Hollow

Now I'm alone at night
I feel I'm blessed with second sight
We shout & we run away
Why's it always feel this way?
So no one can tell me what it's like to be hollow
'Cos it's a lonely feeling
And when I've blown what's left of my life
The cards will tell me everything's alright

When our love falls thin & hollow
When all hope is gone
When two wrongs make it right
She said "No love is strong" & hope leaps from his eyes
He said "She let it fall" & nothing's left behind

Scratch & you can see how deep this goes
It's there & all for show
There's always someone shouting "I'm never wrong"
And "Stay where you belong"
Faithless hope, no memory could leave alone
It's safer on your own
Oh paranoia's dead end light
Is dancing round your head tonight

When our love falls thin & hollow
When all hope is gone ...
How could you do that to me?


By The Wayside

As shadows grow
As you've been through
So I kicked your feelings
All today now
I asked you if you could force away your doubts
Just cry & let them out

Someone always saw to you
In splinters of relief
I can see it all go wrong
And you gave new belief

Feel around
Realise
Feel around
Realise
Left by the wayside
By the wayside
Cast aside
Can money buy the new you?

Shed all broken, fallen people
Shout "I'd love to come around"
You're never sorry or right
It's all heavy breathing and
Off with the lights

So it's taken by gallows
Screaminglv shallow
Dragging her halo
Timesick & overdue


Levelled Out

See her
Forming soft green lines unbroken
She waits in seed
"We've little time" said he
And turns for home
With blade in hand
To reap the field
And set her free
He'll set her free

He looks for her now but she's
Levelled out ...

He shook
A duty he could not perform
To take a life & strike
The killing call
Lifting his eyes & arms up to the sky
He cut her down
And wondered why
He wondered why

He looks for her now but she's
Levelled out ...


Downfall

Advance in swirling overcoat
The man called Shadow's after dark
He looked on ribboned head in front
Skipping to the empty park
He ran inside to vacant stretch
The footsteps were so soft behind her
Disappearing through the gate
It wouldn't take too long to find her
He breathed "We are alone"

The night drew in & watched them there
A cat & mouse but who could tell
A scathing hand caught ribbons bright
A rough face pushed against her hair
She turned to face & caught his eye
With sharper teeth so long & bright
How Legion laughed! How Legion cried!
Oh lucky day! Oh sweet surprise!
She breathed "We are alone"

And Legion told her "We'll never leave you alone" ...


Beginning Of The End

A storm is on the way
And we're raining heaven in roses
Silouhettes & shame
Our money buys no compromise
Until you realise
Glazed eyes, reprise
You can't make us go away
Now we've really seen the light today
No great surprise
True friends & spies, collide
When the evil eyes

Outshine the moon for me
Outshine the sun
Outshine all those below
We outshine the Stone?

Unreal, I'm sick
But we tried
You soon believe the lies
Behind Adrenaline
So break your other face
And slide along the ground to me
The King is dead
We win this time, Deadline
When the evil eyes

Outshine the moon for me
Outshine the sun
Outshine all those below
We outshine the Stone?

Outshine the moon for me
Outshine the sun
Outshine all those below
We outshine the Stone?
Outshine...the Stone!


Sidelined

Leaving your side
Isn't harder than leaving the room
I'm surrounded while you're alive
I can no longer sell out & lose you
Forever holding me

How long is always
Answer forever
How long is always
Answer forever, underground
Sidelined
Underground

Love is like a thousand burning needles
Pushing through my skin
They work their way inside
Coldness from within
A lonely sun will reach the skies above
Ascending over me
The years all seem like days
As seconds look the other way

How long is always ...


Cats Or Devils Eyes

In the gleam of the forest hole
Here she comes along the road
Slowly moving to the edge of time
Shadow of tomorrow's world

Dirty windscreen, flat tyre
Heading towards the point of no return
A tin rust vehicle made of broken parts
A frightening vision of the other side
Other side, other side
A frightening vision of the other side
The other side

As she trundled along the road
In the dark & misty gloom
She had the unclear vision
Of those cats eyes

Dirty windscreen, flat tyre ...

In the gloom
Here she comes
Slowly moving
To the edge of time

Dirty windscreen, flat tyre ...


Pandora's Box

A hard choice to make the move around
Hard luck is all I need right now
This is just another low

Another side you've yet to see of me
Like a stain that spreads around me
How the secrecy within me lied

Oh, let's join the low life
Outside
Tonight

Relations soured at your eleventh hour
Save it all
Don't hold out

How long have we been together?
It feels like forever
Hold on to love
I'm higher now, I'm braver now
I've never tried suicide ...

It's hard to celebrate
It's holier to be erased
The more we see the more we hide

She moves through the game
Delights in acting centre stage
Looking good out of sight

I'm low down in the high life
I despise what's right

I don't want tomorrows
When revelations follow
I'll leave alone & live without

How long have we...


Choices

They were hoping you weren't inside
But that's the price you have to pay
Laying on the table in red & white
Looking like you gave it away

I've been building up the walls
With my hate inside
I've been standing in the shadows
With my face to the light
And so soon
Me & you

I've been running through your nerves
Until they made up my mind
I've been going through your choices
At the end of a knife
And your face has to be mine

I've been building up the walls
With my hate inside
I've been standing in the shadows
With my face to the light
And to see
Is to believe

I can move
I can move
I can move
I can move

Oh they thought they could take this away
But I've saved it all in dreams
It takes just a while to get through these things
But I'm sure you know what that means

I've been building up the walls
With my hate inside
I've been standing in the shadows
With my face to the light
And so soon
Me & you

I've been running through your nerves
Until they made up my mind
I've been going through your choices
At the end of a knife
And your face
Has to be mine

I've been building up the walls
With my hate inside
I've been standing in the shadows
With my face to the light
And to see
Is to believe

I can move
I can move
I can move
I can move
You
