We Swam To The Bottom
03:30
|
|||
We drove away
Through the tunnels to the lakes
Where we came from
And from your mouth
Into my heart
I gently tucked it away
You turned your back into the sunset
We never kept time
When we've got nothing to lose
You took my hand down to the water
I never took a breath
And we just swam farther down
You kept begging
I kept begging baby please
Give me the answers
To the questions
We've been searching for centuries
You turned your back into the sunset
We never kept time
When we've got nothing to lose
You took my hand down to the water
I never took a breath
And we just swam farther down
So many people say
There's no single way to find love
And only if I may
Politely turn away and keep it under lock
Roaming around
Pulling everybody down
To their worst
Ruling them out
They no longer make a sound
And it hurts
To keep you to myself

All Lies
03:24
|
|||
the boys think it's alright
to keep all their thoughts inside
but i stand indifferent
cause i was feeling same outside
i'm all lies
i'm all lies
the girls want to come over
in hopes someone will make an offer
but i stand indifferent
cause i was feeling the same inside
i'm all lies
i'm all eyes

MKULTRA
05:41
|
|||
out in the night
swallowed what was left of my pride
plunged the knife
into a light
that was quickly losing sight
i faced the fear
that was keeping me from ever letting go
goes to show
you close you eyes
life always reappears
i moved away
where the night is dead
and the day is here to stay
oh far away
this is the air i breathe
this is the place i now call home
i'm bound to stay here
this is my new home
it's my new home
--------------------
let go and don't look back
this is you and this is me
the light, it ain't so bright
there's no choice
and there's no fight
we were tearing at each other's skin
digging to the bone
once the pins were torn within
we built another home
with heat and hell's taste in his hands
he killed the man inside
pouring tears into a pan
he filtered out the lies

Holy Days
02:58
|
|||
Hung his coat on the rack again
Evening news on Iraq again
Throw six back and crawl in bed
There's nothing left
Come up late and short of pay
American way is what they say
Never know if I never try
He finds comfort in the daily grind
Wakes up early in the morning time
Keeps them down to stay alive
Works the corner from nine to five
With two youngsters ages five and nine
Well we keep on, moving on
Never stop and go
He took me by the hand and asked
What do you have to show?
Well we keep on, moving on
Never stop and go
He took me by the hand and asked
How do we get our hands on more?

We Drink The Blood
02:10
|
|||
She carved his name into her hand
He promised he would be the best man
She bled out and he moved on
A loss of life she never dreamt of
Going down the same road
Following what you know
It all ended up in flames
Every though was in his name
With every hymn that you sing
We drink the blood of history

Devil's Path
04:58
|
|||
The merciless heat
is coming again
and i just don't think
it'll ever end
so get in the tall grass
cover your head
sleep tightly dear
till' the moon turns red
till' the moon turns red
loosen your grip on
reality
name all the colors
you see within me
tear down the branches
pick up the roots
get swept in temptation
eat from the fruit
dance in your pleasure
forget the past
soon you'll be walking
the devil's path
the devil's path

At Ease
04:20
|
|||
fighting the feeling that tells you go
the longer you stay, the stronger the pull
lean back, let your mind unwind
at ease, it'll come in time
a brute's what she wanted
it wasn't me
a brute's what what she wanted
she's still unhappy
under great pressure she was wearing a ring
in the off time, made her heart sing
get back, oh she'd snap at me
life tangeled in hate, calls for therapy
open the door
let me come in
we'll play it back
oh, we'll play it back again
to take a step back
is what she needs
to gain an insight
on reality
kicked myself out, couldn't bare the wrath
think i'll take the other path
she still walks out
into the night
and i pray
she doesn't go ruin
another life

Our Time Is Near
03:38
|
|||
Kept him close by
To catch the fall
Turned a blind eye
To take care of myself
Leaving and keeping the worry
Put it on the shelf
Checking the papers for your name
You're a living hell
I told his mother
You better read the good book
His end of time's near
And it ain't looking good
Leaving and keeping the worry
Put it on the shelf
Checking the papers for your name
You're a living hell
My lovely let me hold you tight
My lovely from morning to night
My lovely let me hold you tight
My lovely from morning to night
