The night brings unquiet gems Their shine a door a cut a rend Fire burns beyond the breach Just within arms reach Hear the sound of the end The devil loves his friends The Shape sits on your chest Broken hands on weak wrists Get away still in place Starlight shines where there's no face Hear the sound of the end The devil loves his friends

Never find yourself, never find Never find yourself, never find Never find yourself, never find Never find yourself, never find Looking, where you find yourself looking, looking That's not who you are, you’re the one You’re the one who left and never came back, they’re the ones that have to deal with that You’re the one who left and never came back, they're the ones that have to deal with that Never find yourself, ‘cus that's not who you are Never find yourself, ‘cus that's not who you are Never find yourself, ‘cus that's not who you are Never find yourself, ‘cus that's not who you are Never find yourself, never find Never find yourself, never find Never find yourself, never find Never find yourself, never find

In The Dark 04:19
Do you want in on the inside? Ain't it kind of cold out there? Lay it all bare so we can see Don’t be surprised we don’t believe In the dark, in the dark In the dark, in the dark Do you want out of the nightmare? Never meant to live alone Have an idea put it on repeat But don’t be surprised we don't believe In the dark, in the dark In the dark, in the dark

A tide it turns, it doesn't ask A sun it burns, but it won't last On your terms On your terms You didn't have to stay, at times I didn’t want you too You never went away, you decided you, you would see it through On your terms On your terms How you’ve chosen now to feel, by persistent and imagined deals Another layer now revealed, always in your own time, and forever On your terms On your terms
5.
We all want to be there Firing on all cylinders Putting on smiles while you call Then you turn away and it falls Now we’ll never know, now we’ll never know Now we’ll never know, now we’ll never know Heaven helps so help yourself another serving of living hell A social contract not countersigned Out of sight and out of mind So now we’ll never know, now we’ll never know So now we’ll never know, now we’ll never know The curtain falls the people leave On the issue they all agree Something must and will be done Just as soon as it's their problem So now we’ll never know, now we’ll never know So now we’ll never know, now we’ll never know

Always Here 04:15
Lyrics; Carve my name, use the chalk, burn your herbs, say the words Make your mind, erase mine, take your will, make your kill With your spite forever more entomb me dear In the earth, without fear I'm always here The lie were both engaged in, when the truth became too painful, we all knew it was ending, but I was not ready then The lid was lifted sharply, and I could hear you laughing as the light came rushing in, and the sun began to … shine on me So carve my name and use the chalk, burn your herbs and say the words Make your mind, erase mine, take your will and make your kill With your spite, forever more, entomb me dear here in the earth, without fear, so free and clear I volunteer I'm always here

Arcadia 05:00
Gotta get myself to Arcadia I like the message but not the saviour Save all your suspicions and your hate, oh for the things that say they cannot break Do what you can for my body Burned with others in the quarry There is no hand upon the wheel, no However hard you may kneel Oh I’m Oh I’m Oh I’m, coming home I’m not the one who is empty Deep in the barrel with the gentry Carve away the dead wood by yourself, oh and hope you’ll wake up someone else Levitate your feet up off the ground but the crowds not making any sound They’ve seen it all and now they want more you’ll not keep the wolf from the door Oh I’m Oh I’m Oh I’m, coming home I can taste the poison in our nature I can see you've read the morning paper Nothing wrong with revelling in sin, no But I can feel the walls caving in, so Gotta get myself to Arcadia I like the message but not the saviour Save all your suspicions and your hate, oh for the things that say they cannot break Oh I’m Oh I’m Oh I’m Coming home

There's an unrecognisable man sitting in your living room in your favourite chair You don’t remember letting him in, or his name and yet he's there He's telling you what’s happening, you don’t like it You don't like what you hear but you’re paralysed, with fear You don't like what you hear but you’re paralysed, with fear With fear You are saying that you have nothing to hide, but he stares into your eyes and you start to realise It’s not about you or your life, or your failures or your pride he's not here to make things right, he's the wind and has the night and he's the knife Thrown in the air, without care for where it lands, there is no plan There's no design, just endless time and blood that starts to flow like wine Flow like wine (Repeated)

Wretched 04:53
There's a man in the street with his hand in the air There's a man in the street with his hand in the air He wants to know, what you’ve done There's a child in the aisle with their head in their hands There's a child in the aisle with their head in their hands They want to know, what you’ve done The wretched of the earth, have come to take their turn The ignored and overlooked, think it's time you learned How to burn away How to burn away
10.
Oh lucky friend of mine, to have found you when Oh lucky friend of mine, to have found you then Let us lighten your load, take your care away, you won't need your shoes anymore (Lucky friend of mine, lucky friend of mine, lucky friend of mine, lucky friend of mine) Oh unhappy friend of mine, you don't have to break Oh unhappy friend of mine, there are others you can bend Let us make you cold, and better never end, you won't need your loved ones anymore There's nothing that matters (matters anymore) Take of your home soil (matters anymore) Fill a cask of dirt (matters anymore) Shut out all the light Oh lucky friend of mine, Oh lucky friend of mine
11.
I know you're only here to hurt me I know you're only here to cut There is a weight of water on me I’m drowning in a sea of blood My God, my God, I saw you killing my God I love your ancient face (in the stone) Deep scars that time has now embraced (Deeply worn) In flesh they find themselves encased (Trapped in place) We free them from the cage My God, my God, I saw you killing my God (Kill my God, kill my God)
12.
Cortisone burn (repeated) Where is thin on your skin, where can we see through? Where is thin on your skin, where can we see through? Burns leave their mark Noted side effect Show me where It's better Show me where It's worse Theres a mark (repeated) Cortisone burn (repeated)

My face goes hard, and there's a rushing in my ears Theres spiders in my shoulders and my neck, my body clenched in fear I know I've got it wrong, and I cannot change it now, and given the chance to do it all over all over again, well I'd probably do the same I’m sorry that I cannot change for you, I’m sorry that I cannot change for you In the hours past from the initial blast, I’m sitting in my hole Playing the conversation in my head again, seeing all my words you stole I know I've got it wrong, but I think no more than you, and given the chance we’ll do it over and over again, 'cos that just what we do I’m sorry that I cannot change for you, I’m sorry that I cannot change for you

In the night wine-dark, near quiet Here arrive in their cars, numbers and lights Reid asks, Reid tells, Reid asks, Reid tells At least you had a good time, at least they had a laugh now cooperating, hoping it won’t be your last Giving up on a fight, cos’ your so tired Hoping that you’ve heard wrong, numbers and lights, Reid asks, Reid tells, Reid asks, Reid tells Did you even have a good time, are you sure that was a laugh Now cooperating, hoping it won't be your last Hoping it won't be your last Hoping it won't be your last Hoping it won't be your last

What's Due 03:40
Out of your mind, out of your mind, Everyone can see, you're running out of time Too hard to find, too hard to find, A million years wouldn't help you from the bind Not yet defined, not yet defined, You don't even know what's coming from behind Running wild, running wild, You're confused, confounded and beguiled They're in your doorway, in your room, They're at your bedside, they want what's Due What's Due What's Due
