it is to see a traitor go free it is to feel a filter in me it is to leave the lights that I saw it is to ask: is it easy to go
in this dead hour here with you seconds are worthless in this dead hour when all is blank minutes are worthless
how long will it take until there will be room again for hope it is so sad to see dispossession it has become my obsession
it is to have a knife in my back it is to say my soul got a crack
2. Chrome
the walls are painted different every second my eyes are of chrome it is television
can't let go of my leg it's itching and bleeding layer by layer I'm peeling away
burn down my house and make something happen stab me in the heart
and make something stop 'cause I am so distracted I am slightly shocked by how things can keep going like a dead man's clock
a mirror is hanging kinda loose on my wall I'm passing it sideways I'm saying hello
my brother is halfways through a book I've left him called me today to see what I'd say
3. We Must Bury You
we had you down on your knees we were kicking you in the head we tried to hang you from the trees we didn't stop until you were dead
we must bury you we must bury you we must bury you so deep that noone should find you
forgive me for covering my eyes forgive me for not saving you forgive me for being so unwise forgive me for letting this be true
4. Teargas
why have you put so many things into my eyes that I can't see clear who's paid you for telling me what I'm worth and run in fear it has been for me a strain to see already what have you done the rising noise the sharpened smells the deadened sight
what is it in my eyes a piece of broken glass is this the time I should be on my knees for you is this your way of telling another has been found now I know, it's teargas in my eyes
5. I transpire
I can't say that I am free as long as they return if I had a way out of here would I then return? they seldom will speak, no they only breathe, slow
do they know that I'm afraid, so afraid they depend on my worries, so I know and I'm awake, I'm right in the circle now I am with them
there is no way I am going to be free because their hearts, they are similar to mine there is no way they are going to release me from this chain of rows unto our own hearts
I can't say that I resist my promises I can't say that I regret, behaving like my enemies I seldom will speak, no I only breathe, ghost
6. Tonight's Music
who could call my name without regretting who could see beyond this my darkness and for once save their own prayers who could mirror down just a little of their sun
how could this go so very wrong that I must depend on darkness would anyone follow me further down how could this go so very far that I need someone to say what is wrong not with the world but me
who could call my name without regretting who could promise to never destroy me tonight my head is full of wishes and everything I drink is full of her
7. Clean Today
all the white lights falling
the blue lights are falling night is warm came down with a promise I have my best shirt on I lower myself now it is a way to forget of last year's failure
WILL THE STREETLIGHTS REFLECT ME WELL ENOUGH AM I TRANSPARENT WHEN I AM CLEAN WILL THE DARKNESS AROUND ME BE SO STRONG THAT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BE SEEN
boys will we become heroes of this night or am I just happy whenever not sober I cleaned myself well clean today
and when I pause for a breath I see millions like me
8. The Future Of Speech
my prospects have become less promising i find it hard to believe in anything seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith and I can't go back to where I've been
a brand new day it can't get worse hear myself say it can't get worse
I have no lies or truth in what I say there is no meaning the words are numb and I am so afraid there is no meaning
this is another chance or so I'm told by these who can push themselves at any cost they bless me with their fingers crossed my youth is stolen, transformed and sold
9. Passing Bird
she's got black hair and she has got a black dress she's pretending that her life is a mess but I cannot rest with so many worries I can't lie down and say I am done
I live 'cause I need more light I hope I can change today she would never think of changing too much fucking emo, it's false (I know)
she stops me in the street and asks me to follow
I would if I could if I wouldn't mind breaking her.
10. Sweet Nurse
o my sweet nurse pull the curtain aside for a while so that I can for once have the sun in my eye you smile and say it's a fine day
o my sweet nurse pull the curtain aside for a while
then like a ghost at night you come around all dressed in white talking to me and so I have to drink the water with your poison spilled for no more will
o my sweet nurse seems you have so little time that you rather put me to sleep than sit by my side
11. Don't Tell A Soul
I have been destroyed by the perfection that is life see I'm moving soon see my feet are already on the road
and if you know where I'm going don't tell a soul
I live all for this thing that I heard someone sing when you have noone
noone can hurt you
IT WAS SO EASY TO SEE HOW FUCKING GOOD IT ALL COULD BE
