WHISPERS IN THE ECHO CHAMBER OF MY MIND
IN THE VOID THEY COME ALIVE AND INTERTWINE
IN THE VOID I SAW ALL I EVER WANTED
BEYOND REALITY, BEYOND THE BINARY

BATHING IN THE BLOOD OF WHO I USED TO BE
OFFERING UP ALL MY IMPERFECT OFFERINGS
BECOME MY OWN FANTASY
TWIST THE OLD SELF INTO POETRY

UNDONE
CUT THE CORDS
CUT TIES
TO YOURS

THIS WORLD WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR US
AND I’VE BEEN PUNISHED, I’VE BEEN BLESSED
SURROUNDED BY LIVING GHOSTS, YOU SEE
I THOUGHT I HAD TO SWALLOW THEM BEFORE THEY SWALLOWED ME
BUT YOU ONLY KNOW THE ONE I’VE BEEN
I’VE SHED A THOUSAND SKINS SINCE THEN
A CURSE UPON THE MONSTER OF MORE
THAT SHIT DOES NOT DEFINE ME ANYMORE

UNDONE
CUT THE CORDS
CUT TIES
TO YOURS

UNDONE
CUT THE CORDS
CUT TIES
TO YOURS

I’M DONE
CUT THE CORDS
CUT TIES
TO YOURS

MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, DONE.

WATCH THIS EMPIRE
AS IT BURNS AND DISSIPATES
HAUNTED, ON FIRE
ON THE WINGS THAT WE CREATE

ANGELS, VAMPIRES
ONE BREATHES LIFE UNTO THE OTHER
BRANDED, BAPTIZED
BY YOUR LOVE AND BY YOUR HUNGER

AND I WOULD GIVE YOU MY LIFE
ONE “SIN” LEADS TO ANOTHER
AND I WOULD GO THROUGH THE FIRE
TO GET TO YOU

IN THESE CONFINES
TRUE LOVE’S SHADOW STILL AWAITS
CRACKED AND FRACTURED
HELD ANEW AND WHOLE AGAIN

CAN YOU CONTAIN MY LOVE
CALL ME BACK TOGETHER
‘CAUSE I WOULD RUN THROUGH THE FIRE
TO GET TO YOU

(DON’T GIVE ME UP
DON’T LET ME GO)

AND I WILL GO THROUGH THE FIRE
AND I WILL GO THROUGH THE FIRE
AND I WILL GO THROUGH THE FIRE
AND I WILL

I’M SANCTIFIED IN MY LOVER’S EYES
I’M SANCTIFIED IN MY LOVER’S EYES

NO WAY AROUND IT
NO WAY TO FIGHT
A PULL TOO STRONG
DON’T TRY TO FORFEIT
THE WAY IS THROUGH
ON TUNNEL LIGHTS

CAN WE RECEIVE THIS LIGHT
CAN WE RECEIVE LIGHT
AND WE WERE WEIGHING
AND WE WERE WEIGHING

NO WAY AROUND IT
NO WAY TO FIGHT
A PULL TOO STRONG
DON’T TRY TO FORFEIT
THE WAY IS THROUGH
ON TUNNEL LIGHTS

IF YOU DENY DEATH, YOU DENY LIFE
LET IT SUFFER, LET IT SHINE
WHAT MUST BE SEVERED, LEFT BEHIND? 
WHAT IS THERE YET TO FIND?

I’M SANCTIFIED IN MY LOVER’S EYES
I’M SANCTIFIED IN MY LOVER’S EYES

NO WAY AROUND IT
NO WAY TO FIGHT
A PULL TOO STRONG
DON’T TRY TO FORFEIT
THE WAY IS THROUGH
ON TUNNEL LIGHTS

NO WAY AROUND IT
NO WAY TO FIGHT
A PULL TOO STRONG
DON’T TRY TO FORFEIT
THE WAY IS THROUGH
ON TUNNEL LIGHTS

TOOK THE MOTHER ROAD
DOWN TO GODDESS FLESH
I SWALLOWED THE KEY
I WANT TO LEARN TO SWALLOW MY PAIN
HALLOWED THE FRUIT, HALLOWED THY NAME

GUESS I NEEDED SOMETHING TO BREAK ME
GUESS I NEEDED SOMETHING TO SHAKE ME UP
GUESS I NEEDED SOMEONE TO BREAK ME
GUESS I NEEDED SOMEONE TO SHAKE ME OUT

AFRAID TO LIVE, AFRAID TO DIE
BUILDING A BROKEN BUT PRECIOUS WEB
LIKE A SPIDER IN CHERNOBYL
AND WHEN THE CATTLE LOW, SOMETHING IS ON THE HORIZON
I DO NOT HAVE A CHILD
BUT I’M OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW SOME PAIN
AND I’M HELL BENT ON LOVING YOU
WOMEN KNOW WHAT IT IS TO ENDURE

GUESS I NEEDED SOMETHING TO BREAK ME
GUESS I NEEDED SOMETHING TO SHAKE ME UP
GUESS I NEEDED SOMEONE TO BREAK ME
GUESS I NEEDED SOMEONE TO SHAKE ME OUT
IT WAS YOU
IT WAS YOU

BLOOM AND ECLIPSE THEM, WAKE UP AND TRANSFORM
BLOOM AND ECLIPSE THEM, WAKE UP AND TRANSFORM
BLOOM AND ECLIPSE THEM, WAKE UP AND TRANSFORM
BLOOM AND ECLIPSE THEM, WAKE UP AND TRANSFORM

WHEN YOU COME DEAD LAST
IN BATTLES LONG PAST
INTENDED TO RIP MY HEART OUT
ORACLE OF YOUR SECRETS

YOUR EYE WAS TRAINED ON ME
AS I STOOD BEFORE YOU, UNBUTTONING
KISS ME AS THE BELL TOLLS
SWIFTLY, AS THE HORSES RIDE

WON’T YOU DANCE
WON’T YOU DANCE
WON’T YOU DANCE
WON’T YOU DANCE

DAMN MY DREAMS, THE TORMENTORS
LAST NIGHT YOUR MOUTH WAS ON MY SKIN
AND THE POPPIES WERE LIKE FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN
I TOOK YOUR HAND AND LED YOU HOME

ALL MY OLD WAYS HAVE STARTED KICKIN IN
AND MY BAD DAYS ARE COMIN ROUND AGAIN
LEFT HERE IN AMERICAN DARKNESS
RIVER ON FIRE AND SUN ECLIPSED

WON’T YOU DANCE
WON’T YOU DANCE
WON’T YOU DANCE
WON’T YOU DANCE
(CAUSE I’M COMIN)

WHEN YOU COME
WHEN YOU COME
WHEN YOU COME
WHEN YOU COME BACK TO ME

I SEE YOU HARVESTING
I SEE YOU WRAPPED IN MY WAY
BUT YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH IT HONEY NO, YOU’LL NEVER COME CLOSE TO ME
YOU WILL FORGIVE ME IF I’M LEAN
OR COMATOSE ON CODEINE
WE WERE BAPTIZED: GREY STONES AND AZURE RIVER TO WAKE ME FROM THIS TWILIGHT SLEEP
AS WE DRAW NEAR THE WAITING ROOM
WITH THE NOD OF TWO WHITE OWLS
ONE TO SEDATE HER, ONE SHOT TO STOP HER HEART DEAR ETHEL, ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CITY WENT OUT
BIRTH OF VIOLENCE SISTER OF THE ROAD
I SEE YOUR DEFENSES I TAKE TEN PACES
I’VE COME TO KNOW WHAT I NEED I VISUALIZE WHILE I BLEED TOWNES SENT A MUDSLIDE –
AN EARLY MORNING SHIVER
WON’T LET THEM TAKE YOU FROM ME

BIRTH OF VIOLENCE SISTER OF THE ROAD
I SEE YOUR DEFENSES I TAKE TEN PACES
BABY YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE

I’M DERANGED FOR ROCK N ROLL
STARLIT
BIG MOOD
DON’T GET ME STARTED THIS AIN’T THE LIFE I CHOSE IT WAS WAITING THERE
FOR ME TO CALL
NOW I’M ON THIS TRAIN
I HEAR IT ROLLIN’ ON
I’M DERANGED FOR ROCK N ROLL
ALL THESE YEARS
HAVE MADE ME STRONG
3 BAPTISMS FOR THIS SOILED DOVE OUT OF MY HEAD
THE FINAL HIGH
I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE
I’M DERANGED FOR ROCK N ROLL

