survivor's tale
03:41
|

|
one with the scars, on the mountainside,
where the aeroplane crashed.
down with the wrecks under the waves and their broken sails.
too far away from the distant shore to save myself,
too many reasons to fall.
three wishes wasted, freedom only tasted,
it burnt my mouth, I spat it out and put on more chains.
four years ago when it all came down I was underground,
for...all the reasons I don't know.
five still alive, a survivor's tale, right off the rails.
fine, but I nearly lost it all.
six gun with one shell, a single shot toward hell.
the sound rang out...you drowned it out,
opened up your mouth and went crashing down,
with a scream of pain.

little things*
04:11
|

|
the little things that get me down,
a broken string, a piercing sound.
another shave when the blood runs out,
no confidence, a million doubts.
they're all so trivial and yes it's comforting to know,
that I am a miracle of creation, I am
but all I feel is dislocation.
so unreal.
my favourite band have broken up,
no-one's listening, now they've had enough.
all the world to me...really touched my heart,
drowned in a sea of thieves and sharks.
was it all for nothing, because I really want to know,
if I am a miracle of creation, I am
when all I feel is dislocation.
so unreal.
yes I am a miracle of creation, I am
but all I feel is dislocation.
so unreal...so unreal.

tomorrow never comes, it's such a waste of time,
you duck and run for cover, I stand here left behind.
one moment to the next the city slides away,
we're building in the wilderness.
and now it rains inside of the walls in my house,
I feel ashamed and hide behind the walls,
inside out, in the wilderness.
and we are siamese, I just can't get away,
and when I turn around is when you turn away.
I look toward the future, you stare into the past,
but we are going nowhere.
because it rains inside of the walls in this house,
and we decay behind broken doors,
inside out, in the wilderness.
can you feel the pain inside of the walls,
we all decay in time.
broken bones in the sand of the desert.

empty heart
04:32
|
|||
|
don't take it personal when I say I hate you,
when I underrate you.
yes I blame you when things go wrong,
call you weak when I know you're strong.
this empty heart,
it's just a failure inside of me,
shattered and scarred,
another crack in my armour,
my empty heart,
and I'm ashamed when I let you see,
falling apart,
the devil inside the charmer.
don't take it personal when I say I love you,
but I'm so far above you,
and I find fault when it's not there,
and I act like I just don't care.
this empty heart,
there's something broken inside of me,
shattered and scarred,
and when I look in the mirror,
my empty heart,
I'm afraid of the man I see,
falling apart,
the taker holding the giver.
don't take it personal when I just ignore you,
when I see right through you,
I'm caught up in my own despair,
god I'm so blind I can't see you're there.
this empty heart,
there's something missing inside of me,
shattered and scarred,
and in the place where my heart should be,
my empty heart,
there's an empty hole,
falling apart,
waiting for a soul.
it's nothing personal,
don't take it personal.
