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

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

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
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

Dawn at the Platform

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.

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

Walls

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

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

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
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

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

Poison the Earth

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.