WALKING THE OLD PATH TURNED ME TOWARDS DEATH THE RAVENS WOKE AT DAWN
AND DAYLIGHT PLUMED MY SKIN
THEN THE AIR WAS FULL, SIMPLY COMPOSED OF PREY
I CANNOT STOP
I WANT TO BE ALL THINGS I’VE GOT TO LET GO
I WANT TO BE ALL THINGS
WARRIORS, NEWBORNS, AND QUEENS
THE LION AND THE WOLF GNARLING AT ETERNAL SLEEP
LET IT BURN
HEAR IT GROAN RESTRAINED DESIRE CAST IT DOWN
I CANNOT STOP
I WANT TO BE ALL THINGS I’VE GOT TO LET GO
I WANT TO BE ALL THINGS
I CANNOT STOP
I WANT TO BE ALL THINGS I’VE GOT TO LET GO
I WANT TO BE ALL THINGS

A HUNDRED MILLION HOURS SPENT ON THE WIRE ERDE
LIKE THE CROOKED RIVER WOULD CATCH FIRE

ALL-DIRT
WAVES OF DEVASTATION
ERDE
GOT A BABY ON DEATH ROW
ALL-DIRT

BROKEN FRAME OF MIND
INTERTWINED
FROM THE VALES OF EDEN
TO THE SWELLING TIDE
WE CRIED TOGETHER
ERDE
WOMAN IS THE ORIGIN

I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY SAY
WHAT WE’VE DONE

CAUSE PEOPLE SURE GOT A LOT TO SAY
UNTIL THEY’RE STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
THEY’LL HUNT YOU
THEN THEY’LL HAUNT YOU
THEIR ANGER HAS THEM UNDER A SPELL THEIR HATRED IS LIKE A POISON
THAT MAKES THEM FEEL AGAIN

HEAR YOU – I WANNA HEAR YOU SAY I WANNA SEE YOU BEG
NEED YOU
NO I DON’T NEED YOU, OH
NOT THIS TIME
WHEN ANGER TURNS TO HONEY
IN MOMENTS LIKE THIS I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU FOR PAIN IS THE GREAT CONNECTOR
THEY TREAT YOU LIKE PREY BUT YOU’RE THE HUNTER YOU’RE THE HUNTER

LIVING IN DIRT UNIVERSE
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS WORSE THE INDIFFERENCE OR LONGING THE STAYING OR THE GOING
THEY SAY GLORY COMES FROM THE DIRT
WATER CUTS THROUGH THE ROCK AND THE HURT BEGGING FOR HEALING, SURGING AND THRUMMING
I SEDATED MYSELF
JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU
I AM THE DAUGHTER OF SORROW
KEEP LOOKING – YOU’RE GONNA FIND ME TEETH READY, SHARP, SNARLING
OH, I’M WAITING
THE TONGUE OF SILENCE

IT CONGEALS AND IT’S VOIDED IT CONGEALS AND IT’S VOIDED
LIVING IN DIRT UNIVERSE
FUCKED GIFT AND I’M BLESSED WITH A CURSE A HEAD FULL OF HOWLING
SELF-EXILE AND RECOILING
I SEDATED MYSELF, JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU I AM THE DAUGHTER OF SORROW
KEEP LOOKING – YOU’RE GONNA FIND ME TEETH READY, SHARP, SNARLING
OH, I’M WAITING
WITH A TONGUE OF SILENCE WITH A TONGUE OF SILENCE WITH A TONGUE OF SILENCE WITH A TONGUE OF SILENCE
IT CONGEALS AND IT’S VOIDED IT CONGEALS AND IS VOIDED

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE ONE
I’D FOLLOW YOU INTO THE SUN I HELD YOUR HAND

I WENT OUTSIDE
YOU NEVER SAW ME AGAIN

SUNRISE SUNSET
SUNRISE SUNSET

TOUCH NOT YE MY LITTLE GRAVE FOR MAMA IS NOW FAR AWAY THEY LAY ME THERE

SUNRISE SUNRISE SUNRISE SUNSET

SUNRISE SUNRISE SUNRISE SUNSET

PREFACE TO A DREAM PLAY
TIME AND SPACE DO NOT EXIST HERE
AND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
THROW A SPEAR INTO THE UNKNOWN
THE CLOCK HANDS BEGIN TO MELT AWAY REPLACED BY THE MARCHING OF YOUR ARMY
YOU WERE RIGHT YOU WERE RIGHT
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
WHEN YOUR HAIR WAS WILD AND LONG

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
WHEN WE COULD DO NO HARM
YOU GAVE IT AWAY AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS YOU GAVE IT AWAY AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS
YOU WERE RIGHT YOU WERE RIGHT YOU WERE RIGHT INGMAR
HELL IS ON EARTH HELL IS ON EARTH HELL IS ON EARTH HELL IS ON EARTH

ANOTHER CITY, ANOTHER DAY
LEFT ALL OF ME ON THE STAGE
HEAR THAT TRAIN
HEAR THAT LONELY HIGHWAY HIGHWAY

SO ADRIFT SO ALIGHT
LOST MYSELF IN THE LIGHTS
SPINNING WHEELS KILL THE TIME
WITH YOU ON MY MIND

HOURS OF THE HOLY
WE WERE SO ALONE THERE
JUST CAN’T SEEM TO GET AWAY
SHADE OUR EYES TO VEIL THE PAIN

HOUSES OF THE HOLY WHISPERS OF THE LONELY
JUST CAN’T SEEM TO KEEP ME OFF THIS LOST HIGHWAY
HIGHWAY HIGHWAY HIGHWAY HIGHWAY

I LIFT MY EYES, I SLOW MY GAIT
AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN
YOU LEAVE ME RESTLESS, YOU LEAVE ME HUNG
YOU LEAVE ME COILED
YOU LEAVE ME SPUN

AWAKEN IN A TANGLE OF WIRE
I SLEPT DESPERATE, TRYING TO REACH YOU
YOU LEAVE ME RECKLESS, YOU LEAVE ME SICK
I DESTROY MYSELF AND THEN I WANT IT AGAIN

SPUN

HEAVY LOVE
COILED AND SPUN

a brute, an angel, and a madwoman
a most elegant impediment
was there from the start
waiting and repeating within me
waiting and repeating
my problem is their downthrow and upheaval
and my enquiry is as to their working
and my effort is their self-expression
but i was only rock, dust, water and ice
and animal instincts all along
the hyperosmia and the base sense
the prodrome and the aura
the shadows and the sleep deprivation
the trichomes and the deliriants
cut through the fear conditioning
to finally understand
it was all and everything or nothing
and all and everything or nothing

I’VE SPENT, IN DIFFERENT BEDS
MANY MOONS
AND THAT’S THE WAY I PREFER IT

I CAN’T
SHE SAID, I’D SAVE YOU BUT I CAN’T HIDE

I FEEL IT CRAWL UP MY LEGS
LET ME WRAP YOU UP IN THESE THIGHS
IT GETS ME OUT OF MY HEAD AGAIN

I CAN’T
SHE SAID, I’D SAVE YOU BUT I CAN’T LOVE

16 PSYCHE
COMA TAIL QUIVERING
KNEW ALL ALONG

I CAN’T
SHE SAID, I’D SAVE YOU BUT I CAN’T
SHE SAID, I’D SAVE YOU BUT THE WORLD’S BENT
SHE SAID, I’D SAVE YOU BUT I CAN’T

HUSH
ANCIENT PURR
I SWORE OFF OBSIDIAN THOUGHTS
AND LAY AWAKE ON BROKEN GLASS

I BLED OUT MORE THAN ONCE
I DREW THE POISON OUT

THE SCAVENGER FEEDS IN HUM OF LOW SEA
CAST-OFF EXUVIAE
IN FRAGILITY

I KEPT MY HEAD DOWN AND BIT MY TONGUE
UNTIL I TASTED LOVE

RARE FORM AT THE CASEMENT, FOR WHICH I BURN

PERFECT PSYCHOSIS NOISELESSLY WHIRRS

THEN HEAR THE REFLECTIONS -THE WORDS THEY DEMEAN,

THEN COME THE DESTROYER –

THEN WE’LL FIGHT WITH OUR CLAWS & TEETH

DEAD EYES
I ONLY CALL YOU WHEN YOU’RE IN MY DREAMS
DIED TOO YOUNG
THE CULLING THEN, IT WAS OBSCENE

I AM DEPLETED BY LOVE
I AM DEPLETED BY LOVE

I’LL NEVER TELL THE SECRETS OF MY FAMILY
BLED OUT
A CULT OF ANONYMITY

THE KETTLE IS WHEELING, MY LOVE
RIDING ON THE BACK OF A HELL THEY CAUSED

ONE EAR TO THE GROUND
ONE EYE ON THE ROOM
MY TONGUE ON YOUR PULSE
MY FINGER IN YOUR WOUND

SWEET DEAD EYES, I LONG TO HEAR YOU AGAIN
SWEET DEAD EYES, I LONG TO SEE YOUR FACE
SWEET DEAD EYES, I LONG FOR THAT ILLUSTRIOUS HISS
SWEET DEAD EYES, I KNOW YOU FEEL IT

NO TURNING BACK
“only God knows what we’re headed for”
THE FLOWERS BLOOM
THE SUN RISES

