Patience they say is a virtue
And I know that they mean what they say
I've got all the time in the world babe
Good luck if you stand in my way
And I know the key to unlock you
I know how to make you mine
Not sure if you're ready for this babe
But it's far too late for you to run and hide
And you know that I will devour you
I'll chew you up and spit you out
And you've known it for all of your life babe
No room for confusion or doubt
You knew that someday
You would be somebody's prey
Well darlin', today's your judgement day
Sweetheart, today's your judgement day
And I know that your doors will come open
It's just gonna take some time
I'm patient as a spider in her web
And I know how to make you mine
You are powerless, I'm in control babe
You are helpless and stupid and weak
You should lay back and try to enjoy it
Shut your mouth, now there's no need to speak
And you know that I will devour you
I'll chew you up and spit you out
And you've known it for all of your life babe
No room for confusion or doubt
You knew that someday
You would be somebody's prey
Well darlin', today's your judgement day
Sweetheart, today's your judgement day
You know that I know how to break you
You've known it for quite a while
It'll just sting a little at first babe
Relax, just say yes, nod and smile
Nothing personal, dear, I just need you
It's just in my nature to feed
And you're trapped here, you might as well give up
Your struggle won't work, guaranteed.
Patience they say is a virtue
To achieve it is worth any price
Well patience for me's not a virtue
In my hands it's become a vice

To Cast a Spell
04:30
|

I once was broken
Wrecked and abandoned
Face underwater
Head slipping under
I found the tether
That kept me grounded
Sure was astounding
Saved me from drowning
It rescued me
It rescued me
Can't face up to this
Not ready for prime time
Still running away
Can't find the words
To cast a spell
To make it real
So I run away
I run away
Keep running away
Made it to dry land
Crawled out of the ocean
Safe from the shipwreck
What did I expect?
Slowly it moved through me
What I had discovered
Kept undercover
It was a wonder
I was cowardly
So cowardly
Can't face up to this
Not ready for prime time
Still running away
Can't find the words
To cast a spell
To make it real
So I run away
I run away
Keep running away
Now I'm more grounded
Head in the blue sky
Feet on the cold earth
Free as a wild bird
I feel much better
The storm I did weather
Kept it together
I found my tether
To reality
To reality
I'll face up to this
I'm ready for fallout
Not running away
I'll find the nerve
To move ahead
I won't look back
I'm ready to stay
I'm ready to stay
Not running away

Bad Salad

We'll I'm not one to say
The end is what we need
That it's what we deserve
For all of our bad deeds
But maybe this is true
Maybe this is fine
Maybe this is welcome
Would I miss this life of mine?
Would I miss this life of mine?
Have you ever needed
Ever needed somebody
Somebody you'd called your own
Who's never coming home?
If I had the world in my hands
To choke the life out of it
If everything ends
What difference would it make
When we leave this world
And it's not if but when
If everything burns
Life finds a way in the end
Life finds a way in the end
Have you ever needed
Ever needed somebody
Somebody you'd called your own
Who's never coming home?

Take the Remains

And I know and I know and I know
That I'm always wrong
It's the look in your eye
Got me singing the same old song
How can I doubt (please don't)
When you say that you're there for me (doubt me)
How can you cry when I've given you
All that I've got?
Oh
I can't remember (hurt me)
How long I've been breaking (break me)
Giving to someone (make me)
Who feels like I'm taking it all
All of me
I love you with all of my heart but it's been too long
Can't make it OK, can't hear when you say that it's wrong
Right won't keep me alive (I'll survive)
When I'm lost in the nights (stay alive)
Of our choosing this suffering endlessly
On and on and on and on
Oh
And now I'm back (should I)
And I'm facing the anguish (hold on?)
Of night after night (stay here?)
As sickness and sadness goes on
Oh be free
Free and courageous and laughing and loving and strong
Drivin' on into the fires of a will so long
Fires that will heal (burning me)
So you'll never be wanting (from outside)
From something from outside your cave
Of impossible love
Oh
No I can't just leave (I'm here)
No not after all of this (I'll stay here)
Time I've believed in (I'll wait for)
A heart that can carry us on
Oh leave me
Leave me before I can summon the will to go on
Tear off the bandages, baby just break free and run
Tear me apart (run from me)
I swear I can live through this (don't be slow)
Take what you've got and can carry
And head for the sun
Oh
Take all the weight
Of the plains you will walk upon
Take the remains
Of a love
That was never enough
Oh
Should I?
Hold on?
Stay here?
When it's never enough

