Beyond Our Eyes 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Is this not quite what you expected to see? Are you afraid that things might not return again? Beyond our eyes are things that welcome you But all along they've been beneath the surface waiting to claw in To claw right through... Do I alarm you with disgrace? Or is it buried deep within your yearning to be me? Beyond our eyes are things that frighten you But now they're gone to leave a lust that you will never satisfy... Are you afraid? Are you afraid to let me die?

AnnaBelle 04:56
lyrics

AnnaBelle, are you well? Did you swallow up somebody's evil? Can you speak? Are you weak? Is there someone behind that blank stare? AnnaBelle, I can tell From the way that you used to need me Like a crow in the snow You're a shadow that hangs in the air Church bells ring and children sing... AnnaBelle cast a spell That will punish the one that deceived you For a while, as they smile They won't notice the darkness they wear AnnaBelle, as you fell Had you bitten the hand that would feed me? Was that glow just a show? Or something you'd rather not share? We can't see the things that make her smile For a while We can't hear the song she sings - a child... Whoah... AnnaBelle, are you well? Did you swallow up somebody's evil? Whoah... AnnaBelle, I can tell From the way that you used to need me Whoah... AnnaBelle..­. Whoah... AnnaBelle cast a spell That will punish the one that deceived you Whoah... AnnaBelle, as you fell Did you swallow up somebody's evil? Whoah... AnnaBelle

Save Your Tears 02:53
lyrics
buy track
The ecstasy in the air held tight In your little putrid room of white To feel the fate of your purity In your battered Christianity Do you ever think when a hearse rolls by That you might be the next to die? The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out Till they wreak havoc all about Save all your tears for me Save all your tears Save all your tears for me Save your tears The light, the sounds The fear to think what's right The lost you've found Are blind within your sight

Broken Memories 03:07
lyrics
buy track
I found a piece of how things used to be Today it won't mean anything That would matter to you From time to time I'll reminisce To not forget it once meant everything But that's no longer true The more I thought that things could change The more I knew they'd stayed the same, Don't let that bother you or occupy your brain It's just some broken memory I left out in the rain Don't want to sit where I stood yesterday But still I can't stop wondering What I left there to do Through day by day I'd be afraid This violent storm would not stop thundering Had I stayed there with you The more I thought that things had changed The more I knew they'd stayed the same Don't let that bother you or occupy your brain It's just some broken memory I left out in the rain I just couldn't try to be somebody else I tried to find something inside Which only left me here just wandering But you won't let me move So now I've spent the words I meant To keep inside and leave you pondering Things you never could prove So now you know why things have changed But let's pretend I've gone deranged Just take your shots at me to get me to behave Now I'm just some broken memory You can take to your grave

No More Goodbyes 03:52
lyrics
buy track
When I was younger I thought I knew But my memories faded as I grew So now I stand on my own to face this life alone You know, sometimes we all fall down And it seems like there's no-one around To lead us on our way On this path we've gone astray You play the game to win You stay away from sin You cry your tears of blood and rain To wash away your pain Nights spent in darkness, child And you can't see As the mist clears from your eyes There'll be no more goodbyes The rainbow of light shines on And the rain that fell is now long gone To a world where evil lives To a place no one forgives You play the game to win You stay away from sin You cry your tears of blood and rain To wash away your pain Nights spent in darkness And you can't see As the mist clears from your eyes Oh, there'll be no more goodbyes

Is It Me? 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Is it me, the one who haunts your dreams? Through restless sleep awoken by your screams Is it me, at night beneath your bed? Am I the past inside you trapped inside your head? Is it me, the need that beckons you at night? Is it me, you feed when switching off the lights? Is it me, the shadow on your wall? Twisted shapes emerge from darkness down the hall Is it me, underneath your skin Or is it just a trace of fear you've left within? Is it me, the need that beckons you at night? Is it me, you feed when switching off the lights? Is it me, the need that beckons you at night? Is it me, you feed when switching off the lights? Is it me, that made the night grow freezing cold? Is it me, you've left to occupy your soul?

Amusement 04:31

Well, I can't seem to find How to smuggle the time to stay amused 'Cause I'm only in tune When the sun and the moon seem to confuse This eclipse feels just like taking no for an answer Only then does that dream flesh well out like a... If I'd spoke right, my head I'd have much better said what went wrong With a will turned to stone I assumed that the droning was gone Then attempted to talk with a headspace so scattered Till I so clearly seem as productive as... How insanity works seems to burn all that know When repeating yourself still leaves no-ones mind blown When no-one will catch what you throw, but you throw... ...and you throw Well, imagining what it should do just kills what it could do But at least it explains why so few things could keep me amused Only nearly asleep does the story form faster Till it all fleshes out in your head like a...

Stranger to This Town 02:56
lyrics
buy track
I know how things ought to be And it's not quite like what you now see But there's a faint reflection of quaint familiarity The bank became a liquor store It's near the bar in case you need some more And up the road's a pawn shop where they'll let you sell your dignity Vacant buildings all around, a giant cross planted in the ground ...and I feel so disconnected from the life I know from memory They say you never can go home again 'Cause it will only bring you down And there's a part of me that I've never left behind That's not a stranger to this town And I keep on trying to go home again But it only breaks me down There's a part of me that I'm trying hard to find That's not a stranger to this town

