01. Purple Heart - Lyrics:
You're starting to feel you're not bullet proof
Breathe it in, breathe it out
Wiping the blood from your purple heart
Breathe it in and breathe it out
You don't wanna look but you just can't help yourself
You know that it could someday be the death of you
Is this what it feels like to find out?
Is this what it feels like?
Is this what it feels like to find out?
Is this what it feels like?
You're starting to feel the years in your bones
Breathe it in, breathe it out
The face in the mirror is startin' to fade
Breathe it in and breathe it out
You don't wanna look but you just can't help yourself
You know that it could someday be the death of you
Is this what it feels like to find out?
Is this what it feels like?
Is this what it feels like to find out?
Just what it feels like?
You're holdin' up your own halo
Your purple heart, your halo
You don't wanna look but you still can't look away
You're hanging the hope from the ribbon of your purple heart
Is this what it feels like to find out?
Is this what it feels like?
Is this what it feels like to find out?
Is this what it feels like?
02. City Limits - Lyrics:
If I had've known it
Then I would've shown it
My frustration with this old town
You can brush it under
But it always comes back
It's still following you around
And the city limits
Keep on getting bigger
Just when you thought you had made it out
And you're sick of waiting
Lying on the pavement
Tryna get out of this old town
She confides that
She wants a little more
Are we living?
Are we living?
She confides that
She wants a little more
Are we living?
Or merely killing time!
Looking at the ceiling
Tryna shake the feeling
That you just may have missed your time
Tearing up your ticket
Did you think you won it?
Make a killing in this old town
She confides that
She wants a little more
Are we living?
Are we living?
She confides that
She wants a little more
Are we living?
Or merely killing time!
Oh feeling like I should get away!
Feeling like I should get away!
I'm sorry that you know
I'm sorry that you (know)
Feeling like I should get away!
Feeling like I should get away!
I'm sorry that you know
I'm sorry that you know
If I had've known it
Then I would've shown it
My frustration with this old town
And the paint is fading
On the car that's waiting
Around the corner to take you out
Passed the city limits
Passed the point of living
Over the border of yesterday
Biting on the bullet
Do you really want it?
Dying for your chance to feel alive!
Oh feeling like I should get away!
Feeling like I should get away!
I'm sorry that you know
I'm sorry that you (know)
Feeling like I should get away!
Feeling like I should get away!
I'm sorry that you know
I'm sorry that you know.
03. Let It Go - Lyrics:
Masquerade
A mask of steel
Winding life
Onto the reel
And playing back now, the scenes that you looked away from
As they burn your eyes
And leave you blind
Let it go now
Living the lie
With so much love tonight
Let it go now
Living the lie
With so much love tonight
She concedes
That change is calling
He's not the man
She thought she fell for
He wants her so bad that heaven could be inside her
A silver touch
From golden gloves
Let it go now
Living the lie
With so much love tonight
Let it go now
Living the lie
With so much love tonight
Frozen on the figurine
Credits rolling up the screen
It's over now
It's over
Frozen frames of beauty queens
Reaching through the silver screen, of this lie
It's over
Why are you so cynical living in the mess you made?
Why are you so cynical, can't prove yourself to everyone
It's over
Let it go now
Living the lie
With so much love tonight
Let it go now
Living the lie
With so much love tonight.
04. The Escape Artist - Lyrics:
I don't know why
I can't explain
An artist of
The great escape
I don't know why
I levitate
Above the rest of the cabaret
I don't know why
I can't explain
You're on the trail of a renegade
The work of an, illusionist
I never thought I'd get away with this
A trapdoor that opens in the real world
And lets in
The arcane
A trapdoor that opens underneath you
Each time
You lie
I didn't think I'd get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
I didn't think I'd get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
I don't know why, I can't explain
Lock me up and throw the key away
Sleight of hand
Parlour tricks
A drinking game with the alchemist
I don't know why
I can't explain
I'm vanishing, without a trace
And falling for
This fantasy
You'd fall in love with a murder scene
A trapdoor that opens in the real world
And lets in
The arcane
A trapdoor that opens underneath you
Each time
You lie
I didn't think I'd get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
I didn't think I'd get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
If this is the real world
Then i become an illusion
If this is the real world
Then i become an illusion
I become an illusion
I become your illusion
A trapdoor that opens underneath you
Each time
You lie
I become an illusion
(A trapdoor that opens in the real world) I become an illusion
(A trapdoor that opens in the real world) I become an illusion.
