Matters of mind have got me thinking till the hours of late everyday
How such a violent state of silence brings us down to earth his or hers?
Up in my citadel I sit and drink myself to health, back from hell
Turnin’ inside out of her shell she doesn’t talk the same, only blames
She kicked me off my element - did she see straight through your heart
Did it get that way, get that way again
Did it get that way, get that way again?
Hold, just hold on
No, no I’m done
Go, go, gotta go
Hold, hold, hold, hold
No, no, no, no
Go, go, go, go, gotta go
All these dice roll in time
High above the hive we all collide
All these bright eyes look tired
We’ll be flyin’ in the sky, we’ll all combine, combine
I tried sleeping through another sleepless night
Black cloud building right between my very eyes
Pathways to nowhere lead you with a smile
Straight back to the rising tide
I don’t remember how or why
I only know we tried
Oh the inner enemy
Who keeps me at night when I could use a friend in me
Who? The one I need to be
Who I keep losing I could really use your company
Things we do to stay afloat although the rivers dry
Already sinking you can feel the crack in you and I
I took too long to realise
That you already took your ferry to the other side
Oh the inner enemy
Who keeps me at night when I could use a friend in me
Who? the one I need to be
Who I keep losing I could really use your company
Oh the inner enemy
Who keeps me at night when I could use a friend in me
Blue the colour smoke we breathe
Well I keep using and I’m losing all my energy
Sifting through the ashes of years we knew
Kamikaze helpline is what we choose
Seems the only lifeline was made for you
We’re a setting sun
Death Decay and chapels are coming through
Chemical imbalance, you pay-per-view
Hold your gaze, and wade into the fire
Burn yourself brighter
Shut the door and make it stick
Took so long but we found it
I found light in your energy, as I live and breathe
I found life in your melody
Silence ain’t empty
Was it a change of heart, that left you broken
Or the hardest parts that go unspoken
Was it the highest high to soothe the mind
that left you unwoven
I’ve seen your eyes, they’re always open
Polygons changing shape to fill the hole in
Hold your gaze, and fade into the higher powers that guide ya
Shut the door and make it stick
Took so long but we found it
I found light in your energy, as I live and breathe
I found life in your melody
Silence ain’t empty
The silence ain’t empty when you call(
Silence ain’t empty
As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so
As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so
As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so
As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so
Ya tripping on a backbeat vision
Makin ends meet, this is living
Choking on fire, waking up tired
Living underneath our limit
Too fickle to commit to decision
Just pour another cup and you’ll get it
Keep on sipping your cognac, gonna toss it all back, Slippin’ through the rear view mirror
Stuck in a synaptic prison
Never found out, where is it?
Oh well look at your fever, is it amnesia?
Come to make a new incision
Forget the controls and fire away
Had seventeen lives, eleventeen times you believe it
This isness is creeping away
Through indecision today
Isn’t it time, isn’t it time
Isn’t it fine, we’re still flickering
You said you’re a believer
Is your heart warm, what do you feed it?
Are you fakin a deviner, no-one could deny you were colder when you sold your spirit
Goin on loan for a minute
To day two hundred infinite
Now ya losing your laughter, oh well it was always on tap
Do tell what’s given?
