Three Word Title

Sunsets and Silhouettes

When the only comfort is your cage
You’ve wasted all the things that we had made
I’m satisfied the best of us is over

When you had your chance to make the best
Of silhouettes in the sunset
Instead you spent it wishing for some time on your own

You gave me only silence
I would have given everything
If that were what you wanted

You should have seen this coming
Long distance early warning
Hiding in the corner you just close your eyes and wait for it all to end
Nothing left to say you’re waiting for the next sunset

Sleeping with your head under the covers
And your fingers bleeding
Living in the memory of a moment was the
The last thing you recall

You gave me only silence
I would have given everything
If that were what you wanted
You could have asked for anything
But you were holding out
You should have seen this coming…

 

Line By Line

Line by line
They watch you compromise your vision once again
You try and try

It was easier this time, gave another chance away
Tall trees & heart disease, I never thought I’d see you here today
It’s just another broken fortune, a pointless game to play
So we trade stories about the things we never do or say, then turn away.

If I could dream the world away, find a way to make it safe
But I’m wide awake, I just can’t close my eyes
If I could sleep my life away and throw it all into the void
Just close my eyes

Inside the puzzle of your mind something begins to overflow
Bad dreams and unforeseen distortions of a life you used to know
So lets pretend that it all happened, we can all enjoy the show
Constructed memories of all the places that you never got to go

Don’t take the time they’ve given you
To undermine your point of view
Now there’s still time for everything
Please don’t turn away

If I could dream the world away, find a way to make it safe
But I’m wide awake, I just can’t close my eyes
If I could sleep my life away (let a lifetime slip away)
And close my eyes

 

Frame By Frame

Facing the fire
You’re nothing but you’re everything to me
Static desire
Force feeding your fatal remedy
Airwave corrupted
I’m choking but I’m begging for more
Thoughts interrupted
We’re wired
We’re wired

Time spinning round
We’re watching, but nothing’s getting through
So hard to slow down
It’s viral, infection overdue
Head fills with noise
Can’t hear you, not sure I wanted to.
Slave to the cause
We’re wired
We’re wired

Just tell us what you’re thinking
And we’ll pretend we understand
It’s easy to see that you’re killing us frame by frame
So sell us what you’re feeling
So we’ll know what to feel once again
Watching us die as we’re all hypnotised in the end
Dying frame by frame

Something buried in our minds
Something buried in our past
Something buried in our scars
That we hoped would last
Can’t help watching the point of impact
The car crash, the train wreck, in our hands
Can’t help watching the final moments
It’s just the point of it all

You’re pushing me over the edge
You’re pushing me over the edge

 

Belong To Me

I take my time as I blur the line
Between what is mine and what’s left behind
You become entwined in a slow decline
Where you wake to find it was all a lie

So you’re fine today but you’ll lose your way
And I’ll crash and collide into you
And then you’ll find all the walls you’re behind will not hide you

I’ll feel you stir when I take my turn
But you’ll never learn until you return
To the place you were before you got burned
And it’s not the hurt, it was all you were

And you’ll find one day when you’ve lost your way
I will crash and collide into you
And then you’ll find all the walls you’re behind will define you

In time you will change, in time you will feel it
And the colours you see will set you apart
And you’ll know
That it’s real
When you say you belong to me

Dreaming awake
(wake up we’re here)
Here at the end of the line
So walk away
(way too far gone)
Gone are all your excuses

Desperate and vacant
Blinded and naked
Broken and shaken
Slowly awaken
Rising and falling
Stumbling and crawling
Trying to open your eyes

I take my time as I blur the line
Between what is mine and what’s left behind

In time you will change, in time you will feel it
And the colours you see will tear you apart
And you’ll know
That it’s real
When you stay and belong to me

 

Do Not Resuscitate

If you preach what you believe
You’’re much blinder than you seem
Look what you’’ve become

Another fear every day
To keep the questions at bay
A temporary distraction
Bury your head in the sand
Pretend you don’t understand
Say it’s an overreaction

Can you feel the tide?