FLUX
HISS
WELT
GROAN

THOUGH YOU TRY TO SWALLOW ME WHOLE
I SUCCUMB TO NOTHING
MY SHELTER COME WITH ME
YOU KNOW IN THIS HELL I AM TORN

FLUX OF TERRAIN WE’VE BEEN ON BEFORE
MADE IT THROUGH OBLIVION THEN THEY CLOSE THE DOOR

NEEDLES OF MEADOW
HOUSES AND ROOMS OF PERFUMES
I HAVE THE SAME OF YOU NOW
WHAT FEVER YOU’LL HAVE OF ME SOON
HERE TIME IS ENDLESS
THE VOICES I LOVE CALL ME HOME
WHO KNOWS FOR ALL DISTANCE
WHAT FUSES ME INTO YOU NOW

FLUX OF TERRAIN WE’VE BEEN ON BEFORE
MADE IT THROUGH OBLIVION THEN THEY CLOSE THE DOOR
ON A LONELY ROAD AGAIN, WE’VE BEEN ON BEFORE
MOTHERS TELL THEIR CHILDREN, “WE’RE GOING HOME”

«BREATHE YOU AWAY»
FLUX OF TERRAIN WE’VE BEEN ON BEFORE
MADE IT THROUGH OBLIVION AND THEY CLOSED THE DOOR
ON A LONELY ROAD AGAIN, WE’VE BEEN ON BEFORE
MOTHERS TELL THEIR CHILDREN, “WE’RE GOING HOME”

WERE YOU SLEEPING ON THE OTHER SIDE
INTO FROZEN, MONSTROUS LIGHT
IT KILLED YOU, A STILLBIRTH
ANONYMOUS LOSS
THE TWIN FAWNS, THE ROSES
NOTHING LIVES LONG
I FEEL YOU, PHANTOM TOUCH
ALTHOUGH YOU’RE FAR
I HEAR YOU, I TASTE YOUR BLOOD
I HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH

YOU’VE GONE AWAY ON THE INSIDE IN TIME
YOU’VE GONE AWAY ON THE INSIDE IN TIME

YOU CUT ME OPEN
YOU LIVED INSIDE
YOU KILL THE WONDER
NOWHERE TO HIDE
I HELD YOU SOBER
WHITE SMOKE AND LOW LIFE
A BIG PILL TO SWALLOW
A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB

TRUE LOVE
TWIN FAWN
SKIN CRAWL
TWIN FAWN

A COLD FLASH
IT HURTS TO STAY, BUT IT HURTS TO STOP
SHARPENED BY GRITSTONE
MY HEART WAS SHORN
YOU DON’T KNEEL, YOU DON’T CRY
YOU’LL BREAK THE NECK OF ANY MAN WHO’LL TRY

YOU’VE GONE AWAY ON THE INSIDE IN TIME
YOU’VE GONE AWAY ON THE INSIDE IN TIME

YOU CUT ME OPEN
YOU LIVED INSIDE
YOU KILL THE WONDER
NOWHERE TO HIDE
I HELD YOU SOBER
WHITE SMOKE AND LOW LIFE
A BIG PILL TO SWALLOW
A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB

TRUE LOVE, TWIN FAWN
SKIN CRAWL
TWIN FAWN, TRUE LOVE

THEY GAVE YOU TO WAR
GAVE YOU AWAY
A GARDEN OF STONES
MARKS THE DEBT
SHE WEARS HER HORRORS
LIKE A WELT
A GLITCH OF A WOMAN
SELF-DESTRUCTING

STATIC HUM

FUSE BY THE FLUX
CRADLE THE ROOTS
A SHEDDING OF BLOOD
GLOWING LIKE THE FLAMING SUN
EUPHORIA HISS
LOVE ME WHEN I FALL APART
IRE RESTRAINED
I’M READY TO LET IT GO
«I’M READY TO FALL APART»

STATIC HUM

HUM STATIC
TWIST IT, GRASP IT
BURNING PLANET
STUNG AND RABID
HUM STATIC
TWIST IT, GRASP IT
BURNING PLANET
STUNG AND RABID
BURNING PLANET
HUMMING STATIC

TWO SPIRIT

TIME SPED UP AND SLOWED DOWN
WITHOUT REGARD FOR ANYONE
I CALLED OUT FROM THE DEEPEST PART
I FEEL CONCAVE
INVERTED FOR YOU
I’LL BE SCREAMING THROUGH THE AFTERLIFE
I’LL BE HUNTING FOR YOU
BURIED UNDER FLOWERS

TWO SPIRIT
TWO SPIRIT

I WANT IT BACK
I WANT IT BACK
WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM ME
I WANT IT BACK

“so stop running
from the weight of existence
show me your insides
show me what’s underneath
show me your bruises
be your own God”

MM
YOU WERE THE SUMMER
YOU WERE THE COMA
YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE
IT WAS SO QUIET
AND THEN YOU CAME AROUND
AND ALL THE HISS OF UNKNOWN
TURNED LIFELESS AND COMMONPLACE

YOU CARRIER
YOU’LL NEVER SEE
WHAT CAME UNDONE
WHAT YOU TOOK FROM ME
CAN YOU HEAR THEM
RATS IN THE WALLS
THEY REMIND ME
TOGETHER OF WHO WE WERE
I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP
OR YOUR HINDRANCE
YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME
YOU SAID “it’s been so long, i’m all alone”
HEAR THE SCRATCH OF THE RATS IN THE WALLS

LED ME HERE
SAID “hold my hand”
A YOUNG NYMPH DEFILED THEN
MY BODY FIGHTS ITSELF INSIDE
I FEEL IT BOW
THIS MORTAL HOLD

YOU CARRIER
YOU REPULSE ME
HEARD THE SOUND
OF HER KNEES SCRAPE AGAINST THE STREET
YOU THE DIRTY ONE, WHAT YOU TOOK FROM ME
THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT BUT HYPOCRISY
HOLY ODIUM, BLOTTED MEMORY
BUT MY REGRET WILL NEVER CONSUME ME
THE OCEAN’S LICKING TONGUE
THE LETTING OF THE BLOOD
VILE PROPHECY
SCRAPE IT OUT OF ME

X

WE LEARNED HOW ON OUR OWN
NEVER NEEDING HELP FROM YOU
REACHING OUT WITH EYES CLOSED
WE FELT THE LIGHT, IT TAUGHT US TO GROW
(HOLD, HOLD, HOLD ON)
CREATURES OF HABIT, CARRION FLOWERS
GROWING FROM REPEATED CRIMES
THE AFTERGLOW IN FULL BLOOM
SLOW AND RELENTLESS, WE’RE AFTER YOU
HOLD ON TO THE PAIN
OF LOVE TAKEN FROM YOU –
A PLAGUE
(HOLD, HOLD, HOLD ON)

A DEAD SUN, A PALE GLOW
UPON THE WALLS I FEIGN TO KNOW
WE BEAR NO FRUIT, NO FLOWERS, NO LIFE
AND WE GET SICK BUT NEVER DIE
BECOME AN ECHO
RESOUNDING “LET GO”
MY HEART IS A TOMB
MY HEART IS AN EMPTY ROOM
I’VE GIVEN IT AWAY
I NEVER WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN
I GO TO HIM IN PATHS OF DREAMS
IN BED AWAKE WITH SHADOW BEINGS
THEY CRAWL INSIDE AND WAIT WITH ME
THE CREATURES HERE BECOME MACHINES
WALK WITH ME TO A PLACE OF TRUST
DEATH WILL NO LONGER SILENCE US
MY HEART IS A TOMB
MY HEART IS AN EMPTY ROOM
I’VE GIVEN IT AWAY
I NEVER WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN
AND ALL YOUR WORDS COULD SAVE ME
BUT KEEP YOUR LOVE AWAY FROM ME
IN ALL THE WORLDS DECAYING
IS THERE PLACE THAT’S SAFE FOR US?
MY HEART IS A TOMB
MY HEART IS AN EMPTY ROOM
I’VE GIVEN IT AWAY
I’VE SWALLOWED THE IRON MOON
MOON, MOON

BABY, THEY DON’T WANT YOU
THEY ONLY WANT TO TEAR YOU APART
THEY BELIEVE IF THEY DRINK YOU THEY’LL BE LIKE YOU
IT’LL NEVER END
THE DRAG WILL KEEP ON COMING
DRAGGED OUT IN THE WEATHER
DRAGGED OUT IN THE MADNESS
DRAGGED OUT IN YOUR LONELINESS
SOMETIMES I WANNA LOSE MY MIND,
LOSE MYSELF
SOMETIMES I WANNA
LOSE MY MIND,
LOSE MYSELF TO SOMETHING
TO SOMEONE ELSE
WON’T YOU TAKE ME DOWN
I’M SO TIRED, I’M SO TIRED
DRAGGED OUT IN THE WEATHER
DRAGGED OUT IN THE MADNESS
DRAGGED OUT IN YOUR LONELINESS

