1.Crystal Clear
I was told when I was young,
That I could one day hold the world right as it spun,
But now it seems as though
I've made a mess of everything I've ever done
Could I forget it all？
Follow the setting sun...
It's crystal clear to me
That I've been killing time
Nothing's going to stand in my way
Cos I'm not done,
Even if the sun sets I will start a fire
To change your mind
A scar is just a mark,
Not a burden but a start of something new
Even stars in the end fade,
Given time coast lines will change so why won't you？
Could I forget it all？
I've lost teeth, failed every test,
My broken heart's the only thing of any value I have left
It's crystal clear to me
That I've been killing time
Nothing's going to stand in my way
Cos I'm not done,
Even if the sun sets I will start a fire
To change your mind
You will see me in the dark,
Burning brighter than the stars
I defy the motion of the setting sun,
I hold my head up high cos I'm still here
2.Sons Of Apathy
A notion cold as the night air＊
Starts within in my head
Spreads like ink right through my veins
All of our kings are dead
I am not a scholar and I don't believe in fate
Surely as I share your blood will I end up the same？
If there's one thing I have learned
In my short time on this earth
Devotion should be owed not earned
Only you determine what you're worth
We are set free
We are the sons of apathy
Though it's not right
It's all we know
And there's no one left to follow
We are the heirs to empty thrones
And promises un-kept
We sit and watch the empire burn with mild disinterest,
But we are not forsaken,
We have a gift worth more than gold
We've been shown how not to live
By gracious kings of old
If there's one thing I have learned
In my short time on this earth
Devotion should be owed not earned
Only you determine what you're worth
We are set free
We are the sons of apathy
Though it's not right
It's all we know
And there's no one left to follow
My father was an oak
The earth moved when he spoke
My father conquered seas
But was not there for me.
My father was an oak
The earth moved when he spoke
My father conquered seas
But was not there for me.
My father was an oak
The earth moved when he spoke
My father conquered seas
But was not there for,
Was not there for me.
We are set free
We are the sons of apathy
Though it's not right
It's all we know
And there's no one left to follow
3.Meter ＆ Verse
I carry my mistakes＊
And she carries them too
When all I see are bruises black
She shows me the blue
I remember the tears in the morning
The dread of the veil gently falling to the floor
I'll never know divinity
So inadequately I carve
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her
When my ship has run it's course
She steers me back out to the sea
She won't let me run aground
I've seen the storms she's met, I've seen the tears in secret
shed
She sees me as an eagle though I am just a crow
She sees me as a diamond though I'm just a weathered stone
I'll never know divinity, so inadequately I carve
In meter and verse
She believes in God, but I believe in her
I stole a glimpse of you in pain
And I'll take the image to my grave
You look towards the heavens, and I look up to you
I kneel because there are no words, an act will have to do
She believes in God but I believe in...
...no divinity
So inadequately I carve
In meter and verse
She believes in God, but I believe in her.
4.Weight Of The World
A continent of doubt weighs heavy on mind＊
How long can my brittle bones bend,
Before they yield and snap？
I don't wanna know, 'cos I'm so scared,
It's not gonna get easier than this
Because it's too much to bear my darling, the weight of the
world,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden i can't bear.
Is a burden I can't bear.
Maybe it's gravity, that pulls her to my chest,
Not the fear that she is the source of what little strength i've
got left,
I don't wanna know, 'cos i'm so scared,
It's not gonna get easier than this
Because it's too much to bear my darling, the weight of the
world,
I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden i can't bear.
my horizon lies a jagged line,
oh i can clearly see,
the mountains that i've yet to climb,
i'll get there if it kills me.
because its too much to bear my darling,
the weight of the world,
and i would carry it for you,
but please don't ask me to because the
weight of the world is a burden i cant bear.
is a burden i cant bear.
and i would carry it for you,
but please don't ask me to,
because the
weight of the world,
is a burden i can't bear.
5.D.O.A
I'm always on the run＊
From all the things I've never done
But I can never escape
Fluid in my lungs
I've been treading water for so damn long
You burn the books you never read
Because of what you think they said
I'm not dead on arrival
Though I'm up against the ropes
So I'll stare into the darkness
Just to see how deep it goes
Neon and silhouettes
Stare at the light and not yourself
Seems we don't bury our dead
We watch but we don't learn
Entertained but unconcerned
And unaware
You burn the books you never read
Because of what you think they said
But I'm not dead on arrival
Though I'm up against the ropes
So I'll stare into the darkness
Just to see how deep it goes
We're told to watch others live our dreams
So we all sit staring at the screens
The numbing warmth of the neon blue
Can't give me something to hold on to
I'm not dead on arrival
Though I'm up against the ropes
So I'll stare into the darkness
Just to see how deep it goes.
6.Stitches
Every hour is a season＊
Every minute lasts a day
So I sit here picking stitches
I find comfort in decay
How I long to fill my lungs
So tell me how does it feel to,
Breathe air cold and clean
'Cause I've been living on my knees since I was seventeen
Thought I was safe beneath the smoke,
But even under cover I still choke
Well my wings were clipped and even if they weren't
(Even if they weren't)
I've not the guts to fly and leave behind the Earth
(Leave behind the Earth)
There's no poetry in my soul,
(Poetry, in my soul)
Just a list of lies I've told,
(There's just lies, that I've told)
And I don't know how much longer I can hold on.
