The things we are here for / our lives tend to ignore / Each time we aim to make sure/ we won’t fail like we did before / We’re awake with eyes closed / and we’re born old / I wanna find you / embrace you / I wanna find you / nobody makes me / Pull as bad as you, explain to whom / I wanna fight you / and chase you / I wanna find you / nobody saves me
I don’t know / I don’t grow old / The way our dreams are / the way we bleed songs / the way greed kills us / the way my... / This side of body - a war / that side of body ashore - I'm still awake / Awake with my eyes closed / and we’re born old / I wanna find you / embrace you / I wanna find you / nobody shakes me / I don’t know, I don’t grow old / The nine was the close call / tonight was the close call

Tza-tza-tza / Tza-tza-tza-tza-tza / Breaking my rules again / it's bigger than silence for you / Breaking my rules again / it's bigger than silence for you / This is the final warning /that I've been hearing (lately) / My rules again

Keys To The City

The taste is awful / And the plague will find you / and parades will disguise you / The pale ace can't afford to lose / Your luck is bad, it grinds you / and your knuckles crack in a crime pool / Hey baby / hate to see the same problems / Not breathtaking / make believe in chain troubles / Keys to the city for free/ the sea's in the city for free / The praise is a lie, fool / / and the raise will defy you / and the change will define you / The head is empty, the hands full / Two dots for eyes and a dash too / I want strange answers so I ask you / Everybody's here for the final draw / Everybody's keen to wait / Everybody's here for the final song / Everybody's here to grow old / ...grow old / Keys to the city for free / decease in the city for free

The lights are white / and the future is my handicap / I have x-ray vision /
and enough dynamite to destroy my past / I like what I do / but I won't guarantee that it will last / Measure my thoughts in pounds / my mind is anonymous, an eternal task / My life is weathered by your hate / I tried to make sense / when I bought myself second hand / I pleaded guilty by the wishing well / but all the best swearwords are damned / Cold-shower revelations / an albino with a perfect tan / snow kind of keeps me warm / beside the open window a clacking fan / My life is weathered by your hate / I live like I'm asleep / and I sleep like I am dead / Inside me it's organic / fragments of what and where I used to be / memories come dead and alive / I'm left with the ones only I see / I take myself to the pawn show / but they won't even write a receipt / I work like a man / but my machinery is weak / (And I) like what I do / but I won't guarantee that it will last

Hear This Silence

Home is where you want to forget / the words that keep you inside / You don't know that nothing you say / will ever change their minds / You're alone in an empty space / doors locked, the keys outside / Mistakes for your friends' sake / you feed yourself the same lies / Many planets away
it was odd to hear the same old wails / of the same ones I slayed / Many sirens away / I hear this silence / and the same old streets are no more straight / Listen to mom who said it (again) / Blow away the phony threats / and the curse that keeps pain alive / You're done waiting for safety nets / Words better than writing to sign / You won't live for yesterday / today won't wait or tomorrow's its kind / We try to reason our ways / the preacher man is in the same line / (You're) the best fiend today

Here, under the surface / there's only more surface to scratch / With forests like these / everyone should have an instrument / and songs like birds to catch / I have left home so many times / that I've discovered the world on the outside / Those are the times I hope you realize / before you run out of time / Hear, the sky is wordless / No language will sound like yours / It's like a trace of history disappeared before written down / It's like an armistice before war / What you think is far is sometimes near / if you don't think too much about what is here / Words turn into paintings and sounds into dreams / I hope one of us two succeeds / You're trapped in a sea of maybes / until the planets line up and come the tide
The ropes that hide under your bed sheets / are the switchblades of the mind / The freedom is mine today / the truth is yours to save / Won't let you go blind on my watch / what you tried to steal was not much / The truth is stillborn

Problems Are Forever

I’m about as easy to understand / as any politician / I’m alive but I’m cheap to the sweat glands / Problems? / I know how to miss them / And nothing works like it is supposed / Not helping myself saying God’s doors are closed / Eating breakfast with Satan and tofu with Gandhi / My likeness with others is highly unlikely / I’m about as weak as an honest man / but my eyes can listen / I’m deaf and blind, write songs for our band / hardly anyone will hear them / And nothing rules before it starts to blow / Ahead in the distance nothing even glows / I’m meeting people that don’t even like me / 4 steps away from shadows that keep on stalking / I see you go home / I see you walk away / I did my job / where is the pay? / Who will come to your aid and say / ”The problem’s not always money” / All the corrections you make, but the disasters stay / sometimes just everything is funny / Roll your eyes and curse my name again / I’ll wait on the sidelines while counting to ten / I’m lazy but think hard to better understand / why something that’s shit can earn you many, many grand / I see you go broke / I see you walk away / I did your job / where is the pay? All these words are falling / in the wrong category / Hide and seek, bury the bleak – overexpose your scorn / leave the scene and burn it like the cape you’ve worn / On and on...

You move pretty fast for such a big guy / and you scream pretty loud for such a small girl / I'll wait inside and drink the poison / that your arms have bled all day / The moon is crying for a vacation
but the sun won't accept its invitation / Your lazy eyes move in every direction / place your cards where they may stay / You tame the lies with a frying pan / you hate his life as hard as you can
All those cues that came from your side / now there's blood in the bath and I feel fine / Co-remember what size was the knife that sliced / the right words out of you / Now the fresh clues have started to track me down / Too much light shed on my dirty crown / Powers unknown to me grab my sturdy frame / and take my fantasies away / The proof will burn down faster than you run / but the blinds won't cover your heart / Soon your neck will extend down to your crotch
and the floor won't be close enough / for your feet and arms to pull you up / tough luck - no one hears you knock / Whatever they say, they say they'll put you up / in a place for your thoughts to rot
Skeletons in the closet / the closet in hell

I bathe in your remains / you can't see how lucky I am / I freeze and stare at the space / you left when you got off the road / And I'm not into fighting no fools / enough challenge in bending your rules / of what is not, what is sacred, what will last long / I feel sorry for the past where you belong / So many ways to play it safe / I'm getting a word for my birthday / it says fight me no more / I'm giving birth to my first day / a new place where freedom is old / The price was lower than the cost / and the phrase was a loaded gun / not enough, not enough / to break the world like we thought / The price was lower than the cost
