1. STIGMATA
When I was down, you were up
never feeling the pain at all
When you were down, you kept shut
all the doors that made you small
Held your hand
thinking I was quite the man
to feed your soul
I couldn't see you running empty
I was digging in your sores
scarred myself inside the source
The wounds appearing with the tries
Made me feel like Jesus Christ
Some of the fears we made leave
left me thinking you heard my call
Somehow that made me believe
all the bricks in your wall would fall
Gave myself
a place upon the highest shelf
and for that sin
I'll always be condemned within
I was digging in your sores
scarred myself inside the source
The wounds appearing with the tries
Made me feel like Jesus Christ
now I pay the price
2. EXIT MOULD
Once again surrounded by moving walls
vacating the innermost of human halls
Searching, I'm heading for the light
Walking closer without fright
Whats that?
A tricle, a shiver down her spine
Erase memory
be divine
Why do you remain silent
brother?
Why don't you speak your mind
sister?
Why walk the path of shoulders cold?
Exit mould
I'm here again, among trees and green meadows
and people in countless rows
Searching, I tread the paths in need of light
embracing everyone in sight
Whats this?
A story of feasts and wine?
Erase memory
be divine
Why do you remain silent
brother?
Why don't you speak your mind
sister?
Why walk the path of shoulders cold?
Exit mould
3. URBAN WALLS / ORPHAN HEART
Wait for me
don't walk away on hasty feet
listen to me
before you go on down this street
Angry one
the neon lights are red tonight
Father's son
turning love into a fight
The mist of this city fogs your mind
you appear like the man you left behind
It's just a small crack in our trend
nothing's really broken, friend
Come with me
I hold the key to this garden
Let me be
the one to beg your pardon
Lonely one
trusting me can't be that hard
When I'm gone
I'll be a flower in your yard
The mist of this city fogs your mind
you appear like the man you left behind
It's just a small crack in our trend
nothing's really broken, friend
4. NINE-EIGHT
Big screen
Wide promises
not worth keeping
Would you even think of how I felt
In the dark
your hand in mine
not worth the weeping
Your hand on my chest
That big old ship sinking
like you and I
Let's call it over
let's call it over now
let's call it over
Walking home
your biggest show
not worth a night sleeping
Our arms entwined in life
That big old ship sinking
like you and I
5. SPIRAL
The hour of souls is the night by your side
the whisper of angels, your breath
I sleep behind the moon
with your slender hand in mine
The ceiling is gone
above me spins the spiral shaft
spinning round and round
above me spins the spiral shaft
The first day of spring is the light in your eyes
the core of the fire, your voice
I walk on the surface of the sun
with your slender hand in mine
The ceiling is gone
above me spins the spiral shaft
spinning round and round
above me spins the spiral shaft
6. REVELATION
No one had taken notice of her smile
No one had spotted her tears
No one had deemed her good or vile
No one had calmed her fears
But she brought me a golden heart
on a velvet chain
You know we'll never be apart
or experience pain
She whispered
Never be apart
Never going back to the start
Experience pain
never again
No one had taken notice of my smile
No one had spotted my tears
No one had deemed me good or vile
No one had calmed my fears
But her blood lives inside me
in every vain
She shows me what I can not see
keeps me sane
She whispered
Never be apart
Never going back to the start
Experience pain
never again
7. A PERSPECTIVE ON CERTAIN MATTERS ACCORDING TO X
Mr. man on the moon
do you own a fishing pole
I would surely take your bait
into my mouth
and feel you tugging at me
just maybe I would try to escape or tease you for a while
then I would let my self go
fly into your basket
Now the world is spinning faster than the wheel in my head
think I heard a new disaster in the things that you said
I could see them in the window, I could see they were three
my reflection in the mirror said
No, I am just me
So, little lady of the lake
do you own a pretty pipe
I would gladly light it for you
and taste your sweet tobacco
feel it fill me with calm bubbles
maybe we would have to hold our heads above the water
or the stinging soap
would get in our eyes
Now the world is spinning faster than the wheel in my head
think I heard a new disaster in the things that you said
I could see them in the window, I could see they were three
my reflection in the mirror said
No, I am just me
8. THE PALE SUIT OF DRUNKENNESS
Got that feeling of standing still
the shudder of winters coming chill
Got that distance in my eyes
frozen paintings of all my alibies
And I've got the urge to leave this room
but it has become my home
In this dark and familiar gloom
my features are turning to stone
Slowly
holy
intoxicating love
takes hold of me
while I survive another one
Got those pale trousers warming my will
they keep me from standing to still
Got that pale jacket clinging to me
I just know that I'll never be free
And I've got the urge to undress myself
but I dare not show my skin
Cause this damp and familiar gloom
has become what I am within
Slowly
holy
intoxicating love
takes hold of me
while I survive another one
9. MR. TRENCHCOAT
Hey mister trenchcoat
what gray weather were having
Hey mister sad thought
I sometimes wonder were youre going
Hey mister trenchcoat
what illusions do you carry
Hey mister un-bought
is this truly necessary
Cause you're always out when the rain is pouring from the sky
your garments hanging down from shoulders pulled up high
And you always seem to know exactly where youre going to
as if here among the shadows there is always work for you to do
Hey mister trenchcoat
yes we have met
Hey mister trenchcoat
I know you're really Mr. Death
You hide from us
turn your face away
I think you don't want us to see you
but you know that I do
Cause you're always out when the rain is pouring from the sky
your garments hanging down from shoulders pulled up high
And you always seem to know exactly where youre going to
as if here among the shadows there is always work for you to do
10. THESE OLD RAGS
Smoother surface than before
eyes set to a different shore
But what of that which lives within this face
Sweeter scent than before
renewed temptation, open door
But what of that which stirs inside this body
My colours have faded to gray
I know
Inside I feel the same
You've left to see a fresher show
To burn another flame
Warmer weather than before
storming fire now in store
But what of the lightning we made
My colours have faded to gray
I know
Inside I feel the same
You've left to see a fresher show
11. HOLY SUMMER
Would you like to be
on the moon with a spoon?
I don't care how
I just want you to tell me something new and terrible
Isn't he beautiful
You can drive me in your car
It won't matter where we go
This habit for my rose
This habit for my rose
I lost my radio phone
Mr. Rainout
Electric toys for you
Funeral so good
How?
Isn't he beautiful
Well, I dig my own dinner in a fancy restaurant
This car by the sea
I don't have so much to give
I'm going to wear my clothes
I'm going to wear my clothes
Mr. Rainout
Would you like to be
on the moon with a spoon?
12. MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Son, it's never as it seems
the flowing of the silver streams
Where people laugh and smile and say
no day is as beautiful as today
I wear the mask of perfection
whenever their heads turn my way
Clutched in the embrace of rejection
in a room where I must stay
In hiding
It's where I keep my dreams alive
residing
It's the only place where I can survive
Even my mother never knew
that the face she saw was never true
In my room there lives no friend
for whom I must pretend
My gleaming mask upon inspection
is where a hundred diamonds lay
and no one sees the true reflection
where every stone is grey
In hiding
It's where I keep my dreams alive
subsiding
to my place in their hive ...
