The Illusion Of Safety - Released 02/05/2002

Kill Me Quickly

can we,
can we kill each other quickly,
quick enough so I won't feel it?
a shot of strobe light anaesthesia
and I'll be fine
'cause I'm beginning to feel cold.
my hands are shaking from fear,
white from clutching my pride,
red from cutting you,
and blue from telling lies,
'cause I'm sick of the stabbing.
I'm sick of the breaking,
I'm sick of the bleeding until we fall down.
sick of this circle of death that we dance through again and again.
just lay me down in the ground.
lets fall asleep together,
hold me darling 'cause I'm scared,
and I can't do this alone.
but I need your heartbeat to haunt me,
your cold lips to breathe,
a promise that tomorrow
we'll wake up somewhere new.


A Subtle Dagger

it infiltrates, insidious.
it feints at love,
betrays our trust in
what we've known since we were born.
the truth we've found in all we see
points to design,
still our chests swell.
we'll never find
true answers from a wishing well.
so feed us another lie,
to still our thoughts,
appease our pride,
so we won't have to
change the way we see,
we live, we love, we die.
our lusts precede
our blasphemy.
our logic reads
like notes from a tainted autopsy.
our souls they speak of something more,
but we can't look beyond ourselves.
we implore empty skies because our hearts hold room for no one else.
we extend our claws to grasp at shadows of the ideals we have lost,
casualties of a subtle dagger,
buried to the hilt in our heart,
blood on our hands.

See you in the shallows

I hear the waves crash far below; the rocks are leaping for the sky
they’re starving for the air, for a bone to break , a dream to smash apart
but I don't care
it looks deep enough from here, I’m diving.
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance.
it looks deep enough from here, I’m diving
they float face down they all look so content
I don’t know why I’m even here,
guess I’m afraid to be alone and down below I see my crew they look okay
that can’t be blood, the water here is far too blue.
and gravity seems far away but I can hear her call my name
its so comforting to know ill never have to think again
it looks deep enough from here, I’m diving
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance
it looks deep enough from here, I’m diving
we float face down, and don’t we look content
it looks deep enough from here, I’m diving
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance
it looks deep enough from here, I’m diving
we float face down, and don’t we all look so content.

Betrayal Is a symptom

Faith is not something that I grasp,
it's something that I fake, as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks.
Faith, without actions is a mask, for making the same mistakes, as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks.
But somehow I find beauty in our failings.
Somehow I find meaning in these lies.
Somehow I’m made perfect in this fracture.
Your back is begging sweetly for my knives.
I’m spilling blood, glancing down to hide my face.
I walk with eyes closed tight, through monuments of grace.
My faith is a front, I’m spilling blood.
Isn’t it sweet how I’m trusted with angels,
and how quickly I break my promises? Isn’t it sweet?

deadbolt

when deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams,
at four in the morning you know where I’ll be.
out running red lights asleep at the wheel.
the sirens feed my nightmares,
I just close my eyes and I’m already there; its already too late. I know its nothing but lies,
but they sound so sincere;
I find them too hard to hate.
and she calls from the doorway, "stolen water is so sweet,
so lets drink in the darkness if you know what I mean",
and she calls from the doorway, "stolen water is so sweet,
so lets drink in the darkness if you know what I mean",
and I’m almost sure that I've been here before,
that this is not the first time I’ve stood in front of this door,
with an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn’t go in,
but it seems this is a battle that I never could win.
and you!
my true love!
you call from the hilltop.
you call through the streets,
"Darling don’t you know, the water is poison.",
and I say!
"come on and give me my poison.".
what have I done?
is it too late to save me from this place?
from the depths of the grave?
we all are those .. who thought we were brave
what have I done?

