Come in, close the door
I'm waiting for my chance at open windows
Lay it down, just let go
I'm excited for the fall
And now we're waiting for the mess we've painted to dry
Can't cover up what we've composed here, behind closed eyes
And I'll fade to the bottom of the lake
I feel your pull, I fear your wake
You'll sink us all
I just wanted you to know
She's running with a stolen heart
You've seen it with your sniper's eye
You've fought it with your soldier's soul
You're smiling with a vagrant smile
I hear freedom call you on your shame
I hear freedom call you by your name
My only regret is my best kept secret's a lie
Can't cover up anything behind fake smiles
And I just needed you to know
And I'll fade to the bottom of the lake
I feel your pull, I fear your wake
You'll sink us all
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
I feel the shock, I feel the fall
And I'll fade to the bottom of the lake
I feel your pull, I fear your wake
You'll sink us all
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know

Green of the Flame

You've been dwelling down those basements, guess that's the way it's going down
Spending hours in these clock shops trying to buy a little time
I've been shaking in my bedroom since 1999
Call them demons, what have you, modern day poltergeist
Your best dress is worse for wear, and I'm too tired to fight
Quit wearing me out
If you wanna scream and fight, I'll be inclined to waste your time
Call when you're not angry anymore
20 miles and 13 stairs, in the corner of the room, you find me there
In the green of the flame, burnout embering away
To the sound of the howls of the old machines, I'll calculate a list and contemplate
Every little wrong being done upon a sweet mother's face
We won't take this anymore
We won't take this anymore
We won't take this anymore
We won't take this anymore
We won't take this anymore
Your best dress is worse for wear, and I'm too tired to fight
Quit wearing me out
If you wanna scream and fight, I'll be inclined to waste your time
Call when you're not angry anymore
Call when you're not angry anymore
Open the windows wide
And scream at the night time sky and wait for a reply
Nothing out there but darkness
Nobody hears you scream your madness
You're dressed to kill, I'm wearing thin
I'm too tired to fight
Quit wearing me out
If you wanna scream and fight, I'll be inclined to waste your time
Call when you're not angry anymore
We're not gonna take this anymore

Wreckhead

Yesterday is gone, I put a brave face on
Blindfolded into the future we go
I don’t see what all the fuss is about
It’s with love, not rage, that I foam at the mouth, tell me how
You treat your body like a train wreck
Are you coming off the rails?
Why not show yourself some respect?
I can think of plenty better ways to fail
Keep on smiling, keep it simple
Supermarkets give me shivers
Fingers cracked and coarse from the cold
Keep on smiling like it matters
Your self respect is bought, not sold
Keep on smiling, like a fool
You treat your head like a shipwreck
Out at sea, and going down in flames
There’s no ground on which to give you any respect
I can think of plenty drowning souls to save
You treat your body like a train wreck
Are you coming off the rails?
Nobody told you it’s not perfect
Worked that one out for myself
You treat your body like a train wreck
Are you coming off the rails?
I had it built into my framework
It’s with love, not rage, that I fail

You make a feast of a middle son
He takes the blame but won’t know what he’s done
If you didn’t note it, if you didn’t notice anything
You make a fool out of passing tongues
You say the words I didn’t think you would
If you didn’t note it, if you didn’t notice anything
Now all alone
How cold, how cold
You stole my soul out
Without a whisper or a sound
Without a whisper or a sound
You wanted to walk, well walk
I’m not gonna tie you down
Have you seen the world out there?
It’s the darkest it’s been in years
You wanted to talk, well talk
I’m not gonna hold your tongue
It’s an ugly silence
That your beauty’s graced me with, my dear
Now all alone
How cold, how cold
You stole my soul out
Without a whisper or a sound
Without a whisper or a sound
You’d rather be alone, my dear
You’d rather be dear than alone
You’d rather be alone, my dear
You’d rather be dear than alone
Now all alone
How cold, how cold
You stole my soul out
Without a whisper or a sound
Without a whisper or a sound

