I thought I heard your voice coming from outside Or rather, it would've been yours if you were still alive The world has grown so small, my vision field decreased The sounds have grown too soft - you're in my mind, at least The voice I heard rose higher - up into the air I tried to ride it up, into the void I stared Your ghost appears beside me, I try to hold it tight Then you disappeared, I move into the light Take the pain away Watching the sunrise one last time I'll see you again some day Now it's time I found a place in line Take my thoughts away Watching the sunrise until my eyes are sore In my mind you stay Take it all until I'm nothing more Every now and then, I see you in my mind Time and time again, I feel your hand touch mine Back when you were here, I felt like I belonged Wrapped inside your arms, but that is since long gone I try to break outside when memories creep in I find then I am trapped, tied to my past sin And so I stay here shackled, held against my mind And still I search for peace from you I've yet to find Take the pain away Watching the sunrise one last time I'll see you again some day Now it's time I found a place in line Take my thoughts away Watching the sunrise until my eyes are sore In my mind you stay Take it all until I'm nothing more

I saw your face back then, back when I wasn't dead - inside or out I wanted to hold your waist, pressed against you face-to-face, but not invade your space But I never said it aloud, I never made a sound, I let silence speak for me Instead, your phone rang - a song from some game played as you responded to your messages I haven't been outside, so maybe I wouldn't know, but I think the rain's been falling for a while I wrote you A Little Song, but it ended being quite long, so I decided to delete it then What's left will go undone, flown up into the sun, now I hold your cold embers Still gone and left alone, again I hear your phone, it sounded as a ringing in my head I thought I heard you say things would never stay the same I wanted to hear my shame juxtaposed to you I wanted you to know what I told you so I needed you to understand: I died out in the snow

I turn around to face the sun - I find that I'm still standing alone I drop my hand beside my thigh, I see that now I'm still dead and still gone I picture you upon the sea - up on that mesh of caustic saline I slip away beneath the leaves, into the land that lies underneath Get in between us... Get in to see us, then leave us be You bow yourself before God, but cuffs and chains won't set you free I can't believe this, that way you look - I've seen before We disconnect from our lives, so here we're equals on the dancefloor I find myself beneath the storm, eaten alive by your many forms I tune you in, signal to snow... Catching sounds grown long and forlorn So long, I send my life away... I see the holes myself I have made The truth lies low among the worms... The body dies, a new one is born Get in between us... Get in to see us, then leave us be You bow yourself before God, but cuffs and chains won't set you free I can't believe this, that way you look - I've seen before We disconnect from our lives, so here we're equals on the dancefloor

Art is my weapon I see it in your eyes The dividing line Which separates us from our kind Bring me the children Line them up in rows So I can feel the wind As through my ears the whistle blows What are you scared of? You're scared you'll never look back Out upon the scene now where the Sky turns to black Now can I tell you You gross subhuman trash What you need to hear So don't hold me from forth the ash Come on! I know you hear me! Come on! I know you fear me! Come on! I know you want me! Come on! I see you with me! (Come on, I know you want to be here to Tell us all what to do! Do what to! I'll tell you what, you stay in there and Wait 'til you turn to sand where you stand I'll let 'em know you rot from the inside Because you bottled up then untied Then out through art I see all here left Scream all of what you felt in bass clef) This will be the end of me Art is my weapon Hello, again, my friend Here I talk to you as though You know I know the end Fell out the airwaves Fell into cold accord So as I move through chords I let you Know my feelings towards How does this suit you? A suitor tie and knot What you'd been expecting as if I had lied and fought And at last I tell you By means of voice echoed How much of love I felt For you sometime ago Come on! I know you hear me! Come on! I know you fear me! Come on! I know you want me! Come on! I see you with me! (All that I know, all that I feel for you Is all I put you through! Put through you! And so I sit to write what I feel At first what seems ideal: sex appeal I feel in my throat something comes rising Writhing, twisting it through black lightning I sing it out above a bad cadence As you too would put it through art thence) This will be the end of me Art is my weapon, or is it a means to my end?

So it's come to this - the ancient desire's dread Brought on to curb the loss of your fellow man A man in love with hate - dawn, come back again I see the light break through, drawn within your hands No, no it's not okay to Release your moral decay No, no it's not alright with me to Cause pain and suffering Hide your face, become all that I need I spread my ashes out, thrown across the sea We breathe the fumes of this hate machine But then we see it was wrought by you and me So, so it's here we stand, it's Longingly drawn in the sand Now, who are you fighting for? Stand Close behind closed doors Son it seems you've spilt your paint on your face And now it seems you want to leave the human race Where did I go so very wrong? Your time is now, you'll be gone before long Though, though as one we are Doesn't it just seem so bizarre? And as I've seen by some I hate what I've become