In years to come

I want to take the bullet, the one aimed straight for your heart.
I want to meet the wolves halfway and let them tear me apart,
but that's not the way they do it here.
I want to lay on the tracks, feel hot steel screaming at me.
expose the bones on my back, let me show you what I mean.
yeah, it's a different kind of love.
I want to climb barbed wire fences and warm our hands in blood.
and this is my gift is asking you to fix my ruined hands.
and it's a gift that keeps on giving,
and right now it's all I have to give.
I want to write the perfect song, and play it just for you,
while you are tangled up in sleep.
I need you more than I'll ever know.
until I stop breathing,
my lungs will take you for granted.

The Red Death

entertain the hope that somehow you’ll escape me
weld the bolts and close the iron gate
drink deeply the illusion of your safety
my how wishful thoughts inebriate
masquerade and revel in your opulence
writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance
swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy
a dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe.
remember me?
you look so surprised to see me here
hells black wings did I o'erperch these walls
for stony limits cannot hold me out
and now you all die

A living dance upon dead minds

love everywhere, exploding, maims and blinds
a living dance upon dead minds
but surely does not forget (perish)
sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains
but surely does not forget (perish)
sleep, cannot be photographed (measured); disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains
why its love; but at the earliest spear of sun perfectly should disappear -
who wields a poem huger than the grave?

Where Idols once stood

our idols lay in ruins.
we’d have saved them if we could,
but we still choose to worship
the places where our idols stood.
still believe they can save us
I've lived this way too long to turn back now
presuppositions set in stone
this coffin sealed by my own pride,
and though it seems the sun will shine,
I'll draw the shades and stay inside,
if we’ve learned anything at all its that the chests of idols will do just as well
we all see what we want to anyway, anyway.
some things are better left unsaid
you know what’s at stake,
something’s are better left unsaid
as long as we can keep it in textbooks, then we’ll be untouchable.
we hate to lie to children
but after all its all
for their own good.

Trust

mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
yeah the margin of error is slight
mix the chemicals right dear
mix the chemicals right
yeah you know that you could
save my life
there is a risk, there’s a risk when your dealing with love
you could snap my neck
any speed you drive can be dangerous
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
yeah you know there’s a fine line between
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
cause I know what betrayal can mean
when this frame fails me
will I trust you to carry me through
I know there’s no such thing as safety
but I know what a promise can do
will I trust you, will I trust you to carry me through
I will trust you, cause I know what a promise can do.

To Awake and Avenge the dead

old friend they told me you were dead,
the news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in.
your love was ravished, drawn, and quartered,
the soil was swift to drink her blood; this violence in the name of love.
but I still feel you, despite your tombstone.
so friend you must still walk among us, in places we don’t dare to glance.
I saw you killing Aristotle
but I know its all part of the plan.
to awake and avenge the dead.

So strange I remember you

so strange I remember you in protest of a prayer
and falling back from seas we fear to sail
I swear I saw the shooter, gold deep and double dare
post modern warnings seem inclined to fail
feigning an apology
those words they never left your lips
those 5 years in Bermuda slide by like the lights of passing ships
so strange that I remember you
kneeling deep in Nietzsche’s lies
my throat was an open grave I drank your stained glass eyes
and they taste like dead cathedrals
that are crumbling beneath a weight ten thousand jaded tourists
who’ve traded in their hearts and hands for
disposable cameras, set to document decay
set to capture just enough of life to catalogue the things we throw away
breathing the fumes of our machines
we’ve lost our way
breathing through television dreams
if we could only see us now.
the words of the dead ring in our ears
but its only a lie
the voice in your head brings you to tears
but you don’t know why.
but it's only a lie,
yes, its only a lie...isn't it?

The Beltsville Crucible

true friends stab you in the front
keep you from getting what you want
one more fix could kill you
they help you realize that
you’re more and less than you first had believed
you’ve so much to give and there’s so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn
all that’s gold does not all shine
and helping words aren’t always kind
when one more kiss could kill you
they help you realize that
you’re more and less than you first had believed
you’ve so much to give and there’s so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn
how to let my guard down
accept the fire has spread among us
and if you’re feeling all right
you’ve got to play it again
you’ve got to play it again...

