Rooftops

I think I know when the moment is right
But all I do is laugh out of spite
Everything has come to a head
Can’t see the green from the red
I drift around and ignore all the evidence
Think I’ll find a way to say what I want
But everything is twisted and turned
Just ignore what I learnt
I stand here, shouting from the rooftops
You stand there, smiling at them
We don’t care, and there’s no way of knowing
If it’s hurting again
Every moment that I want to embrace
Is tied to a tail that I’m trying to chase
There’s a fire in the soul that can’t make up its mind
And I try to break away from the line
We know in our hearts that we really should care
About the rain, it’s the pain that we all have to share
Take my head from the sand and open my eyes
I’m just waiting for this ocean to rise

Flow

One by one the days are passing by
Wind and clouds are flowing from the sky
At the crack of noon we stumble bleary-eyed
A new adventure opens up our minds
The sun beats down and bakes the earth and trees
The summer fruits are falling with the leaves
Hopes and plans are flowing with the wine
Our fears become suspended with the time
I know it’s just a passing phase
We have to walk in line
Remember when we leave here
We’ll be running on the edge of time

Fire
02:40

Fighting fire with fire
Is this now the only way?
It’s taken to the wire
Is it for us all to pay?
There’s no compromise
Again and again it’s killing me
I don’t want to try
Where is all this going to lead?
Risking it all again
We throw our hats into the crowd
This close to the line
There has to be no room for doubt
There’s no need for lies
Something is not reaching me
Everything she tries
Where is all this going to lead?
Fighting fire with fire
Is this now the only way?
It’s taken to the wire
Is it for us all to pay?

The Weaver

Rising quickly into the shallow skies
See how slowly the yellow river lies
The sound of angels falling out of time
Life is short but so’s the borderline
Everything that I had hoped to say
Paints a picture that won’t fade away
It’s your nemesis run out of time
You weave the dreams and think it’s fine
It’s the genesis of all the crimes
We cannot run away
You hunt for stars at night to fill your day
And stay unmoved by the image on display
You think you’re breaking free from all your pride
Sitting there alone you can’t decide
Everything that I had hoped to say
Paints a picture that won’t fade away
It’s your nemesis run out of time
You weave the dreams and think it’s fine
It’s the genesis of all the crimes
We cannot run away

Embryonic

Is anything coming into the frame?
Are they still searching, repeating the game?
All of the colours
All of the flesh
Twisting and turning
It burns with the rest
Songbirds singing through the night
Daybreak comes with crystal light
Open up the gilded cage
We have another war to wage
Witness the sirens
They’ve come for the ride
They’re warm on the outside
But naked inside
Songbirds singing through the night
Daybreak comes with crystal light
Open up the gilded cage
We have another war to wage
Witness the preachers
With god on their sides
They’re warning of evil
But abusing our minds
Songbirds singing through the night
Daybreak comes with crystal light
Open up the gilded cage
We have another war to wage

Fortune
04:19

I will make a fortune
I will fight for me
I will make a fortune
I can’t set you free
I’m not a member of the human race
I’m gonna take it all and steal your face
I’m not a member of the human race
I’m gonna take it all and steal your face
I’m gonna break you down (x8)
I will make a fortune
I will fight for me
I will make a fortune
I can’t set you free
You’re the slaves and we’re the puppeteers
We pull your strings and fill you with fear
You’re the slaves and we’re the puppeteers
We pull your strings and fill you with fear
I’m gonna turn you round (x8)
I will make a fortune
I will fight for me
I will make a fortune
I can’t set you free

Rain Again
05:35
|

How long has it been since we ran away?
How much would it cost to have stayed?
How many times have we all lost our way?
How many times has it rained?
We’re not in a game but you’re stuck inside my head
Is that why my eyes are seeing red?
How can we tell if it’s fallen all apart?
How will we tell if it’s changed?
Well it’s raining now but will it rain forever?
Was it always raining from the start?
It’s raining now and you look up to the heavens
Is there always thunder in my heart?

In Pieces
03:39
|

I don’t want you to want me
I don’t need you to ever hang around
Don’t like the way that you always look at me
I only cry when I can’t be found
You never need to understand my point of view
I never want you to try to read my mind
You never wake up in time to see me look at you
I’m scared of what I think that you will find
So please don’t ever believe me
Please don’t try to follow the way I think I’ve found
I’ll let you cry on your own shoulder
Ignore the pieces falling to the ground
You never need to understand my point of view
I never want you to try to read my mind
You never wake up in time to see me look at you
I’m scared of what I think that you will find
So I don’t want you to want me
I don’t need you to ever hang around
Don’t like the way that you always look at me
I only cry when I can’t be found
You never need to understand my point of view
I never want you to try to read my mind
You never wake up in time to see me look at you
I’m scared of what I think that you will find
I don’t want you to want me
I’m in pieces
I don’t want you to want me
I’m in pieces