This isness is creeping away
Through indecision today
Isn’t it time, isn’t it time
Isn’t it fine, isn’t this fine
This isness is creeping away
Through indecision today
Isn’t it time, isn’t it time
Isn’t this fine, we’re still flickering
Isn’t it fine, we’re still flickering
Isn’t it nice, to be here glistening
Thinking up something quick
Hope it gets you through an awkward situation
Ya sinking down slowly, and you might get picked off
By the shark with the fake blonde wig
Or the pig in your eye
Ya bleeding out something dry
Ya feeding all the wrong things
Oh but how the wrong sings to your mind
Beauty in the eye of the beholder
Seems to hang us out to dry as we get older and older
And so as we become our own attackers
Speak now underneath your breath the mantra
My stature is rapture, I’m my own commander
Ya bleeding out something dry
Ya feeding all the wrong things
Oh but how the wrong sings in your mind
Yeah, ya, ya seeing now, seeing now, something like
A reason to belong here in this empty town
Rough landing, tough folk here, but I found it all too sad
Eyes blinded, still hoping, then I drove myself mad
Some punter just loved her more than I ever had
Now I’m reeling, still feeling the things that never panned out
My patience is wearing thinner than a paper cut
Can’t stand it, won’t bear it, so I pulled my anchor up
This season has fallen into the passion pond
I think I’m gonna take a holiday to vietnam
Keep on finding signs
I drive by the signs
I’m gonna take you to the sun, we’ll fly higher
Yeah you’re a trillion megatons of desire
So let me take you to the sun, my igniter
I’m gonna you to the sun, to the sun
Good feelings, good riddance, I paid my patience toll
Am I trippin, your flipping has got me against the wall
This hunger still thunder underneath the passion pond
The ceiling has fallen, gonna put my fix on hold
Keep on finding signs
I drive by the signs
I’m gonna take you to the sun, we’ll fly higher
Yeah you’re a trillion megatons of desire
So let me take you to the sun, my igniter
I’m gonna you to the sun, to the sun
I’m gonna take you to the sun
I’m gonna take you to the sun, you’re my fire
Well let me take you to the sun, my igniter
Well let me take you to the sun, to the sun, you’ll be one
Uh oh, you fell in, uh oh, you fell in
Did you get in? Oh no, did you get in?
I think it’s safe to say we’ve been through this ten times before
What do we have to pay, to make it through all this unbroken
Well was I meant to wait, till we lose it, confuse it, this love lost and abused?
I think it’s safe to say, we blew it up when it went cold
Used it up and let go, oh no no no
This sad parade you created, so see through I see you in two
Let’s separate, facts and fiction to get traction in view
What do we have to say to be honest, could be the truth
I think it’s safe to say we used it up and let go
Used it up and let go, oh no no no
I let go, oh no no
Screwed up when I let you go
(Use it up)
Oh no no no
(Use it up)
Screwed it up when I let
(Use it up)
Oh no no no
(Screwed it up)
And let go,
Use it up, I touched the sky high seam
Use it up, I tore the fabric dream
Use It up, I found a serpent queen
Alright, use it up, use it up
But I don’t wanna let up
And I don’t wanna resign
Just want a little bitta
Peace over my mind
Just to live a little
Fleeting by design
Still breathing in the middle middle
Oh well I wanna live my best life, best life
You only ever seem to miss mine, kiss cry
Oh yeah I wanna live with less lies, less lies
Never know if you’re gonna left right, my mind
Well I just want a little respite despite
Feel like an overwritten disc drive, Big Bite
I wanna get up off a this ride, this ride
Cause I won't slip into a noose-tie, your eyes (eyes eyes)
It comes and goes, the feeling it flows
Divine intervention, what a bloody load
We’re high when we’re low, it’s the sunlight on your soul
Breathe in while you can, before the goodness goes
I just don’t wanna know, the odyssey’s design
Because I just don’t really care, if I’m a common fly
I just don’t wanna know
If I’ll still be sitting by the sideline come June
Because I just don’t really care
Cause I’ll still be sitting on my own, on my own, on my own
Take time to ponder, wander the golden mile
Tomorrow lives longer, if only for a while
Wake up the jaguar, running through your mind
Inside you the answer, It never left your side
Just say you’re fine and you’ll be right, open in denial
Solitude don’t keep me waiting, take me back to life
I just don’t wanna knowIf I’ll still be sitting by the sideline come June
Because I just don’t really care
Cause I’ll still be sitting on my own, on my own, on my own
Feeding our corpses, carried through time
Velveteen ocean, moving in mine
Conqueror meet me, pull me to the sky
Silhouette sailing, take me from my eyes
Fire send me up into the hold
Gonna see through mother makers mould
Higher than the supernatural
Shiner melt me back into the fold
Let’s wander down the road
Back to my old home
Time has come to go
Time has come to go
Pyre empty, old but not dissolved
Daylight comedown, where the seam is sewn
Happiness unfolds
Happiness unfolds
It’s all we came for
All we came for
Do you feel at home
Do you feel as one
Powers that be set the course anew
Wonder if they’ll be unkind to you
Coming back to life
Do you realise
Do you realise
Played out painless, has it come and gone?
What you wished for, to return reborn
Silence echoes by
Violence echoes time
Live and let die
Do you feel at home
Do you feel as one
Do you feel, Do you feel
Do you feel, Do you feel