Identity Crisis - Released 03/06/2001

Identity Crisis

Image marred by self-infliction
Private wars on my soul waged
Heart is scarred by dual volition
Juxtaposed and both engaged
Kindle flame
A test of faith
Pray hope me see it through
I put all my trust in you
Refine hate and love
Fall afresh on me
End this crisis of identity
Draw this darkness out like poison
Stab retrieve again decline
Help me drive the dagger deeper
Trace with me explicit line
Take this blade
A test of faith
And strike me deep and true
I put all my trust in you
This is my voice
All shadows stayed
This is my heart
Upon the alter laid
Please take all else away
Hear my cry
I beg I plead I pray
I walk into the flame
A calculated risk to further bless your name
So strike me deep and true
And in your strength
I will live and die both unto you

Phoenix Ignition

Like a phoenix ignition
Like a crematorium
Like a swelling volition from the barrel of a gun
From the ashes and the embers
Like a rocket I'll ascend
Like a cry gone up for a fallen friend
I'll ascend
Everyday tear down these walls
Till cornerstones remain
Coming one step closer all the time
And although we'll never reach perfection
Always persist to try
Always try
No regrets just rebirth
Move forward and ignite
Incandescent reinvention
A new renaissance
A new fire each day

In your hands

Bound to this couch
I lie in waiting
Watching wind blown memories
Slip past my windowsill
I can't fall asleep
Voice in my head disturbs me
Waking nightmares keep
Have my cries fallen
On deaf ears
Can you hear me
or am I talking to myself again
Is there anybody listening
Are you taking this in?
Am I wasting my breath?
Tell me
Is the wind in your sails?
Worth everything you give
Are you looking forgiveness?
I leave it up to you
I guess I'm better off removed
Because the situations growing too thick
In your hands
Could it have been something I said
Or was it something that I did
Did I ruin my chance?
Have you written me off?
Tell me where did I cross the line
And I can work my way back this time
Will I always regret this decision?
I leave it up to you
I hope you find a good excuse
Because I've given about all I can give
In your hands
I could try and count the times
That I've been through this in my mind
But I'm running out of fingers
And I don't have that much time

To what end

To what end do we proceed to boldly
If all we are is chemical reactions
And what world have you so deftly sold me
If you reduce me
If I have no soul to touch
No heart to love
No evil to rise up above
No angels and no ghosts
No real victories to toast
If you believe that this is true
Then I must ask
To what end do you proceed
No fire in our eyes
No steel in our hearts
No magic in our songs
Are we just empty vessels?
Did I just not feel your love?
Did I not feel your hate?
And did my heart just not leap
And did my heart not break
And are these tears for naught
And are these words in vain
If this is all we are
Then what have we to gain?
What of all the art and books
Music and poetry
What of all our memories
What of our hopes and dreams
They hold no value then
We hold no faith but greed
So I must ask you
To what end do we proceed?

Ultra Blue

Unabashedly pursue
The truth that we can not deny
A revolution shining through
Orchestration adonai
A revolution ultra blue
And a melodic battle cry
And though you say there'll be no coup
We'll never know unless we try to make it through
And find a different point of view
One where faith is not taboo
And we'll all learn to see the world as new
Sometimes things that we've held true
Are proved to be an outright lie
But it seems we always knew
In some unspoken lullaby
I'll see you at the rendezvous
We'll raise our voices to the sky
And though some say there'll be no coup
We'll never know unless we try

As the ruin falls

Only now that you have taught me
(But how late my lack)
I see the chasm
And everything you are
Was making my heart into a bridge
By which I might get back from exile
And grow man
And now the bridge is breaking
For this I bless you as the ruin falls
The pain you bring
Far greater than all other gains

A torch to end all torches

Misguided satellite
I circle by habit
Can't find my orbit to save my life
I want to fall
I want to burn
Like an ignorant craterless meteorite
Long ago I was derailed
Long ago the mission failed
But in the distance
There appears a light
Disgruntled architect
Building a palace
Can't make it perfect to save my life
Victimless crime
Ride the wrecking ball in
Evacuate now while I breathe dynamite
Efforts all to no avail
I'm perfection's countervail
I'm torn into pieces
I'm made contrite
And in my darkest hour
The brightest light draws near to me
A torch to end all torches
This is the light that sets me free
All shadows burn away now
But by his grace I am sustained
Though all was lost
Now all is found and more is to gain
Lift me up and make me whole
Instil in me a new hope breath new life into my soul

