every face i see will die
and every memory through my eyes will end with me
every bridge comes to an end
and every lover foe or friend will end with me
i will go away don't fret and i'll no longer pose a threat
to your plus mind
sometimes a weight's an overload a rupture tears apart the road ahead of me
tired and tired and tired i feel
i no longer care if i reveal how void i am
it's so hard to maintain a front i now feel free to lose the brunt
that's weighed on me
i will go away don't fret and i'll no longer pose a threat
to your plus mind
sometimes a weight's an overload a rupture tears apart the road ahead of me

Please Come Home
03:33
|
|
||
I without you
an equation that is less than minus zero
i don't like to shut my eyes too long
there are dreams i don't ever want to relive
please come home
i don't wish to keep you forever
just please come home
i don't wish to wait here forever
i don't care to wait until tomorrow
tomorrow's promise often lies
the sky is clear
i can see for miles and miles around me
the sky feels blue
i prefer to feel you beside me
an open wound keeps us from healing
broken skin and poison cells within
please come home
i don't wish to own you forever
just please come home please come home
just please please come home
just please please come home
please please please come home
please please please come home

Charlotte And The Plague
03:51
|
|
||
in the year of 1327
i curse my eyes when i see dead heaven
the black death eats away at bodies
life squeezed out of breath
blood squeezed out of stone
sickly decay
it's Charlotte i bury today
in the year of 1327
from the North York moors to Jurassic Devon
all along the watch tower the reaper
whispers name by name
a dust storm blows my way
and wind brings decay
it's Charlotte i bury today

I Keep A Photo Of You
02:46
|
|
||
I keep a photo i keep a photo of you
a frozen moment a frozen moment of you
these memories are bitter sweet to me
these memories are bitter sweet to me
i look at your face i look at your face with me
a distant visage a fading visage with me
these memories are bitter sweet to me
these memories are bitter sweet to me
i keep a photo i keep a photo of you

Your Death Kiss
04:09
|
|
||
love is you love is me
and if it ends let it be
i just can't think like this
i won't forget your death kiss
i can't even compromise just to feel good
oyster grey alice blue
flat colours in my room
doleful shapes on the wall
this game doesn't interest me at all
i can't even compromise just to feel good
love is you love is me
and if it ends let it be
i just can't think like this
i won't forget your death kiss
i can't even compromise just to feel good

the sedative is wearing off
and clarity feels sharp
a stranger's voice speaks in my head
i recognize as mine
talk and talk and talk and talk
and talk and talk to me do it now
talk and talk and talk and talk
and talk and talk to me do it now
the sedative is wearing off
it's ugly when there's light
a drop of blood upon an eyelid
a love a stain a blot a ruin
talk and talk and talk and talk
and talk and talk to me do it now
talk and talk and talk and talk
and talk and talk to me do it now

Now Or Never
03:02
|
|
||
It's now it's now or never
to lose this weight and tether
to free my hands to free my head
to forgive the mess i've said
regrets are useless time ill spent
i'd rather end up nowhere with you
than to be somewhere without you
and i'd rather tell out loud
the things i've done which i'm not proud
than to think that you don't love me
i don't care if I'm nowhere with you
i'm in pain to be somewhere with out you
and each morning is the same
everything seems drab and plain
and i bore you to go on and on
it's now it's now or never
to let go of this weight and tether
now or never now or never
it's now it's now or never

Without You
04:03
|
|
||
i walk up to your eyelids and lift your torpid head
i look upon your white face i want to make you care
the streets are full of petrol you can smell it in the air
like incense in a church nave this is the world in which we stand
this is the world in which we stand
without you without you without you without you
without you without you without you without you
your walk is crestfallen and gravity sucks your eyes
in a belladonna tee shirt i want to make you care
the street continues humming past an alcove of despair
we walk up to a cross road this is the world in which we stand
this the world in which we stand
without you without you without you without you
without you without you without you without you

Some Of Us Are Like This
04:08
|
|
||
why would there be love
when there is nothing here but greyness?
i have no faith in hope and i don't hope for faith
some of us are like this
cross the great divide the affirmation of acceptance
i don't hope for faith and i have no faith in hope
some of us are like this
why should there be love
when i don't care for its fulfillment?
i'm alright come what may i'm in my place of cold warmth
some of us are like this

Something I Can't Kill
03:45
|
|
||
i do not believe in death i won't be around to know i'm gone
everything has beauty but not everyone can see perfection's false
let me see you when you're near you are something i can't kill
let me see you when you're near you are something i can't kill
such a sense of emptiness an absence of something crucial missing
from still life to a jumper's death it's now all streamed and boring me to death
let me see you when you're near you are something i can't kill
let me see you when you're near you are something i can't kill

and we'll both be gone
on a fine mediterranean marble
i want to see you see you laid out for me

Rachel's coming home and i'll make the room for her
Rachel's coming home i'll fix the room for her

The Moon Is Red
03:12

do you remember the first time?
yes i remember the first time
do you remember the first time do?
and now my brain gets tired
the machine inside breaks down
and now my brain gets tired
the machine inside breaks down
remembering you
and the moon is red blood drops on my head
and everyone who dies cut up by the stars in the sky in the sky
and the moon is red blood drops on my head
and everyone who dies cut up by the stars in the sky in the sky
do you remember the first time?
yes i remember the first time
do you remember the first time?
