Lyrics
Bad Men (OnTheirWayToDoBadThings)
Dare to breathe me in
It’s in the air
Your lungs may fill with dust
It’s all around me
Run while you still can
Like a slow poison
I rain ash upon you
I’ve got to resist
I simply fill the space
I am not transformed
Taken by my ghost
You’re just like me
You’re nothing like me
Too numb to fight it
You are the nightmare
We’re all too tired to dream
I’ll never say what I’m really thinking
Keep it contained
I can’t let it out
I can’t let it out
Your secrets are safe
We’re in control
But you’re not in control
It’s all in our minds
They’ve taken the throne
They’re under my skin
Patience won’t be the end of me
They’re thick as thieves
Dare to show yourself
Now we’re back at the start
You’ve become the monster
Blind leading the blind
Now I am the keeper
And I’m just too tired
Of what must never be
It’s easier to give in
I’ll never say what I’m really thinking
Keep it contained
I can’t let it out
I can’t let it out
I still believe
There’s some fight left in us
Some sort of dream
I won’t let it die
I won’t let it die

Lyrics
Indifference
The world comes to life, blooms, and fails with the light
And your hands open out with the dawn.
“She’s elusive” you said “there for seconds and dead
She’ll render you blind if you stop to enjoy her and
one thing that’s free is
words that come in rank and file and cliché’.
I’ll make this easy on you.
Stand up and walk away. Walk away.
I’ll make this easy on you.
Stand up and walk away. Walk away.
You know you are losing track
The way it controls you. Has its hold on you.
You know you are losing track
The way it controls you. Running through your heart.
I’ll make this easy on you.
Stand up and walk away. Walk away.
I’ll make this easy on you.
Stand up and walk away. Walk away.
You wish you could take it back,
but its running through you,
becoming part of you.
You know you can’t take it back, cos it’s running through you,
Running through your heart.
I’ll make this easy on you.
Don’t expect anything, anything.
They’ll take whatever you’re prepared to pay.
No one gets out easily, easily.

Lyrics
Wasted On Me
Choose your favourite line
The one that used to melt the anger every time
Get your story straight
‘Cause one mistake could blow the cover of the crime
And if you felt that way for her
You would have had to fight for her
And if you still believe
Slowly you’ll see, it’s wasted on me
Take in everything
Surround yourself with close protection all the time
Cover up the sign
The plan behind the dark intentions of your mind
And if you felt that way for her
You would have had to fight for her
And if you still believe
Slowly you’ll see, it’s wasted on me
And if it has to be
There’s things you shouldn’t see
Another regret I’ll never forget
And I don’t want to take that with me
And if it has to be
There’s things you shouldn’t see
Another regret I’ll never forget
Tell them that it’s wasted on me
And if it has to be
There’s things you shouldn’t see
Another regret I’ll never forget
And I don’t want to take that with me
And if it has to be
There’s things you shouldn’t see
Another regret I’ll never forget
Tell them that it’s wasted on me

Hunger
Hunger
Because I
Deeper inside
Sweeter with you
Do you?
Tell me do you hunger too?
I don’t want to dream of you anymore
I’ve been seeing things change
Change it is a path I’d like to ignore
But I don’t want to go completely insane
But I hunger
Because I
Deeper inside
Sweeter with you
Do you?
Tell me do you hunger too?
Because I don’t want your spell anymore
I don’t want your spell anymore
I don’t want your spell anymore
I don’t want your spell anymore
I don’t want to hurt on you anymore.
These times, take a toll on my mind.
Serene – It’s like a gesture
Hard to ignore
So I know, give me please
Just bring me a sign
Because I hunger
Because I
Deeper inside
Sweeter with you
Do you?
Tell me do you hunger too?
I don’t want your spell anymore
I don’t want your spell anymore
Free like the river
In front of me
Tears in my soul
Right into the sea
You fall like the rain
So let it be seen
Tears in my soul
So I can be free

Lyrics
The Empty Space
Shiver in the darkness
The empty space
That fills this place
Memories are fading
The ones I tried,
To climb inside
You are still pretending
There’s something here.
There’s nothing here
I can feel it ending,
The fever’s gone.
It won’t be long.
I’m better on my own
You are all alone
Shiver in the silence
The words were clear
I couldn’t hear
Memories are changing
The ones we made
The colours fade
You are still pretending
There’s something there.
There’s nothing there.
Can you feel it ending?
The fever’s gone,
It won’t be long.
I’m better on my own
You are all alone
He told us, he told us to pray
Entangled, untangles this way
This way

