Beyond Dreaming
03:30
|

“Beyond dreaming, I know it really doesn’t matter at all”
Breaking myself to try to forget and
Telling myself it really doesn’t matter at all
I lie. I know it’s the truth
I should let you drift
(Drift away)

Angels Pout For Cameras
03:41
|

Racing horses running through my mind
Will I win? Will I die? Oh
Either way, the world’ll make your choice for you
Mirror minded. Always somewhere else
All real choices on the shelf
My heart is draining out like a tap for you
Closed as the angels pout for cameras
I’m left to blunder
Hope as the angels pout for cameras
Pull me under
I never needed heaven
Mirror minded. Always somewhere else
All real choices on the shelf
My heart is draining out like a tap for you
Closed as the angels pout for cameras
I’m left to blunder
Hope as the angels pout for cameras
Pull me under
Pull me under
I never needed heaven
(I can’t find my way back home
I can’t hold my heart together)

The Man Who Made Me
03:15

Devil mines suffered lies
Takes ‘em right to the flies
You were there. Eating at the wrong side of the table
Stood and stared. Turning at the moment we created our love
Spinning round my family tree
There’s nothing here that I can keep
Trouble comes. The sirens call
Right here, I’m sprawled out on the chapel floor waiting for the “man” who made me
Devil mine. No advice. Ever tired. Ever tried
Empty prayers leaning on the song side of the cradle
Every fear screaming on the wrong side of the scales weighing our love
Judgement falls. I’m far away
It’s crushing. More that I can take
Paintings cry all up the walls
And here, I’m sprawled out on the bedroom floor waiting for the “man” who made me
Feel the rain is coming down
Let’s walk home
Feel the reign is coming down
Let’s walk home

Loving Arms
03:26
|

Heaven is a place I still picture I will get to
Even though I have no faith, I’m a child looking at the sky
I believe I will meet loved ones who have passed away when I die
“What were you thinking when they told you it was fake?
You continued to believe it ‘til it almost bent and broke you
Now there’s just a space where there once were loving arms
Just a black hole in space and time. Sucking all the little life”
I am in decline (talking all the time)
I am in decline (not feeling better)
I am in decline (where the hell did I go?)
I am in decline (what do I know?)
I see hell in your eyes
I know that you despise so much
I see you in disguise
Why don’t we swim to paradise?
Letting go of all the hell that’s happened in our lives
“Why” isn’t really our concern
“Why” leaves us nothing but hurt
I’m a child looking at the sky
I believe I will meet loved ones who have passed away when I die

Something. Something compels me to tell you things
To make you want to cry
Maybe you’ll love me. Or fuck me at least
I’m wasting away. Go home alone
It’s just Nighttalk
It’s just Nighttalk, baby
It seems at midnight, we’re all going backwards
Something. Something just made me be real with you
I’m scared I’m gonna die
Please love me. Or hug me at least
I’m talking my life away. Living in denial
It’s just Nighttalk
It’s just Nighttalk, baby
It seems at midnight, we’re all going backwards

Broken Balloons
03:34
|

Cherish nothing at all
Hide you heart in imaginary model homes
I talk to God and I told him that I have a better answer
He said “it’s only gonna find you”
(Make my way downtown)
Broken Balloons. They’re only gonna find you
Waltzing lonely til death
Scared to live, nothing more than a pirouette to death
You know the answer
Again “it’s only gonna find you”
(Make my way downtown)
Broken Balloons. They’re only gonna find you
Marching time just for show
Entertained by a broken silhouette of hope
I talk to God and he tells me that he knows all the answers
Then says “it’s only gonna find you”
Apparent electrical charge
And all it was just some blood or tears that are welling up in my head
Dirty cities. All I wanted was a hand
And he said “it’s only gonna find you”
Make my way downtown
I don’t believe in heaven. Just you and me