Well my wings were clipped and even if they weren't
(Even if they werent)
I've not the guts to fly and leave behind the earth
(Leave behind the Earth)
There's no poetry in my soul,
Just a list of lies I've told
And I don't know how much longer I can hold on
My wings were clipped but even if they weren't
I've not the guts to fly and leave behind the earth
There's no poetry in my soul
Just a list of lies I've told
And I don't know how much longer I can hold...
7.Winter Kiss
Every night I hold a vigil＊
Is another spent in vain,
I never thought I'd find religion, baby,
Oh god, save me from this pain
I want to sleep, but I hear voices,
(Calling out)
I hear them calling out to me,
This winter kiss has left me poisoned
(Left me here)
And I will never be the same again
The devil you know is better than the ghost you don't,
So I sit and the scan the frequencies,
Watch the falling snow,
I'm still searching,
For a sign,
That you're still listening,
But the voice I hear is mine
(I will let you down, to love me is to drown)
I want to sleep, but I hear voices,
(Calling out)
I hear them calling out to me,
This winter kiss has left me poisoned
(Left me here)
And I will never be the same again
A distress call to one and all,
Can you hear me？ Please respond,
'Cause I'm searching for a sign of life,
But all I hear is white noise...
I want to sleep, but I hear voices,
(Calling out)
I hear them calling out to me,
This winter kiss has left me poisoned
(Left me here)
And I will never be the same again
8.Elements
It's twenty below＊
That I don't feel the cold, anymore.
Though the elements conspire,
To drain me of desire, I move on.
So I have spent so long searching,
Didn't know what I was looking for.
Don't know where I've been,
Much less to where I'm heading.
Led by the impulse that's embedded in my flesh
I have spent so long searching,
Didn't know what I was looking for.
So in love with the horizon that I,
Didn't see night fall
Every ragged breath I feel a little more at peace inside,
(don't let anybody tell you otherwise)
Though the weather rages
No, I never hide
(It's only in the journey that we're really alive)
I have spent so long searching,
Didn't know what I was looking for.
So in love with the horizon that I,
Didn't see night fall
So the weather rages
(No I'll never hide)
Only in the journey are we really alive
9.After The War
I walk these streets with bloodied hands＊
Looking for the peace I lost
Buried in the sand, we live our lives
On front lines
We are all at war with time
It's what they say, I wouldn't have it any other way
After the war
Nobody comes back the same, when all is said and done
Even though I held no gun
After the war
Nobody feels the same
As long as night still follows day
True are the words all errant fathers say
To love is to lose, but I still refuse to give up hope
It's what they say, I wouldn't have it any other way
After the war
Nobody comes back the same, when all is said and done
Even though I held no gun
After the war
Nobody feels the same
So join me in this pale moonlight
Swear that we won't lose the fight
Dig deeper into the sand, and always swim against the tide
We swear an oath to those who've died
We will never forget
It's what they say, I wouldn't have it any other way
After the war
Nobody comes back the same, when all is said and done
Even though I held no gun
After the war
Nobody feels the same.
10.Endless Grey
Shadow I cast, well, it weighs more than my soul＊
And it's the only proof that I am here at all.
I will comfortably invite you if you promise to accept,
Under no uncertain terms, you'd be second best
So unwind this mortal coil with me,
Cause your darkness is a light to me.
All of my colour is bleeding away,
So now you watch me fade into the endless grey,
Into the endless grey.
I keep the inevitable at arms length
Pushing back with all my strength,
But it's not enough.
While my heart collapses like old clay,
Heed my warning, stay away.
All of my colour is bleeding away,
So now you watch me fade into the endless grey,
Into the endless grey.
All of my colour is bleeding away,
So now you watch me fade into the endless grey,
All of my colour is bleeding away,
So now I walk alone into the endless grey
Into the endless grey.
11.At The Gates
I see the vultures over head (over head)＊
They're circling for the waking dead (waking dead)
Walking the line
Mile after mile
Seems so much further than I ever thought
Have I lost my way？
So I stand at the gates,
Screaming 'I am not afraid'
But there's, no-one listening to me.
Oh I know I'm to blame
For my hands amongst the flames
I just want to feel alive
As I stumble down this unlit road (unlit road)
my legs buckle underneath the load (the load)
oh it twists and turns, my muscles burn
I keep on going to stop me from thinking
that I've lost my way
So I stand at the gates,
Screaming 'I am not afraid'
But there's, no-one listening to me.
Oh I know I'm to blame
For my hands amongst the flames
I just want to feel alive
March on, march on
Until I'm at the gates
March on, march on
So I stand at the gates,
Screaming 'I am not afraid'
But there's, no-one listening to me.
Oh I know I'm to blame
For my hands amongst the flames
I just want to feel alive
(I feel alive)
March on, march on
(I feel alive)
March on, march on
(I feel alive)
March on, march on
(I feel alive)
March on, march on
12.Beneath The Waves
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today＊
To lament the loss of honesty,
To the art of saving face.
Of vanity and opacity,
A generation lost beneath the waves.
Loose lips sink ships,
And we're all going down.
We're in the throes of vertigo,
Higher is impossible.
Sink like a stone,
Let it all go,
Higher is impossible.
The oceans rise to break the bow,
And I find peace within the sound,
Or water rushing in.
So bid farewell to all you know,
Take your place way down below,
We'll sleep beneath the waves.
Loose lips sink ships,
And we're all going down.
We're in the throes of vertigo,
Higher is impossible.
Sink like a stone,
Let it all go,
Higher is impossible.
Loose lips sink ships,
And we're on our way down.
So slowly we drift down,
And all our Kings are dead now.
