you cannot find the answer
in those drunken shapes of light
the heathen sun you're after
creates the blackest nights
hot blooded in your anger
send your silences to hell
you see everyone as the sinner
but care not to see yourself
and you are mistaken
those breaths that you're taking
won't be your last
you're just trying too hard
to hold on to something you weren't ready for

Kids With Knives
04:03
|
|||
|
with blood stained hands and black kissed eyes
lipstick smears on cocaine thighs
in these passages our wants describe
we remain the kids with knives
and the city smiles with us
but she is still covered in smoke
with timid hearts and tangled veins
whiskey sighs and drunken brains
our own shadows have taken our names
knowing our fates are exactly the same
and the city smiles with us
but she is still covered in smoke

i've got a hunger i can't shake
a thirst for something fake
i want to feel mundane
aw wry the coming of my fate
i'll turn away my face
breathe in the empty space
and we are following the same
creature that will lead all of us astray
can't seem to keep my body still
the spinning i must feel
the silence i can't kill
the ash was falling from the sky
lightning bolts and fire
fulfilling my desire
and we are following the same
creature that will lead all of us astray

Lost Wisdom
04:32
|

|
it's that passionate fear you talked about
when you knew the ghosts were haunting you
but really it's the weight of all your doubt
when you thought your soul was something new
so you sought a lost wisdom from the ghost of nietzsche
pick at your pockets and bare a grin
too nervous to feel the consequences
the weightlessness is now upon your skin
and the world turns to where you left it
so you sought a lost wisdom from the ghost of nietzsche

Aradia's Arms

|
conjure me awake
into aradia's arms
let me see my fate
where the consequences are
and i'll consume the spark
quiet at her feet
her sentence on my heart
a spell of apathy
so i can feel her charm
in the ever growing dark

i've seen the marks on your cheek
those foolish scars you must keep
do you keep heartache where you can't see
do you keep mistake under the sheets
please i don't remember where i am supposed to be
the silence speaks when you are gone
you'll taste that fear on your tongue
shivering cold all alone
a child left with childish thoughts
please i don't remember what i have left behind
please i can't remember what i was trying to find

Black And White
04:51
|

|
if everything was black and white
it would save me breath it would save me time
disguise the color of the sky
its yellow sun is much too bright
but it's too late i wished the sky away
your troubled eyes show i have made a mistake
to run and hide well i guess i just couldn't wait
the warmth was gone oh i felt so ashamed
eventually the sky did return
and i was there to soak it in

Chemistry Of The Coward
06:45
|
|||
|
i perform my chemistry
under the tree with the saddest limbs
my heart it knows no mystery
only what its told by these foolish hands
but i can't trust anything i touch
i fixed my soul's appetite
for things that grow quiet in the end
i want it loud and with flashing lights
like when i kissed your lips back then
but i can't trust anything i touch
i've given all
my silence to the wind
listen as it echoes back again
i've taken all
the horrors of my grin
twisted them around and let them win
you are who you say you are
you are who you say you are
today
and i am who you think i am
i am who you think i am
today

you're touching the daylight with a sideways destiny
the echoes of lover's sighs fill your slippery daydreams
all their features are fiction
your recalcitrant heart needs some haunted circumstance
a moment apart from the wounded ways of chance
all its features are fiction
lavished attention on different dimensions and just anomalies
within your own vision your sincerity is hard to see
all your features are fiction

Oblivion
03:23
|
|||
|
your spirit was born in
revolutions of stars
consummation of color
gravity couldn't mar
face the fact that you will always have
a terrifying urge to be the one
that finds a way into oblivion
the force of your body
pushes everything apart
spitting curses at a world that
has stolen your heart
face the fact that you will always have
a terrifying urge to be the one
that finds a way into oblivion
