We are wandering aimlessly, with daggers at our side
(Is this an invitation?)
Acrimonious even know the road’s been paved with gold
(Everything’s coming back to me)
Nothing is ever as it seems
You carry the weight of the world
But your voice is never heard
Count your blessings, find yourself a safer place to hide
You carry the weight of the world
But you’ll never breathe a… word
Oh, so slowly
Time is just ticking away
Everything’s coming back to me
We were but vessels lost at sea
(And so it goes…)
You carry the weight of the world
But your voice is never heard
Count your blessings, find yourself a safer place to hide
You carry the weight of the world
But you’ll never breathe a word
So you’ve marched over barren lands
Oh so tried and true
Making cracks in the landscapes
As you make your way through
Now you float down the river
Toward the jaws of hell
And the only reprieve you’ll ever feel is death it’s fucking self.
You carry the weight of the world
But your voice is never heard
Count your blessings, find yourself a safer place to hide
You carry the weight of it all
But I guess we’ll never know
Take a moment, help me pull this thorn out of your side.
Yeah, you carry the weight of the world
But you’d never breathe a word

If the ocean gets its way
We'd float until the end of days.
But if you promise to be brave
I'll save you from the pouring rain
Can I be your friend?
You never were
Can I be your friend?
You never were
Can I be your friend, your distant lover, or your anchor?
Can I be the one that gives you reason to burn?
Buried up inside, all vital signs are surely fading.
Still there's just one thing you always seem to forget.
We come in armies.
When the devil comes to play,
There surely will be hell to pay
And though the forces should be holding you back
Still you even have the nerve to ask
Can I be your friend?
You never were
Can I be your friend?
You never were
Can I be your friend, your distant lover, or your anchor?
Can I be the one who gives you reason to burn?
Buried up inside, all vital signs are surely fading.
Every single time you always seem to give up.
I could be the prophet that you need
I could be the earth beneath your feet
You'll learn, You'll learn
Baby when there's silence in the streets
We can really find a place to sleep
You'll learn, you'll learn.
We come in armies.

Castles In The Air
04:49

I was born
In to this hell
My mother warned me what was out there
But I never listened well
Now I’m a menace
A part of the ache
And every time I try the higher road
My world goes up in flames
Cause when I put my soul to waste
It takes me to that higher place
I'm a tragedy that lies in wait
But hold on tight, cause help is on it’s way
Everything’s become a different colour lately
I try to stay divided in my castle in the air
No matter where I go
I’m still connected
Oh I was blind
but now I have seen
There is a monster lurking deep inside of me
I’ve stolen trophies
And I’ve broken bones
If you need someone to make a mess
Baby, I’m the one.
Everything’s become a different colour lately
I try to stay divided in my castle in the air
Yeah everything’s become a different colour lately
I’m not scared of dying, just as long as you are there.
No matter where I go
I’m still connected
I am still connected.
Everything’s become a different colour lately
I try to stay divided in my castle in the air
Yeah everything’s become a different colour lately
I try to stay divided even though I’m here, in hell, for good.

Dark Horses
05:38
|

|
At the bottom of the sea
You can find me drinking deep
There’s a hole in my ship that you’ll never fill
And I’ll wait ‘cause I’ve got time to kill
Now I am happy to admit
I should be ready to exist.
But there’s pain in my heart that you’ll never know.
So I’ll wade here in the afterglow
In the night I see dark horses come alive
But we’ll never fall in line with a broken heart
In my head I see stars
I’m a dead man walking but there’s no end in sight
In the night I see dark horses come alive
Now, let’s ride into the next life
I must confess
That I expected nothing less
I swear I tried my very best
but you just left me with a cross to bear.
In the night I see dark horses come alive
But we’ll never fall in line with a broken heart
In my head I see stars
I’m a dead man walking but there’s no end in sight
In the night I see dark horses come alive
Now, let’s ride into the next life

Last Words
04:33
|

|
In my darkest hour
When I disappear
Don’t come searching for me
I’m as good as dead
If I ever come back... back to earth again.
You should know
You should know
From the deepest ocean
In the darkest trench
I’ve been counting my stars
I’ve been raising hell
Even if I falter
Best you hear me well
Because these could be my last words.
When the act is over
And the magic ends
Back in to the hollow
Where I lose my head
And even if I come back... back to earth again.
You should know
You should know
Yeah, you.
From the deepest ocean
In the darkest trench
I’ve been counting my stars
I’ve been raising hell
Even if I falter
Best you hear me well
Because these could be my last words.