Off With Her Head 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Became a god tonight To claim the throne that was due to Me The time for a new god to grow And raise His hand... to strike The axe and the maces clash Strike the blow to the one who opposes Me The fear and the blood runs red Off with their heads Off with their heads Rolling skies and the fields of tomorrow Off with their heads God needs a field to rule The path through the garden of light to pass God needs a palace green God takes his queen God's queen shall serve Him well Drop the blades on the traitors who worship him God's queen is filled with greed Off with her head Off with her head Rolling skies and the fields of tomorrow Off with her head God prays to a field of His dreams The warlords approach from the south gate and... To crush all of God's dreams with lies Is this My end? The axe and the maces clash To take what is rightfully mine to take God falls and His blood runs red Off with his head! Off with his head Rolling skies and the fields of tomorrow Off with his head Off with Her head Rolling skies and the fields of tomorrow Off with Her head

Road to Yesterday 03:51
lyrics
buy track
It's only your reflection staring back in your direction Casting back the shadows in your eyes But time moves very quickly as your tarnished soul grew sickly Ruptured by the truth of days gone by Your youth is gone and your day of judgment calling You've stumbled and it seems you've lost your way Through tired eyes you can see that you are falling Headed down the road to yesterday The lessons you have learned from the pages that you have turned It makes you want to wipe the words away But there isn't any time to rehearse another line The story's nearly over anyway Your youth is gone and your day of judgment calling You've stumbled, it seems you've lost your way Through tired eyes you can see that you are falling Headed down the road to yesterday

Never Asked For This 03:58
lyrics
buy track
There are things I want to say But I'm scared of things that may Hurt the ones who've given me their trust They just could never be Without killing you and me So they just stay buried deep down where they must When you look into my eyes Do you see through my disguise? Or is there something more that gives it all away? I could never ask you this... But if you felt the same Who would be to blame? And how should we ignore what can't exist? 'Cause everyone would lose If we were to choose To take what we don't have before it's missed When you look into my eyes Do you see through my disguise? Or is there something more that gives it all away? I never asked for this Someday things could change Instead of having to be strange Till then I'll lock the door and I'll throw away the key But if you hear somebody knocking, know it's me So I guess you're bound to know If you haven't seen it show But there isn't anything that should be said So I'll do the best I can to never play my hand And always keep those thoughts within my head When you looked into my eyes Did you see through my disguise? Or was there something more that gave it all away? I never asked for this

All of My Nights 03:04

Been ten long years since I've been away from you These last four nights I hear from you These last four years that I cannot steal from you These last few nights I sing through you No, I can't believe All of my Nights I wish that you could be here Right beside me

Another Way 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I'm happy when others are sad Sometimes I feel as though I'm just going mad At times I feel as though the whole human race Should be forgotten and removed from this place I've seen the heartache and I've dealt with the pain I've seen the sun shine when it's hidden by rain I've seen the lonely and the tears that they cry I've tasted hatred, I've kissed love goodbye Now it seems it's time to walk away And now it seems it's time to change Listen to me, here's what I would say I think my line is rather strange So here I am, exposed to the light I dropped my guns and I surrendered the fight Out from the warmth to get out of the cold I'm set ablaze and I shall never grow old I won't grow old I won't grow old I won't grow old I walk alone

Nobody's Hero 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I never meant to be your hero I always meant to meet you halfway there Never meant to be the silent cut you feel Or the scars that you wear I never wanted you to notice Where I keep things locked away inside I've tried not to let it all hang out From the places I hide Here it comes again and now there's no place to run There it goes again and now the damage is done And if you think I didn't listen And if you're thinking that I went too far Just try now to walk inside these boots You might just see how things are Now we're facing two directions The two of us not where we wish to be And now we still both still think we know What the other can't see And here we go again and now there's no place to run There we fall again and now the damage is done You thought if you lied to yourself That things would feel the same Did you stop to consider this? It wasn't me to blame So now I've cut myself wide open I didn't mean to bleed for quite so long But now the from the final cut you've made It's clear that I don't belong It shouldn't hurt so much to need you It should be easy just to walk away Shouldn't cost a pound of flesh and blood I've made For a price I won't pay Here it comes again and now there's no place to run There it goes again and now the damage is done Here it comes again and now there's no place to run There we fall again and now the damage is done

The Flood 04:48
lyrics
buy track
When the face that's looking back at you Appears now to be strange Was it them or you who changed? Eyes that hold an emptiness Where once had burned a flame But have long since felt the same Our dreams, they never mattered Because they never could come true And if all the things we did came flooding back to you What would you do? What could you do? You took away much more from me than I ever could believe Another heart ripped from your sleeve And maybe you'll regret the things you never meant to say But here they are, not going away Our dreams, they never mattered 'Cause they never could come true And if all the things we did came flooding back to you What would you do? What could you do? And if you're closing your eyes to the world You'll be blinded by the things you won't see Infatuation that's so easy to lose Perspective of just who we should be Sometimes I can't disguise the pain Sometimes I can't release the things that go wrong in my world Your eyes look so different to me So lost, but they're trying to see Your eyes look so different to me At what cost should it matter to me? Your eyes look so different to me The words change the way things could be Your eyes held a secret from me It's too late for the answer to be set free

Nightshade 04:15
lyrics
buy track
If I was to say to you All the things that I can do for you Would you deny me or choose not to believe? Lovers crawl beneath the tide And I cannot be shamed I can bring you everything Why can't you just receive? Goddamn you It's growing stronger now You're weakening This nightmare never ends You were just a stranger here In this garden of the truth Beckoning your every prayer Yet, you deny the proof Lovers swept beneath the tide And still I am not shamed I created everything and you can never leave Goddamn you It's growing stronger now You're weakening This nightmare never ends Take my hands and drown with me And watch the years go by Electrify, intensify, and justify the lie Saturate the elements And take a look around I am one with all that turns And you cannot be found And so as you hear these words To idolize the years Beckoning your every prayer And drying up your tears Lovers lost beneath the tide Find you left afraid Welcome to eternity of nightshade in your dreams Goddamn you It's growing stronger now You're weakening, This nightmare never ends