05. Electric Throne - Lyrics:
Your king was just a con-man
And the crown you found
Was not more than a beggar's bowl
Turned upside down
But it's still intoxicating
And you wear it well
A halo that could bring the devil
Right out of you
Electric throne it gets me high
(To hang you high)
A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind
(To hang you high)
[Kim Benzie]:
Your saints were just a signpost
Somebody turned around
Still wearing the same addiction
Turned inside out
You break the bones of history
You break the speed of sound
For not more than a beggar's bowl
Turned upside down
Electric throne it gets me high
(To hang you high)
A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind
(To hang you high)
[Kim Benzie]:
Your head and heart become estranged
Bodies hanging on the high-road
And maybe they, gave you away
And left you hanging on the high-nail
They left you high
It left you high
And do the pearls of wisdom form a noose?
To hang you high
To pull the more you move
And maybe it gave you away
And maybe it gave you away
And left you hanging high
And maybe it gave you away...
Or does the crown wear you?
Corrupting hands hold you
A devil by your side
This cosmonaut
Of the soul
But are you still wearing the crown?
Are you still wearing the crown?
Electric throne it gets me high
(To hang you high)
A beggar's soldier is taking over my mind
(To hang you high).
06. And We'll Defy - Lyrics:
A moment of your time, please
It's the need to belong
A movement that defines you
A city where you won't have to feel alone
Searching for the new world
And sailing over the edge
I'm paying off the preacher
And paying off his debts
I'll close my eyes forever
I'll close my eyes forever
I'll close my eyes and follow you
I'll close my eyes and follow you
The blind leading the blind, now
Holding nuclear hands
I'm slipping on the blood-stained
Stairs to heaven's gate
I'll close my eyes forever
I'll close my eyes forever
I'll close my eyes and follow you
I'll close my eyes and follow you
And we'll defy
And we'll defy
Sell me a vision for love is blind
Falsely imprisoned
Where love is blind
My love is blind
And I'll follow you
I'll close my eyes
And follow you
And we'll defy
And we'll defy
And we'll defy
(Sell me a vision, for love is blind)
And we'll defy
(Falsely imprisoned, where love is blind)
And we'll defy
(My love is blind)
And I'll follow you
And we'll defy
(My love is blind)
And I'll follow you.
07. Bodies In The River Nile - Instrumental.
08. Neon Sunrise - Lyrics:
Night-tripper, socialite
Wearing my ring of infidelity
The guilt, the waste
To cast aside
And getting off on grounds of insanity
Lights flicker
The guilty high
Guilty side streets of my morality
Neon reasons
To cast aside
Worse for wear and victims of gravity
And I feel like a ghost
Cause everything's just how I left it
Everything I was trying to change
Sitting like I'd never left it
Tell me now
Am I missing something?
As if I
Shield my face
From the cold, cold rays
Of a neon sunrise
As if I close my eyes
I can dim the lights
Of a neon sunrise
Is the night-vision blinding me?
Words of wisdom lost on reality
Night-tripper, house of cards
Holding off the morning that might've been
It's me
The killer
The hanging tree
Staring at my hands and denying it
Neon, reasons
Running wild
The way you look is so incredible
And I feel like a ghost
Cause everything's just how I left it
Everything I was trying to change
Sitting like I'd never left it
Tell me now
Am I missing something?
As if I shield my face
From the cold, cold rays
Of a neon sunrise
As if I close my eyes
I can dim the lights
Of a neon sunrise
I feel like the ghost is overtaking me
Leaving me cold
Keeping me out
Leaving me out
And I feel like a ghost
Cause everything's just how I left it
Everything I was trying to change
Sitting like I'd never left it
Tell me now
Am I missing something?
As if I shield my face
From the cold, cold rays
Of a neon sunrise
As if I close my eyes
I can dim the lights
Of a neon sunrise
In the neon sunrise
Just give me something
In the neon sunrise
Just give me something.
