I Wanna Leave
04:07
|

I wanna leave
I wanna leave
Something bout this air, cos I can't breathe
All this talking deafening me
All this laughter threatening me
I see my spaceship beckoning, beckoning
See these red-flecked, hen-pecked net curtains twitching
The smoke without the mirrors, it's burning not bewitching, there's nothing here for me
There's nothing here for me
Yeah see these fine-dining, night-driving masked classes fishing
From dizzy carousels I throw a penny while I'm wishing, turning tearfully
There's nothing here for me
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
Something bout this air, cos I can't breathe
Got no-one to say goodbye to, got no-one I'm gonna cry for
Gonna lose these memories, memories
Why do I care at all?
The scene's unbearable the more, the more you see it
I'm just a shadow on the wall, but I can see another world
Believe, believe, believe it
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
Something bout this air, cos I can't breathe
All these limits lessening me
All these minutes deadening me
Got my spaceship beckoning, beckoning
Beckoning, beckoning, I'll bury it all
Beckoning, in this place I don't belong
Gonna move this energy, energy
(Gonna choose these enemies, enemies)

Lorelei
04:39
|
|||
Ask me who I are, evolution bête noire
Ask me how I changed, smooth illusion viewed again
Ask me where I started at, the day I stumbled through the cracks
Lost and open to attack, your little ragdoll acrobat
Ask me and I’ll show you how, how to suffer and allow
Who I am, just ask me why
Lorelei, Lorelei
Hold that knife against my throat
Look into my eyes real close
Teach me how to lie, find a heart and crawl inside
Teach me how to fight, poisoner slip through the night
All the vices that I learned, all the sentences I served
I’ll teach you what I’m really worth
Lorelei, Lorelei
Hold that knife against my throat
Look into my eyes real close
See how deep the nightmare goes
Lorelei, Lorelei
Hold that knife against my throat
Look into my eyes real close
See how deep the nightmare goes
Hold that knife against my throat
Look into my eyes real close
The more you twist, the more you choke
See how deep the nightmare goes
(Lorelei, Lorelei)

Took the last train to the coast
And in the window I could see my ghost
Breathing words onto the glass
Any joy you feel, it never lasts
If I could know where the dead go
As they swing in the breeze
Feel the wind blow, pure as indigo
And wait for the tide to carry me home
Every time I’m getting dry
Like clockwork, a hero comes riding by
Now nothing else don’t weigh no more
It’s like someone, he heard my call
If it could be so easy
Would it matter at all?
Who would I be cheating?
Be cheating?
Each night I dream it again
A handsome stranger and he’s calling my name
God works in mysterious ways
But the Devil always pulls through
Who are you, dark author of grace and blasphemy?
This taboo you taught me, I guard it jealously
Is he your cruel enforcer, or are you one and the same?
Feels like my universe is falling into a cradle of flame
Take this emptiness inside
The one I pray to, oh, he hasn’t even tried
So won’t you purify and violate me
Vilify and validate my sins
I’ll give you everything
God works in mysterious ways
God works in mysterious ways
But the Devil always pulls through

Only Love Remains
04:27
|
|||
Kiss me goodnight, watching as the sun goes down
Form in my eyes, freezing as you turn around
I want you, this moment, for forever
It’s strange how we fear the things we treasure
Kiss me goodnight, watching as the sun goes down
Warm as the tide, centuries it throws around
It haunts me, this hunger for something better
I think I belong to a lost era
We are born in time to follow this parade
Leading to the end of beauty and of pain
Seas are closing in and washing us away
And do you really think that we are born again
Know that in the end -
Only love remains
Only love
Kiss me goodnight, watching as the sun goes down
Lost in my mind, heavy as I float around
I feel like I’m tied to something bigger
You and I, purified, when together
We are born in time to follow this parade
Leading to the end of beauty and of pain
Seas are closing in and washing us away
And do you really think that we are born again
Know that in the end -
Only love remains
Only love

Hurt the Ones You Love
03:23
|
|||
Times have changed from when we were new
And I was all you needed to live on
But now the life we share seems to be endlessly struggling
Times have changed from when I was young
And there were no wounds to wear
But now the secrets we share just lead to - feel you observing me
(Hurt the ones you love)
I feel you looking my way and I don’t know what to say
I never learned how to stay
I feel it slipping away, immovable terrain, a memory to erase
Keep on praying hard for rain or maybe the dirt will stain
But there’s no way that I’m gonna stay this way, staying here just to freeze me
Keep on praying hard for me, til maybe I’ll know what I need
But there’s no way that I’m gonna stay this way, staying here just to freeze me
(Hurt the ones you love)
I feel you looking my way and I don’t know what to say
I never learned how to stay
I feel it slipping away, immoveable terrain, a memory to erase
How are we ever meant to grow
We just sink each other when we’re low
How am I ever meant to know
When all I ever do is let things
(Hurt the ones you love)

