like I’m consigned to the ocean I have never been so alone lost my grip on a melting ground the hell is near, can see it through my toes I like that, it’s like a friend like a bloody friend coming through my veins now they’re dancing on the ashes on the ashes of a thing once called life isolated, annihilated what’s been left besides the fact that I’m alive? still like a friend tell me something to believe in that the end is near my friend

he’s laying there numb the new year started well the same rat race, on and on time and tide wait for no man and you still exert yourself for things like that? now he’s waiting, empty hands gather himself, anchors aweigh then it all comes crashing down and afterwards they say “I knew this right away” the guns are smoking all his wad is shot a miss is as good as a mile but half a loaf is better than none all these things that should be said if this glance could speak this situation seems so plain smiling at the devil’s face and when the heads hit the ground everything starts again

forests of virginia (free) 02:10
all my life I wanted to drink from the fountain of love to wipe out all feelings I’ve got every time I express something that I feel something else withers away who’s afraid of Virginia Wolf? who’s afraid of the big bad? all my love I wanted to drink from the fountain of life to get rid of this pain in my guts you mirror everything I hate about myself and the coldness in this world but it’s the viewer that makes the image there’s a thirst you can’t satisfy the more you drink, the more you want and in the end there’s nothing else who’s afraid of the abyss?

faust (free) 03:17
all theory, dear friend, is gray but the tree of life springs ever green and everything makes sense when a spark brings the end whatever we’ve been through we’ve never been to that place where real wild flowers bloom we’ve never been to that place no one has ever seen things like that I thought I could if I close my eyes what issues from the heart alone will bend the hearts of others to your own and everything makes sense when the heart breaks don’t know when we’ll see that we were not right, not wise, not clear, not free because we’ll never be
5.
travel by train (free) 03:04
this place is my home at least that’s what I’m told you know what they say about the devil and the hindmost a cat gone missing a tiger on the station square the surge hits me like a stroke but the train takes it away where’s the heart, there’s home so never follow or surrender but I don’t know if I have one the only thing that lasts forever the delusion of the lost and found this place is my curse at least that’s how it feels there’s an ocean behind the eyes but no one’s ever seen and if I’d pour out my heart I’d wonder if you’d care at all every shining star faded away and artful cats don’t come back
6.
who are we (free) 04:33
future, present, past the world is melting away the crop can’t satisfy the hunger the pills can’t kill the aching pain do you think you really know what it means to be free? when you just take and never give freedom’s just an empty shell the bomb in my head, ready to explode all the wars I waged, I fought against myself the light of cathode rays, a flickering glow that lines the path for the living dead minds torn into a million pieces when you grasp and start to know this cell may be so warm and safe but I don’t want to die alone who are we to spread this disease? this is our self-defeat

hold on morissey (free) 03:37
the DJ said, make a sound when there’s none we want a life between the cry and the eyes shut down but we can’t drink up or sing away this hole inside our chests or the pain this walk and this posture made us shake with laughter and if there’s ever been a god of the sun with every passing day I recall the tune of the last day and if there’s ever really been, then he’s gone the marshal said, see a light when there’s none all we want is company on our way home but we can’t back off or run away in the very end but I’ve made a friend like I’ll never make again this tune resounds everywhere we go, everywhere we are
8.
never wanted to harm anyone but with the back against the wall all the best falls overboard never wanted to let anyone down but when the heart aches for more there seems to be just one way out out of place, out of time, out of mind out of this, out of here but there’s more that unites than separates because we refuse to suffer from twists of fate and when our heartbeats are in time we might get a chance when you gather everything within yourself beneath these layers of tears and hate there seems to be just one way out no one needs to apologize for his tears no one needs to apologize for her fears swallow a mine destroy everything inside as if wrong heroism wasn’t wrong enough but when you gather everything that’s left beneath the wreckage of your counterfeit there seems to be just one way out and those who don’t move don’t feel
9.
a drop in the ocean, day in matter in motion, day out dim memories, repetition included the good things just flash by always treading on the same ground the daily grind leaves you numb neon lights blind your eyes something I must figure out every track that you have left time washes it away every move that you make fades away with the day shaking strongholds, day in the same story retold, day out soak up their ideals, swallow and puke them over your life always treading on the same ground close your eyes, fold your hands and wait for better times something I must figure out let’s say what needs to be said let’s reveal the great fake let’s sing all our songs with honesty

room with a view (free) 04:33
if it wasn’t hard enough to be alone when everything within you aches for home don’t know when we turned jet black and stone cold loved ones turn into ghosts first they’re dreary, then become clear and when you can see through their bodies, their hearts a big fat lie appears if it wasn’t hard enough just to be in love when you’re born, live and die lonesome my head’s a time bomb, my heart’s made of stone and a woollen hat won’t make you feel at home the echo of a tune trails away so uselessly beautiful maybe I should pack up my tracks and leave this place but it’s freaking cold it’s freaking cold these footprints in the sand leave a bad taste in my mind and it’s cold the echo of desolation wakes me up memories buzzing around the room maybe I should get out of bed and leave my head but it’s freaking cold
11.
back home (free) 03:01
life passes me like a river and I feel like a stone a bloody nose dogs fighting over a bone thrown into this turmoil all thought seems error prone leaving nights unsound I get myself out of line and I see it all melting away this urge comes through all pores runs through all veins can’t take the bait scattered bits of hate my mind in the hourglass another grain of sand thoughts left astray and when there’s nothing left but the sea all my thoughts carved in wood I’ll be a boat, I’ll be all hopes gather all that we forgot and start to float carry those who are alone through the storm back home
