The Black Heart Procession Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.A Cry For Love

Lyricist:Paul Arthur Jenkins, Toby Nathaniel, Joseph Plummer

Love not our love

Love it isn't supposed to be this way
Love is a poison ring
And love has poured you drinks
Now love waits for you to sleep

Don't you lend it to a friend
'Cause you may never see that friend again
But don't you bother with a cover
'Cause love can pick out the fakes

But that's not our love
Not our love, not our love
This crime of love, love

Don't you see this crime of love

Love it isn't supposed to be this way
Love will sting, love will burn
Love will steal all you've learned
Yes, it will but not our love

Sometimes in your back
And sometimes in your arms
You'll never know
It's a double edged sword

Don't you bother with a cover
'Cause in a crowd love can pick out the fakes

But that's not our love
Not our love, not our love
Not our love

Love


2.Gently Off The Edge

Lyricist:R Rowe, S Rowley

There was a murder
And a heart on some other road
It was colored drinks but most of all
This empty seat next to me

And I felt life was getting older
And something had to unfold
And if there's a chance
That I could be with you

As a distant ring
Something in your mind
And you would think of me
When you are away

There was a ring
In a film dated 1863
But dead men can't tell the truth
Of lies is what filled up his days

And we feel life getting older
As something has to unfold
If there's a chance
That I could be with you

As a distant ring
Something in your mind
And you would think of me
When you are away

Listen to my call
Please come home
Come home, come home
'Cause I feel so alone

You listen, you listen
But nobody's there
You wait for a sign
Will they appear?

You know they'll say
That I am the one


3.Heart Like Mine

Lyricist:Black Clint Patrick, Nicholas James Hayden

She stood at the sea in the photograph
I saw the ship approach to take her love away
Oh please, if they should ask you
Tell them you knew a heart like mine
Yes, a heart like mine

She is the one in the photograph
So I cross the sea to find the love I lost
Oh please, if they should ask you
Tell them you knew a heart like mine

And if they should ask me
I'll tell them I knew a heart like yours
And a heart like mine


4.The Waiter #4

Lyricist:Toby Nathanial Christensen, Paul Arthur Jenkins, Joseph
Plummer

This is you and this is me
No one understands
What is this I've become

As memory fades
You left me years ago
Where the sky
And the snow turn red

This is you and this is me
No one understands
This is why I've waited
To retrace a certain voice
Summer's winter's cure

Somewhere through the years
I replaced a certain pain
And summer's winter's cure
Yet I remain


5.Broken World

Lyricist:Toby Nathanial Christensen, Paul Arthur Jenkins, Joseph
Plummer

I know that you, you are through with me
I know that you, you want to get rid of me
I know that you, you have a plan for me
I know that you, you want to torture me

And now we'll never meet again
Not in this broken world
We'll never meet again
Not in this broken world

This time with you felt so smooth
And I guess I, I never really knew
That you, you were through with me
And I guess that you, you were finished with me

Now we'll never meet again
Not in this broken world
Our time is through
In this broken world
We'll never meet again
Our time is through


6.Only One Way

Lyricist:Toby Nathanial Christensen, Paul Arthur Jenkins, Joseph
Plummer

There's only one way
There are lies then there is truth
What hides between we did not know
What we give away we soon forget
There's only one way

Even though we've seen
We trust the ways we bleed
If only to waste
We crush it in our hands
Then move away

I see
What we give away we soon forget
We give up the search
We'd as soon forget
There's only one way
Only one way to your heart shock


7.Fingerprints

They found fingerprints
This is what you stole from your heart and mine
Stood in the way
Stood so long I knew it would be said

It was on that way, you made it all up inside of me
Now for once I see it's never gonna change
Fingerprints, they found fingerprints
They never want to have to change
Stay where you belong
No, no, no

Turn our heads, we turn our heads
Fingerprints, they found my fingerprints
You know your ways will never change
No, no, no

Turn our heads we turn our heads
To avoid the fingerprints
Fingerprints, they found my fingerprints


8.Not Just Words

Days peel off and pass away
Like souvenirs from a distant place
Postcards from your memories

Just like an old love line
Or dividing wall that fell
This'll never be forgotten
These are not just words

Do you remember
The things we said?
Do you remember
The things we said?