Unquestioned Answers

Your traps are all baited
Your scales are all weighed
But not resisting you
Would surely drive me insane
So I'm caught and convicted
My rights are restricted
The imbecile dynasty continues to reign
Your apathy of thought
Has lead you to believe
That things are what they're not
My friend you've been deceived
The easiest route
Rarely leads to the truth
I see the self-approval glaze in your eyes
You know you're quite right
No need to worry why
A thousand stones remain unturned
In the wake of your unquestioned answers
And the truth uncover lies
Traditions some bare
Idly without out a care
But are determined
That they stand unchanged
And those who choose to rebel
Just to rise up some hell
Tell me what are you hoping to gain
I can't reason with you
I speak words you can't hear
Social conditioning
Left you with deafened ears
So I can take your face in hand
See that look in your eyes
That rigor mortis stare
That look that I despise
And so I turn from you
I walk these streets alone
Alone I search for truth
Ideal that you've disowned
And wait with fingers crossed
And pray you'll someday find a way
To see things through your own eyes

Under par

You set the bar too high
You're expectations have become my failure
A shell you see so shallow
But deep inside
My heart beats just the same as yours
The same blood through these clean veins
Can't you see that I'm in pain?
It seems my life is always under par
What can I say to change your mind about what I am?
Others can see what is hidden from your sight
A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide
Inner beauty and a bright light
My focus is not yours
I set my sites on new horizons
And let my soul have scope
Can't you see that I have my own dreams?
And though they're not the same as yours
They hold value to me
Tell me why can't you see
I'm not the means to mend your past regrets
Judged for how I look
Not for the good that I have done
I try the best I can
But it seems that I'm not the perfect son
Shaped by God
And my volition
And the seeds that you have sown
But I ask you once again
When does my life become my own?

T&C

In my head everything is perfect
And every note resounds in harmony
But all I seem to offer up are dischords
And every note I sing sounds out of key
And every time I play with passion
I start breaking strings
And my voice cracks when I sing from my heart
Guess that's the price I must pay
To know that I'm alive
This melody is tearing me apart
So now what do I have to show
And what price do I have to pay
For like saiyan I won't grow
Unless I'm battered in the fray
Cause we're all in the same machine
Each one with his own broken dreams
Passion gives way to failure
So lets all try and understand
You take my hand and I'll take yours
We'll let our passions bleed

First Impressions - Released '99

All eyes

The weight of the world is on my shoulders
And it's just too much to bear.
It's not that I'm growing callous,
I'm just too tired to care.

So drop your expectations,
Let go of any dependencies,
Forget your disapproval
'Cause I’m setting myself free.

Looking up to me,
Looking down on me,
And hazarding those sidelong glances.
I'm not too sure of what they see.
All I know is their views are slanted.

So drop your expectations,
Let go of any dependencies,
Forget your disapproval
'Cause I’m setting myself free.

(All eyes on me.)
I can't take the pressure.
(All eyes on me.)
Breathe without making a sound.
(All eyes on me.)
Don't expect perfection
(All eyes on me.)
'Cause I won't fail to let you down.
(All eyes on me.)
I can't take the pressure.
(All eyes on me.)
Breathe without making a sound.
(All eyes on me.)
Don't expect perfection
(All eyes on me.)
'Cause I won't fail to let you down.
I won't fail to let you down.
I won't fail to let you down

