- Break those chains
A life like frozen water on the duck pond in the town I grew up in with old man winter, frost on the window, the birds all gone to somewhere warmer and I wonder how long will I feel so breakable yet unfazed by anything as if I could crack but I hold it all in, well maybe everyone's felt like that all along and forever ago.
And these chains of papers and payments are heavy as water and I can feel myself drowning and I'm seeing red in each sense of that colour, red like blood and debt and rage and all I want is to break those chains but I don't want to start over again.
I want to carry on without my wreckage, without my treasure, all along and forever, carry on without my chains, without my name because I'm more than just a number.
But I walk across this frozen pond, I hear the scream of fractures and I wonder if I'll break this time or carry on into the night. The ice it creaks and groans and I can swear I hear her laughter and I'm scared as hell that I don't understand what this all means.
- Burned
Burned
Easily crushed up, kind of callow
Shoot the shutterbugs in Time's Square
Peanut brittle in Candy Land
Archetypal brunette with hawks eye's
A lion's man and pale horse heart
Bit in mouth and ring in nose
Led by red, mistrusted instead
- Dancing in the Grey
Oh, how we pray upon
The signs and banners now
The times are still to find
In this cold, wildest room
Where I can call the shots
And no-one tells me what to do
The medication's run out
And now I've gotta choose
- Feed The Flames
In the dark part of the woods
В темной части леса
Up to nothing good
До ничего хорошего
Hide your secret smile better
Скрыть ваш секретный улыбку лучше
Но единственный способ дышать
- The bells still ring
It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold
So I fell in love with a girl and then I told her so
She was drunk in the fountain, blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing
I thought it was childish, but then I caught the joke
It made me laugh and it made me sneeze like a common cold
But I felt alive and I wanted her to know
The maps on our faces told our tale, showed us where to go
- Through The Night and Back Again
Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Though I'll have to hollow out my heart
I'm scraping out the insides of a pumpkin
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Dress it up like someone else's nightmare
Candle flickering alive inside
- Wolves
I'm losing faith just before dark
but when the fire's gone cold I'm still catching sparks
and this canyon is a clutter of old scars
all of my ghosts they congregate here
it's like a seance of sorts, the skeleton years
but my honour is older than my tears
- Your Hands
Keepin' the wolves at bay.
When there's rust in the leaves it's a sign that the moods gonna change,
And come pick a fight.
So i'll wrap my self up in my jacket and gloves.
Disguised in the hide of a cow,
As if my skin weren't enough,
To protect me from the elements.
