I'm spread across the elements In body and in mind And in my darkest moments I could leave myself behind And just beyond the shadows there was you So what's a man with nothing left to do? God damn, talk to me What have you done to me? I'm dancing out a fever in my bones It never came to me How crazy I could be Maybe I'm just better off alone And if you ever wonder what went wrong My feelings grew a little bit too strong I'm digging up a hole To cover up my soul

Despite your creature comforts You're still an animal inside You've got the lion's share of pride Deep down inside you In all your jungle sermons You never spoke of purpose What lies beneath the surface Monkey see what monkey do Maybe it's in the essence of your soul Where all desires play a role How nice would that be? Lately have you felt your life is in a hole Did your disciples heed the call And are you happy Howling at stars? Barking at cars? Bury her Like the dog that you are Girl with butterfly wings She gave you everything And now you'll watch her flying out your window And so it follows you In every single step that you take To say you made a mistake Would be an understatement Despite your creature comforts You're still an animal inside You've got the lion's share of pride Deep down inside you We heard a song in the air The final song that you shared It was a funeral dirge About a love affair And now the sermon be damned It's time to strike up the band Now the word is everywhere Now all you reap Are the secrets that you keep Locked away In the drawer by your bed Girl with butterfly wings She gave you everything Everything That's flying out your window And so it follows you In every single step that you take To say you made a mistake Would be an understatement I hope it follows you In every single step that you take To say you made a mistake Would be an understatement

Was born in a place where the lights stay on The sun never shines And the night drags on The people are asleep Yet they walk Singing a sad, sad song... The residents here are a drain Walking around in the fog Their aspirations, memories long lost Extolling the virtues Of a comfortable, grey stone wall And settling down Where the rubble will bury us all You and I Gazing up the sky We were watching the searchlight Keeping us under it's eye And you said "It's hard to deny I think this might be love" Unexpressed By the feel of your breath I could tell you were scared You were scared they would guess Then you turned With the breeze in your dress And you left "You'll never amount to anything With your foolish dreams Of love and fame and fortune Find a job And make a life worth living" So the crowd would sing In mocking tones of jealousy "We are of broken glass within We want what is best for you Feel every shard beneath your skin We are a part of you Wherever Whenever You'll never leave Wherever Whenever You'll never leave" We'll make it out there on our own Lets get away From Letsby Avenue Where there be dragons We call home So far away From Letsby Avenue Our stars ignited Burning down This wretched place Letsby Avenue In smoke and dust We left this town Into the flames Fell Letsby Avenue Empty receptacles Watching for spectacles Wading about in a swamp Letsby Avenue I am not one of them And I will not follow them Down and deep into the dark Of Letsby Avenue Cars on a hill All rusted and still Time will make fools of us all Letsby Avenue I would say anything And I would do anything Not to be left in the dust Of Letsby Avenue

With defeat comes comfort Comfort in the knowledge That I did all that I could Like you knew I always would So I hope you'll still be proud Proud to say you knew me In the finest of my hours With power in my blood In all the moments that we shared over the years There sat a raven singing sadness in my ear Should we meet again I'll pray you see a difference For every sudden end I'll pay a little penance I really am trying I'm trying to grow And I want you to know That I'm leaving home I'd look you in the eye But the eye beholds my shame In all my self abuse It seems I've nothing left to lose Although the road may lead me nowhere From nowhere I have come I'll prove to you my worth More than the dirt beneath my shoes I want to thank you for ignoring my mistakes Despite the hurt in every action that I take Should we meet again I'll pray you see a difference For every sudden end I'll pay a little penance I really am trying I'm trying to grow And I want you to know That I'm leaving home 26 and 0 When did I get so old? 26 and 0 Why do I still feel cold?

