    Lyrics

    No Such Thing
    Saw a world that was beautiful
    But the rain got in
    And ruined it all
    Then I tried to be invisible
    It was impossible
    Even for me
    Laughed at love
    It was a big mistake
    In the absence of
    I filled with hate
    Cause there’s
    No such thing as nothing
    No there’s no such thing as nothing
    I had the brains
    Not to think at all
    But the rain got in
    And I thought to hard
    On the world
    And as usual
    I saw to far
    Into the void
    I tried to make
    Everything meaningless
    But the rain got in
    And made it a mess
    Cause there’s
    No such thing as nothing
    No there’s no such thing as nothing
    There’s no such thing as nothing
    But my finger is on the trigger
    That will
    Turn off the world
    So what gives me the right
    To think that I could
    Throw away a life
    Even mine
    And what makes you believe
    That you should get away
    With getting on
    And overlooking me
    Maybe to lose
    Or to save your soul
    Is a choice of how
    You fill the hole
    Cause there’s
    No such thing as nothing
    No there’s no such thing as nothing
    There’s no such thing as nothing
    But my finger is on the trigger
    That will turn off the world
    Poison Eye
    I heard the sound bite
    I read your words right
    I saw the light
    I heard you singing
    I know your song
    It’s my turn to write
    I put this hook inside
    So you won’t soon forget
    I have the radar
    I can see so for
    With my poison eye
    My poison eye
    And when I look hard
    I see in the stars
    What you’ve done
    And what lies in wait for you
    And when I look down
    I see the ground
    I won’t make a sound
    I’ve only to look at you
    Inside the phone lines
    You think you’ll hide
    And you’ll bee alright
    You’re in my sight lines
    You will have no time
    Even to cry
    I see your pain
    I’ll see my face on your fear
    I have the radar
    I can see so far
    With my poison
    My poison eye
    And when I look hard
    I see in the stars
    What you’ve done
    And what lies in wait for you
    And when I look down
    I see the ground
    I won’t make a sound
    I’ve only to look at you
    I can see sparks
    Over a lake at midnight
    I see the smile
    Falling from your face
    But you’re in the dark
    You’re in a maze
    All you can do
    Is sit there and wait for me
    And I’m coming
    I know the low road
    I broke the code
    To breaking your heart
    I see the angles
    I draw the cards
    That burden you so
    I have the sight
    That follows you morning and night
    I have the radar
    I can see so far
    With my poison eye
    My poison eye
    My poison eye
    My poison eye
    Arms Around Your Love
    With his arms around your love
    Oh no here comes a pain
    That You can’t ignore
    With his arms around your girl
    He’ll do all of the things
    You didn’t do before
    You had every chance
    But you closed the door
    You’re just gonna have to face it
    As if you didn’t know
    She’s gonna make you pay for it
    A price you can’t afford
    You’re just gonna have to take it
    With his arms around your love
    Pretend that you don’t mind
    But you know everything
    That you left behind
    And would have been alright
    If you gave half of the praise
    That you held inside
    You thought she’d hang around for the ride
    You’re just gonna have to face it
    As if you didn’t know
    She’s gonna make you pay for it
    A price you can’t afford
    You’re just gonna have to take it
    With his arms around your love
    Coming clean feels so dangerous
    Just a little bit
    Would have been enough
    You never said all the words
    Caught in your head
    As if your heart was dead
    But now it’s surely bled and broken up
    You’re just gonna have to face it
    As if you didn’t know
    She’s gonna make you pay for it
    A price you can’t afford
    You’re just gonna have to take it
    With his arms around your love
    Safe and Sound
    Picture a time, when morning will come
    And you will wake up, without the feeling
    That half the world has gone insane
    You’ll open your eyes
    Reading your paper, a drink from your cup
    No one was burning down the town /
    While you were sleeping
    I’ve never seen but I believe
    In a promised land
    Why can’t we pull this together
    One and all, now and forever
    Why can’t we pull this together
    And we can say that we finally found a world around us
    Safe and sound
    Think of a place
