Don't Look To Me
05:38
|
|||
|
This is so many steps from where you ever needed to be
Looking up from a hole, a hole you dug in the ground
Nobody wanted, nobody wanted for you to be alone
It's just, it's what you chose
Don't look to me
Don't look to me
Don't look to me
A curve has taken your perspective, now you're staring at dead ends as though they were doors
At one time you were loved and respected, but not anymore
No, not anymore
And now, no one even looks your way, well, why would they?
When we all know there's nothing left to say
What terrifies them is the feeling that given the chance to do everything all over again, you wouldn't see any other way
Don't look to me
Don't look to me
Don't look to me

Love Your Mind
03:41
|

|
Do not fear time
There will be time
Time to live
Time to love
Love your mind, love your mind, love your mind
Do not fear time
There will be time
Time to be
Time to fly
In your mind, in your mind, in your mind
If you love, love your mind

Lucky Boy
04:16
|
|||
|
You’ve got all the answers, you've got all you need
The plates pilled high so you must feed
Oh my my my what a lucky lucky life you lead
With all this truth you can barely see
Your such a Lucky Boy
Your such a Lucky Boy
You've finished fighting, so you plant seeds
You tell everybody your expertise
Oh my my my what a wise old man you’ll be
The weight of your experience crushing me
I’m such a lucky lucky boy, well lucky lucky me
Your such a lucky lucky boy, well lucky lucky me

Pacesetter
03:01
|
|||
|
Hey hey it's time, for you to meet a real pacesetter
Find this art of mind this heart of mine making movements in the order of magnitudes better than you, so much better than you
In the basement your replacement waits with bated breath and naked contempt, spilling out falling out of love with, falling out of love with, time to make your move
Crashing, burning, gasping, yearning, oh make it quick, I can't stand it
Even chances, haunted glances, suspicious eyes, that don't disguise your hate anymore, anymore
Hey hey it's time, for you to meet a real pacesetter

The Eventual
03:42
|
|||
|
In the dark throwing stark shadows, in an empty space
Up against the wall and you're alive and I’m alive, in The Eventual
A smell in the air burning hair, smoke takes our place
A crying shame, makes you think, makes you tame, makes you think again
The Eventual
The Eventual
Up against the wall and you're alive and I’m alive,
and your alive and I’m alive.

More Time
04:22
|
|||
|
So near, time to react
A clear, hateful act
There's no going back
Gangway
Your wasting, away fast
Your wasting, one more time
More time
There's no, more time
So let's stop beating about the burning bush
Put your wasted hand in mine
We both know that there’s
No more
Too late, much too fast
Always, left to last
If you’re, even asked
Gangway
Your waisting, obscenely mask
Your waisting, one more time
More time
There's no, more time
So let's stop beating about the burning bush
Put your wasted hand in mine,
We both know that there’s
No more time
More time
There's no, more time
So let’s stop beating about the burning bush
Your desolated hand in mine
We both know that there’s
No more time

Regret Me Not
02:06
|
|||
|
No road taken is in vain
Glory always lead to pain
Full memories bring me back again
Regret me not you own your past
Forget the lock that you had cast
Expect the best has come at last
To live well is your only task
No road taken is in vain

Never Loved
04:43
|
|||
|
You’re thinking that you're never loved, you're worried your not good enough and I, can’t bring myself to tell you
your the only one I’ve ever loved, but I know that I just can't trust, we’ve both seen nightmares that have come true
Like eating pieces of a broken cup, mouth fills up with teeth and blood, you always need what I can’t give you
I hope the ground will open up, swallow us both into a, place where our hopes have all become truths
Don’t even say what we can see
Don’t even say what ould have been
You’re thinking that you're never loved, you're worried your not good enough and I, can’t bring myself to tell you
your the only one I’ve ever loved, but I don’t think this is good for us, we’re always burning what we can’t loose
Like catching bullets ‘cos they're made of gold, hate the young and fear the old, not everyone here has the same rules.
One time we’ll both open up, live to regret all the, things that we could have but have not used
Don’t even say what we can be
Don’t even say what we could have seen

Exquisitely Bad
03:44
|
|||
|
Well if you kill me, Well if you kill me, would you take the time?
Well if you kill me, Well if you kill me, would you take the time, to fill the grave in?
I haven't known you for that long, but in that time I’ve grown so fond of the way you act like you don’t care if I’m even there.
I haven't known you for that long, but in that time I’ve grown so sure, that if I stood up in your way you’d push me out of a moving train.
Well if you kill me, Well if you kill me, would you take the time?
Well if you kill me, Well if you kill me, would you take the time, to fill the grave in?
The fucks you give are thin on the ground, your will to live should be world-renowned, feel like I've been hit by an elegant truck, get out of the way or be shit out of luck.
Whatever I’m needing, whatever I say, wherever I bleed and start to decay, if ever I'm even a few steps away I have this feeling of this terrible fate.
give it a minute or give it an hour your contempt like a beautiful flower, it sprouts and blooms in a soil fertilised by my body melting before your eyes.
I can't be angry, i can't be sad, I can’t believe how exquisitely bad, I feel today like never before I can’t stand it and i want more.