Disintegration Pains
04:11
|

|
Summer seeds by the winter dead
Treading water
And these buried needs building in my chest
(Feeling it all spread)
Is there a bigger key to the lock we made
On our bodies
Cos I’m gonna need it before it spreads
All we can do is (hold on)
I never listened. Feeling it glisten
I never missed it. Now I would kiss it
But there’s no other way
Feeling forever. Knowing it’s never
Disintegration to no position
There’s no other way
Stars and scenes better second guessed
So I feel you
Cells receding in my dread
I tried to wear it. It was never quite right
I tried to tell you but you had better things in mind
I’m gonna need it before it spreads
Breath revealing
Why do you listen when they open up and hate you?
Why don’t you feel it. Turn around and make something of yourself
I know that it’s very nearly over
I know that it’s very nearly time

Heartbreaker House
Up on the hill
Spending the years full of fear
Don’t believe that I’m living here still
The skies grow thick. I can’t see the stars
Roads upon roads against money and angels have smouldered my heart
With the wolves at the door
Can I call you up?
Can I waste your time?
All the angels have left
I pour another drink and go out of my mind
Cos I’ve been searching for a cure
To rid me of your sweet melody
The sound and the taste of all’s overwhelming
It’s rained down on me
The skies grow thick. I can’t see the stars
Roads upon roads against money and angels have smouldered my heart
They darken the sky so late at night and I cannot sleep
Dreaming awake
As the ghosts overtake
Gather at my seat
Cos I’ve been searching for a cure for this bad dream
Rains will fall. 5.45 calls. I won’t be vacant anymore
I’ll jump out the window at the squalor of it all
I didn’t know. I didn’t prepare for the fall
I’ve been searching for the cure

Find A Feeling To Share
03:07
|

Cold hands, warm heart. Is that a place to start?
I know. Move on. The road to places I don’t know
Can I feel you in there?
Time is starting to tell
Shrouded. Distance. Despair
Find a feeling to share
Old hands. New cards. The games rigged from the start
Dull dreams. Cold home. The road to places I don’t know
Can I feel you in there?
Time is starting to tell
Shrouded. Distance. Despair
Find a feeling to share
Old. All you want
Side by side. Move away

Disappointed friends
And ones that just pretend
Feel it as it sucks you dry
I know I want to apprehend
And amend
Well I fought the fight
For a couple of years
We’ll end it all as a widow
In Barcelona’s might, we’ll take flight
Well you better find a pair of red shoes
Cos home ain’t-a comin’ soon
And lifting up your dress to a witch ain’t much to prove
And Dorothy I live for your dreams
But I only ever hear your screams
And clicking your heels in the dirt meant so much to me
I saw my baby
She was turning blue
Then Lust for Life turned over
I knew that the dream was through
And I woke and knew
Your Berlin heart
Your knuckles white
Drew blood on walls and cheeks
I knew that they’d all declare
You’d become the night
Well you better buy a pair of red shoes
‘Cause there’s so much dirty dancing to do
And lifting up your dress to a witch ain’t much to prove
And Dorothy I live for your dreams
But all I ever hear are your screams
And clicking your heels in the dirt meant so much to me
What have we done?
Take it away from me
Take it away from me
Oh England.
What have you done?
You took her away from me

Lost in the heat
Nothing short of insanity
What am I gonna do without you?
I’ve come to know
Life gets stuck in gears
Moments come and go
For 20 years
Blood and tears
Thicken quick
When you appear, You make me lost in the heat
Nothing short of insanity
What am I gonna do without you?
I feel the time
Ticking in my chest
Buried a friend
You were never there
In the end
When you appear, you make me lost in the heat
Nothing short of insanity
What am I gonna do without you?
(And I still think you’re there)

Rebirth

Lights out
I feel love
Something I'm dreaming of
'Cause I can hardly feel as if you're gonna get it
And if you never get it back
what are you gonna do?
And I'll be with you as you paint the scene
I never saw it when you came to me
And all the colours on the movie screen
That's you
That's me
'Cause I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
Liars are never gonna get desire
Never gonna get desire
Never gonna get desire
Liars are never gonna get desire
Never gonna get desire
Never gonna get desire
I'll dream of you
If you prove
I'll dream of you
If you prove
