The Obsessive Soul
03:56
|
|||
|
Can you find it in your heart to forgive a broken soul?
The story starts, the map is out and again it will unfold
Pour yourself a glass of wine and think about the sun
The crystal mirrors burst around, explaining all along
The darkest of the nights are made here just for you
Can you find it in your heart to forgive these blinded eyes?
Fearless wonders, consequence, the ones that you despise
Obsession of your anger leads to the fall of all but one
The one who learns to lead the threat to mirrors of the sun
The darkest of the nights are made here just for you
A hidden diamond in your mind
Obsessive souls worth changing time
The darkest of the nights are made here just for you

The Girl That Cried
05:02

Hey you see the girl that cried
She sits and waits for next in line
Denial sets in on her sweet lips
An eager touch of fingertips
"Oh won't you let me be" can't you hear her scream?
A fortune told for misfortunes had
A smile that's lost, that can't be bad
Now doesn't that make you feel glad?
Hey you see the girl that cried
There she stands to read my sign
Never turning back does she
A broken heart will always be
Oh I can't decide, no I can't decide
To hold my hand out or to hear you shout
I take my hand back with my head up high
Yours is low and I hear you sigh
Leave a tear to fall upon me
And wash away the love that I found near
Just take my heart and leave me be
Don't call my name because I will not hear
Hey you see the girl that cried
The rose that's left me torn inside
Her thorns will always tear my skin
Her heart will only rust like tin
Well you're breaking down, always breaking down
I won't hold your hand, just you watch me stand
The withered flower who put me through hell
Fallen from your heart; a petal
Leave a tear to fall upon me
And wash away the love that I found near
Just take my heart and leave me be
Don't call my name because I will not hear
You see the girl that cried
The sun has touched my eyes
You see the girl that cried
The sun had touched my eyes
The sky...
Leave a tear to fall upon me
And wash away the love that I found near
Just take my heart and leave me be
Don't call my name because I will not hear
Just let me lie and leave me be
You'll find I'm not the only one
My eyes have been touched by the sun
You'll cry emotional defeat
Just let me lie, I'm out of reach

Cryptic
03:33
|
|||
|
He couldn't sleep, he couldn't breathe
Had some kind of crazy dream
Next to his bed, he found a note
The words were cryptic and they spoke
They spoke
In seven years you can't deny
The change we made to live a lie
No one knows the pain inside
That's keeping us alive
He stopped the car, he let me out
He took a left back into town
The thought alone confused his soul
Defined his visions to control
The life he made and left behind
He found the same words in the sky
And now he knew the thing to do
To follow heart and stay true
In seven years you can't deny
The change we made to live a lie
No one knows the pain inside
That's keeping us alive
So far out in the distance
Old faith, tortured existence
It's a shame, like no one would listen
Don't hold your breath
And now he knew the thing to do
Say goodbye and face the truth
And now he knew what to do
One more thing to say to you
In seven years you can't deny
The change we made to live a lie
No one knows the pain inside
That's keeping us alive
So alive

Overwhelmed
05:43
|
|||
|
Oh sweet illusion
As I'm drugged up and drowsy
Oh sweet illusion
It takes my time where it allows me
Where somewhere unaware
There's a lit fuse beyond control
The same thing that pushes me away
Takes me down, down, down
The music's loud and I'm paranoid
Turn it down, down, down
We'll steal the stars and then break the noise
Tear it down, down, down
An overwhelming volume voice
As it hits the ground
I'm overwhelmed
Oh sweet delusion
It finds the pain so not to drown me
Oh sweet conclusion
Tear a hole in this world
Lets me breathe and in turn forms a destiny
Where somewhere unaware
There's a lit fuse beyond control
The same thing that pushes me away
Takes me down, down, down
The music's loud and I'm paranoid
Turn it down, down, down
We'll steal the stars and then break the noise
Tear it down, down, down
An overwhelming volume voice
As it hits the ground
I'm overwhelmed
So hang these mirrors on your eyes
And reflect your reasons away
I can't lose, I can't abuse it
The music's loud and I'm paranoid
Turn it down, down, down
We'll steal the stars and then break the noise
Tear it down, down, down
An overwhelming volume voice
As it hits the ground
I'm overwhelmed

The Sound
05:21
|
|||
|
Waking up to another day
I'm delirious in every way
Next time you leave me here, here against my will
Ask me if it's wrong to feel accepted or disconnected
Face the music
Link disabled
Don't wanna lose it
I feel unstable
And if you're watching me point the way out
You'll stay corrupted
I thought I heard the sound.... Of conciousness
Wake me up, take these things away
If what I hear is real then I'm insane
You might have used this trust if I knew how you felt
Aching by yourself, it's anti-social
Cue commercial
Face the music
Link disabled
Don't wanna lose it
I feel unstable
And if you're watching me point the way out
You'll stay corrupted
I thought I heard the sound....
You crash
You burn
You run
Dissolve
Face the music
Link disabled
Don't wanna lose it
I feel unstable
And if you're watching me point the way out
You'll stay corrupted
I thought I heard the sound.... Of realisation

