How It Ends

Your barricade went up, the tremor hit too soon
Rebounding like elastic pulled across a steel rule
You separate the options, consolidate the means
Consider all the candidates serrated into three:
One of them’s a bore, one of them’s a fool
One of them’s a liar and he says that he loves you, oh -
Destroy the two you can’t defend
’Cos they don’t have the stamina to see this to the end...
Bones break
Arms ache
Souls escape
And I know that you weren’t saved
As earth decays
The dead could wake
But I won’t let you go…
Now we’re crucified, impaled; the parachutes have failed
We’re gathering momentum as we founder in the gale
Our senses are estranged, there’s no-one left to blame
The air that once gave life to us is howling and deranged.
If nobody moves, then no-one gets hurt
So I will lie still, surrender my nerves, oh -
And I’ll be here when you wake
Another day away from you is more than I can take…
Bones break
Arms ache
Souls escape
And I know that you weren’t saved
As earth decays
The dead could wake
But I won’t let you go…
Breathe me in, the sky will let you
Breathe me in, the sky will let you
The end has come, but you don’t have to be afraid, just close your eyes
And I am one with you all of the time, all of the time inside
You breathe, so quiet and calm, and you feel so serene to me
And darling, now our fall is gaining speed…
And I would give to you all that you’ll ever need, so you can be
All of the things you wanted to believe you’d always be
At the greatest height that you have ever seen
Now sleep, my sweet, and darling I will be there when you dream
Take me with you
when you dream

The Stack

Write it on the walls of this town
The staging and the doors
And watch it as it burns to the ground
Just to see you there, just to see you there…
Write it on the walls of this town
It’s slowing to a crawl
And as a violent shiver flowed from her gown
They left her vacant there, just swaying in the air
The gathered unaware, body and soul laid bare.
You lined them up and shot them down, lined them up and shot them down
So in this poison I will drown, for all the sorrow you confound
And in her eyes they saw my crime; in her eyes the world went blind
You lined them up and shot them down, and buried her beneath this town
Heal my sick heart;
heal my sick heart.
If she ascends the funeral pyre, she will save the world entire
As lightning cracked atop the spire, and tried to set the earth on fire
The sky grew darker by the hour, immortals cry and angels cower
A storm will rage above the tower, and vengeance claim a world devoured…

Twisted Kites

The idiot inside has been feeding after midnight
The newborn is stirring, the gateway is opening wide
And I hold her tight, as our hearts divide
I feel her yearning in vain as she claws at the light
It’s beautiful
In a world so small
As we swim in a womb where the fluid is constant and warm
Our spirits thrive
And we’re intertwined
As we swallow water together and neither one dies.
The idiot inside blinks two amniotic eyes
But I’ll shed my cocoon if you promise to stay for a while
We’ll unify, and we’ll harmonise
You laugh like a child, myopic, and so then am I…
Spinning above you
A planetary refuge
The stars are suspended on wire, they’re revolving above you.
It’s a place you return to
Where everyone loves you
The cradle will act as a shield against all that you’ll go through
It’s beautiful
In a world so small
Our home is a womb where the fluid is constant and warm
Our spirits thrive
And we’re intertwined
We’re swallowing water together but neither one dies.
As the court indicts
Your soul ignites
When your fingers interlock mine, I forget what it’s like
We’re twisted kites
And we burn so bright
As the jury decrees, the defendants are all but resigned
We’re twisted kites
And we burn so bright
As the jury decrees, the defendants are all but resigned
As the jury decrees, the defendants are all but resigned…

Beneath you is a chasm I can’t understand
It feeds you, isn’t anything worth salvaging?
There’s nothing written on your face
A world in ruin laid to waste
I reach out as you slip away
Oh, promise you won’t be afraid…
All you can say is: “Who will miss me when I’m gone?”
I will stare out at these faces here and tell you, “Everyone”
And I, I won’t say I adore you
I will not cry; I will not mourn you
And all of these lies, they’ll die before you
And you’ll be denied, well I hate to inform you:
You’ll be denied…
They’ll grieve you, black and underhand, like no-one here
believes you, they’re trying to run while they can barely stand
And silence greets me when I call
Been shut down now forevermore
The answers you denied them all
Are closing behind every door…
All you can say is: “Who will miss me when I’m gone?”
I will stare out at these faces here and tell you, “Everyone”
Silence greets me when I call
Been shut down now forevermore
The answers you denied them all
Are closing behind every door
I’m struggling now to stay afloat
I falter here with every note
The eyes all stare like I should know
The words will catch inside my throat
And all you can say is: “Who will miss me when I’m gone?”
I will stare out at these faces here and tell you, “Everyone”
You’ll be denied
Like a scream in the night
And all of these lies
The pain will subside, like heaven before you…
Hold on

