1.
Barrel of a Gun
|
|
Do you mean this horny creep Set upon weary feet Who looks in need of sleep That doesn't come This twisted, tortured mess This bed of sinfulness Who's longing for some rest And feeling numb What do you expect of me What is it you want Whatever you've planned for me I'm not the one A vicious appetite Visits me each night And won't be satisfied Won't be denied An unbearable pain A beating in my brain That leaves the mark of Cain Right here inside What am I supposed to do When everything that I've done Is leading me to conclude I'm not the one Whatever I've done I've been staring down the barrel of a gun Is there something you need from me Are you having your fun I never agreed to be Your holy one Whatever I've done I've been staring down the barrel of a gun |

The Love Thieves
|
|
Oh the tears that you weep For the poor tortured souls Who fall at your feet With all their love begging bowls All the clerks and the tailors The sharks and the sailors All good at their trades But they'll always be failures Alms for the poor For the wretched disciples And the love that they swore With their hearts on the bible Beseeching the honour To sit at your table And feast on your holiness As long as they're able Love needs its martyrs Needs its sacrifices They live for your beauty And pay for their vices Love will be the death of My lonely soul brothers But their spirits shall live on in The hearts of all lovers You're holding court With your lips and your smile Your body's a halo Their minds are on trial Sure as adam is eve Sure as Jonah turned whaler They're crooked love thieves And you are their jailor Love needs its martyrs Needs its sacrifices They live for your beauty And pay for their vices Love will be the death of My lonely soul brothers But their spirit shall live on in The hearts of all lovers |

Here is a song From the wrong side of town Where I'm bound To the ground By the loneliest sound That pounds from within And is pinning me down Here is a page From the emptiest stage A cage or the heaviest cross ever made A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid And I thank you For bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found That I belong here The heat and the sickliest Sweet smelling sheets That cling to the backs of my knees And my feet But I'm drowning in time To a desperate beat And I thank you For bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found That I belong Feels like home I should have known From my first breath God send the only true friend I call mine Pretend that I'll make amends The next time Befriend the glorious end of the line And I thank you For bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found That I belong here |

It's No Good
|
|
I'm going to take my time I have all the time in the world to make you mine it is written in the stars above the gods decree you'll be right here by my side right next to me you can run, but you cannot hide Don't say you want me don't say you need me don't say you love me it's understood don't say you're happy out there without me I know you can't be 'cause it's no good I'll be fine I'll be waiting patiently till you see the signs and come running to my open arms when will you realise do we have to wait till the worlds collide open your eyes you can't turn back the tide Don't say you want me don't say you need me don't say you love me it's understood don't say you're happy out there without me I know you can't be 'cause it's no good I'm going to take my time I have all the time in the world to make you mine it is written in the stars above |

Useless
|
|
Well it's about time It's beginning to hurt Time you made up your mind Just what is it all worth All my useless advice All my hanging around All your cutting down to size All my bringing you down Watch the clock on the wall Feel the slowing of time Hear a voice in the hall Echoing in my mind All your stupid ideals You've got your head in the clouds You should see how it feels With your feet on the ground Here I stand the accused With your fist in my face Feeling tired and bruised With the bitterest taste All my useless advice All my hanging around All your cutting down to size All my bringing you down All your stupid ideals You've got your head in the clouds You should see how it feels With your feet on the ground |

Sister of Night
|
|
Sister of night When the hunger descends And your body's a fire An inferno that never ends An eternal flame That burns in desire's name Sister of night When the longing returns Giving voice to the flame Calling you through flesh that burns Breaking down your will To move in for the kill Oh sister Come for me Embrace me Assure me Hey sister I feel it too Sweet sister Just feel me I'm trembling You heal me Hey sister I feel it too Sister of night In your saddest dress As you walk through the light You're desperate to impress So you slide to the floor Feeling insecure Sister of night With the loneliest eyes Tell yourself it's alright He'll make such a perfect prize But the cold light of day Will give the game away Oh sister Come for me Embrace me Assure me Hey sister I feel it too Sweet sister Just feel me I'm trembling You heal me Hey sister I feel it too |

Freestate

I can hear your soul crying Listen to your spirit sighing I can feel your desperation Emotional deprivation Let yourself go Let yourself go Let your feelings show Picking up the conversations Deep in your imagination Tune in to the lonely voices Talking of their only choices Let yourself go Let yourself go Let your spirit go Step out of your cage And onto the stage It's time to start Playing your part Freedom awaits Open the gates Open your mind Freedom's a state I can taste the tears falling The bitterness inside you calling Yearning for a liberation Emotional emancipation Let yourself go Let yourself go Let your senses overflow Step out of your cage And onto the stage It's time to start Playing your part Freedom awaits Open the gates Open your mind Freedom's a state |

The Bottom Line
|
|
Like a cat dragged in from the rain who goes straight back out to do it all over again I'll be back for more it's something that is out of our hands something we will never understand it's a hidden law the apple falls destiny calls I follow you Like a pawn on the eternal board who's never quite sure what he's moved towards I walk blindly on and heaven is in front of me your heaven beckons me enticingly when I arrive it's gone the river flows the wise man knows I follow you I'm yearning I'm burning I feel love's wheels turning Like a moth on love's bright light I will get burned each and every night I'm dying to(o) the sun will shine the bottom line I follow you |

This is an insight Into my life This is a strange flight I'm taking My true will Carries me along This is a soul dance Embracing me This is the first chance To put things right Moving on Guided by the light And the spirit of love Is rising within me Talking to you now Telling you clearly The fire still burns Wisdom of ages Rush over me Heighten my senses Enlighten me Lead me on Eternally And the spirit of love Is rising within me Talking to you now Telling you clearly The fire still burns I'm talking to you now The fire still burns Whatever you do now You've got to give love The world still turns I'm talking to you now |
