I'll turn a light on
And quiet my mind
Tonight
And I'll leave it burning tomorrow
A beacon of light in the fading twilight
That I hope
Will guide you on your way back home
I yearn
Oh, you let the apple fall out of your eye
When you stayed in those rooms that glow
Warm and amber
And I yearn for something to remind me
'Coz I forgot how to live and if I don't want to die
Then I must know why
The life I made
And the love I gave
Are turning into dust
I... calcify
In a life passed-by
Am I so maligned?
I remember still
So find your way back home
Or I will stray
Solve et coagula
So long ever after

Nausea
04:09
|
|
||
I feel the fever come
With the dimming of the sun
This could be the one
Where all will finally come undone
I crawl into a hole
With no thought for where it goes
And if nobody follows
At last, I'll be alone
At last I'll be alone
Under the soil
A home
I will see this all come undone
A black mask to blot out the sun
The weight of just being someone
A black mask to blot out the sun

In Rooms
01:19
|
|
||
In rooms
Where people are
Night after night
Hushed meetings in ardent light
Under vaulted ceilings
Painted white
Where whispered words
Tread heavily over thick carpets
Through corridors
Behind closed doors
In rooms
Where people are

Vessel
04:50
|
|
||
The lights of towns are going out
I know my path
And there's no going back
In the light of the moon
Like a moth to a fire
A vessel of radiant light
In the endless night
I've a feeling so peculiar tonight
And I can't explain why
Take me down to a place where
I can feel the warmth of an embrace
This endless fire drives me on
I wanna wrap my soul around it
Pull me out of a burning house
Pull me out of a burning house
I just want something to remind me

A Wish
04:42
|
|
||
Words give birth
To thoughts we can't contain
A wish from the heart
With a will that wont be changed
I seek an exit
A way out of this dream
Where I'm lost
If this is death
Then I wont mind tonight
I'll be your exit
The way out is through me
I'm looking for something that I lost
In this dream
I've walked through walls
And I have heard your siren call
Tomorrow I'll be gone
But I have what you want for tonight
I'll expire when I find
What I was looking for
So please take my hand
And I will show you to the door
I can't understand
The key that's in my hand
But I just want somethg to remind me

Sacrum
06:01
|
|
||
Through the door and down a hall
Where bodies of ex-lovers shed like snakeskins
Litter the halls
And hang from the walls
Through labyrinthine corridors
When you open your eyes
And you find that something's missing
All your love is running out
All your love is drying out
From your sacrum comes a hateful fire
Purging all that comes in a hateful fire
In a hateful fire
All your love
The last drop is gone
Take me down
Where I belong, I have nothing left
Give my bones
Back to the soil, free form the earth
Purge these things
That cling to a life I've long exited
Help me return
to the fire that I started from
Hang your heart and pray for your soul
Nothing left of your life before
Don’t lose your way
You've chosen your path
And you’ve dug your own grave
Think of this on your way down

The Ladder
01:23
|
|
||
Keep going
Keep going down
You’re almost there
You’re almost at the bottom
Don’t stop now
Why stop now?
Just keep going
You’re almost ahhh
Keep going down
You’re so close
Just keep going down
We’re so glad you could make it
We’re so glad you could join us

Reflecting Pool
04:40
|
|
||
Gazing at your navel when there's nothing left to say
Will you draw the curtain when there's no-one left to blame
You've buried all your shame and perished in the flame
Now you must take your place
In a reflecting pool
Of a viscous black oil
Black eyes stare into you
Recognise the place
Standing in your place
Doppelganger
Despair is a mirror and it's drawing nearer
Step into the centre, an inverse nirvana
Obsidian, look into its face
Now you must take your place
In a reflecting pool
Of a viscous black oil
Black eyes stare into you
Recognise the place
Standing in your place
Doppelganger
Don't look at me
Turn your eyes away
Forever curse my name
Forever in the flame

The Hermit
04:49
|
|
||
Don't stray too far
This will be over soon
Don't turn away tomorrow
This will all be over soon
Heal
Don't turn towards the light
The worst has already passed away into the night
This will be over soon
Heal
When all the light leaks out of your eyes
Find your centre in the ocean of noise
Heal

Rose Garden
05:29
|
|
||
Outside the rain begins to fall
But still remains inside these walls
Are looking out into the garden
Where the green on the grey invites their dreaming
So tired of being held up
Among the laughter, amongst the stifled crying
Oh I never promised you...
No, I never promised you
Outside the rain begins to fall
My still remains inside these walls
Are turning out into the garden
In my dream you said you'd wait for me there
No-one comes and no-one knows
Just what it feels like to live like you are dying
In a place where no-one knows your name
Left in a bathtub and thrown out with the water
Never promised you...
No, I never promised you
Never promisied you
No, I never

The Owl
02:45
|
|
||
Flew from the scorn of a lover
and found my way into another world
I flew from one to another
And swapped a cage for another thumb
To be under
Now I will be gone
Just before the dawn
Flew from the strain I was under
The pressure built underneath my skull is gone
and though I lost my way
I didn't know if I would carry on
Now I will be gone
Just before the dawn
I know life carries on
I'll fly before the dawn's light

Fire Escape
02:35
|
|
||
The lights of towns are going out
It's coming awake as I'm looking down
It took me so long to figure out
Just what this whole mess has been about
No more wading through standing water
I've been in the wars but I'm getting out
Still waters run deep but they're stirring now
It took me so long to figure out
Just what this whole mess has been about
No more wading through standing water
I feel it all come back
My body is so wracked
I will never turn my back
Again
