Evil Things
04:17
|
|||
I feel like I'm in a dream and I wanna wake up
God knows it's not what it seems
I can't find my way out
I feel like somebody else and no one knows me now
I'm on the edge of this world and I wanna get down
I wanna get out, I wanna get out of this place
Windows been shutting in my mind
Stay close
They're climbing up the walls like flames
to pull down the wool over my eyes
As they close
to shutter in the dark black smoke
They're lining up them evil things
to pull down the wool
I don't wanna be lost, I don't wanna be lost in the dark
I feel like I'm in a dream and I wanna wake up
A spark of what I used to be "shown" a light in the dark
I feel like somebody else and no one knows me now
I'm on the edge all alone and I wanna get down
I wanna get out, I wanna get out of this place
Windows been shutting in my mind
Stay close
They're climbing up the walls like flames
to pull down the wool over my eyes
As they close
to shutter in the dark black smoke
They're lining up them evil things
to burn down the wool over my eyes
As they close
to shutter in the dark black smoke
They're lining up them evil things
to burn down the wool over my eyes
As they blow into Winter frost
Deeper into the dark of the night, no dawn
I don't wanna be lost, I don't wanna be lost in the dark

Just Like Magic
05:07
|

The shapes you cast leave rings in the water
Where no eyes would dare to gaze
I would lay you down in the garden
Cover you with dirt like blankets
By the lake where ghosts still gather
Autumn winds bring leaves that scatter
Oh, it's just like magic
Close your eyes and I slip away
Where we all disappear
Burn holes through time
Pass away
Somehow you shift shapes in the night
With secrets buried deep you hide
and hold the weight of all the air in hands
Your stories so old that you just tend to keep
By the lake where ghosts still gather
One day I will mend whats tattered
Oh, it's just like magic
Close your eyes and I slip away
Where we all disappear
Burn holes through time
Pass away
There's no way to save the soul that you gave
You can't take it back
It faded away
All that you have is holding you back
It's weighing you down

Now That You're Gone
03:20
|
|||
I hear your voice in the darkness
It haunts my mind
Echoes of the past
I hear dark sounds from my dreams
Alone with memories
I saw you there
Oh, the cold wind blows
Sends a shiver down to your bones
Oh, the restless wind
Ghosts knocking on the glass
Tapping on the windows, waking up the past
Oh, it never ends
Time goes by so fast
Now that you're gone
I hear your voice in the darkness
It haunts my mind
Echoes of the past
I see a face, reflections
Inside the mirrors walls
I never meant to leave you long
Oh, the cold wind blows
Sends a shiver down to your bones
Oh, the restless wind
Ghosts knocking on the glass
Tapping on the windows, waking up the past
Oh, it never ends
Time goes by to fast
Now that you're gone

One More Time
05:10
|
|||
Lost in the haze
You and I wait in the places that we used to go back then
Flow through the hours
These days pass through the hallway so slowly
As time does haunt me like a ghost
Always often I waited to long
Hold me like a child in your hopeless arms
For I'm nothing more than the toy you once had your way with
I'm a china doll
Oh, you loved me once but now I'm gone
It hurts
I'm tender to the touch
would you hold me like a child just once more
it hurts
I'm tender to the touch
Please hold me like a child just one more time
Throw myself to the skies flames
Reflections they cast off the mirror lake
Lines around my scarecrow eyes change
Even though I know they'll always be there
To haunt me like a ghost
Moves so slow to hide in the place of them walls
All them nights I waited for you in the starlight
Dreams I've had of you
Fade with me in the sand
Hold me like a child in your loveless arms
For I'm nothing more than the toy you once had your way with
I'm a china doll
Oh, you loved me once but now I'm gone
It hurts
I'm tender to the touch
Would you hold me like a child just once more
It hurts
I'm tender to the touch
Please hold me like a child just one more time

