1.Filth And Squalor
Somewhere there's a choice being made
For the mass by the will of a broken few
guided by the hand of the guilty
praised as the cure for a curse
really this is all catastrophic
and we tell it to the hull of a sinking ship
scratching for a breath at the surface
praying for the ropes to slip
i always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
as soon as they learned to speak, we would be suffering
sucking on the scraps of a wicked well
we were bound by need, to vicious villainy
tear it down start again
listen, every trace of stale scars can mend
then we will sing,
the way things used to be
the way things used to be
the way things used to be
the way things used to be
i always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
as soon as they learned to speak, we would be suffering
sucking on the scraps of a wicked well
we were bound by need, to vicious villainy
tear it down start again
i always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
as soon as they learned to speak, we would be suffering
choking on the scraps of a wicked well
we were bound by need, to vicious villainy
i always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
as soon as they learned to speak, we would be suffering
sucking on the scraps of a wicked well
and we were bound by need, to vicious villainy
tear it down start again
2.Deny It All
The hollow stick arrogance that binds
But good faith and fortune rarely reward our cries
While we wait carefully and see
Denied and borrowed, tonight
Deny
Deny it all
And it all will go away
Close your eyes, and deny it all
And it all will go away
Nursing stale history, and the apathy it brings
Too fascinated by the most material things
While we wait carefully and see
Denied and borrowed, tonight
Deny
Deny it all
And it all will go away
Close your eyes, and deny it all
And it all will go away
Never took you long to pray
Either way, I spend you like I know some better way
Force of habit.
Now it takes a while to pray
In a way, you spit me out, you changed my name
Never took you long to pray
Either way, I spend you like I know some better way
Force of habit.
Now it takes a while to pray
In a way, you spit me out, you changed my name
Deny, deny it all
And it all will go away
Close your eyes, and deny it all, and it all will go away
3.But There's Wolves?
Wide smiles bearing teeth,
Can't fake what's underneath,
'Cause I don't want to waste any time.
You've got crooked speak,
Broke words from suffering,
But I don't mean to make any lies.
I'm not waiting, no, not waiting here!
Ankles bound to cinders watch them burn!
You've got rare appeal,
With conscience atrophied,
'Cause you don't need to waste any time.
But I'm not the kind to wait,
Modeled to instigate,
But always end up towing the line.
I'm not waiting, no, not waiting here!
Ankles bound to cinders watch them burn!
In just a moment we can let it all decay,
Or we could just step right on into the sun.
Don't shutter, own it or you'll find out any moment,
That you lost it all before it's begun!
4.She's Always Singing
Your voice arose to the top of the tones and rushed around
And I became addicted to that sound
And every other lover in this city has got a song to sing
But none of them ring in my ears
The clamor calmed and when you cleared your throat and spoke
gracefully
My body swayed with every word you'd speak
And every other lover in this city has got a song to sing
But none of them ring, but none of them ring in my ears
And every other lover in this city has got a song to sing
But none of them ring, but none of them ring, but none of them
ring.
5.Things That Hide Away
Waking up I felt that hesitation
Like I wasn't meant to wake up at all
Letting out a soft, cynical sigh
My God, it's just the answer
To the question I can't find
Marching on, it's one foot then the other
Better than one foot then none at all
Biting off way more than I can chew
Like I sometimes do
I never know when just when and where to stop
Why are we here, why do we die?
Maybe we're just never meant to know why
Why are we here, why do we die?
Why, why, why?
Why are we here, why do we die?
Maybe we're just never meant to know why
Why are we here, why do we die?
Why, why, why?
6.Canopy
I was spinning through the air when I thought my life was ending
But I was really on the ground and you were lying right next to
me
I looked right into your eyes, and I found myself pretending
That we were high above the canopy but tethered to the trunk of
a tree
Slow down, take time, and see the forest for the leaves
I know that I should practice what I preach
I was falling to the ground when I felt my body breaking
But I had fallen in your lap, with my head tilted back
So I could see the sun eclipsed by your hair that left a halo
hanging
Waiting above so when you go you don't have to wait to get your
wings
Slow down, take time, and see the forest for the leaves
I know that I should practice what I preach
Slow down, take time, and see the forest for the leaves
I know that I should practice what I preach
7.Trapdoor
Every now and then I get down
But this cup of gin picks me right back up.
