Favorite track: Machines (Industrial sounds).
In the city streets
Where you first found your peace
With all the troubled dreams
Tangled at your naked feet
There's a terrible storm cloud around your head
It's taking over our hearts
It starts so small
Then the black water breaks around you
When you lose your head like that
I get so scared
Sometimes
There's a beautiful darkness inside your head
It's taking over our hearts
It's taking over our hearts
When you walk into the middle of the city there is no one
Though you try to keep your head above the water you are drowning
There's a terrible storm cloud around your head
It's taking over our hearts
I'm alright being alone for a while
With window panes and a comfortable rain
I'm alright drowning my head in it all
A thunder storm is good for the brain
Moving slowly
Barely breathing
Ours is a quiet love
Why this vacant,
Fixed expression?
Ours is a quiet love
But I won't be leaving my heart in the flood
A broken heart is stronger than none
So don't ask me to color in my world with your name
A lonely love will bury the pain
Moving slowly
Barely breathing
Ours is a quiet love
Hold me gently
Palms wide open
Ours is a quiet love
Moving slowly
Barely breathing
Ours is a quiet love
Why so vacant,
Fixed expression?
It's only the end of the world
Cornered in by conversation
Drowning out the foreign words
I can hear the distant whispers
I can feel the nameless voices
Searching every name and whisper
For a friendly face
Finding none
We don't need more confrontations
We don't need your hesitations
Here
Swallow every hidden comfort
By the face that pulls you in
Searching every name and whisper
For a clean escape
Finding none
We don't need more confrontations
We don't need your hesitation
We don't need more conversations
We don't need your hesitations
Here
Do they send you out
On your own again
Into the driving rain
Better hold me down
Wait for the warming sun
Oh the talk goes on
Oh they send you out
Into the driving rain
Better hold me down
Wait for the warming sun
We don't need your conversations
We don't need your hesitation
Here
We're older now
You stumble through the room
You're angel bright,
Electric blue,
Each labored breath
The girl I knew
Each labored breath
The girl I knew
We're colder now
Stumble...
Your ancient eyes
Hollowed through,
Each aching bone
The girl I knew
Each aching bone
The girl I knew
When the hour wraps it's fingers
'Round the bones of your skinny wrists
Will they spin us ugly stories
From the ash and dust of our lowly blood?
Communicate your fault
If it doesn't break your heart
I know what you have done
I know...
Does it build up all around you?
Do you buckle beneath the weight?
I know what you have done
I know what you have done
I know what you have done
I know...
We pull remaining fragments
Sunk deep inside our bodies
Of pointed words we both regret
Then retire to the choirs
Of wicked, stubborn silence
Till rescued by the stereo
Tugging at the strings that pull apart
The pieces of your photogenic heart
Does this make sense?
Eyes firm and standing sentry
Through crenellated temple
Nothing breaks your fortress walls
In tearful tones you whispered
Your bitter revelation:
Kiss me or we'll turn to stone
Tugging at the strings that pull apart
The pieces of your photogenic heart
Does this make sense?
I dreamed of you today
You felt so far away
What more do you want me to say?
I dreamed of you today
When the daylight breaks
I let you fade away
What more do you want me to say?
I dreamed of you today
Putting your beautiful brain in a box
Putting your beautiful brain in a box
I dreamed of you today
We felt so far away
What more do you want me to say?
I dreamed of you today
Putting your beautiful brain in a box
Putting your beautiful brain in a box
Putting your beautiful brain in a box
Putting your beautiful brain in a box
