Girl 05:55
I know love comes and then it goes Its here today and gone tomorrow Something about this though Feels deeper than us both It feels like fate, I know thats hollow But if you could see this girl As she moves through the world The way she lights a room Then you would feel it too I know, oh no I know I'll fall back to my old habits, ways and demon days Worthless me Now worth something Worthless me, tell me I am worth something now to you If you could see this girl As she moves through the world The way she lights a room Then you would feel it too Its in the way she runs her fingertips along the brickwork of the wall It fills my soul with wonder, lets me see the beauty in the world Sometimes I feel so fucking jaded, going through the motions moving blind But when she runs her hands through my hair, it makes me feel alive Its her breath on my throat Its her soft little moans Its her grip on my neck like she'll never let go Its her claws in my spine As her fingers drag lines Our temples both touch as we lose grip of time Its the arch of her back And her shuddering gasps Its the way she crescendoes before her collapse When her eyes meet mine I escape from my mind My thoughts and my fears washed away by her tide If you could see this girl As she moves through the world Her grace all eyes follow As radiant she glows It in the way she runs her fingertips along the brickwork of the wall It fills my soul with wonder, lets me see the beauty in the world Sometimes I feel so fucking jaded, going through the motions moving blind But when she runs her hands through my beard, it makes me feel alive

Divide 04:24
I got some things I need to figure out Give me some time my love I got dark things I need to think about Give me some time alone I've been skirting along this great divide Between who I am and how I live my life Afraid to look down, to see inside My shadow's smothered, anima's quiet You made it sound so easy Its never felt so hard And I think, be who you feel And do what you love Be who it is you feel you are And do what you love I've been listening for a voice from the other side To give me guidance from the end of a life But I've heard no sound, I was so sure I was right I'll move in silence, there's nothing lost to find I'll shatter the glass of the visage of my past But its taking too long and I can never hear a word that you say When its all said and done and I count what I've won I will know that the only way to find happiness is to I had some things I had to figure out You gave me some time my love Now all these dark thoughts they keep weighing me down I think its best if I'm alone You made it sound so easy Its never felt so hard

Daydreams 05:30
Wise monk, he's burning on his pyre But a foolish monk if he's burning for me It flickers, for a moment I'm inspired But then I slip right back to daydreams I don't want to ask another question I don't want to think another thought Sick of telling myself it will all get better Playing hide and seek with my soul Getting high and seeking something more Come on I'm rolling I'm trying hard not to forget Young drones, with screens stuck to their eyes Self righteous ones, who one day will lead They preach change but their actions don't transpire Cynically I slip back to daydreams I don't want to ask another question I don't want to think another thought Sick of telling myself it will all get better For us life stuck floating on this rock Feeling we deserve all what we got Though hope aint hopeless We're lying to ourselves again I'm sighing, soon we will forget Tell me what did you think would happen In the end, tell me do you think it mattered And if you can't find your way, out of this space I don't know why you bothered To tell me Old me, with visions in his mind Holds knowledge of the path that we've endured I feel the darkness pressing from the sides I start to speak With no-one near I slip back to my daydreams

Vices 04:48
You cut a figure so elegant Speak sex as clear as the sea You clasp the hearts of near every man (You meet) Twirl them through fingers tipped green You've got a hold onto me Your wrath quakes rage something terrible No stone's as dark as your eyes Provokes lust deep down the devil in me You get a grip like a vice You've got a hold onto me I'll take all your love your hopes and your dreams And smash them mercilessly to smithereens Oh I am not who it is you think I am I'm naught but a tortured tusk of a man Ravaged by time space truth and belief Oh don't for one moment hoe think that you know me Lover you know, all that I am ever gonna be is the one who Breaks your heart, I told you from the start oh my sweet Lover you know, all that I am ever gonna be is the one who Breaks your heart, I'll break your heart Yeah you know that I will break your heart one day You beckon me to your grove Dragging that lake as you melt (Its been so long since I've felt) The warm pink primal envelope I'm afraid I can't contain my cells girl You gnash claw cry squirm plead writhe beg moan I plunge immersed in the ra Once our inner animals join We collapse back to our shells Its calling my name again I cannot resist, to succumb is bliss Though remorse awaits the end No matter what I get I'm condemned to craving more I'll take your love and smash it to make you see I am not who you think I am I'm a worthless husk of a man

Phantom 04:38
Foolish, simple, naive me I thought I could be a lion But I'm just a sheep I follow blindly Wander through my daydreams Through the shadows of my mind And tell me I'm not crazy This is normal, tell me lies Please, take me away from this space I cannot Leave, take it away, this lack of feeling in me I've got something to say but the silence won't let me Speak and this nameless, faceless phantom follows me Feelings coil inside me, thoughts of release no escape But I'm no more than a liar No more than a thief And its always been myself I've betrayed My heavy heart aches for love But fools gold seemed brighter in my dreams And I'll chain a soul made of light Just to feel her flames dying in my cage Wander through my daydreams Through the labyrinth of desires And tell me I'm not crazy This is normal, tell me lies

Stone 06:49
When you left my world, I existed desperate to shed my skin After all our work, I was left with something that I couldn't give To anyone but you When I sought nouvelle, all I knew revolved around trying to resurrect A sickly memory, of what its like for someone to spend time with me A girl as sweet as she With a fucked up boy like me I won't love, anyone ever again Broken once, this heart won't mend I won't love, anyone ever again Broke once, beyond repair How can I trust, you with my heart when nothing feels permanent I won't love, anyone ever again A voice inside me said Delve into the truth of who you are, peel back the mask and see what's beneath You will find what you've avoided is the very essence of that which you are When I heard that call, I curled and burrowed back into the cosmic fold As the moon spun weeks, (I couldn't let it go) I prised my grip from everything I'd claimed to know But instead of feeling free, I was still bound to me My I stayed shut, am I a lock built for death's key? When I clawed back from below I'd lost my youth, saw rubble strewn where once lay gold A saving seraph latched to me But all that I could think of was what it could be Is this wisdom, yearning ghost ache Where colours bleed and drain, leave grey, all vibrance fades She pleads, "What is it that you seek?" I lash, "To feed the beast in me that naught will sate" And I still have countless stones to bleed But only a lifetime's nights to do it on my own I leave a grey stone above me As proof of my existence in this world Its all I leave, as proof of me My legacy, amongst the weeds I won't love anyone ever again In life I hid, without the strength To trust someone and give my heart Create something permanent And now I won't love anyone ever again
