Pale Blue Dot I
01:43
|
|||
Pale blue dot in the dark
Still silence belies the tortuous parts
A speck of dust stranded in the light
A fraction of a heartbeat in the dead of the night

Lluna

|

If I were a better man
I would have torn myself to pieces
But she’s gone so I only ravage the world
Greed, pride, envy and loneliness
I watch it burn through the emptiness
Nothing can hurt me the way that she did
Careless or heartless I couldn’t say
Want is a dangerous war to wage
Restless, I wrestle but I never win
Someday when everything good is dead
I’ll get that woman out of my head
And bury myself in the ruin again

Feeler
03:36
|
|||
Bury the heart that you love
With the one that you’re breaking
Slain for a slip of relief
Like all good company keeps
The feelers from waking
And wide-eyed
I would compromise
Set the stars alight
For what you had in mind
Seek all you seek
Seekers laid waste around my hem
Dripping in disbelief, like all good worshipers
We were nothing without them
And sometimes
I would not deny
The draw of paradise
And what you had in mind

Killer
03:16
|
|||
Forgive the killer in me
I forget the good in you
Believe whatever you want to believe
Whatever helps you to find peace
Whatever you want to think about me
Do whatever you have to do
Better me than you
Because what do I have to lose
I feel the birds circle above
Just like the thoughts we never spoke of
If this is all we’ll ever be
Then I’ll forgive and you forget me

Ghost
03:12
|
|||
In my mind, I already heard you, I already know
And I calmly walk through the noise, I won't let it show
Makes no difference what we do or how we try
We'll watch the moon in all its pieces fall apart right where we lie
So I just can't think
Just can't think about it
No I just can't think
Just can't think at all
So many voices, but yours the one that speaks within
As dark as devils, I will crawl until I'm sprawled in all our sin
You will forget me, we will be nothing in the end
I'll watch you smile, eyes closed and wild, as I bask and it begins

Betelgeuse
02:42
|
|||
Trees called out as they died
The flora burned and fell up to the sky
In a funeral of howling I caught your words as they rang true and bright
Nothing's ever stopped me from loving you but it may be this tonight
We tried to outrun
The last cast of the shadows
The final breath of the sun
The light in your eyes
As we stared up at the moment
The fireworks ripped through the sky

Hound
03:47
|
|||
Whether I'm bored or I'm lonely
When drug or drink won’t drop me down
Thoughts rush in that seem to own me
The tighter the leash the bigger the hound
And the sound of all my
Questions dashed like broken glass
I try but I can’t explain
I'm lying awake with how little I know
How much I obsess
How far it can go
And there's so much to do
So few words to say
To kill a wicked thing that I
Could never seem to chase away
I crave the stillness I remembered
The quiet confidence through gunshy eyes
Now I have teeth to tear and torn up I surrender
The way this goes, I’m bound
Still you don't know the sound of my
Questions dashed like broken glass
I try but I can’t explain
I'm lying awake with how little I know
How much I obsess
How far it can go
And there's so much to do
So few words to say
To kill a wicked thing that I
Could never seem to chase away

Fallen
02:57
|
|||
Fallen, I fought against
My better self and judgment
Gave in to all that I gave up
Convinced, I almost believed what I made up
If I'm not bothered I'll never move
Haunting whispers of what I should do
Seeing all as it could be
Loved you more than you loved me
Don’t blame me for leaving
I won’t blame you at all
Spent all our time wondering
Just how far we would fall

Time Jumper
03:39
|
|||
Here I am again
Running like hell through the desert
A wasted place in my mind
A moonlit sky fills the night
I counted days I was alone
Waited for something to carry me home
Beyond the light, beyond the dark
Carry my heaviest burden my
Always a shadow of smoke
I saw whatever was coming
Fragile as water in flames
A vision I'd take to the grave
I counted days I was alone
Waited for something to carry me home
Beyond the light, beyond the dark
Carry my heaviest burden my heart

Rapture
02:31
|
|||
Raptured, exquisitely captured
No one else walks like a god
Trembling hands, half monster/half man
Human being is hard enough

Pale Blue Dot II
02:57
|
|||
And on it the sum of our joy and pain
Everyone you've ever heard of
Every thought you've tried to explain
Every martyr every cheat
Every coward and holy being
Every innocent, unknowing creature
Ravenous and righteous beast
Every rapture, every law
Every killer without cause
Every kindness, every touch
Every couple mad in love
Every tyrant every king
Every sad and wondrous thing
We've ever done in the name of God and country
Love and terror
Greed and boredom
Peace and order
Vengeance, independence
But lonely still
The only home we know