09. Black Hole Of My Heart - Lyrics:
You'll wait for a miracle
So you can turn it inside out
You'll cut the umbilical
And float into the lion's mouth
Killer clown
Lost inside this hall of mirrors
Killer clown
It's the guilt that really kills you now
Welcome to the black hole of my heart
Where you float
Helpless through the black hole of my heart
And you float
Corroding old carousel
Your passengers are all long gone
Spinning a lonely tune
The only one you've ever known
Killer clown
Screaming at your own reflection
Killer clown
It's the guilt that really kills you now
Welcome to the black hole of my heart
Where you float
Helpless through the black hole of my heart
And you float
You can paint your face
But you know you're going to do it again
You can swear you've changed
But you know you're going to do it again
And again
Welcome to the black hole of my heart
Where you float
Helpless through the black hole of my heart
And you float
Welcome to the black hole
Of my heart
Welcome to the black hole
Of my heart (of my heart)
Where you float
Where you float.
10. Nightvision - Lyrics:
Black water
The thrill of the unknown
Blindfolded
Pulling me out overboard
Unspoken
But sitting inside all our words
Unfolding
The future from around my core
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Slow motion
I'm showing all my fears
Forgotten
Fingers running through her hair
And time
Has ceased to matter anymore
And time becomes imagined
Like shadows reaching out from the wall
Slowing down it almost
Stops...
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
A shot
Am I your ricochet?
Am I falling?
Am I your ricochet?
Where do we go from here?
(Am I falling)
(Am I your ricochet?)
Where do we go from here?
Am I falling?
Am I your ricochet?
11. Drag My Name Through The Mud - Lyrics:
Drag my name through the mud
Wipe me off your screen
Ye-eah-eaah
Wipe my name from the board
Drag me over the broken glass
Handing me the grenade
And keeping the pin
Ye-eah-eaah
Drag me over the coals
Taking over control of me
And now this dream becomes decay
Just waiting for the birds of prey
Drag my name through the mud
Go on and cut the cord
Ye-eah-eaah
Wrap me up in decay
Like a lovers embrace gone bad
Handing me the controls
And cutting the wires
Ye-eah-eaah
Running over my face
Like the hands of disgrace have done
And now this dream becomes decay
Just waiting for the birds of prey
And now your son becomes the sin
Just waiting for the birds of prey
(Birds of prey)
You look for signs of life
In the bones
Check your pulse (check your pulse)
(For signs)
(Check your pulse)
(Check your pulse)
(For signs)
Drag my name through the mud
And tie me up in chains
Ye-eah-eaah
Drag me through your parade
Bleeding over the broken glass
Woah-ohh
And now this dream becomes decay
Just waiting for the birds of prey
You dragged me through the mud
By my name
Dragged me across the coals by my name
You dragged me through the mud
By my name.
12. The Haunting Of Elinor Shaw - Instrumental.
13. Living The Crash - Lyrics:
As lucid as the dream
Where you wake behind the wheel
Strange that you should feel
Paralyzed
The dream where you can fly
And you rise above your hometown
And tell them they can keep
Their gravity
Are you wide awake?
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crash
Are you wide awake?
Born in the crossfire, living the crash
As lucid as the punch
You're throwing in slow-motion
A fist you cannot lift
A fight you cannot win
And would you really die
If you hit the bottom?
If the ground didn't wake you up
In the falling dream
Are you wide awake?
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crash
Are you wide awake?
Born in the crossfire, living the crash
Smashing your way through the looking-glass
Fantasy can still be razor-sharp...
For you
For you who wanted everything
For you who promised everything
Something followed you back
And woke up in the crash
Somehow, followed you out of your domain
Something followed you back
Out through the looking-glass
Somehow bringing a cloud of the surreal
Are you wide awake?
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crash
Are you wide awake?
Born in the crossfire, living the crash
Now are you
Are you wide awake now?
Now are you
Are you wide awake now?
(Are you wide awake now?)
Are you wide awake now?
14. After The War - Lyrics:
They say we won
But we lost so much
That all relief
Was bitter-sweet
It's hard to feel
You know the enemy
It's hard to feel
You live for anything
My mother said
Thank God you're home
But I never made
It back at all
And when you drag
Bodies through the mud
It's hard for God
To bless you with His love
Does he know you at all?
And does this 'God' of yours
Even know you at all?
To kill a man
Is as natural as
Falling in love
But fashionable
It's hard to feel
That I belong at home
It's hard to feel
Anything at all
Does he know you at all?
And does this 'God' of yours
Even know you at all?
Carrying faith
Out of the trench
Over my shoulder
Over and over
Over the crumbling walls
Of my innocence
And my savior
Does he know you at all?
And does this 'God' of yours
Even know you at all?