Battleships

Where do I begin?
These walls are paper thin
And I can hear the wolves as they are calling
While they’re unaware.
I lay my body bare
But it’s not enough to keep those bastards sated,
and little do they know I’m going crazy.
You’re heaven sent
So don’t forget
You know what you are
You don’t respect yourself
Your battleship
Is made of stone
The damage is done
So go and make your move.
Why should I believe
There’s any hope for me?
When everything I touch ends up in pieces
Now I’m dancing in the dark without a reason.
You’re heaven sent
So don’t forget
You know what you are
You don’t respect yourself
Your battleship
Is made of stone
The damage is done
So go and make your move…
How do I appear?
I’m trying to be sincere
but I can’t stay a minute more
when you can’t even hold your own and…
What else can I say?
You’re in a better place
I’m telling you, you’re heaven sent
So take what’s yours but don’t forget that
Everything you ever love will leave you in this life,
now that the the river’s overflowing.
Your battleship is made of stone.
Still you float like a feather.
It’s the only thing I know.
You’re heaven sent
So don’t forget
You know what you are
You don’t respect yourself
Your battleship
Is made of stone
The damage is done
So go and make your move…

Weary ones, bring out your dead.
Jet planes flying overhead.
Come now, find your resting place.
Show no mercy, cede with grace.
True.
This is a bad dream
Somebody pull me
Out of this cold, twisted world.
We could take shelter in the stars.
Away from this hopelessness divide
This is a bad dream
Somebody please wake me up.
I’ve been watching while you sleep
Shadows hanging over me
Aim your arrows faithfully.
We could try to escape, but it’s time that we face...
...That it’s true.
This is a bad dream
Somebody pull me
Out of this cold, twisted world.
We could seek shelter in the stars.
Away from this hopelessness divide
This is a bad dream
Somebody please wake me up.
True.
This is a bad dream
Somebody pull me
Out of this cold, twisted world.
We could seek shelter in the stars.
Away from this hopelessness divide
I will be standing by your side, my love.
This war will never die
Just as long as you’re alive
So be strong
Hold your own
Let the demons bury us
This is a bad dream
Nothing but bad dreams...

The Means
05:37

If you have the means, don't ask.
There's no need to hold your tongue like that.
My body is a bridge and may collapse
My body is a bridge and may collapse
But it can be saved.
If you have the means, why wait?
There's no reason to anticipate
You’re standing on the edge but it may break.
So fall in to the void and spin away.
When all is said and done
We will lose everything
But all these battle scars
They're still reminding me
Now for the last time won’t you please just take my hand and make this true?
If you have the means, please stay.
If only for a momentary phase.
You leave me with a taste I can't escape.
This body is afire, can you relate?
This is the last time I can reach out to you
My will is strong but I can't take the abuse
So if you’re listening I need to be true
This is an offer that we cannot refuse
When all is said and done
We will lose everything
and all these battle scars
They're still reminding me
This is a gift we have
It's time we play that way
We’ll make this work some how
This is our destiny
Now for the last time won’t you please just take my hand and make this true?
You’re never gonna make it on your own,
With an iron cell around your heavy heart.
(The world keeps spinning).

Baby Bird/Effigy

Baby bird
Nestled in mothers womb
Dawn is awaiting you
You can fly if you choose
On the cusp of what you’ve been waiting for
Spread your wings now and show them what you’re worth
Truth, be told is they love you just the way you are.
Broken lung
Where did you go so wrong?
Did you some how lose sight of what’s real?
Leave your mew now and dream of better days
Don’t forget to enjoy the noise you make
Truth, be told is they love you just the way you are.
I will be right here with my broken lung.
Waiting to die here with my broken lung.
I will be right here with my broken lung.
Waiting to die here without you.
On the cusp of what you’ve been waiting for
Spread your wings now and show them what you’re worth
Truth, be told is I love you just the way you are.
I will be right here with my broken lung.
Waiting to die here with my broken lung.
I will be right here with my broken lung.
Waiting to die here without you.
Though the dawn isn’t too far away, this ain’t over until I have said.
I don’t want you to end up in chains, my baby bird.
“There’s no rest in this fucked up machine.
But I’m doing the best that I can.”
So courageously
I keep chasing my moment in the sun
And this is what I get
So, courageously
I’ll keep chasing that moment in the sun
And you can't hold me back

I’ve had darkness over me
but tonight you’re on my mind.
I’ve felt light envelop me
but tonight you’re on my mind.
We talk, we talk
Like this love is impossible
I’m sure, I’m sure
What we have is unstoppable
And in time you’ll learn
I’ve seen roses blossoming
but tonight you’re on my mind.
We talk, we talk
Like this love is impossible
I’m sure, I’m sure
What we have is unstoppable
I know, I know
What the future is holding
And in time you will learn

Exodus
07:39
|

|
You’re floating way off course
Through a starless universe
Searching for light in the vale
You beg for mercy oh
Where are your idols now?
All but a gleam in the haze.
We say goodbye, my fickle friends.
Our ship has sailed, this is the end.
And now we lie in wait for exodus to come.
Your world is hanging by a thread.
So wash the blood from off your hands
And make your way into the final setting sun.
You’re moving nowhere fast
You bend, but won’t collapse
Just like a rose in the wind.
Good-bye
Good-bye
I feel it all, under my skin.
Not much a man, but I can sing.
And I’m still waiting for a light that never comes.
Your feet are bruised, yeah I can tell.
I pray you make out of hell.
And If you don’t, I wish you well.
We say goodbye, my fickle friends.
Our ship has sailed, this is the end.
And now we lie in wait for exodus to come.
Your world is hanging by a thread.
So wash the blood from off your hands
And make your way into the final setting sun.
