Part One
03:03
|

|
If the sun burnt out and the world grew cold,
And the rich took off to their planets of gold,
If our sweat and tears turned to crystal form,
I would hold you again until you were warm.

These Bones
05:43
|

|
These bones have left you nothing, nothing to hold on to,
These bones have left, and no one is left to care about you,
They'll always kick you when you're down, down without a clue,
They know just when you're feeling weak and they'll rip right through you.
These bones have left you (these bones),
And your blood runs cold (blood runs cold),
These bones have left you (these bones),
With no one to hold (no one to hold).
These bones have left you nothing, nothing to go home to,
These bones have left, and no one is left to care about you,
They know the places you'll be found and where you've been refused,
Where your voice in the dark's the only friend you know,
And they'll leave you beaten and bruised.
These bones have left you (these bones),
And your blood runs cold (blood runs cold),
These bones have left you (these bones),
With no one to hold (no one to hold).

Weathered Wolves
04:59
|

|
Tonight, you're lost in this haze,
Tonight, you're lost in a phase,
Tonight, you're lost where no light shows,
Tonight, you're lost where no one knows that you're gone, that you moved on.
It's dark again, go warn your friends,
We'll hunt them down till the night ends.
Sorry if we bare our claws,
We never meant to bring you harm,
We are just, we're just lost souls,
We are weathered, we're weathered wolves.
Tonight, lost in this dark place,
Tonight, never see another face,
Tonight, you're lost on the edge of the forest,
You're the prey, you're a tourist,
Tonight, we'll say.
It's dark again, go warn your friends,
We'll hunt them down till the night ends.
Sorry if we bare our claws,
We never meant to bring you harm,
We are just, we're just lost souls,
We are weathered, we're weathered wolves.
Sorry if we bare our claws,
Sorry if we bare our claws,
Sorry if we bare our claws,
Bare our claws today.

Parallel Universes
04:05
|
|||
|
I never wanted us to be like this.
Well words are like knives, they cut in syllables,
Like matter and antimatter, we've become so separable.
I never wanted us to be like this,
I never wanted, I never wanted this.
Thrown in space, glass roof and a metal bar,
Cigarette trace still there when I'm in the car,
Trash it all, trash it all, voices through a paper wall,
Trash it all, trash it all, thick skin don't call.
I never wanted this.
Like parallel universes in different strands of time,
This distance immeasurable, we're too far away.
I never wanted us to be like this.
Thrown in space, glass roof and a metal bar,
Cigarette trace still there when I'm in the car,
Trash it all, trash it all, voices through a paper wall,
Trash it all, trash it all, thick skin don't call.
I never wanted us to be like this,
I never wanted, I never wanted this.

Little White Lie
04:49
|
|||
|
Standing in the night, underneath the glass and light,
Where her love remains,
The pain doesn't fade, but it's a brighter shade of grey.
You're my little white lie (but do you know),
You're my little scare (how you make me feel?),
You're my little white lie,
For you I'll always be there, be there.
Glowing blue and white, caught within your line of sight,
Cut me like a knife,
But instead of the steel, it's the warmest touch I feel.
You're my little white lie (but do you know),
You're my little scare (how you make me feel?),
You're my little white lie,
For you I'll always be there, be there.
It's scary out there, much more than you can bear,
But I'll protect you, protect you my dear.
You're my little white lie,
You're my little scare.
You're my little white lie (but do you know),
You're my little scare (how you make me feel?),
You're my little white lie,
For you I'll always be there, be there.
You're my little white lie,
You're my little scare,
You're my little white lie,
And for you I'll always be there.
You're my little white lie,
You're my little scare,
You're my little white lie,
When it comes to you, I'll always be there.

What For
04:53
|
|||
|
What, what for?
I thought I got my rest,
I thought I was well-dressed when I entered the room,
Oh, sudden gloom,
And then you took a piece of me,
I said you took a piece of me with you, babe,
When you went away.
Oh, I can't bear to be alone, I keep looking at my phone,
As long as you're gone,
I can't bear this gentle pain, I feel sickened and my eyes strain,
Without your company it feels so wrong.
What, what for?
I've been waiting for a soul, but these arms I cannot hold,
But the air that you breathe, it keeps me warm,
And with a head full of lies and armed with guns and knives,
I'll be here in spirit by your side.
(I wanna say I'm in love)
I'll be here in spirit by your side
What, what for?
I sing the same old tune, one where I'm leaving you,
You know it's not your fault, it's true,
I sing the same old song, one where it's all gone wrong,
You know you've always been, always been so strong,
What for? (I wanna say I'm in love).
What for? (I wanna say I'm in love).

The Pier
07:42
|
|||
|
My senses intertwine, whose consciousness is mine?
When a flicker turns to a flame, does it feel the same?
Tell me what to blame.
But for now I spend all my time on the pier,
All my time, I spend all my time on the pier,
All my time, you'll find me here.
Find me waiting on the pier,
That other world is what I truly fear,
Where the sky is burning bright,
When gravity fails us all we'll join the stars tonight.
But for now I spend all my time on the pier,
All my time, I spend all my time on the pier,
All my time, you'll find me here.
Why won't you ever come back?
Won't you ever come back?
Won't you ever come back?
Why won't you ever come back?
I spend all my time (all my time),
All my time (all my time),
I spend all my time (all my time),
All my time (all my time).
I'll never leave, I'll always be right here at your side,
So when I disappear, no one will care, no one will mind,
I'll never leave, I'll always be right here at your side,
So when I disappear, no one will care, no one will mind.

