Kill the silence kill the noise Push it out with all your sugardaddy's toys Blow the drainage as we speak No one can live it out on purely misery Oh, what you waiting for? I said oh, what you dreaming for? Vanquished foes I tried to call Something in reverse moves forwards after all Put the pickles in the bin Soak yourself in brine until it is the end Oh, what you waiting for? I said oh, what you dreaming of?! Betty breaks down inside the charade And you tell me it’s all going to be okay Face the facts, you know it’s true She loves me and he loves you Slay the doves from up above Did it to prove to them, that you are tough Broke the windows, broke the walls She wouldn’t scream when you shattered the decor! Oh, who you waiting for? I said oh, who you dreaming of?! Betty breaks down inside the charade And you tell me it’s all going to be okay Yeah you would! Face the facts, you know it’s true She loves me and he loves you Yes he does! He loves you

Woke up this morning and got out of bed Dragged the razor blade over my head Screamed as the shower water burned When will I ever learn?! I ran to the bus stop with mismatched shoes, It must be a case of those Monday blues Tripped as my laces untied, But all that I’ve bruised is my pride And I know, that it’s going to be A beautiful day for me And I know, that it’s going to be A beautiful day for me We made paper planes and we watched them soar Who said that rainy days were a bore? You’d always scream with delight Excited as they take flight We strolled to the river and found us a boat The wood’s way too heavy to keep us afloat Oh yeah the tide’s coming in Let’s just go for a swim And I know, that it’s going to be A beautiful day for me And I know, that it’s going to be A beautiful day for me The moon it is rising, the stars are all out Let’s take our sleeping bags and camp about Summer is on the way in! We won’t go shirts we’ll go skins Paint me a picture in my mind’s eye You tell the truth I won’t tell any lies Sunrise is pouring in We cannot shake off our grins And I know, that it’s going to be A beautiful day for me And I know, that it’s going to be A beautiful day for me A beautiful, a beautiful, a beautiful, a beautiful day for me

The Valley 03:15
Rose with the morning sun Talking tips and trips and places we’ve gone Bathing in this summer’s heat Our feet on the ground floats the dust from the street My eyes, they tell you no lies My eyes, they say no goodbyes Stepped through the stony gate The vines grow big and the earth never shakes Bathing in this summer’s heat Our feet on the ground floats the dust from the street My eyes, they tell you no lies My eyes, they say no goodbyes View the valley from the top of the hill Panoramic, sunbathed, picturesque still All things seen in this summer’s heat Our feet on the ground floats the dust from the street My eyes, they tell you no lies My eyes, they say no goodbyes My eyes, they tell you no lies My eyes, they say no goodbyes

Breathe 03:29
I’ve been ten thousand miles from home Most of the time was spent all alone I once spoke to you in a dream Sounds easy, but it’s harder than it seems I stayed awake from some eight long months Hoping that you would not ever give up I spent my early years with a blindfold on Now all I see is that you’re gone Breathe in, and out And in Prospects of you kept heart and hope warm But the cold sets in with no fires to burn There were some sunny days and chilled winter nights Made all the better with you snuggled up tight Breathe in, and out And in Breathe in, and out, and in I’m holding on to hope Don’t let my throat choke I’m holding on to hope Don’t give up the ghost I’m holding on to hope Don’t let my throat choke I’m holding on to hope Don’t give up the ghost

The Wild 04:11
In ten thousand days, I’ll teach you how to lie And when you go, I’ll teach you how to die Expect my face, to appear in your dreams Expect my hand, to work in ways unseen Take me and go, far away from here To the desert snow, where we’ll drink whisky and beer Uproot the hopes, of parents so concerned Uproot my dreams, and take a violent turn Fire and ice is burning in my brain Fire and ice is running through my veins Fire and ice is all that I know Fire and ice, and I’m tumbling, tumbling down I was once in love, with a darling girl I showered her, with jewels, diamonds and pearls It took me some time, to realize it was wrong And so I ran, into the morning fog Fire and ice is burning in my brain Blood and poison is running through my veins My little book, is all that I know Fire and ice, and I’m tumbling, tumbling down

