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
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
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...
2. Right Into The Bliss
By a black road Giving a brief smile Something's on the way Forgotten for a while And you try to speak this Without a voice down by a black road We try to forget and try to make it through
Someday we'll go Further from this right into the bliss Some night we'll try To leave this place for another
They keep pushing me So far from every chance Makes it so much harder For me to carry on So I try to speak this Without a thought down by a black road We try to forget and try to make it through
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. Help Me Disappear
To completely dissolve, What method is used I cannot sleep, My hands are bruised There's a hole in the wall, Torn up anew One dead eye, The colour of you
To vanish for life And promise to stay Away from the knowing, Bird in a cage I'd give so much For the courage to go If I ask for your help, Then you will know
So help me disappear Or to believe in a change No way out of here That I can see Or the nightmares that burn Into my head at night Make them disappear So I can breathe
Looked out the window twice, Just to be sure That noone was standing Outside the door But it's just as calm As it was before They're all gone now, Not there anymore
Isolated myself For the sake of freedom I clenched my fist For the sake of kindness I read a book full of strange words Loneliness is a disease
5. Nerve
High white ways Shattered by rain Pale dead walls Nerves pushed in pain Red light faced Mirrors of the dead People in the archways Eyes full of lead
Always closing down myself Lower sights and never see Worlds of noise and worlds of light Expecting not to be Not close enough for you To hear a breath or steal a sigh But just close enough for me To take a step and pass you by
6. 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
7. Ghost Of The Sun
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
8. I Am Nothing
Tonight I'm nothing It doesn't matter where I've been Delay of reaction is The unseen movie of this life
I remember one of my friends Telling me to go ahead
Water on every side There's a dead spot in my eye If I listen close at night There's something coming my way
Like someone called my name But I didn't care to look that way I just fixed my eyes into the crowd It would have been strange to turn around
If you would tell me that I was someone Then for a second I would think Just like I would try to consider How it would feel to know
I have to get on with this It's a decision for tonight Out to look for chances It is murder of my mind
Once I was someone new I was chosen for a while Then with time I am changing At least that is what they say
What is worth with being here I pray so often for a change
9. Deadhouse
Somehow better without this Headlights fuck the city Somewhere I'm broken No sensations nevermore
What do you say when you speak I sense no time Discouraged television sleep Not awake until it's dark
Somehow I never leave This deadhouse Somehow I don't mind being gone And if you think you've seen me I have to prove you That you're wrong
10. 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.
11. 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 breath 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 Paren't 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
12. Sulfur
I'm drawing back time To feel things once again As when I had found them
I saw you grow older Saw myself grow older too But not as much as you If I only knew
I had sulfur in my heart But not enough strenght to give it a spark I didn't know when to start When we were bright or when we were dark I had a wind in my chest Blew as hard as it ever could I could have written books for you If I only knew
I held my head down I know And you walked around in circles I'm sure you already knew If I only knew it too
So much I want to ask you You have no time to let me do so There is no light in my pathway You must tell me where to go
13. No Devotion
I've turned down all devotion I'm so far from being here Can't bring forth more power Than I have already done
Tonight I'm trying And I see all dread in me
But then I lose again All hope of being someone This lack of devotion Will put me to an end
So if you want to save me And stop me when I run Just tell me that I'll have now A day less to live when I'm done
14. 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
15. 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
16. Dispossession
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 enough 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
17. Cold Ways
I can't do what you do I'm just able to tear it down yeah Stay in a cold minute of sleep See the world Right through the ether
Twisting names inside of me Electric atmosphere to be Must carry on one last time Cannot end what has begun
In your eyes You're alive But in my eyes You're a lie
You can't do what I do I'm just able to ruin you yeah Stay in the cold ways of winter See myself right through the ether
In my eyes You're the lie
18. Nightmares By The Sea
[By Jeff Buckley]
Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons Little girl wants to make her home with him In the middle of the shore she wonders
"Don't know what you asked for" "Don't know what you asked for"
All young lovers know why Nightmares blind their mind's eye Your rube is young and handsome So new to your bedroom floor You know damn well were you'll go
I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all From their coral graves they rise up when darkness falls With their bones they'll scratch the window I hear them call
"Don't know what you asked for" "Don't know what you asked for"
Stay with me under these waves tonight Be free for once in your life tonight
19. Oh How I Enjoy The Light
[Written by Will Oldham]
It's us I liken to a covey A polar bear has breached a pup The palace walls are Strewn with tapestries And the window panes are Splintered and shattered With a crumbled dog On every landing And every stranger cowers The dress is torn, The tone demanding The canine's latent strength
And would her loins Would yield a yelp A beating purr to steal the Time with Here's where we walk, Hand in hand O how I despise it O how I enjoy the light Of the first morning forever Wisdom, wealth tag On like afterbirth I will love you forever
And if I don't And if I do The difference exists in a Fiction The day has cooled, The time will too And we will call upon the light
20. 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
21. March 4th
Left with spring alone I withdraw from this I lived so differently It wasn't good enough
I was with you alone Winter was gone
Things once blurred are twice sharpened When I think of what I could have Blood has left me even before you Can never return a second time
I lived so differently Did it all for it But everything is now A film on rewind
22. I Break
Sounds of imbalance Sleeps through the never The artificial lightsource Is creeping with flies
And this time I break I will never make Another day Defiant to what's delivered
I will find a way To sever myself Exit all today You can't see this Did you ever say I break sever I will find a way Visit me when I'm there
The weakness of hope Is the strength of decline Remember what's past ways And what I've become The joy of not being Something I need I'm only weather But only to me
23. For My Demons
Well I'm here And summer is gone I hear So pray for me As I now leave your town When did I say this I will never leave I can't recall this Moment in my life
You would never sleep at night If you knew what I've been through And this thought is all I have To trust upon when light is gone
My problem was That you kept me here too long And today is when We'll regret that I came by When did I say this I will never leave I can't recall this Moment in my life
Life is full of darkness And murderers come my way Someday you will join them And I will let you in
24. 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
25. 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
26. Stalemate
What am I supposed to be In my life In your life In our life In this life
In shut the door and close my sight At the end of the day
It's not the way that it used to be There's no way I'll see The beginning of things to come Trapped in the ways of the weak
27. Wait Outside
I burn the bridges behind me Can't tell you the truth so I lie I'm waving at someone behind you I filter my eyes when I look at the sky
Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light Your word means everything I cannot say it right I withdraw Lost my everything My vision is unclear
Wait for me outside Will you hold on Can you hold on
28. Fractured
Knew I would fall if I tried So I held back for a while You pushed me so hard, I had to go I tried to be strong, then I failed
I would like to say this Just in case you didn't know
Well your soul is fractured I know what it's like as well I have sold my soul I traded it for hollow gold
29. 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
30. Black Session
I sense infliction in the air It's only me I'm fucking up old times It's a remembrance
O this Black session in my mind O the black
I was too weak to fight Once more I let go It is a black session An invitation of sorts
I keep on living in this my only wish That life will be good someday I keep on losing my sleep because of this Seems so hard just to stay
So if you come by just this last time I'll be here And I will talk to you like If this had never been
