I´m an item on a list Something to accomplish The ever-growing density of time and space No sexual release No deep and inner peace Not anything to hold you to the impossible world The devil owns our fallen world I'm all cracked up And broken down I'm that sinking feeling Of leaving town You're the empty space You're nicotine You're the anesthetic My fucked up sleep routine The devil owns our fallen world Oh, all I wish I'd done Is to get beyond the guilt and pain To take the punch And all I ever did is spend the nights Talking myself to meaninglessness. Meaninglessness Meaninglessness Oh, I talked myself to meaningless Meaninglessness Meaninglessness Please talk me into meaning The devil owns our fallen world And I cut my hair Got cold under the blade Oh tell me where These words go when they're said

Ever since the day they took the body away Her hopes fell silent She bit the apple and was left for dead Defiant She was a fuse that broke the dark and lit the way She meant every word she said She's the closing that he couldn't find In dark nights. Saying All you´ve got to be is stronger than me. And all I've left to do is confide in you Small hands. Wet eyes Have been forgotten Drowned in dust Deaf ears. Closed mouths Is where we lost them (Long enough) They´ve been listening for a lifetime But still don't understand That all they ever do is pretend She said Time is not a river but a boat lost at sea That comes full circle back to me That comes full circle back to me All you´ve got to be is stronger than me. And all I've left to do is confide in you Time is not a river but a boat lost at sea That comes full circle back to me

Ambulance 03:34
The lights burned down Don't you love the sound? The sedative buzzing Of my words Signifying nothing? The bang and whimper God's lonely call All you hold dear Is to rise and fall And I've stuck electrodes to what should be alive I know hope dies last, oh, but lastly it dies Can't seem to see you as a white rose or a halo over me We fell from grace Beneath the bottom line of things unsaid The remnants of our terrible mistakes The shape that love takes when it freezes up I spent half a year setting fires with my brittle hands We are crawling in circles We're circles in circles We're lighting wildfires Extinguishing flames We're the hope and ruin We're holding on tighter Pushing us away We're circles and circles and circles in us Always breaking down. Constantly rebuilding Always breaking down. Constantly rebuilding Oh, I've stuck electrodes to what should be alive I know hope dies last, oh, but lastly it dies Can't seem to see you as a white rose or a halo over me We'll fall from grace again Oh, I can't feel a pulse of what's dead like the night I know hope dies last but I've seen its faded eyes Can't seem to see you as a white rose or a halo over me We fell from grace We're circles in circles

On A Grave 03:53
My narrow limits. My lack of confidence My endless great, great powerlessness My deep desires and short sight I'll sit, be quiet and listen Turned myself down a notch, cranked you up a lot That's of no use when the speakers are falling apart You said you would not leave till I'm in a cold dark grave Oh, I still picture tombstones wearing our pretty names You'd put your head through the wall I'd pick you up when you'd fall Thought we could be A glaring guiding light for all the world to see My smile's a skeleton grin Killed such a beautiful thing I doubt that God Would sacrifice another son for us I felt my body lose the control A million cigarettes ago The hopes and fears from all these years Are here with us tonight They are taking shapes and given names Until the morning light You'd put your head through the wall I'd pick you up when you'd fall Thought we could be A glaring guiding light for all the world to see My smile's a skeleton grin Killed such a beautiful thing I doubt that God would sacrifice another son for us What kind of bastard nails his child to the cross? Better to be angry than nothing at all Better to be gone when the curtain calls It's the tiniest things that keep life interesting Like an airplane crash or a school shooting The danger is you don't resist The danger is you die like this Oh, I won't wait for what time may bring The way out is the way in The way out is the way in Our pretty names carved on a grave

Gallows 03:12
Silence The royal cul-de-sac It shatters you to pieces Slowly breaks your neck And all the sweating All the shivering we've done is worthless Longing for a warmth that only fire can give You're just as dead, bring on the gasoline We're burning to be seen Your soup has gone cold. My drink's warmed up Is anyone listening? Cause I think you're not It's this mediocrity of everything That keeps my eyes shut in the morning I´ve seen you Busy putting holes into the ground Making seeds grow to be gallows To let your fears hang down And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving You caught me blind in your headlights Come find me on the other side Silence A hollow victory Can't really say how one tells it from defeat It's been a long job piecing this together, love A whole that must spell Death To Us We must burn. We must burn Drown in the heat I´ve seen you Busy putting holes into the ground Making seeds grow to be gallows To let your fears hang down And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving You caught me blind in your headlights Come find me on the other side And I've seen you Busy putting pins into my eyes So I can't see where you´re going Once we've said goodbye And the cops can go to hell and take us with them You caught me blind in your headlights I'll see you in another life

