You'll get used to this
And there'll be no need to cry
And you'll build walls around yourself so tall that nobody'll dare to climb
It's not just you who hurts
You're not the only one
And there'll be much more pain and worse in store
Before you get anything done
And all those friends you can count on
To always have your back
They'll give you up without a second question
You can believe in that
Because everyone's gonna let you down
And so we build it bigger
See how far we spread
See us feast ourselves on self-importance
See all the gold we spend
Come join us at the table
Not that you have a choice
Enjoy the taste of imminent extinction
Now just don't you make any noise
Everybody's happy
No problems anymore
No more complaints, only communication
Now that we're all an afterthought
Everyone's gonna let you down

Four Walls
03:11
|

|
I, going nowhere
Four walls for company
Gaze ever longer
Into this world made just for me
I could watch this train-wreck forever
As it drains all resistance out of me
There's nothing stopping me now
I'll be wherever you go
There's nothing slowing me down
I know whatever you know
You've never needed me more
I'm everything that you are
You're never letting me go
You're nothing without me now
Please won't you save me
From my mind which I despise
Reach deep within me
I am yours to pacify
I could sit here aimless forever
As you dig for gold inside of me
There's nothing stopping me now
I'll be wherever you go
There's nothing slowing me down
I know whatever you know
You've never needed me more
I'm everything that you are
You're never letting me go
You're nothing without me now

O My Darling
04:19
|
|||
|
Alone in the midnight crowd again
A heaving sea of right now let it never end
Thinking I'll be leaving soon
Suddenly something across the room
I feel your eyes call
White light blankets the wall
Where our shadows first met
And we touched in silhouette
Eyes, wide as the sky
Watching you move like you do
Could this be true?
Or am I just blind all the time?
Oh my darling
Back of a cab deep in the night
Where your eagerness meets mine
Until I finally get you home
Where you dance to The Rolling Stones
And I, I could just die
Watching you move like you do
Could this be true?
Or am I just blind all the time?
Oh my darling
But morning light
Like a raging fire
That burns all memory of you away
Lose my mind watching you
Move like you do
Could this be true?
Or am I just blind?
Oh nevermind
Surely you can see through
All my bad news
Watch me, I'm just blind all the time
Oh my darling

If I Can’t Make You Mine
04:30
|
|||
|
In your home when you feel at your safest
In your thoughts you keep to yourself, alone
I am there I am patiently listening
I follow you wherever you go
I am truth I am lies that you tell yourself
You can trust in my every word
I need not your permission or your promises
Only know I can make you hurt
If I can’t make you mine
You’ll be easily swept aside
If I can’t make you mine
When you finally piece it all together
That I can’t be trusted or seen at all
An apparition is all that will become of me
Some thing you wish you hadn’t wished for
And while I’m buried here
In the tomb of your memory
Watching you as your life unfolds
I spread my roots in the soil of your history
And your future here is where I make my home
And if I can’t make you mine
I’ll make those that you love comply
If I can’t make you mine
I’ll rip all of the joy from life
If I can’t make you mine
I’ll settle for terrified
If I can’t make you mine
Yeah you’ll leave every light on at night
I’ve lied to you before
And I’ll lie to you again

Dead Already
05:59
|
|||
|
Nothing’s ever gonna change
Tell your children they won’t be saved
The cries are many and they’re all the same
We’re dead already
All the world aflame
Digging deep into the earth
We exhumed the life of former worlds
To grow forever we made it burn
The sacred is of no concern
And as to ash the future fades
Sacrificed to lies and waste
An endless summer for the end of days
We now look backwards and go retrograde

Eyes
03:39
|
|||
|
An endless void of cruelty fear and lies
This is the colour of my true love’s eyes
And I’d give anything to hear him cry
Cry my name as he sets my world on fire
Nobody from a go-nowhere town
I was lost but in him I am found
Such a fool to put his trust in me now
Eyes wide open as he spits into my mouth
And every night I gather helpless in his thighs
Crawling through his chest to a hole where I can hide
Reaching for his wrist and a shiny knife
Now I wish the world could see the fear in his eyes

