Get Out

In my mind of this time, I am here for a while
I can't stay in your shade, just move on that's all I'll say
And you break free from me
My soul can breathe on again
Get out...
My cold hard mind is the only sun that I find
I don't care for the pain, I'll endure it all again
And you break free from me
My soul can breathe on again
Get out...
I'll miss out...
I'll get out...

Until Then

Come on all of you here
You can't see for your fears
Come on all you sycophants I'm tired of you
Sitting round and wondering what am I to do
And it's all so messed up, it is so messed up...
Dragging round the ball and chain, I'll try for you
Playing this silly, silly game, I cannot move
And it's all so messed up, it is so messed up...
So come on all you sycophants relinquish your grip
I can't run away from this, I know, I know...

Cast Aside
03:05

Yeah it's all been the same
This backwards world crawling through my brain
Tell me something not to be ashamed of
Cos it feels alright, to live my life
Maybe someone good will come along
A bright eyed girl who sings a song
With every note never to go wrong
And it feels alright, to live our lives
And we want, everything, to be like, a movie
But we all, got cast, aside
Let me get to all your sun
Shining on the chosen one
Maybe I'm just not that fun
Cos it's not me, it's not me
But we want, everything, to be like, a movie
But we all, got cast, aside

Lord & Lady: Welcome my young knave...Heart so stout and brave...Who stands amongst us here...Doubtless without cheer...Loathe to decry most of your time...You think everything will be alright...We don't understand you in our minds...You don't see a point in our fight.
Knave: Lady and sire I'm bought entirely...I never meant to harm you direly!
Lord & Lady: Fill me up with this...Drink us up in fits...Broken we are here...Something we don't fear...We're self-serving most of the time...We're all drunk on this short-sighted wine...Dance to me if you want out of this...Drink with us and you're head you won't miss!
Knave: Bereft am I...I'm caught entirely...Don't strike down upon me sire please!
Lord & Lady: Are you cognizant...We hold you in contempt...You overstepped your bounds...Now our ax will sound...Don't give us a look of disdain...We're not yours to judge I'm afraid...You have had your chance just before now...Good day to you but please take a bow.
Knave: Lady and sire I implore you...Please don't cast me to your floor you.......

Strung Out
03:28

|

I know how you feel, I can't stay, I can't stay
It pains my heart to see you strung out this way, strung out this way
Maybe it's for the best?
I don't know
Maybe it's not?
What we do to make things so?
I don't know
And how'd we fall apart?
I can't say
But I'll still say I'm sorry things turned out this way
Maybe its for the best?
I don't know
Maybe its not?
Anyways, I'll love you still.

Too Tired to Care
05:47

|

Oh everybody
We're all null, I'm so sorry
We get so excited, we get so excited
Over nothing at all, nothing at all
Have one at me
I can take what you think
I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid
Of what you say, of what you say
It's alright, I can see my faults, I keep them in sight
Everyone, you don't have to believe, you will reach the end, eventually
It's all there we're just too tired to care
God, keep us going
Our lives can be so lonely
We have hope that we're all loved, we have hope that we're all loved
God...

All In Time
05:16
|
|

Something falls in our minds, it will be the end of us
Empty guns shoot us up, mental strikes, internal strife
All I'm saying, all I'm saying
Bide our time with the flies
The updrafts can blind our eyes
Solemn hopes of our fathers, windswept, scattered under the sun
The clouded sun, the clouded sun
Don't be so unaffected
I can see, I can see it's all going to be that way
All in time, in our time
The winds sway, our memories fade, we don't care, we're not here anymore
Stolid lives, downward cries
Moonlight's foremost in our eyes
Draw our breath before the plunge, sacred hearts have all been sung
All I'm saying, all I'm saying is don't be so unaffected
The day is spent, our time we lent to unabridged exploits and fits
Still something falls in our minds, it will be the end of this

Don't Look Back
03:51

|

Some say time says enough
Most just can't, can't keep up
Peel your eyes for this view
You'll always find something new
Say your sorry for my time
You see right through me
But catch my lies
Come back to living life
Maybe now I'll get it right
Peel your eyes for this view
You'll always find something new
Don't look back...

Experiment

So you think you found your way out?
Well you're wrong
So you think you found your way out?
Well you're wrong, wrong
Sleeping hearts unnamed
Darling sons please refrain
Pissing their lives away
Lived out their days
Sail by on ships
Commiserate on this
Ages flow by
All tricks of the eye
So you think...
Think...
So you think of me kindly everywhere you go
I must say I'm gracious to be known
A martyred spirit comes to claim his own
I am star struck
And you know you're just like your sires, filled with desires
Nothing has changed you know it's time
You must be reckoned entirely, set on your pyre please
All fettered with diamonds and beautiful silence
