you
03:15
|
|||
|
love the sin
take it in
see the stars
how they shine for us
you are not you
after you step out of the attic
your eyes they lie
fixing your gaze away from the truth
when you make
love to me
it's like i am frozen suddenly
you drift off
so far and i cannot reach
you seem to float out of your cold body
you start to look like someone else
a ghost of the man who died in that secret place
where the love of your life and the child deep inside
disappeared without a trace
smoke gets in your eyes
it plays while we dance into our graves
what right do i have to claim you for myself
when you've been dead all along
so let's just sway to this song

letter
03:12
|
|||
|
i have a letter
i haven't sent it
you haven't read it yet
but
it seems to me you know it
word for word
sentence by sentence
was it a lucky guess
or
do you want to scare me
into revealing every secret
every terror, every regret
open the gates
open the door
show me some mercy
i have a message
i just sent it
you're probably reading it
and
it seems to me you'll see through
the falseness
the fakeness of my plea
and as expected
you respond like a terrorist
you respond like a cunt to rent
open the gates
open the door
show me the exit

frenchman in canada
03:35
|
|||
|
7 months
and a half
doing drugs
having a laugh
he's a frenchman
in canada
barely know you
flew a long distance
looking for new friends
found modern romance
then got fired again
now you're lost in the wild
talking to strangers
looking for some danger
he's a frenchman
in canada
barely know you
take a sip
from your drink
close your eyes
and just dream
about the places
you have been
as a kid
in burgundy
he's a frenchman
in canada
barely know you

the death of me
03:41
|
|||
|
you found me lost and delirious
you happen to be fast and furious
always believed you'll
be the death of me
bend me into shape
bind me with some tape
break me until i feel
shake me until i'm real
i don't mind the abuse
as long as you find some use
for my worthless limbs
i want to die, it seems
kick me when i'm down
you've taken me for a clown
i don't need you to be so kind
not like that's a problem of mine
just cut me down to size
and tell me some awful lies
cast a spell on me or two
don't let me ever forget you
remind me of the awful times
perform the higher crimes
then crush me under your stare
like i'm more than you can bear
bend me into shape
bind me with some tape
break me until i feel
shake me until i'm real
bend me into shape
bind me with some tape
break me until i feel
shake me until i'm real

half remembered
03:12
|
|||
|
half remembered
i can only think back
so often
only remind myself of so much
then all the memories start
to fall away
with the noises
and words which came pouring in
this used to be easier
this used to be second nature
i'm getting older
and you're so much farther
this used to be easier
this used to be second nature
i'm getting older
and you're so much farther
half remembered
please try
to kill me with a whisper
and demolish me with kindness
i'll still only find the crack in it
never the time we met
never the times we kissed
just the moment it ended
this used to be easier
this used to be second nature
i'm getting older
and you're so much farther
this used to be easier
this used to be second nature
i'm getting older
and you're so much farther
this used to be easier
this used to be second nature
i'm getting older
and you're so much farther
this used to be easier
this used to be second nature
i'm getting older
and you're so much farther

promise me
02:59
|
|||
|
here's another heart to break
here's another month to wait
for your body to feel the ache
for your sorry to be so late
oh when you know for sure
will you promise you'll tell me the truth
oh when you know for sure
will you promise you'll tell me the
here's the day you'll see the fame
and the minute you're ashamed
here's the last thing in your mind
before you commit your last crime
oh when you know for sure
will you promise you'll tell me the truth
oh when you know for sure
will you promise you'll tell me the truth

easy come, easy go
he opens the door
and you're home
he steps into our room
then looks at you
from head to toe
you should know to run away
you should know to run away
you should know to run away
you should know to run away
there's a hole up on the roof
you can see the sky is clear
it will take a wing or two
for you to fly and leave me here
i will keep a watch for you
my ears against the metal walls
i will state if he's near
just be quick before he calls
you should know to run away
you should know to run away
you should know to run away
you should know to run away

the dirt you are
03:22
|
|||
|
it feels like a battle
but you say it's a war
just waiting for a green light
memorizing the many times
i was your personal fool
and you were always a tool
but i never lost my cool
now i'm ready to flush you down
wash you away like the dirt you are
you always said i didn't make sense
but i didn't know you were really that dense
you burned like a frenzy
you tripped like a trap
i thought i made you crazy
but i was just a feather in your cap
now i'm ready to flush you down
wash you away like the dirt you are

shallow lust
03:03
|
|||
|
Flashlights in the sky
tornados left us dry
It's just a shallow lust
in a city filled with dust
we don't have anyone we can trust
we're hanging by a thread
we might as well be dead
we're hanging by a rope
sewn to a star about to explode
We might as well just lie
just evaporate
we might as well just die
commemorate
It's just a shallow lust
in a city filled with dust
we don't have anyone we can trust

neon lights
03:24
|
|||
|
the walls
they're caving in
the bar is burning neon lights
a sign tellis me no reservations
no one's coming home with you
there's nothing to say
it's all true
you've heard it all before
you've seen it
you wanna see it once more
and the faces multiply by night
at the end, you put up a fight
or you pretend to be right
though you know it's a lost cause
the search has been called off
no more

burial rites
02:26
|

|
tell me how i'm supposed to get over this
when i can't even say your name
it's you
who used to tell me what's true
to tell me what's wrong
with this picture
i'm afraid
they ask afraid of what
i'm scared
scared of an awful lot
i need you
can you tell me i love you
and hold my hand and choose
let me feel your presence here
even if you're gone
i can just close my eyes
and play pretend my love
if that's what you want
as long as you come back

absent on new year's eve
02:57
|
|||
|
consider me
consider me gone
i signed my name
but it doesn't mean a thing
i will be absent on new year's eve
i will watch fireworks in the balcony
i will be absent on new year's eve
i will hear the gunshots hit the seas
consider me
consider me gone
i promised you
i'll be with you by your side
but there are times
in your life
when words are broken and they die
i will be absent on new year's eve
i will watch fireworks in the balcony
i will be absent on new year's eve
i will hear the gunshots hit the seas

battlezone
04:04
|

|
seeing the wish come true
behind the crashing waves
turning the view askew
shaking the picture frame
falling down
burning up
this idea of you
gone like the shore
tidal wave revealing the ocean floor
sweeping casualties of a war of hearts
the children wondering how things have been so far
friendly words they won't understand
until they're in the battlezone
knowing what has been
realizing what is now gone
searing pain in my wrist
from the time you held me down
climbing the walls around you
built from panic and pain
from the time you abandoned me
from the moment you threw the blame
falling down
burning up
this idea of you
gone like the shore
tidal wave revealing the ocean floor
sweeping casualties of a war of hearts
the children wondering how things have been so far
friendly words they won't understand
until they're in the battlezone

ruin my day
02:17
|
|||
|
why don't you change the channel
i know you've been waiting for an excuse
to ruin my day
it's time to go to bed anyway
it's not like i'm gonna stay with you for much longer
planning my escape as i speak
why don't you do the same
this is a sinking ship
and i'm not gonna sink with it
feel afraid
feel very afraid
once i'm gone
you're left to your own devices
can't ruin my day
and soon it's time to go to bed anyway
can't ruin my day
and soon it's time to go to bed anyway
can't ruin my day
and soon it's time to go to bed anyway
