The thin darkness here Not strong enough to make you appear I once changed my style When they said hello I said goodbye I once played a role I was out there marketing my soul
The city of glass that I live in The coldness from my brothers skin
I trusted you you lied It's all I hear a fucking lie I don't give a shit it's over now It's all I know you broke the vow
Truth is I have seen it come Seen the ghost of the sun Can't have it undone In time we all call out for relief See two lovers meet Pass you on the street
2. Sleeper
O my your fever's high I lay my hands upon you O my haven't you heard The truth is untrue
Now I'm breathing I could not breathe until you did I'm one second after you Just a second after you
Someone inside your room Who is it there behind you? What does he want from you?
Sleeper what did you see? I close the window to the street Parents died and left their child Unattented for a while
Sleeper's song will you listen to me sing The bird is here I can see the edge of his wing If you die now how can I then live on Don't give up you must live on
You die now
3. Criminals
The way the light hits the road The way I am unable to protect you O I'm running away I will never forgive myself For running away from you
He came back to your house I didn't take it as a promise Always thought it was a lie He went too far the fucker It's not like I owe him money This is different
So gather your strength and break free Or you will surely die Gather your strength don't follow me 'Cause I will surely die
The way my eyes cannot move The way I hope to be protected And for one moment I thought That I was lost among the lights of houses
My dreams of violence See them coming true
4. A Premonition
Stand aside now no one will survice can't tell you how I know In some time I will change my name and lay low In the light you can see me walk down by the way The one who did this to us well he got away
Keep it quiet here I will not tolerate your noise This is where I listen for the forgiving voice
It haunts my dreams
5. Will I Arrive
Bypassed the day I can hear them coming They walk round my door and speak of their coming My trial awaits got nowhere to run My only words how soon you have come
And I think about what you told me When I was about to join in
Defy only if you have a way to resist the lies Decline only if you have the intention of taking this advice Apply only if you're not afraid to see your spirit die Retreat only if you dare not hear yourself say goodbye
Who brought me here this place is familiar Where houses are black under the sun Strangers pass on streets with strange names All I can think is how soon they have come
Look at me now they have cut my hair It's a long way back They kicked me down and I could not rise I will never arrive
6. Burn The Remembrance
Old light and new colours your picture hangs in the night Is this the right time to set one free and go away In the emptiness behind you I will walk about Surely you'll miss me but long live the doubt
What will replace us What will be our memory of this time Second hand impressions Hand them over so we can let it die
I remember one time when we were abroad I was laughing at a book I had bought But you were standing against the hotel wall Frozen in an unknown thought
7. Wealth
Cool night gave my truth for a lie Will you be here when I try I'm not set cannot do it yet Will you be here when I try Our wealth breeds emptiness Another day to compress
My lips are dry you gave me drugs to try Hold me when I die The sky has frozen to a wall We die we all
8. One Year From Now
One year from now will I be strong Will I stand up for what I've become
Everything I have I will give you And everything I own I owe you
One yearr from now dare I call you mine A year ahead from now it's a different time
9. Walking By A Wire
I could not breath against the wall The clash of light against the floor They held me up against the wall Too young to be ignored
Standing by a building Leaks out information Passive death of freedom gets me Where's my security Behind my back it goes Early morning's coming The risk that I am taking Recall a song that I heard as a child No more false immunity Inside the blistering cold
My youth unknown to me I'm walking by a wire What's left from me to breathe Cold smell of fire One day I will be free I was born to be no one My youth unknown to me I walked behind the sun
Emptiness within me Exit signs within me The one you're looking for is not here Had no security He will not come back
10. Complicity
I have no name my face a blur I speak only to answer them White noise becomes a voice I hear it constantly
I dare not break the circuit I rest only for a short time This time I promise I won't give up
I have no right to let it go I have no right to do so
My vision now is incomplete I am affected by the warmth A change of tone unusual sound Is this the time to decline
They control the circuit The embodiment of what I've done If I waver from this circle A second pass and then I'm found But he who walks behind me He once saw the morning sun
11. Evidence
I hold my breath and check the time One minute no collapse If you only knew what I would do for you One thirty breathing lapse We're going in my voice is thin When I tell you to remember That no one will find you My promise from the heart If we part my pulse will guide you through
Be still for a moment Everything depends upon you If you die I will die too Once we were heroes But everything has changed since then Now they recognize you too
I stay too long something's wrong You walk out of the picture I hold my breath and check the time One thirty I collapse We went in my voice was thin When I told you to remember
I'm the evidence You passed the test and that's so good for you O love will you read the letters I will send to you Will I come along Will they let me out to take the test O love is the score enough for me to pass the test
12. Omerta
Come by you have come far All I had I lost in the flood Come sit with me at the bar Tell me of progress strengthen my blood No one here knows my name I have traded my memories for things But I remember you clearly Do you remember that I used to sing
Why have you waited so long
Come by you have come far Long since I saw you so how have you been Come sit with me at the bar How long since they told you that they had found him No one here knows my name I gave up my worries for one good thing But I remember you clearly Do you remember that I used to sing
Was it because I never told you I was going away That you waited so long Was it because your fucking dreams Meant nothing to me That you waited so long
It runs from the top of my fingers Into my hands What is it I have been drinking I do not understand I thought I'd lost you my brother I'm so glad you came My regards to the ones that I love I miss them Tell them I love them I miss them