WHERE ARE YOU
WHERE ARE YOU
WHERE ARE YOU
WHERE ARE YOU
IN THE MAW
SHATTERED TEETH
UNDERNEATH A
DRIPPING TONGUE
I’VE BEEN WAITING
IN THIS SILENCE
WHILE YOU’RE SLEEPING
UNTIL YOU BELIEVE
WHERE ARE YOU
WHERE ARE YOU
IN THE MAW
IN A WORLD SO DIRTY
INTOXICATED
A LIFE OF TEARS
IN THE MAW
A WORLD IN A DAZE
NONE CAN BE TRUSTED
IN THE MOUTH OF THE BEAST
I’VE BEEN WAITING
IN THIS SILENCE
WHILE YOU’RE SLEEPING
UNTIL YOU BELIEVE
I’VE BEEN WAITING
IN THIS SILENCE
I’M ON FIRE
I’M ON FIRE

HOW MANY YEARS HAVE I BEEN SLEEPING?
NOBODY EVER SAID I WAS ALIVE
WHY DOES EVERYTHING FEEL SO UNNAMED?
THE POISON INSIDE HELPS ME ALONG
GREY AND HOLY
YOU SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
LIKE THE MORPHINE
YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAY
PRETEND IT’S OK
THE GREY DAYS
LOST INSIDE THE RIVER STYX
I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO RUN
NO HUNGER, NO FEVER, NO LOSS, NO WAGER
COULD WAKE YOUR MIND
HOW MANY YEARS HAVE I BEEN SLEEPING?
HOW MANY HOURS DID I THROW AWAY?
WHY DOES EVERYTHING FEEL SO UNNAMED?
THE POISON INSIDE HELPS ME ALONG
GREY AND HOLY
YOU SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
LIKE THE MORPHINE,
YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAY
PRETEND IT’S OK –
THE GREY DAYS

NOTHING WILL KEEP US APART
I SAID NOTHING WILL KEEP US APART
I KNOW THAT YOU’LL FIND ME THERE
AFTER THE FALL
I KNOW THAT YOU’RE WAITING
I KNOW THAT YOU’LL FIND ME THERE
AFTER THE FALL
I KNOW THAT YOU’RE WAITING
READY TO RUN
CHASING THE SUN
I CAN’T WAKE UP
SCREAM AND RUN
DON’T LET THEM WIN
NOTHING WILL KEEP US APART
I KNOW THAT YOU’LL FIND ME THERE
AFTER THE FALL
I KNOW THAT YOU’RE WAITING
I KNOW THAT YOU’LL FIND ME THERE
AFTER THE FALL
I KNOW THAT YOU’RE WAITING
READY TO RUN
CHASING THE SUN
I CAN’T WAKE UP
SCREAM AND RUN
DON’T LET THEM WIN
NOTHING WILL KEEP US APART
GO ON, DRIVE INTO THE MORNING
NEVER GIVE UP
NEVER GIVE IN

CRAZY LOVE, IT’S NOT YOU I FEAR
YOU LET THE DEVIL IN
YOU HOLD HIM NEAR
CRAZY LOVE, WHEN DID THE WAR BEGIN
WHEN WILL IT END
WHEN WILL IT END
CRAZY LOVE
AND I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU
I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU
CRAZY LOVE, WHERE IS OUR HOME
LOOK AT THE PLACE WE’RE IN
THE HELL WE LEFT IT IN
CAN WE FORGET OURSELVES
CAN WE FORGIVE
CAN WE AFFORD THE YEARS, MY LOVELY FRIEND
CRAZY LOVE
I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU
I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU
I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU

SIMPLE DEATH FEELS INFINITE
COMPARED TO THE END OF IT ALL
DARK, DARK WORLD
DANGEROUS RELIGION
AND ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO LEARN
EMPTY WITHIN, EMPTY WITHOUT
SURROUNDED AND ESTRANGED
SOMETIMES I DON’T KNOW
IF I’LL FIND THE ANSWER
OR IF
I’VE EVER ASKED THE QUESTION
SOME NIGHTS I KNOW I’LL FIND THE ANSWER
IN SILENCE
I HEAR IT CRY
LOST AND ALONE IN CONFUSION
I’M SCREAMING
BUT I CAN’T WAKE UP
WE LOOKED AROUND
AND ALL WAS DEAD
OUR ROTTING BODIES SO DEEPLY IN LOVE
EMPTY WITHIN, EMPTY WITHOUT
BUT A VOICE KEEPS ON WHISPERING:
BLUE HAZE
WHITE LIGHT
A DESERT STORM
MIDNIGHT
BLUE HAZE
WHITE LIGHT
A DESERT STORM
MIDNIGHT
THE ROADS BECOME RIVERS
THE WATER STARTS TO RISE
LET ME SWIM
I’M SO SCARED TO FIND..
SOMETIMES I DON’T KNOW
IF I’LL FIND THE ANSWER
OR IF
I’VE EVER ASKED THE QUESTION
SOME NIGHTS I KNOW I’LL FIND THE ANSWER
IN SILENCE
I HEAR IT CRY
LOST AND ALONE IN CONFUSION
I’M SCREAMING
BUT I CAN’T WAKE UP
THE END OF THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL

YOU SAID YOU WON’T BREAK MY HEART
UNLESS YOU DO
YOU SAID YOU WON’T FALL APART
UNTIL THE END
DID WE TRAVEL ALL THIS WAY
JUST TO SURVIVE
DID YOU STAY ANOTHER DAY?
WE COULD SURVIVE
ALL THE SINNERS AND THE SAINTS
MOVE IN THE SAME DIRECTION
THEY WALK IN PLACE
UNTIL THE END
RAMBLE ON THIS BARREN PLACE
WE CALL OUR HOME
DREAMS OF ENDLESS LANDSCAPES
MORPHING, IN LOVE

A HUNGER NEVER SATISFIED
I CAN’T KEEP YOU OFF MY MIND
DANCING, MOVING, PASSING TIME
LOST WORLDS AND ENDLESS NIGHTS
I HELD YOU AT A DISTANCE THEN
SO I COULD KEEP YOU SACRED NOW
I WATCHED THE VEINS UNDER MY SKIN
MOVING, CHANGING FROM BLUE TO RED
THOSE COLORS BATTLE TO REPENT
FIGHTING SOME KIND OF PUNISHMENT
FOR LOVING YOU
THE DEATHLESS TELL ME
GO ON, STAY LOW
GROW OLD AND LET YOUR HAIR GROW
IN SLEEP THERE IS NO SORROW
SLOWLY PROLONGING A CRUEL FATE
FOR LOVING YOU
THEY HEAR EVERYTHING
THEY GLOW WITH THEIR OWN LIGHT
THEY SING OUT YOUR NAME
A THOUSAND TIMES A NIGHT
GENERATIONS OF SADNESS
INBRED AND UNDER FIRE
IN A THOUSAND LANGUAGES
A WORD FOR THIS DESIRE
FOR LOVING YOU

WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE DARK
THEY’LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THE DEEP BLUE SEA
STARE IT DOWN, THE ABYSS
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY FROM IT
SNUFF IT OUT AT THE WICK
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY FROM IT
WITH BROKEN HEARTS, HOW COULD WE FEAR
ANYTHING FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
WHEN I MOVE IT PULLS ME CLOSER
WHEN I SWIM IT DRAGS ME UNDER
WHEN I DREAM IT STEALS MY WONDER
SET ME FREE FROM MY SLUMBER
STARE IT DOWN, THE ABYSS
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY FROM IT
IT HURTS TO LOVE WHEN I REMEMBER
WE WERE BORN UNTO CHAOS
WHEN I MOVE IT PULLS ME CLOSER
WHEN I SWIM IT DRAGS ME UNDER
WHEN I DREAM IT STEALS MY WONDER
THEN SETS ME FREE FROM MY SLUMBER

RUN FROM THE LIGHT
YOUR EYES, BLACK LIKE AN ANIMAL
DEEP IN THE WANDER
AND CARE FOR NO ONE BUT THE OFFSPRING OF YOUR MIGHT
RUN FROM THE ONE WHO COMES TO FIND YOU
WAIT FOR THE NIGHT THAT COMES TO HIDE
YOUR EYES BLACK LIKE AN ANIMAL
BLACK LIKE AN ANIMAL
CROSSING THE WATER
LEAD THEM TO DIE
WE PRESS FOR THE WATER, PRESS FOR THE RIVER, PRESS FOR THE RAIN
WE PRESS FOR THE WATER, PRESS FOR THE RIVER, PRESS FOR THE PAIN

