I Tend to Be Maudlin
03:34
|
|||
I guess that I wasn't born
To play it cool
Getting upset has made me
A lonely fool
I see through the lies
It takes to form a gang
Always calling you out
When you only wanted to hang
Now that the boys
Well, it seems that they've bought in
I tend to be maudlin
I know you haven't had
The easiest time
And some kind of peace
Is hard for you to find
Now that you've left me
For a place in the scene again
I tend to be maudlin
I hope you're having fun now
Used to drag your feet
Everywhere we went that was new
I just wanted to help
If that means anything to you
Now that it's out
I was trying to be your friend
I tend to be maudlin

Holy Trinity Column
05:21
|
|||
Crumbling spires drip with rain
Crowned with nets of rusted grill
In the steepled city on the hill
Apes and angels roam narrow streets
They warm their icy hands over sewage steam
When the sun denies its beam
If constellations are cobblestone
Drowned in stormy sidewalk streams
If the stars deny our dreams
You and I should make a plan
Even if we give up the ghost
To heal whatever hurts the most
Father and son of flesh and blood
Live in a tower cleansed with rain
It runs from the spire to the drain
Apes and angels will spread their seed
The harvest will reap their tragedy
Not for our Holy Trinity Column
Not for our Holy Trinity Column
Our Holy Trinity Column

Theme

I want to hear
Your words, I'm here
Please let me know
I need to know
If I'm able to know
So hold me near
You lost me when
It became apparent
I don't want to be touched
I need to touch
Don't touch
No, I won't bend
Move on, move on
Never know when
The fear's not really gone
Evening departure alone
You turned the corner
Almost grabbed your arm
Fallen to the street warmer
It was cold as a stone
I need to know
If I'm able to know
So hold me near

Flight
04:13
|
|||
And above the window
Flight unlikely so they say
And above the people
Passing day by day
Never did they care for me
Flight
Never they believe
And above the building
Never know the view I know
And above the place
Will chase away my fear
Preparation for my flight is near
Flight
Never they believe
Flight
What I feel for you
Will not be taken lightly
Flight
What I feel for you
Will not be taken lightly

What You've Done
02:53
|
|||
What you've done
Were there strings attached
Some selfish intention
What you've given
You didn't have to give
In a world where no one cares
You didn't have to reach your hand out
It's clear you owe me nothing at all
What you've done
It got me out of bed
It brought me back to life
What you've given
You didn't have to stay
After I pulled a knife out
You didn't have to let me in the door
I overstayed my welcome early on
What you've done
Has captured me in a moment forever
What you've given
You didn't have to share
We're in this together now
You didn't have to take those pictures
You know that I'm in love with myself
What you've done
Oh what you've done

So Sad
02:43
|
|||
You told me to get lost
Leave, get lost and stay lost
Don't you know when you're not wanted
And the line's been twice crossed
With all your loyalty to a funny mirror
Of someone else
It's just sad, it's sad
So sad
I remember hearing you say
A lot of stupid things
And you can't be yourself, why
The reason's you're a fake
And how long can you last in the black hole
You thought would save you
It's sad, so sad
It makes me so sad
It makes me sad, so sad
It makes me so sad
To know we can't go back
With all your loyalty to a funny mirror
Of someone else
It's just sad, so sad
It makes me so sad
It makes me sad, so sad
It makes me so sad
To know we can't go back

Teach Me How to Love
03:25
|
|||
I was out of breath
But I kept on running
Holding your hand
It gave me strength
Holding you close to me
A dream come true
Go on without me, you said
I'll be waiting
No, don't leave me
I'm lost without your touch
Teach me how to love
How to die for love
Not to hide from love
But this is goodbye
Do you want me to hide
From my heart, my heart for you
And if I could heal
My heart, my heart for you
Would you stay with me
Oh I believe I'll love you forever
Through all my tears
I know if I cried out
You'd hear me loud and clear
Teach me how to love
How to die for love
Not to hide from love
But this is goodbye

Haunted
03:10
|
|||
In the streets
The stars look down on me
I see you in the lights
I've got no will to speak of
In some kind of hell
I look to you for desire
In my prayers
I need your love
I feel you in the night
But I've got no wings to fly with
So I can't leave
I'm so alone
I need to see you now
I still hear your voice say:
You made your choice
I'm so alone
No one to comfort me

Animal Torture
07:15
|
|||
Perfect animal
A spirit so beautiful
Destroyed
Tortured to death
Full of fear
Struggling for freedom to escape
Tomorrow
Many more will die
Die for you
Why do you kill
Why do you look away
When they cry
The sorrow in their eyes
Ignored
Why do you kill
Why do you look away
As you feed off their agony
And their pain
Don't turn away
The tears they weep could be yours
And mine
In pain
Humans and animals are one
And the same

I Feel the Sun
04:08
|
|||
Love
I feel love has come to me
You know I had to wait
And the sun
I feel the sun has come to me
And freed me from my fate
Pain
Cold pain has taken me
And broken my resolve
And faith
My faith has forsaken me
You know that it's my fault
Still I feel the sun
I feel the sun
I feel the sun
When I'm gone
Remember me
Remember what I've done for you, my love
And it's just a song
Listen to me
Listen to my voice, it's not enough
