Funeral Shroud
05:04
|
|||
Broken one, the city lights are turning on—
you’re far away, and everything is going wrong.
Broken sun, the future’s bleak and slowly fading.
Oh, listless girl, the sky is open and it’s waiting.
Funeral shroud—the fabric is for tearing.
Sterile crowd—it’s so much effort caring.
Funeral shroud—the fabric is for tearing.
Sterile crowd—it’s so much effort caring.
Plain and fun, the serotonin’s flowing on,
you’re far away from who you love and there’s no one.
Weighs a ton, scar tissue filling clouds—
it starts to rain, and you don’t give a damn about anything.
Funeral shroud—the fabric is for tearing.
Sterile crowd—it’s so much effort caring.
Pierce the gray with your shining eyes,
pierce the gray with your unheard cries,
no matter what, how hard we try,
there’s always lows, there’s always highs.
Pierce the gray with your shining eyes,
pierce the gray with your unheard cries,
no matter what the night implies
can’t shatter time, can’t hit rewind.

Breaking In Your Arms
03:43
|
|||
Bury me, bury me and then move on—hurry.
Didn’t mean, didn’t mean to be withdrawn—scary.
Whoa—agony—whoa.
Have I burned, have I burned my only friend? Surely.
Never learned, never learned how to pretend—purely.
Whoa—irony—whoa.
Yeah, trying to go on,
breaking in your arms,
breaking in your arms.
I can’t go on without you,
I’m breaking in your arms.
. . .
Whoa—apathy—whoa.
Yeah, trying to go on,
breaking in your arms,
breaking in your arms.
I can’t go on without you,
I’m breaking in your arms.

Nightmare
03:13
|
|||
This is my nightmare—
I see with eyes clear.
My heart heads home now,
stuck in my hometown.
. . .
This is my nightmare—
my darkly held fear.
You rip your white gown,
head for your hometown.

Gone
03:36
|
|||
Wrote me a letter from the psych ward—
they took away your laces and the H that you scored.
Blue socks they gave you, so you’d never slip and fall.
You fall apart anyway, what’s the point of it all?
Gone, gone, you are gone.
Gone, gone, you are gone.
Gone, gone, you are gone.
Gone, gone, you are gone.
5150, now you’re on your own,
you’re sick and lost, even in your own home.
After the hospital nothing really changed,
cuz what’s the difference with a needle in your vein?
Gone, gone, you are gone.
Gone, gone, you are gone.
Gone, gone, you are gone.
Gone, gone, you are gone.
The ground is waiting up in Glendale—
the coffin’s waiting, it just needs one last nail.
White dresses in the wind blow ragged, free and wild—
without a body they just float for a while.

Flight
03:54
|
|||
Darkness—I leave behind.
Heavy—the sky is blind.
Hold me—I am dying.
Kill me—I will go flying.
Hold me now.
Kiss me now.
Hit me now.
Hold me down.
Sharpness—deceives the mind.
Heavy—the cry of spines.
Fold me—I am drying.
Fill me—I’ll keep on trying.
Hold me now.
Kiss me now.
Hit me now.
Hold me down.

Oh Stella
03:08
|
|||
Fell in love with you in the mosh pit—
someone broke your nose, got my teeth hit in.
Oh Stella, darkness gathers round you,
I can feel it when I put my arms around you.
Dreamed of kissing you on a starship, but you
dreamed about the trap and a Glock - 9 on your hip.
Oh Stella, there’s so much more about you,
I die inside when I live this life without you.
And I see you by my side,
but you just wanna die,
all you think about is getting high—
[ By my side ]
[ Oh Stella ]

Who Am I to You
03:04
|
|||
So you wanna sit in the car now?
So you wanna take it far now?
Secrets.
So you wanna tell me your fears now?
So you want me to be all ears now?
Oh.
So there’s no more to discuss now?
So you wanna turn to dust now,
and leave it?
So you wanna start the fire now?
Stack the bones up and light the pyre now?
Burn my soul out?
[ To impress him, he takes on his multi-armed form… he says, “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” ]
Who am I to you?
Who am I to you?
. . .
Who am I to you?
Who am I to you?

We Fade
03:24
|
|||
You’re such a pretty girl
with a tattoo on your face—
I am a city boy
and isn’t that a waste?
I know your secret now
but I know that you’ll fade anyhow—
time will show,
time will show.
We fade away.
We fade away.
We fade away.
We fade away.
You’ve got such pretty curls,
and I’m lost in your embrace—
no need to try and die,
just wait for time’s disgrace.
You know we made a vow
that we’d try to make it through somehow—
I don’t know,
I don’t know.
We fade away.
We fade away.
We fade away.
We fade away.

Into the Sun
04:08
|
|||
Look into my, look into my eyes.
And when you see in, and when you see inside—
hey, the shadow’s rising, alive.
Whoa, the shadow’s rising, to the edges of the light.
Shine on into the sun, into the,
shine on into the sun.
Look right through my, look right through my guise.
Don’t you agree that, don’t you agree I shine?
Hey, the nighttime seizes my life.
Whoa, the dark diseases will go bursting in the bright.
Shine on into the sun, into the,
shine on into the sun.
