For no reason at all
He's not excited
For no reason at all
He finds it hard to smile
And that's the mark of a lesser being
And that's one ungrateful soul
That's the mark of a lesser being
Someone who sulks when all is joy
Everything withers
Everything crumbles
Everything dies
Everything withers
Everything's rotten
Everything dies
For no reason at all
He finds it hard to bear
For no reason at all
He seems so out of place
And that's one disgraceful being
And that's one to leave behind
That's the one to overlook in silence
The one with permanent discontent
Everything withers...
I'd hate to spoil the party
I just couldn't go that day
You know I'm fine on my own
I'm much better off that way
I'd hate to spoil the party
I just couldn't go that day
I know I'm fine on my own
You're much better off that way
I'm tired of trying

Lover's Burden
03:59
|

It's time to melt into the clouds
It's time to dive below the ground
A time to disappear without notice
to explore the depths beneath
Separate age from aging well
Separate dreams from doing
Take up the lover's burden
Send forth the best you see
It's time to test foundations
It's time to plan ahead
A line to walk, a net to catch
A crowd to sit in awe
Separate bold from beautiful
Separate touch from care
Take up the lover's burden
Go pick the hurt you seek
I know, I know it's not up to you
You know, you know it hurts me too
Who knows? Who knows what might have been?
In a different time
In a different place
Shed the hideous from the herd
Bring a mirror to their faces
Take up the lover's burden
Go do what must be done
Shed the hideous from the herd
Bring a mirror to their faces
Take up the lover's burden
In patience to abide

We Must Suffer

We must suffer just because we can
Because we're worthless without it
We must suffer 'cause it's destiny
A lifetime of failures, all lined up
We must suffer 'cause it's all we can feel
We must suffer 'till the dreams go away
We must suffer to keep the stench from our hearts
We must suffer 'cause it's all we deserve
We eat from darkness, now it's in our blood
Tear our skin off just to show what's beneath
There are no reasons at this part of the world
There is no need for explanations
We must suffer 'till it's all we can feel
We must suffer 'cause we never really mattered
We must suffer to stop the disappoinment
We must suffer just to breathe

Last in Line

Look at the old man
Silently watching the world
Age has withered and worn him
WIth nothing to show for it now
He seems like the only thing aging here
Like a rotten apple in a fresh batch of fruit
And he's fading into shadow
While on one seems to mind
Now he knows
all the well meaning words were lies
He was always the last in line
Now he's out of time
Everyone smiles at him
But everybody knows
This worn down aging man
Has nowhere to go
No one's gonna love him
No one's gonna hold him
No one wants to know him
Now that his time is up
Now he knows
all the well meaning words were lies
He was always the last in line
Now he's out of time
Who's to say
Maybe we're better off anyway
Who's to say
Maybe his lack of love
means more for us

Riding Home

Give me all your prejudice
Your lack of understanding
I had a dream
alright
The TV-screen grows sappy
discolours and betrays
I had a dream
alright
Longing for something bigger than this
Longing to belong
Give me a dream of a better place
Where life grows from the dark
Give me a place where I fit in
Where the days don't disappear
I had a dream
alright
Chorus:
This storm
is riding home x 3
She had eyes of electricity
She had purity and loss
She had everything to make you want to live
But she wasn't me
The silence eats your words, my mind
and everything around
Can I borrow a dream
tonight?
Chorus...

Disgraced
03:59

|

All those pretty roses
Wither from my touch
All those pretty smiles
they don't smile that much
All those charming handsomes
They all left their mark
Everything I touch
Ceases to be
Everyone I try to love
turns away
disgraced
All that pretty sunshine
Couldn't reach me here
All your cold carresses
Hold nothing but despair
I embrace the chaos
that runs in your trail
Everything I touch
Ceases to be
Everyone I try to love
turns away
disgraced
Someone else
Some other time
Someone else
Some other life

Don't Bother Anymore
05:15

I used to be a part
of that same old song and dance
but I don't bother anymore
I used to dig
those wild wild party nights
But I don't bother anymore
And I don't smile the way I used to
I'm not the same as I was the day before
And I don't like the way I feel now
I fear it won't be better anymore
There used to be
The greatest unity
But no one bothers anymore
It used to mean
Everything to me
But I don't bother anymore
People don't smile like they used to
It's not the same as it was the year before
And I don't like the way it looks now
I feel it won't be better anymore
And I don't smile the way I used to
I'm not the same the as I was the day before
And I don't like the way it feels now
I fear it won't be better anymore

Edge of the World

Sitting here on the edge of the world
Watching all your lives unfurl
So sick of needles and pins
stuck into my brain
So sick of needles and pins in my brain
Sitting here on top of the sky
Watching as your souls drift by
I'm not around anymore
I have drifted away
I'm not around anymore, as they say
Some things are not meant to be
No matter how much I wish
and some things are better left untouched
or they'll fade
Standing here at the nick of time
Wondering if it's a sin or a crime
I watch the birds as they fly
you go your separate ways
I haven't quite been myself these days
Some things are not meant to be...