WE HIT A WALL WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
WE’D GIVEN UP
WE WERE NEVER TAUGHT
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG WE DID IGNORE
IT WAS SO COLD
WE WERE NEVER WARNED
WE NEVER WERE
HOW IS IT THE WORLD
HOW IS IT THE ONE
HOW IS THIS THE WORLD
HOW IS THIS THE ONE
WE HIT A WALL WHEN WE WERE ALONE
WE DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL
NO ONE EVER TOLD
I SHOWED YOU HOW TO HOLD MY HAND
AND KISS ME SLOW AND UNENDING
I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO LOVE
(AN ENDLESS WAR)
HOW IS THIS THE WORLD
HOW IS THIS THE ONE
HOW IS THIS THE WORLD
HOW IS THIS THE ONE

YOU PUT THE PILL INSIDE THE PETAL
YOU PUT THE PETAL IN YOUR MOUTH
YOU PUT YOUR LOVE INSIDE THE METAL
YOU BUILD THE METAL FOR YOUR HOUSE
AND THE NIGHT RUNS WILD
YOU PUT THE PILL INSIDE THE PETAL
AND IT RUNS WHITE
YOU PUT THE PETAL IN YOUR MOUTH
YOU PUT YOUR BLOOD INTO THE METAL
AND IT RUNS WHITE
YOU BUILD THE METAL FOR YOUR HOUSE
YOU PUT THE PILL INSIDE THE METAL
YOU PUT THE METAL IN YOUR MOUTH
YOU BLEED INTO YOUR HOUSE OF NETTLES
YOU BLEED THE NIGHT WITHOUT A SOUND
THERE’S AN OCEAN INSIDE YOUR CHEST
WE’VE BEEN SLEEPING INSIDE YOUR HEAD
THERE’S AN OCEAN INSIDE YOUR CHEST
WE’VE BEEN SLEEPING INSIDE YOUR HAND

THE SAW IN THE HANDS IT’S WHITE AS SNOW
THE HEAVY ENDLESS WEIGHT ON MY HEELS IT’S COLD
THE WATER ON MY HEAD BUT I WON’T SPEAK OF YOU
THE HALL AND THE RACK AND THE WHEEL, IT’S TRUE
AND WHEN IT TURNS THE HOLE IN MY VISION FILLS WITH YOU
THE COLD AND THE LOUD AND THEY WON’T LET ME SLEEP
I’VE BEEN DRAGGED ON THE FLOOR AND
MY BLOOD EARNS MY KEEP
MY BODY HOLDS A PICTURE OF THE SUN – IT’S YOU
THE WARDEN BORE A HOLE IN MY SKULL, IT’S TRUE
TORE OFF MY LIMBS AND MY BREASTS
THE HEART IT’S HEAVY IN THE CHEST
AND WHEN IT TURNS THE HOLE IN MY VISION FILLS WITH YOU
(HOLE, RACK, WHEEL, TIME
HEART, THORN, KNEES, BLIGHT
HAND, HOLD, BRIGHT WHITE
WHOLE HEAD FEELS LIGHT)
TORE OFF MY LIMBS AND MY BREASTS
THE HEART IT’S HEAVY IN THE CHEST
PULLED OUT MY TONGUE SO I CAN’T SPEAK THE TRUTH
THE PICTURE IN MY VISION IT’S THE SUN, IT’S YOU

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I EVER WANTED
YOU GOT A FRONT, WELL YOU BETTER FLAUNT IT
ATE A PIECE OF THE DEVIL’S BODY
THE FACE OF THE DEVIL FOLLOWS ME
EVERY DAY IT FEELS LIKE I’M RUNNING
AND I’M HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE BLAZE
AND I CAN BREATHE WHEN I’M UNDERWATER
AND I’M READY WITH A FINGER ON THE TRIGGER
OOH, WHO’S THAT GIRL
WHO’S THAT GIRL
SHE’S ONLY SPECIAL IN SECRET
AND SHE’S GOT HER OWN FAMILIAR SPIRITS
SOMETHING INSIDE OF HER RISES AND SHE KNOWS
DESTRUCTION MAKES THE WORLD BURN BRIGHTER
WHO’S THAT GIRL
WHO’S THAT GIRL
(USE THAT GUN)
WHO’S THAT GIRL
WHO’S THAT GIRL
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I EVER WANTED
YOU GOT A FRONT WELL YOU BETTER FLAUNT IT
ATE A PIECE OF THE DEVIL’S BODY
YEA THE FACE OF THE DEVIL FOLLOWS ME

THIS SUFFERING BRINGS ME CLOSER TO YOU
AND TIME IS BROKEN AND MOVES SLOW
YOUR PURE HEART, YOUR WHITE LIGHT
I SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH FOR EVER BEING CRUEL TO YOU
YOU WASHED ME CLEAN LIKE NO ONE EVER COULD
COME CLOSER NOW AND STEP RIGHT INTO
THE WIDE MOUTH, THE SHARP TEETH OF THE ONE YOU LOVE
I’M NOT THE KIND OF SICK THAT YOU CAN FIX
DON’T YOU WORRY ABOUT ME BABY
I’VE GOT NO ENEMIES AND I’VE GOT NO TIME
THE SONG, WE CARRY ON
EVEN THOUGH YOU PUSHED US DOWN
WE CARRY ON
WHEN YOU TRY TO BLIND MY EYES I CAN SEE TENFOLD
IT’S NOTHING THAT MY HEART CAN’T TAKE, ’CAUSE YOUR HATE HAS MADE ME STRONG
AND STRONGER MEN THAN YOU HAVE TRIED TO BREAK ME
STRONGER MEN THAN YOU HAVE TRIED TO BREAK ME
LEANING TOWARD THE GOLDEN DAYS
FORGET ABOUT THE OLDER DAYS
AND EVERYTHING WE LEFT BEHIND
TO STAND HERE IN ANOTHER LIFE
WE CARRY ON, EVEN THOUGH YOU HELD US DOWN
WE CARRY ON, WITH THE SONG
WE CARRY ON, EVEN THOUGH YOU PUSHED US DOWN
WE CARRY ON

KINGS HAVE ALL LOST THEIR HEADS
SOMEHOW WE, WE LOST OUR WAY
WE ARE RUNNING AWAY
LOST UPON THE LONESOME WINDS
THE VOICE OF GOD DESPAIRING HIM
THEN CREPT INTO THE SEVERED HEADS
OF DREAMS WE HAVE FORGOTTEN AND
LOST UPON THE ROTTED MINDS
OF UNJUST FOOLS WHO’VE FORGOTTEN
LOST UPON THE ROTTED HEARTS
OF THOSE WHO FORGOTTEN US
OUR FROZEN WILLS HAVE MELTED DOWN
INTO NOTHING THEY CAN HELP
INTO NOTHING
ALL IS NOTHING
ALL IS DONE
ALL IS OVER

HOLD THE REINS INSIDE
HOLD IT INSIDE
THESE HORSES THEY PULL ME
THESE HORSES THEY PULL ME
THESE TIRES THEY PULL ME
THESE WINDS THEY PUSH ME
THESE WIRES THEY PULL ME
THESE WIRES THEY PULL ME
TO YOU
THESE HORSES THEY PULL ME
THESE HORSES THEY PULL ME
THESE TIRES THEY PULL ME
ON THE UNFORGIVING ROADS THAT LEAD TO YOU
THESE WINDS THESE WINDS THEY PUSH ME
THESE WIRES THESE WIRES THEY PULL ME
THESE WIRES THESE WIRES THEY PULL ME
TO YOU
AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME NOW

RELEASE YOUR DEAD
RELEASE YOUR DEAD
HOLY ANCESTORS
HOLY ANCESTORS
I SAW IN YOU A PATTERN
I SAW THE REASON WHY
THEY NEVER SAW IT IN YOU
BUT I SWEAR I SAW IT THEN
IN MY HEAD THERE’S A WAR
IN THE END IT’S A HORROR
CAN’T HELP THE CHEMICAL’S FORM
IN MY HEAD THERE’S A WARRIOR
I SAW IN YOU A PATTERN
I SAW THE REASON WHY
HE NEVER SAW IT IN YOU
BUT I SWEAR I SAW IT THEN
RELEASE YOUR DEAD
RELEASE YOUR DEAD
HOLY ANCESTORS
HOLY ANCESTORS
IN MY HEAD THERE’S A WAR
IN THE END IT’S A HORROR
THE URGE TO KILL GETTING STRONGER
IN MY HEAD THERE’S A WARRIOR
AND IT’S A WAR TO FEEL WHOLE
AND IT’S A FEAR TO FEEL AT ALL
AND IT’S THE WONDER AT LOVE
AND IT’S THE WEIGHT OF HER
RELEASE YOUR DEAD
(FOR ME THEY’VE BLED)
RELEASE YOUR DEAD
(THOSE WILD MEN)
BELIEVE YOUR DEAD
(TO GIVE ME DREAMS)
BELIEVE YOUR DEAD
(TO BRING ME DREAMS)

