Stillborn Moon

When all the lies you spread
Rain down on your head
I could be your roof
When all the blood you spilt
Stains your hands still
I'll wash away the truth
You shine like a stillborn moon
And I would kill for you
You shine like a stillborn moon
And I would kill for you
And if your heart should choke
On these splintered bones
You could pluck out mine
And if your eyes should tire
Of my funeral pyre
You could rob me blind

The Thaw
03:28
|
|||
|
Crow-black pines, twisted spines
Breaking through the street
Every step, frozen breath
Ground into concrete
But your face, it melts
all the ice in this place
I used to know
Every ache, every shame, every small, cold thought
Drifting silent and beautiful against your door
Keeps you safe, keeps you sound, keeps you warm
Until the thaw
Billboard smiles torn and wild
Twitching in the breeze
Round burnt wrecks, faded cheques
Swirl like autumn leaves
But your face, it melts
all the ice in this place
I used to know
Every ache, every shame, every small, cold thought
Drifting silent and beautiful against your door
Keeps you safe, keeps you sound, keeps you warm
Until the thaw

Something's not right
yeah something's going on
the room feels too tight
and I think that I might
burst like a bubble on a cracked and busted pane
weeping like blisters trying to wipe the dirt away
So hold tight to anyone you can find
losing it one day at a time
Yeah hold tight to anyone you can see
losing it oh so gracefully
I sleep on the floor now
in the corner beneath the sink
my bed was so quiet
I couldnt hear myself think
when the bottle and the conversation waned
that was the last time you ever said my name
So hold tight to anyone you can find
losing it one day at a time
Yeah hold tight to anyone you can see
losing it oh so gracefully
And somethings not right
I think somethings going on
the room feels too tight
and I think that I might
burst like a bubble on a cracked and busted pane
weeping like blisters trying to wipe the dirt away
trying to wipe the dirt away

Sometimes the geek doesnt get the girl
The credits are raining down
And nobody saved the world
last night, he stayed in plugged into the feed
From the camera on his monitor screen
This is not a set-up
For your TV show
This is not a set-up
Happy is as happy knows
Deaf, dumb, blind and comatose
It's life, but not as we know it
It's life, but not as we know
It's like some kind of monster
It's life, but not as we know
They're not already here
And if they were you wouldnt know
There's no unmarked van outside
And no tap on your phone
is dead, hung itself up and crawled to bed
Bleeding plastic echoes from its head
This is not a set-up
For your TV show
This is not a set-up
Happy is as happy knows
Deaf, dumb, blind and comatose
It's life, but not as we know it
It's life, but not as we know
It's like some kind of monster
It's life, but not as we know

Heaven's in bloom, it tastes sublime
The most beautiful waste of my fucking time
Take a picture, frame it nice
Stick in the pin and kill it stone
Dead butterflies under cut-glass grown
Why'd they come back every time,
After time?
Step forward and I'll give you something
To remember me by
Breathe in what you're given
Stealing hours to live in
Take a weekend away and see the sights
We know your face and we know your price
I would like to wish I cared
To be somewhere
Step forward and I'll give you something
To remember me by
Breathe in what you're given
Stealing hours to live in
And they mostly come at night, mostly
When the cloud smothers the sky, mostly
They come at night
Melts your bones inside
When all your friends say
They never knew your face
Breathe in what you're given
Stealing hours to live in
And they mostly come at night
When the cloud the smothers the sky

Patience
03:45

Patience, I am wearing thin
Carve me with the whispering
Patience, make me virtuous
This hunger is getting worse
If you feed it, it'll gut you
If you bleed it, it'll cut you
This chemical life, it's been getting tired
I'll kick it any day now
This chemical life just leaves me wired
I'll kick it any day now
Patience, what if I should fall?
Would you hear my call?
Patience, I have grown old
Crushing diamonds from your coal
If you feed it, it'll gut you
If you bleed it, it'll cut you
This chemical life, it's been getting tired
I'll kick it any day now
This chemical life just leaves me wired
I'll kick it any day now
All your kings and your poisoned crown
Like cattle to the kill
We follow after still
I will not hesitate to put you down

Dilute to Taste
05:50
|
|||
|
Spin on the web you made
One day you'll weave us face-to-face
I poured out my soul but you dilute to taste
Swill me round and spit me out again
Oh to be touched by you, its a dream come true
To know how it feels, to wake up beside you
Its a dream come true, beside you...
...but my best wont do, wont do
You're like needles beneath my skin
Sew myself up again to keep you in
These scars you left behind
They're all that keeps me alive
Oh to be touched by you, its a dream come true
To know how it feels, to wake up beside you
Its a dream come true, beside you...
...but my best wont do, wont do
And I feel like my sky has fallen down
The stars tonight lie dead on frozen ground

Fading Fast
04:02
|
|||
|
Sink into grey sand
It sucks the shoes right off my feet
Float up the cold veins
The kicking, scratching whores beneath my feet
Don't leave me here alone cos I fear this cannot last
I'm fading fast
Scream into thick air
I watch the words squirm and choke
A million voices
Ignored paper the road and noone knows
Don't leave me here alone cos I fear this cannot last
I'm fading fast

Jack-in-a-Box
04:51

She won't belong to this world
The tight-rope's stretched too thin
And your nets they won't catch this girl
She's diving down and swimming through herself
Plucking memories from their shells like
Jack-in-a-box
None to watch
As she slips away
Behind your back
Between the cracks
The air's too thick for this boy
It leaves bruises on his neck
Every day breaks like a cheap toy
And wakes him cold with sweat
He's hanging on
All his fingertips are worn like
Jack-in-a-box
Noone to watch
As he slips away
Behind your back
Between the cracks
He'll slip away
He'll slip away
And the world's not short on wonders
But I grew too short to reach
All of the good tunes have been plundered
Broken notes surround my feet
If I should trip
Please don't make a fuss of it
I'm Jack-in-a-box
Noone to watch
As I slip away
Behind your back
Between the cracks
I'll slip away
I'll slip away

The Hand That Feeds
03:45
|
|||
|
When the hand that feeds you soft words
Is the hand that grips your throat
Those nails in your thick skull
Won't hold for long you know
And I don't need your cheap tricks on my side
Twisting up and burning all my time
The colours that you paint me, they won't dry
Another blank line
Another dead smile
The sky is strafed and peppered
All the old days leaking out
Blank windows suck and strain like
Cling-film stretched across your mouth
And I don't need your cheap tricks on my side
Twisting up and burning all my time
The colours that you paint me, they won't dry
Another blank line
Another dead smile
While I fade out
I might spend one day without
The frost in my spine
A whispering reminder of everything that I have lost
And found at what a cost
And I don't need your cheap tricks on my side
Twisting up and burning all my time
The colours that you paint me, they won't dry
Another blank line
Another dead smile

In the Margin
05:50
|
|||
|
Heads down, incoming
sat in the car
waiting for the show to begin
well, we fell for it
my, don't we keep buying in
I dont remember what the question was
spent my time drawing in the margin
and now, too many sums to work out
but you could be my best guess
Everything on black
and everything else on red
blow the lid off it all
from your barrel going over the falls
well, we fell for it
my, we just keep buying in
I dont remember what the question was
spent my time drawing in the margin
and now, too many sums to work out
but you could be my best guess
yeah you could be my best guess
I dont remember what the question was
spent my time drawing in the margin
and now, too many sums to work out
and your star might shine down
and the world might turn round
Keep telling yourself
Just keep telling yourself
