THE EVERLASTING GAZE

you know i'm not dead

now you know where i've been

as you sleep

torn i am

weighted down

patiently

born of love

you know i'm not dead

i'm just living in my head

forever waiting

on the ways of your desire

you always find a way



and thru it all

into us all yon move

forgotten touch

forbedden thought

we can never have enough

you know i'm not dead

found below

the creatures scream

stranglehold

a god machine

begging to

tear us out

worn as hope



you know i'm not dead

i'm just the tears inside your head

forever waiting

on the ways of your desire

you always find a way


and thru it all

into us all you move

forgotten touch

forbidden thought

we can never have enough

you know i'm not dead

we all want to hold in the everlasting gaze

enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway

but underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g.

the fickle fascination of an everlasting god

you know i` m not dead



i'm just living in my head

forever waiting

forever waiting on cruel death

you know i'm not dead

i`m just living for myself

forever waiting

you know i'm not dead

RAINDROPS+SUNSHOWERS

rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



i send my echo out

to get your love without

obscured reflections of my love



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the rain drops



i`ll save a prayer for you

so lost and longing to be

dragged thru dirty streets

wrapped up in clean white sheets

and if you think they`ll watch you now

you should know they won`t


rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops

and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



i send my echo out

to get your love without

obscured reflections of my secret love



force down to the words about

to get your love without

obscured reflections of my love



and i`m just trying to

walk to you

between the raindrops



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



and i`m just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops

STAND INSIDE YOUR LOVE

you and me

meant to be

immutable

impossible



it's destiny

pure lunacy

incalculable

insufferable



but for the last time

you're everything

that i want and ask for

you're all that i'd

dreamed



who wouldn't be the one you love

who wouldn't stand inside your love

protected and the lover of



a pure soul

and beautiful

you



don't understand

don't feel me now

i will breathe

for the both of us


travel the world

traverse the skies

your home is here

within my heart



and for the first time

i feel as though i am reborn

in my mind

recast as child and mystic sage



who wouldn't be the one you love

who wouldn't stand inside your love



and for the first time

i`m telling you how much i need and bleed for

your every move and waking sound in my time

i'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind

you`re mine forever now



who wouldn't be the one you love and live for

who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for

who wouldn't be the one you love

I OF THE MOURNING

play my favourite song

radio radio

radio i'm alone

radio

radio please don't go

radio



i peer thru curtains on empty streets

behind a wall of caller i.d.