I CAN FEEL THE WALLS CLOSING IN
AND I DON’T WANT TO TALK ANYMORE
WISH I COULD QUIETLY SLIP AWAY
AND LEAVE YOU HERE WITH NO VOID
THE ONLY REASON I STAY IS TO CARE FOR YOU
EVERYTHING ELSE IN ME HAS ATROPHIED
AND I AM COLD AND PAINLESS NOW
I WANT TO LIVE BUT I FEEL NOTHING
WHEN CAN I DIE, WHEN CAN I GO
WHEN WILL I BE FREE, WHEN WILL I KNOW
WHEN CAN I RUN – MY LEGS ARE BOUND
WHEN CAN I GO, WHEN CAN I GO
WAS BORN A BLACKENED SEED IN THE WILD
AND I NEVER WAS A CHILD
I WAS PULLED RIGHT OUT OF THE SEA
AND THE SALT – IT NEVER LEFT MY BODY
SOMEONE OPENED ME UP WHILE I WAS SLEEPING
AND FILLED MY BODY RIGHT UP WITH SAND
I CARRY A HEAVINESS LIKE A MOUNTAIN
IT FORCES ME TO REMAIN
ALIVE AND UGLY, ALIVE AND UGLY
ALIVE AND UGLY, ALIVE AND UGLY
WHEN CAN I DIE, WHEN CAN I GO
WHEN WILL I BE FREE, WHEN WILL I KNOW
WHEN CAN I RUN, MY LEGS ARE BOUND
CAN I LEAVE HERE, KNOWING YOU’LL BE STRONG WITHOUT ME
THEY’LL CLAP WHEN YOU DIE
THEY’LL LOVE YOU WHEN YOU’RE DEAD
AND THEY’LL UNDERSTAND
AND YOU’LL BE FORGIVEN THEN

THE PAIN FORMS A CIRCLE WITH A LIGHT AT THE CENTER
I CAN SEE IT FROM HERE THE END IS COMING
AND ALL THE WAIT, IT WAS FOR NOTHING
I COVERED YOU IN ROYAL JELLY
I MADE YOU QUEEN AND YOU FORGAVE ME
WE’LL BE GIVEN THE WORLD IN THE RIGHT TIME
BUT WE MADE OUR OWN AND LEFT IT EMPTY
THIS WILL BE OURS
’CAUSE WE’RE THE CONCEPT
AND WE’RE THE FLAWED
AND WE’RE THE ANSWER
YOU SAID TO ME IT WON’T BE LONG NOW
YOU’LL LEAVE THE WORLD AND YOU WILL JOIN ME HERE
MY FLESH IS AFRAID BUT I AM NOT
CAUSE LOVE NOW IS ONLY THE PAIN OF NEEDING
THEY TOOK YOUR SMELL, THEY TOOK YOUR SHADOW
AND I’M SEARCHING THROUGH FACES FOR SOMEONE FAMILIAR
I CLAWED AND I CLAWED BUT I COULDN’T FIND YOU THERE
YOU WOULDN’T WAKE I COULDN’T SLEEP FOR YEARS
THIS WILL BE OURS
’CAUSE WE’RE THE THE CONCEPT
AND WE’RE THE FLAWED
AND WE’RE THE ANSWER
AND WE’RE THE STARS
IT WON’T BE LONG NOW
IT WILL BE OURS
IT WILL BE OURS
CREATION WAS THE ONLY WORD THAT MADE YOU FEEL YOU NEVER WERE
AN ENDLESS HOPE IS ALL IT WAS AND HOLDING SACRED ALL WE WERE
AND DON’T FORSAKE THE WAY WE WERE AND DON’T TELL ME YOU NEVER WOULD
AND WE DON’T NEED PHYSICAL THINGS TO MAKE US FEEL AND MAKE US DREAM
WHEN EARTH CRACKS OPEN AND SWALLOWS THEN WE’LL NEVER BE TIRED AGAIN
AND WE’LL BE GIVEN EVERYTHING THE MOMENT WE REALIZE WE’RE NOT IN CONTROL
AND ALL YOU KNOW GETS OLDER WHEN
THE SUN GOES DOWN AND EVERYTHING BEGINS TO FADE AWAY
THE WAVES HAVE COME AND TAKEN YOU TO SEA NEVER TO RETURN TO ME

WHEN THE WIND TAKES ‘EM ALL
AWAY FROM HERE, AWAY FROM ME
WHEN THE SORROW IS ALL GONE
IT IS BURIED IN THE SOIL
WHEN THE WIND TAKES EM ALL
AWAY FROM HERE AWAY FROM ME
WHEN THE SORROW IS ALL GONE
IT IS BURIED IN THE SUN
WHEN THE WOLVES HOWL THEIR SONG
AND THE WHOLE EARTH IS DONE
WHEN THE WOLVES HOWL THEIR SONG
AND THE WIND STILL CARRIES ON

I WANT FLATLANDS
I NEVER CARED ABOUT
MONEY AND ALL ITS FRIENDS
I WANT FLATLANDS
I WANT FLATLANDS
I DON’T WANT PRECIOUS STONES
I NEVER CARED ABOUT
ANYTHING YOU’VE EVER OWNED
I WANT FLATLANDS
I WANT SIMPLICITY
I NEED YOUR ARMS
WRAPPED HARD AROUND ME
I WANT OPEN PLAINS
AND SCATTERED TREES
I WANT FLOWER FIELDS
AND I WANT SALTY SEAS
I WANT FLATLANDS
SOFT AND STEADY BREEZE
BRINGING SCENTS OF LINED-UP ORCHARD TREES
DRIPPING HEAVY WITH PEARS AND DANCING LEAVES
I WANT FLATLANDS
WILL YOU GO THERE WITH ME
WHEN IT’S SAID IN THE DARK
AND YOU KNOW IT’S ALWAYS THERE
WHEN IT’S DEAD IN YOUR HEART
BUT YOUR MIND IS UNAFRAID
WHEN IT’S SAID IN THE DARK
AND YOU KNOW IT’S NEVER COMIN BACK
WHEN IT’S THERE IN YOUR HEART
IN YOUR MIND YOU SET IT FREE

ARE WE WASTING OUR TIME AWAKE HERE
WE COULD BE SLEEPING
I’LL DISAPPEAR THEN MAYBE
WHEN YOU’RE HERE I KNOW
I COULD NEVER LOVE YOU
I ONLY DREAM OF YOU AFTER YOU ARE GONE
WE DON’T WORK THE WAY WE USED TO
YOUR FACE HAS CHANGED SINCE MORNING
SAY IT – I WANT TO HEAR SOME TRUTH
SAY IT, OH, SAY IT
WHEN YOU’RE HERE I KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE YOU
I ONLY DREAM OF YOU AFTER YOU ARE GONE

WHEN THE MINUTE GOES BY FASTER THAN THE FEET
WHEN THE WINTER PASSES SLOWLY AS DEFEAT
WHEN THE FACE OF DEATH IS AFTER ME SPINNING
ONLY DREAM OF ME ONLY DREAM OF ME
WHEN THE CHILDREN SPEAK OF SINNERS IN THE STREET
WHEN THE FEVER HITS THE CENTER OF OUR FEET
WHEN OUR PALMS ARE BURNT LIKE BALMY WINTER TREES
ONLY DREAM OF ME
ONLY DREAM OF ME

IT WAS THE WAY WE ALWAYS KNEW
THAT WE NEVER HAD THE CLUE
THAT WE NEVER HAD A CHANCE
LIKE THE OTHERS IN THE DANCE
LIKE BLACK DIAMONDS, ASH AND LIGHT
LIKE THE MINES AND ANTHRACITE
SPLIT-TONGUED FELLOWS, VENOM-SURVIVED
VIOLENCE ONLY AGAINST THE VILE
E’ER WE BLEED INTO THE WILD
THEN LAID TO REST THERE, MAN OR CHILD
THIS SHINING GUTTER IN THE SUN
IS IT WORTH IT IN THE RUN

I DIED WITH YOU
I WEAR YOUR CLOTHES
TO BE MORE LIKE YOU
YOUR EYES STILL SPARKLE
IN MY MIND
THOUGH YOU ARE GONE

BOYFRIEND, BE CAREFUL
CAUSE WOMEN ARE POISONOUS ANIMALS
BOYFRIEND, OH, BOYFRIEND
BE CAREFUL, IF YOU CAN
THERE’S GLORY COMING OUT
I CAN HEAR IT ON OUR MOUTHS
THERE IS A STRANDED HEART
SWIMMING ON CAREFUL AIR
BOYFRIEND, OH, BOYFRIEND
BE CAREFUL
CAUSE WOMEN ARE POISONOUS ANIMALS
BOYFRIEND, BE CAREFUL, IF YOU CAN
THERE’S GLORY COMING OUT
I CAN TASTE IT ON OUR MOUTHS
THERE IS A STRANGER’S HEART
BEATING IN-SIDE MY CHEST
YOU CALL THIS PASSION
BUT I CALL IT A CANCER

