We go back to the days of old.
And we see the life we've been dreaming of.
So we run through the fields of gold.
Till we find a place we can see it all.
Never stop until we're gone.
The highest peaks we overcome.
Cast them out into the water.
Imaginary sons and daughters.
Remember where we're coming from.
And forget the things we've done.
So many ghost to call our own.
You know you want it too much.
But it'll never be enough.
I think it's time we call it off.
Can we really call this love?
And our blood will run like silver.
And our scars will shine like gold.
And we'll never see our skin as something whole.
And our lungs are breathing fire.
And our eyes become so cold.
And we'll never see that treasure any more.

Dreams Of A Realist
04:16

Tear down the fences round your heart.
And run till your last breath
It's not a race and there's no start.
Don't follow the signs that say stop.
Giving in to what you know.
Only trust in what you see.
Or all the precious seeds you sow
flourish into nothing but weeds.
Here again.
Now there's nowhere left to go.
No release. No escape.
In this storm I stand alone.
You'll never take me alive.
Or collect the debts I owe.
So beware of the bite
Of the snakes I used to know.
Turn out the light.
Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight.
And I'll find out what
Dreams are about.
Maybe I'll dream aloud tonight.
For the first time.
No. Not for me.
Pray a little longer.
Run a little faster.
Push a little harder.
Instead of waking up to something unreal.

Like A Moth

You're a light appearing in the darkness.
Hold on to something I don't want to lose.
The way you disarmed me - it isn't alarming.
It's something I'd happily choose.
I am taken by the seamless vision.
This compulsion, I can't escape.
Slowly drifting forward. This elegant torture
is only as good as the pain.
And the outcome is always the same.
So I dance with the open flame.
I'll keep coming back to you - just like I always do.
Such a cold and cruel manipulation.
But I'm compelled to stay all the same.
It's a defening silence - a motionless violence
And somehow I can't turn away.
They say repetition is madness
But I'm always stuck in a loop.
The clockwork inside me just isn't worth fighting
And there's nothing left I can do.

Break your knife on my back again.
All your plots and your ploys.
Turn away and never speak again.
I still loathe the sound of your voice.
Burn it down.
Cos that's where the heart lives.
Raise this place to the ground.
Got no alternative.
Burn the fields.
Burn the crops,
So that nothing ever grows.
Cos thats all the heart is:
Feed for the crows.
Sink your teeth into me again.
Tear me down with your claws.
Show your face. The one you hide away.
Won't you Show the of scars of your war?
Don't ever fall in love.
Don't ever play the game.
You're falling faster and you only have yourself to blame.
You'll never make it through.
You know you can't survive.
You have to face the fact you'll never make it out alive.
And so you compromise,
And then you realise,
That You are nothing but the victim of your own demise.
You're running out of time,
And you can feel the days slowly slipping away.

Blink And Stare
03:19
|
|

Open your eyes and focus on the battle ahead.
Stand upright.
We look forward and find our own way.
but we are afraid to follow in the footsteps of old.
And I stop for a while and stare.
then i blink and it's gone.
and to think that i used to care.
but now it's all gone wrong.
Open the door and look in. It's so empty and bare
Step inside.
Then turn on the light and sit down.
and think of the time that's gone by, and the hours of despair.
