LYRICS
01 SILENCE BROKEN
Careless whispers drifting by the ears,
trust in no one, silence broken by careless whispers
You’ve got a lot to say, but I’m not listening,
and I’ve got a lot to say, that your ears are not hearing
Back and forth how much time can we waste? Hold your tongue and swallow hard,
How much more can we take? So who are you? Who am I? Who are you?
What have we become?
Careless whispers drifting by the ears,
trust in no one, silence broken by careless whispers
You’ve got a lot to learn, so are you listening now, now?, now?
now the word is out
It’s written on everyone’s face, hold your tongue and swallow hard
so how does the truth taste
Or weren’t you listening, trust in no one, no one.
02 ALL THAT’S LEFT BEHIND
For what it’s worth, I never felt that much
an unresolved waste of time a lesson never learned
Wanted to forget it, but it’s hard when you’ve been burned,
a matter of time till your lost insides
Are reassured to start indulging like there’s nothing left behind your pretty face and it’s all that you’ve got now
No it wasn’t much, it was nothing but it left you wanting more,
and it’s all that you’ve got now
Can sometimes get lost in the feelings that don’t exist,
addiction is a cancer and a means to justify
An empty life of running from the friends you’ve left behind,
just a matter of time till your dark insides
Are reassured to start indulging like there’s nothing left to hide your pretty face and it’s all that you’ve got now
No it wasn’t much it was nothing but it left you wanting more
and it’s all that you’ve got now
The mechanics of guilty eyes, being tempted is in our make up,
when indulgences collide
Come and sleep with me tonight, when it’s all that you’ve got now,
but it wasn’t much it was nothing
But it left you wanting more and it’s all that you’ve got now, it wasn’t much
03 IDENTITY THEFT
Am I lying to myself when everyone else here sees right through me
and all the products they’ve sold me
I let them own me now don’t I feel like such a man,
but I’ll hide my guilt and no regrets
Smoke a thousand cigarettes and slowly tear myself apart until
suddenly I’m in the middle of the part I love
There’s no rest for these feelings and I have had enough time to think
There are several different ways to waste our time here,
mine will be the one that digs my grave
But anyway I can see for miles and miles,
troubled are the few who reach for the stars
And I don’t even know where the hell we are,
but honestly I’m starting to think that I’m lost
Like suddenly I’m in the middle of the part I love,
there’s no rest for these feelings and I have had enough time to think
So don’t shoot me full of your lies, I know the profit song,
it moves the bones till round and round we go
Can cite examples why I’m right, I don’t look the same,
I can barely tell myself apart, like suddenly I’m in
The middle of the part I love, there’s no rest for these feelings,
and I think that enough is enough
So don’t tell me the same stories, I’ve heard them all before,
there’s no telling what you’re selling
But I don’t want it anymore, you think you’ve got it all,
but you don’t have what we’re looking for
04 THE LAST SCENE
Is something wrong out of lines to keep the rats distracted,
a hollow shell, habit trail, symptoms of getting older
But I’m not searching for the answers,
I know there are no answers here so I’m letting it go
And on we roll, through the stars
and slowly we’re learning we’ve all been patrons for too long
So turn your head look away, and Hollywood’s burning,
but I’ve got a part in the last scene, they saved it just for me
A shot rings out but no one cares citizens keep their distance
while the politics of self control
Massage our cruel temptations,
but I’m not searching for redemption I know I’m lost in confusion here
And I’m letting it go, yet on we roll through the stars and slowly we’re learning we’ve all been patient for too long
So turn your heads, look away and Hollywood’s burning,
but I’ve got a part in the last scene they saved it just for me
How’s it my heart couldn’t stand up to your gods,
couldn’t reach enlightenment, couldn’t touch the sky
Why have we got this all wrong, white and blue collar clones, we’re hardly alone
When we walk the same and talk the same and I would give you anything but you’re asking too much from me
And carelessly you’re slowly hailing to the thieves of our system down
no one made a sound
And on it rolls the title track, slowly we’re learning,
we’ve all been victims for too long
So turn your heads look away and Washington’s burning,
but I’ve got a part in the yeah I’ve got a part
In the last scene, the last scene
05 DEAD SENTINELS
Now I’m standing on my own again,
what a feeling to let go of something blood from the vein
Keeps me captive here and ashamed,
I’m on the wire losing sight of what I once truly desired
And I don’t know, why I even try when my sheltered heart lives a lie
Now I’m dancing on my own two feet,
what a feeling, to be let down denied the controls
All the tension has taken it’s toll,
I, I’m on fire losing sight of what I once truly deserved
And I don’t know why I even try when my sheltered heart lives a lie,
I’m living a lie, I’m leaving your lives
Hide from the clones all the sentences have gone cold, talk it gets cheap,
turn the volume down
And laugh yourself to sleep and I don’t know why I even try
when my sheltered heart lives a lie
I’m cutting all ties from leading your life, lies
06 SAILS
Citizens of a starless sky have stolen the sun and held it for ransom,
