Illusion of Saftey » Slová [+ Pridať +] |
1. _ where idols once stood
our idols lay in ruins.
we'd have saved them if we could, but we till choose to worship
the places where our idols stood.
still believing they can save us,
i'ev lievd this way to long to turn back now.
presuppositions set in stone, this coffin sealed by my own pride,
and though it seems the sun will shine,
I'll draw the shades and stay inside.
if we've learned anythign at all,
it's that the ghosts of idols will do just as well.
we all see what we want to anyway.
some things are better left unsaid.
you know what's at stake; some things are better left unsaid.
as long as we keep it in textsbooks, then we'll be untouchable.
we hate to lie to children
but after all, it's all for their own good.

2. _ in years to come
I want to take the bullet, the one aimed straight for your heart.
i want to meet the wolves halfway, and let them tear me apart.
but thats not the way they do it here.
i want to lay on the tracks, feel hot steel screaming at me.
expose the bones on my back, let me show you what I mean.
yeah, its a different kind of love.
i want to climb barbed wire fences and wamr our hands in blood.
and this is my gift, asking you to fix my ruined hands.
and it's a gift that keeps on giving, and right now it's all I have to give.
i want to write the perfect song, and play it just for you
while you're tangled up in sleep.
i need you more than I'll ever know.
untill i stop breathing, my lungs will take you for granted.

3. _ a subtle dagger
it infiltrates, insidious. it feints at love, betrays our trust
in what we've known since we were born,
the truth we've found in all we see points to design,
still our chests swell.
we'll never find true answers from a wishing well.
so feed us all another lie, to still our thoughts,
appease our pride, so we won't have to change the way
we see, we live, we love, we die.
our luts precede, our blasphemy.
our logic reads like notes from tainted autopsy.
our souls they speak of something more,
but we can't look beyond ourselves.
we implore empty skies because o hearts hold room
for no one else.
we extend our claws to grasp at shadows of the ideals we have lost,
casualties of a subtle dagger,
buried to the hild in our heart,
blood on our hands.

4. _ deadbolt
when deadbolts awake you from deja yu dreams.
at four in the morning you'll know whee i'll be.
ou running red lights asleep at the wheel.
the sirens feed my nightmares.
I just close my eyes, and I'm already here.
it's already to late, i know it's nothing but lies,
but they sound so sincere.
i find them too hard, i find them to hard to hate.
and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
so let's drink in the darkness if you know what I mean."
and i'm almost sure that i've been here before,
this is not the first time i've stood in front of this door,
with an overwhelming feeling that i shouldn't go in,
but it seems this is a battle that I never cold win.
and you, my true love. you call form the hill top.
you call through the streets,
"darling don't you know, the water is poison."
and I say,
"come on and give me my poison."
what have I done? is it too late to save me from this place,
from the depths of the grave?
we all are those who thought we were brave.
what have I done?

5. _ kill me quickly
can we,
can we kill eachother quickly,
quick enough so I won't feel it?
a shot of stobe light anesthesia and I'll be fine
'cause I'm starting to feel cold.
my hands are shaking from fear,
white from clutching my pride, red from cutting you
and blue from telling lies.
'cause I'm sick of the stabbing, i'm sick of the breaking
i'm sick of the bleeding untill we fall down.
sick of this circle of death that we dance through again
and again, just lay me in the ground
let's fall asleep together, hold me darling 'cause I'm scared,
and I can't do this alone.
but I need your heartbeat to haunt me, your cold lips to breathe,
a promise that tomorrow we'll wake up somewhere new.

6. _ the red death
entertain the hope that somehow you'll escape me.
weld the bolts and close the iron gate.
drink deeply the illusion of your saftey.
my how wishful thoughts inebriate. masquerade,
and revel in your opulence.
writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance.
swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy.
a dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe.
remember me? you look so suprised to see me here.
with hell's black wings did I o'erperch these walls,
for stony limits cannot hold me out.
and now you all die.