Lockdown

Once you were free and you stretched out your wings to the sky
sky was the limit, cap on your creativity
team against team could we even the score
our hearts kept the rhythm, that forbidden beat
your talons now grip like steel to the weight they chained you to
two in the morning, you can't hear the rumbling train
trained not to think or question anything
the chains that had bound you are now obsolete

please open your eyes,
everything they told you was a lie,
think for yourself won't you even try to look past all of those lies
think for yourself

for generations the answer has always been no
no one remembers and nobody cares to ask
asking a question is deemed criminal and slowly the silence grows
on the growing list of the mindless, by your name a check
checkmate the situation if we all toe the line
line up and never open up your eyes
and don't even think about raising your voice

leave your mind without thought (they fill it)
identity erased
place refuse in your sight (you swill it)
yeah it seems they got you bound (bound tight)
yeah it seems they got you beat
the chains that held you down (you down)
they now hang obsolete

Opaque

When you can want something you hate,
and lie in perfect honesty
from every angle things are crystal clear
when you doubt things of which you're sure
something seems just beyond your hand
you wonder if your living second rate
is my mind too open,
is my heart still beating
do my eyes betray a hint of loneliness
or an ambiguity,
I only want to see the light
when every word makes perfect sense
in every single line you read
but every single line seems to conflict
and the perspectives that I see
a Picasso reality
I'm seeing truth through sheets of opaque glass
where does reason stop, and romance begin
I feel the ghosts hitchhiking on the wind
and since when did following your heart become a sin,
I only want to see the light

T&C

In my head everything is perfect
And every note resounds in harmony
But all I seem to offer up are dischords
And every note I sing sounds out of key
And every time I play with passion
I start breaking strings
And my voice cracks when I sing from my heart
Guess that's the price I must pay
To know that I'm alive
This melody is tearing me apart
So now what do I have to show
And what price do I have to pay
For like saiyan I won't grow
Unless I'm battered in the fray
Cause we're all in the same machine
Each one with his own broken dreams
Passion gives way to failure
So lets all try and understand
You take my hand and I'll take yours
We'll let our passions bleed

Freedom

No time for anything at all
no time to reason or question direction
but I won't let myself fall
I'll just keep pushing 'til the end
I hope that I will find my way x2
when it's all been said and done
I really think you'll miss it once it's gone
as time passes I get scared
where will I end up and will it be good enough
will it work itself out
or will I be stuck here once again
I'll keep my eyes open wide
and try not to blink
it's just a matter of knowing where to look
cause sometimes things fall apart,
my walls crumble on me,
but I’ll keep trying, and trying,
and fighting until I am free

Second sight

How many times will I sit when I should stand
how many times have my dreams been just beyond my hand
how many times have I compromised
how many times have I told myself these lies

how many times will I walk the beaten path
how many times will I end up dead last
how many times will I watch it pass me by
how many times will I bury what's inside

well i know someday
i will find the means
and i will find the time
and i will find a way
to realize my dreams and leave it all behind

Better days

What's the use in hoping
when you always get let down
what's the use in smiling
when all you wanna do is frown
I'm drowning, in a sea of hate-filled eyes
and she's screaming
but no one hears her cries
is anybody hear to see a band
did anybody come to hear a song
does anyone believe in magic
is anybody here to sing along
people shove me down they're coming from all sides
and as I look around
something just don't seem right
I feel so all alone
though the people inundate
I see no joy or desperation
only senseless hate

is this the same scene
that I used to think I loved
or was I just naïve
and were they always out for blood
I've seen better days,
but I know that we can make a change
I've seen better days but we can change!

Unreleased/Compilation/Cover tracks


I've just seen a face (Beatles cover)

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
Na na na na na na

Falling, yes I am falling
Calling she calling me back again

I have never known
The likes of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things and stayed out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Na na na na na na

Falling, yes I am falling
Calling she calling me back again

Eleanor Rigby (Beatles Cover)

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been,
Lives in a dream.
Waits at the window, wearing a face she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no-one will hear,
No-one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there,
What does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name.
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave.
No-one was saved.
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

Send me an angel (Real Life Cover)

Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don't tell me a lie
Don't be false or untrue
It all comes back to you

Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defences are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own

If a girl walks in
And carves her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love