Lately I've been drowning in this chair,
Time again, I'm never here.
Lost in my head, hand to my heart,
I swear that I'll try, don't go.
Lately I've been losing sleep,
Heavy eyes and weary.
But every now and then I find myself
Stuck in a way I can't get out of.
Lost in my head, hand to my heart,
I swear that I'll try, don't go.
You say that you've heard it before
That the pitch the tone are unsure.
But the weight of your words is too much,
And the look in your eyes, oh it cuts.
Darling please don't abandon me,
Please just take a breath and see
That not everything is lost
And the profit will outweigh the cost
If the only thing you want is love.
8.What Time Taught Us
Love you crawl, it's all coming back now,
But the thing of it is, that it never really was.
Intuition never suited, so I kept it outside.
Be alive, cause nothing last for good or like you thought it
would,
Nothings as it seems or what you though it'd be.
Alive, cause nothing last for good, or like you thought it
would,
Nothings as it seems or what you thought it'd be.
Alive, cause nothing last for good or like you thought it would,
Nothings as it seems or what you thought it'd be.
Alive, cause nothing last for good or like you thought it would,
Nothings as it seems or what you thought it'd be.
Alive, cause nothing last for good or like you thought it would.
Nothings as it seems or what you thought it'd be.
...
Alive, cause nothing last for good or like you thought it would,
Nothings as it seems or what you thought it'd be.
9.Lillian
She was stuck in pictures
While he passed time in film
Oh silly fame, why do you play
Frame by frame, day by day
With reels changing over
And dropping to the sides
Oh solemn soul see where you are
And look to the sides what you discard
Press your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie
When the cameras roll, hide away your soul
Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain
But don't get stuck in something you hate
Bring me the eyes of the earth
Cut off the tongue of the world
Keep the ends close in sight to the means that imply
You're not living the life that you're worth
Pressing your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie
When the cameras roll, hide away your soul
Flashing your eyes to sell, lying to yourself
Dodging truth form the start, hide away your heart
Turn around forge a smile entertain
But don't get stuck in something painful
Something worse than nothing
We could have been smart
With the plot from the start
Mistakes from the spark
We knew it wasn't love
Breathe in deep and lie
When the cameras roll
Hide away your soul
Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain
10.Home
With the good chance that we crash, let's say our grace (our
grace)
In your final breathe believe, you're not alone.
Help will come,
Yeah you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way,
Yeah you can come back home.
So come back home
As your eyes begin to fade, your mind will wander (will wander)
This life is just a game we play, that we can never win.
But don't give up, no don't give up.
Help will come,
Yeah you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way,
Yeah you can come back home.
So come back home
Now in the end it's coming clear, you're not alone
'Cause everyone you've ever loved is waiting here for you
So don't give up, no don't give up.
Yeah, 'cause help will come,
Yeah you can come back home. (You can come back home yeah)
'Cause help is on the way,
Yeah you can come back home. (You can come back home)
So come back home
11.Fall And Flee
We all become memories after having gone.
Dancing in the light flickering behind their eyes.
I'm hoping it's showing my heart never stopped growing,
I'll take comfort in knowing, this melody has never been sung,
With these words!
We come and then we go, goodbye!
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee awry.
Try to make the most, even after we all know,
We're giving up the ghost, a final glow before we burn.
I'm hoping it's showing my heart never stopped growing,
I'll take comfort in knowing, this melody has never been sung,
With these words!
We come and then we go, goodbye!
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee awry.
Oooh, Goodnight!
Oooh, Goodbye!
I'm hoping it's showing my heart never stopped growing,
I'll take comfort in knowing...