Our Mother The Mountain
05:10
|
|||
|
My lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom
The moon's dancing purple
All through her black hair
And her lady’s in waiting she’ll stand 'neath my window
And the sun will rise soon
On the false and the fair
Sing a-to Lorelai-oh
She tells me she comes from our mother the mountain
Her skin fits her tightly
And her lips do not lie
She silently slips from her throat a medallion
Slowly she twirls it
In front of my eyes
Sing a-to Lorelai-oh
I watch her, I love her, I long for to touch her
The satin she's wearing
Is shimmering blue
Outside my window her ladies are sleeping
My dogs have gone hunting
Their howling is through
Sing a-to Lorelai-oh
So I reach for her hand but her eyes turn to poison
And her hair turns to splinters
And her flesh turns to brine
She leaps across the room, she stands in the window
And screams that my first-born
Will surely be blind
Sing a-to Lorelai-oh
Then she throws herself out to the black of the nightfall
She's parted her lips
But she makes not a sound
I fly down the stairway, and I run to the garden
No trace of my true love
Is there to be found
Sing a-to Lorelai-oh
So walk these hills lightly and watch who you're loving
By our mother the mountain
I swear that it's true
And love not a woman with hair black as midnight
And a dress made of satin
All shimmering blue
Sing a-to Lorelai-oh
My lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom
The moon's dancing purple all through her black hair
And her lady's in waiting, she'll stand 'neath my window
And the sun will rise soon on the false and the fair

Knight Of Cups
03:44
|

|
Once upon a time
Or maybe twice, or maybe more
You sang your song to me
Always after midnight
With a whisper and a will
To bring me to my knees
And oh how you were charming
With all your rosy words
So full of vision
Of the future, you and me
And all that we’d become
And being aptly wooed and thus subdued
I will admit
I offered myself up
Such flattering affection
And promises you made
And I, a fool, believed you
Every time you’d say
That I will wait forever
I will wait for you
But ultimately words and nothing more were all they were
And none were worth a damn
And off so breezily you rode
Into someone else’s arms
To sing your song again
It goes like
I will wait forever
I will wait for you
And onward you are riding
Singing all your songs
For your audience
Of one

She takes a trip to the store
She’s gonna need some supplies
She buys an axe and a shovel
And a couple rolls of duct tape
And a bottle of wine
She’s gonna leave here with splinters
There’ll be dirt under her nails
But even deeper nobody will believe
All of the things that she’s got buried away
And all who caused her pain were never seen again
When she was young she liked dancing
And getting lost in the woods
She was no different to any other
She had a mother and her mother was good
She got a little bit older
She opened up to the world
And she was met with a cruelty and corruption
That weaved into the fabric of her
She is ready to find you
She thinks that you will do fine
She’s got a spot in the woods somewhere quiet
And she would like you to come visit sometime
Under a curtain of lashes
Her pupils dilate
It’s her attention to detail and her patience
They’re the things that she most appreciates
And all who caused her pain were never seen again

Summer’s Coming
04:25
|
|||
|
Mother mourning for the world
All she’s felt and seen and heard
Made to feel a useless girl
But one day soon man she’ll get hers
She said now that summer’s coming I could care less
About all you motherfuckers you deserve what you get
A hundred thousand diamonds in a crown on my head
Watch the life leaving your eyes with both my hands round your neck
Mother lives inside her dreams
Where she rules by any means
Mass starvations, killing sprees
All you people on your knees
She said now that summer’s coming I could care less
About all you motherfuckers you deserve what you get
With each extinction thinking god I hope that you’re next
I see red, I see forever
I see nothing I’ll miss
Mother wants to end it all
For these frauds and criminals
Who’d sell her children’s future for
A fleeting chance to feel adored
She said now that summer’s coming I could care less
About all you motherfuckers you deserve what you get
Keep the engine humming, heading over the cliff
Please take everybody with you when you come to an end

You gotta love a band whose members weren't alive when you were young and somehow create music that takes you back to your youth (except I was never this cool). Gotta get back to Oz and see these "kids" perform live.