an endless greed unsatisfied
Can see the blood on their hands does more than just feed them,
it’s there for a reason because for all we know
All this is just a dream, things are not exactly as they seem,
save time to sit back and have a drink
Another man might just believe what he’s told,
I’m on my way to being bought and sold, can’t wait to measure
My blood out in gold and platinum sales, so drink the ocean(wine), drink it down
The past is far gone replaced by this moment,
we’re shadows of ourselves confined to shelves with nothing left to say
Content to fade away and for all we know,
all this is just a dream things are not exactly as they seem
Save time to sit back and have a drink,
forgetting is easy without any soul with each empty promise it keeps getting old
Learning to measure my blood out in gold and platinum sales,
or have I just failed, lost sight of the trail
If all this is just a dream things might not be quite as bad as they seem,
I’d probably sit back and have a drink
Another man might just believe what he’s told,
but I’m on my way to being bought and sold
Can see them setting their sales for the gold and platinum skies
07 VANISHING ACT
…
08 THE POWER OF SUGGESTION
All eyes on the system placed before you, no time for an explanation,
deceitful how we dance in these circles
And if you listen close enough,
doesn’t it feel like a broken record slicing through the skin
This sound has been overplayed and overrated,
but the dance sure takes a long time don’t it
We go round and round
forget the heart the light the scene the stage the sound
You know we’re all on display
I guess the powers that be will see it’s time to make a decision
And if you listen close enough,
doesn’t it feel like a broken record slicing through the skin
This sound has been overplayed and overrated
do I exist to satisfy you or satisfy nothing
I’m right here and
I’m hoping to be something that means something to somebody at all
But it’s the same old song and dance with the same results,
it’s the same old song, it’s the same old song s.o.s.
And doesn’t it feel like a broken record, a broken record,
I exist to satisfy you or satisfy nothing
Fear steers progress, but
right now I’m hoping to be something that means something to somebody at all
But it’s the same old song
09 WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY
Focusing myself, finding clues in you and everyone else, we’re hearts on a shelf
Believing that we’re saved
sometimes these things aren’t really supposed to work out this way
What can you say
when finally there’s no time like the moment to shine right through
I’m starting to understand what they mean when they say this is going to hurt
I am still laughing at myself suspicious visions blame it all on somebody else cause I can’t be held
Responsible for fate,
write down these words I can’t understand what I create it may be too late
When finally there’s no time like the moment to shine right through
I’m starting to understand
What they mean when they say this is going to hurt,
so if I’m asking the wrong questions
Could you point me the right way?
Because what I’ve been searching for is something real, well defined
With a Buddhas heart and Nostradamus’s thorn in my side
let the feelings come to light
In the sound it’s our life, we can keep it up all night and day,
sideways endlessly through and out
Round and round and round and round
till finally there’s no time like the moment to shine right through
I’m starting to understand
what they mean when they say this is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt
10 ONE IN THE SAME
Trial by fire, to find out the hard way,
what it’s like without you, even my best intentions go astray
If passion can drive us home,
guided by voices in our heads can’t make sense of this
So never repeat a word of what was said, you, there’s nothing quite like you, nothing quite like you
We could be one in the same, when we can’t even get the words right
I’ve made my decisions here and now
And I’ll burn my lungs apart till you just fall silent,
and to top it all we can do nothing at all
Till even my best intentions cause you pain, I know I won’t last with you,
cause there’s nothing quite like you
Nothing quite like you,
we could be one in the same when we can’t even get the words right,
I’ve made my decisions
Here and now, why don’t I listen to my fears,
I’m hiding in signs and hopes that won’t fade, we’ll figure it out somehow
Someday if I can I ‘ll write till you are out of my side,
I’ll drive if you can’t hardly wait to fall back into my arms
We could be one in the same when we can’t even get the words right,
I’ve made my decisions here and now
Why don’t I listen to my fears, I’m shedding the signs and hopes that won’t fade, we’ll figure out somehow, someday
It’s not fair it’s not right, please, take me home tonight
11 HYDROPLANE
It seems like you’ve always known exactly what to say,
meanwhile I never know what to do with myself
When I get this way I’m walking on take comfort in all the nights we’ve shared,
I guess I’m walking on
Because there’s nothing left inside of me that cares,
I’m sorry that I can’t deny, the feelings that I’ve put aside
I’ve wasted my time for so long,
so tell how could this go up in flames when I’ve been awaiting
The return of blood,
it seems like you’ve always known things would turn out this way,
sometimes you never know
What can happen on any given day,
it seems like you’ve always known things would turn out this way
