Run…to you, on the eve of my destruction penning thoughts of lust contention
Until…you give in, to the whims of my affection smitten hearts move one direction
Breath in your framework painted in the eventide
Taste of your fragrance on my lips is left behind
Senses in motion contradict the paradigm
Run…to you, betraying faith and reason breaking ties to quench this feeling
Until…you give in, to the pain of my affliction in a darkened room submission
Breath in your framework painted in the eventide
Taste of your fragrance on my lips is left behind
Senses in motion contradict the paradigm
Skin…on skin, silhouette of misconception headed fast for your collection
Until…you give in, on the eve of my destruction smitten hearts move one direction
Breath in your framework painted in the eventide
Taste of your fragrance on my lips is left behind
Senses in motion contradict the paradigm
Breath in your framework painted in the eventide
Breath
Just breath
Run

Pay for play is everywhere, wait to see how you will fare
Aspire to be… all you see
Can't find a window you can't find a door
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you
Won't be a message that's sent from above
Because you won't hear the call in your ear that's burning
Won't find a window you can't find a door
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you
Savoire-faire is everywhere, contradict me if you dare
Aspire to be… all you see
Can't find a window you can't find a door
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you
Won't be a message that's sent from above
Because you won't hear the call in your ear that's burning
And when you lose it all, there's no one else to blame for your fall
Read the signs upon their face, watch to see what will replace
You and me… all we see
Can't find a window you can't find a door
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you
Won't be a message that's sent from above
Because you won't hear the call in your ear that's burning
Can't find a window you can't find a door
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you
Won't be a message that's sent from above
Because you won't hear the call in your ear that's burning
Can't find a window you can't find a door
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you
Won't be a message that's sent from above
Because you can't find the key to the world that turns you on

Special Misery
02:57
|
|||
|
There's a crowded place inside my head where something’s wrong
An old man drags his nails down the walls until I find
A bit of peace of mind from this iron life and all the voices that I hear in my head
Welcome to this place of misery let me be your guide tonight
I will tip my hat for all to see the darkened worlds beneath collide
And yes there's no escaping from me from all the places that you see through my eyes
We're always watching there is no escape
You can't ignore us for we are many
We'll never let you go you need us
Come one blind faith take a hold of me, lead me on to Marys room
Keep me safe from special misery, put me down to see some light
Then find this peace of mind in this world sublime without the voices that I hear in my head
There's a crowded place inside my head where something’s wrong

Rakin' Leaves
04:48
|
|||
|
One by one they tell me how I should be breathing lately
They talk too much 'bout things they never knew and never understood
And now I'm rakin' leaves from seasons that have past
The wind and rain could carry memories that last
Simple pleasures detour everyone from going somewhere
To think the wasted time of day we never ever can replace
And now I'm rakin' leaves from seasons that have past
The wind and rain could carry memories that last
Show me things that I can get or be in just a few short years
Man don't talk of peoples pride or about their never ending golden years
And now I'm rakin' leaves from seasons that have past
The wind and rain could carry memories that last

Mortality Curve
04:02
|
|||
|
In my mind, I can see myself in the mirror
It's my face, unknown to me but getting clearer
Am I the image, revealed in glass or someone thinner
My alter ego, is chained behind these eyes of winter
So cold… So cold… So cold
So cold… So cold… So cold
I can't remember, the time of day won't someone whisper
Tell me its day, or is it night I fear which one comes quicker
Am I the image, revealed in glass or someone thinner
My alter ego, is chained behind the eyes of winter
So cold… So cold… So cold
So cold… So cold… So cold
So cold… So cold… So cold

Fine Young Man
02:36
|
|||
|
It takes a fine young man with a whole lot of sympathy to sit with somebody like you
And it's this same fine man who would share in your empathy if not for the shimmer of a clue
Liquidation of your assets, liquidation of my stuff too
There's a fine young man with a plan in the company but doesn't have a thing to do
But this self righteous man has in mind small catastrophe and steps up to the left of what's due
Liquidation of your assets, liquidation of my stuff too
It takes a fine young man who is versed in philosophy to weed through the trinkets you spew
So on a fine young day he will make a big play for you if not to get the better of you
Resurrection of ideas, resurrection of my soul too
Condemnation for your actions, liberation of my thoughts too

Not Quite True
03:22
|
|||
|
That time when you were young and not afraid to speak your mind
Recall what you had said, 'bout doing things another way
Peace hope and liberation trashed feelings for the things you covet
Not quite true but its close enough to pass for news these days
And I know, it cannot be the same
Do you wanna make it harder than our failed yesterdays
Divided among thieves every day
Conquered by fear every way
Tattooed with their mark so you can pay
Next time when you get stuck and need someone to pull you out then
Remember when you spoke of righteous glories, endless clover
Cheap words as consolation big statement of eclectic wisdom
Not quite true but its close enough to pass for news these days
And I know, it cannot be the same
Do you wanna make it harder than our failed yesterdays
Divided among thieves every day
Conquered by fear every way
Tattooed with their mark so you can pay
Divided among thieves every day

Good Days
02:57
|
|||
|
Good days are gone again, some things just never change
Black clouds have come my way, how great I feel today
And I know, there's a better place for me
Each day I'm just another casualty
As I walk ten thousand miles of misery, I see… I see
Hope burned by decadence, some people won't complain
Dead children want their say, while their numbers grow each day
And I know, there's a better place for me
Each day I'm just a social refugee
As I walk ten thousand miles of misery, I see… I see
Good days are gone again, some people won't complain
Black clouds have come my way, and their numbers grow each day
And I know, there's a better place for me
Each day I'm just another casualty
As I walk ten thousand miles of misery, I see… I see
Uh, good days

Wednesday

Seems like yesterday we broke mothers fine glass
All of the things that meant so much, could never be replaced
Don't mention Wednesdays story cause nothing really happened there that day
Some of things she said weren't true, but struck you all the same
I never thought they'd find me, hiding from these lies
I never thought they'd catch me
Once in a while I look outside the boundaries of my space
I close my eyes and it's so clear, some things I even taste
I never thought they'd find me, hiding from these lies
I never thought they'd catch me
Don't mention Wednesdays story cause nothing really happened there that day
Much of the things she said weren't true, but held you all the same
Don't mention Wednesdays story I told you nothing happened there that day
All of the things she said weren't true, but struck you all the same

Mr. Pederson

Thank you Mr. Pederson for making me your friend
Your widely sentimental ways may someday be your end
Instead of cursing pictures of my not so chequered past
I think I'd rather take the time to let them go at last
I can see the thoughts escaping from your mind
I try to pull them down but then you say you've lied
I scream you won't relent you tell me all is fine
I can't explain the process am I blind
Thank you Mr. Pederson you've made me understand
The things that I don't do in time much like holding on sand
Instead of building bridges out of pleasures dying fast
You tell me that it might be time to re-arrange the cast
I can see the thoughts escaping from your mind
I try to pull them down but then you say you've lied
I scream you won't relent you tell me all is fine
I can't explain the process am I blind
Thank you Mr. Pederson for making me your friend
Your widely fundamental ways may someday be your end
