I have tried to back down in the eyes of strangers they will
Know my all
That my pride comes after a fall, a fall
Then you begin to ask the questions to end questioning
Why, the art is growing silent in my arms

It’s a long a way to the anchor
Fathoms under water you are

She came to me with baby steps, at first
I could not see this blessing it was a curse
Her eyes are hollow like an open grave
I cannot help myself, I am to blame

I gave the baby too much milk to drink
Then it got greedy and learned how to think
I see it crawling out an o

When they found
The bones of God
They stitched our lips
They paid us off
The papers said
It was fake
So we hid the lies
For the children’s sake

How can I run from
Your heavenly host?
You’ve put all your trust
In a holy ghost, so
There’s no redemp

He wakes up to shave with a rusty razor blade
That dim reflection says that he's a man today and not a boy
Which until previously had been employed
By those who know

It's a pleasure
And oh you're a treasure
I feel better
With just a measure of

Poison for the l

I took a walk through the cracks of an alley
Where I saw the whites of your eyes getting heavy
It’s a sad little burden that you keep and you carry
But you love to weep and you love to be sorry

I was almost out when the guns had been loaded
When you heard me shout that the

You the centre and the colour of my eyes
Double nine
You taught me how to see everything between
Knife filled eyes

My favourite and my best
Well there is no contest
The worst you ever did
I want to bless

I’ve been so lost since the skin upon my soul
Was fi

Drinking in the day and I will again tomorrow
Drinking in the day, I'll be drowning all my sorrow
And I know that you've been stepping over me
And I know that home is ever far from me
Drinking in the day and I will again tomorrow

I've always been afraid of the things I've h

He only tells me what I want to hear
When we’re all strung out on the town
He doesn’t give a shit about my hair
He wants to pull it out
There was a time when there was something there
Now we just take it in turns
Some people want to see the world from here
And some pe

Let me lie upon my bad side
Spat up on the floor
Finger broken I am backwards
Who could ask for more

Crowned like cattle kick the habit
Murder in the ranks
Glory be to God above
And money in the bank

If it was easy would you leave me
If it was easy you'd l

Now I just see no colour of sunrise in your eyes
Disfigured and pure like the demise of Lucifer
I was cold when you found me outside the wake
With the grief on my tongue like a glass snowflake
Forgot my excitement watching this clock
Now I walk in the fields of my paradise lo

I’m invited to the feast of hammers
Led like cattle to the bride
If you’re dumb or lonely, you can come and join me
But i warn you, you’ll be crucified

I’m invited to the feast of hammers
Sacrificed and happy to be paid
Like dull creatures, they will beg to beat her

It must be time to go
Now you can say that you told me so
Stay a little more time for a standing ovation
Won’t you take pride in this rare sensational victory
You’re pretending

You’ve always been such a contradiction
And i dare not tell you every affliction
That bor

The ghosts in my house
Are whispering and calling out to me
They wake me up at first light
The nightmare is coming home
Here lies the one
You gave up on
Not good enough
Not good enough
The ghosts in my house
Are laughing at me
"The living can never be free

Now you're gone it's not so funny anymore
We took your name and dragged it all across the floor
To say that you did not deserve it isn't true
But just to clear up this confusion we hate you

To say that this was your idea is simply mad
You can't take credit for what you have

How I'd like to shake this body off
I want to adore the hands that hate us all
My darling there must be pieces missing
Drink to us and swear to tell no one
What becomes of you

How I'd like to shake this body off
A feather to the storm
The hands that break the soul

Here she comes a tumbling
Tumbling from the sky
I stop to question liberty
I ask my mother why

Here she comes a tumbling
Arms and legs and eyes
Oh Ivory there's three of me
and each of us is blind

I danced at your wedding
For the bride and the groom
I danced through the shadows
And I danced in that room

And I gave up salvation
Just to dance at your death
I waited there and I held my breath

I danced on the pavements
But I stepped on the cracks
It har

You once cut a friendly figure haunting and bereft
Now you cast an ugly shadow guilty and obsessed

So why must you always play the victim? It's time that I wasn't your hero
I've got troubles of my own that you used to care for
Now all I desire is to run so far away from those o

I remember them telling me
Something bad’s gonna happen
We are alone in everything
Especially in dying
I’ve got a mark where your picture was
You spun me out of the photograph
And asked me how I bend the light
I just see the negatives

It’s taken me so long to se

Dead round the eyes red rings what a sight there
Prone to the thoughts of electric nightmares
Soft like a skin yes i grin if i have to
You’ve got to, you’ve got to go

Swim little fish get away from the lobsters
Quick here they come they’re relentless monsters
Drown if y
