Silver Scene

You're just a crow with a loaded sugardaddy,
Gonna run to your momma and cry,
You're gonna choke if you throw all your caution to the wind because you're so high,
So clichė,
Hair spray,
Flicking ash into the tray,
As if to say "bye bye",
It's no surprise - your black eyes - you're drawn to bad guys and I know why,
Oh, you belong in tight blue jeans,
Not on the silver screen,
Hell, you're the dirtiest girl I've seen,
You've been flaunting in every scene,
Since you were seventeen,
But sorry, you'll never be a queen,
You fill the room with your cheap perfume,
Completely ignorant of whom you betray,
All chopped and groomed, top celebrity costume,
You whistle for the valet,
But later in the night, your legs are wide, they're wide-eyed,
'Cos they love the way you sway, but not today, you say, as you're zipping up your suedes to have dinner in a cheap café,
Since you were seventeen,
Instead of keeping clean,
You were only seen,
In limousines,
But sorry you'll never be a queen,
Sorry you'll never be a queen.

Cynics & Dreamers

Nine Lives,
It's such a lie,
The years will pass so fast,
So don't you stare in wonder, no,
You feel the fear in my heart,
That I can't lay my head down,
You might think I'm foolish I know,
Surrounded only by those I trust to the bone,
Take back your tales,
You can cry and moan,
But finally it feels like home,
God damn,
It's such as shame,
It stands in stark contrast,
To the mindless plunder, no,
Of the crowds who strut to their clubs,
Then finally lay some stranger down,
Cries only fall on deaf ears as we're flooded by dreams that lead and bind us all,
Now these cries,
They only fall,
And these dreams,
They bind us all.

Stay Alive
03:50
|
|||
|
I fall into you're arms again,
And lay you down in ecstasy,
I feel completely open to your words and your touch and my senses defy me,
Get me out of this world I'm in,
Drag me back to where it all began,
There I'll drown in fabrications of a lost life,
It's all I can do to stay alive,
When you feel my warmth consume you,
And your dress falls to the floor,
You feel completely open to my well-meant illusion and so it defines you.

Ashes
03:57
|
|||
|
Hey come with us,
We'll start this over,
Rebuild these torn foundations,
So bury all advances,
That breed this corruption,
In each other is salvation,
Are you strong tonight?
Will you fight?
From these ashes we rise,
Up through tainted skies,
There's no need to cry,
From these ashes we rise,
Hearts will bathe in pride,
Choke on all your lies,
Burned and left to die,
From these ashes we rise,
Scratch the surface,
To find what's real,
These cries are not in vain,
Don't be so sedated,
So lost and misguided,
What heart was thrown away?

Serenade
03:45
|
|||
|
When I needed to find you,
You were nowhere to be found,
What are you waiting for?
Safeguarding tombs,
When I'd guide you home,
You would dive inside to,
Lift me up from,
Where I found myself,
I hope, I hope,
I dream you will be my serenade,
When I stare into your eyes,
The sweet, seductive song,
Leaves me searching for answers you hold inside,
It's so far, to where I came from,
And I know,
No, I've never understood how people can walk around living such exuberant lifestyles,
Claiming they're living life to the full,
And yet through it all they're never ready to breakthrough and overcome their fear,
A simple fear,
A fear of rejection,
So stop whispering,
Find your voice so you can speak,
So you can scream,
And shout,
And finally tell that one person in your life,
"I love you."

In Our Eyes

Lyrics:
Divining from the sunbeams, where to go,
Divided by the layers of their gold,
I know,
I'm lost,
I've run to I know not where,
I see your face there in the pouring rain,
And we don't speak,
It's in our eyes,
Here we stand on the other side of the world,
And there's no need,
No need to hide,
I set out across this great divide,
And yet I've spent my life,
Consuming all the spite 'til I went numb,
Presuming that the worst was yet to come,
I know,
Well maybe there's a life I've yet to lead,
One dominated not by hate and greed,
Who knows?

Crude Design
03:41
|
|||
|
Drifting, unthinking,
We drag ourselves through this world,
Heads full of wire,
When will we all see the signs?
Mechanical minds strain to function,
We've fallen from grace,
Cables and veins work as one; man and machine entwined,
Now leave behind a mind gone blind,
No more time behind these lines,
Inside ourselves we finally find,
We're so much more than crude design,
Delusion slips our eyes,
And cages fall from our minds,
Muscles flex, no pistons hiss,
And the mantle's lifted,
No more sparks and flames, nor the time for games of blame and fear,
[We're trapped], As every fist is rising,
And we scream; "Join us and rise,
This world we're building,
From dust up to the blood-stained sky,
So tell me why this isn't over,
It's been so long without sense and reason,
Get out,
The streets are all aflame,
We'll turn away from the years that cast us aside and forgot,
What rights did you have?
What rights did you know?
It starts tonight,
This is me."

The Vagrant
03:07
|
|||
|
I'm a wild but weary soldier,
I hide my sins inside myself,
Behind this bowed and broken armour,
Their lurks inside a tranquil soul,
All you see, is all you need to know,
The places that I've been,
Are distant memories,
So far in front of me,
Arriving worn and weathered, yet I'm,
Gone before the day is through,
Across my vast and vagrant journey,
I make my home wherever I roam.

We See Right Through You
04:42
|
|||
|
Every pillar that you stand on,
Has not been built on grounds of empathy and virtue,
Do you think you're more correct than your fellow man?
Or is this desperation,
For attention?
No comprehension,
How you breed dissension,
Stand up and preach it out,
How we must form divides,
But we'll stay just who we are,
And not something contrived,
It falls on all of us,
The rational and true,
Believe me when I scream this:
"We see right through you",
Is your vision blurred by the ethereal light?
Do your eyes hurt from this world burning bright?
When your focus returns,
Reflections will surely show,
Your desperation,
For attention,
But where's creation,
And aspiration?
We see right through you,
We know you're all just seeking answers,
But it irks to know that in this world,
That someone could think like you,
You might think I can't argue,
When your logic and reason can't comply.

Bittersweet History
03:31
|
|||
|
Well we sailed onto horizons forging treasured memories,
And we sat under a summer sun singing timeless melodies,
When the light fades and night descends,
The story seems to never end,
As we right the pages of our own,
Bittersweet history,
Oh, I know, it's frozen in time,
But it's alright,
Oh, we shared, so many days,
An avalanche,
Of afterthoughts,
So sit back,
Buckle up,
And enjoy the ride,
Because after all,
The cannonballs,
We'd be punch drunk,
Pucker up,
Grab a girl and show some love,
And I can tell you why,
This is a distant story of a time,
That I sing unto you,
Oh I know, it's frozen in time,
But it's time to turn the page.

Another Way
05:11
|

|
So your life's in a state of regress,
The slightest thing is bringing you down,
Your head still hurts from last night and your face is a mess,
From walking through the wrong end of town,
God is another friend,
You've got to find a way to carry on,
God is not a friend of mine,
But when I'm down again,
All that I need's a friend,
To say it's the beginning;
Not the end,
Starring in the mirror, you reflect on it all,
It's been twenty years and my how you've grown,
Through all your troubles I will answer the call,
You don't have to face this alone,
You may not find God but I will find you,
Writhing inside but I will save you.
