BIRDS OF PARADISE
03:23
|
|

Lately I can't catch my breath
Visions I can't forget
Keep calling me to the depths
Like a distant frozen moon
Floating in the black sky
The light's been hard to come by
Balanced on a razor's edge
A prayer before every step
A prayer before every step
Silent, high above our heads
A bird that does not sing
Watches over everything
Is this what you meant by fear of god?
Always on the run from ever circling wolves
A cold blue light from a blood red sky
Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise

BLOOD IN THE WATER
03:45
|
|

Bright lights
Tunnel vision
Talking back to the television
Main-line
The white shadow
Black flame
What's underneath this tableau
Kill the lights and lock the door to my cage
Feels better when there's nothing to save
Eating dust
Breathing ashes
Something's stirring
In the darkness it dances
There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
For all we are
And never were
Raise a glass to the delicate future
Was it all just a game?
Russian roulette
Light your cigarettes
You ain't seen nothing yet
There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
Can't sleep
Can't wake up
Gonna drink my blood till it fills them up
Can't sleep
Can't wake up
My god
What have we done?
We've been chasing something we can't outrun
Can't sleep
Can't wake up
There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
You get a taste for it
You get a taste for it

DOTTED LINES
03:43
|
|

Now that we’ve split ourselves in two
Now that we’re heading for disaster
Seems like there’s nothing left to do
But try to get there faster
These dotted lines
Cut me right down the middle
These dotted lines
Cut me right down the middle
I’m making no advances
I’m in a scene that just repeats
So many second chances
So many times I’ve tried to
Change my shape
Create the illusion of a
Second face
Play back all the tapes and watch me
Fade away
Throw it all into the fire
It always ends this way eventually
Lock the door swallow the key
These dotted lines
Cut me right down the middle
These dotted lines
Cut me right down the middle
These dotted lines
Cut me right down the middle
These dotted lines
Cut me right down the middle
These dotted lines

FALSE LIGHT
04:34
|
|
||
Beneath a hologram sky
Wrong side of town
Electric sun in my eyes
Burning me down
I’m wide awake
It gives
It takes
Feel the digital daybreak
Wash over you
Cures you of your heart ache
Reds for your blues
Dancing ‘round the fire
The same but brand new
Plugged in and tuned out
Smoke pouring from our mouths
I’m wide awake
It gives
It takes
Awake but
Awake but always dreaming
Alive but
Can’t quite recall the feeling
Beneath a hologram sky
Electric sun in my eyes
I feel my wild heart beating
I feel the false light pouring in

NOTHING'S SHOCKING
04:43
|
|
||
Can't shake the feeling
That no one's watching
No grand design
Just the lines we're drawing
No one is shocked
Cause nothing's shocking
We stare into the abyss
I threw myself into the looking glass
A million pieces of the past slipped through my hands
The sands are shifting
It all moves so fast
I had my back to the waves
I wasn't ready for it
I twist
I burn
I shake
I forget my own shape
I bend
I sway
I break
But I can taste it
I feel it in my bones
Still further from the flame
I'm taken by the waves
I shift
I blur
I fade
But I can taste it
I feel it in my bones
Some times it feels like
Tight rope walking
Nothing below
So we just keep on falling
The wrong side of a velvet rope
Always making sure I don't get too close
I threw myself into the looking glass
A million pieces of the past slipped through my hands
The sands are shifting
It all moves so fast
I had my back to the waves
I wasn't ready for it
I wanted something
And I wanted it pure
No cloak and dagger
No two way mirrors
I see it in the distance
Glistening and clear
I try to touch it and it disappears
I had my back to the waves
I twist
I burn
I shake
I forget my own shape
I bend
I sway
I break
But I can taste it
I feel it in my bones
Still further from the flame
I'm taken by the waves
I shift
I blur
I fade
But I can taste it
I feel it in my bones