Wipe the tears from your face Jettisoned into space The wind is coming down Don't you hear a sound? The Hellfire's in your head But that's not what I said I said I loved you too Can you hear it now? But the blood's rising in me The blood's pooling in the streets Your eyes' gaze slowly froze Hold me close Ten years down the line Will we still see sunshine? I hold my arms around you Tell me lies Twist the ties 'round your waist Press my lips towards your face I reign my heart's outpour Leave, and close the door The fall took you away But here with me you still say The changes took my life I run out toward the light But I see your face contort I turn back, run to my consort Love will set us free So I believe Twist my hand around Make me fall to the ground My heart pumps oils now I am gone But the blood's rising in me The blood's pooling in the streets Your eyes' gaze slowly froze Hold me close Ten years down the line Will we still see sunshine? I hold my arms around you Tell me lies

I sent you a letter wishing you better, but as soon as our eyes met you turned to the fetters You called me up one day asking me where you'd stay, but I turned you around - no, I turned you away I haven't been outside, so maybe I wouldn't know, but I heard you all'd been left in the snow I'm tired of all these clichés used in lieu of what I'd say, but It's the best I could do at the end of the day Those urban days have been wasting away And now it really shows; where did you go? Where did you go? The science halls have hollow walls, but I switched it off before you could finish the song And so again I appear in a blaze of anxiety and fear at what fate you await at the end of the year Instead I hear your voice and try to make the choice do I let it escape or do I end with rejoice I thought you heard me say things would never stay the same, but if I knew you'd next take your life away, I'd stand up and say Those urban days have been wasting away And now it really shows; where did you go? Where did you go? I never thought I'd see your face again after what you did to me And so I turn away and run back to atrophy Still solemn light fades through my Windows in the morning So of course here's where I'd make the rhyme with "mourning" I want you back from the abyss, back into this earthly bliss; I want to hear what I heard heard before you left as this: And so here's our climax - record, burn, export to FLACs, you screamed you'd kill yourself and then I got so pissed: "Why the Hell, why not?!" Those urban days have been wasting away And now it really shows; where did you go? Where did you go?

Your weapon's down, thrown by the side, here to end my worthless life And there we were in the dead of night, then to stay and now to fight Listless lies, a curving spine, up above the blurring lines I'm not okay, but I'm doing fine... I told my mama not to cry But here we are again It's good to see you, friend Here we meet our ends We ran so far away, but now they're here to stay Corruption and decay Your ears and mask hide a shining face, shining through without a trace Your tears fill up its empty space - thick and white, it looks like lace From where I'm standing here on hallowed ground made holy by our hollow sound My soul is gone - check a lost & found, but I see you're a blinded hound So here we are again It's good to see you, friend Here we meet our ends We ran so far away, but now they're here to stay Corruption and decay So stand alone or by my side; behind your mask you try to hide Your face away from judging eyes, but I assure you they're not mine We stand alone in this world, we'll die alone in this world I stand alone in this world, don't let me die alone in this world And here we are again It's good to see you, friend Here we meet our ends We ran so far away, but now they're here to stay Corruption and decay

Blisters on my fingers from where I play guitar I pick as I walk from my car and wonder where the hell you are Fingers on my shoulder: a fine consoling wind My words danced around your ears, but I guess they never went in I worry now, as I can see my work on this Earth is done I think of you and breathe at last - I'm blown to kingdom come I'm sorry that I fantasize about my death a lot It's just that I'm in love with you and I don't know how to talk Thy hand, Belinda... Take thy hand, Belinda When I am laid in Earth, may my wrongs create no trouble Thy hand, Belinda... Take thy hand, Belinda When I am laid in Earth, may my wrongs create no trouble I liked your hair better back when it was long I think the shorter hair would look better if you weren't so blonde You left your door open - I almost stepped in The words I were about to say faded into din You worry now, but I can see the light in the dead of night Some wishful words, I say and watch as you fade into sunlight The reason I have kept my words inside is not so right I just think it'd be better if we both didn't want to die Thy hand, Belinda... Take thy hand, Belinda When I am laid in Earth, may my wrongs create no trouble Thy hand, Belinda... Take thy hand, Belinda When I am laid in Earth, may my wrongs create no trouble I want to hold you tight and feel your breath rush down my neck Anything to tell that you're alive and there's any hope left The world falls in and I can see your heart close in on me I find my fate's the same as yours, there's nothing I'd rather be Thy hand, Belinda... Take thy hand, Belinda When I am laid in Earth, may my wrongs create no trouble Thy hand, Belinda... Take thy hand, Belinda When I am laid in Earth, may my wrongs create no trouble I hold your body - in my mind, you're living When the whole world comes down on me I'll stand still here beside you Hold close my hand, dear. My life's combined with yours here When I am slain - a stain on Earth - in thy breast, no trouble... (Love is the power, love is the glory Love is the power, love is the glory) I thought I heard your voice coming from outside or rather it would've been yours if you were still alive