no one's out there

to hear if i care

about the troubles in the air


as i of the morning now come

pick up where my thoughts left off

cause i'm home to die on my own



as my radio

plays my favourite song

radio radio

radio don't you know

radio radio

that radio i'm alone



i blow the dust off my guitars

in the attic with the stars



i read yout letters

to feel better

my tears upon the fading ink



as i of the morning now gone

pick up where my thoughts left off

cause i'm home to die on my own



as my radio plays my favourite song

radio radio

radio i'm alone radio

radio

radio please don`t go



i sit in the dark light

to wait for ghost night

to bring the past alive

to make a toast to life

cause i have survived



what is it you want

what is it you want to change

what is it you want

what is it you want to change

what is it you want to change

TRY,TRY,TRY

pop tart

what`s our mission

do we know

but never listen

for too long

they held me under

but i hear

it`s almost over

in detroid

on a memphis train

like you said it`s


down in the heart and the summer rain of

the automatic gauze of your memories

down in the sleep at the airplane races



try to hold on

to this heart

a little bit longer



try to hold on

to this love aloud



try to hold on

for this heart`s

a little bit colder



try to hold on

to this love



paperback scrawl your hidden poems

written around the dried out flowers

here we are still trading places

to try to hold on



pop tart

can you anvision

a free world

of clear division

for to long

they held us under

but i know

we`re getting over

in detroid

with the nashville tears

like you said it`s



down in the heat with the broken numbers

down in the gaze of solemnity

down in the way you`ve held togheter



to try to hold

on to this heart

a little bit closer



try to hold on

to this love aloud



try to hold on

for this heart`s

a little bit older



try to hold on

to this love aloud



and we are still alive

try to hold on

and we have survived

try to hold on

and no one should deny



we tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current

into the flow of encrypted movement

slapback kills the ancient remnants



that try to hold on

try to hold on

to this heart alive


try to hold on

to this love aloud



try to hold on

and we are still alive

try to hold on

and we have survived

try to hold on



pop tart

you never listen

skinned knees

try to hold on



stop start

what`s our mission

skinned knees

try to hold on

HEAVY METAL MACHINE

if i where alive

if i were real

would you survive

what would you feel



heavy metal

heavy metal machine

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

as sentimental

as our broken dreams



let me die

for rock n`roll

let me die

to save my soul

let me die

let me die

rock n`roll



let the world

forgive the past

let all the girls

kiss the boys at last

let me go

let me go

rock n`roll



heavy metal

heavy metal machine

heavy metal

a heavy metal machine

we`re the metal

in their metal machines

heavy metal

heavy metal machine



if i were dead

would my records sell

could you even tell

is it just as well


heavy metal

heavy metal machine

it`s elemental

to all the rust it brings

heavy metal

heavy metal machine



let me die

for rock n`roll

let me die

and save my soul

let me go

let me go

rock n` roll



let the world

forgive the past

let all the girls

kiss the boys at last

in their droning schemes

that it's not yours to keep



heavy metal

heavy metal machine

THIS TIME

this time i need to know

i really must be told

if it's over



it's up to you you know

the things you want to hold

are in pieces



crashing down

crashing down again

crashing down

crashing down my friends



i`ve got to move it on

i've got to sing my song

while i still can



dispatch the last alarms

hand out the last few charms

there's no surprises



only love

only love can win

crashing down

crashing down again



only love yeah

only love will win

crashing down

crashing down again



this time i need to know

i really must be told

that it's over



i've lived my life alone

my every step foretold

to never linger



and yet it haunts me

so what are we letting go

our spell is broken


crashing down

crashing down my friends

crashing down

crashing down again

only love yeah

only love will be enough

yeah only love will win



for every chemical

you trade a piece of your soul

with no return



and who you think you know

doesn't know you at all

their drain is needless



someday we`ll wave hello

and wish we`d never waved goodbye

to this romance



we'll drink up every line

and shoot up every word

till there`s no more


crashing down

crashing down my friends

only love

only love can win



so cry these tears we'll cry as all

we`ve held so long to fall apart

as the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight

THE IMPLODING VOICE

everywhere you are

is everywhere you`ve been

just lost to the beat

punching thru your skin

you don`t know what to do

but still you wanna crawl

all thru the broken glass

that's everywhere you are



your love must always be true

your love must always be you



everywhere you are

anywhere you go

even if you`re starved

it matters what you do

but even if you`ve gone too far

you can follow you



everywhere you are

and in your mind

you were alone

all this time



with eveything you were

and every smile you wore

still locked in your heart


ever where you are

everywhere you are

every single chard



everywhere you are

you're never too far

cause anywhere you`d go

even to the stars



all you have to do

is play the part of who you are

the rest is up to you



phase unwound by yourself

atom bomb

on the shelf unsung

pause of light

pulse of life

new face dawns



everywhere you are

and everywhere you go

even if you're down

even if you're low



it's in the thought of you

it's in the eyes of all

astride a storied past

that's everywhere you are


your love must always be true

your love must always be you



everywhere you are

anywhere you go

even if you're scarred

it's all a part of you

but ever should you put it down

you can never lose me


everywhere you are

GLASS and the GHOST CHILDREN

