Break those chainsA life like frozen water on the duck pond in the town I grew up in with old man winter, frost on the window, the birds all gone to somewhere warmer and I wonder how long will I feel so breakable yet unfazed by anything as if I could crack but I hold it all in, well maybe everyone's felt like that all along and forever ago.
And these chains of papers and payments are heavy as water and I can feel myself drowning and I'm seeing red in each sense of that colour, red like blood and debt and rage and all I want is to break those chains but I don't want to start over again.
I want to carry on without my wreckage, without my treasure, all along and forever, carry on without my chains, without my name because I'm more than just a number.
But I walk across this frozen pond, I hear the scream of fractures and I wonder if I'll break this time or carry on into the night. The ice it creaks and groans and I can swear I hear her laughter and I'm scared as hell that I don't understand what this all means.
BurnedBurned
Easily crushed up, kind of callow
Shoot the shutterbugs in Time's Square
Peanut brittle in Candy Land
Archetypal brunette with hawks eye's
A lion's man and pale horse heart
Bit in mouth and ring in nose
Led by red, mistrusted instead
Dancing in the Grey Oh, how we pray upon
The signs and banners now
The times are still to find
In this cold, wildest room
Where I can call the shots
And no-one tells me what to do
The medication's run out
And now I've gotta choose
Feed The FlamesIn the dark part of the woods
В темной части леса
Up to nothing good
До ничего хорошего
Hide your secret smile better
Скрыть ваш секретный улыбку лучше
Но единственный способ дышать
The bells still ringIt's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold
So I fell in love with a girl and then I told her so
She was drunk in the fountain, blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing
I thought it was childish, but then I caught the joke
It made me laugh and it made me sneeze like a common cold
But I felt alive and I wanted her to know
The maps on our faces told our tale, showed us where to go
Through The Night and Back AgainMornings like this I feel like leaving
Though I'll have to hollow out my heart
I'm scraping out the insides of a pumpkin
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Dress it up like someone else's nightmare
Candle flickering alive inside
WolvesI'm losing faith just before dark
but when the fire's gone cold I'm still catching sparks
and this canyon is a clutter of old scars
all of my ghosts they congregate here
it's like a seance of sorts, the skeleton years
but my honour is older than my tears
Your HandsKeepin' the wolves at bay.
When there's rust in the leaves it's a sign that the moods gonna change,
And come pick a fight.
So i'll wrap my self up in my jacket and gloves.
Disguised in the hide of a cow,
As if my skin weren't enough,
To protect me from the elements.
