Just Go 02:15
JUST GO And there you go On your own I never thought you'd carry this weight all alone But you're there And it's easy It's easy just to see how hard it can be for you You keep on standing While the earth disappears beneath your feet You just go some place and you get outside of your head You're making new friends with the dead And all of the while, they think of you and smile At how you used to be How you used to be And the word is law But the law makes you unlawful You should know You've been here so many times before on your own And the past is never easy but you've tried You feel like you've just been trying all of your life sometimes But you, you knew all along

RAPTURE BLUES Running wild around these soulless streets where the people decompose like meat It's hard, when the Rapture's let you down Fly-blown thoughts and hopeless dreams Reluctant lovers and their sickening screams With only the scorched earth to stand upon They said that once a thousand years ago, that things would end this way I wonder what those crazy people up there have to say now? It took them up, and let us down in this abattoir of a town Where only loss and madness make a sound Fighting howling people keep on screaming But they know the good folks got let in And they got left behind "Hey slow down" Says a dark black hound that's catching up on you Grins and bares his fangs and says "It's True..." "You know just why you're here - you never should have done half them things you did" "And it's up to me to make sure that you pay" "And I'll hunt you and I'll haunt you everywhere you try to hide" "These blackened eyes will be upon you...all of the time" You got left behind forever, Left to sing the Left Behind in the Rapture Blues No afterlife for you, left behind Left behind to sing The Left Behind in the Rapture Blues In this Hades of a town...

The Distance 02:59
THE DISTANCE And I've heard it all before Every time you closed the door Every time you walked away to make things right And I've seen the way you change Every single hour and day Turning into something, somewhere, taking flight And you crawl You crawl away in the sun And you never once thought of why you had to go there You're somewhere in the distance It's amazing the distance Your mind, it's resistance You're calling me back there again, in the morning And you're calling me away And I don't want to stay But I know I'm gonna stay here anyway I hear you call me back again And I don't know where it is But I know it's somewhere hidden And they kept it from our eyes until we knew And you're always thinking something's wrong When there's no-one with you To pull you from the dark you find inside There's no place left here for you to hide It's just the same everyday Again and again and again and again and again And you crawl You crawl away in the sun And you never once thought of how far that you'd gone there You're somewhere in the distance

Sgt who 01:26
SGT WHO All in all, there's reason There's something in the way your target moves And you're dreaming of a space inside an empty room You just wonder why you had to be a sergeant In this war you never started and now you have got nothing to say About the people dying All around you every single day You hear them click and bang, You wonder what they had to say When they let them know That their son was never coming home again They see, it's pain for them But you, you don't feel nothing Empathy is less than zero now That machine ran out some time ago And nobody ever wants to see
5.
DAWN AT THE PLATFORM Now I'm running to the station I'm gonna see my baby She said she was coming - she's been gone for too long I'm watching and waiting and looking and waving And searching for her But she was never even on the train that day Now it's dawn at the platform Why she went away? Well I couldn't say (though I know too well) Maybe its the next one she'll be on She shouldn't be this long She said she'd greet me with open arms Another one comes, and another one stops, and another one rolls away again I'm gonna run to the platform But she was never even on the train that day But still I wait It's dawn at the platform now.
6.
NO WHISKEY OR WINE I am on fire with total desire The last of the best of the worst of the rest of the liars A hatcheting game The song stays the same As the flame in the hearts of the lovers expires But if they say I never loved you Or that I loved another just the same If you think there's some faraway day I'll forget you My dear, that's a shame For no whiskey or wine was to blame No whiskey or wine It was just so many loose wires in my brain No whiskey or wine was to blame And I'm sorry my love was never enough You played with my heart like a game And seeing I tried, there was no love left inside Just a broken down mind and a heart full of pain It was just 'a bad time' as they say And no whiskey or wine was to blame
7.
Walls 02:34
WALLS And they get lonely and they're ruined (final heartbeat) You got high, and so you knew Anyone at anytime, it could be right And they just love the way you do And they just heart about, you knew And you're only ever getting one more try They don't want you anyway So you keep back in your cave Letting others pull the weight down on your eyes Keep in mind, you're only alive for one life At one time it's all inside You got turned the other way And you couldn't keep that pace up much longer To hold the wall above you high Keep alive while you can, You're only lending hands to people who could help you on you way And they're only lies They're only time that you give And It's love that you take away I was on my oh, best behavior And I never saw the signs, or felt the danger With loving when you cannot see The wall about you head And the helmet that's been smashing over Time and time again And you just want to be with someone who could help you lend a hand to them They are walls You're the door
8.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WAS WRONG The past is never real You're always dreaming inside Even if you feel there's nothing left under your skin that's untied You can find out where you went wrong It doesn't matter who was wrong Now he's gone Maybe it's an old thing Everything in it's own way Maybe it's a new thing Just got born yesterday And you've tried so hard, you'll love someone I know I can see - you're stretching your arms out to me You could be real If you'd only see And you wait a wandering lifetime It doesn't matter who was wrong Now she's gone
9.
Signals Fade 03:00
SIGNALS FADE And you're never really no- one, but you're always just the same And they come inside when things get fired and fried up in the rain And they wonder where you were tonight, but no-one ever came And they're thinking about how life just turned out to be so strange And you're always there inside yourself And never here with them And they think about how time went by And how it strung them out again And I don't mind if you're thinking of a time When you were younger than you are now And you're levelling inside It's a lie And a strange way to be It's the strangest way you've ever known to be And you're hiding light inside your eyes Matters wondering where you were You're love-struck, too inspired And now you've changed, oh my how you've grown! A place where we were then was not where we would be alone And So, You Die, Untied In Life. Never really wrong You just seem to be gone Gone about your ways, and in world made of your own "Why don't time stand still, for a moment or two?" But it won't stay that way for me, or for you. It's just a line of keeping time Abandonado