Ambulances

There’s blood in my eyes
And I can’t shake this feeling;
Can’t stop the bleeding.
All my life
I’ve waited for something
I’m through with this suffering
It’s all been for nothing…
Prove me wrong.
There’s blood in my mouth
It drips from the ceiling.
Can you hear me screaming?
’Cos all that you’re saying is wrong.
But your perfume is haunting
I’ll never stop wanting
I’ll never stop wanting…
Slaves go marching on
Beneath this burning sun.
The light inside you shone
Forever and beyond.
There’s love in my arms
But it’s cold and I’m freezing.
I can feel you breathing -
Sharp as knives.
I’m barely alive
But you’re here with me
You’re here with me…
Erasing all that’s wrong
The years of hurt are gone
And so you lead me on
Into the great beyond…

She whispered as the night unfurled:
a thousand ways to stop this world, but
Don’t look now; don’t look now…
She held my sadness deep inside,
with no call for disguise as she said:
“Don’t look now; don’t look now…”
You put me in a box in the ground,
it’s sealed so tight I can’t be found -
“You’re safe...”
You put me in a box in the ground,
I’m trying so hard to make no sound –
“You’re safe…”
In all your love
for all time
and all my joy
in these severed lives
So I climbed out upon the wing,
the last rite I could bring, and you say:
“Don’t look down; don’t look down…”
Her kingdom fell, they all did bow
But her words echoed true: “Be still now” –
Don’t look down; don’t look down…
You put me in a box in the ground,
it’s sealed so tight I can’t be found -
“You’re safe…”
You put me in a box in the ground,
I’m trying so hard to make no sound –
“You’re safe…”
In all your love
for all time
and all my joy
in these severed lives
And it all came down
Right before you hit the ground
And it all came down
Right before you hit the ground

Build America

You’ve got eyes, wild, a maze of illusion
You say you’re building a land of the future
But the boat that transported you here today
Was left cast ashore before turning away
In the storm, thrown by the sting of a wave
Overboard, her captaincy there to be saved
By the same gods who would raise up the tide
And leave not one soul left alive…
You laid three graves where this quake split the earth
Commissioned a flag to embroider your worth
You don’t know, no, how your life’s about to change
You don’t know, no, that I’m slipping out of range
You won’t know, no, when good things are coming to you
Oh, don’t you know good things are coming to you soon…
Now your heart yearns like a fire in November
Burns more fuel than you care to remember
Too scared to cry for the love of a saviour
Too drunk to dream of our romantic failure
Take arms, destroy all that’s left of the union
Your mind, a library of rage and confusion
That glows white as it repopulates
All the ships bound for the United States
You raised this whole country up from the ground
But you’re not discovered yet, you’ve not been found
You won’t know, no, how your life’s about to change
You won’t know, no, that I’m slipping out of range
You won’t know, no, when good things are coming to you
Oh, don’t you know good things are coming to you soon…
I can’t feel anything
I can’t taste anything
I don’t love anyone
I won’t live anymore…

The Throwdown
05:54

I can’t feel a single thing when the repetition clears
And I can’t sweat this fever out, even after all these years
Forgiven all that I am not, her echo lost inside my thoughts
Two incandescent flares in the dark, ignited by a single spark
Throw down light for me
I’ll pretend to breathe
Forever denied relief
There is nothing I can say we know I haven’t thought before
And though I raise my voice to speak, you can’t hear me anymore
The smash of particles collide where the land becomes the sky
And you will be arisen here, aligning with my atmosphere
Throw down light for me
I’m willing to believe
Whatever you think I’ve seen
Throw down light to guide me
So when I’m lost you’ll find me
The fight distils inside me
And love will save us, finally
Everything’s going to be alright, if you hold on to me now…
We will walk into the fire, and you will come to no harm
They’re flashing signals across the sky, so you will come to no harm
When they saw God there in your eyes, they knew you’d come to no harm
And all your fears will end tonight, and you will come to no harm.
The haunting begins now
It begins now.

Last Known Survivors

The storm will break
and you’ll lead me back to shore
It’s all it takes to survive.
And it’s here I’ll wait
for a thousand years or more
It’s all it takes to survive.
Just let it die;
Let it die
And we’ll chase away our demons, you and I;
We will rise
And we’ll float up and dissolve into the sky
All of the time.
All of the time.
It’s hard to shake
the feeling we’ve been here before
It’s all it takes to survive.
So now I will forsake
every temptation but yours
It’s all it takes to survive.
Just let it die;
Let it die
And we’ll chase away our demons, you and I;
We will rise
Where it’s warm and getting warmer
Where this code’s assuming order
When we’re torn apart, redeem these double lives.
All of the time - it burns inside you
All of the time - like grace denied you
All of the time - the wait divines you
All of the time - but I will find you…
