1. I Am The Night, Colour Me Black
I know where you were born
I know it's you
I'll wait for weeks to find out
That nothing's true
And I'll wait too long
You had it all before
I noticed you
And now your wildest dreams are falling through
So I'll wait
And you'll wait for me
Unlock the door
I want the truth 'cause
If it's exactly what it claims to be then it may just set me free
I know where you were born
I know it's you
Your tiny hands were cold
But I wanted you anyway
Back to the sea
O simple life I've known
Come back to me
And I'll wait
I'll shed this human form and I'll walk away
The night controls me now and that's where I'll stay
And I'll waste away but I'll make sure you don't
2. Lay Down
Lay down, sleep my little darling
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down just like in a coffin
Then I'll have nothing but a song
Could I leave you in a coffin for real
And just leave you in a church
Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
Lay down, this pain will be long gone
With the absence of your breath
I know that you loved me
But I can't love you when you're dead
So I'll leave you in that coffin for God
And I'll leave you in the dirt
Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down before me
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
3. Run Home
I fell for the company girl
And it leaves me in charge
She don't pay what the salary will
And no company car
And it hurts when it pounds along with this heartbeat.
Well it's taking its toll, but it won't for very long
I'll run home, I'm gone
Back to the factory wheel
Believe me I'm in charge
I fell back on a factory girl
But they take me apart
And it hurts when they pound along with this heartbeat.
And if I leave it this way, then it won't be there at all
I'm back to the factory wheel
And it keeps me coming home
It takes me apart
And it hurts when it pounds with this heart, so I'll run home, I'm gone
4. Two Kids
Two kids found dead in the water
Beside each other
I don't think they drowned
Ring up the mother and father
From the gutter
They didn't want kids around
Hell no I ain't on your side
But I'm sticking around until I die
Feeling bad 'cause you bought her and then sold her
To the order
Of caring takes too much time
If you want some weight on your shoulders
Create a border
I'd rather be blind
5. Talk to Her
Talk to her, don't leave her behind
You shut her out for too long
I know, 'cause I've seen her cry
If you keep her down she'll get up and move on
Wake up it's time
Open your eyes
You've got to let her know
Stop wasting time
Make up your mind
Love her or let her go
Talk to her, you've done something wrong
We've all got something to hide
But don't turn your back for too long
There'll always be somebody waiting in line
I could be all that she wants
Got a heart, got a home, got a hand for her to hold
Talk to her, there's something you'll find
With all this pain that you caused
You'll be the loser this time
And I'll be the one with the girl that you lost
Believe me she's leaving
And I'll be the one, look what you lost
6. Time Will Cut You Down
That face I saw and thought of love
Is gone.
And if you thought you'd end on top
You're wrong
You'll realize when I'm standing over you
Time will cut you down
Time will steer your path from your precious dreams
And I won't be around
No souvenirs or guilty tears
Or anything
My trust is lost and it will cost
You everything
There's a lot of lies but I'll tell you one thing that's true
Make no mistake, the hearts you break
Grow strong
I know this shame will bring you pain
So long
I know this memory will haunt you 'till the end
7. Everything That You Are
Lights out in your room
Lights out in your car you gotta hit the ground running
Lights out in the streets where I walked
To carry you home and there's no way ou
I know you fell asleep, pray you don't sleep where you are now you're
all alone
I know you were led by a dark hand
And I'll wait for the morning
I'll trade in all my blood
For everything that you are
What I found is the truth
What I found is enough you gotta keep on running
What I found in the room was my love
All eaten up and you're all alone
I know that you escaped, Cenobites sound the alarm and there's no way out
I know you were led by a dark hand
Lights out in your room
Lights out in the sky you gotta hit the ground running
Lights out in the head that you wore
As a disguise and then you'll die alone
I know they took you back, spitting out chains from the wall you know
there's no way out
I know you were led by a dark hand
8. The Shakes
When I don't call and you wait
I guess it seems I'm abominable
Then I'm late and I sleep in
I feel like a criminal
Late at night, we're in bed
I can be like a dog
The heating's off, and you're warm
I don't feel like catching a cold
In any case, you don't care
You don't feel like rubbing it in
When I'm outside in the pouring rain
I know you'll let me in
I give you all that I got
You never have to ask
You give me love and I know that it's
The best I'll ever have, and that's why
Hey my babe
I can't sleep when you're not in town
Hope that you know
I get the shakes when you're not around
In my window
You see a sad pathetic clown
I want you to know
I get the shakes when you're not around
Now it's you and it's me
Lyrics
I can't believe we've been alone
Spread apart sharing laughs and tears
Over the telephone
Said and done, set in stone,
You've given me another chance
A thousand miles or one inch
Doesn't make a difference
9. Performance
Some say happiness is a burden
As I lie here trying to attain
Inside outside I'm nothing
But the more I see through the more I have to gain.
If at first you don't succeed it's normal.
But the second time you're expected to perform.
We perform,
Stand up, listen, I'll tell you where we went wrong.
Give me a reason to stop asking
I know that some things can't be mine
Inside outside I'm nothing
And the layers crumble one piece at a time.
If you expect me to go out there and shine every night
You know there's something about that that just isn't right
We perform
Stand up, listen, I'll tell you where we went wrong
10. Living Like a Dog
When I'm alone I roll in my limited hold
When I'm alone I roll and my limit is gone
Well I've been living like it's high
Do what my heartbeat warns
When my wager is high
Well I've been high before
And you can't stop me on my roll
I was a lonely one, and I'm down on my own
Out in the morning sun and I'm down to the bone
And I've been living like a dog
Do what my heartbeat warns
When my wager is high
Well I've been high before
And you can't stop me on my roll
We did one thing right and we left it alone
We did one thing wrong and it's often at home
And I've been livid, hot and high
I've been a lonely one
Never waited before
But I've been high before
And you can't stop me on my roll
11. No Real Pain
Waiting on a call to start your day
Waiting for a clever thing to say
I say nothing that I really feel
Work and hope that there's a chance to play
Money's great until it slips away
Well you know that pride's a wheel
And I've been dwelling in the ditch for years
But I can't complain
I can't complain
'Cause there's no real pain
I've known loads of friends who went insane
I've seen many lives go down the drain
I've got buddies who've sold their souls and it hurts
I've even seen death before
But I can't complain
12. Blood
You wanted to take your time with him
You wanted to suck his blood
But before you can rip into his veins
You'd better take the reins
'Cause he's riding into the sun
Since it's been going on
You know there's something wrong
It all started because
She wants to drain his blood
It's far too late to hesitate
To hard to part
Just drive it through her heart
'Cause if you can't
She's got you in her hand
'Cause he's riding into the sun
