle? ...the skin? You'll never work? One last time kiss these broken lips goodbye Sweeter than honey and lies |