GHOST SQUADRON Ghost squadron on the flying wings again Coming your way like a letter that was never wanted, Only received against your will Serving you with ordinates within itself And true, you'll find out out That's there's nothing in your head that you were thinking about at all When time went by And a letter in it's hand don't keep you down It's only post age, what you make of it Won't be your best of friends for now Loaded pistols in your hands Where you go now, no-one knows and very few will understand What you had to do Had in you What you're going through Taking matters into your own two hands I don't care where you've been it's over now Everybody's held them down Feeling until now Places where this ghost squadron don't know to fly You'll hide in there again in there Keeping yours, about your head and heart Your lonely days are here to stay Particles don't fall away - you're absorbed in where you've been And where you've played Don't try to fight it, you're not happy where you are.

CANT COMPLAIN No-one listens to anything anymore No-one listens to anything at all No-one listens to the sounds, or the words Or the way they rhyme in time to the beat It's over now, we've been defeated Our time has been undone So Long You'll never buy another song again So dance like no-one hears Dance like no-one hears The words to your song no more Celebrate! Celebrate!! Celebrate the dance for free for everyone to hear Forevermore It's yours, it's yours It's Yours But no-one listens anymore.

A LONELY PLACE TO BE Wringing the dreams from a sleepless night time It can't be easy Now you've got no-one to be with you at all Just the spectre of the love you knew, but left behind Only to find that dreaming is never easy In a lonely place to be A lonely place to be And you're living no life An inverted person Never needing Never seeing anything, or anyone Even the ghosts there want to run From this lonely place to be Now even your love has come undone And wringing the dreams from a sleepless night's no fun In a lonely place to be There can't be light in a vacuum, so dark, so all-encompassing And wringing the dreams from a sleepless night's no fun In a lonely place to be Wringing the dreams from a sleepless night time It can't be easy Now you've got no-one to be with you at all And you threw it all away for an airless crawlspace There inside your mind Where the spiders climb the broken piano strings Ringing page after page of unknown numbers Just to find the key To let you out of the door of this lonely place to be The loneliest place that you could be
13.
POISON THE EARTH And even if you'll never be right And even if you'll never be wrong And even if you'll never take lonely places all alone I do not think of anywhere I'd stay Where the people around me treated me the way they treated you that day And even if you'll never be right And even if you'll never be gone And even if you'll never take flight along a lonely path again And even if they the way they haunted you Will haunt their dreams alone And even if they couldn't even see how you had gone It's all to me the same It's all to me the way it should have been from day one to this day And even if the skies are gone And even if there's no stars to shine upon your head and even if you wind up dead alone too soon And even if the grave they put you in won't hold your spirit down And even if the hunger fades from you while you hang around there I know even if the sun don't shine Even if the wind won't blow Even if the grass won't grow no-more, upon the place you lay It'll only be because you've poisoned the earth You lay in, just like you poisoned the space that you took up above the ground Now that you're down, poison the soil Poison the greenest leaves that grow Poison the roots, and poison the earth Now that you've gone back to whence you came from Poison the ground you walked upon this life.