This City
05:21
|
|||
|
The lights go down in the city tonight,
My soul is bound to the city tonight.
Streets of leather, buildings of bone,
I walk this city, this city alone,
I'm on my own, I’m on my own.
Streets of leather, buildings of bone,
I need you now more than ever before,
I'm on my own, oh.
No time to speak or remember what you said, I can't remember,
The spirits of this iron city want me dead, they want me dead,
No time to speak or remember what you said, I can't remember,
The spirits of this iron city want me dead, they want my head.
And the lights go out again.
Streets of leather, buildings of bone,
I walk this city, this city alone.
Streets of leather, buildings of bone,
I walk this city, this city alone,
I'm on my own (I'm on my own), I'm on my own (I'm on my own).
Streets of leather, buildings of bone,
I need you now more than ever before,
I'm on my own (I'm on my own), oh (oh).

Taking Control
04:32
|
|||
|
You want it all and now you fall.
My son, what have you done?
Your ego's taken control and your pride won't let it go.
My son, what have you done?
Where violence won't soothe your soul,
This silence won't release its hold, no.
You want it all but life can't give you that,
You want it all but they'll just take it back,
You don't have the strength to stand on both your feet,
You want it all, but you can't let it be.
My son, what have you done?
You've done regrettable things, it's true.
My son, what have you become?
You're my blood through and through.
When life's taking control, it's taking hold, it's taking its toll on you,
When life's taking control, it's taking hold, it's taking its toll on you,
My son, what will you do?
You want it all but life can't give you that,
You want it all but they'll just take it back,
You don't have the strength to stand on both your feet,
You want it all, but you can't let it be.

Walking With Machines
04:45
|
|||
|
Your voice is white noise.
Truth be told, she turns stars into black holes,
She caused our sun to fade and burn out cold,
Well once she gets a hold of your soul,
These diamonds will return back to coal.
Heart racing, knees shaking,
This emptiness a toll, a toll it's taken.
Anything you need she can control,
If you start to bleed she'll make you whole,
Walking with machines in the moonlight,
Metal beasts beyond your eyesight,
Have they broken the city street?
A crescendo of neon heat,
She'll be waiting where the water's blue,
She'll be waiting underground for you.
Truth be told, the skies have gotten cold,
She caused our sun to fade and grow so old,
Once she gets a hold of your soul,
These diamonds will return back to coal.
Heart racing, knees shaking,
This emptiness a toll, a toll it's taken.
Anything you need she can control,
If you start to bleed she'll make you whole,
Walking with machines in the moonlight,
Metal beasts beyond your eyesight,
Have they broken the city street?
A crescendo of neon heat,
She'll be waiting where the water's blue,
She'll be waiting underground for you.

If the sun burnt out and the world grew cold,
And the rich took off to their planets of gold,
If our sweat and tears turned to crystal form,
I would hold you again until you were warm.

The Ocean Owns Your Body
04:29
|
|||
|
You're a floating dead boy, with nothing left to destroy,
Just the water in your lungs, wished there by the ones you love,
You're a floating dead boy, with nothing left to destroy,
Now the darkness deep below is the only friend that you know.
You were never meant, meant to survive this,
You were never meant, meant to survive this,
You were never meant, meant to survive this,
You were never meant to survive.
You're a floating dead boy, with nothing left to destroy,
Just the water in your lungs, wished there by the ones you love,
You're a floating dead boy, with nothing left to destroy,
Now the darkness deep below is the only friend that you know.
The ocean owns your body,
The ocean owns your body,
The ocean owns your body to the end.
Demons come out to play when you're around,
Through clouds of thick smoke we hear no sound,
Demons come out to play when you're around,
Through clouds of thick smoke we hear no sound,
No signs we're going down.
You were never meant, meant to survive this (we're going down),
You were never meant, meant to survive this (we're all going down),
You were never meant, meant to survive this (we're going down),
You were never meant to survive (we're all going down).

Unhappy Woman
05:33

|
Ooh there's something burning in the air,
Ooh there's something burning in the air,
The fire's spreading everywhere,
Ooh the fire's spreading everywhere.
She's counting her time, she'll be just fine,
She's counting the day, come what may,
She's counting her time, she'll be just fine,
She's counting the day, come what may.
Stars explode, moons erode, and she waits there,
A few hundred million miles above the sea,
Stars explode, moons erode, and she waits there,
She waits there for me, she waits there for me.
Unhappy woman,
Unhappy woman,
Unhappy, unhappy woman,
And I am an unhappy man,
A few hundred million miles above the sea.
She knows it's ready when her eyes are almost open,
The moon is blue and dim, the tide is surely rushing in,
She knows it's ready when her eyes are almost open,
The thunder moves her skin, let's hope that she knows how to swim.
Unhappy woman,
Unhappy woman.
Ooh there's something burning in the air,
Ooh there's something burning in the air,
The fire's spreading everywhere,
Ooh the fire's spreading everywhere.

Favorite Lover
04:45
|

|
You,
My favorite lover,
Have been selling my memories like stars to be bought.
These stars, you were thinking,
Would be graves,
Graves for dead astronauts.
These stars,
These stars will reach you,
They're coming, they're coming down,
To drive your population,
Drive your population underground.
