Drowned cities
04:11
|
|||
Black water rushing in
Overwhelming, once again.
Solid grounding swept away
Drift by night and drift by day
Endless ripples spreading wide
Can’t push against the constant tide
Relentless cycle of ebb and flow
We’re taken where the currents go
Surface shimmer like molten wax
Creeping and seeping into the cracks
Living out liquid rituals
We’re stranded in the drowning pools
These drowned cities
These drowned cities
Hide memories of memories
These drowned cities haunt my dreams

Feed your addiction
03:27
|
|||
You need me more than I need you
Do everything I tell you to
I push the buttons
I push the buttons
And I tighten the screw
You want this so much more than me
I’ll walk away so easily
I push the buttons
I push the buttons
And I hold the key
I’ll feed your addiction
And starve you of affection
I’ll feed your addiction
And starve you of affection
I could have so much more than this
Sealed fate, a traitors kiss
I push the buttons
I push the buttons
And I brandish the whip
I’ll feed your addiction
And starve you of affection
I’ll feed your addiction
And starve you of affection

Empire of wolves
03:54
|
|||
Concealed by night the shadows come
Take you by surprise
Slash your throats one by one by one
There’s bloodlust in our eyes
With hackles raised and shining fangs
My empire’s on the prowl
Watching over conquered lands
We’re the strong one’s now
We’re the strong one’s now
An army’s no match for my empire of wolves
And surrender will get you nowhere
I don’t intend to play by the rules
I savour the spoils of warfare
When met with resistance we counter with force
In numbers lies our strength
One day you will face our wars
You just don’t know when
Closer now we’re on your trail
Drawing ever near
Closer as the sun grows pale
Feeding off your fear
Feeding off your fear
An army’s no match for my empire of wolves
And surrender will get you nowhere
I don’t intend to play by the rules
I savour the spoils of warfare
Now we sit upon the dunes
Watching tidal pulls
And silently salute the moon
My empire of wolves
An army’s no match for my empire of wolves
And surrender will get you nowhere
I don’t intend to play by the rules
I savour the spoils of warfare

Proximity
04:45
|
|||
Closer, come closer come close to me
I want to take you in
Feeding off your energy
Wanting you all over me
I need your, I want your, I need your, I want your
Proximity
This is simple chemistry
Wasn’t made to choose
Waves of electricity
You and I in synergy
I need your, I want your, I need your, I want your
Proximity
Can’t escape from destiny
It always comes to this
For all that they keep telling me
Can’t erase my memory
I need your, I want your, I need your, I want your
Proximity

After the flood
05:10
|
|||
If the message has no sender
Communication’s lost
No one to hear an answer
Just echoes of the past
There’s no control at all
There’s no control at all
With no one to remember
Truth is lost
Who is the inventor
Of all these things that didn’t last
There’s no control at all
There’s no control at all
On the edge just looking in
Watching as all hopes are fading
Flesh and blood and broken bones
How am I the one to change things
No control at all
There’s no control at all
(of all these things that didn’t last)

Damaged software
04:36
|
|||
Torn from the solace of nightmares
I awake to real fears
I’m damaged software and I need to sleep for years
Drawn from the arms of denial to face reality
I’m damaged software with selective memory
Swept from the comfort of stasis
Watch my safety net dissolve
I’m damaged software
I don’t know how to evolve
Turn auto-pilot on
Drift aimlessly
Pre-programmed shutdown as the void envelops me
You tried to control me but failed to show me a better direction
Instead you propelled me on a journey of self correction

The leopard
03:54
|
|||
Leopard, leopard burning bright
Fiery halo, flame delight
Sultry eyes burned through my soul
Dangerous and rimmed with kohl
I’m stunned by her hypnotic gaze
Her predatory feline ways
Watch her move with poise and grace
Seeking pleasure in the chase
I feel my heartbeat race and surge
As I face her camouflage
So in awe it’s hard to think
I love, I love her leopard print
I am her perpetual prey
Captivated day by day
She the hunter, I the game
In her shadow, I am tame
I feel my heartbeat race and surge
As I face her camouflage
So in awe it’s hard to think
I love, I love her leopard print
She’s the only thing I see
Rapt as she approaches me
I will be the centre-piece
Of her Sapphic feast
I feel my heartbeat race and surge
As I face her camouflage
So in awe it’s hard to think
I love, I love her…
I feel my heartbeat race and surge
As I face her camouflage
So in awe it’s hard to think
I love, I love her…
Leopard print

Tore myself to pieces
04:38
|
|||
Tore myself to pieces cos there's nothing else to do
I'd put myself together but I can't remember how to
Broken and Battered, I'm tattered and torn
Put myself together but I can't remember where I've gone
Tore myself to pieces as the cracks begin to show
Put myself together but the cracks still seem to grow
Broken and Battered, I'm tattered and torn
Put myself together but I can't remember where I've gone
Tore myself to pieces as I'm bound to fall apart
Put myself together but i don't know where to start
Broken and Battered, I'm tattered and torn
Put myself together but I can't remember where I've gone
I'm falling apart

A distance
03:32
|
|||
A distance
Warps perception
Everything changes
No nothing for sure
Fragmented
Fragile and fleeting
I throw myself in
Cast free from before
Falling
What if it’s endless
Dreaming of distance
Distance… forevermore
Alarms sound
Sirens scream

Nothing
04:49
|
|||
Nothing
Nothing as far as I can see
Nothing
Still in the shadows, they shelter me
Silence
Sharing this solitude
Silence
But for the heartbeat of me and you
Oblivion
There is a place where our paths are clear
We will always find our way back here
Oblivion
Wanting oblivion with reckless abandon

Deep red
07:14
|
|||
You joined the devil’s dances
Took a chance on second chances
No more to say
The shadows are darkest on the brightest day
The shadows are darkest on the brightest day
You were so easily corrupted
Now my heard lies wounded
(alt now I stand here wounded)
No way to choose
The feelings are strongest when there's more to lose
The feelings are strongest when there's more to lose
As I was watching dawn
You saw a sun down
Different hues of Deep Red
Love and pain
Are interlaced again
Different views of Deep Red