Living the Dream
04:43

Hey friend, could you move over please?
I just need to find a place to breathe
I don’t wanna sleep next to a stranger
I just need to be somewhere
If you don’t know a place that feels like home
Well maybe you know how I feel
If you got no place to go
Maybe you know how I feel
I need it for love
At the end of the golden road
Turns out I didn’t have my heart all along
You reached inside my bones
Told me I wouldn’t need it where I’m going
But I need it for love
I need it for love
(Hey friend, could you move over please?)
I need it for love
(I’m tired and I need a place to sleep)
I need it for love
(Hey friend, could you move over please?)
I need it, I need it
(I’m tired and I need a place to sleep)
Hey friend, could you move over please?
I just need to find a place to breathe
It’s a line from a book I stole
It’s your voice that I hear in my dreams, I can’t wake up
But I need it for love
(Hey friend, could you move over please?)
I need it for love
(I’m tired and I need a place to sleep)
I need it
I need it for love
(Hey friend, could you move over please?)
I need it, I need it
(I’m tired and I need a place to sleep)
You can’t rely on lucky stars
They always burn out much quicker than you thought
And what have all your friends grown up to be?
Are they juvenile and angry, are they living the dream?
Or are they just living in one?
Beer and cigarettes and nightclubs
Are you living the dream or just living in one?
Peace and love and understanding

Steal All the Chemicals
02:42
|

Dark and dim, disgusting, disapproving, deluded, derelict
This head’s a wreck, I hope you know
The way it's left, you're right, I’ll be just fucking fine
Thought you'd see through the biggest lie I ever told
Peel at the walls, I'll better occupy my time
I’ve got a full time commitment to losing my mind
I’ll be just fine, I’ll be just fine, I’ll be just fine, I’ll be just fine
The truth will tell in time
Conceited, confused, seldom complimented
Compass points south deemed chronic by these assessments of
The soul, your one and all, infinitesimal
Everything and nothing, a perfect contradiction, I’m unwell
And you know better than to tell me that I’m free
Steal all the chemicals and poison our hearts with false belief
There’s nothing left, this head’s neglected
It’s as empty as that hole inside your chest
Peel at the walls, I'll better occupy my time
I’ve got a full time commitment to losing my mind
You’re right, you’re right, I’ll be just fine in time, my mind will be confined
You know you’re right, you know you’re right
Steal all the chemicals and poison everything
There’s nothing left, this head’s a mess, a twisted shipwreck in the bay
Oh the tea, oh my ambition, sighs for sighs, asphyxiated
On your last breath, on your last breath

Chinatown

You let your skeletons keep your secrets
Tucked away so safe beneath your skin, I’m scared to ask
Is it really so sad?
Let the devil take these lines
‘Cause the dirt beneath your nails
Will reveal all your lies in time and I
Will keep it secret, keep it safe
Entombed in these walls already, and taken to my grave
These lips you kissed are sealed
Chapped and sutured closed
Watched you undress and let you take it all
And I’m not sure how I’m gonna take it now
You worked it out, you didn’t take it lying down
I’ll be your private eye if you tell me lies, don’t tell me lies
Lose your head just a little bit in the end
Do your partner a big favour, get him the hell out of here
We’re exposed as monsters once again
That sad fate, that’s the end of it
I’m giving up on this accident
It happened on that night that I happened to hate my life
Just enough, just a little bit
If these four walls fall, we’ll be trapped within
In need of more stale oxygen to revive us
And I’m not sure how I’m gonna take it now
You worked it out, you didn’t take it lying down
She sings louder now, ’til it’s just cries and shouts
Woke me from my sleep, sleeping sound in a pool face down
You’ve been keeping yourself in the dark
You don’t know what’s good for you, ‘cause if you did you’d run
Keeping yourself in the dark
You don’t know what’s good for you, ‘cause if you did you’d run
I’m not sure how I’m gonna take it now
You worked it out, you didn’t take it lying down
She sings louder now, ’til it’s just cries and shouts
Woke me from my sleep, making love in a different town
Yeah, I’m not sure how I’m gonna take it now
You worked it out, you didn’t take it lying down
She sings louder now, ’til it’s just cries and shouts
Forget about it boy