It get's in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel
Right now

Empty dreams can only disappoint
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up, don't give up
You can be lucky in love

Hideous Strength

Oh, that I could scream
And the world would stop and listen
And these scars could speak in volumes
But who has ears to hear
Or eyes to see
Again I scream
But my voice is buried in an unearthly silence
Like in nightmares when ghosts steal your breath.
I pray that power be not in my words
But in truth that super cedes the mind of man
And our dead hope, and our blind faith in means that look to justify the ends.
I feel a presence in the room
I feel cold fingers close around my neck.
With out you I am lost.
Let mine eyes not fail with looking upward

[/i]Genie in a bottle (Christina Aguilera cover)[/i] - great song haha

I feel like I've been locked up tight
for a century of lonely nights baby, baby, baby
licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
baby, baby, baby

whoa but my heart is saying no!

If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay

The music's fading
The lights down low
Just one more dance
And then were good to go baby, baby, baby
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby

whoa my body is saying let's go!
whoa but my heart is saying no!

If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way!
If you wanna be with me
I can make your dream come true

You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do!

I'm a genie in a bottle baby
you gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come, on and let me out

Madman

Our course is coarsely plotted
On a map of shoddy dreams,
But hindsight will reveal
Time's moving faster than it seems.
Maybe I'm just selfish,
I've got nothing left to give.
I'm still a foolish boy,
I've got a lifetime left to live,

And I was swinging like a madman,
Not quite sure of what I felled,
And I might never understand
Exactly what it was I'd held,
And now I watch the sun descending
From the weathered gravel roof,
And I recall the sky once told me
That all lies lead to the truth.

So I'll look the other way,
And I'll turn a deafened ear,
And I'll talk of distant lands,
Pretend I was never here.

Reality beads on my skin
Like a slicker in the rain,
But now I feel it soaking in
And I begin to feel the pain.
I fight the urge to run to you,
This is how it has to be.
We've gotta step away right now,
We're just too close to see,

And I was swinging like a madman,
Not quite sure of what I felt,
And I might never understand
Exactly what it was I'd held,
And now I watch the sun descending
From the weathered gravel roof,
And I recall the sky once told me
That all lies lead to the truth.

So I'll look the other way,
And I'll turn a deafened ear,
And I'll talk of distant lands,
Pretend I was never here,
And I'll look the other way,
And I'll turn a deafened ear,
And I'll talk distant lands,
Pretend I was never here

Lockstep

When I think of you my friend
cant keep a smile from my face
I know it sounds cliché
I love you more than you'll ever know
sometimes I sit and think of all the times you made me laugh and all the good times that we've had
I cherished everyone
through the thick and thin
we've walked in lockstep.

I wont let distance come between all the years that wear away
and the friendship that we built
and though it may sound trivial to some but not to me
every night I thank the Lord for you
how we bumped in

And yes, that did take forever. Hope you like them.

wow good job fingertapper :hitit: , i hope you didnt type all of that!

No, copied and paste, but it still took forever.

SILLHOUETTE

i figured out Sillhouette lyrics, which nowone is really even supposed to hear yet hehe.

CODE

Your eyes, followed me here. Your eyes, seamless and sure. They leave me broken and, in need of a cure. Your eyes, followed me here. Your eyes, sifting my soul. They leave me broken hands, those diamonds from the coal. They lace me along, Giving synapse of white lines. Then chasing the dawn, Story book syntax. Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know. About myself and this life. Sillhouette lies. And your eyes, speaking in tongues. Vigilant still, filling my lungs. Testing my will. They leave me broken and, bruised and bleeding. Your eyes, resting in flame, Leave me breathless again. Like hydrogen spread on fault lines. Or dead, kissing me with exposure to radon. Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know. About myself and this life. Sillhouette lies. Your eyes, Your eyes. Speaking in tongues. Vigilant still leads our way. Filling my lungs. Testing my will. You slit the throat, of I know. About myself and this life. Sillhouette Lies. You slit my throat. 'cause I know, That this life, is a lie. So slit my throat.
