Blood and Bone
04:50
|
|||
This body lies broken
These walls will not come open now
My fate is sealed
The numbers flash before my eyes
I know that every single word
Will be revealed
Just say my name
Just hear my voice
I was not the one who made this choice
Like silence, like sorrow
I'll use the time I borrow
To pay this debt
Rain falls down like blood drops
The pain calls, my hearts stops
And I place my bet
I know I've done this to myself
Beat the odds and played a losing hand
I count the sixth, I count the twelfth
And I hope that things will go as planned
So foolish so you see
What's gotten hold of me?
What will it take, what's gonna give
So foolish so I say
Messed up in every way
It's gotta stop, I gotta live
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it bleeds
Sometimes it's exactly what I need
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
And I'm still afraid to tell you why
The stillness of the wind has blown
And the sun burns icy on its throne
There is no flare to quench despair
Freezing deep within the
Blood and bone

Don't Follow Me
03:07
|
|||
Said your love is sad and strange
And it ain't worth mentioning
And some things don't ever change, so
Don't follow me
Every time you turn around
Every time I walk away
Any fool like me could see
That things are just like yesterday
Didn't know that it would hurt this long
I didn't want to think that I was wrong
So won't you please forgive me
For this song I sing
To myself right now?
I can't do anything
And we all know how it ends
In a drunken, bloody smash,
And the world around us spins
While evil spirits clash
Close your eyes and bow your head
Tell me what you think about
Did your mind see what you said
Or did it all just fizzle out?
Never had the guts to change my mind
Never had the trust to be so kind
And now you're gone forever
I don't know what to say
I never thought I'd be
The one to walk away

Midnight Again
02:57
|
|||
All the stars are falling down
News is spreading far and wide across the town
Sits and waits upon the wind
Can't you hear Him calling? it's midnight again
Sometimes I think I seen it all before
And still I dare to press my luck once more
But every time I see your face I know it'll fade away
Where does it go and why does it take so long?
I thought you would know
I thought you could not be wrong
The 99 call on their shepherd
As Lucifer falls down from heaven
Wrath poured out in blood and sulfur
As we reach the final hour
A thousand angels sound their trumps on high
Caught up in the twinkling of an eye
But every time I see this place I know it'll fade away
Where does it go and why does it take so long?
I thought you would know
I thought you could not be wrong
They say the king will come
Just like a thief in the night
So let Him fill your lamps with oil
And wash your garments white

Things Mundane
04:18
|
|||
To walk through time indifferently, I’ve lost my sense of change
Every step I thought I’d take behind me now, how strange
I seek a sign in things mundane as waves erode the shore
But everything repeats itself; I’ve seen it all before
Slipping into lifeless rest, awakening, the rest is life
The ocean waves now form a crest, the daylight figure wields the knife
He reaps the comfort that I keep in my imagination
And watching me while I’m asleep, he gives me sweet sedation
Sometimes I think that my life is a trap,
and the darkness inside of my mind is a map
I swallow it and start to starve to realize it is hollow
Now every thought begins to fade, and I'm the one who wields the blade
Sometimes I see no other map, no other path to follow
Still I'm fighting, still I'm falling, still I hear the darkness calling
Here's my story, write it for me, I'll sign my name

Long Time
02:18
|
|||
It's been a long time and it's been steady on my mind
Picked the wrong time, tried to leave it all behind
You know that life moves fast
Can't be stuck in the past
Sometimes I sit and I wait
And try to get things straight
It was too late, I was already gone
You just sit and wait, soon you'll always come along
When can I see you again?
I thought that you were my friend
And tell me is this how it ends?
Cause I still wanna know
Somedays it all seems like it should be
Next thing you know, I can't set myself free
I'm gonna stay here a while
I might think you won't know
But it's just my problem
And I can't let go

October
04:04
|

Shadows fall upon you shoulders
And I hate to see you cry
But your eyes are growing colder
And the echoes pass you by
I remember last October
When I finally fell apart
But my friend, those days are over
Man, I never thought they'd start
You wait so long to have your turn
And now you wanna watch it burn
There's a voice calling out to you
Whispers the words that I wanted to
And I waited all my life for this moment
Why didn't you?
Do you ever feel conflicted
When you're looking at yourself?
Cause your thoughts seem so restricted
And you act like someone else
Have you found the deepest answer?
Have you felt the purest pain?
You my friend, the tongue-tied dancer
Dodging glances in the rain
So nobody gets to see
If the movement sets you free
There's a voice calling out to you
Whispers the words that I wanted to
And I waited all my life for this moment
Why didn't you?

Well of Sorrow
03:54
|
|||
His eyes were looking down a well of sorrow
And happiness they say, is just a stone’s throw away
If I could reach you now, what would I tell you?
I hope there is an end to what you’ve been through
And if it seems right now, I got a lot on my mind, and not much to say,
Then please carry on til the moment you’re gone, but don’t be carried away
It seems that we've lost touch, I don't see clearly
It all becomes too much, and I feel sickly
And you should know by now, I got a lot on my mind, and not much to say,
So please carry on 'til the day you’re gone,
The words that you say, they will not last long
Please carry on 'til the day that you’re gone,
But don’t be carried away
I saw within his eyes, a well of sorrow
The kind that cuts strong ties, the same kind I’ve known
Another well runs dry, these thoughts won’t die instead
Another day goes by, I keep them in my head
One day I swear I’m gonna show that I care
And live the words I said
Some days I still look down a well of sorrow
Sometimes I think I’ll drown, I keep my eyes closed
And you should know by now I got a lot on my mind, and not much to say,
So please carry on 'til day that you’re gone,
The words that you say, they will not last long
Please carry on 'til the day that you’re gone,
But don’t be carried away, away, away