Smoke in the fields As the druids, they pray What would you say If you met me today? Smoke in the fields As the druids, they pray What would we say If we saw them today? Burning of candles As light as the day If we could see them Then what would we say? This love Whispering, jealous, possessive and strong Spitting its poison from serpentine tongue Was it just like this when we were young? All this bad alchemy Coming undone Raising the spectre, the phantom, the ghost Here at the feast that the last of them host What other name would you have but the rose? So this bad alchemy goes We were so happy Once upon a time Once upon a tortured rhyme Line by empty line I promised a room with a view But all that we got was this closet for two And it's filled with your shoes And with all of my blues You know I ain't no superman No I'm not even that other man So what can I do for you, babe? My Louis Lane, ball and chain Well I haven't got the energy to be chasing you no more No, I haven't got the strength to be facing you no more I'm happier here with a half empty beer And the radio nailed to the floor This love Can you give a definition? Can you use it in a sentence? Can I get a helping hand 'Cause I no longer understand How can I follow? If I haven't got a clue? Or something I can use? This bad alchemy This love This love Digs beneath the skin And I can feel it And I can feel it crawling This love Burrows deep within And I can feel it Crawling

It all looks so wild Through the eyes of a child Scaling the heights Of a yearning to crumble Fighting the dragon in my head Beautiful lights Such magnificent sights Everybody around Is looking down from a mountain Fighting the dragon in my head Such futile plans Just holding hands And I can't understand you See flickering lights in the tower blocks How I wish I could live among them From the circus to the freak Just shut your eyes and speak Cryptic confessional Smoke in the box Pandora, she warned you To check all the locks An evening of lessons You get what you pay for You get what you stay for The mirror don't talk anymore Don't talk anymore So tell me again When does the pressure relent? And how do the rest of you Cope with the torment? Fighting the dragons in your heads Fighting the dragons in your heads Fighting the dragons in your heads In your... I'll take a moment And I'll breathe a little easier I think I finally understand it this time Even in darkness light still blooms Even in madness you're still you More's the pity It's going to catch up with you soon Fighting the dragon in your head Fighting the urge to stay in bed More's the pity It's going to catch up with you soon Washing the spiders all away Clearing the cobwebs every day More's the pity It's going to catch up with you soon Fighting the dragon in your head Sword in the forge and wish for death More's the pity It's going to catch up with you soon

I shook off the void Like an old faded jacket That face in the gloom Was the face I had doomed Would I give up my teeth Or the skin of my knees For a taste of a life in the sun With you and all of your friends? The truth will always bend in time So here is mine: I'll make you happy Ever so happy So long as you tell me Will the clouds take the blame When the night screams my name? I'd lie to the Gods In bare faced defiance And I'll kneel by the light of your hair In prayer I'll shed all my skin While a fire within Burns a torch With the heat of the sun For you And all of your friends The truth will always bend in time So here is mine: I'll make you happy Ever so happy So long as you tell me Will the clouds take the blame When the night screams my name? I'd buy you a ring With the change in my pocket But the richest of rags Are still only rags Yet for all that it's worth I'd trade half the Earth For a chance at a life in the sun With you, my darling soon I won't mean anything I do So long as you tell me I'll make you happy Will the clouds take the blame When the night screams my name? my darling soon I won't mean anything I do So long as you tell me I'll make you happy

Fallen from the sky Born in the heart of a meteorite She left a scar across this barren land The stars had left An omen of death Whispered under muted breath Her legacy is burned upon my hands And the shape of her name Is a white hot pain A hole in my gut is burning Churning Smoke in my lungs The night I was young and stupid What is this feeling? Sickly and sweet A warmth in my heart Too soon unbearable heat Yes I loved you I never deserved to When the anger I felt It sparked a fire that raged My bed of flame My burning shame A chorus of embers when you came Why must I smoulder in your name? The light in her eyes Is the light that fries My body's a vessel, holding Moulding The flickering tongue The call of the young and stupid Well I doubt that she realised The smoke on the rise A jealous mistake and I miss her There's blisters where everything stung The night I was young and stupid What is this feeling Sickly and sweet I'm sorry I burned you With my selfish retreat Yes I loved you I never deserved to When the anger I felt It sparked a fire that raged My bed of flame My burning shame A chorus of embers when you came Why must I smoulder in your name? Insignificant bodies Revolve around the sun We're burning up like fireflies Insignificant bodies (I'm sorry) Revolve around the sun (Please, forgive me) We're burning up (I never did deserve you) Like fireflies (And I've grown to hate the light) God damn, talk to me What have you done to me? I'm dancing out a fever in my bones...