The smoke and script changed through the years
The stories blend and lies were fed
I know some things can't be explained

Just like an old scar
Or this thorn in my side
This'll never be forgotten
These are not just words

Do you remember
The things we said?
Do you remember
The things we said?

I'll try to remember
The things we said
I'll try to remember
The things we said

Of all these things we have forgotten
There are no 'just words'


9.Did You Wonder

Bothered and distraught, I slowly wake
I didn't know just how it got to be this way
Did you ever wonder why we bother sometimes?
Did you ever wonder why we bother so?

It's wired in and sewn to our days
I didn't know we had to make it through the maze
At every turn there's a wall
Nothing grows in here

Did you ever wonder why we bother sometimes?
Did you ever wonder why we bother so?
You will see a light on the way
We grow old and gray and move so slow


10.The One Who Has Disappeared

I am the one who has disappeared
And I'll reap my rewards
When you look through me
I know I'm the one who has disappeared

When I write my name, no words appear
And in your heart, I will appear
And when it's my turn, I turn away
I am the one who has disappeared

This one's for forgiveness, so they say
I'm that one, I am the one
Who has no name, I have no name
And I am the one who has disappeared

The way you look through me
I know I'm the one
Who has disappeared


11.Sympathy Crime

This one finds you nowhere
Abandoned, your truth unfolds
You came, you failed
And it means nothing

This one you take with you
This is one I could never forget
You run to that side
And it means nothing

You fade into that life
Where it means nothing
This is what they want you to think
It was torn from you then you fade from them

And you wait, you wait so long
'Till it means nothing
Don't wait, don't wait so long
'Till it means nothing

(The girls sing)
Crime, crime, crime
Ascent and decline
Crime, crime, crime
It's a sympathy crime


12.Tropics Of Love

Ooh, the tropics of love
Ooh, the tropics of love

Oh, comfort, you comfort
You come from far away
Oh listen, don't ever betray
What you feel

Comfort, you comfort
You come from far away
Don't ever trust the things they say

Was it here?
Where we left our hearts?
(Shh)
Was it here?
In the tropics of love?
(Shh)

Remorse, remorse with it every day
'Cause I feel it this way
Don't ever barter with yourself
Comfort is why
We lost our hearts

Was it here?
Where we left our hearts?
In the tropics of love
(Shh)

In the tropics of love
In the tropics of love
In the tropics of love
(Shh)

So remember, remember
Remember, I say
When they've taken this comfort away
I'll be there every day

Remember, remember
Remember, I say
I'll be there every single day


13.A Sign On The Road

Did you not see
Wasn't it clear
Or did you just speed by
Ignoring the signs on the road
The signs on the road

Did you not hear
Nobody's coming home
And if it was true
Believe the lines all lead back to you
A mission that leads you astray

Not choosing
The right path instead
Wasn't it clear
The writing on the wall

Did you not hear
Nobody's coming home
Don't let it pass you by
Don't leave it all behind


14.Why I Stay

This isn't wise they say
To force a line engraved
Though we may come close
These things won't ever change

This is why I know
This is why I must go

And so the game is plagued
With the rituals we've made
I know we won't ever learn
These things they'll never change

This is why I stay
But this is why I must go


15.The Spell

Captured by you and slowly pulled into your web
The venom was smooth, so I didn't mind a thing
As I moved, the strings were held there by you
Something then told me I had no escape

So, please, forgive me for this spell I am under

As the years passed by, I tried to work out the clues
To break this curse that was cast down and held by you
And in this maze at every turn you stood in my way
So I left a disguise in my place

So, please, forgive me for this spell I am under
I lose myself in this spell I am under
I feel your spell on me

We're held in your gaze, lost in a state
A potion of delusion, something is brewing
The poison is blinding, the streets are all winding
The clocks lose their timing, your spell on me has no cure

I feel your spell on me


16.The Visitor

Now from the tides one crawls out
So to stand we may move on

You bleed, you blister in the sun
You bleed for everyone

Now it's time for all visitors here to leave
Now so close we turn back
But remember no one leaves

You bleed, you blister in the sun
You bleed for everyone

Our visit here is through
And now it's time to leave


17.Before The People

Before the church before the people
We had a feeling something was lost
Between a feeling before you notice
There is a choice there is a silence inside

Before I could focus before I noticed
The stranger who stood outside slipped from my sight
This is not my mind was the reflection from inside
This is not my mind
