Pieces that You Cling to

Stop pushing it
It's dead in the water
Stop pushing it
It won't get further
It was a good run
It was a good run
(keep telling yourself)
Forget about saving it
It drowned long ago
Forget about helping it
Help can only go so far
These pieces that you cling to
Are someone's shattered waste
And some sick twisted fate
But you are made out of glue
And everything that's broken
Will always stick to you
Stop cheering it on
It's mean to give it hope
Stop cheering it on
It cannot go no more
Stop pushing it
It's time to let it go
Stop pushing it
There's nothing left of value
These pieces that you cling to...

What Comes Next?

So you start to wonder
Why even bother?
And you start to question
if it's worth it at all
The look on their faces tell you
You're not doing any favors here
But you can always slip into the shadows
Like you weren't really there
What comes next?
What comes next?
What comes next?
What comes now?
So you start to look around for other options
But then you realise, you look for anything on
The look in their eyes tell you
You have no business here
Tested once and found to light
Use once and throw away
What comes next...
I guess that's the effect you have on people
I guess that's who you are
Some are meant for greater things
Others just fall apart
What comes next...

Piece by Piece

Piece by piece it disappears
Bit by bit it's gone
Dead and broken
Line by line it covers up
Piece by piece it fails
Dead and broken
Dead and broken
Dead and broken sums it up

Gag Reflex

He crossed the street and she felt sick
Holding back the urge
He walked by staring so she looked away
Holding back the urge
His shadow hit her face and she felt ill
Holding back th eurge
She lit a cigarette just to clear the air
Holding back the urge
Tell it like is
Gag reflex
x2
He came through the door and they went straight for the exit
Holding back the urge
Trying to erase the image in their minds
Holding back the urge
She caught his face in a mirror and averted her eyes
Holding back the urge
She felt the presence of nothingness
Holding back the urge
Tell it like it is...
Someone you could never care for
Someone you could never love
Someone you would never dream of
Someone always reminding you of sickess
Tell it like its...

Dead but Still Alive

Dead feet walking
Dead blood pumping
Dead eyes watching
Dead mouth talking
Dead hands feeling
Dead skin peeling
Dead heart beating
Dead lust growing
Dead ears closing
Dead hair growing
Dead bones aching
Dead arms shrinking
Dead walls rising
Dead glass fading
Dead doors closing
Dead brain choking
Dead but still alive
Dead but still alive
Dead but still alive

Close Enough to Touch
03:55
|
|

|
Just around the corner
Greater things in sight
That doesn't mean it's possible
Even if it's right
Close enough to feel
Close enough to smell
Close enough to love
But too far away to tell
Close enough to touch but out of reach
Try to climb that mountain
Try to take that hill
You may like the view at first
But you're falling harder still
Close enough to hope
Close enough to hold
Close enough to care
But so far away it's cold
Close enough to touch but out of reach

The 5th Wheel

Enough time as been spent
Enough tears have been shed
Enough efforts have been wasted
Enough chances have been missed
It's time for the invisible
To disappear completely
It's time for the incomplete to leave
It's time for the failed ones
To call it a day
It's time for the hopeless
To fade away
Enough roads have been worn down
Enough oxygen had been used
Enough money spent on rubbish
Enough results have come up short
It's time...
All those moments will be lost
All those moments will be lost
All those moments will be lost
Time to fade away

Coda Copenhagen, Denmark
Coda is a band that never formed and instead became a one-man army. Coda likes noisy guitars, groovy synths and... noise!
And there is usually a pop song hidden in there.
