Lyrics

Stories from the void.

Written in Plastic

Written in Plastic

 

She travels written in plastic

Pealing buttons on a coat of gold

Leaving one side flap open

Revealing nothing

 

Retreating steps back toward the door

The breeze blowing her hair back

Dress pressed against a window

Her story unfolds

 

An unknown voice cries out

 

And then we are – the story told backwards

And then we are – the unblessed children

 

And they live in the desert

Sheltered by plastic

Burning fire so gold 

Cooking on the winds of fortune

They walk in streets of old 

 

And then we are – the unwanted rapture

And then we are – the rift between the guidelines

And then we are – the untold scriptures

 

She travels in fortunes

She lifts her eyes and the wind blows

She talks and the sun goes

Home

Home

 

Tell your story in a magazine

Being right didn’t make it easy

How does it feel

 

I tell you my secrets

I tell you all my dreams

You think I’m strange

I know they’re real

 

Tears faces – Desperation

We do what must be done

Such sleep it beckons like love

Your sleep is just like love

 

Standing in the doorway

Eyes are filled with faces

Acrobats and jugglers

Is it what it seems

 

Home is such a safe place

Home is such a safe place

 

You’ve got something to choose

When you’re gonna be in love

You’ve got something to choose

1,000 Days

1,000 Days

I’ll be all ways

Which way to run and not to hide

I’m walking behind you

Hunting by your side

 

It’s Lonely while you wander out

About you wonder aloud

If you watch I can torch so

A lot of troubles in a crowd

 

I’ll be watching you – when you come down

You will come talk to me – when you hit ground

I’ll be your witness - Your lover and your guide

I’m standing by a runway

I’m under lights I just can’t hide

Invisibility

Invisibiity

 

Invisibility knows no sides

And you see these walls divide

I can hear the closing door

Closes now here is no more

 

She climbs

A waste involves inclines

Her chaste involves advice

A waste evolves in fires

 

Invisibility hits this clime

Unbolt the walls and the parts they fly

She’s never seen them

She’s never seen them - Divide

 

Invisibility

Invisibility

Invisibility

Invisibility

Spilled

Spilled

 

People waving passer by jump up and down to kill the lie

Bodies flailing in a shirt cover up you face with dirt

Animals they need no sense exist quite well no recompense

For action done or left undone they feed the hunger deep inside

If all the oceans and the seas were measured by the falling leaves

Of all the trees since time began who in the end would give a damn

Clocks are ticking in her brain a child wants to begin again

This parable of life and death

You gasp your first and dying breath

Carousel of love and hate which horse your ride let it equate

Your mother left a dirty mess inside your head not on your dress

Puncture skin and be amused it’s not so funny to be used

You laugh and ride led by them the glitter dust and jello men

Rapture cowboy ride the west pristine girl with diamond vest

Your enemy hides deep within look beyond the devils grin

Captured dreams on stormy seas tranquil beaches Paulines knees

Tremble in her skirt again she has a fear of simple men and

Tales from lips of so called friends

Please let me repeat that again

Captured dreams on stormy seas tranquil beaches Paulines knees

Tremble in her skirt again she has a fear of simple men and

Tales from lips of so called friends

Please don’t let me repeat that again

Modern Living

Modern Living

 

What do you call it when you’re living

It’s just modern living

Lots of take and no giving

This is Modern Living

 

You think you move up in style

But what are those sticky friends

They’re hanging on you

 

You think you move in class

But all your dreams they’re just stuck in the past

 

A bit if this I’ve had enough of that

Modern Living

I swept a lot of dirt under the mat

Modern Living

 

You say nasty things on the phone

Why you get nasty when you’re at home

You ought to save it for when we’re alone

A little more shit I’m takin you back way back

 

A bit if this I’ve had enough of that

Modern Living

I swept a lot of dirt under the mat

Modern Living

 

We go out for a good time

What do your think that we find

We go out for a real good time yea

I don’t care, I don’t care what time it is

 

I don’t talk to people out on the street

When I get hung up my emotions freeze

I don’t wanna answer the ringing telephone

Why don’t they all just fuck off and leave me alone
