Love the Hard Way
06:10
|
|||
In the middle of your evening, close your eyes
Under the cover of darkness is the best disguise
Set the moon on fire one more time
Like so many nights before colored by cries
“Don’t look back” oughta be your motto
See the past only shows the sorrow
Burn it all, let the flames take it away, take me away
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
There’s a wind blowing my way, growing cold
Calling names long forgotten from ages old
In the dark, can you find me, hiding still?
Forging a blaze to create an iron will
“Don’t look back” oughta be my motto
Show the past, only see the sorrow
Burn it all, let the flames take it away, take me away
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
Ghosts don’t come back, don’t you tell me
Stories of what-ifs and will-be’s
Don’t pull me out from my dark fire, take it all away
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way
I learned to love the hard way

I Love You Very Much
04:06
|

Dó
You fill my heart with endless joy
You grace my soul with warm desire
My love no one could ever destroy
There’s no way they’ll put out our fire
Words often fail to show what I feel inside
But know I’ll love you till the day I die
Look at me, I made you breakfast
Breakfast in bed
How could I resist, when you tempt me with your kiss
There’s no way I can control it when it’s growing more and more
I know you feel it too cos I can see it coming through
You know I love you very much
So so much
Every day, you light my way
To hell and back, I’ll walk for you
There is no demon I would not slay
I’ll make you feel evergreen and new
Words often fail to show what I feel inside
But know I’ll love you till the day I die
Aah
Chorus2- I love you very much, I love you very much
Every moment that I breathe I’m aching for your touch
I love you very much, I love you very much
How could I even explain that I love you so much
I love you so so much

Blood and Water
03:54
|

Can you teach me how to walk in the city?
I think I tried it once or twice, but it wasn’t pretty
Wanna make sure that I look good for the spotlight
Don’t wanna show my face when I’m out rebelling all night
Too much I don’t need to know, too late, I gotta go
Brother and I go back a long time
Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine
Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop
Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone, kicked in, screwed loose
Words from the family won’t leave me alone
I got too much to say, I’m not something that you own
Sleep tight, I’ll be out soon, hope your night’s not dire
I’m gonna set the bed on fire
Water won’t help this time, cos blood’s thicker than water
Brother and I go back a long time
Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine
Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop
Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone
Brother and I go back a long time
Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine
Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop
Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone, kicked in, screwed loose
Something wrong in the air
Feeling crazy, no one cares
Funny people, funny names
All so special, all the same
Hit me with a word from the wise
No more preaching with those ice cold eyes
Feeling heavy under doom and gloom
Show me a new door to break through
Brother and I go back a long time
Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine
Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop
Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone
Brother and I go back a long time
Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine
Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop
Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone, kicked in, screwed loose

Dance with Dave
05:50
|
|||
So, I find myself in a corner
Crimson tale like no other
Stuck in between a hard place
And a fellow named Dave
A funny name for a quiet man
Can’t say too much, hope he understands
That we’ve got nothing in common
Except for that song
Playing so loud yet so soft to the touch
We can’t help but stare, over there
To the ones loving the moment’s rush
Small talk’s too large of a task, Must I ask
What to do with Dave when I’ve absolutely nothing to add
I can tell, that he too is an unwilling party
To this all too peculiar party
A face to fill the scene
An unwilling heart evergreen
My fingers complete another rhythm melody
Hands in pockets want to wander way from me
How long can this song go on?
The silence must not carry on
Questions too simple, too vague, too rudimentary
You see, we are adults, yet can’t converse
With positive results
How long must I sit in place, Placid faced
Next to this man named Dave? Oh Dave!
So, the dance is reaching its finish
Dave is restless and Finnish
Our better halves come to get us
And take us back home
Pleasantries unpleasantly exchanged
Future parties carefully arranged
Better make sure that
We four don’t ever cross paths
Feeling relieved cos I truly believed that
Our silence would resume eternally
With no break from reality
As our wives speak of second times
I’m stuck, once again, in a heavy silence with Dave, oh no!

