1. Yours Truly
I want to know you're broken for the path you've chosen
I want to know you're reaping what you have sown
and I'll give you more than you've ever wanted
faithful forever, with these words I promise
you want it, you got it - it's all for real
I want to know you're breathing for the day of morrow
I want to know you'll suffer to rest in peace
and I've given more than you've ever wished for
forever faithful, with these words I promise
you want it, you got it it's all for real
it's all for real - let it go
2. Belly Up
ghost dancer, I hear you
circle my heart in yours
I'm seeking your presence
in hope of dreams come true
on subways, train stations
I'll save the night for you
you're acting, role-playing
and swimming in my head
you'll burn me down
a wish away
you've burned me down
I'll travel forever
in you I'll find my home
and silence is broken
your name has found my tongue
these moments of madness
have turned my joy to shame
you'll burn me down
a wish away
you've burned me down
3. Decade
in the right moment she feels him teething
burn the pictures of days gone by
trade this moment for passing pleasure
end the hour with even scores
in the right moment the candles burning
hide the question in one more thought
with submission you find devotion
save my soul with sudden good-byes
falling...
in the right moment the dial tone comforts
find your peace beneath tainted sheets
exchange values for self-indulgence
cross your heart with fleeting dreams
falling...
judges feasting on shame
sever passions on end
children weeping for one
vacant, denied
in the right moment the story's ending
try your soul on another page
and time opens your best kept secrets
plead the fifth now before you lie
in the right moment you play you
in the right moment you slay you
in the right moment you sell you
in the right moment i save you
a decade late...
4. K-9
hold this sanity within your hands
demons tease and migrate, soar on wings
but you my guardian angel pull me through
stay, darling - giving up, giving in, kiss your lover
nylon barricades and window soul
red cross meetings daily ground this root
clever thoughts like you and me make us
stay, darling - giving up, giving in, kiss your lover
stay - I'll find you home - be not far from me
roll the stone, the sun has brought the day
cradle nothing in the arms of peace
break time, lather, ointments aren't healing
5. Set the Stage
you found me
once again ground into spores
your lipstick matches your dark intentions
pull off the script for a time
for spotlight banners will soon be dawning
and now the curtain will rise
you found me
I let you go...you're on
tomorrow hinges on words
taste, touch, and tease your way through the door
court jesters fall to their graves
fair maiden, exit the scene of my world
and now the curtain will fall
you found me
I let you go...you're on
6. Heaven in a Letter Bomb
take it away and flaunt it
I fed your body
you robbed my home
you'll stop for coffee
I'll leave you bones
take it away and flaunt it
I played your game
I called you brother
you chained my hope
you'll send a letter
I'll take your throne
I played your game
take it away and flaunt it
7. Season's End
send me over...taste the day
blink in fragments...and gone away
captured moments...hold the frame
mold me, build me, lead me on
i'm only growing older
bond through body...for all days
scars are stories...read the pain
joy and sorrow...with the sun
thanks forever...to the grave
mold me, build me, lead me on
i'm only growing older
8. Binge and Purge
he found a wrist and cut his meter
Mary sings only sweet and low
blow a kiss for headstone martyrs
taking the blame - I'm letting go, I knew that I'd give in
bring the ax upon their notions
paper money is your soul
break the chains, the rope is swinging
taking the blame - I'm letting go, I knew that I'd give in
I'm fasting, you're cheating, turn me over
a thousand times good-bye, be lonely
a caffeine rush for tears of joy
I'll carve the beef and spare you later
9. Moving On
you let me go...warmly
turned my back...growing
and setting out...boldly
I'm making up for lost time
coming home
and I swear it's true
I need you
so take me back...hoping
abandon ship...learning
drop my guns...open
tear my core...broken
I'm making up for lost time
coming home
don't break my neck
hold your own
drink in deep, cherish breath, moving on
and I swear it's true
I need you
and you swear it's true
we're never through
build this up...stronger
hold you close...always
10. Cruise Control
You're running on empty
Biding your time
Slowly drifting
I'll forget to smile
Fade away
No one's grieving
We'll go our way
You're losing direction
And stoning your friends
Be strong, traitor
I'm turning you off
