I've seen everything that you've been thinking / all those secrets you've been keeping / all those ways you're cutting into me / and I've walked those bridges that you have been burning / all those corners you've been turning / and I cannot take another step / I've seen your fires in the night / and I've seen the flames grow with your spite / all my life I've thought that innocence was earned / all you taught me is that innocence is burned / for a sudden moment panic steals your thoughts / then you'll know how precious innocence is lost / it's burned to the ground, to the ground / you said innocence was always given / a gift to all the lonely children / but that will not answer why you are / you're burning everything that we've been building / all those hearts we've been filling / they are ashes on the ground / i've seen...

We Fall
04:09
|
|||
|
closer and closer
you're breathing down my neck
you're pulling me under
into your mess
i don't want this
i don't need this
i'm so sorry
we're in this together
we're in 'til the end
i want you
i need you
i want you
i need you
we fall
we fall so hard
and we fall so fast
this will not last
we fall
we fall so far
and we fall so fast
and we've always known
this will not last
this will not last
faster and faster
we're running out of time
we've gone way too far
and we've crossed every line
i'm so very sorry
i'm so sorry
but nothing's forever
this all must end
i want you...

Keepsake (47 Whispers)
04:33
|
|||
|
for the sound of silence grows
evermore
forty-seven whispers echo
in the dark
we've fallen
again
we've fallen
pretend
when you finally see the light
in her eyes
and she turns away and steps into
the night
we've fallen
again
we've fallen
pretend
shut them up shut them up
silence, silence
shout it out, shout it out loud
you're my keepsake
you're mine to take
best plan to stay
until the day
we find our way
when at last, our love betrays
and fades away
and you hear the whispers echo
in the dark
we've fallen
again
we've fallen
pretend
shut them up, shut them up
silence, silence
shout it out, shout it out loud...

Promises (Unresolved)
04:17
|
|||
|
We are living (if this is living), so far from, from grace
and we left you in the hands of no one
abandoned without a trace
but no promises were made
in the dust we all just fade away
it's here you will stay
no debts were left unpaid
'cause no promises were made
forever forsaken, starvation and disease, the end
after all, have you forgotten, my friend
our promise never spoken, only broken in the end?
but no promises were made...

Somewhere Else
05:07
|
|||
|
somewhere i will find
that place you never knew
someday i will find
you there
some days you are
a trifle and a scar
some days you are
my savior in the dark
you're all that i want
you are perfect for me to a fault
you are everything
to me now
to me now
for how long?
some days you have been
the knife against my skin
some days you have been
a way to let me in
someday you will go
that place i can't follow
some day you will go
and heaven only knows
you're all that i want...

For One Moment
03:54
|
|||
|
you see yourself slipping away
through the cracks in the hole in your head
let silence seize the day
take the time to let our love
stand in your way
put away all thoughts of us
if i never saw her face
we'd still be holding onto grace
if i never knew her name
we'd still be standing in the rain
we'll take the time we gave
to put away and keep it safe
and the promises we made
were lost behind your swollen face
just for one moment, stay
just for one moment, pretend this still matters
when you see me slipping away
just for one moment, stay
if i never took the time
to take a life and make her mine
if i never told the lie
we'd still be falling into fine
and standing in the rain
and opening a single vein
the moment that you came
believed in me believed in change
just for one moment, stay...

Warning
06:01
|
|||
|
the howling cold inside of me, the roaring silence beside me, caving in, all alone, everywhere, holding tight, to this void, cannot take a breath without you, losing all the strength around you, she says to me, "please believe, these circumstances lead to mourning, consider this a final warning. don't believe everything feel, feel" / feel me, free me; i know you, i own you, don't you know me? i'm nothing, nothing, our lovely house, is burning down, before our eyes, before we cry / please allow a final vow, a passage from now, the faith you've made, the blame too late, laid down, screaming out, the moments pass and slip away, now i'm all alone with these thoughts, make believe there's no one else caught, in your hands, another chance, i'd kiss the solace off your face and twist the terror into grace, show me now, teach me how to love you in your own world / feel me, free me; i know you, i own you, don't you know me? i'm nothing, nothing, our lovely house, is burning down, before our eyes, before we try, feel me, free me; i know you, i own you, don't you know me? i'm nothing, nothing, our lovely house, is burning down, before our eyes, immersed in lies / if i could turn back time, i'd never...

Wants and Needs
05:20
|
|||
|
don't you feel the pull
pulling all around
take away your voice
to be heard
when we find a spot
a single spot of warmth
why is there a fight
to be heard?
and you push so hard
when you push away
every chance you take
to be failing
and you hold your head
deep inside your heart
deep inside your chance
for the taking
all she needed was someone to believe in
all he wanted was someone to retreat in
for the longest time
we thought we couldn't fight
the discovery made
with a smile
where our story ends
and the end begins
leads us to the time
we awaken
she is tearing up
and she's torn apart
but she still believes
in his face
and we'll take the chance
and leave it all to fate
and leave our lives outside
for the taking
all she needed was someone to believe in...