The Silence
03:51
|
|||
|
It goes it goes
So slow so slow
A fixed design
It grows it grows
It knows it knows
You crossed the line
I pace I pace
The place the place
Somewhere to hide
It breeds disease
I need to stop and analyse
But here it comes
It's not the science
Maybe the silence
It's not that science that's killing me
It's not the science
I think it's the silence that's killing me
It's not the science
Maybe the silence
It's not the science
Maybe the silence
It's not the science
I think it's the silence that's killing me
It goes it goes
The ghost the ghost
It makes no sound
It's old it's old
I'm running cold and burning out
I pray I pray
The same cliche, it's wearing thin
And once again I wasting days
And fading in
So there you go
It's not the science
Maybe the silence
It's not that science that's killing me
It's not the science
I think it's the silence that's killing me
It's not the science
Maybe the silence
It's not the science
Maybe the silence
It's not the science
I think it's the silence that's killing me
When all you want is harmony. No compromise
You'll find it harder it harder to believe with your own eyes
When what we hear and what we fear are only words
You live and learn and hold it in to make it worse

Maybe It's Too Late
03:16
|
|||
|
Well it seems our time is up
And I wanted to clear the air
Tied to what's in my head
Concrete sealed it's fair
I tried sleeping alone
Ignoring the phone
Betrayed my darkest side
Now one at a time
I'll give you my life
It's not like I will lie
Maybe it's too late
But I know we'll be fine
Now it seems I'm all out of luck
No time to dwell on that
Look forward without turning back
And listen to the facts
Well in the beginning it was all I could think
Of being where I am
Now with this I hope
You will take it upon yourself to understand
Maybe it's too late
But I know we'll be fine
I smile
Lights are
Out and
Vague we are
Except for times of passion
Yet, I
Owe my soul
Undeniably so
Maybe It's too late
But I know we'll be fine
Yeah I know we'll be just fine

Do you like my speedos?
You got that Speedo look in your eye
And you know that you want me
'Cause I see you shakin'
Saying "Spee-don't you touch me there yet!"
Ha!
And you know that I'm fine in these Speedos of mine
"Don't you look at me monkey boy, 'cause I know you're looking at my monkey"
And you know that I'm fine in these Speedos of mine
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

How Close?

I'm taking my time
Invading your space
You're losing mind
You're losing your place
I'll take what is mine
I'm taking my time invading your space, yeah
I don't even care
You weren't even there
Just tell me the side
I don't even mind
Just tell me the side
Yeah
I warned you early on in life
I grabbed you, taken by surprise
Somehow you were able to find the time
To do the things you do
Try hard now, don't let me hold you back
I'm sure now they'll cut you some slack
Bye-bye now, get back on track to your life
I don't know how we'll get through
I'm taking my time
Invading your space
You're losing mind
You're losing your place
I'll take what is mine
I'm taking my time invading your space, yeah
I don't even care
You weren't even there
Just tell me the side
I don't even mind
Just tell me the side
Yeah
Stand up straight, don't look them in the eye
Won't think straight with worries on my mind
Don't be late, all bets are off this time
It's just us against all of them
I'm taking my time
Invading your space
You're losing mind
You're losing your place
I'll take what is mine
I'm taking my time invading your space, yeah
I don't even care
You weren't even there
Just tell me the side
I don't even mind
Just tell me the side
Yeah
I warned you early on in life
I grabbed you, taken by surprise
I told you and now the world is ours
It's our time. How close am I to you?
I'm taking my time
Invading your space
You're losing mind
You're losing your place
I'll take what is mine
I'm taking my time invading your space, yeah
I'm taking my time
You're losing your mind
I'll take, what is mine
How close are you?

