time and space 04:01
lyrics

The fire’s burning behind me If you wanna run, you best take my hand The trees are breathing slowly The ground is falling just like quicksand Away from here, away The future is ours, today Away from here, away The future is ours, today The wind is rustling around me The dappled sunlight falls on your face Taste the freedom and glory Together we can stretch time and space We run til we’re forgotten We run to change our fate We run to prove they don’t know shit We run til we’re not in vain

calcified 04:47
lyrics
buy track
Can’t do another day Steal, deal, endless drain The silver sucked away Trade for a comatose game Detoxified and tried A new life back inside But the habit’s calcified Where is my exit sign Shouts out the righteous ones Evangelical hate Can’t you hear me knocking On locked, baptised gates Faded street lights winking Red disease consumes me Paws on pavement beckoning While ringing church bells see Scarred, lacerated lips Parting, sighing, lying Spill secret desire And promise me nothing I breathe metallic air Shocking silence surrounds me One last glance at the sky I’m falling through the ground

runaway 03:19
lyrics
buy track
You run away from all your problems You run away, just run away You can’t see why you’re such an addict You run away, just run away You run away from all your demons You run away, just run away You can’t see how to break the cycle You run away, just run away You’re obsessed with your own demise Hide the angel with the starry eyes In your mind, you crawl away And invite judgement day to play With all that quicksand in your head Why don’t you pull the trigger instead You’re fascinated with hate Fated to destroy than to create Humiliate your point of view By worshipping the same old tune The cobwebs sway from side to side But the wind is only in your mind

gimme a break 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Can you say thank you A little gratitude would be nice I didn’t mean to get run over By your implications Can you say sorry That unadorned five letter word If we can start with the ‘s’ And hopefully by next year We’ll get there Give me a break Why don’t you give me back some of my sweat Give me a chance to comprehend That a friend in need is a friend indeed Don’t give me another headache Don’t offer me any more little blue pills Don’t give me the chance to wring your neck You see it’s not in my nature to kill you Can you say confrontation I know you don’t like it much But it can’t be ignored You might as well be a nun Can you say anger To you it’s emotional sin That arguing is falling in To temptation Can you say death It’s a room with four white walls And a razor in your hand And that sinking feeling Can you say addict You know it tastes so good in your mouth You feel a part of something At your weekly meetings

kiss the knife 05:19
lyrics
buy track
Strawberry coolaide, sugar and blood Aluminum bindles of Mexican mud Film noir dreams where bob Dylan sings Numbing out future forgotten things Worship the powder Pay the whole price Dream empty power And bleed out your life Roam the country Roam the streets Search the city Search the night Kiss the lady Kiss the knife One more sacrifice One more delight Kiss the knife Beds of needles and video walls Stumble down stairways to circular halls Gasoline games and exhausted veins Can’t escape chained to the hedonist train

perfect 04:24
lyrics
buy track
I watched you leave, you walked away With nothing more to say Than you loved me, and goodbye And that you couldn’t stay I packed you up, there wasn’t much For all the years we had I didn’t cry, I don’t know why It didn’t make me sad Perfect in so many ways Blinded to why I’m ashamed Compelled to walk away Completely lost in never understanding Who I am You talked a lot, and laughed a lot About your family I tried not to envy you For such sanity I was the stain on your shirt The wound that hurt I was the shadow behind, The vacant mind You were the smile on their face The fastest pace You were the pride on the wall The one who stood tall

spiders web 03:30

Why don’t you come and play My spider’s web awaits I can be very nice Will you please step inside You are my little fly A toy for my delight I have you hypnotized Pleasure and pain are mine Play some games with me yeah Dangerous bitch I am yeah I can almost touch you When you lie I can almost feel you Let me die Why don’t you come and play My spider’s web awaits I’m irresistible I want you on the wall Prepare for me to strike I’ll kill you slow and slight You know you’re doomed to fall But I think you loved it all

sieve 05:13
lyrics

Beauty tastes bitter Mirror makes you yearn Longing to be her Touch face and skin burns So silently So silently The sound drowns in your eyes I hear you scream So silently Can’t stop the rain fall through your light Powder perfection Cover all the scars Smile at the question With eyes behind bars
