Running away, running away,
Running away forever It was her only chance of finding home Running away, running away, Running away together... With only thoughts of finding home. I'll wait for the Ocean to rise up And meet me, as it rose up before (I'll know the time...) I'll wait for the Ocean to rise up And greet me, as it rose up before (I'll know the year...) Because you're never alone ...Even when you're alone You're never alone... Watch the seventh wave Running away, running away, Running into the weather... With only thoughts of finding home Running away, running away, Running away forever I realize I'm on my own. On my way pass it on On my way pass it on I'll wait for the ocean to rise up And meet me as it rose up before (I'll know the time...) I'll wait for the ocean to rise up And greet me as it rose up before We're never alone Even when we're alone We're never alone...watch the ocean. 02. Life Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
My life is all that I've known
And it's all that keeps me here My time, is all that I own So I won't let it slip away... How long can this life go on Who we are what we are... I'll see you on the other side Wouldn't you rather live it on your own Even when it bends you over... So when it comes time to go home, You don't let them fade away... How long can this all go on, How long 'till it's over? And how long 'till it all comes down? ...And how bad do we need a new reminder? 03. Night Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Here I am, driving through Japan at night
Here I am, pretending everything's alright And I've got so far to go before the morn And I can't believe how much it hurts at home Here I am, living life inside a comic book Here I am, bored with everything... And I can't believe that I'm here to stay, 'Cause I never worked it out this way And I love you more than I can say, But I hate you every other way Rain, falling down Rain, falling down Rain, falling down Rain falling down over me I think I'm closer now I think I'm closer now It's getting closer now Under the light of the moon And I can't believe that I'm here to stay, 'Cause I never worked it out... And I love you more than I can say, But I hate you every other... And I'll keep my world from falling apart, In the corner of an aching heart So say you'll come into the city, Come back with me please... 04. Hide Nowhere Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Cold blue waves
Cold dead sky See in the sea what I need to be Cold blue waves Cold blue mind... (hear them talk about) Cold dead mind See in the sea what is and what will be Every dream I have wants me to stay Every night I try to find a way I hide nowhere They hide in my world I have nowhere to go Dreams come as they... Sleep comes as it... Dreams come as they do 05. Sister Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Sister
06. 3 A.M. Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Time will be on my side
No looking back this time All that I've known is gone Time to be moving on... 07. Voices In The Fan Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Who's the weakest now?
Caught up in the wire I'm already gone Who's the weakest now? It's the grey days that I'll remember the most It's the grey times in the water before morning I won't be alone Think of me at night Send my love to home I'll be alright It's the grey days that I remember the most It's the grey times in the water Before morning And it's only tonight that I'll be able to leave And it's only the weak That cry for me in morning Because tonight there will be no sleep Tonight it comes for me Please, help them understand I've become the voices in the fan Goodbye. 08. Greetings Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
From my world, I bring you greetings
From our world, I bring you greetings It's so hard to tame them ...It will be so hard to prove them wrong I believe, we'll lose our world for them... I believe, we'd throw up arms before them... ...And bore them So call it home 09. Regulator Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
I'm regulated
I'm regulated ...Odd times and all Odd times and all. Regulator, no meantime at all Time won't wait for me There goes that old feeling, I'm free again! 10. Funeral Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Jesus, here lies my brother
Tortured and blown Stretch for the heavens and go ...I watch him go Here it comes Jesus was a poor boy, Jesus was a poor boy "It's just a spring clean for the may queen" And this one's for the life, This one's for the funeral in the rain And if only for tonight, This one's for the funeral in the rain... The day's gone, and the year's gone, And I don't know when I'm coming home I can't hold on to what I've had, When in what I've had There's nothing left at all... So this one's for the life, This one's for the funeral in the rain And if only for tonight, Close your eyes and try to sleep again... A world away, you turn away, I'm wide awake, and I don't need your home Tell me why he went, it seems to be An element to this mystery It's so cold today, so I get away, And I'm left behind with nothing but words... 11. Bastard Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
1/ Not One Of My Better Days
Night time, turn around. Lonely is the city tonight Night time, all around. Lonely in the city tonight Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will) Ours is not to question why Same thing, everytime. It always seems to need what I'm not To all the hopeful ones; Nobody gives a fuck what you've got I only wish that I could pray to god (but you will) Stay a little longer, Please don't leave me alone Bastard, mother, father no... Time passed quicker than you will ever know And they can push me harder, But you know I'll never go And they will justify it, but you know It will take them slow... 2/ The Girl From Blue City The lights go out across the harbor And the boys are out on the corners Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly) And I don't feel a thing (It's too cold to worry) So in the corner by the dock Where there's no light It smells like piss but no one knows, And right now just to sleep would be alright ...Feel old, gone where the feelings go ...Gone now in a field of green, Gone where feelings go... 12. The Death Of Music Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Question...
Leapt like dog from man... Terminate high thinking... Known in your prophecy... Sun... Son... Sun it shifts, and brittleness subsides To sleep... sleep away One comes, the rain will always be And things I am Are things that should not be They laughed at me but we never bothered My friends and I There were no others Now it comes... Bolt across the blue... Shadows dance over the land... Walls high, water deep Brick and steel gathering speed Guess it's just a feeling ...Guess it's just a feeling... Rain may come The rain may never be In things you are Are things I need to be My friends were there but they never bothered Now there's you and I an There are no others It's like when death becomes musical ...It's musical It's like a death becomes musical Musical And it comes... To make sure that he will never rise And the groans from the bellies Have never cried this hard And the eyes of the wicked ones Have never been full of dust In the middle of the sea it waits... ...Closer... Home, nor anywhere on Earth on that final day will anyone be apart ...One...schooled...together... Towards the sea... And we may drown, fly, fall from faith ...But the pain won't be realized Because the emotions will hit as god should And the mountains will offer no shelter And the clouds will be no cover... No matter where we run... Don't die on me Don't go away When I need you here In my need The rain will come The rain will always be In things I am Are things that have to be My friends have come and I never bothered Myself and I There is no other It's like a death becomes musical It's musical 13. Things Beyond Things Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Once when I was young, I used to dream for hours and hours
I'd dream a world that wasn't small... And I'd travel to a valley where under trees and earth I'd set my girl... ...And I knelt down by her head And lay roses in her hair and I kissed her gently... But this is what you are As the sun sets in my eyes I know... I know I know I know I know I know And I know this one's the light And the worm inside of me Is the oldest wound that I've nursed along ...So don't try to get inside These things inside are wrong, things beyond things It's sick now It's rotten to the core, its eyes bulge and gaze at me... ...Lovingly... And I remember this smell from my dreams except it was sweeter then... And even in this room, where I used to lock my secrets It's starting to smell just like my friend And I told you not to breathe, so now I sit and watch the rain, I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know And I know this one's the dark And the woman inside of me, is the oldest fear that I've nursed along... So don't try to get inside These things inside are all just things |
