Closer to nowhere
Know where you are
Between the unknowns
Now here then gone
Without a reason
Without a road to travel on
I'll walk there and beyond
Leave a light on
Leave a light on for now
If tomorrow it goes out
I will go on
Further from something greater than one
Together broken, less than the sum
Love without reason
Ships with no sail to rest upon
They fall somewhere beyond
Leave a light on
Leave a light on for now
If tomorrow it goes out
I will try to carry on
Everything unsaid
Frozen in time
When the storm comes around
There's nothing more to say
Everyone undone
No one to save
When the storm comes around
To wash us all away

So many ways to get lost in the haze of a fantasy
Running away from the demons again
Every day they're more like me
Spent so many nights going out like a light in a dreamless sleep
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
If there is no peace give me apathy
Devil sing along
Hallejulah
Heaven heard a different song
Oh
Better left alone
I feel so low
I feel so low
I feel so low
(Nowhere left to go)
Gone are the days of a heart that laze in a revery
I'm hiding away in the memory maze
Out of phase and incomplete
(Nowhere left to go)
Now there's a stillness that fills every place where it used to be
(Nowhere left to go)
I don't want anymore
I don't need anymore
No I don't believe what I'm fighting for
Devil sing along
Hallejulah
Heaven heard a different song
Oh
Better left alone
I feel so low
I feel so low
I feel so low
I feel so low
I feel so low
I feel so low
Nowhere left to go
Nowhere left to go
Nowhere left to go
Nowhere left to goooOOOoo

End As You Begin
04:29
|

|
Take it in as it comes
What will be and what it is to belong
As tragic as happiness
Everybody knows love is a weakness
You know you've got to lose it to win
End as you begin
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Everything you found along the way
You throw away
As you will, as you want
Find another able body to haunt
Broken bruised beautiful
Stick another needle into the bone
To the bone
And all you had to do was pull it through
And you pulled it through
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Everything you found along the way
You throw away
Keep humming along the same old song
Come what may
It's never enough to right a wrong
You're untouchable, vulnerable
Tired and cliche
Empty your heart and start again
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Everything you found along the way
You throw away

This Silence
04:15
|

|
Every promise is a sacrifice
Do we have to get it wrong to make it right
(...uh huh...)
Uncertainty has taken up my time
Swallowed belief that used to get me by
As I cross the great divide
Wake me from this darkness
Help turn my loss into light
Save me from this silence
Help bring my love back to life
Every joy and sorrow has its place
Between every friend a stranger shows another face
For those who care the world is never safe
It's home to those who live the past's mistakes
While the future bares the weight
Wake me from this darkness
Help turn my loss into light
Save me from this silence
Help bring my love back to life
Somewhere there's a place called heaven
Somewhere there's a road to home
And some things they were never meant to stay
They just move on
Wake me from this darkness
Help turn my loss into light
Wake me from this darkness
Help turn my loss into light
Save me from this silence
Help bring my love back to life

World of Illusion
03:16

Over
Keep turning it over
I know the world is ending
I know we're still pretending
Starless summer is pulling me under
Down where the spell is breaking
Down where the toll is taking my heart away
A mind of delusion
Swept up in confusion
Overload
No escape from a world of illusion
Is it still worth saving
Or meant to break
Over
I'm handing it over
Back where the truth is ended
Back to the unintended
Cruel lover
No time to recover
I know the walls have caved in
I know the light's still fading so far away
A mind of delusion
Swept up in confusion
Overload
No escape from a world of illusion
Is it still worth saving
Or meant to break
One chance
One taste
One last mistake
What's next
What's right
What's left behind

Blacklight

On my way
To the other side
Shadow walks behind
It has two heads
Hands of twisted wire
Tangled in my
Desire
Desire
Desire
Tangled in my desire
Desire
Tangled in by design
Out of time
Beast of faded light
Starving in my mind
It bleeds the sky
Sucks the ocean dry
Swallowing my
Desire
Desire
Desire
Swallowing my desire
Desire
Swallowing by...
Consoling, pushing and pulling
Slowly
Controlling, holding, unfolding
Growing
Inside of a broken burning
Black light unshining
Ending desire

Calm Collected
04:28
|
|||
|
Hope has abandoned what had once been everlasting
No closer to closure
Time surrendered, apprehended the dream
Oh how I long to be frozen
Lost in a euphoric moment
Carried away by anything
Numb to receiving
Every answer has no meaning
Love gone through the motions
Imitation of emotion only
Oh how I long to be frozen
Lost in a euphoric moment
Carried away by anything
Calm collected comatose
Calm collected comatose
Calm collected comatose
Calm collected comatose...

Summer goes under
The cool hand of autumn
Surround us and chokes
Found you and lost you
There's no one that knows you
There's only a shadow
I thought I saw the sun in your eyes
Solarized
I thought I heard tomorrow calling
Don't wait
I thought I caught the spark in your mind
Solarized
But it was only in my head
I thought I saw the sun in your eyes
Solarized
I thought I heard tomorrow calling
Don't wait
I thought I caught the spark in your mind
Solarized
But it was only in my head

Endless Loop
04:02

What is it that separates the fool from the madman
What sadistic engineer designs the perfect plan
To go wrong
I can laugh I can laugh I can laugh I can laugh
But not for long
No
Giving out 'til I give in
In a game no one can win
Oh whatever happened to us
Chasing the future
Oh whatever happened to now
Stuck on an endless loop
What is it that brings a broken spirit to its knees
What ironic twist of fate succumbs a vampire to disease
I can run I can run I can run I can run
But I can't release
No
Keeping out what can't keep in
It's a game no one can win
Oh whatever happened to us
Chasing the future
Oh whatever happened to now
Stuck on an endless loop
Is there no way out
In a madhouse of mirrors
Or a shadow of doubt
I'm just another another clown
From a kingdom of fools
In a world hanging upside down
Oh whatever happened to us
Chasing the future
Oh whatever happened to now
Over and over
Oh whatever happened to us
Stuck on an endless loop
(...endless endless endless...)
Stuck on an endless loop
(...endless endless endless...)
Stuck on an endless loop
(...endless endless endless...)
Stuck on an endless

Woke up yesterday
Colourblind
Taking a photograph
Painting a still life
Everything will change
Given time
I wish I could slow it down
I wish I could find
Someone to hold
Somewhere to hide
Something to last
One more night
But it's out of my hands
I'm out of my mind
Colourblind
Nothing will remain
Yours of mine
Beauty was made to fade
Beginnings were made to end
So embrace the change
As a friend
Maybe you're still afraid
And maybe I'll still pretend
There's someone to hold
Somewhere to hide
Something to last
One more night
But it's out of my hands
I'm out of my mind
Colourblind
I'm not waiting for a sign
Colourblind
Celebrating left behinds
Tomorrow got carried away
Stuck again between the black and white
Colourblind
Caught inside the wasted high
Another familiar charade
In a dream I thought was mine
Colourblind
Mirror memories intertwine
Reality further away
Once again my eyes are open wide
Colourblind
Looking inward hypnotized
Colourblind
