We are just a moment in time A blink of an eye A dream for the blind Visions from a dying brain I hope you don't understand
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
2. Fragile Dreams
Countless times I trusted you, I let you back in, Knowing... Yearning... you know I should have run... but I stayed
Maybe I always knew My fragile dreams would be broken... for you
Today I introduced myself To my own feelings In silent agony, after all these years They spoke to me... after all these years
Maybe I always knew My fragile dreams would be broken... for you
[Lyrics & Music: D.Cavanagh]
3. Empty
Empty vessel under the sun wipe the dust from my face another morning black Sunday coming down again.. coming down again Empty vessel empty veins empty bottle wish for rain that pain again wash the blood off my face the pulse from my brain And I feel that pain again
I'm looking over my shoulder cause millions will whisper I'm killing myself again Maybe I'm dying faster but nothing ever last I remember a night from my past when I was stabbed in the back and its all coming back And I feel that pain again
I abhor you I condemn you cause this pain will never end you got away without a scratch and now you're walking on a lucky path I have to laugh but you'd better watch your back
there's pathetic opposition they're the cause of my condition I'll be coming back for them I've a solution for this sad situation nothing left but to kill myself again Because I'm so empty
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
4. Lost Control
Life.. has betrayed me once again I accept that some things will never change. I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity.
Yes, I am falling... how much longer 'till I hit the ground? I can't tell you why I'm breaking down. Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone? Have I really lost control?
I'm coming to an end, I've realized what I could have been. I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask, I admit I've lost control Lost control...
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
5. Re-Connect
The fragments of connection died Some things just won't fade with time Hide behind a transparent eye You can't see me but I can you... Betray without a moment's thought Regret nothing but getting caught Your time has come and here I stand Why should I hold out my hand to you...
I could never turn to you Silenced by that look in your eye Feel I'm slipping back again
Black cold night I toss and turn I'm sinking, feel so ...drained Shroud me, blind me, sick, weak, empty, drag me ...into pain I tried so hard, don't drown me, bound to me, self indulgently ...crazed Black as coal, my sunken soul, will it ever be ...saved?
Come on and twist that knife again Well I'd like to see you fucking try Never going back again
An answer won't come from me Confront your own worst enemy What does your mirror see Is it time to face up to me?
[Lyrics & Music: V.Cavanagh]
6. Inner Silence
When the silence beckons And the day draws to a close When the light of your life sighs And love dies in your eyes Only then will I realize What you mean to me.
[Lyrics & Music: D.Cavanagh]
7. Alternative 4
It's killing you, you're killing me I'm clinging on to my sanity All I need is a short term remedy Come and hide me from this terrible reality...
Dreaded memories flood back to me But there's still a willful mind behind these cold psychotic eyes Now I tread this path so differently I've opened my mind and darkened my entire life.
I'll dance with the angels to celebrate the holocaust, And far beyond my far gone pride, Is knowing that we'll soon be gone, Knowing that I'll soon be gone...
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
8. Regret
As I drift away... far away from you, I feel all alone in a crowded room, Thinking to myself "There's no escape from this fear, regret, loneliness..."
Visions of love and hate A collage behind my eyes Remnants of dying laughter Echoes of silent cries
I wish I didn't know now that I never knew then... Flashback Memories punish me again Sometimes I remember all the pain that I have seen Sometimes I wonder what might have been...
Visions of love and hate A collage behind my eyes Remnants of dying laughter Echoes of silent cries
And sometimes I despair At who I've become I have to come to terms With what I've done
The bittersweet taste of fate We can't outrun the past Destined to find an answer A strength I never lost I know there is a way My future is not set For the tide has turned But still I never learned to live without regret.
[Lyrics & Music: D.Cavanagh]
9. Feel
I've feeling, I won't be coming down from this, I was searching through the heavens and somehow I slipped!
I feel, I'm seeing so clear
Trying to forget tomorrow and all that's happened This is not the way, the way I was meant to be
I feel, I'm seeing so clear I thought I was never going to die I feel, I'm seeing so clear We need more time
Slipping away, I think I'm gonna crack Misplaced trust, loyalty stabbed in the gut
I feel, I'm seeing so clear I thought I was never coming back
I've been down for awhile, And now I'm coming back...
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
10. Destiny
I tried to murder the lonely, Contemplate our mortality.
Into infinity, Frozen memory
Wipe the tears from yesterday, A time for change, take the pain away.
Angel, my destiny, Can you feel me?
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
11. Your Possible Pasts
[Digipack Bonus]
[Pink Floyd, from "The Final Cut"]
They flutter behind you your possible pasts some bright-eyed and crazy some frightened and lost a warning to anyone still in command of their possible future to take care in derelict sidings the poppies entwine with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time Do you remember me? how we used to be? do you think we should be closer? She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs for the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs stepping up boldly one put out his hand he said, " I was just a child then now I'm only a man" Do you remember me? how we used to be? do you think we should be closer? By the cold and religious we were taken in hand shown how to feel good and told to feel bad tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay and strung out behind us the banners and flags of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags Do you remember me? how we used to be? do you think we should be closer?
12. One Of The Few
[Digipack Bonus]
[Pink Floyd, from "The Final Cut"]
When you're one of the few to land on your feet what do you do to make ends meet? teach make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die
13. Better Off Dead
[Digipack Bonus]
[Bad Religion]
I'm sorry about the sun How could I know that you would burn? And I'm sorry about the moon How could I know that you'd disapproved? And I'll never make the same mistake So next time I create the universe I'll make sure we communicate at length Oh yeah But until then... better off dead A smile on the lips and a hole in the head Better off dead, it's better than this Take it away cuz there's nothing to miss I'm sorry about the world How could I know you'd take it so bad? And I'll never make the same mistake So if you're looking for a patsy why not try the entire human race Just to play it safe Until then... better off dead A smile on the lips and a hole in the head Better off dead, better than this Take it away cuz there's nothing to miss Better off dead, better off dead Why don't you try pushing daisies instead Better off dead, better off dead A smile on the lips and a hole in the head And I'll never make the same mistake The next time I create the universe I'll make sure you participate Oh yeah And I'll never make the same mistake The next time I create the universe I'll make sure we communicate at length Just in case
14. Goodbye Cruel World
[Pink Floyd from "The Wall"]
Goodbye, cruel world, I'm leaving you today. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Goodbye all you people, There's nothing you can say, To make me change my mind. Goodbye.
