      Lyrics

      And I saw right through

      And though I knew

      You know it suits me well

      I wait for you

      I dream about you

      You know it suits me well

      Bound by your leaving

      I’d since forgotten

      I knew it then

      But then I closed my mind

      To truth, the awful

      The awful words

      You know my hands are tied

      Bound by your leaving

      You know my hands are tied

      Wishing you were by my side

      You know it suits me well

      Bound by your leaving

      You know my hands are tied

      Wishing you were by my side

      Well it seems to show

      Only when I’m alone

      All alone

      Only when I’m all alone

      It suits me well

      Lyrics

      Hiding behind my hair today

      My eyes dance with fire

      The thought of living here

      And the bounds I transpire

      Walking in this slow-motion town

      I seem to think so fast

      Standing with your mannequin

      I try to hold my breath

      The grave that bears my name

      Transpires in a dream

      I dream immortality

      Yet I fall in vain

      Cause as long as I don't breathe

      I'll never be like them

      Standing with your mannequin

      I try to hold my breath

      If you go and I would stay

      And you would call my name

      I would cry, yes, I would cry

      Walking in or walking out

      Is the same as talking about my heart

      My heart

      Hiding behind my hair today

      Wishing I was far away

      Walking in this slow-motion town

      I seem to think so fast

      Standing with your mannequin

      I try to hold my breath

      If you go and I would stay

      And you would call my name

      I would cry, yes, I would cry

      Walking in or walking out

      Is the same as talking about my heart

      My heart

      If you go and I would stay

      And you would call my name

      I would cry, yes, I would cry

      If you go and I would stay

      You would call my name

      I would die, yes, I would die

      Walking in or walking out

      Is the same as talking about my heart

      My heart

      Lyrics

      Open up your heart
      And let your demons out
      Open up your heart
      And let your demons out
      I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for you
      I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting
      Yes it’s true
      Gather up your words
      And realize your worth
      Gather up your words
      And celebrate this birth
      I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for you
      I’ve been waiting, hesitating
      Yes it’s true
      I can’t throw it away
      I can’t for another holiday
      I can’t throw it away
      I can’t for another holiday
      Open up your heart
      Open up your heart
      I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for you
      Hesitating-tating, waiting for you
      I can’t throw it away
      I can’t for another holiday
      I can’t throw it away
      I can’t for another holiday
      I can’t throw it away
      I can’t for another holiday
      I can’t throw it away
      I can’t for another holiday
      For another holiday
      For another, another holiday

      Lyrics

      Rushing words through sound that’s
      Killing words through pain
      Question indecision
      Rules that we’ll break
      The end no more’s a teacher
      On his knees
      A splinter in Jehovah
      Too hopeless, I’m weak
      Caution wanes and strengthens
      As djehoti speaks
      Through spittle and goliath
      Protector of me
      Misfortune crash you down
      Tugging you to the sea
      Misfortune stops your heart
      Only to heal
      Hang me on a cross now
      Hang me on a dream
      Hang me on my cross to bear
      Hang me on a seam
      Hang me on my cross now
      Hang me on a dream
      Hang me on my cross to bear
      Hang me on a seam

      Lyrics

      To taste my fear
      Summon up your demons, dear
      I left you open
      Wondering
      When you lie to break my heart
      My dahlia
      My dahlia, dear
      My dahlia
      My dahlia, dear
      I breathe in shade
      Fluent in the choices made
      My words, my summons
      Say I dare
      When you lie to break my heart
      When you lie, I’ll break, I’ll break, to break
      My dahlia
      My dahlia, dear
      My dahlia
      My dahlia, dear
      Anyone can see
      You’re laughing down at me
      It’s easy for you now
      No room for kings
      Queens are what we gather here
      I left you open
      Wondering
      When you lie to break my heart
      When you lie, I’ll break, I’ll break, to break
      My dahlia
      My dahlia, dear
      My dahlia
      My dahlia, dear
      Anyone can see
      You’re laughing down at me
      It’s easy for you now

      Lyrics

      Quiet walls sputter yes
      Rolling tears of pain
      Must I go into your hiding room
      Using your loss to gain
      Walking in the sun
      I never fear the light
      Walking in the sun
      I never fear
      Quiet confusion haunts me still
      My will can’t reign
      Must I go into your hiding room
      Using your loss to gain
      Walking in the sun
      I never fear the light
      Walking in the sun
      I’ll know that I never fear
      Walking in the sun
      I never fear the light
      Walking in my sun
      I know that I never fear

      Lyrics

      Armed to the teeth
      With everyone you meet
      They are taxes at the door(?)
      Are we
      Settled on the beat
      They are honored on the floor
      On and on
      On and on and on and on and on and on and on
      Settled on the sheets
      With everyone you meet
      They are on honored on the floor
      Are we
      Settled on the beat
      They are honored on the floor
      On and on
      On and on and on and on and on and on and on
      Armed to the teeth
      With everyone you meet
      They are taxes at your door (?)
      Are we
      Settled on the beat
      They are honoured on the floor
      It’s my party
      It’s my party and I’ll go if I want
      On and on
      On and on and on and on and on and on and on
