"Dream Of Waking"

"Dream Of Waking"



I feel it washing, over me,
slow poisonous tide.
Pins and needles, dance on me
sickness undefined.
Now I'm afraid, to face the sky,
please someone hear my haunting cry.

Please let them waken me, please let them waken me,
please let them waken me, please let them waken me.

Go!

With eyes sewn shut I still can see, I end up somewhere,
all that is surrounding me, somewhere in between,
Between a dream, I end up somewhere,
and motionless reality, will I forever lie?

I feel it binding, so smoothly,
I see myself below,
I feel it gnawing, eating me,
poisonous and slow.
My mind it speeds, my voice has died,
God let me make the faintest cry.

Please let them waken me, please let them waken me,
please let them waken me, please let them waken me.

Go!

With eyes sewn shut I still can see, I end up somewhere,
all that is surrounding me, somewhere between,
Between a dream, I end up somewhere,
and motionless reality, will I forever lie?

Binded by my hands, bind my legs, bind my eyes,
bind my mouth, bind everything.

Opened up, and for the taking,
just one touch and I'll be yours.
Open up, wide for the breaking
just one touch and I'll be yours.

What's on the other side, behind the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break, the static keeping me here in between,
What's on the other, side of the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break, the static keeping me here in between,
the static keeping me here in between.

"End Transmission"

"End Transmission"



Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.
I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky.
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star
then said "we never can truly know who we are."
know who we are.

With the lights out and the night inside
the broken radio was playing suicide.
I felt myself falling.
I confessed to you "I saw a body."
You said you'd seen a few.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.

Keep the top down use your knees to drive.
I'll hide these words. They're only yours to find.
You pressed your mouth on mine and said they'd call us stars.
You said "we never can truly know who we are."

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.

Everything was burning bright.
Everyone was frightened.
You said stay strong.
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited
still remains when we're gone.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, oh.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
I'll bring the gun
Oh...

"Endlessly, She Said"

"Endlessly, She Said"


[Whispering]

Walked into our world and made
Horrible sounds.
I can still hear them today
(strangely they seem)
Beautiful now,
though they outlast my love.

Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.

Every word.

"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.

I returned to you but found,
My empty home.
The radio told me to stay.
As it burned down
I sang alone.
You will outlast my love.

Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.

Every word.

"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.

Oh.

I have been waiting for you,
Biting as you taught me to.
I have come to relieve you,
Of life and love.

I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.

I will wait.

I will wait.

"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.

"I will wait for you"
Wait for you,
Endlessly.

"I will wait for you."
So spoke.

So spoke,
Misery.

I will bite straight through.
As I wait for you
Dear,
Endlessly.

"Ether"

"Ether"



Wear your tears tonight my dear.
I'd say they truly suit you,
unimpressed and moistly dressed.
I may decide to keep you.

I open my mouth
and drink down the sea.
You'd drown in me.
If savior sleep
would cease to evade.

I'd dream it all away.
I'm caught in the fall,
when I'm awake.
I'd cede my soul to take.
I'm no one at all
and nothing's changed at all.

I open my eyes
To lovers in flames
Praying
sleep will provide
us a cool escape

I'd dream it all away.
I'm caught in the fall,
when I'm awake.
I'd cede my soul to take.
I'm no one at all
and nothing's changed at all.

I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my...

I'd dream it all away.
I'm caught in the fall,
when I'm awake.
I'd cede my soul to take.
I'm no one at all
and nothing's changed at all.
At all.

"Ever And A Day"

"Ever And A Day"



Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose.
Lie in the darkness, I'm slowly drowned to sleep
Nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me.
So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
With nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.

Will you be my, be my beloved?
Will you help, help me to get through?
Will you be my, be my destruction?
Will you help, help me to be through?

Oh, ooooh, oh, oooh, oh, ooooh, oh, oooh,
Oh, oooooh, oh, oooooh, oh, oooooh, ooh, oooooh!

