I am dust
We were dust in a world of grim obsession
We were torn from our life of isolation
We were pulled from our path of least resistance
And the songs we sang? 'What became of us?'
We are here waiting for you
We are here waiting for you
We are yours, we're waiting for you
We are yours, we're waiting for you
We all prayed for the end, for their God to take us
We were falling down one by one
We were weak and the fear was all around us
The machines screamed from moon to sun
We are here waiting for you
We are here waiting for you
We are yours, we're waiting for you
We are yours, we're waiting for you
We are yours, we're waiting for you
We are yours, we're waiting for you

Here in the black
Here in the black there's a feeling of loss
But it's a hungry and restless
And it's looking, desperate for something
And if feels like a job, all the screaming and helpless
And this, absent of mercy, it's alive and now it's filled
With not a shred of compassion or love
It comes like a burden of evil and it stays in the ground
Where's a desolate shadow of fear
It's dark in the loss, there's a breath in the wind
And the breath is malicious
And I don't know whether to run
Or drop to my knees and pretend I'm religious
Because it's cold and I'm scared
?? 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 you
HERE IN THE BLACK it comes, loss
It's here and I'm found, like a fog in the mind
But it's vicious and I, I'm not sure if I want to
Crawls in the mist like a vision of Judas and it's
So close I can figure it, I'm chilled to the bone like a statue in ice
But it's unsure if it's enough so it's 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 you
HERE IN THE BLACK it comes, loss
When all you see is dark and light
And all you feel is life and pain
And all your hugs just break away
And all you are is lost in fate
HERE IN THE BLACK it comes
HERE IN THE BLACK it comes
HERE IN THE BLACK it comes for you
HERE IN THE BLACK it comes, loss

Everything Comes Down To This
This isn't easy
But it's what I believe
Something is broken and twisted and pushes away
No one is listening
What have we done?
I feel the empty and darkness and lonely again
I don't know how this is going to end
and I don't know how this is going to change
I don't know how this is going to feel
But everything comes down to this
Nothing is easy
No one is calm
Love is a stranger that hides in the ponderous saints
So much unspoken
Words left for dead
All I can hear is the screaming of someone to blame
I don't know how we let this go so far
and I don't know how we let love turn to pain
I don't know how we let things fall apart
But everything comes down to this
I don't know how this is going to end
I don't know how this is going to change
I don't know how this is going to feel
But everything comes down to this
I don't know how we let this go so far
and I don't know how we let love turn to pain
I don't know how we let things fall apart
But everything comes down to this

The Calling
You don't hear me
You don't see me
You don't even know I'm alive
So why do you call me?
I have young things
And they need me
What on earth can I do for you?
So why do you call me now?
You don't love me
You don't know me
Is this some kind of game for you?
Is that why you've called me?
|
Splinter
I believe in the cruelty of man
I believe in all of the hopeless and lost
I see you
I believe in the shamed, the faithless like me
I believe everything falls through the greed of man
I SEE YOU
I SEE YOU
Do you believe in the beauty of love?
Or that heaven is vengeance disguised?
He sees you
Do you believe we will pay for our sins?
I believe everything's learned from the scars of man
I SEE YOU
I SEE YOU
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything
I don't believe in the calling of God
I don't believe a word of The Word is true
I see you
I don't believe in the goodness of people like me
I believe everything bleeds from the fear of man
I SEE YOU
I SEE YOU

Lost
So are we over?
Is this our end of days?
Are we so broken?
That you can walk away
But when you think back to when we first met
Are you sad?
And when you think back to all we've been through
Does it make you cry?
And when you think back to all the love shared
Do you feel anything?
And when you think back well did you ever
Think we'd come to this?
And yet here we are
And I'm lost
If we're over
Then you're far away
If we're over
Then I'm lost
If I had one chance
If I could change your mind
If I had one wish
I'd wish for one more time
To see you walking, your hand in my hand
Once again
To hear you laughing as if forever
Like my only friend
To feel my fingers walk across your skin
With a kiss to end
To listen to you say that you love me
Like you used to do
Like I need you to
But we're lost
So it's over
You are far from home
So it's over
And I stand alone
So it's over
And I'm lost

Love Hurt Bleed
Love seems all I want
Love seems all I need
Love seems everything
I know everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Love for things I love
Love for thing to think
Love for everything
I know everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Do, do you know my name
Do, do you know what I've shamed
Do, do you think I'm lost
Do, do you think I pray
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds

A Shadow Falls On Me
Every time I feel that I understand
A shadow falls on me, takes it away
Every time I try to walk away
A shadow falls on me, tells me to stay
When will it end?
When will it end?
Every time I dream you will come home
A shadow falls on me, wake up alone
Every time I scream for someone to blame
A shadow falls on me, whispers my name
When will it end?
When will it end?
Every time I breathe locked in this room
A shadow falls on me, never too soon
Every time I try and lay by your side
A shadow falls on me, keeps me alive
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?

Where I Can Never Be
And nothing I say
And nothing I can be
And nothing I do will ever bring you back to me
And all that we love
And all that we hope for
And all that we dreamed is lost and slowly fades away
You are still breathing, so
You are where I can never be
And all that I was
And all that I wanted
And all that I could have been has gone and turns to stone
And I am not here
And I am not real
But I am still calling out your name to guide you home
You are still breathing, so
You are where I can never be
Where I can never be
Sometimes I hear you
Sometimes I see you
Sometimes I feel you
And so I die again

We Are The Unforgiven
Once there was life and we were strong, full of pride
Once we bred fear and we would take the flesh denied
Once we were gods and all things knelt before our word or died
Now we're just a ruin
We were our undoing
We're the unforgiven
Once there was life and we were vain, lost in mind
Once we bled rage unto our shame, we killed the blind
Once we were praised but all things fall, even God's unkind
Now we're a dead religion
Not one soul delivered
We're the unforgiven
We're, we're unforgiven
We're, we're unforgiven
We're, we're unforgiven
We're, we're unforgiven

Who Are You?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen your face
Who are you, who are you?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard your voice
Who are you, who are you?
I don’t think I’ve ever touched your heart
Who are you, who are you?
I don’t think I’ve ever known your name
Who are you, who are you?
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
I don’t think I’ve ever seen your smile
Who are you, who are you?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard the truth
Who are you, who are you?
I don’t think I’ve ever shared your dreams
Who are you, who are you?
I don’t think I’ve ever known you at all
Who are you, who are you?
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
I don’t think I’ve ever seen your face
I don’t think I’ve ever heard your voice
I don’t think I’ve ever touched your heart
I don’t think I’ve ever known your name
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go

My Last Day
I'd like to watch you grow tall - it can never be
Kiss you to sleep but I know it can never be
Wipe away all of your tears - it can never be
Wake you to see a sunrise I will never see
Ooh, it comes
Ooh, it comes
Ooh, it comes
Ooh, my last day
I'd like to mend every hurt - it can never be
Be there to catch every fall - it can never be
Be there to love everything you will ever be
Sleep now I wish you sweet dreams I will never see
Ooh, it comes
Ooh, it comes
Ooh, it comes
Ooh, my last day

The Dark In Me
Can you feel me close to you?
Can you hear me pray for you?
Can you taste my need for you?
Can you see I’m here with you?
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Can you feel me touching you?
Can you hear me call for you?
Can you taste my love for you?
Can you see I hurt for you?
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
I can feel the pain in me
I can hear the lies in me
I can taste the fear in me
I can see the dark in me
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