Please don’t turn on the machine…
Please don’t turn on the machine…
Please don’t turn on the machine…
Please don’t turn on the machine…
Please d--
They told me not to make a move, not to make a sound
They told me that it’s safe, then so why aren’t they around?
They told me, you’ve been warned, it’s gonna get a little loud
But I had no idea that I’d be swallowed by that sound
The machine stops for a moment
I can hear it breathing
Its cogs keep spinning
What’s that sound, what’s that sound in my head?
It’s a crackle that’s not supposed to be there
They told me that it’s safe
If it’s safe then why can’t I move?
They got me tied down to a bed of nails
There it is again, the crackle
I can’t yell out, I’ll move too much
I’m stuck here, as the cogs keeps spinning
It’s oh so quiet, and it’s all so scary
Every track it plays, it hits in different ways
The machine’s chaotic melody, it rotates and it sways
How long has it been, is it okay? Is it safe?
Did they find that thing in me, that’ll put me in the grave?

Carnal State
05:59
|

Falling in a burning book of pasts long passed
Taken away from the lonely hearts holding tight to their right
Why the people fear the ghosts misunderstood
In our concrete jungle world, there’s no place for the skewed
Keeping you in line, hungry all the time
Devil’s in the details, devil’s in the rhyme
We’ve seen it all before, didn’t even change the score
All according to their plan
Everything you want, everything you are
Is a part of a plan with your mind in mind
Anything you do, will come for you
When lights don’t shine where you want them to
Take away the need to say what’s on your mind
It can bring you peace if only for a little while
Stories of unwritten truths find eyes beguiled
It is only a matter of time before they’re let loose to run wild
Flavors of the flesh, savory and fresh
Remove the troublesome whatevers in your head
It’s a matter of time before words are a crime
In a world strictly sublime
Anything you want, anything you do
Is all nicely designed and given to you
Don’t cross the line, and you’ll be fine
But where they draw the line all depends on you
Take a number, take a seat, take a break from the heat
And enjoy their ploy to enamor you
Look at all their pretty lights, freedom in sight
Awaiting you to set it free
Keeping you in line, hungry all the time
The meat’s still on the bone, you’re not eating it alone
We’ve seen it all before, didn’t even change the score
All according to their plan
Everything you want, everything you are
Is a part of a plan with your mind in mind
Anything you do, will come for you
When lights don’t shine where you want them to
Flavors of the flesh, savory and fresh
Take away those thoughts living in your head
It’s a matter of time before words are crime
In a world with a painted on smile
In a world where darkness never shines
In a world strictly sublime

Cold Iron
03:09
|

I got a monkey hanging on my back
It’s holding on, ready to attack
Gotta rip it off, fore it ruins the mood
I wanna get it off, get in on, loud and lewd
No crazy cat can bust my jive
I’m a crazed dust biter staying alive
You’ll feel me if you dare to cross the line
I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel
I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone
I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy
There ain’t no mortal man can bother me
I got a twitchy hand, finger on the trigger
Better keep your fist from getting bigger
I’ll one you up, I’ll knock you down
Cos I’m the most cold chilly dog around
Can’t make a move I won’t replace
With a slap of reality in the face
Better turn and run before I put you in place
I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel
I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone
I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy
There ain’t no mortal man can bother me
No crazy cat can bust my jive
I’m a crazed dust biter staying alive
You’ll feel me if you dare to cross the line
I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel
I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone
I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy
I’m cold iron, no mortal man that I can’t beat
I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel
I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone
I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy
There ain’t no mortal man can bother me