Dark clouds are closing in again Wild thunder calls with heavy rain You know the calm before the storm The devil's running through your veins You pick the fight, you've crossed the blades The lights are down, but not out I know you're not dead cause you will stand up I know you're not dying cause the dead lie down I know you're not dead cause you will stand up Let me be your ultrasound In the midnight-hour It's everything in this world that ain't simple It's hardest fucking thing to do And the day your tender heart starts pumping blood A thousand doors've already shut But you kick em in and you walk right through Go walk right fucking through This feeling's been here forever And it'll stay until the day you die But hell, you'll beat it every time It's everything in this world that ain't simple It's hardest fucking thing to do And the day your tender heart starts pumping blood A thousand doors've already shut But you kick 'em in and you walk right through Go walk right fucking through How do we prepare for the times to come? How do we find peace with what has been done? How do we react when it all looks the same? Forever working towards change Chained to the dark we drag ourselves towards the light Chained to the dark we try to build a better life Till the end of history

The morning I did not wake up Cause I hadn't closed my eyes The darkness stayed, our wasted lives Chased us through the night I found a way out of life A death that is keeping me alive The line is drawn, the curse is cast And I will guide my shoes Not with a broken heart But to the heart of what is broken in you (and it cut me too) The shame is for ourselves The past is something you can't take away The shame is for ourselves Our disappointments wear each other's names The morning I did not wake up Like graveyards over ground Surrounded by a thousand people When at the same time you're alone The night I didn't close my eyes Like graveyards over ground Surrounded by a thousand people When at the same time you're alone I found a way out of life A death that is keeping me alive I saw you turn off the lights Dried up the water alright We stand alone
8.
The year passed Unforgiving. Inexorable We dragged ourselves around the sun Impossible Oh, one fine day, you grow together And one fine day, it ends forever Calm me down Gravity, pull My drifting feet to the ground Make me conquer my own silence Send me empty into the night I said I'd be your light. But I can't be this time Just show me one thing in this hollow world That is exactly just what you think it is Between ideas And reality there falls a shadow And our shadows are casting shadows Calm me down Gravity, pull My drifting feet to the ground The only pain I enjoy is self-inflicted Not old barren wounds or crawling sickness Go, sub-consciousness, intervene, do your part and what's required Oh, I would walk away and shed my skin If these memories were quiet Shed my skin Take me in Shed my skin

Cold Smoke 02:46
You've got me feeling like cold smoke The ghost of something that burned long ago And I´m understanding hope As a concept that you preach before you go The first word leads to the second The second to a line The line leads me give it up this time It's just another crack, yeah One thing you should have said One more one last time not coming back Like corpses in mortuaries We are laid out in bed Looking vast asleep While we're already dead Dressed up Still here somehow Soon the be coffin-bound And six feet in the ground You've got me feeling like cold smoke The ghost of something that burned long ago And I´m understanding hope As a concept that you preach before you go Before you go Like piano-wire, cyanide and guillotine Oblivion is baring its rotten teeth And everything you say Sounds like death to me These dull words wrap around my neck But you're just as dead You've got me feeling like cold smoke The ghost of something that burned long ago And I´m understanding hope As a concept that you preach before you go We burned long ago Too damn long ago All we breathe is smoke
10.
When my father dies I stand alone before death I hope I have constructed myself for this Not sure I'm contributing, uncertain I've progressed Two worlds that coexist in everything that I am Waste your life Come watch the years go by Waste your life Till we're nothing but dust in wet eyes
11.
Waking Up 04:20
We could've stood there waiting till the light had gone We set our conscience on fire. We're wasted young Now I broke my bones, I'll leave them here Come trap me in your camera before I disappear Deep down, deep down. Beneath the violence of words We spoke half a language that no one had heard What are we to do with all this future? How are we to fill the years? Can't sleep them away Waking up - Staring in the darkness waiting for a sign Waking up - You hope you'll grow into this haunted after-life Waking up - With all the motions that you started at an end Waking up - Wishing the dead could just start breathing again Are you losing the taste? Have we come apart in the atmosphere? With no pressure and no gravitation Holding us together, we disappeared Are you losing the taste? Have we come apart in the atmosphere? With no pressure and no goddamn gravitation Our bodies are bound to disappear Corrode me. Dissolve me Split my atoms and turn me into light Sleep it all away Waking up - Staring in the darkness waiting for a sign Waking up - You hope you'll grow into this haunted after-life Waking up - With all the motions that you stared at an end Waking up - Wishing the dead could just start breathing again Breathing again You're not the only one You know the devil sat by my bedside You're not the only one You know the devil sang me to sleep Waking up Picking up the pieces where we dropped them They amount to nothing If we can't break through the rage
