you sleep and work and work and sleep and manage the demons that got
you grinding teeth and biting at flies and there's a lovely home
somewhere you never see maybe a wife you can't look in the eyes but
it's all worth it there's a good ira and lots of lunches you can put
on the card and yah your brother really thinks that you got it made
but your brother never did work as hard
no exceptions for the working classes
no religion for the upper crust
all expense paid trip to nowhere
compliments of the wealth you trust
paid in full
obsession is the demon that desire creates when you can't choose
between the need and the want and you already got a wife that you
never see and a baby you keep at the club another year and you'll be
back on your feet after you pay for all the bets that you lost and
there is one more little number you wanna hit but the pay off won't
cover the cost
(repeat chorus)
farther and farther away from the place where you start
pinpoint a weakness and take every symptom to heart
never keep secrets and try not to be late for (work)
all demons live in the details hunters follow the entrails
all demons live in the details hunters follow the entrails
and hunt

Who Believes Enough?
04:06
|

these are the dark ages an empire lies here under the rocks I've seen
scarred faces that have bled and cried out who has enough patience to
wait for something better to come I know that I am not the one who
knows a face you can trust don't talk crazy don't give me the news in
my city yetI got plenty to read the morning paper's enough but who
makes the news and who breaks the news to an upright citizen somebody
spare me the seen and show what's been done to help
this is enough my head is clear
satellite feeds move through the dark waking me up with the sun
who believes enough in this world I do I know who believes to see that
t.v. screens show half of what it's about read it on the ticker tape
hear it on the airwaves all night who believes enough in this world
save them all does it have to be as hard as this now it's all making sense
our inside is dark outside
to save inside you start outside
but I can't save them
(repeat chorus)

Sea Legs

I bet you hide your face when you're walking all alone on the streets
you love like a shipwreck lost in the fog before the wind came in
another piece had come to shore such a beautiful wreck there's nothing
beautiful any more
I know they call your name but I would never tell a soul too many
pitiful lives are made fiction after they're gone if you could draw me
in then i could show you where to go far away from the rocks and the
clouds and the rain and all the things that you can't control
I had to enter the storm
it knew from where I had come
these eyes had seen it before
no one should travel alone
I'm not lost in the fog
I'm just a wreck in the sea
I wouldn't trade for it all
I'm not lost in the fog
I'm not lost

Cause Of Shame
03:14
|

the only part that you don't seem to get is the true one why can't you
understand when it comes to love my heart is the desert and yours is
the sun let it dry and crack my skin until the blood runs
and I can see them standing above you holding on to the stones ready
to be thrown without good conscience we have no marrow nothing deep
in our bones no good
touch the earth maybe you're too far from the ground like an angel or
maybe something else when it came to us your words were the ashes and
I was the dust and now scatter them around with patience
you kept it all for yourself a feast made for thousands I watched as
your belly swelled filled with what you stole fire is the devil's
defense now I know were you right was it worth it to know were you
right wrong right to think about yourself
(repeat chorus)

Too Cool For School
02:55
|
|||
some people know their place in life and if you don't know yours I
guess your lost with rest no substance and no real answers to find a
broken back or a broken mind don't think you're gonna make it alright
cause you got student loans and you ain't sleepin' at night no
classroom in the world can help you survive there's no degree for your
real life
inside our minds some guys are just too cool for school
inside our minds we can't afford to work anymore
no man should spend his whole life inside the skin pales the fire goes
out in his eyes and weakness consumes his body and mind that's quite a
price for a nine to five no paycheck means no money to spend no
blowin' cash on things that make you stay up all night and that might
keep you alive another day or two another day in your simple life
(repeat chorus)
innocent child
innocence stays at home
wake up child it's time to go
wake up
awake

Don't Lose Your Shadow
02:43

another winter and it's colder than hell but it's alright it's only
heat that I can feel inside I see the warmth of wandering eyes and
they seem to move me around I need to see the gray up above me a dark
sky can pull me up to the top and give me back what summer has claimed
and then repeat the process you wanna stand by yourself if you can
break the braces you think that you could climb any mountain the
bravery that you possess is a fraud and if you make it back from the
top you need the world to notice you struggle for a casual life but
you don't got the bloody guts to make it real life has a rhythm and
you're just not keepin' the time the final bell will be ringin' out it
seems you are a child among them I feel you're given way more than you
deserve but who am I to fault the design of such a seasonal interest
expect a side effect for being like expect the emptiness for being
like expect a side effect for being like them
were shadows one were shadows all and all too much dark we don't exist at all
were shadows one were shadows all and all too much light we don't exist at all
another winter and it's colder than hell but it's alright it's only
heat that I can feel
inside I see the warmth of wandering eyes and they seem to move me
around I need to see the gray up above me a dark sky can pull me back
to the top and if you say that this is the end then it is

One Thousand Tongues
03:44
|

you talk much more than you realize you have friends in too many
places just a mistress kept in the city for sex and progress the gods
of modern men it's a lust that no ring can satisfy only money in the
right places just a drink or two left to finish for sex and progress
the toast of modern men
we don't want it see if we care we don't want it sex and progress you
leave it all again each kiss I face makes me think about how it's cold
inside this arrangement her lips are moving between the lines then
soft and sickly she leans in close to me it's a thousand whispers from
a thousand tongues
if turnin' tricks is your life's true calling then turn them hard and
tight no faint attempt will win you the prize when your youth is
squandered your heart will still remain you picture love in a physical
as a cool new game to play without a mask you run through the night
just sweet distraction in this hopeless life we live
you talk much more than you realize you have friends in too many
places no miracles left to fabricate for sex and progress the gods of
modern men what good can come from the faces of weak men with no heart
to heal leave now and save what is left of your innocence is gone too
soon again
(repeat chorus)

. . . Man, Woman. . .
04:15

your mouth perfect in design vessel of impurity embodiment of lies
running from the kiss that poisoned me inside desire breeds a
recklessness in me despite the pain I put my hand back in the fire you
taken from the flesh if the wound can never heal I will bleed to death
mud and rib aside a bond for us was born a seed from which deception
grew into it's present form still I try breathe in deep to catch your
breath how much love can two hearts beat to death God why do I succumb
to this mortal flesh I know what love becomes because of this that I
can see that man will not survive pull me to the ground put me in the
soil back from where I came within a warm embrace now I can see that
man will not survive

Colored Lights
02:18
|

I see the colored lights and they hypnotize fallen stones throw 'em
away down in a hole deep in a well and does the shadow encompass not
only that but the picture of faith all that's good in your hearts in
your minds deep inside i want to kneel beside them to the colored
lights
I'm so afraid of the darkness that I can't sleep I search and search
for peace and for help but I know I will face it alone and for all
passionate sons who live for their dreams and just long to sleep
obscure and wide the silence tells us things that we know just
couldn't be true I want to sleep in the silence of the colored lights
protect yourself
from the colored lights

eight days and a lonely heart no face locked in this you've got time
to find a lover eight legs lonely heart
your tricks don't make sense they burn like a matchstick your tricks
don't make sense they just burn
(repeat)
if you offer your soft secret I can't alter my own demons
there's no way to lose again if there is faith in healing