The Dying Season
05:46
|
|||
|
the gift that she gave us was hope
the hope was a curse
to believe in anything
and trust 'til the end
we're losing time
it's a losing fight
it cannot be stopped, no
time will heal
time will make rust
time will turn our dreams into dust
the dying season has begun
the fighting's over but nothing is won
nothing
we've known all along this was to be
a disintegration
another time
a chance at life
to hold fast and stay strong
we'll move apart
like scattered stars
to populate the heavens
time will heal...

Vivisect
05:25
|
|||
|
such a sweet man
such a cruel hand
he sings his silly songs
he tells you come along
every moment houses tears
every blessing spoils fear
he loves to give himself away
he plays his tricks and tricks to play
he whispers on the water
he whistles while he's waiting
you know just how he feels about you
you know just how he feels
he whispers on the water
he whistles while he's waiting
he makes you know you should feel cold
he makes you know you should
such a sweet man
such a sticky hand
giving out his candy
such a giving man
every smile that makes you fear
brings him closer, brings him here
he loves to give himself away
he plays his tricks and tricks to play
he whispers on the water...
she doesn't believe in ghosts
she doesn't believe in me
weighing every memory
blind eye that tries to see
letting go of her beliefs
she doesn't believe in ghosts...

Poison
06:41
|
|||
|
i saw myself take part
in the breaking of their hearts
i saw myself lose heart
and fall apart
and you, your tears are in your ears
get out of bed
and you, you're drowning in your fears
you stay in bed
i have been poisoned by your point of view
untold, undying, and untrue
i have been poisoned by your point of view
i give this poison back to you
i've heard all your lies
i don't know where to start
i write them all down
and i tear them apart
i've seen all your lives
and they weigh down my heart
i sing them out loud
and i rip them apart
no, no, i will not let this go
no, no, i will not let you know
no, no, i will not let this go
no, no, i will not let you know
no, no i will not let this go...
i saw myself take part
in the breaking of their hearts
i saw myself lose heart
and fall apart
and you, your tears are in your ears
get out of bed
and you, it's been so many years
you stayed in bed
i have been poisoned by your point of view

Make Up
07:20
|
|||
|
your makeup makes you; it makes me want you, so tear it all away
tear it all away and say there's no escape; there's no escape
he's feeling a little bit better now, now that she is gone
he's feeling a little bit; he didn't forget, he didn't forget at all
there's no escape, no escape from this little girl, this little problem
no way out, no way out, this love is tainted, lover is tainted
your makeup makes you...
your temper tampers with our lives; you only know regret
you only know regret and yet, your ways are set; your ways are set
you always wear your silly mask, you always turn your back
you always turn your back and tell us you can't turn back; you can't turn back
there's no escape, no escape from this bitter girl, this little problem
no way out, no way out, this love is tainted, lover is tainted
her eyes, her eyes were so alive; they're so alive and
her touch is all made up, her love is only a lie away
her eyes, dead eyes, that were so alive; they were so alive and
her love is all made up; her trust is only a lie away
the walls, they never caved in on you
the telephone still rang
we held our hands to you and yet
it's all in vain; oh, what a shame
your love, it comes from deep within
your hate, it knows no name
your pretty face, it causes pain
well, who's to blame? who's to blame?
there's no escape,
no escape from this little girl
this bitter problem
no way out, no way out
my love is tainted, lover is tainted
her eyes...

Architects of Love
05:09
|
|||
|
this mind is dreaming, this body is alone
this bullet's screaming for your blood
i'll pass no judgement, your stones are your own
this moment's frozen, you're crippled on your throne
the architects of love and shadows lie, they lie, beneath wet sheets
they falter when they see your face, and bleed to wash your dirty feet
the architects of love and shadows felt so deep inside of you
they won't come back to feel remorse and tear down tired and trembling youth
this body's broken, this spirit is for sale
this mouth is singing for your blood
i'll pass no judgement, your stones come like hail
limbs and teeth are weak, the heart is not so frail
the architects of love and shadows lie...

Wishing Well
04:47
|
|||
|
the wishing well, i'll never tell
how you fell behind the wishing well
lie to me, lie to me
lie to me, lie to me
i wish you never met me before
i wish you never felt me before
i wish you never felt me before
before you lost your feelings
i wish you never met me before
it is time, draw the line
don't be blind, you know it's time
so come to me, come to me
come to me, come to me
i wish you never met me before...

Victims
04:07
|
|||
|
we are still standing in this line / why can't we learn to share and share alike?
don't bail out on us now / we're the victims of your circumstances
don't you rob us blind, blind
don't leave us out in the cold / we're the victims of your circumstances
what gives you that right, right?
strolling through the lion's den / waiting, forever seems such a long time
kicking and screaming for what?
why can't they see something's wrong?
they don't care about us at all / they watch us, as we watch them watch us fall
don't bail out on us now...