Sometimes
03:30
|
|||
This place reminds me of old times
I relive those days in my mind
A castle built when we were kids
Held on to the things we did
Hanged underneath the Christmas lights
Rolling around winter nights
Sometimes I never let you go
Covers and blankets of snow
Cold, my chest is a cave
It's an endless abyss through the walls where I drift
For a light in the dark
I wonder where I am, I wonder where you are
Take this wish that I made
God, I love you so
I don't wanna let you go
Phantom limbs in the night have come to wrap you up
Don't often think of what I had
Always I just end up sad
Sometimes at night I get so cold
Sometimes I just can't get close enough
You feel so far away
Once and awhile, always
Sometimes I hold you in my arms
Once and awhile I wonder where you are
Cold, my chest is a cave
It's an endless abyss through the walls where I drift
For a light in the dark
I wonder where I am, I wonder where you are
Take this wish that I made
God, I love you so
I don't wanna let you go
Phantom limbs in the night have come to wrap you up

The Collector
04:49
|
|||
Broken down like a rusty ride from an old carnival
Lights went out, no ones around
It's like a cemetery lawn
Conjure spirits from somewhere when mines broken
I have a collection of memories but no box
I have a collection
I have a collection of memories
I felt your hands up and down my back
But there was nobody there
I heard footsteps in the house last night
But there was nobody there
Conjure spirits from somewhere when mines broken
I have a collection of memories in a row
I have a collection
I have a collection of memories I keep
And I remember everything
I remember everything I once was

Hurry Up
03:39
|
|||
The song you sing every-night
Til morning comes
To fly away when I wake
So fast
Hide, when I don't wanna cry
Just run to you in the fading light
So close
But I don't wanna go
You better hurry up
Time to waste here these days
To run away
So you're not far behind
So why do I...
Hide, when I don't wanna cry
Just run to you in the fading light
So close
But I don't wanna go
You better hurry up

A Place to Hide
05:24
|
|||
Bell chime and carousels
Merry-go-'rounds
Every now and then I fall down and hide like children do
In the dark
In the skeleton closet with bones of porcelain
I'm fragile
I can't balance on these branches
They’re bound to break
Down the hillside
Through the churchyard lies a cemetery to bury my past
Through field stalks
Your little boy sits calm
I spent my whole life building these walls
To have a place to hide
April showers
The caskets fill around me
I'll take flowers and decorate what little space I've made
In the dark to lay until these hours fade into warm days
If I could save your soul
I would walk into the darkness with eyes closed
I would fall into the fire without water
I'd beg to crawl
Ashes ashes we all fall down

Time Slips Away
06:06
|
|||
Time is blowing away
Where the leaves cover me
Left me out in the cold
Twilight, terrified
Time is an awful wait
Barely can hide my age
Left me out in the cold
Winter eyes, terrified
Cried over you more than a thousand times
The tears that you wanna see
The words that you long to hear
The cold that you would not feel
The past lay still but real
Can't hide in the dark
Strange, funny how time takes us all away
Honey, I was just safe and sound
Someone had to let me down
I'd lay still all night long
The past had the saddest songs
They now don't sound the same
Time just slips away
Time is a warning
Circles and signs
Left me out in the cold
Snowy nights, terrified
Cried over you more than a thousand times
The tears that you wanna see
The words that you long to hear
The cold that you would not feel
The past lay still but real
Can't hide in the dark
Strange, funny how time takes us all away
Honey, I was just safe and sound
Someone had to let me down
I'd lay still all night long
The past had the saddest songs
They now don't sound the same
Time just slips away

So Close
04:11
|
|||
It's hard we were so close
I'm in in the dark
It's hard to see
I waited so long for you to say
“Stay with me”
I wanna lay you down
Runaway
I wanna be with you always
Oh, I miss you so bad
Oh, I watched you fade out like a lamp does in morning light
Oh, I'm coming home tonight
Everything I was led me to this
It's hard to believe
I've waited so long out in the rain
One of these days...
I'm wanna lay you down
Runaway
I wanna be with you always
Oh, I miss you so bad
Oh, I watched you fade out like a lamp does in morning light
Oh, I'm coming home tonight

When You Close Your Eyes
05:46
|
|||
Long winding road
Home, stone walls, stone cold
You're skin and bones
Window shades down
Eyes on me now
Images of your empty arms hold me down
You were always haunted
Made your home in the shadows with the ghosts
In the closet
Hide your bones from detachment
This web you weave stays hung by sheets
With spiders that crawl across your swollen cheeks
This web you weave stays hung by sheets
With spiders that crawl across your woven cheeks
In the bedroom climbing the walls
Cracks spread like fire
As you lie awake
Do more than ghosts reside in the dark?
I want to see behind the veil of dust and gale
when you close your eyes
