Inside Out 02:55
Well, you pleaded, and you pleaded 'Cause you need this Like a hole in the head But it's here, yeah it's here And at least that's one less thing to fear. You've been running so long Telling yourself lies You've been running so long On the outside while the inside dies Now you're real down So we kneel down And we feel round for the unravelling threads But time stands still In the doldrums till we've had our fill You've been running so long Wearing yourself out You've been running so long Find your freedom from the inside out.

One Percent 03:51
Lay with me tonight Help me separate the shadows from the light Let your long hair down Soften me with platitudes and suchlike. For tonight I cannot rest Can't forget those pilotless machines of death Or the one percent that scheme To take away our freedom while we daydream Nobody noticed But the rules of the game have changed They lay their traps while we sleep, while we sleep Nobody noticed But the rules of the game have changed They lay their traps while we sleep Lay with me tonight Let me lose myself for a while in something right Let your long hair down To fall across your skin against the lamplight For tonight I cannot rest Keep thinking about those criminals with badges on their chest Who gun down unarmed men Steal our secrets and our right to protest Nobody noticed But the rules of the game have changed They lay their traps while we sleep, while we sleep Nobody noticed But the rules of the game have changed They lay their traps while we sleep

Sweet, sweet soul Tell me how can you be A gift on the wings of time Yet such a part of me When I saw you first draw breath I thought my heart would crack Something inside me changed and will never change back Here on this sun-kissed earth I put myself by your side I put my roots down deep I spread my branches wide Trying to give you shelter and to give you room And with the winds at my back I watched you bloom You with your laugh like bells You with your heart so pure May others know you well And may your heart's flame roar Let all your fears be still And let your voice ring loud All these years watching you I've felt nothing but proud. Life is a river strange With currents we can't direct Sometimes our lives they change In ways that you can't expect But fears are seldom true And blessings are often hid You can see any dark times through and be glad that you did. You with your laugh like bells You with your heart so pure You with your will like fire Ah may your heart's flame roar Let all your fears be still And let your voice ring loud All these years watching you I've felt nothing but proud.

Mercury 02:56
Child of the sea With your love like mercury Fading away At the end of the day Let me go where I must Into dreams, into dust Let me just slip away Like mercury I slip down the steps From this city of nets Down to the shore To the water once more Let the moon set my course Let my heart be my horse Let me just slip away Like mercury

It was a distant sound that woke him Where his promises lay broken And they lay in shards around him That was where temptation found him He had a hollow pain inside him Like desire and fear colliding There were ten black riders riding through the places he had cried in Singing 'I've got bad things on my mind' I was born alone last summer Disappointment was my mother As I rose up from the embers She was all I could remember And now I find myself in this land Like a fish upon the hot sand Full of doubts and desperation The scars of a million separations I've got bad things on my mind.

Birds 03:22
Wanna change, but it's hard When the skin that you live in is scarred From the choices you've made To discard it's a matter of shedding your pride I'm not skilled in that art Wasn't made for such times I wouldn't know where to start But you know that you've made a mistake When the things you've been leaning on break When the night comes It's more than a person can take And you thought about taking it slow And just finding some place you can go But this way of living's all that you know, it's all that you know, it's all that you know Waking up, waking up, From a dream about blood in your cup With your feathers all stuck From the window it looks like those birds are all sick And their files are corrupt And you're catching their luck And you hope it won't stick Now you wonder what good things can grow From the days planted all in a row In the bed that you made a long time ago And you thought about making it plain That you won't take rejection again But these situations they all end the same, they all end the same, they all end the same

Evangelina 04:09
Evangelina, Evangelina, you better roll your airplane down. Evangelina, Evangelina, there ain't no need to leave town. I know the floods will rise And I know we'll only fight We've done that scene a thousand times But I still want you tonight. Evangelina, Evangelina, with your parasols and pearls Evangelina, yeah you're the queen of your self-constructed world That I can't penetrate. But the riddler at the gate Shows me enough to keep me stuck So I just stand here and wait. Now, we all look for happiness We take our guess and we learn. But seeking it in your caress Now, all that does is burn. Evangelina, I haven't seen you then you show up on my phone Evangelina, reminding me that I'm not free I'm just out on loan. You wear me down inside And subjugate my pride But if you still want me I'll be there With my blind eyes open wide. Now, we all look for happiness We take our guess and we learn. But seeking it in your caress Now, all that does is burn.

Lie To Me 04:23
Where do you come from my sad, sad love? What is it I remind you of? Where do you go with your tears so black? Tell me why do they come right back? With your mind somewhere else And the feelings you hide I know seeing myself In your sympathy's bright light Is gonna hurt anyway So come on and lie to me And though it's the end We'll both know but we can both pretend it isn't so. Saw your face fall as the cold sun rose There's a chill in our morning clothes. Memories come and they take your smile Leave me wondering a long, long while Whether to leave Whether to stay I want to believe But in the end all that I can say Is it'll hurt anyway So come on and lie to me And though it's the end We'll both know but we can both pretend it isn't so.

Come walk with me along the banks, love. For the the things I'm about to say I want to beg for the devil to take me away. All that remains is just pieces That I cling to and cut myself on I want to sweep them away and be done. Until the water runs clean I would bathe all your wounds Until the water runs clean But the water will never run clean for me. Come walk with me along the banks, love. For the the things I'm about to say You know I beg the devil to take me away. All that remains is just pieces And sometimes i wish they were gone We're gonna sweep them away and be done. Until the water runs clean I would bathe all your wounds Until the water runs clean But the water will never run clean for me.

The flood came today It swept my illusions away Yeah well you know, the truth, It's cold like steel. It makes you feel things you didn't think you could feel. You knew me when I was young. You knew me before I'd become what I've become. So help me to find The strength to run one more time Fear took the best of my days But what's left is mine. In the small hours I go To the open arms of another low Songs are pictures of nothing that's real But we make them so that we understand what we feel. You knew me when I was young. You knew me before I'd become what I've become. So help me to find The strength to run one more time Fear took the best of my days But what's left is mine.
11.
It was a time like this It was a long time ago. I tried to raise myself but you brought me low. You took the form of The things I wanted most But by the time I reached you I had the form of a ghost. Yeah you made life into death You made the truth a lie I think you needed me I think we both know why. I found a highway But I don't miss it much You think I lost you I think you lost your touch I know you're frail like me I know you're frail like me But you forget, you forget Now when I look at you From a far-off land I see a bended knee I see an outstretched hand. I see the dust swept underneath your throne I see the hand of death - it says I'm on my own I know you'll come to me I know you'll wear a mask I know that I won't run I know you won't dare ask. 'Cause when I face you I'm going to look right down Into your empty heart Into your empty crown I know you're frail like me I know you're frail like me But you forget, you forget
