Far from the right to take you on all bets are off and no one’s won even as my fingers burn reaching out for one more turn even as you bled my dry i stop to ask you why Fraulein i do enjoy the games you play you know i listen close to every word you say

Bitter Secrets 03:38
lyrics
buy track
i cancelled out and i’ve carried on watched my bridges burn into the dawn and for the last time i don’t care where she is and for the last time i don’t care what she does and if she does anyway. i’ve emptied out what was known stripped off the meat to bury the bones in every room theres a corner painted gold don’t keep us waiting here until we’re old do as you’re told this time. will someone tell our story once we’re gone? too many bitter secrets in our song all along the way. . .

Joy (Hope) 02:56
lyrics

I am still struck by the standstill the impossible matchless the impeccable grin and i am always up to the harness unsearchable slightness and unbreakable brim. and what... and anymore is such i hold out my hands to you I’m reaching through I’ve broken through and I’ve broken in. I am breathing in every moment untimely resurgence for an intimate whim undreamt of any resistance unbuckled and brazen and risen within and it seems to strange . . . how one house can rearrange this set of stripes and this set of pipes oh so worn and woven . . . aimlessly blistered.

No Good Thing Will Come Of This 04:11
lyrics

who . . . did you think . . . you would find . . . over here? every moment in her eyes unveils a thin disguise who am i to trip the wires? for all the nights i laid awake playing games of give & take it was all under the line. and no good thing will ever come of this you’ll have to close your eyes and push away . . . your tongue so you can never say i was gone - i was never coming back and now it’s time to throw my body on the track. colliding thoughts deep in my head breaking through a tangled web empty echoes in the night wonder how we’ll meet again as a foe or as a friend is there any difference now?

Man In A Can 02:33
lyrics
buy track
there was a man - a man in a can his fingers and bones on loan from a wandering caravan. up on a stand - he’s holding his hands still leaning deep in the moat lest his soul go afloat in the sand. They say it’s a mystery when he spoke to me but he could always sharpen his words. like a whiskey seed or a foreign deed and he could always burden the proof. he had a plan - delusional grande to the edge of the road try to lighten the load if he can. better to stand knee deep in the sand decided to drop to the top and i cut the rope as i ran. They say it’s a mystery when he spoke to me but he could always sharpen his words. like a whiskey or a foreign deed and he would never burden the proof and it wasn’t a lie if he lived or he died he was always on the loose and they tried to resolve what could never evolve now just look at the roots.

Another knife tip in the water Slowly slip into it's bitter sway And she might cut you up to blush And she is destined just to strip . . . Just to strip your world away. My lips are wet with ash and paper More than a finger's worth of dirt My home is out here among the wires And the smell of woman blood The smell of woman blood on my shirt. it's a strange piece of paradise Tell me if i lie down with you and die... Will anybody know? Oh it's a strange piece of paradise There's no need to run, Tell me what you've done And we'll twist it up and pound it into bone Tell me if you find the way back home. Keep your anchors down and your song unsung Your candle takes me out to where he's hung. And he still hangs like a cherry birch No less love and no less hell . . . No less HELL and no less worth it's a strange piece of paradise . . .

WELCOME IN THE WIND WELCOME IT TO ANYTHING AS A FRIEND AUTOMATED CRUTCH BLISTERS BROKEN AND ENGINE TRAILS . . . LET’S MAKE IT A MILE. OH LOVE, REST YOUR HEAD IT’S NOTHING TOO OBSCENE SCREAM YOUR NAME LAST ONE IN FIRST IS ONE IN VAIN NEVER TO BELIEVE - YOU’LL NEVER BE THE SAME WHITE SLIPS OF THE TONGUE WE’RE SUPPOSED TO SWALLOW IT BUT WE RUN. TEMPTED BY THE SOUND GARDENS GROW UP EVERYWHERE WE’RE AROUND. NEVER TO BELIEVE . . . NEVER BE THE SAME

YOU MAY STUMBLE AS YOU WALK AND YOU MAY CANCEL OUT YOUR BREATHING BUT WHEN YOU SPEAK - OUT OF YOUR THROAT I WILL GRAB YOUR VOICE AND SURELY BLEED IT. YOU MAY UNDO ALL THE TIMES TIMES YOU HARVESTED THESE FEELINGS BUT WHEN YOUR WORDS ESCAPE THEIR CAGE I WILL BIND YOUR LIPS AND SURELY BEAT THEM. SOMETHING UNRAVELS IN THE WOODS . . .ALL ALONE WE USED TO LIE AND WATCH THE DOGS TEARING APART ANOTHER SACRED CHOICE DIVIDED. SOMETHING UNRAVELS IN THE WOODS . . .ALL ALONE WE USED TO LIE AND WATCH THE DOGS TEARING APART ANOTHER ABSENT VOICE DECIDED. NO . . . NO . . . NO . . . NO . . . YOU MAY UNDO ALL THE TIMES TIMES YOU HARVESTED THESE FEELINGS BUT WHEN YOUR WORDS ESCAPE THEIR CAGE I WILL BIND YOUR LIPS AND SURELY BEAT THEM. I WILL BLEED THEM INTO MINE.

THIS FALLEN VOICE EVERYDAY IT BEGS AND PLEADS TO PULL ME UNDER. LEAVES ME NO CHOICE AS THE WAVES STRETCH OUT TOWARDS THE THUNDER. BUT YOU’VE GOT THE LOVE - YOU’RE IN THE LIGHT YOU’VE SEEN THE PAGE BURNIN’ - SO HOLD ON TIGHT YOU’VE CROSSED THE LINE - THERE’S NO DESIRE YOU NEED TO LEAVE TO BELIEVE. HEY MISS CAVALIER WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THE GAME HAS BEEN A BLUNDER I’LL WEAR YOUR CROWN THERE’S STILL TIME TO CREEP AROUND TIME TO WONDER. TAKE THIS FALLEN VOICE EVERYDAY IT BEGS AND PLEADS TO PULL ME UNDER. LEAVES ME NO CHOICE AND IT ONLY GRANTS THE SONG FOR ANOTHER.