BOYFRIEND, BE CAREFUL
CAUSE WOMEN ARE POISONOUS ANIMALS
BOYFRIEND, OH, BOYFRIEND
BE CAREFUL, IF YOU CAN
THERE’S GLORY COMING OUT
I CAN HEAR IT ON OUR MOUTHS
THERE IS A STRANDED HEART
SWIMMING ON CAREFUL AIR
BOYFRIEND, OH, BOYFRIEND
BE CAREFUL
CAUSE WOMEN ARE POISONOUS ANIMALS
BOYFRIEND, BE CAREFUL, IF YOU CAN
THERE’S GLORY COMING OUT
I CAN TASTE IT ON OUR MOUTHS
THERE IS A STRANGER’S HEART
BEATING IN-SIDE MY CHEST
YOU CALL THIS PASSION
BUT I CALL IT A CANCER

MY BED IS SO COLD
WITHOUT YOU IN IT
TELL ME SOMETHING
SO I CAN GO TO SLEE

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING YOU SAID INTO MY HEAD RIGHT BEFORE YOU DIED
IT WAS THE WEEKEND IT WAS NOVEMBER I HAD A STRANGE DREAM IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY
HEARD ABOUT IT FROM A NEIGHBOR
IT WAS THE WEEKEND
IT WAS NOVEMBER
I HAD A STRANGE DREAM
IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY
I HEARD ABOUT IT
FROM A NEIGHBOR
YOU HAD A BAD TRIP
YOU CRAWLED RIGHT DOWN THE HALL
YOU TOOK YOUR FINGERS
YOU FOUND THE CUPBOARD
YOU TWISTED OFF THE CAPS
OF EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE
IT’S LIKE A WATERFALL
IT’S LIKE A LASER
IT’S LIKE A MIRACLE
IT’S A SHARP RAZOR
IT WAS A THURSDAY
I RAN RIGHT OVER
YOU WERE LAYIN THERE
TWISTED AT THE KNEES
I REMEMBER EVERYTHING YOU SAID
I REMEMBER EVERYTHING YOU SAID

HOLLOW COURTSHIP, RUN-ON, POINTLESS//FAINT DREAMS,
CREEPING, ENDLESS//TIMELESS, WASTED,
FUCKING JADED// DESTROY-DEMAND, ENDING CRAVING,
SEETHING, TEETHING, WAR, WAR//HANDS WAVING,
HANDS BLEEDING//HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF//
CITIES, COUNTRIES, CHILDREN HUNTING//WORN, WEARING DOWN, DOWN//
HEAR, SPEAK, BREATHE EAT, CRAVE, POUR, DRINK, NEED//WAKE NEVER FULLY EVER//
SHIVER, SHAKE//LA MER-HAUNTED SEXUALITY, CURVES, ANGLES,
CHARCOAL TO PAPER//MEMORY, HISTORY, CAPSIZE, EXPLAIN,
EXPRESS, STOMACH – TAKE IT OUT OUT OUT OUT//HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF

IT’S A MACHINE WE’RE UP AGAINST- DEVOID OF REASON, DEVOID OF SENSE
IT’S A SYSTEM FULL OF REGRETS
WE WEAR IT ON OUR SHOULDERS BECAUSE SOMEDAY WE’LL WIN
WE COULD BE TWO STRAIGHT LINES IN A CROOKED WORLD
WE COULD BE TWO STRAIGHT LINES IN A CROOKED WORLD THEY’VE CREATED

SID GET OUT OF THE WAY, SID YOUR LOVE IS A PAIN,
SAID MY LOVE IS AN EMPIRE, SAID GET OUT OF THE WAY
DEMONS, DEMONS, DEMONS, DEMONS
SID GET OUT OF THE WAY, SAID YOUR LOVE IS A WASTE,
SAID NO ONE IF I CAN’T HAVE HER, SAID NO ONE – HE’S A FAKE
SID GET OUT OF THE WAY, SID YOUR LOVE IS A PAIN,
SAID MY LOVE IS AN EMPIRE, SID GET OUT OF THE WAY
DEMONS, DEMONS, DEMONS, DEMONS

DON’T YOU EVER CROSS THAT BRIDGE IN YOUR MIND AGAIN
(IT’S LIKE A MOVIE SCREEN)

IT’S GONNA BE A WASTELAND, IT’S GONNA BE A DARK AND NARROW ROAD
IT’S GONNA BE A FIRE, IT’S GONNA BE A HEAT YOU’VE NEVER KNOWN
IT’S GONNA BE A WASTELAND, IT’S GONNA BE A GRAY, GRAY DAWN
GRAY LIKE THE WINTER, A THOUSAND YEARS, LOST AND GONE
KEEPING TIME WITH THE CLICKING OF YOUR TONGUE AGAINST YOUR TEETH
SPELLING WORDS YOU USED TO KNOW TO MEAN SUCH THINGS
KEEPING TIME WITH YOUR TWITCHING FINGERS WORN FROM THE DISEASE
LIKE HUMANITY, A CANCER – WE NEVER SOW MORE THAN WE REAP
AND THE EARTH, THAT OLD MAN
SHRUGGING US OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS
IF YOU COULD HEAR WHAT I HEAR
THE WHOLE WORLD MOVING AT THE SAME TIME
KEEPING TIME WITH THE CLICKING OF YOUR TONGUE AGAINST YOUR TEETH
SPELLING WORDS YOU USED TO KNOW TO MEAN SUCH THINGS
LIKE L-O-V-E

MOSES CAN YOU CARRY HEAVY CAUSE I CAN’T TAKE IT
CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER MOSES CAN YOU HELP

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK HOME WHEN I STUMBLED UPON A FOREST OF PUREST GREEN
I COULDN’T LOOK AWAY
THERE WAS A SHINING LIGHT SO BRIGHT I COULDN’T LOOK AWAY
I COULDN’T LOOK AWAY
IT’S FREIDRICH’S LITTLE FOREST
HE’S WAITING THERE FOR US TO GROW
THERE WAS A DOOR TO SOMETHING SO PURE
A SPARK WAS THERE WAITING FOR SOMEONE
LIKE ME -SOMEONE SO FAR FROM HOME
I FOUND A WINDOW, WATER LIKE CRYSTAL
THE CLEAREST THING I’VE SEEN
I COULDN’T LOOK AWAY
IN FREIDRICHS LITTLE FOREST
HE’S WAITING THERE FOR US TO GROW
IN FREIDRICH’S LITTLE FOREST
HE’S WAITING THERE FOR US TO COME

WHEN THE LIGHT
IN YOUR EYES
GOES OUT
FOR THE LAST TIME
WHEN YOUR BODY
IS SWOLLEN WITH BLOOD
AND OCEAN FLOOR
IS SWOLLEN WITH SUN
WHEN YOUR HANDS
ARE TIED
LIKE
PALE ON PALE
AND MIND ON MIND
WHEN THE LIGHT
IN YOUR EYES
GOES OUT
FOR THE LAST TIME
AND
WHEN YOUR MIND IS OPEN

Instrumental

WHAT’S THE USE IN WASTING TIME
WHEN WE’VE FINALLY FOUND A HOME
EVERYBODY’S FEELING FINE
WHAT’S THE USE IN WASTING TIME
CAUSE I NEVER LISTEN TO MY OWN BEST ADVICE,
LIKE ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER
LIKE ONE HEART BLEEDS FOR ANOTHER
AND EVERYBODY WANTS WHAT THEY CAN’T HAVE
YOU TOLD ME YOUR BEST ADVICE
YOU SAID STOP AND LET IT DIE
YOU TOLD ME YOUR BEST ADVICE
DON’T YOU WASTE IT ALL AT ONCE

COUSINS OF THE ANTICHRIST ARE HIDING EVERYWHERE
WATCHING AS WE LET OUR GUARD DOWN SMILING AS WE EAT THEIR LIES
COUSINS OF THE ANTICHRIST WE’RE FEEDING THEIR WAYS
LIGHT EYES AND DARK MINDS AND FEEL NOTHING
(ALL WENT DOWN
A LONG WAY
FOUND THERE LOVE
ALL IN VAIN
ALL WENT DOWN
ALL INSANE
FOUND THERE LOVE
ALL IN VAIN)
COUSINS OF THE ANTICHRIST DON’T LOOK ME IN THE EYE
DIRTY MIND AND CROOKED SPINE BUT HEART IS PURE, HEART IS THE LORDS
(ALL WENT DOWN
A LONG WAY
FOUND THERE LOVE
ALL IN VAIN
ALL WENT DOWN
ALL INSANE
FOUND THERE LOVE
ALL IN VAIN)

MOSES CAN YOU CARRY HEAVY CAUSE I CAN’T TAKE IT

I WAS NOT LYING WHEN I SAID I WOULD TRY
I WAS NOT LYING WHEN I SAID I WOULD LET YOU DOWN
I TURNED MY BACK ON MYSELF
I DON’T WANT TO HURT ANYONE ELSE