Then came the tsunami To wash away the flames Smoke and ruins languished Beneath eternal rains And all I knew of anger Was slowly washed away Memories and clouds obscured the sun And all was grey The voices in the river They gathered in a whisper Of lies and doubt, a burden on the mind (A thousand leagues were calling… run!) I wish I'd spoken sooner And asked about the future But your silence was a pressure And I couldn't leave the whispering behind What were you thinking? I'll never know where did you go Inside your head? And so I'm sinking How I behaved is now my grave Upon this bed I wish for sleep... With all the secrets that the water surely keeps… God damn, talk to me What have you done to me? I'm dancing out a fever in my bones Love and ocean madness Where a sadness slowly trickles down my neck And these chills that mark the biggest of regrets I turned to childish blame As I was drowning in your name Teardrops danced together down my window (In a dance of heavy rain) I swallowed every question And acted in aggression All in an effort to escape the undertow What was I thinking? I let you know I had to go And so farewell For I am sinking And all the pain will feel the same Upon this bed I wish for sleep… With all the secrets that the water surely keeps… Love and ocean madness Where a sadness slowly trickles down my neck And these chills that mark the biggest of regrets Why did I say that? I guess the biggest wave of all Was when I didn't stop to listen And then you said that You said you didn't mind at all But I was running And I didn't want to know How did you feel? I didn't ever want to know I said I'd never ever know How did you feel? I hope you didn't have to hurt I hope I never made you hurt So, why did I say…? Sailing away Drifting down the river Wonderful undertow Carry me softly Thinking of you Every second I stay Why did you cast me away? Sell me down the river? Wasting away in a whirlpool Well, I don't need your love When love is in the water Grabbing me, dragging me Holding me under Sailing away On such a wonderful day The light upon the surface breaks I'm pushing and I'm kicking Like I pushed you far away Water gives and water takes A shipwreck is my home Until I find the words to say I'm sorry for the mess that I have caused Love and ocean madness Where a sadness slowly trickles down my neck And these chills that mark the biggest of regrets in my darkest moments I could leave myself behind And if I run now Then I'm running for the rest of my life

The air grew heavy the day the water dried But deep inside A whisper lingered on the wind That silver breath It never left Too soon the whisper leaves me deaf To all the reason I've been preached Now I know I can't be reached... Hers is the spectre That haunts every shadow It's cold every day And it drives me insane Her Eidolon speaks to me Outside my window Steely and grey And she won't go away In my head Where I go she will follow Now I'm wandering pale as a ghost Off the coast The weather is turning Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes...? Towers fall The power of her memory Is written in a gale By the violent hands of winter I can't let her go The weather in her laughter Hear it roaring in the night I never could forget She's in my head Where I go she will follow Now I'm wondering pale as a ghost Off the coast A tempest is brewing Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Heard it coming from the skies above I never had the right to call this love I'll pay the price From cruelty comes tornadoes Heard it coming from the skies above I never had the right to call this love I live in shadows But just beyond the shadows there was you So what's a man with nothing else to do? Each day a new reminder Triggers in the air At night I sleep beside her Triggers, triggers everywhere Why do they name...? God damn, talk to me What have you done to me? I'm dancing out a fever in my bones Castles crumble Their battlements eroded I demanded you And claimed my right to answers (I never had the right, I never...) Houses tumble My home away from home These days is misery The cracks embrace a bitter cold The wind is in my bones A chill that never ever lets me go I wish to leave you Your voice, it moved the trees I want to be alone A silence in the air to call my own I wish to leave you Your voice, no longer speaks to me Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway? Why do they name hurricanes...?