Lyrics
Butterflies
Run away to the pulse of my blood
Until the sky thickens above me.
Wooden limbs scratching air where they stand
A frozen scream. An Alice in Wonderland fall.
Flashing eyes, woven hands and
A smile in the dark that dissolves into nothing
And time stands still.
All your butterflies, we were chasing a star
That burns empty and blind to the hold
Of your own inarticulate hands.
You held on for my dear life
And we choke as we are both rendered empty.
You’ll get nothing from me.
You’ll get nothing from me.
Fall away, scratching earth, spitting sand
Underhanded men forge the answers in their own hand
Down to the earth where nothing else flies
Where gravity is met with its own eyes
All your butterflies, we were chasing a star
That burns empty and blind to the hold
Of your own inarticulate hands.
You held on for my dear life
And we choke as we are both rendered empty.
You’ll get nothing from me.
You’ll get nothing from me.
Run away to the pulse of my blood
Until the sky thickens above me.
Wooden limbs scratching air where they stand
A frozen scream. An Alice in Wonderland fall.
The flesh of the earth all worn away thin
The seconds gone cold in a moment gone dim.
A plunge into darkness and vanity’s grasp
Where faces haunt mirrors trapped in by the past
All your butterflies, we were chasing a star
That burns empty and blind to the hold
Of your own inarticulate hands.
You held on for my dear life
And we choke as we are both rendered empty.
You’ll get nothing from me.
You’ll get nothing from me.
You’ll get nothing, nothing, nothing from me.

Lyrics
The Tempest
Over the bridge
Under the waterfall
Cover the path as you go
Over the bridge
All I could do was crawl
Colours that fade
Memories fade as you go
I was a saboteur
What do you take me for?
Roll the dice I’ve no desire left for
No art in the way you play out your hand
Your game
I’ll call your bluff instead of your name
I was afraid
It was too late
The web has been spun
It’s time to move on
Now is the time to believe
I was afraid
Foundations were laid
The pain is too numb
The harm has been done
Now it’s my turn to leave
Over again
I tried to reach for more
You never cared for my call
With all I said
I was prepared to fall
My own mistake
Now it’s too late
I let go
I was a saboteur
What do you take me for?
Roll the dice I’ve no desire left for
No art in the way you play out your hand
Your game
I’ll call your bluff instead of your name
I was afraid
It was too late
The web has been spun
It’s time to move on
Now is the time to believe
I was afraid
Foundations were laid
The pain is too numb
The harm has been done
Now it’s my turn to leave
Don’t know you
The way you hide the truth
Don’t know you
Without you
Don’t know you
Without you
Without you
I was a saboteur
What do you take me for?
Roll the dice I’ve no desire left for
No art in the way you play out your hand
Your game
I’ll call your bluff instead of your name
I was afraid
It was too late
The web has been spun
It’s time to move on
Now is the time to believe
I was afraid
Foundations were laid
The pain is too numb
The harm has been done
Now it’s my turn to leave

Lyrics
City Of Goodbyes
Is there something I can do for you
Something I could say
That could change the path you crave to walk
Before you slip away
Knowing who you are
And it’s breaking me apart
Watching you lose your faith
Trying to find your way
To a place where no-one cries
Where the angels learn to fly
But the only fate you’ll find
Is the city of goodbyes
This life is spinning fast again
And it’s taking its toll on you
Every glimmer of light is leaving now
That ever shone on you
Don’t you realise
You’re fading before my eyes
Watching as you lose your way
Trying find your way
To a place where no-one cries
Where the angels learn to fly
But the only fate you’ll find
Is the city of goodbyes
In the city of goodbyes
Where the angles learn to fly, fly, fly…
In the city of goodbyes
Where the angles learn to fly, fly, fly…
In the city of goodbyes
Where the angles learn to fly, fly, fly…

Lyrics
First Light
There’s truth if you’re beguiled
You know where it can be found
Getting so high, getting so down
The devil’s inviting, enticing, blinding you now
All that glitters, it’s gold
All that glitters, it’s gold
Neon night burns so bright
Take a look all around
You walk alone through seamless dreams
Leading your way through the night by the light of your eyes
All that glitters, it’s gold
All that glitters, it’s gold
