Consider us your plaything
Consider us a hole
To throw your little hopes in
To waste your little thoughts
A good try though it's still not enough
A good try but you still don't evolve
Consider us a playground
A place you're safe from harm
Where everything's an option
Where no one is alarmed
In time you'll understand something's wrong
In time you'll see us gone... and so long
Not everything will be forever yours
We died waiting for you to evolve
Could I change your mind for once?
Redirect the mess you are?
I can tell you it's alright
I was just like you sometime...
If you want to dream the dream
I won't question anything
I won't be there when you wake
It'll be a lonely day
And the hole will close in time
And the playground won't be there
All your playthings will be old
When the monsters take control
I don't want to make you cry
I would never even try
I just tell you it's alright
I was just like you sometime...
A black hole of endless need

A Sting In The Tail
04:35
|

Was I meant to forgive or to hide in rage?
Was I meant to ensure or to bring you shame?
I can't fake my surprise, my enthusiasm
and I know you would do the same for me
The damage we survived is already done
All the blood that you spilled has begun to dry
I don't have any doubts, we are lost this time
and I know that from now on
I'm yours and you're mine
Sometime I will make things clear with you
Sometime I will do right by you
Sometime I'll control myself with you
Sometime when we haven't killed each other

Chocolate Cake

Give this man a bone
Do this one a favour
Make her feel like home
It's now or never, stick together
Something's gotta give
Bake a chocolate cake
Hum a song with us
Enjoy yourself another payday
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna move
No one's going away
Some things never change around here
I don't know it all
I'm as lost as you are
We don't need to talk
About the bloodstain on the doorstep
Something's gotta give
Bake a chocolate cake
Move on with your life
If you can move into the dirt
Though...
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna move
No one's going away
Some things never change around here
It's not a walk to take the edge off
No home, no friend, no plan at all
It's not a song to sing to children
It's not a place where dreams come true
I wish it could be something bigger
I wish it could be something more
I hope someday it's gone and buried
The wires, the mud, the "last resort"...
Never the sun will rise here
Always the sun will dry the land
Nothing has changed around here
Some people never leave this place
How can you be a part of this?

Maybe You'll Be There
04:48
|

Traffic hours on Sundays
Lesser clouds on dark days
And maybe you'll be there
And maybe you'll be there
Cynic words of children
Truths we've yet to listen
But maybe you're still there
But maybe you're still there
I think I know you
From underwater, not so long ago
You were fighting for air back then
And I was letting you drown
I was letting you be forgotten
I just wanted to ask...
Is it all better?
Do you recognize me now?
Is it possible,
that I could be anything more than just a disappointment to you?
I ask too much
I know...
This is not mine anymore
It was and always will be...
Your ocean,
Your oxygen,
Your oblivion.
It's all yours.
Like I used to be.
Babies drank the raindrops
They laugh when the world stops
When you're no longer here
When you're no longer here
Swimming down the fire sky
Flying on a whale's back
Cause maybe you'll be there
Cause maybe you'll be there
But you're never there
No, you're nowhere
You really are nowhere
You're swimming nowhere
You're flying nowhere
You're drowning nowhere
You're falling nowhere
You really are...
Nowhere

The Courtroom
02:49
|

I had to keep the mask on
I had to fall asleep
before I drew attention
before I made them see
that I was the one who
spilled the wine and
defiled their daughters
The party kept on going
The party always does
I tried to find my place in,
I walked through everyone
and not one talented, a poet,
a pioneer among them
The truth destroyed their faces
A cruel awakening
A shattered town before me
with a desperate need to condemn
and flattered as I was
I smiled and dreamt about you
Come just come again
and try again
old lover

I shall find you where they keep the poison
I shall find you where the lost souls live
I will search among the dying roses
I shall find you in the coldest seas
You can find me in the saddest novels
You can find me following the trains
You remind me how I always forget
You can save me but you never will
I don't know why you don't like the winter
I don't know anything about you
You live where nobody's really living
At the end of all beautiful things
At the end of all beautiful things

The Rude
03:15
|
|||
I should have nail down the shutters
You're breaking in through the smallest holes
Amazes me how you hold up
Amazes me how anyone does
Have Ι a reason to be rude?
Am Ι a cynic like I should?
Have Ι a Sunday afternoon?
Am Ι the ugly child of youths?
The secret way of attraction
I drunk you up in a bottle of scotch
Amazes me how I hold up
Amazes me how anyone does
Have Ι a reason to be cool?
Am Ι a listener that good?
Have Ι a Sunday afternoon?
Am Ι the ugly fool of youths?
And if I had to guess
I would just give up
It's a ton of shit I lack off
If i had a choice
I would give you up
It's a ton of shit I lack off
If Ι had to smile
to you one more time
Ι would spit my teeth out, you know...
And if Ι'm the rude one
I can live with that
It's a ton of shit I lack off

The Happy One
02:37
|

To cynically paint you (was it right?)
To remain so empty (was it right?
To typically lose ourselves
To grow old is such a boring job
The fire that burnt you (was it right?)
Did we ever care to? (was it right?)
I hope it's all over now
For all the wrong reasons we all live
So we can celebrate you now

Everything's Sad Here
03:38
|
|||
Have the tremors stopped yet?
Is there something we can do to help?
A word of love and history?
A friendly severed hand to touch?
Rivers are running backwards
And the sky has left the earth for good
Weeds broke into our bedrooms
And the pigeons stole your merry heart
I hope that after all he's somewhere out there
I hope you're not alone and you've found your way back
Isn't it sad to play and win?
But you were never listening
Everything's sad here
Everything's sad here
Years ago inside a dream
Tears of ghosts drowned you and me
Tears of ghosts drowned you and me

Where Problems Start
02:32
|
|||
I'm not a play that you should star
I'm not a healthy subject
I am the hole where problems start
I am the tongue of liars
I'm not a drink that makes you laugh
A little drop could kill you
A little fault of luck I am
You wouldn't ever think so
And if I told you
And if I let you see
Just what I am
You wouldn't believe me anyhow
I'm not the one to hang around
How could you be so careless?
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Another stayed inside it
A magic trick reveals itself
Unfortunately boring
I think you'll never understand
I'm done apologizing
And if I told you
And if I let you see
Just what I am
You wouldn't believe me anyhow
I'm really trying to let you down
Forgot the keys on purpose
I am the hole where problems start
Don't ever fall inside it