    Where you could believe in whatever you want
    Not keep it secret
    Or risk your life just to be yourself
    A place where you walk
    Safely no matter your color or age
    More than the greed of you and me decides the fate of the day
    I’ve never seen but I believe
    In a promised land
    Why can’t we pull this together
    One and all, now and forever
    Why can’t we pull this together
    We can say that we finally found a world around us
    Safe and sound
    I’d rather see you set it free
    Than watch the curtains coming down
    Think of a life
    That won’t take the breath from somebody else
    One where you’re seeking
    More than yourself
    Safe and sound
    Why can’t we pull this together
    One and all, now and forever
    Why can’t we pull this together
    And we can say we finally found a world around us
    Safe and sound
    Why can’t we pull this together
    One and all, now and forever
    Why can’t we pull this together
    And we can say we finally found a world around us
    Safe and sound
    I’d rather see you set it free
    Than watch the curtains coming do
    She'll Never Be Your Man
    The a.m. finds me, home alone awake in bed
    Morning blinds me, I had that dream of you again
    The fog is lifting, I don’t realize that your not here and how you left me, life disappeared
    Life is rejection, I know you’ve had your share
    But this one’s special, I can’t compete with her
    And did she tell you
    Only she could know your mind
    And did she sell you, I gotta say it one time
    She can be your lover
    She can be your friend
    She can be your vision of a mother
    Like the one you never had
    She will know your troubles better than I can
    But she’ll never be your man
    She’s got you thinking, of a world that you might fit in
    A whole lot better, than the one you’ve been living in
    Did she tell you, only she could understand
    And did she sell you, only time will tell
    She can be your lover
    She can be your friend
    She can be your vision of a mother
    Like the one you never had
    She will know your troubles better than I can
    But she’ll never be yourman
    She can be your lover
    She can be your friend
    She can be your vision of a mother
    Like the one you never had
    She will know your troubles better than I can
    Yeah but one things for sure
    She’ll never be your man
    Ghosts
    I know what you’re looking for
    You’ve looked in these eyes before
    And all you saw was blue-green water
    Searching for a mirror
    That would show the world
    Not who you are
    But who you want to be
    And you thought that you found that one in me
    Well it’s been a long time
    Since I heard that name
    He doesn’t live here anymore
    Don’t know where he’s residing
    You can wait here if you want
    But I don’t think he’s coming back
    He doesn’t live here anymore
    I’m sure you found the right place
    Same address you knew before
    But that won’t change what lies behind the door
    And what lies underneath
    Has to change
    From the inside out
    He doesn’t live here anymore
    Don’t know where he’s residing
    I think it’s better if you don’t
    Cause I don’t want him coming back
    And yes I know the name sounds a little bit familiar
    Like a melody to a dream
    And yes I know he wore the same face, the same clothes
    But that was so long ago
    I know who you want to find
    Somewhere is the memory
    Of somebody I left behind
    So lets take it all in stride
    Hey, its that time
    To say goodbye
    He doesn’t live here anymore
    Hey
    Killing Birds
    Learned long ago
    About a better way
    Of killing birds
    And what it means
    When they die in my hands
    Like a strangled heart
    It never made much sense to me
    Why I’d need to know
    The best way to do that
    But you have to love
    The murderer I’ve become
    As I’m standing here in front of you
    Standing right in front of you
    Standing right in front of you
    Killing birds
    I spent my youth
    Breaking down the walls
    My father built
    Just like he did
    To his father before him
    Then I had no home
    So I tried to make a better one
    It looked just like his
    So I burned it down again
    Another in a long
    Parade of idiots
    Standing here in front of you
    Standing here in front of you
    Standing here in front of you
    Killing birds
    You don’t have to love
    The murderer I’ve become
    If I had a web
    I could sit and wait for you
    Wouldn’t need a stone
    I’d just poison you
    And tie you up
    And you would be a bird
