1. SNOWMAN

The fog leaves a distant trauma
You feel the ground roar
When it all goes to hell

They say no freedom lies when they say
You love too much
So you pack your only suitcase
And burn by her touch

Go
Before I go
I'll tell you all my secrets

They say its past the deadline
They say they've lost control
They let you see their nightmares
Through eyes of coal

Guilt is your own anger
You who did not win
Dream a dream of somewhere
As the rope is wearing thin

Go
Before I go
I'll tell you all my secrets

It's going to hurt to leave her
It's going to hurt to leave her
It's going to hurt

It's going to hurt to leave this
It's going to hurt to leave this
It's going to hurt


2. PUT IT ON THE AIR

Can we train our mice to spin the big wheels
Polish swords and beat their wives
Scare them to death on their ship of fools
Every day of their lives

Be the sum of all their fears
In this ever changing maze
Let them count teeth through
Our electric cage

Can we train our dogs to bite reality
Eat the world when they smell its fear
Create a dimension of make believe
And put it on the air

Can we kill their tired years
Keep them staring at this flame
To feed our jukebox God
When we're out of change

Suspended in emergency silence
Her heart pounding not to give up on his life
Waiting in Trauma for her baby brother
A random pattern
Buzzards circling a lie
Are you afraid to live it all again?

Can we train our minds to spin their big wheels
Polish swords and beat our wives
Be angry and cold can we do it at all
Every day of our lives

When this lap dance comes too near
With its dirty little game
Now we've seen her tears
Can we buy her shame?

Suspected he's in fingerprint silence
The man at the door said he put up a fight
This key is electric and the cage is murder
You know we've been through this a million times
And go on believing everything is all right

Survival in this grief stricken violence
Where hatred is a sanctuary and love is a cause
Wailing your innocence as the guilty cry louder
You're turning a blind eye though you know it's not right

It's not right

Can we place the guilt of our disasters
On cosmic signs in suns and moons?
When the dots are connected will it ease their minds
Our horoscopes don't lose


3. SOUVENIR

Time draws it's lines with frantic pace
Lines in her palm and in her face
Map the cuts in marble dreaming
The choice in staying hurt or leaving

Collect new memories
Trust in what you feel
Time will draw its lines with frantic pace
Map the cuts that heal
Map the cuts that bleed

Time draws its lines with frantic pace
Feel it flowing through your veins
Fly away or escape within
The walls are paper thin

Collect new memories
Trust in what is real
Time will draw its lines with frantic pace
Map the cuts that heal
Map the cuts that bleed

In darkness you will need a light
An empty stage to ease your flight
I know she said it died that day
Nothing really left to say

Collect new memories
Trust in what you need
Time will draw its lines with frantic pace
Map the cuts that heal
Map the cuts that bleed

Collect new memories
Time is what you need
Watch it drawing lines with frantic pace
Map what you believe
Map the cuts that heal


4. STEAL YOURSELF

Saturday night don't know what date or time
It takes some getting used to
So leave your world and all behind
And everything that you choose

Steal yourself
Some fools gold
I'm fuelled by you and your design
Steal yourself some control
I take from you a tired casual high

He was found face down in a living room
Still clutching on to their ashes
Fistful of sand in a cold monsoon
Its tunnel vision on acid

Steal yourself
some fools gold
Im fuelled by you and your design
Steal yourself some control
I take from you a tired casual high

But theres a silent fugitive
Comes to you in your dreams
You say theres nothing wrong and that you'll live forever

Steal yourself
some fools gold
Im fuelled by you and your design
Steal yourself some control
I take from you a tired casual high


5. 117

It's getting late for time
This flight must be remembered
Let this cracked cocoon baptize
The stars
Frozen at birth
On earth
No casual affair
And I can not see
If it's me
Nothing but horizon
In an ever shrinking bed she waited
In warm wonder
Trail the hungry water
In warm wonder

I was going numb
In velvet on the seabed
Slightly more than ninety-nine degrees release me
Silence invaded
You can not see me
In warm wonder
Trail the hungry water
In warm wonder
Sail the hungry water
In warm wonder

She'll try to sleep
Brush back her hair
She'll dry her eyes
But no one is ever really there
In her distress see through her skin
The bitter state we're in
One hundred and seventeen
One hundred and seventeen

So it's getting late for time
This silent thief
And we're waiting for the birth
Of you in me
But we fell out of the blue and burst
No casual affair
Couldn't see you from the bridge
If the doors were never there
In an ever shrinking bed
She waited
Waited
Waited

And she'll try hard to sleep
And rest her head
The bitter twisted lie
Regretting what she said
I'm going numb
What did we break
You bend your will
To wake the dead
And this jackpot
Will be my crown
I'm falling down
To settle on a velvet seabed
I'm going down

She'll try
She'll try
She'll try to sleep
Brush back her hair
She'll dry her eyes
But no one is ever really there
In her distress see through her skin
The bitter state we're in
One hundred and seventeen
One hundred and seventeen


6. BEACH HOUSE

Now, I see the world
In awe, and for what it's worth
Divided in the call
Bitter comfort
Stones within a wall
Of massive silence

I feel the change
You hope
Innocence remains

And as a stranger now I leave a mystery on her shoulder
A thousand blurry thoughts no words
The want to make it right
And she closed the door and faced the sun
Staring at the sea
She's longing yet afraid
But not as much as me

Now, I see the world
It's light
Of titanian white
Every grain of sand has a secret
As I raised my hand, you kept quiet

And as a stranger now I leave a mystery on her shoulder
A thousand blurry thoughts no words
All divide the night
And she closed the door and faced the sun
Staring at the sea
She's longing yet afraid
But not as much as me


7. SUBSTITUTE FOR MURDER

Now that it's grown
In your self destructive fight
So bright on first sight
Face something you know has no eyes
How do we dare do this every night
And wildly tear ourselves apart
And it's a serious problem
You can't deny
So you break out
You break out
It's a substitute for murder
And you're tumbling in a head first dive
See your hands are trembling
It's a substitute for murder
So give me something
I'm thrown out and taken in
You recognize the signs
But it just feels so absorbing
Cross the line
The shadow of dreams
With stars like cream
In your blood
A necklace of pearls
I'll find you
I'll see who you sleep with
Every time
You know that everything is wasted
But you can't find a better way
You know that everything is wasted
Well it's a substitute for murder...


8. DINGLERS HORSES

Nightmares die
When I turn their heads to the sand

And the pain will restore
By kiss of death
But love wanted more

To kill itself
As I kissed you

The southern skies
Majestic weight feeds the dust
Of this place, a memory in a photograph
And then, I lick the wounds and plead insane again

After the service I
Resigned to home
And I kissed you
And I kissed you

And the silence I take
To this ravine
Is building up speed
Nearing the end

What keeps the world sane?
Tell me sometime

Muzzle to muzzle to sacrifice
My anger turns to a river crawls hungry, hungry

A mountain ravine is no real divide
Appeared at my desk nursing your yellow fever


9. WHEN EARTH LETS GO

A soaring flight comes to an end
Haunting, ancient
Golden sea
Fallen leaves
Now I see you
Slowly opening up
Warm winds, wonderful

Unfold your wings again
Ray of light

When earth lets go

Steeples rise
To nowhere
Raised in mourning
Circling vast fields of you
Releasing passion
Slowly opening up
Its dancing in the air

As the tide slowly turns
Paper bird

When earth lets go