Breaking
05:13
|
|||
|
In a sense I'm breaking, in a sense I'm falling down
But there's no sense wasting I mean to say don’t take to the ground
let the old man say his piece take a glass hair and break it into three, leave the rest unseen
Crack the air with your sad speech an iron will can take you out to sea, while the old town sleeps
if we had sense we’d make it, but instead we made it too hard
I’ve never liked your taste in, I mean to say I never fit the part
Let the old man rest in peace, make a hard choice and step into the breach, leave the rest to dream
Crack a smile before they weep a foot in front of the other takes you deep, so close to me
In a sense I'm breaking, in a sense I'm falling down
Innocence is wasted, on the people still above the ground
In a sense I'm breaking, in a sense I'm falling
In a sense I'm breaking, in a sense I'm falling

What it Says About Me
04:10
|
|||
|
You’re the player of a game, a game you know is wrong
Caught between what right and what helps you get along
Living through tiny victories because you're losing the war, trying to take enough being told that you want more
Engineering pleasure making cracks in the walls, open up a hole see where the light falls
I don’t like what I can see
I don't like what it says about me
You're damned because you do and damned because you won’t, you’ve dragged yourself to hell, just to stay afloat
Feeling guilty, for feeling bad, for feeling unfulfilled by what you have
No-one could say, you've committed a crime, but every passing moment is appeasement of a kind
I don’t like what I can see
I don't like what it says about me
You're damned because you do and damned because you won’t, you’ve dragged yourself to hell, just to stay afloat
Close your eyes so you don’t have to see
Close your eyes so you don’t have to see

The Aftermath
03:51
|
|||
|
There's a change coming on
But we’re afraid to be alone
We agree to leave well alone
But it follows you home, it follows you home
We don't disagree, we barely even speak
But here we are in the aftermath
The aftermath, the aftermath,
The aftermath, the aftermath,
The aftermath, the aftermath,
The aftermath, the aftermath, again
Trying to live well
In a nearly burned-out shell
Momentum carries you so far
into the dark, into the dark
We’re not bad company, we rarely ever meet
and here we are in the aftermath
The aftermath, the aftermath,
The aftermath, the aftermath,
The aftermath, the aftermath,
The aftermath, the aftermath, again
Let it end
Let it end
Let it end
Let it end.

Falling Away
03:55
|
|||
|
By the time we’d started it was already too late
The theory of the case, so riddled with mistakes
We did it anyway, ‘cos that's what we do, ‘cos that's what we do
It's falling away, and even after
It started to take on sinister actors
We needed to taste that sweetest nectar
In the tired morning, we deny the facts
We still have our pride and that's the end of that
We’ll do it again and again, ‘cos that's what we do, ‘cos that's what we do
It's falling away now even faster
Pretend it’s a burden when you're the master
We just invented a defendable past

Unremarkable Sin
04:14
|
|||
|
Do not cry
As time goes by
Waking up on my own, and there's a pain inside my bones, that cannot be accounted for, alone by sleeping on the bare floor
Move away from the dawn, turn my face to the wall, afraid to see what it will bring, pedestrian and unremarkable sin
Crawling back inside to bleed, It’s safer now to hide and be,
Defensive and afraid of the, mistakes that we are yet to make
A case in point of fact that shows, and robs me of my principals, a complicated world to know, the warmth only comes from other peoples windows
Let the time, safely go by
Until the time, safely we die
A body dreamt in enterprise, a smiling face and staring eyes, promises I will not keep, a trusting nature’s only meant for the weak
Dig the hole and get on in, embrace the epinephrine, a mind away from shifting winds, an inland empire of which we are kings
Naked greed is clothed in grey, and sons and daughters went away,
keep you occupied until, time comes in for its one and only kill
Find the cold it’s comforting, fold away a withered wing, close an eye and move no more, don’t try the handle it might be an unlocked door
Let the time, safely go by
Until the time, safely we die
Safely we die

An Imagined Sense
02:52
|
|||
|
In the eyes in the eyes you see there, just what's been left behind
In the trace in the imprint just there, the sign of a guilty mind
In the voice in the voice you hear there, that's it that telltale sign
in the catch in the tightened cord there, just what you expect to find
That not how the world works, it never has, an imagined sense of, rightness to be had
That not how the world works, it never has, an imagined sense of, Justice to be had
(To be had, to be had)
You can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance so you must be free
You can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance so you must be free
It is plain it is plain to see here, just what to expect of your kind
It is the common sense we have here, the infallible public shrine
It's in the way in the way things are here, best left unchanged in time
It’s a truth rising up from the earth here, a feeling beyond divine
That not how the world works, it never has, an imagined sense of, rightness to be had
That not how the world works, it never has, an imagined sense of, Justice to be had
You can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance so you must be free
You can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance you can dance so you must be free

Can't Happen Here
04:46
|
|||
|
You feel, like things ain't really real
You see, things you can't unsee
Clench your jaw shut your eyes
Console yourself, compromise
It can’t, no it can’t, it can’t, it can’t really happen here
Cant move, caus’ you've got too much to loose
Play the game, even though known it's insane
Accept your place, try to survive
Grit your teeth, push it down inside
Cause it’s already, it’s already, God it’s already, it’s already happened here.

Walk Away
03:38
|
|||
|
Sometimes it’s best to walk away, don’t let your sunk cots drag you in
Sometimes you know you shouldn’t stay, but you can’t move thinking it’s you who must be wrong
Sometimes its right to break the chain, you tried your best but this is one you can’t win
Sometimes commitment takes away, more than it gets you in the end and that's ok
And you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never look back again
And you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never regret a thing
Sometimes your friends won’t stay the same, but only you can know what you should do
Sometimes you must be led astray even just so you can come back again
Sometimes you’re frightened of the pain, won’t open the door if you don’t know what's within
Sometimes it’s just the only way, your sure to cry but the only way is through and that's ok
And you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never look back again
And you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never regret a thing
And you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never look back again
And you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never, and you never regret a thing
