Vacant Windows

When the fantasy decays

The sunlight feels deranged

When the colors start to drain

It's the pain the pain the pain

When all the world's in vain

The ceiling starts to sway

Everybody moves in frames

It's the pain the pain the pain

Don't know me… Anymore…

How long?

Crawl and take your time

Blister in your eye..

Slow dance

No names

While the mirror cries..

When the fantasy escapes

and the night time feels this safe

The colors melt away 

It's the pain the pain the pain

The shadows separate

The feeling starts to fray

Everybody looks…

Heavy thoughts to keep me low

They try to take me over

I know a lonesome road…

Dark ideas that eat me whole

Until it boils over

I know, I know, I know..

CHORUS:

Tied to the garden

I hear it calling my name

Fall straight through the bottom

I can't wait

You can try.. 

All you like.. 

I'll get numb just one last time

I'd be wrong to bleed alone

You can cry

Make it loud

It's a thorny lullaby

But we'll not be here for long

Heavy sigh to keep below

Try to keep me sober

I know, I act alone

Still there's comfort in the spoiled

And the…

Letting you go out of my mind..

Much easier dead in this sleepless crowd

Letting you have all of my time..

I'm easily bled and you know how

CHORUS:

I lied to ya

Goodbye to trust

So long to lovers

Farewell to us

You want a love that's perfect

I want a love that scars

Even if on the surface, there's a train coming

I want a love that's burning

You just want to dance around

All of the snakes and serpents..

Lurking beneath this town

Letting me go out of your mind..

Much easier said but do you know how?

Letting you have all of…

Out of hunger..

You say forever, it's pulling you under

You only think you're in love…

You only think you're in love…

You don't consider your body's yearning

You only think you're in love…

How do you say it? Heart's on the table. Alone with fervor

Why do you fake it?  Your cheeks are burning..

Out of craving

You play devotion, it's so entertaining

You only think you're in love…

You only think you're in love…

Is it just because your heart is racing?

You only think you're in love…

<Break>

What are you saying? Heart's on the…

 Lies, feel them cut into you.

Cry, like you're something special. 

Time, as they tighten the noose.. 

Slips by, like a distant echo

You got me running got me running hot

I'm bowling over under obscene colored skies

And all along I'm tangled in your plot

Like you're the spider and I've just been paralyzed

CHORUS:

This is the light

The flame is going out

This is the only thing we should really care about

This isn't right

The truth is paramount

This is the only thing we should really care about

The ship is leaving on my…

Every time that the mask goes on, a silver tongue twists the knife

Every promise just strings me along, tell me now is this real life?

CHORUS:

Feed me a Line

Make it Bite

Feed me a Lie

Big as Life

Every promise another open grave, every saint.. a serpent's spine

Every sermon is a masquerade, how'd we miss the warning signs? 

BREAK:

I was loyal before I knew the truth.. I was blind

You can wrestle, the ghost of what we knew.. I've got time

CHORUS:

Feed me a Line

Make it Bite

Feed me a Lie

Big as Life

Retrograde

Under his eye

Let it burn

Watch it die

Cast your vote

Waste your time

Please remain

Pacified

CHORUS:

I absolutely can't abide

I'll plant my feet I won't comply

I pledge my health not just my time

I absolutely till I die

Had a lot of time to think about this..

Ain't a lot of ways to justify

Blessed be the dirt that's been made public

Still we act like it's been dramatized

CHORUS:

I absolutely can't abide

I'll raise my voice I won't comply

I pledge my body and my time

I absolutely till I die

Spoken Word

Before mass…

We're alone

Something rare

You whisper low

So unclear

Now I know

Your Subtle ways

The undertones

Draw me near

Chorus:

Give me a sign

Throw me a line

I just want, to come in closer

All of us know

True love's a lie

I just want, to come in closer

I'm undone

in your gaze

A fleeting sign?

Or my mistake?

Every glance

Feels like a dare

The quiet edge

Brings me near

How long can I drown in the echoes of this love sick lullaby?

I know that you think we’re undeserving, but the stars can still align

Chorus:

Give me a sign

Throw me a line

I…

The closer I see

You're lost in silence

All I need to know

Is there in your eyes

You always want more..

With a touch of violence

Only ask once

I comply

CHORUS:

Honey

Anything you'd like

Forty scars worn

On your skin

Every caress

Tattooed

Feeling alone?

Bored as sin?

Wanna get down?

I got you

CHORUS:

Honey

Anything you'd like

Bridge:

How many times have I failed to say I love you? I love you

How many times will you fold your heart away?

How many nights have I lied awake beside you? Beside you.

How many nights can you hold your…

What's life, when you roam the night?

You aught to think it over..

Oh sweet momentary life…

If you survive

You'll only come out stronger

Holding on to cosmic pain

All in all you can't complain, you're all right

Hold me tight I'll fade away

Fold into another day of your life..

And what's life, when you want to die?

It only brings us closer

Oh sweet cemetery life..

If you crack a smile

You're gonna blow your cover

Then it's over..

Holding on to cosmic pain

Phantom limbs and cheap Champaign, you're all right..

Faithfully…