Insecure
04:46
|
|||
|
Well I could see that this could waste our time
But I can't help these feelings inside
I think I've found the cure for those sleepless nights
But now I'm not so sure. Does this feel all right?
I don't want it.
I will breathe it in this time and then you'll feel the silence
Broken hearted, disenchanted love we find but aren't prepared to hide it
I sold my soul
But I know in time I'll pay
But I'm feeling pure, not insecure
As if my life would change
And I'll keep rolling on until I find my way
I've been here long before
Wake up my new day
I'm fucked in the head
I'm dreaming instead of leaving things behind me
Will somebody explain how they expect me to leave?
I sold my soul
But I know in time I'll pay
But I'm feeling pure, not insecure
As if my life would change
I don't want it.
I will breathe it in this time and then you'll feel the silence
Broken hearted, disenchanted love we find but aren't prepared to hide it
I sold my soul
But I know in time I'll pay
But I'm feeling pure, not insecure
But I'm feeling pure, not insecure
But I'm feeling pure, not insecure
As if my life would change

I Know What You Mean
03:42
|
|||
|
Yeah I know what you mean
I'm laughing in my dreams
And it almost happens more
When I think about it
This table without legs
Ties me down with wooden pegs
And I'm staring out the window
Trying to talk about it
I'm gone, I'm on a quest
For what? I don't know, hope for the best
And I haven't found the sequel, no
I just found the normal people
Yeah I know what you mean
I like to make a scene
When the sun comes up and all you can do is just sing about it
I'm gone, I'm on a quest
For what? I don't know, hope for the best
And I haven't found the sequel, no
I just found the normal people
And a simple thought is gone
For the use of life in day
I'll pull my collar up again
And I hope to see it through
I'm gone, I'm on a quest
For what? I don't know, hope for the best
And I haven't found the sequel, no
I just found the normal people
Yeah I know what you mean
And I think about it

Questions
05:33
|

|
So this is what it takes to lose control
A paper myth evolved from written chalk
Can you see yourself involved in something else
'Cause in this mind it me wish that I could help
So how did someone let this leader fall?
I'm side by side with angels six feet tall
Never mess with us, let the turn to dust
'Cause in this mind it makes me feel like I'm alone
Ooooh
I know that there is something else
If only I could lift myself
Ooooh
If we were ever meant to see the only way it's meant to be
We ask no questions
We ask no questions here
These are the mistakes that light the way
Nothing could prepare me for this day
Can you hear his voice? He never had much choice
'Cause in his mind he's blind and lied to everyone
Ooooh
If I was born to see the end
I'd have to learn to try again
Ooooh
If loneliness could ever see the only way it's meant to be
We ask no questions
We ask no questions here
This is what it takes to lose control

Bite-marks On My Heart
02:42
|
|||
|
Why do I feel like I've been thrown around?
I'm tossed and turned through a labyrinth of sound
Blood pumps through my dirty veins
Her life is full of nothing but complaints
Cruelty plays the part
Leaving bite-marks on my heart
Why don't you tell me from the start
No, don't 'cause it's life
And I don't care
Why do I feel like I've been thrown around
I lost my mind. Could my memories be found
Life is like the film said, you watch it, how it ends
Making mistakes that will never, never make amends
Cruelty plays the part
Leaving bite-marks on my heart
Why don't you tell me from the start
No, don't 'cause it's life
And I don't care
Why don't you tell me again?
I didn't hear you the first time
Why don't you tell me again and again and again
Oh no
Cruelty plays the part
Leaving bite-marks on my heart
Why don't you tell me from the start?
Why don't you tell me from the start?

It's Like This...
04:27
|

|
You're staring at someone who waste their time
The truth is I loved you once and I screwed up twice
I drunk the drink and now it's far too late
The night is young and I'm past my sell by date
What comes up, must come down
In any way that can be found
You could land or you could fall
I'll take the chance and I'll do it all
It's like...
If all the music in the world were to play at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know why you're alive
And if all the people in the world were to laugh at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know there is no lie
Goodbye my friend
You're waving goodbye for a little while
Six months counting with a teary eye
A little present from your London town
The place where all your memories are found
So every time you hear this song
You'll remember just how long
Until the time you come back
Please remember, you must come back
It's like...
If all the music in the world were to play at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know why you're alive
And if all the people in the world were to laugh at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know there is no lie
Goodbye my friend
The bottle ran dry...
What comes up, must come down
In any way that can be found
You could land or you could fall
I'll take that chance and I'll do it all
If all the music in the world were to play at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know why you're alive
And if all the people in the world were to laugh at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know there is no lie
And if all your friends in all the world were to cry at the same time
Try and listen carefully and you'll know why you're alive

Waiting For Jeffr'y
05:12

Well I've been hear for hours
I've been here for days
I know you said he leads the good life
But does he know the way?
The streets are cold this time of night
And suspicion lurks at day
We don't look right and the smell is suspect
And people stare either way
Waiting...
Jeffr'y, do you know the way?
I squint and choke on the final pull
The dog-end, brown and grey
I know you said he leads the good life
But does he know the way?
The final sip of the metal can is flat.
Yo, we should leave
My eyes are red and my hands are blue
The way I feel you just can't believe
Waiting...
Jeffr'y, do you know the way?
Waiting for Jeffr'y