Elixir of Life
03:24
|
|||
I see you look at me, pretty as I'll ever be
You've caught it crisp and clean, a moment in security
But behind the image, time's still moving, face distorting, worms are crawling
I hear them in the ground, waiting for me
Beauty is the highest prize
Beauty is the devil's bribe
He whispers softly, come inside, come inside, come inside
I've got the key to paradise
Sand stop falling, wheel stop turning
Stone stop rolling, sun stop burning
World stop spinning, night stop looming
Choose death, the real elixir of life
Choose death, the real elixir of life
The real elixir of life
I've got an enemy, it's hiding in my skin
For everything I gain, takes it away again
Why must we age just as we learn, fighting to keep all that we've earned?
And I'm jealous of this picture, cos it's two days younger than me

Left Me Here to Die
03:49
|
|||
It must have been easy to see me, pick me out of the colourless crowd
With the wide eyes of a dreamer, and the heart of an innocent child
It must have been easy to lead me, drop my tears into your well
When the wishes dried, with your lullaby, did you close your eyes?
When you left me here to die
You left me here to die
You left me here to die
If only I hadn't just stood there as you crushed my soft defence
But I grew up on Austen and Brontë and I never stood a chance
If only I could find the language, because no-one understands
What you took from me, how it's broken me, how I'll never heal
You left me here to die
You left me here to die
You left me here
Now there's no hope of redemption, well revenge is all I've got
And while you're sleeping the sleep of the wicked I'll be weaving a curse on the wind as I whisper
What you've got is a poor man's haul, not even worth my while
But I'm coming to take it all

Requiem
03:49
|
|||
Erase the sun, I'm taking everything
And when I'm done, I'll sing your requiem
I put a red X on your door, study every nightmare before
I take your safe space, make it unsafe
Just to watch you crawl
They say this dish is best served cold, and even better when there's ice in the soul
I wanted this for so long, see the way I held on
But now you just taste so old
I wonder what's the hue of your blood? Scarlet, crimson, cherry or rust?
Cerulean, azure, agaean, lapis, sapphire, navy, teal?
Bow before your queen, peasant! Pap, pap, pap, now I see it
So organise the services, cos every crystal ball agrees on this
Blood on snow, smoking guns, murderers
So kiss your loved ones goodnight, cos every tarot falls the same
Keep the oil burning bright to see me coming
And when I'm done, I'll throw away my gun
And when I'm done, I'll be the only one

Black Horse
04:29
|
|||
Knock on my window spectral predator, fly me away
Lock in the nightfall shadow soldier, devour the day
Above a halo spins, crown of this wretched crib
The nightingale's call, an eerie hunting horn
And in the morning
The bruise
Sunset, unwelcome guests tear off my dress
And when I wake I still feel the caress
Unwelcome muse Black Horse comes calling
His virtuoso hooves, and in the morning
The bruise
And in the morning I still feel the bruise

Another Life
03:55
|
|||
You spoke in whispers and metaphors, sounded similar to a sonnet I had heard but watered down
You had me reading between the lines, clearly undefined, it was costing all my time to work it out
You had a grip on my heart, you had it down to an art
You had me falling apart, you know it's true
You had a grip on my heart, but right from the very start I think I knew
In another life I'd still be waiting here for you
In another life I'd still be wasting all my youth, and I know
You'd make me feel so good and then you'd leave me in the lions' den
Yeah, I could only see the end
Sometimes unwelcome curiosity gets the best of me, and I wonder 'bout the things that might've been
Maybe I should be more hesitant, wait for evidence, til I knew exactly why I had to leave
You had a grip on my heart, I waited for your advance
I wanted you to show me something true
You had a grip on my heart, but right from the very start you never moved
So hold me close in soft disguise while broken mirrors prophesise
There's nothing but a shadow in your arms
In Ariadne's smothered voice, a lesson that the lover's choice
Will only lead to harm

Wingspan
03:14
|
|||
Drown the ground, I taste the hour, feel the power, like a rocket, pure energy, so far from gravity
Drown the ground, I taste the hour, feel the power, like a rocket, pure energy, so far from gravity
Out from the smoke of the fire where the change happened
I arrive like a bomb in the guise of a loose cannon
A feather in a hurricane
I fly so near the sun my shadow fades
I'm invisible
I'm invisible
'Til I'm there
Wear the air, light as a fairy, tread the weather, iridescent, evanescent, shimmering intangibility
Wear the air, light as a fairy, tread the weather, iridescent, evanescent, shimmering intangibility
Wallflower, I'm growing, unknown 'til I'm rising over
Tall poppy disguised in this body
Cut me down I'm opium
This wingspan spreads, venturing on
And someday may reach the song
That sings the singer, that tree
From which all beauty comes to be