    A beautiful crested one
    And your eyes would beg
    But I’m just doing my job
    Standing here in front of you
    Standing here in front of you
    Standing here in front of you
    Killing birds
    Billie Jean
    She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
    I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
    Who will dance on the floor in the round
    She says I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
    She said her name was Billie Jean, and she caused a scene
    And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
    Who will dance on the floor in the round
    People always told me be careful what you do
    Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
    Momma always told me be careful who you love
    Be careful what you do before the lie becomes the truth
    Billie Jean is not my lover
    She's just a girl who says that I am the one
    But the kid is not my son
    She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
    For forty days and forty nights
    The law was on her side
    And who could stand when she's in demand
    Her schemes and her plans
    'Cause we dance on the floor in the round
    So take my strong advice, and remember to always think twice
    Do think twice
    She told my baby that we'd danced till three
    She looked at me, showed a photo
    My baby cried, his eyes were like mine
    Cause we danced on the floor in the round
    People always told me be careful what you do
    Don’t go around breaking young girls' hearts
    Then she stood right by me
    The smell of sweet perfume
    This happened much too soon
    When she called me to her room
    Scar On The Sky
    As I fall I leave a scar upon the sky
    A simple note for you I wait for your reply
    And in your answer I regain my will to try
    So hover in the diving light
    And we will rip the night
    Out of the arms of the sun
    One more time
    Close your eyes and we will fly
    Above the crowded sky
    And over the dumbstruck world we will run
    In these hills they wash the gold and graves away
    To the valley under all of this I lay
    And there you dig me out unearthed and saved
    So hover in the diving light
    And we will rip the night
    Out of the arms of the sun
    One more time
    Close your eyes and we will fly
    Above the crowded sky
    And over the dumbstruck world we will run
    We can rip the night, out of the arms of the sun
    A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand
    No longer stranded like a painted bird on a fan
    So hover in the diving light
    And we will rip the night
    Out of the arms of the sun
    One more time
    Close your eyes and we will fly
    Above the crowded sky
    And over the dumbstruck world we will run
    We can rip the night, out of the arms of the sun
    Your Soul Today
    Sleeping on the road that takes you home
    Howling at the moon at midnight
    I want the wrong that sets you right
    I’ll be praying at your bedside

    I won’t burden your heart
    So don’t worry your head
    If you don’t want a soulmate
    I’m your soul today
    Hanging on a rope from a burning tree
    Standing on a broken headstone
    Bleeding form an old wound
    Swimming in a fever
    Waiting for a resurrection
    I know it’s a miracle I’ve lived this long
    I don’t want to give the wrong impression
    But I’ve come so far
    Can I visit your arms
    Can I visit your legs
    I won’t need your insults or praise
    I won’t burden your heart
    So don’t worry your head
    If you don’t want a soulmate
    I’m your soul today
    Sleeping on the road that takes you home
    Howling at the moon at midnight
    I want the wrong that sets you righht
    I’ll be praying at your bedside
    How long I’ve been a soul in the gutter
    Can I visit your arms

    I won’t need your insults or praise
    I won’t burden your heart
    So don’t worry your head

    Finally Forever
    On a sullen night so out of place.
    I almost lost my nerve.
    When I saw you walk into my space.
    A woman like you, I could not replace.
    And it took some patience to catch your eye.
    And patience to win your heart.
    And now it feels like.
    I don’t have to worry at all.
    It’s finally forever.
    There’s no hill I would not climb for you.
    No bridge I wouldn’t cross.
    Not a moment passes in my life.
    That you’re not on my mind.
    Together or apart.
    And it took some patience to catch your eye.
    And patience to win your heart.
    And now it feels like.
    I don’t have to worry at all.
    It’s finally forever.