File Under Fire
06:00
|
|||
|
I feel the tempest raging through the heart of me
When I thought that I was over this, I thought that I was free
And I'm feeling like I'm trapped inside a darkly colored glass
When I only thought before that this would pass.
Manage my mistrust, put my back against a wall
I'm not brave enough to run away, barely strong enough to crawl
Inside my chest I feel the stirrings of a spark
Howling sad and mournful in the dark
Though I see its light and feel its warmth upon my skin
A fire needs oxygen to burn and I can't breathe to let it in
And although this little spark is ready to combust
It will only burn out into ash and dust
Press it down
Snuff it out
There's no need to think about
All the ways in which you probably won't get burned
You'd think by now I really would have learned.
It's hard to tell the difference when you're suffering this much
When you're desperate for affection, when you're starved of warmth and touch
When you're punishing yourself for all your old imagined sins
It's not the place a fire can begin
Though I see its light and feel its warmth upon my skin
A fire needs oxygen to burn and I can't bear to let it in
And though I'd like to set this spark into a flame
A fire isn't something I can tame
Press it down
Snuff it out
There's no need to think about
All the ways in which you probably won't get burned
You'd think by now I really would have learned.
Sweet salvation is so very hard to find
When you're trapped inside the darkness of a wounded, weary mind
Is the light ahead a beacon for a shelter from this pain
Or is it the headlamp of a speeding train?
Press it down
Snuff it out
There's no need to think about
All the ways in which you probably won't get burned
You'd think by now I really would have learned.
Press it down
Snuff it out
There's no need to think about
All the ways in which you probably won't get burned
You'd think by now I really would have learned.

The Circle
05:23
|
|||
|
What we are's a circle
An annular design
A neverending loop
Stretched out across all space and time
An interlocking puzzle
You cannot see the seams
You haunt all of my nightmares
I haunt all of your dreams
But I don't like control
So I don't want control
I don't need control
I long to breathe the air
Directly from your lungs
I want to live your words
But you speak to me in tounges
I'd take a bullet for you
I'd take away your pain
I'd take away your sorrow
Then do it all again
But I don't like control
So I don't want control
I don't need control
I take away your sorrow
I take away your pain
But you take everything from me
You take everything
I know it's not good for me
It's the worst that it could get
I'd tell you that I've had enough
But have I had enough yet?
Lock me up forever
And throw away the key
Never let me leave you
You're everything I need
Hide from your obligations
The cycle thus proceeds
Never learn to help yourself
I meet all your needs
But I don't like control
So I don't want control
I don't need control
I'm not free
But I don't wanna be

Role Reversal
04:23
|
|||
|
The only cure for you
Is a stake right through the heart
The only way to finish
Is to never ever start
The only way outside
Is to pass around and through
The only thing for me
Is to be nothing like you.
CHORUS
You're the one who's the vampire
You're the one who made me bleed
You're the on who's the vampire
Taking everything young from me
You're the one who's the vampire
You're the one who fears the flame
You're the one who's the vampire
And all this time I thought it was me
In the light of day
You break apart like dust
It was all a fantasy
No care, no light, no trust
The only way to win
Was not to play with you
The only thing for me
Is to tell you the truth
CHORUS
Drained of blood and time
And words and thoughts and deeds
The only form you take
Is the monster when it feeds
The silence in your heart
Was cold like polished stone
I had to get away
Leave me the fuck alone
CHORUS

Blue Mustang
04:05
|

|
It's been three days since I've seen the sunrise
Get in the car, Rob will drive
We've got all night
We'll roll past every street sign and stoplight
One perfect night
CHORUS
Let's spend the night with the stars
We'll run away
It's an adventure
Come get in the car
We'll run away
Front and the backseat both filled with laughter
Every curve, every turn
Never thinking of what might come after
So alive that we burn
CHORUS
Up on the hilltop is our destination
The taste of Hennessey
Rich on our tounges
Every night is a true celebration
We'll be forever young
CHORUS
