"Here In The Black"

"Here In The Black"


Here in the black there's a feeling of loss but it's hungry and restless. (And it's)
Looking, desperate for something, and it feels like a child but not screaming or helpless (And it's)
Absent of mercy. It's alive and it feels but not a shred of compassion or love.
It comes like a pouring of evil. It's a stain on the ground, it's a desolate shadow of fear.

It's dark and I'm lost. There's a breath in the wind and the breath is malicious. (And I)
Don't know whether to run, or should I drop to my knees and pretend I'm religeous. (Because)
It's cold and I'm scared and the whispers are a madness that forces a question to God.
Is this real or imagined? Because if I'm asleep, well then I don't need to scream for long.

Here in the black it comes
Here in the black it comes
Here in the black it comes for me
Here in the black I'm lost

It's here and I'm found. Like a thought in the mind but it's beautifully vicious. (And I)
Can't hide, not sure if I want to. It crawls in the mist like a vision of Judas. (And it's)
So close I can feel it and I'm chilled to the bone, I'm a statue in ice. (But it's)
Unsure if it's enough, so it waits for the Ghost, for the demon assassin of God.

Here in the black it comes
Here in the black it comes
Here in the black it comes for me
Here in the black I'm lost

And all you see is dark and vague
And all you feel is life unmade
And all your hopes just bleed away
And all you are is lost and fades

Here in the black it comes
Here in the black it comes
Here in the black it comes for me
Here in the black I'm lost

"Hunger"

"Hunger"


Tell you a story
'Bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies

No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
"You could be here forever"

"Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known"

"Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart"

He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
"I'm the disease and the cure

Skin mechanics
couldn't help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely"

"Trick it up
Trick it up good"

She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
"This is a re-al love story"

I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
"You could be here forever"

"I Am Dust"

"I Am Dust"


We we're dust in a world
Of grim obsession.

We wouldn't taunt from mouth
Like an isolation.

We we're pulled from our path
Of least resistance.

And the songs we sang
What became of us?

We're here waiting for you
We're here waiting for you

We are yours
We're waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you

We all pray for the end
For the god to take us.

We we're falling down
One by one.

We we're weak and the fear
Was all around us.

The machines screamed from
Moon to sun.

We're here waiting for you
We're here waiting for you

We are yours
We're waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you

"I Am Render"

"I Am Render"


I'm up here
Youre down there
Call me the baitman
I'm screaming for air
Colour me black
If you wish, but
I don't believe
I don't believe
My God

I don't crash
Te sky moves
I'll shape you dreams
That a lifetime can't lose
I won't talk
I won't sing
They call me render
The shaper of things
Oh God

I'm not down
I'm not ashamed
Call it the job
If you need something to blame
Young reckless sleepers
Still screaming for air
I don't care
I don't care
Dear God

"I Can't Breathe"

"I Can't Breathe"


I'm scared to sleep, I'm scared to dream
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream
I'm scared to whisper one word.
That's all it needs

I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh
I hear it laughing when something dies
I hear it calling
But I'm too scared to move

I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I can't breath
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe

I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see
I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me.
I'm scared of memories
But now thats all I have

So I can't leave and nothing comes
So no-one noticed that I've come undone.
I'd hide in shadows
But the shadows talk to me.

I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I can't breath
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe

"I Can't Stop"

"I Can't Stop"


I've been there and seen it
I've been up and down
And I've been fighting for so long.

I can't stop for all your stories
I can't stop for all you young hearts.

Been up on the power
Been down and ashamed
I'm sure I'm guilty of something now.

I'm back and I'm proven
I'm back and I'm strong
And I've been waiting for so long.

"I Can't Stop (10" Version)"

"I Can't Stop (10" Version)"


I've been there and seen it
I've been up and down
And I've been fighting for so long.

I can't stop for all your stories
I can't stop for all you young hearts.

Been up on the power
Been down and ashamed
I'm sure I'm guilty of something now.

I'm back and I'm proven
I'm back and I'm strong
And I've been waiting for so long.

"I Die: You Die"

"I Die: You Die"


This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view
In Echo Park, I
Pause for effect and whisper 'who are you?'

They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

Now I have your names
Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late'
Now I feel young
Does everything stop when the old TAPE fails?

They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

But I'm still frightened by the telephone

"I Don't Believe"

"I Don't Believe"


Love is unsafe I'm sure
Wrong love,
Wrong time,
Wrong move.
Love is too short, too sharp.
Wrong men,
Wrong place,
Wrong heart.

[CHORUS:]
I don't believe in love and
I don't believe in you and
I don't believe in anything

Love is too cold, too close.
because pictures TV
Love is you [?] with film.
You don't know me at all.

[repeat chorus to fade]

"I Dream Of Wires"

"I Dream Of Wires"


I am the final silence.
The last electrician alive.
And they called me 'The Sparkle'.
I was the best, I worked them all.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

We opened doors by thinking.
We went to sleep by dialing 'O'.
We drove to work by proxy.
I plugged my wife in, just for show.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

So I press 'C' for 'comfort'.
I dream of wires, the old days.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.