Now you’re lost in the world inside your head
‘Cause it’s cold outside and it’s raining
Realise there is time and it’s not too late
Your resolve was strong but it’s failing
Get out while you still can

Haven’t we been here before?
Haven’t we fought the same war
Heading in the same direction
Invent the truth as you go
And hope we’ll blindly follow
The path to your re-election

Can you feel the tide turning against you?
Yearning for something more than the future that you promised us

Now you’re lost in the world inside your head
‘Cause it’s cold outside and it’s raining
Realise there is time and it’s not too late
Your resolve was strong but it’s failing
Get out while you still can

I’ll watch you jump
I’ll watch you take the step and hit the ground below
I’ll watch you cut
I’ll watch you take the knife and let the blood flow
I’ll watch you choke
I’ll watch you tie the rope and kick the chair away
I’ll watch you pull the trigger
And I won’t lift a finger

 

If I Could

Saw you waiting there in the sunlight
Were you even sure that I’d thought things through
About what I mean to you
About what I need to do

Thinking in my sleep gets me nowhere
If this is out of reach, I guess I’ll just grow
I think that’s all I know
I think that’s all I need to know

There has got to be something more
How’d we ever get here so soon
And if I said what you wanted to hear just to keep you
Would it be true?

So you’ll keep waiting
While I find my way
Until everything I say
Sounds like an old cliche

And I’ll keep trying
To enjoy the view
To see all anew
To see it like you do

Always remain in sight
And you’ll remain inside
You’ll be the reason I’m fine
And I’ll remain alive
To stay by your side, and I
I will do anything you want
And I’ll be everything you need

That’s all I’ll ever need to know
And I’ll only ever need you there
Now when I say what you wanted to hear it will be true
There has got to be something more
How’d we ever get here so soon?
Now when I say what you wanted to hear it will be true

 

Lost In Transit

You know I keep fighting the way that I’m wired
But I know I’m not the man I could be
Like the faithful that find one more fact to deny
It’s the means to an end that I need
Naked in front of the crowd
It’s no different to say it out loud
So leave me behind, I know what you hide

You can burn my eyes
But I still won’t feel it

In truth, I’m dying to feel alive
Lost in transit, I’m wasting my time
If you bothered to ask, I’d lie
But I’m tearing my wings off to fly

Seconds to go I would feel alive
Feel the wild of the world is awake
A small piece of home cutting into the cold
Like the morning cuts into a dream

Punching holes in the wall I’m becoming the fear in your eyes
And the demons are haunting me, hunting me
Fragments of light when I’d rather be blind
Where the edges of reason are bound to collide

You can burn my eyes
But I still won’t feel it

In truth, I’m dying to feel alive
Lost in transit, I’m wasting my time
If you bothered to ask, I’d lie
But I’m tearing my wings off to fly

And truth is not what I thought I’d find
Disengaging and falling behind
And you, how did you get so blind?
When I’ve been tearing my wings off to fly

Punching holes in the wall I’m becoming the fear in your eyes
And the demons are hunting me, haunting me
Fragments of light when I’d rather be blind
Where the edges of reason are bound to collide

Hypocritical fool but I’m lifting my sights
Just a small piece of home I can hold to me, hold to me
I’d take it all back to make up what I lack
But I’m finding out there’s no point hoping for that

As the light turns to grey but refuses to die
And it’s hard to hear who’s left to call to me, fall to me
Last one in sight as you’re waving goodbye
If you’re waiting to ask then I probably lied

 

In My Head

It’s all the same to me
‘Cause I’m not who I used to be
An empty shell, a wishing well
Of misplaced sympathy

Finding it hard to stray from the known
Making the hollow a place to be warm
Open up just enough
To tear me apart, call it art

It’s all the same to me
‘Cause I’m not who I used to be
An empty shell, a wishing well
Of misplaced sympathy

And in the end you’ll see
That I’m not who I appear to be
The blood on my hands
Is all in your head

Hiding scars
Is not so hard
As long as you know
That anything goes

It’s all the same to me
‘Cause I’m not who I used to be
An empty shell, a wishing well
Of misplaced sympathy

And in the end you’ll see
That it’s all the same to me
And we’ll pretend, that you my friend
Can have it all for free

 

Bullet In Winter

Stopped breathing, stopped talking
Barely knew what hit me
Did you find some comfort
In the safety of routine?
Can’t shake this old feeling
Memories in cages
There’s no reason for staying
It’s time to burn these pages

Time to get out of here

It’s been too long between heartbeats
But I’ve made my decision
Safe to say we could have walked away
But I didn’t want to listen

And I thought that I could tell you
Of the things I kept inside
And you’d smile and nod your head
As if you knew the reasons why
And we’d try to make some sense of it
While we burned our lives away
But it doesn’t make much difference to me now

Time to get out of here

Cut your face out from my mind
But there’s always someting else left to remind
And this bridge we built to nowhere
Was crossed before we got there
And no one’s getting out of here alive

Stopped breathing, stopped feeling
Never knew what hit me
Forever a warning
Winter always coming

Time to get out of here