7. _ betrayal is a symptom
faith.
is not something that I grasp. it's somethign that I fake,
as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks.
faith,
without action is a mask, for making same mistakes
as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks.
but somehow I find beauty in our failings,
somehow I find meaning in this life,
somehowI made perfect in this fracture,
your back is begging sweetly for my knives.
I'm spilling blood. glancing down to hide my face.
i walk with eyes closed tight through monuments of grace.
my faith is a front, i'm spilling blood.
isn't it sweet how i'm trusted with angels and how quickly i break my promises.
isn't it sweet?

8. _ see you in the shallows
i hear the waves crash far below;
the rocks are leaping for the sky.
they're starving for the air, for a bone to break,
a dream to smash apart, but I don't care.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving.
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving.
they float face down they all look so content.
I don't know why I'm even here;
guess I'm afraid to be alone
and down below I see my crew they look okay that can't be blood
the water here is far to blue.
and gravity seems far away, but I can hear her call my name.
it's so comforting to know I'll never have to thinkg again.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving.
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving.
we float face down but don't we all look so content.

9. _ trust
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right.
yeah the margin of error is slight.
mic the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right.
yeah you know that you could save my life.
(there is a risk, there's a risk when you're dealing with love.)
you could snap my neck.
(any speed you drive can be dangerous)
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right.
yeah you know there's a fine line between.
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right.
'cause i know what betrayal can mean.
when this fram dails me, will i trust you to carry me through?
I know there's no such thing as saftey, but I know what a promise can do.
will i trust you; will i trust you to caryr me through?
i will trust you, 'cause I know what a promise can do.

10. _ To Awake and Avenge the Dead
old friend they told me you were dead
the news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
your love was
ravished drawn and quartered,
the soil was swift to drink her blood.
this violence in the name of love!
but i still feel you,
despite your tombstone,
but i still feel you,
despite your tombstone,
so friend you must still walk among us,
in places we don't dare to glance
i saw you killing Aristotle
but i know its all part of the plan.
old friend they told me you were dead
the news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
your love was
ravished drawn and quartered,
the soil was swift to drink her blood.
this violence in the name of love!
old friend they told me you were dead
the news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
your love was
ravished drawn and quartered,
the soil was swift to drink her blood.
this violence, this violence, this violence in the name of love!
TO..AWAKE..AND, .. AVENGE THE DEAD!
TO..AWAKE..AND, .. AVENGE THE DEAD!

11. _ So Strange I Remember You
So Strange I Remember You in protest of a prayer,
and falling back from seas we fear to sail
i swear i saw the shooter, gold deep and double dare,
postmortem warnings seem inclined to fail,
feigning an apology.
those words they never left your lips,
those 5 years in Bermuda slide by like the lights of passing ships,
So Strange that I Remember You,
kneeling deep in Nietzsche's lies
my throat was an open grave i drank your stained glass eyes
and they taste like dead cathedrals
that are crumbling beneath a weight ten thousand jaded tourists
who've traded in their hearts and hands for
disposable cameras, set to document to decay
set to capture just enough of life to catalogue the things we throw away
(whispered)
(breathing the fumes of our machines)
we've lost our way-Dustin sings
( breathing through television dreams)-whispered
if we could only see us now
if we could only see us now
the words of the dead ring in our ears
but its only a lie
the voice in your head brings you to tears
but you don't know why
the words of the dead ring in our ears
but its only a lie
the voice in your head brings you to tears
but its only a lie,
yes its only a lie,
...isn't it?

12. _ The Beltsville Crucible
True friends stab you in the front
keep you from getting what you want
when one more fix could kill you
they help you realize that
you're more and less than you first had believed
you've so much to give and there's so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn,
all that's gold does not all shine...
and helping words aren't always kind,
when one more kiss could kill you,
they help you realize that
you're more and less than you first had believed
you've so much to give and there's so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn.
.how to let my guard down
accept the fire that has spread among us.
and if you're feeling all right,
you've got to play it again,
you've got to play it again.

13. _ a living dance upon dead minds
love everywhere,
exploding, maims and blinds.
a living dance upon dead minds.
but surely does not forget (perish)
sleep cannot be photographed (measured)
disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains.
why it's love; but at the earliest spear of sun
perfectly should disappear.
who wields a poem huger than the grave?