The months passed And still it didn't go away I had dreamed I'd win her back somehow The Earth yawned And into it's gaping maw I had fallen We'd patch it up somehow The flowers growing Up from her feet She built a garden On the end of her street The soil blessed In every single one of her steps I'll come to terms with all of this regret I'm spread across the elements In body and in mind I think about you Even now You keep the space I never left behind I'm digging up a hole There's time in a safe Years I invested Now all gone to waste just taking up space But I know it won't always be this way When the earthquake comes You'll stay behind my eyes And I'll never ever go Where my dreams refuse to die And when the dust has cleared You'll stay behind my eyes And I never shall return Where my dreams refuse to die The cracks upon the mountain The lines upon my face Time escapes The more we waste The planet quickly turns And in my place I'm digging up a hole She lives as I dream Awake as I sleep As I lay myself down I feel a tremor underground And I know it won't always be this way When the earthquake comes You'll stay behind my eyes And I'll never ever go Where my dreams refuse to die When the dust has cleared I'll walk into the light And I never shall return Where my dreams refuse to die I'm digging up a hole To cover up my soul The darkest of my sides He wanted you to feel as low as I I'm digging up a hole To cover up my soul That part of me still hides But eventually I'll leave that man behind I'm digging up a hole To cover up my soul We know that you deserved Greater than the love I could provide I'm sorry for my selfish, bitter pride I'm digging up a hole… In the end, it's just a story Giving breath to the living dead I will persevere An earthquake's drawing near In the end, it's just a story Giving breath to the living dead I will persevere An earthquake's drawing near In the end, it's just a story Giving breath to the living dead I will persevere An earthquake's drawing near In the end, it's just a story Giving breath to the living dead I will persevere An earthquake's drawing near God damn, Talk to me What have you done to me? I'm dancing out a fever in my bones

We planned our escape Almost perfectly It looked so good from the outside Boys crying wolf In the cold, dark night Who knew that the getaway driver Was a man from our hometown? Business is business Just give me a chance to explain I'm sick with a fever And I haven't felt right in years So pleased just to meet you I'm sorry to leave you There's a man in the moon Who knows of all my fears I don't know what to say We could have been friends If I hadn't failed myself For the seventh time today The one thing that's clear, I've always known So soon I will have to go And when I get all my ducks in a row Then I'm pulling the trigger So low I've been spiralling down Into the depths of the toilet bowl Where shit has nowhere else to roll What would you do? What would a real human do? I drew a line, grew in time Hid behind it Dreamt of you We looked to the others for answers Expectantly They looked so calm on the outside Happy and bright In the cold, dark night I'm sick with a fever And I haven't felt right in years I wish I could keep you Only to see If you'd fix the ache Inside my brittle bones I don't know what to say We could have been friends If I hadn't failed myself For the seventh time today The one thing that's clear, I've always known So soon I will have to go And when I get all my ducks in a row Then I'm pulling the trigger And the world at large will part And of a worm's five hearts Not one of them will bleed For your self esteem So pick your body up And show the human bodies tough I want to go remembered For more than just enough I don't know what to say We could have been friends If I hadn't failed myself For the seventh time today The one thing that's clear, I've always known So soon I will have to go And when I get all my ducks in a row Then I'm pulling the trigger I'm pulling the trigger

Round the world in 80 minutes Just a pinprick on a midnight blue horizon And I wish that I'd remember anything Just anything about you Than how damn much I missed you I can see your house from here Floating by way up high See the signs I'm falling further out of grace A voice pervades the atmosphere Astral dust And if I must I wish you well Last astronaut in space I treasured every minute That the silence crushed my head And wrapped around my legs Pulling threads Is it getting hard to breathe? I barely notice anymore Since my feet both left the floor Since I bolted shut my door Yet sometimes through the vacuum Snatches of your laughter Echo dispossessed And with the gentle, lazy curling Of your morning smitten hair Cascading down my chest For a moment I remember I'm more than static on your radio 21st Century man in a can So cold is the road out of civilisation Talking with ghosts I'm talking with ghosts Will they find me washed up on a beach In some interstellar sleep? Will they find me, dare I dream In a place of warmth and peace? All burnt out Crashing down Through that happy home of ours Any day I'll find a way I'm coming back for you In this unforgiving vastness I could throw my voice And hope that you could hear me But out in space, nobody can hear anything No one else for miles How I wish that you were near me I can see your house from here Floating by way up high See the signs I'm falling further out of grace A voice pervades the atmosphere Astral dust And if I must I wish you well Last astronaut in space And I can see your house from here Floating by way up high See the signs I'm falling further out of grace A voice pervades the atmosphere Astral dust And if I must I wish you well Last astronaut in space
