THE PACKAGE
clever got me this far then tricky got me in eye on what i'm after
I don't need another friend smile and drop the cliche
'till you think im listening I take just what i came for then im out the door again
peripheral on the package don't care to settle in
time to feed the monster I don't need another friend
comfort is a mystery crawling out of my own skin
just give me what i came for, then i'm out the door again
lie to get what i came for lie to get just what i need
lie to get what i crave lie and smile to get what's mine
eye on what im after I don't need another friend
nod and watch your lips move if you need me to pretend
because clever got me this far then tricky got me in
I'll take just what i came for then im out the door again
lie to get what I came for lie to get what I need now
lie to get what I'm craving lie and smile to get what's mine
give this to me mine, mine, mine take what's mine
mine, mine, mine take what's mine mine, mine, mine
lie to get what I came for lie to get what I need now
lie to get what I'm craving lie to smile and get what's mine
give this to me take what's mine mine, mine, mine
take what's mine give this to me
take what's mine, take what's mine, mine...
take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine,
this is mine, mine, mine (whispered)
WEAK AND POWERLESS
tillin' my own grave to keep me level
jam another dragon down that hole
diggin' to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
one that pushes me along and leaves me so
desperate and ravenous so weak and powerless over you
someone feed the monkey while i dig in search of china
white as dracula as I approach the bottom
desperate and ravenous so weak and powerless over you
little angel go away come again some other day
devil has my ear today Ill never hear a word you say
you promised i would find a little solace and some piece of mind
whatever just as long as i dont feel so
desperate and ravenous so weak and powerless
desperate and ravenous so weak and powerless over over you
THE NOOSE
so glad to see you well overcome and completely silent now
with heavens help you cast your demons out
and not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you off your cloud
but I'm more than just curious
how you're planning to go about
making your amends to the dead ... to the dead
recall the deeds as if they're all someone elses atrocious stories
now you stand reborn before us all so glad to see you well
and not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you to the ground
but I'm more than just curious
how you're planning to go about
making your amends to the dead ... to the dead
with your halo slipping down your halo's slipping
your halo's slipping down your halo's slipping down
your halo's slipping down (repeated)
your halo's slipping down to choke you now
BLUE
I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know
best to keep things in the shallow end
cause I never quite learned how to swim
I just didn't want to know didn't want, didn't want, didn't want, didn't want
close my eyes just to look at you
taken by the seamless vision I close my eyes, ignore the smoke, ignore the smoke
call it aftermath, she's turning blue such a lovely color for you
call it aftermath, she's turning blue while I just sit and stare at you
because I don't want to know I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know I just didn't want
mistook their nods for an approval
just ignore the smoke and smile
call it aftermath, she's turning blue
such a lovely color for you
call it aftermath, she's turning blue
such a perfect color for your eyes
call it aftermath, she's turning blue
such a lovely color for you
call it aftermath, she's turning blue
while I just sit and stare at you
I don't want to know
VANISHING
disappear disappear higher higher into the air slowly disappear no, no longer here
disappear disappear thinner, thinner into the air never really here wasn't ever
like a thought brushing up against a sign floating away floating away(repeated)
vanishing like a cyan sunday disappear disappear
vanish, vanish into the air slowly disappear never really here
floating away floating away(repeated)
A STRANGER
cast the calming apple up and over satelites to draw out the timid wild one
to convince you it's alright and I listen for the whisper
of your sweet insanity while I formulate denials of your affect on me
you're a stranger so what do i care you vanish today not the first time I hear
all the lies what am I to do with all this silence
shy away, shy away phantom run away terrified child
won't you move away you you fuckin tornado I'm better off without tearing my will down
THE OUTSIDER
help me if you can adjust to this is not the way I'm wired
so could you please, help me understand why you've given in to all these
reckless dark desires you're lying to yourself again
suicidal imbecile think about it, put it on the faultline
what'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
such a mess, why would i wanna watch you
disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
what's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb beligerance
narcisistic, drama queen, craving fame and all this decadence
lying through your teeth again suicidal imbecile
think about it, put it on the fautline
what'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
such a mess, why would i wanna watch you
disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
what's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
they were right about you they were right about you
lying to my face again suicidal imbecile think about it, put it on the fautline
what'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this , why do you wanna throw it away like this
such a mess, over this, over this disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
what's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
if you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
do it somewhere far away from here
CRIMES

THE NURSE WHO LOVED ME (FAILURE COVER)
say hello to the rug's topography it holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
say hello to the shrinking in your head you can't see it but you know it's
there so don't neglect it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
she's got everything I need pharmacy keys
she's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
she acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
say hello to all the apples on the ground they were once in your eyes
but you sneezed them out while sleeping say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
she's got everything I need some pills and a little cup
she's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes she acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
PET

GRAVITY
lost again broken and weary unable to find my way tail in hand
dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live
I fell again like a baby unable to stand on my own tail in hand
dizzy and clearly unable to just this go
high and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun help me survive the bottom
calm these hands before they snare another pill and
drive another nail down another needy hole please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live