INBORN AND I HOLD IT ACHES
TAKE IT, KISS IT, FIX IT
PUT YOUR FINGERS IN MY MOUTH
BABY I KNOW ONLY YOU CAN
YOUR WORDS KILL ME IN THE BEST WAY
YOU MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD DISAPPEAR
ONLY WITH YOU
YOU MAKE ME CRAZY
YOUR WORDS KILL ME INSIDE AND
BABY I KNOW ONLY YOU CAN

WHY DOES EVERYTHING GOTTA BE SO FUCKING COMPLICATED
YOU SAY YOUR LIFE IS WILD AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE FINE
YOU SAY YOUR LIFE IS WILD AND I WONDER WHAT THAT’S LIKE I THINK IT WOULD BE FUN, IT WOULD BE SO FUN
BECAUSE WHEN I GET UP TO LEAVE I HOPE YOU’LL COME AFTER ME BUT YOU DON’T
SO WHEN I GET UP TO LEAVE BUT ONLY ME FOR ME I THINK I KNOW
WHY DOES EVERYTHING GOTTA BE SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL FOR EVERYONE BUT ME
I CAN’T MAKE NO SENSE, I CAN’T MAKE NO SENSE, I CAN’T MAKE NO SENSE, I CAN’T MAKE NO SENSE FOR ME
WHY DOES EVERYTHING GOTTA BE SO FUCKING PERFECT FOR EVERYONE BUT ME
I SWEAR TO GOD I’M A SPIDER IN A JAR SOMEONE’S SHAKING IT THEN WATCHING ME CRAWL FAST THEN SLOW BUT NEVER REALLY GETTING FAR
I’M ALL ALONE CAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO SING ABOUT DEATH WITH ME
YOU PRONOUNCE YOURSELF A GOD THEN YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON YOU GOTTA TELL ME
CAUSE THERE’S NO LIGHT, NO THERE’S NO LIGHT, NO THERE’S NO LIGHT AT THE END OF MY TUNNEL

I WAS YOUNG
I WAS SCARED
I WAS SO HIGH I DIDN’T CARE
MIND WAS LOOSE
MIND WAS DEAD
MIND WAS JADED LIKE QUARTER-FED
I WAS A BOY
I WAS WHORE
I WOULD TAKE IN ANYTHING YOU’D GIVE
ONLY CARED
ABOUT MYSELF
FUCK YOU AND YOUR EGO
GET OUT OF MY BRAIN..
IT WAS A WAR
IT WAS OBSCENE
IT WAS THE WORST THAT I HAD BEEN
IT WAS A BAG OF CHOCOLATE COINS
IT WASN’T WATER
IT WASN’T FREE
IT WAS THE WORST THAT I HAD BEEN
IT WAS THE DEATH OF SOME KIND OF SCENE

ALL THE PARTS OF ME THAT LIVED INSIDE
ARE DROWNING IN THE SEA OF WAKING LIFE
THEY DON’T KNOW THEIR COLORS DON’T BELONG ON THE OUTSIDE
THEY DON’T KNOW THEIR COLORS DON’T BELONG
UNTIL THEY’RE SPREAD ACROSS THE OPEN ROAD
TIL THEY’RE SPREAD ACROSS THE ASPHALT ON THE OPEN ROAD
TIL THEY’RE STREAMING IN THE WIND LIKE CASSETTE TAPE OR JELLYFISH
LONG DARK VEINS AND RECORDS PLAYING MEMORIES
ALL THE THINGS WE YELLED DON’T MEAN A THING
WHEN WE’RE SPINNING OUT ON DARK AND METAL WIND
WHEN WE’RE FLYING LIKE BLUE MARY’S ANGELS THROUGH SHATTERED GLASS
WHEN WE FIND THE TALL BLACK SHADOW WAITING THERE WITH OUTSTRETCHED HANDS
HE HAS GIVEN ME A DRESS OF RED AND YOU A SKIN OF GRAY
WE’LL BE TWISTING HERE FOR HOURS TIL THE LIGHT WILL GIVE US DAY
WE’RE SPREAD ACROSS THE OPEN ROAD
AND WE’RE SPREAD ACROSS THE ASPHALT ON THE OPEN ROAD
AND WE’RE STREAMING IN THE WIND LIKE CASSETTE TAPE OR JELLYFISH
LONG DARK VEINS AND RECORDS PLAYING MEMORIES

I SAW THE WIDOW IN THE WINDOW WAVING DOWN AT ME, HEAL YOUR BONES
I SAW THE BIRD CIRCLING ABOVE ME, HEAL YOUR BONES
I HAD A VISION OF THIS BUT SO PAINLESS, HEAL YOUR BONES
I OPENED THE BOOK TO YOUR BIRTH-PAGE AND IT SAID, HEAL YOUR BONES
I SAW I SAW
HEAL YOUR BONES, HEAL YOUR BONES

MOSES CAN YOU CARRY HEAVY CAUSE I CAN’T TAKE IT
CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER MOSES CAN YOU HELP
ME CARRY THE BURDEN MOSES LIFT MY ARMS CAUSE I CAN’T
HOLD ON AND CARRY ALL THE WEIGHT CAN YOU GUIDE ME
CAUSE YOU’RE SO STRONG CAUSE I CAN’T SEE NOTHIN AT ALL
CAUSE MY EYES ARE BURNING LIKE THE SUN BURNING LIKE THE
SUN BURNING LIKE THE SUN MOSES MOSES CAN YOU GUIDE ME
O TEACHER SHOW ME THE WAY WE’LL MAKE IT HOLD ON MOSES
CAN YOU GUIDE ME CAUSE YOU’RE SO STRONG
CAUSE I CAN’T SEE NOTHIN AT ALL
CAUSE MY EYES ARE BURNING LIKE THE SUN
BURNING LIKE THE SUN BURNING LIKE THE SUN

OH, LOVER MINE
KEEPS ME WARM
KEEPS ME ALIVE

FLOWERS OF LIGHT
BEHIND MY EYES
EVIL IN THE NIGHT

RISE, MORNING STAR
TO THE UNDERWORLD
ACROSS THE SKY

FLOWERS OF LIGHT
BEHIND MY EYES
EVIL IN THE NIGHT
TO KEEP ME HIGH

POWER – I’M SO TIRED
CAN’T TAKE THIS FIGHT
REST MY FRIEND – WE’RE GONNA MAKE THIS RIGHT

TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE
TAKE ME DOWN WITH YOU
TAKE IT ALL AWAY
I KNOW IT ALL COMES BACK TIMES THREE
THAT HUMAN, THAT DEMON, SHOWED ME
HOW IT ENDS WHEN YOU TREAT YOUR FRIENDS LIKE FOES
SO DON’T COME LOOKING FOR ME
I’VE GOT MY WALLS UP NOW
PROTECT MYSELF LIKE A FORTRESS
AND I’M ON MY OWN NOW

V2 (EMMA)
NO I CAN’T SLEEP BABY
AND WAKING UP IS JUST A DREAM
MY SADNESS HAS LOST ITS CAUSE
AND I’M SUFFOCATING
SO DON’T COME LOOKING FOR ME
I’VE GOT NO JOY TO LEND
PROTECT MYSELF LIKE A FORTRESS
ISOLATING, BRIDGE WITHDRAWING
ISOLATED, I CAN’T TAKE IT

CHORUS 2 (EMMA & CHELSEA)
ANHEDONIA
ANHEDONIA
I’LL BE YOUR SILENT WITNESS
I’LL BE YOUR BORDER LINE
I’LL KEEP YOU SAFE AND SACRED
JUST KEEP YOUR HEART CLOSE TO MINE
ANHEDONIA
ANHEDONIA
ANHEDONIA
ANHEDONIA

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DREAM IS BETTER THAN THE WAKING
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DON’T DREAD OUR OWN BODY BREAKING

FROM OUR BED WE CAN SEE THE DARK CLOUDS START TO SEETH RIGHT ABOVE US
AND MY STARE IS HARD AND MY GRIP ON THE KNIFE TIGHTENS

HOLY, HOLY

LETHE, THE ONLY ONE FROM WHICH WE DRINK THE WATER
HELP US FORGET WHEN WE DRINK AND FEEL THE STRENGTH OF THE MOMENT

WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE SUCH VESSELS OF PHYSICAL FORM
MAY OUR BODIES COME TO KNOW THE TRUE FILLINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF FIRE

HOLY, HOLY

YOU DOUBT AND YOU’RE DESPERATE YOU WEAR BOTH YOUR CROSS AND YOUR HAMMER
SUCH BEAUTIFUL DREAMS OF VIOLENCE IN THEM YOUR TONGUE IS MADE OF SILVER

BUT WE DON’T FIGHT LIKE ANIMALS WE FIGHT AS MEN
NO WE DON’T FIGHT LIKE MEN – WE FIGHT LIKE GODS

HOLY, HOLY

WE DON’T FIGHT LIKE ANIMALS WE FIGHT AS MEN
NO WE DON’T FIGHT LIKE MEN – WE FIGHT LIKE GODS
