To Destroy
03:29
|

|
Edging on the point of desperation
No clear thought just a burning head
The lies emerging from suspension
I put trust in every word you said
If we had the time I would explain
You had no right to judge my position
Am I to accept: you marked your terrain
I'd hoped you'd show more emotion
I won't spare another minute
You've got me where you want me, I have no choice
Once there was desire, but now you've lost it
There's a change in the sound of your voice
There's a fire and a mind to destroy
Deep in the throes of yearning
Unlocking the lion's cage
Deep in the throes of yearning
Unlocking the lion's cage
There's a mind to destroy

Burnt
03:23

Don't be so cold for once in your life
You took a risk and it made your night
But the morning shows a different mind
The fog under a clear sky
And if I stayed here it would be the same
You're always quick to douse the flame
It's a shame that you can't find the time
But you don't seem to wonder why...
You can pretend that I'm an empty shell
In the end you know I won't tell
But you'll break me and be proven wrong
The secrets and mistakes that we share
The reflection is hard to bear
It scares me right through to the bones
'Cause I used to feel so alone
And then you say, you've made a mistake
So you're quick to douse the the flame
It's a shame that you can't find the time
I will pretend that I'm an empty shell
I can defend my heart from myself
It's easier than getting burnt again

Failed to Connect
04:49
|
|||
|
The bitter taste of accepting
Seeing you there with no interest
All meaning devoured after confronting
You seemed empty and heartless
I felt ashamed and abandoned
When you turned away and left
My hopes were truly flattened
Our feelings had failed to connect
I try so hard to forget
What my failing heart expects
The burning in my chest
Is convincing me
I regret having the tenacity
Finding courage in the clarity of morning light
Uncovering a silent fragility
Which you now find hard to hide
It's convincing me

Decision
03:51
|
|||
|
Buried in the endless silence
When the decision was made
I swallowed my pride in spite of patience
My plans have been laid
I had to leave at that moment
You had too much control over me
Walking out the door after you had gone
The damage has been done
The contract's torn
No reason could change my judgement
I just need the means
The product of an unhealthy experiment
For no more life in your bones
A tree falls on deaf ears
As loud as a gun
The damage has been done
But I've told no-one
(Walking out the door after you had gone)

Lamb

Lamb lost his mother
Crying and calling for her
There's silence in the field
The calls to no avail
The isolated screams
The unbearable fear of not knowing
There's a killing in the field
Blood on the wheels
Blood on the wheels
What have we done
Why don't we go back?
It was an accident, right?
There's blood on the wheels
There's tracks in the field
We're on the run now
Lamb lost his mother
Could only wait for her return
Only silence in the field
He waits to no avail
Finding a still frame
Limbs sprawled in a ditch
Face down in the mud
An unholy stench
Tyre marks point to haste
A panic and a quick escape
The force of the impact
She had no chance
She had no chance