    Anytime you’re lost,
    Anywhere you’re found.
    Anytime you want, I will be around.
    Anywhere you sleep, Anywhere you stand.
    Anytime you fall, Anywhere you land.
    Even if you break, Anytime I can.
    I will be there for you, I know.
    That you’ll understand, You’ll understand.
    Now I never would have imagined this.
    So I thank my lucky stars.
    As I see you in your wedding dress.
    Never would have guessed.
    You’d fill my open arms.
    And it took some patience to catch your eye.
    And patience to win your heart.
    And now it feels like.
    I don’t have to worry at all.
    It’s finally forever.
    Silence
    They’re the soldiers, In the sunlight.
    Kill the center of a man, Endless suicide.
    By the night light, Infrared sky.
    Is the holstered bridled child spinning around the flames.
    Each is loved now, And all remembered.
    For the mask they wore years before the future.
    And the horse falls, In the smoke filled riot.
    The center of a child grows a new disguise.
    And where are the songs from the sane minds.
    And where are the words from the sound mouths.
    I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
    That say no.
    It’s a new day, In the old life.
    He looks healthy with a tan on a white sheet.
    Across the table, Where the blood dries.
    Where infinity will greet these filthy confines.
    And where are the songs from the sane minds.
    And where are the words from the sound mouths.
    I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
    That say no.
    That say no.
    It’s a new day, In the old life.
    In the silence, Of the abscess.
    And where are the songs from the sane minds.
    And where are the words from the sound mouths.
    I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
    That say no.
    I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
    Disappearing Act
    Come on now the curtain is drawn
    And tomorrow stands before you
    Dressed and draped in a cold black cape like a crow
    He ignores you
    Look again there’s a beautiful girl
    Covers sin in a holy land shroud
    It’s the great disappearing act
    Done once again for the marveled crowd
    As we’re chasing our tails
    And biting our nails
    So strong and frail
    And we build and tear it down
    Build and tear it down
    Build and tear it down
    With barely the time to say
    How did it get so late
    I’ll never know
    Step outside and now the doors open wide
    And the minions are eager to find him
    Put a million miles under your heals
    And your’re still behind him
    Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
    While the seasons get hotter and colder
    Stretch your faces and lie about your ages
    And still your going to get older
    As we’re chasing our tails
    And biting our nails
    So strong and frail
    And we build and tear it down
    Build and tear it down
    Build and tear it down
    With barely the time to say
    How did it get so late
    I’ll never know
    I’ll never know
    I’ll never know
    Hang on ‘til your fingers break
    And your hands unwind
    He will escape you every time
    From under your pillows
    Through open windows
    And out on the rails
    As we build and tear it down
    Build and tear it down
    Build and tear it down
    With barely the time to say
    How did it get so late
    I’ll never know
    I’ll never know
    I’ll never know
    You Know My Name
    If you take a life, do you know what you’ll give?
    Odds are you wont like what it is
    When the storm arrives would you be seen with me?
    By the merciless eyes I’ve deceived
    I’ve seen angels fall from blinding heights
    But you yourself are nothing so divine
    Just next in line
    Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
    The odds will betray you and I will replace you
    You can’t deny the prize it may never fulfill you
    It longs to kill you …are you willing to die?
    The coldest blood runs through my veins
    You know my name
    If you come inside things will not be the same
    When you return to the night
    If you think you’ve won you never saw me change
    The game that we’ve been playing
    I’ve seen this diamond cut through harder men
    Than you yourself, but if you must pretend
    You may meet your end
    Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
    The odds will betray you and I will replace you
    You cant deny the prize it may never fulfill you
    It longs to kill you …are you willing to die?
    The coldest blood runs through my veins
    You know my name
    Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel
    Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
    Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
    The odds will betray you and I will replace you
    You cant deny the prize it may never fulfill you
    It longs to kill you …are you willing to die?
    The coldest blood runs through my veins
    You know my name