Will you be my, be my beloved?
Will you help, help me to get through?
Will you be my, be my destruction?
Will you help,
Three tears I've saved for you

"Exsanguination"

"Exsanguination"



Welcome the whole new pain and take comfort in what you've become.
I waved as I passed myself along the way.
I have arrived so unashamed but my reflection no longer seems the same.
It seems much dimmer now... it seems so dim. Just stumble and fall into a world that's over crowded.
And you will find me. Won't recognize me; and I won't recognize myself.
I've arrived so unashamed, but all my senses no longer seem the same.
I can sense everything. My sight's so clear.
In an instant, my life just slipped away, I fought for life, the whole time you were holding me down.
You watched me dying. Holding me down, you brought my rebirth.

"Fainting Spells"

"Fainting Spells"



Give me this before
I slip,
before I sink,
because I think
I may have found
the short way down
Just give me something
Somethings cold and clear
the love spent here,
as I had feared,
means nothing dear.
I pray to reason Il forget
Ill trade whats left

Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out
Desecrate til we die alone

I will defy
the pulse disguise
but please pretend
were still alive
if it gives you hope
I sung and drowned,
Im taking the short way down

Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone

Give me something I can take
to make the memories fade,
Poison kiss, remember this,
I was never meant for this day

Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone

Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
we die alone
we die alone

"Fall Children"

"Fall Children"


As the cries start to penetrate still air.
This day we celebrate.
The wait now ends.

From four corners smoke plumes into the reddened sky.
(Woah, oh. Woah, oh)
In the face of lantern light, tonight my destiny lies.
(Woah, oh. Woah, oh oh oh!)

[Chorus:]
This day so hallowed, this day so hallowed,
From here to forever its will I will follow.
(This day so hallowed, this day so hallowed)
Tonight will come to life.

Deadened branches stirred by whispers in the wind.
(Woah, oh. Woah, oh)
Fall children fill the streets at dusk, at last, it all will begin.
(Woah, oh. Woah, oh oh oh!)

This day so hallowed,
This day so hallowed,
From here to forever its will I will follow.
(This day so hallowed, this day so hallowed)
Tonight will come to life.

[Davey yells]
[14 seconds of Oh!'s]

Wallow. Wallow. Wallow-ooo-oow!
Wallow. Wallow-oow!
GO!

Fall children!

This day so hallowed,
This day so hallowed,
From here to forever its will I will follow.
(This day so hallowed, this day so hallowed)
Tonight will come to life
(Woah, oh oh oh!)
To life!
(Woah oh oh.)

"Fallen Like The Sky"

"Fallen Like The Sky"



Flee today with me and we can hide
Until they want you
Where the strange creatures play
Mystic games of strength. Disassociate.
Seal my fate, seal my, seal your
Until they eat their own young

This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely once too.

Leave your stain and laugh. My wounds innate.
Leave like they all do.
We the strange creatures play
Endless games of hate, we the reprobate
Seal our fate, seal our, seal your
Till we eat our own young

This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely once, too

This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely ones, too

This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
Are you a lonely one, too? with soldiers breaking
Are you a lonely one, too?

"File 13"

"File 13"



I sleep until there is no light.
I'm wide awake all through the night.
Dinner may suck but I'll take a bite, I do whatever I can.
My muscles stiffen through the day.
Discomfort never goes away.
Someone should throw me away. I feel like a garbage can.
Throw me away, I've got no use.
Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I know I know nothing at all.
I'd take a stand, but I know I'd fall.
I'd run head-down into a wall and watch my blood run faster.
Girls laugh and pass me on the street.
I spook out everyone I meet.
I've got pink toenails on my feet, I'm such a fucking master.
Throw me away, I've got no use.
Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I never seem to feel well.
I always seem to look like hell.
It seems like everyone can tell my mind is going numb.
My mom thinks I wear women's clothes.
I get dogged on at all the shows.
It seems that everybody knows I look like a fucking bum.
Throw me away, I've got no use.
Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit. I am useless.
