Cuckoo 04:01
lyrics
Cuckoo Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up Humpty Dumpty ain't got shit on me I've gone to pieces again And I need putting together I'll do with glue and some stitches And then I'm back on the shelf Please tell me this ain't forever This is not a part me It's just a false economy To say that I can go it alone The face I save today The mask tomorrow shattered clay So I moan. What do you think I'll say when it comes my way? The Cuckoo is calling my name And just the pieces of my clock remain The Cuckoo is calling my name Old Man Winter ain't got shit on me I'm in the eye of the storm Your friendly neighbourhood weatherman My eyes are blind in the sun And then they're lost in a gale Please tell me this ain't forever, man Help I've fallen can't get up no more Egg upon my face and on the floor Help I've fallen can't get up no more Oh, what a mess! Humpty Dumpty ain't got shit on me I've gone to pieces again And I need putting together Well I'm just dregs And spiders' legs All torn away from the body Well I'm just dust Blown in a gust All torn away from the body What do you think I'll say when it comes my way? The Cuckoo is calling my name And just the pieces of my clock remain The Cuckoo is calling my name Got it buried deep in the landfill Tick tock, cuckoo clock, deep in the landfill...

Believe 03:19
lyrics
Believe Something just doesn't feel right I've got to get out I've got to get out I guess I'll stay just one more night 'Cause what you put in I can't live without You said believe in yourself so I believed in my selfish visions And now I'm stuck like a rat in a trap of my making I guess I lived to regret the way I learned to forget my bad decisions But now it's far too late and… I think I may have made a huge mistake Let's talk for a while Let's talk for a while For every inch that you let me take I let it build up And now it's a mile Pushing down from above I feel the destructive nature of love And I'm not so sure I even Believe in the words I'm saying anymore I can't stay in, I can't stay out I won't sleep alone I won't sleep alone I love you more than I dare to doubt If I lie to myself Then I cast the first stone Now I can't even recall the way it was before I saw my future Wrapped in violent shades of red and wings of the dead I used to stand as a man but now I stand as a part of this creature That lives inside my head and… Pushing down from above I feel the destructive nature of love And I'm not so sure I even Believe in the words I'm saying anymore Pushing down from above (Do I even care about your thoughts…?) I feel the destructive nature of love (About your feelings…?) And I'm not so sure (What is this inside me…?) I even Believe in the words I'm saying anymore (If I don't Believe in you?) So let's continue to dance Around this warped and ugly romance But never quite sure We even Believe in the words we're saying anymore

Azure 04:00
lyrics
Azure How could such familiar eyes Seem to strange and now? Icy lakes too deep to see What hides beneath the blue Let me throw myself inside And dive until I'm deep Never coming up for air In Azure shades I'll sleep I want to feel those summers And the warmth of those endless days To feel the winter snowflakes In the depths of your Azure gaze You are the planet I am the seasons We can't perceive the change How can such a steady heart Make a man insane? Waging war with what he knows The logic in his brain How can such a cooling hue Set my nerves aflame? All it takes is just a spark And nothing is the same I want to feel those summers And the warmth of those endless days To feel the winter snowflakes In the depths of your Azure gaze You are the moonlight I am the ocean We are the dancing rays I stood beside the water And stared over the edge Reaching down I stirred the bed The ripples made me vanish I washed away my life Then went away to clear my head The river made me realise (Waves come) It's never too late (Waves go) You can start again in life I'll wrap you up in ripples (You will) And hope you disappear (Always be) But just once more inside I'll dive I want to feel those summers And the warmth of those endless days To feel the winter snowflakes In the depths of your Azure gaze I want to feel those summers And the warmth of those endless days To feel the winter snowflakes In the depths of your Azure gaze

The King Of Diamonds 04:52
lyrics
The King of Diamonds The King is sitting in his castle But the cards are falling down The Joker stole away his Queen All she left him was a broken crown He sits alone in silence Someone took a club to his broken heart Alone with his just his diamonds Someone fetch the spades To bury him tonight… The courtyard with the gambling table Where loves losers sit and play A lonely deck of fallen stars Is where The King now spends his days They drink alone in silence Someone took the shine from their bloodshot stares They gambled all their diamonds They gambled all their hearts The final chip is played But no one cares to see… A final act of treason A selfish little reason We'll smoke them out We'll string them up We all fall down this time Someone tie me down upon the throne Before they lay me down upon the stone We'll smoke them out We'll string them up We all fall down this time I'm living with the silence I'm facing each day as a brand new start I'll coat myself in diamonds A brand new set of arms When no one stands by me… Buried in these castle walls...

Shark 07:21
lyrics
Shark When the idiot tries to dance Everyone dances away When the idiot tries to dance Everyone dances away Where they going to? All gone away Swimming around like a Shark With a snap in your jaw But no one sticks around When the flesh is raw Coming from out of nowhere Danger in all that you see This bed holds all your nightmares A league for every degree Got to get out! Got to get out! Got to get out! Hold, hold your tongue 'til the words come spilling out You're old but you're young What's it worth To speak your mind when you learn That the truth Is that no one, no one's listening? When the idiot tries to dance They all dance away Idiot tries to dance They all dance away The idiot tries to dance All dance away So walk like the idiot Talk like the idiot Make like the idiot Make like the idiot Every day, dancing it all away (Dance, dance) Every day, dancing it all away (Dance, dance) Every day dancing it all away Every day, hear the idiot say: "Hot banana! Hot dog banana! Hot banana! Hot dog banana! Hot banana! Hot dog banana! Hot banana! Hot dog banana! Are you laughing? Do you like me yet? Hot banana! Hot dog banana! Are you laughing? Do you like me yet? Hot banana! Hot dog banana! Hot dog, hot dog, yeah! And it grips my throat And I hold my breath again… This bed holds all your nightmares A league for every degree They'll throw me off of the island 'Cause this is all I can be I've been a Shark out of water Since the day that I left the sea A league for every degree Don't think I'll make it on dry land This place, it isn't for me I've been a Shark out of water Since the day that I left the sea A league for every degree This bed holds all your nightmares A league for every degree Walk like the idiot Talk like the idiot Every day Walk like the idiot Talk like the idiot Dancing away Walk like the idiot Talk like the idiot Make like the idiot every day Walk, talk, line him in chalk Hear the idiot say…: "They'll throw me off of the island 'Cause this is all I can be I've been a Shark out of water Since the day that I left the sea A league for every degree Don't think I'll make it on dry land This place, it isn't for me I've been a Shark out of water Since the day that I left the sea A league for every degree"