LIFE TAKER
03:52
|
|
||
You were not always like this
Turned up to 12
With state of the art fears
Making a killing
Armed to the teeth
You're always on the hunt for some quick release
Habitual creatures stuck on repeat
Violence in the name of keeping the peace
But you still think you're driving this machine
You're living the dream
It's just a cage within a cage
A house divided
It's just a cage within a cage
A death by misadventure
It's just a cage within a cage
You're running in dark circles
One look at you
It's painfully obvious
You pay a heavy price
You die a little every time you take a life
Got your bullet proof bible
Got your bloody crown
Got your finger on the trigger when there's no one around
But you still think you're driving this machine
Kid, what do you mean?
It's just a cage within a cage
A house divided
It's just a cage within a cage
A death by misadventure
It's just a cage within a cage
It's like I never knew you
I'd walk right by you on the street
And I know if I let you
You'd make a killer out of me
Cause there's a new life taker born every day
It's so hard to watch but you can't look away
There's a new life taker born every day
There's a price to rebel
There's a price to obey
There's a new life taker born every day
There's a new life taker born every day
There's a new life taker born every day
There's a new life taker born every day

THROW THE KNIFE (AGAIN)
03:57
|
|
||
It’s going down under cover
Hands bound at the ivory altar
Comes as no surprise
Just close your…
Dead in the eyes since the first taste
Thriving in decadent decay
I’ve been biting my tongue
I’ve been drinking the blood
But now I’m getting sick of that sweet taste
You just sink your teeth
If it moves it bleeds
Must be out of your mind to commit such a crime
Must be out of your
Out of your
Out of your mind
You just close your eyes
Then you throw the knife
You just close your eyes
Then you throw the knife
White hand with a
White glove on
Just reflex
No love lost
We’re doing it by the numbers
Comes as no surprise
Just close your…
Dead in the eyes since the first taste
Writhing in decadent decay
Now there’s blood on the knife
And you’ve taken a life
I guess you’ve gotten used to that sweet taste
You just sink your teeth
And you drink it deep
Must be out of your mind to commit such a crime
Must be out of your
Out of your
Out of your mind
You just close your eyes
Then you throw the knife
You just close your eyes
Then you throw the knife
My god
This changes everything
My god
How could this happen?
My god
This changes everything
My god
How could this happen?

My god
Since last we spoke I’ve waited
I watched you fall away
Truth is
I never saw it coming
I wish I could stay
I wish I could stop everything
I wish I could stay
I wish I could stop everything
My god
You really had us going
You blew us all away
You said
You’ve gotta keep ‘em guessing
I wish you would stay
I wish I could stop everything
I wish you would stay
I wish I could stop everything
Somehow
I lost my grip
I’m falling
Through everything
I’ve ever experienced
I’m drifting
Drifting away
It all keeps spinning faster
Drifting away
It all keeps spinning faster
Drifting away
It all keeps spinning faster
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away

MEET YOUR MAKER
04:04
|
|

Something’s been done
That can’t be undone
Let the trumpets sound
Let the horsemen come
Pulled back the curtain
To reveal no one
It’s just lions and tigers
And money and guns
Fast as you can
You can’t outrun
The setting sun
Thought it was over
But the end has just begun
Don’t look now
We’re going down
Fast as you can
You can’t outrun
The setting sun
Thought it was over
But the end has just begun
Fast as you can
You can’t outrun
The setting sun
Thought it was over
But the end has just begun
We’re going down boys
It don’t look pretty
We’re going down boys
It don’t look pretty
We’re going down boys
It don’t look pretty
We’ll spread our ashes
All over this city
We’re going down boys
It don’t look pretty
We’ll spread our ashes
All over this city
Look out!
Fast as you can
You can’t outrun
The setting sun
Thought it was over
But the end has just begun
Thought it was over
You can’t run
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Thought it was over
You can’t run
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Thought it was over
You can’t run
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

NO DEVIL, NO DETAILS
05:25

I know it ain’t over yet
I flick the ash from my electronic cigarette
Will I always miss the real thing
Or will I forget?
Will I forget?
Is the whole thing a test?
I place the weights
One by one upon my chest
Closer to god
Closer to death
Shortness of breath
And now
The ground is shaking hard
And I’m running in the dark
Falling apart
Still the problem persists
It makes me sick
But still I clench my fist
Are we twisting this knife just to prove that we exist?
I mean how could we resist?
Then the telephone sings
A familiar voice from inside the machine
It whispers in my ear
We were never really here
We were never really here
Yeah I saw the whole thing
Like a video game
I was frozen in place
Waiting to be erased
Brought me down to my knees
Smell of wet concrete
The city skips and repeats
The city skips and repeats
And now
The ground is shaking hard
And I’m running in the
And now
The ground is shaking hard
And I’m running in the dark