Take a look who’s coming into town
It’s a little red man with a little red crown
Up ahead is a growing crowd
Passions marching out, shouting mighty loud
Keep me away from you
Look but don’t touch whatever you do
I can hear us screaming out for help
Take a look what you done, take a look at yourself
If you tell us we are under control
Can we sit our ground when life takes its toll?
Let’s build a wall, build it fast
Grow it tall, see how long it lasts
You better stay in place, the boss is on the case
Keep Mother Earth safe at her bay, right where you lay
That’s what they say
On the day they closed the world
With fire forming down below
How long can we watch the show
Till we open up the doors
And say goodbye to the earthly world we’ve grown to know
Save me, I’m running out of breath
Don’t breathe too deep, you’ll catch your death
Take a walk, feed the sunny sunshine
And wave away the twyly light
Listen to those in the know
Watch for whatever they show
They wouldn’t lie just to keep us safe
All according to plan, pieces fall in place
Jigsaw getting hard to trace
New colors, new names, see it in the face
Prisoners rising to a boil
Bury them deep in our soil
So you better stay in place, how can we save the world by doing nothing all day, this crazy way, that’s what you say
On the day they closed the world
With fire forming down below
How long can we watch the show
Till we open up the doors
The people say it’s time to go
Time to move in a single row
And say goodbye to the earthly world we’ve grown to know
What a wonderful world
Saved by paper and plastic, too fantastic
Living the dream, arms inside at all times
Find the face behind the face
No rest for the wretched
No place to stay, cause the only way
Is to stay away
Can you hunger for a touch? I feel that
I feel an itch, to speak out, to reach out
I feel it
I need to see you, see me, see the world
See my place, my place, I feel it
I want it, I want to break out of here, my life, break out from my life
There’s a future waiting for me, can you believe it? I feel it
People falling down one by one
Caught under a spell of a rising sun
Feeling like life’s only begun
There’s no need to wait, better duck and run
Our eyes tell a different tale
Stories of gloom for the frail
Up ahead is a growing sound
People up in arms, but don’t scream too loud
Fighting for what they think is right
Fighting back against an almighty might
Listen to the magical box
Tell you what your future should hold
In its funny waves, you aimlessly sway
Different story, different day, don’t dare resist the things they say
On the day they closed the world
With fire forming down below
How long can we watch the show
Till we open up the doors
Hear them cry, the people say it’s time to go
Time to move on with the show
The needy holding out for hope
Scared to break the silence long foretold
Say goodbye to the earthly world we’ve grown to know
What a wonderful world
Taken down by a little red crown
Send a little love my way, the world’s too big anyway
Listen, it’s oh so quiet, and it’s all so nice

Absolute Zero

Why don’t you open me up and see what falls out?
I guess you’d like to see me go out balls out
My reservations, you are cutting loose like a madman
Sure no one’s gonna suspect you of anything
You are the man of the hour
Your manatee holds the key to the power
I’m getting hot, is it because it’s cold in here?
You’re so underdressed, it is showing, dear
You’re like a man obsessed with feelings so repressed
You’re losing productivity
She’s got a thing for you, it won’t fit through
Trust me, I’ve tried it before
She’ll get some ice cubes and a bottle of Knack
She’ll get the Jack
Absolute zero in here
And in time you will feel the hunger
Coming for you
Underestimating wheels of torture
Second time coming strong, I feel like I do belong
To this little club you gathered us for
The talking monkey is a laugh and a half
The mystic rhythm’s gonna cut me and laugh
The man with the shovel and a glass eye for a testicle
Lines up in forays and marches to the gravel pit
Seeking new victims to pray on and dreams to prey on
Dirty fingers hunger to control the nation
You’re like a man obsessed with feelings so depressed
You’re losing conductivity
He’s got a thing for you, it won’t fit through
Just cuz I said so
He’ll get some frostbite and an hour to go
He’ll see the show
Absolute zero in here
And in time you will feel the hunger
Coming for you
Underestimating wheels of torture
I’ll see your bishop if you wanna twist my arm tonight
I’ll be your heart if you don’t wanna see me at first light
I’ll be the same thing if you wanna be my fairy kite
I’ll be your Melvin if you wanna be my true delight
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