The god destroyer has come To take over our minds The god destroyer has come To take away your spine The Tulapi faces have come, so please move quickly dear The Tulapi faces have come, let’s run away from here Oh Mary where have you gone, what does your spyglass see? Oh Mary where have you gone? I’m praying down on my knees Time is the only thing that binds me Time is the only thing that truly binds me The god destroyer has come To take over our minds The god destroyer has come To take over your spine Oh William how you saved my life, oh William how you bear that knife Oh William how you saved my life, oh William how can you bear to bare that knife?! And which world are you in? Oh which world are you in? Are you with the bearer of sin, the Eve to my Adam’s eye? Time is the only thing that binds me Time is the only thing that truly binds me The god destroyers have come To take away your spine The god destroyers have come To take away your mind

The Storm 03:26
And it wasn’t long before the Sunset turned to dusk And the fiery glow was softened Hues, to rust As the winter winds blow As the fire dies As you fill my cup As I look, into your eyes Please don’t tell me no Please don’t say goodbye Please don’t let me go I would die And it wasn’t long before the Waves did crash below Up high a storm was brewing Turmoil, below But with you it’s warm here Sheltered from the storm Something great is happening We’re adored! Please don’t tell me no Please don’t say goodbye Please don’t let me go I would die! Please don’t tell me no Please don’t say goodbye Please don’t let me go I would die! Please don’t tell me no Please don’t say goodbye Please don’t let me go I would die!

Tovarich 03:20
Oh brother, please hear me Throw out your crown Leave me and my own alone, unless you want to stay down You’ve fried yourself, you’ve cooked a meal You killed off your family, because we’re just too real You’ve gone over a bump, and now you’re too high Spread your wings and fly Oh brother, please hear me Leave me to mourn The death of my childhood has been spat out in scorn I once wanted to be, who you are But killing my family is going too far You pushed us out, then asked for appeal The life you’ve been living is considerably too real You’ve taken a dip, and now you’re too low Just take your things and go Oh brother, please hear me It’s a song in my head I no longer care if you’re living or dead Your life it means nothing, to you or your wife Compared to the pot and the skag and the ice! You stole from the dying, because you are sick I’m very much hoping your death hasn’t been quick You’ve taken a wrong turn, and you’ve done it again Heaven won’t let you in

The Close 02:53
I hitchhiked my way from Dijon to Bordeaux While you were in the art room playing silly songs It wasn’t long before my pride got the best of me And, it wasn’t long before the show You took hold of my hand, and then let me fall through waiting arms Tell me what’s this young man to do? A brash sober response, or a well thought out drunken plea Which route is the right way to go? How many times must you break my wounded heart How long until we're through And when, when will I understand, That I’m not the man for you? So then I went back, across the world to my home town Just to lie in bed alone How will you show me that you ever gave a care? How will I know your words are true? There’s this certain notion that keeps me warm on lonely nights Darling this is also hard for you So think of me please, and listen to my happy songs Just know that I wrote them for you How many times do you have to smash my strawberry tart? How many times until we’re through? How long will it take for me to understand, That I’m not the man for you?

Chariot 04:52
Here I am, slip sliding away Flowing down the river bed to Here we go, day dreaming now Screaming ‘till our feet hit the ground Lift me up, hold me near Take me to where I need to be Because the sun shines on the mountain tops And the rivers flow to where she is And the wind cries of my pain And tells of how much I need You Flowers turn, as the sun crosses the sky Take me when the chariot rides! The moon she smiles, and lifts her head Please show me where to go from here! Because the sun shines on the mountain tops And the rivers flow to where she is And the wind cries of my pain And tells of how much I need Because the sun shines on the mountain tops And the rivers flow to where she is And the wind screams of my pain And tells of how much I need You

Shine 04:28
Waking up is heaven, when I’m next to you Bathing in the fresh light, tasting the morning dew Playful shadows shift as, the sun passes on All wrapped up together, dressed up like new-borns Fireflies light the darkness, like you light mine Take the time to admire; the ones who make us shine Spent the evening talking, to bards about their prose Spent the evening watching, the models strike their pose Dusk is a pretty hour, sitting on the hill A silhouetted city, becomes a mental still And as the streetlights brighten, we’ll make a toast with our wine To all the times remembered, to the ones who make us shine I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon, I’ll be with you soon
