Shadows Part 1
02:31
|
|
||
When the green hit the sky
And the ground ran it wild
I was standing on my own
Once again, just me
Like when the wind blows
And the cobwebs finally leave
It's only time until
Someone walks by, again

Charade
03:18
|
|
||
Now here comes the relapse
The sinking back down
To the place you know all too well
(chorus)
What you got to loose?
The clarity was left far behind
You're just a shell
Charade you really are
It has to be now or never
The ally between narrows
And your eyes, they open wide
(chorus)

Walk With Me
05:08

This is the last of us
You know, I never want to make a fuss
The days linger on
The hours play my song
I place my final bet
You, you never forget
And now, I know
I'm still here
And this is not quite yet
I walk the same line
And again, and again
But this is not quite yet
I walk the same line
And again, and again
I walk the line
And the line walks with me
Into the sun
And all of God's children
Walk with me
I walk the line
And the line walks with me
Walk with me...

23

The ghost of the single ice cube
Lingers in the bottom of your glass
As the eyes on the monkey's shoulder
Seduce you last erection to burst
And you think you've got gold
Well it's in the pig's sty
(chorus)
And the shadows of demons and lovers
Hang the noose round your worn out neck
It's another possible moment of pleasure
That disappears down the old dark road
Just you, you're on your own
And you think they'll hear
When you scream to nothing?
But someone too long in the tooth
To give a shit about some other fucked up old hag
Passed a sell by date at only 23
(chorus)

The Lakes

The old black dog
Looked at the door
The key in the latch
The fire in the stove
The tear stained eye
Cracked the glass
Another week is done
(chorus)
And who cares what it's about?
As long as someone goes
Enjoy a show
Keep flicking, you never know
The old black dog
Shuffled to the left
Closed his eyes
Fell black to sleep
Right at the front
Of your fragile heart
And you bark the same old song
(chorus)

The Lie
03:22
|
|
||
When it all started
The landscape was alien
As any strange new world
But when I see your smile
It's as homeward
As the warmth of you arms
(Chorus)
The punch of the synth
Flows over the broken chords
Of the last ache of my heart
At the whisper of your name
And it's tearing me apart
But as I walk on the broken shells
Of long forgotten loves
I think of all the times
The lie of love
Really meant something to me
But whatever, who gives a shit anyway?
(chorus)

Surrounded By Glass
04:33
|
|
||
And I said
Wait, don't get ahead of yourself
Just wait and see
What's coming for you
(chorus)
It was all out now
Every single time they said
I've got a thing on you
And it's surrounded by glass
It's all I've ever said
It's all I've wanted to say
And every single day
Whenever I wanted to walk
(chorus)

Fur
07:11
|
|
||
Just when I thought
The last words had left
It hit me like a photograph
On the mantle showing an old day
Making me fear
Making me care
(chorus)
You slip away
Into the fog
Not quite where the tigers were
But still far
And I'm letting go so gently now
I wait for days and days
For this love of yours to come home again
To make me feel
To make me care
(chorus)
To make me feel
To make me care
(chorus)

Shadows Part 2
00:58
|
|
||
I walk a narrow line
It runs between loss
And the reaction to love
And it's just beginning
The luck is spilling
Out over the water
And I know, I could be king
And I know, I could be king