Bloody Mary

If it stings just a little bit
If it starts to bleed, put some pressure on it
I got some tissues in my back pocket
What are you watching?
There’s nothing for you to see
On this television screen
It’s past your bedtime, don’t be scared
I can see you watching from the stairs
Yeah, you bleed out slowly
Don’t let your weakness show
You gotta let nobody know
Never let ‘em see you bleed
These vampires are thirsty
Yeah, you’re easy prey while you sleep
Save me the indecency
Constant excuses trying to save your dignity
You’re not saving no one
No, you’re nobody’s hero lately
You died a martyr in your own head, maybe
Maybe, maybe, it’s a little bit telling
The price is right but I’m not buying what you’re selling
If you can slip one sleeve all the way inside the other and pretend like a straitjacket keeps you warm in winter
Let’s hope this winter is it, it’s a cold, cold world, never let ‘em see you shivering
And I felt the ground shake while pissing on your grave
Your bed’s been made, tucked away, baby, pushing up blades, ’til you call out, I come back to pay
You bleed out slowly
Don’t let your weakness show
You gotta let nobody know
If it starts to turn I suggest you leave on your own
You whisper closely
I’m drowning, never let me go
The words rattle in your throat
Never let ‘em see you bleed
These vampires are thirsty
Yeah, you’re easy prey while you sleep

The world’s tilted and I’m just waiting
For someone to come home or anything, or the world to explode
I could use a kick right now, you see, I’m feeling pretty low
I wanna snap all of these strings, I’ve got sick of all these chords
If only you could see me now, I’m in the prime of my life
Hairy and wasted almost every night
You know it’s not the way of life to which I originally subscribed
It just kinda fucking happened when I want along for the ride, yeah
Life’s a rollercoaster, you’re just waiting for the drop of some
Stranger’s belt buckle in the dark down by the docks
Or in secret somewhere, just slipped under your tongue
I can feel it in your bones and all these wraps have come undone
It’s gotten pretty hairy by the time the sun goes down
When the lunar eye is open, the inner beast is inside out
And it’s all over now, baby blue
And these lights, I see through
Glazed eyes won’t fade tonight
On the longest crawl back home
And this list is endless
It crippled us as we stumbled out through the door
To crawl back home
Dried and dusted bloody nose
Red and brown encrusted clothes
Corpse-side up on the floor
Dry heaving into a fish bowl, well I’m
Lightly coated in damp ash
Speckled yellow black moustache
Sits above the teeth that gnash
All night long until they crack to
Pink splinters sinking deep in gums
Chewed chalky-white disgusting sponge
Spit poison from this salty tongue
You’ll feel better in the morning
And these lights, I see through
Glazed eyes won’t fade tonight
On the longest crawl back home
Shut up a little bit while I reminisce
Taking drugs up scaffoldings
The best days are always firmly in the past
She’s been drinking tonight (loose lips sink ships)
Sink a nail straight into my eyes
Has the cat got your tongue?
We’re just having fun
My boy, I’m losing control
Don’t tell me where to hide these bodies
I won’t tell you where to dig them back up
Ready or not
My boy, I’m losing control
Don’t tell me where to hide these bodies
I won’t tell you where to dig them back up
We’re shit outta luck

Cue the Rain

Cue the rain as your ship’s sailing away
You cry in public, I’ll smile and wave
Cue the dark clouds rolling in
I wish you safe passage with a crooked grin
Cue the storm on the horizon
My dear, you try to steer away
Can’t take control of the reigns with shame
Adrift and trusting no one, are you going down in flames?
It’s not good enough for me, I got these high high hopes
Drown in the dark water, and burn in the flames and smoke
Or don’t, just keep on going
Caught in a rhythm we all know
It’s just a song you sing to carry you back home
And I know, when I get home
It’s not the place I left I hated after all
Not far from home
They say that nothing great’s the same
That nothing’s even great these days
They say that punk don’t play great in the lakes
The rhythm’s in the water, in the mountains, on the wind
And she sings, sometimes I can’t hear what she says
I said it stings sometimes, reminds me, life is grey
And if you run away from home, where will you go?
Who knows? What does it matter to me?
It won’t matter if you stay, and it all stays the same
I think I’ve found what you’re running from
I think I’ve found where I belong
I think I’ve found home
And it’s whole
It’s just a song you sing to carry you back home
And I know, when I get home
It’s not the place I left I hated after all
Not far from home
And I know
It’s just a song you sing to carry you back home
And I know, when I get home
It’s not the place I left I hated after all
Not far from home
Not far from home
[bonus]
Sit and stare at the bottom alone
I’m climbing up to see something beautiful burn
Is this the world we lose? I see it falling apart
Would you miss the sky if it fell down tonight?
