Tell Me Your Secrets
02:21

Tell me your secrets,
Tell me your desire,
Give me your poison,
Set me on fire.
How about a night,
Cold and alone,
See you in the darkness,
Hard as a stone.
Let me know your thoughts,
Let me know your mind,
Give me your brightness,
Making me blind.
How about a night,
Desperate and free,
See you in the darkness,
Looking at me.
Show me your reasons,
Show me your passion,
Give me your treason,
Kill me in action.
How about a night,
Cold and alone,
See you in the darkness,
Your thoughts are your own.

I'm Sorry, Sweet Girl
02:45
|
|||
|
You sent a message in the end,
Passed along by a friend,
You were headed for the door,
Left me alone, wanting more.
I’m sorry, sweet girl,
I didn’t mean to make you sad,
I’m sorry, sweet girl,
That this world can be so bad.
Well it came as a surprise,
To be your alibi,
When you made it past the rain,
Something just wasn’t the same.
No one’s here, and no one’s there,
Uncertainty breeds despair,
When I send you my regards,
It just echoes in the dark.

Never-ending Blue
05:04
|
|||
|
Out in the eternal, there’s a sea of fire,
There’s a sea of ice, beyond the funeral pyres,
Over every soul, a mountain’s rising higher,
Out in the eternal, just the pain that you admire.
Lightning strikes your temple, and wind rages at your heels,
Haze of fog is lifting, can you take what it reveals?
Searching for an answer, it’ll take your soul,
Maybe you will find one, if the pain can make you whole.
I’ll help you fight all the demons in your mind,
Tell me you won’t leave this world behind,
Get you to safety, and find a place to hide,
Put down the knife, drink of my wine.
Can you feel the distance, that tears you apart,
Is it easier to stay, or easier to part,
Can you find a reason that will get you through,
Can you find a doorway in the never-ending blue?
Out in the eternal, there’s a home for you and me,
Out in the eternal, somewhere we can be,
You can’t lose your soul, if you know what is true,
I haven’t lost mine when I’m standing next to you.

25 years
04:51
|

|
Well I’ve spent 25 years on the bloodsoaked streets of this town,
And like a panther in the jungle, girl, you’ve been hunting me down,
There’s a rainbow up above, but I’m still about to drown,
Call me a lawyer, ‘cause my doctor’s just a clown.
And I’ll hold you here in my arms,
I’ll keep you safe, girl, from harm,
Don’t know what I’m gonna do, don’t know where I’m going to,
Don’t know if I’m sick, or if I’m well.
I awake from a dream with a vision of you in my mind,
You look just the same, girl, escaped the passage of time,
I wash off the sweat and the tears and the grime,
But I can’t wash away the way that we’re intertwined.
I’ve left this town for an island where nobody knows,
Even when you’re missing, girl, you’ve got my soul exposed,
Like the wind in the trees, I hear your voice when it blows,
Send me a message, something I really want to know.

Antidote
01:36
|

|
When you’ve got too much
But it just isn’t enough
When you need to get some
Perspective
When you got what you want
But you’re still not satisfied
When something still just isn’t
Right
Well what can you do
Who can you talk to
Where can you go
Tonight
Somewhere in the distance
Somewhere out of sight
Something that could be your
Antidote

Chasing Glimmers
03:18
|
|||
|
I’ve been sailing chasing glimmers,
Of silver and of gold,
Diamonds fall like angels,
A wonder to behold.
This ship is sailing,
Across the seven seas,
This ship is sailing,
Away from my memories.
Yeah you know it wasn’t easy,
Taking a risk or two,
But now I have found treasure,
Chasing after you.
The past is broken open,
But I’m wearing my disguise,
There’s nothing that can stop me,
From sailing after my prize.

Cause and Effect
03:08
|
|||
|
Every time you push, I push back harder,
And every time you lie, I’ll hide the truth,
We would always argue, then hide our feelings,
Love just isn’t fun if it’s too smooth.
I don’t like the way that you treat me,
Because you know I won’t object,
You know some day this will all fall apart,
Baby, that’s just cause and effect.
Maybe it is true, that I’m using you,
But you know, you’re using me as well,
I would forgive any thing that you said,
You know that I am under your spell.
Is this a beginning, or is it all over,
Do we have the strength, to start again,
Some would say it’s foolish, going back to you,
But I say this is now and that was then.

Blackness
04:16
|
|||
|
There is more blackness,
Than you care to see,
There’s such a blackness,
Hanging over me,
It’s nothing new,
Nothing to be learned,
Deep in this blackness,
What can you discern?
Bring me to the temple,
Bring me to your home,
Bring me to the temple,
Where we can be alone,
Bring me to the mountain,
Raise me up inside,
Bring me to the pain,
That lives inside your eyes.
Fallen from a star,
Into the unknown,
Fell out of the brightness,
Landed on my own,
How to hide this loneliness,
How to hide despair,
How to find a path,
When you’re going nowhere?
I got your message,
I know where to go,
I know what you’re looking for,
Why you’re always alone,
Give me just one reason,
I’ll stay where I am,
But nothing will stop me reaching you,
If that’s what you demand.

Tell me what it’s like on the far side,
Tell me did you find what you were looking for?
When you left in search of something new.
Is there still that wine you liked,
And do the birds still sing?
On the far side of the blackness that swallowed the world.
Complications in the way we’d talk,
You always thought there should be something more,
Though you knew what you wanted you never said.
Can you still smile the way you used to,
And do you still have a reason?
On the far side of the blackness that swallowed the world.
Carved in stone your body calls to me,
But in flesh and blood you know my body is bound,
It’s just another feeling I have to fight.
Is the air clean and sweet to breathe,
Or does it taste like fire in your lungs?
On the far side of the blackness that swallowed the world.
Pages upon pages of books cannot explain,
They all lie open like a monument,
Just another altar to the pain you left.
Is there still the knowledge of forgiveness,
And is there still the knowledge of revenge?
On the far side of the blackness that swallowed the world.

Human Fly
02:52
|

|
I’m gonna metamorphose, you know I don’t wanna die,
I’m gonna metamorphose, yeah I’m a human fly.
When I was young I said I knew,
That one and one must make two,
But now it is so clear to me,
That it must all add up to three.
You know it isn’t hard to guess,
That your thoughts are quite intense,
And it would quite make me shudder,
But you know I’d rather be your lover.
Surprise me with an addiction,
To your shoulder-line definition,
Can’t keep my eyes away from you,
You know that you just look so cool.