to the center of the earth

or anywhere god decides

full of fever pulling forth

we hear our call as all



to the center of the earth

as if written in

dna is reaching out

to your frequency



i want to live

don't want to die

i want to live

i want to try



all in prayer

prayer in all

all are scared

scared of all



black rooms are calling

to men in leatlher coats

white labs are cooking

up the silver ghost



the glass migrates under

her translucent skin

and all the spiders wonder

what we've got us in



all is you

you are all

all with you

you in all


i want to live

i don't want to die

i want to live

i want to try


so beats the final coda

of a vinyl storm

one more cherry cola

to lift up her dead arms

a dream of soft focus sunset

filter thru the din

we are losing contact

as she dials it in

she can hear glass calling

or is it someone that looks like him

she eyes tv reflection

and nods a knowing look

she says it doesn't matter

she never liked her looks

i have seen a thousand fractures

i have seen everything

cause knowing is it`s own answer

love something in a book

there`s not much left to ponder

not much left to cook

as she counted the spiders

as they crawled up inside her

as she counted the spiders

as they crawled up inside her

WOUND

there you are

as you always were

in bathing light

and naked blur



you're a part of me

eternal one

by grand design

and setting sun



if you wait i will wait

taste i will taste

if you love i will love

run i will run

to my last breath



last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning

inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning



awake in my arm

you cry unharmed

our age of the hours

while they still devour all



so take it all

i doubt if we will

know it's gone


cause we've been here

since time began

begged god awake

and make these plans

wound opens reveal

this broken man

and soon there's notions

of blood on his hands



if you wait i will wait

taste i will taste

if you love i will love

run i will run

to my last breath



last night i turned around i thought i saw myself turning

last night i turned around and thought i watched the world ending

inside the crushing down i felt a pang the tide was turning



destroyed in the wake

the jealous ingrates

who'll tear this world down

to spite god above

with his own love

with his own love



if you wait

if you wait

if you wait i will wait

taste i will taste

if you love i will love

run i will run

to my last breath

THE CRYING TREE OF MERCURY

this is the song

i've been singing my whole life

i've been waiting like a knife

to cut open your heart

and bleed my soul to you

i did it all for you

you and you and you and you



this is the sound

i`ve been making my whole life

i've been waiting for this night

to clear up all the tallk

although i'm selfish to a fault

is it selfish it`s you i want

you i did it all for you



this love

will stand as long as you

there's really no excuse

i did it all for you



these are the tears

i've been crying my whole life

like an ocean of desire

i'm reaching thru the noise

across the dusk of time

within the lilting lies

i am singing out to you

WITH EVERY LIGHT

taking over

we're taking over

throw the weight up off you shoulders now

that we can show our love



it's almost over

it's almost over

no more war and no more soldiers

to stand against his love



away

with all the troubles that you've made

away

with waiting for another day

away



look ma the sun is shining on me

impatient, in love and aching to be

could you believe in heaven

if heaven was all you had



we're taking over

we're taking over

throw away your four leafed clovers and

stand beside this love



away

with everything you've grown to hate

away

with anything that holds you safe

away



and every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

i`m never alone



look ma the sun is shining on me

taking my time to do as i please

could you believe in heaven

if heaven was all you had



the sun is beaming, radiating

all the love we are creating

we are creating



and every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

i`m never alone

Powrót do początku

BLUE SKIES BRING TEARS

unleash the armageddon

so all the children go to heaven

i sit by quiet still with

their pictures on my eyes



you`ll draw the guns you`re given

write down the words as written

and never distrub the presence

of resurrection crutch



and it`s about time

it`s about drawing near

blue skies bring tears

blue skies bring tears



descend the darkned stair ways

make hate with plastic playmates

and fire out remaining traces

of your self esteem



mainline the deepest secrets

lick clean the dirty fingers

i am the straner to you

as you are to yourself



and it`s about time

it`s about fear

blue skies bring tears



don`t you want me

as i wake

the city sigh

we`ll watch the seasons die

blue skies bring tears



take me inside your body

cover me with your soul

to the darknest recess

is where i wish to go



you are the sweetest flower

that i have ever devoured

i ask for nothing given

for nothing in return



blue skies bring tears

AGE OF INNOCENCE

we dismiss

the back roads

to ride these streets

unafraid

resigned to

scraping paint

from our bones

unashamed



no more the eye upon you

no more the simple man



desolation yes hesitation no

desolation yes hesitation no

as you might have guessed

all is never shown

desolation yes hesitation no



and in my prayers

i dream alone

a silent speech

to deaf ear

if you want love

you must be love

but if you bleed love

you will die loved



no more the lie upon you

cast in stone and autumn shade



desolation yes hesitation no

desolation yes hesitation no

as you might have sensed

we won't make it home

desolation yes hesitation no



before the rites of spring

- come to mean all things

a little taste of what may come -

a mere glimpse of what has gone

cause for the moment we are free

- we seek to bind our release

too young to die

to rich to care

too fucked to swear that i was there



desolation yes hesitation no

desolation yes hesitation no

as you might have guessed

we won't make it home

desolation yes hesitation no
