Moon
When the moon casts rings among the clouds,
When ladders touch the sea,
When the harbour gleams like perfect glass,
Do you remember what we used to be?
When the moon is high,
When the water shines,
Do you remember what we used to be?
Do you remember what we used to be?
So hard to recall sometimes.
Do you remember?

Baby, You Lied
When will you be my lover?
I’ve watched and I’ve waited,
And it seems to me you’re living a lie.
I thought we had a deal,
But he still has his wife.
When will you be my lover?
I’ve waited and waited.
I watched your house all night.
I thought we had a deal.
Oh, we could have such a life.
I thought we had a deal.
But baby, you lied.
I remember every smile,
The breadcrumbs you would leave.
You gave me all the signals
Like they say in magazines.
And I was right outside your window
As he kissed your perfect face.
Who’s he think he’s fooling?
Can’t you see he’s sleeping in my place?
When will you be my lover?
I’ve waited and waited and waited and waited.
I thought we had a deal.
I thought we had a deal.
But baby, you lied.

Dirty Footprints
Feels like ice.
It burns and bites.
It's a drum, tuned too tight.
The rush before the fight.
I thought my shoes were clean,
But everywhere I've been,
Dirty footprints stain the floor.
It's insane.
I'm afraid to hear my name.
The threat is gone
But the mem'ry echoes on.
I thought these scars would heal,
Bur recent times reveal
I'm only human after all.
I'm a lucky man.
So what am I scared for, huh?
I came out alive.
I came out alive.
I'm so lucky, man.

Need To Know
I’m not in search of some wise old teacher.
I’m only here cos I’m killing time.
I seek no proof of a life beyond this.
I place no faith in scripts and signs.
I broke my silence to pray for nothing.
There’s a joy in the gutter that was killing me.
Ten years on, I was still so hungry.
All your words were just chicken feed.
Oh, no. You’re not someone I need to know.
You seem to want something more from me.
These pockets are ragged.
You dug too deep.
You claim to feel in ways I can’t imagine.
Does that make you bigger than me?
A shallow soul has a weight to break you.
I ought to know and I feel your pain.
I won’t pretend this could bring us closer.
I don’t intend to go there again.
Oh, no. You’re not someone I need to know.

Missing Words
Lately, I've been missing words.
Spaces where they should be heard.
Trapped in this negative space,
Mind slipping, going to waste.
Makes no sense,
Looking back,
What is this silence telling me?
Tired of hiding from my own lies,
Try to imagine what's behind my eyes.
You can have this piece and they can have that.
I'll break as many times as it takes to come back.
Yeah, I'll break as many times it takes to come back.

Fake Noose
We watched you build your churches.
We watched you burn 'em down.
We watched you raise your statues.
We watched you steal the crown.
And all the things we told you,
You never heard a sound.
When our backs were turning,
You fired into the crowd.
You fired into the crowd.
Why do we have to bleed for your amusement?
Why do we have to bleed for you at all?
Why do we have to bleed for your amusement?
Why do we have to bleed for you at all?
There's nothing you can do now,
You've not already done.
There's nothing you can take now,
Except the rising of the sun.
You told us what you stood for.
Your foot was on our necks.
Now we see right through you.
Yeah we see what's next.
Yeah we see what's next.
Why do we have to bleed for your amusement?
Why do we have to bleed for you at all?
Why do we have to bleed for your amusement?
Why do we have to bleed for you at all?
You know your days are numbered.
You know your time's run out.
Your head should hang in shame now.
Your head will hang, no doubt.
Your head will hang, no doubt.
Your head will hang, no doubt.

Blameless
I cannot tell you what I've done.
I guess you'll find out when the headlines come.
I planned a shock for everyone.
I wakeup call. But it's all gone wrong.
I cannot tell you what I said.
But my words will live on long after I'm dead.
I had it figured in my head
But they shut me down for the life that I led.
I couldn't justify a moment more
Living somebody else's life.
I cannot tell you who's to blame
But I guarantee you'll remember my name.
I couldn't justify a moment more
Living somebody else's life.
I'm hardly blameless but you're not so pure
Did you think I'd just give up and die?
All those clowns were making sounds
Never caring if the consequences damned us all to hell.
Someone had to do something. I knew it wouldn't be you
So I took this bloody duty on myself.
I cannot tell you what I've done.
I cannot tell you what I've done.

They Came From Nowhere
Half way out of sleep,
Half way in a dream,
Out of the blue it’s time to go.
Can’t picture your face.
Can’t even think straight.
Can’t see a way out.
Is it time to go?
Cos I don’t recognise these darkest dreams of mine.
They came from nowhere,
They came from nowhere.
Oh, my love, don’t look at me.
I’m not at my best.
You need to learn to read between
The things I say to test you.
Oh, my child, I’m certain someday
All your deepest fears
Will all amount to nothing,
Will all amount to nothing.
Cos I don’t recognise these darkest dreams of mine.
They came from nowhere.
No, I don’t recognise these darkest dreams of mine.
And I may not be there for you.
Did you ever think of that?
It’s not paranoid to face the truth:
Maybe I’m not coming back.
No, I don’t recognise these darkest dreams of mine.
They came from nowhere,
They came from nowhere,
They came from nowhere.

Standing On The Edge
Out of reach of the hands of time,
I walked among the stones.
And bared my soul to a patient sky,
Where not a single tree grows..
Lonely in that empty place
But safe from eager crowds,
I dreamed the forms that have no words
And cast them to the clouds.
Standing on the edge.
Inches from the sky.
Standing on the edge
With thoughts of years that passed me by.
A noiseless owl took flight
As the clouds disguised the sun.
I stumbled on that hollow place
Where the pools reflected no one.
Sheltered from the whistling wind,
A silence filled my ears
And truth could find a voice at last,
For the first time in years.
Standing on the edge.
Inches from the sky.
Standing on the edge
With thoughts of years that passed me by.

Make It Mine
Came in from the cold.
How was I to know
I'd catch you Tuesday?
Why'd you take so long?
You took your time.
Drifted in like smoke.
Somehow missed the joke.
Yeah you took your time.
You took your time.
We could deconstruct the myths of my youth.
I made them up to make a point,
But now my bones are showing through.
I'll take your hope and make it mine.
(Take everything you've got.)
I'll take your hope and make it mine.
(Take everything you've got.)
Tickets were cheap. I took two.
An empty seat, meant for you.
Did my face reflect my mood?
We could deconstruct the myths of my youth.
I made them up to make a point,
But now my bones are showing through.
I'll take your hope and make it mine.
(Take everything you've got.)
I'll take your hope and make it mine.
(Take everything you've got.)
