Are you inside, provider, or am I?
Immersed in all the darkness and decay Denied the sleep to dream myself away Said I was bright, too sensitive to fly Can't tell you why you don't already know He reins the horse for those I cannot see Will I like him a gallant rider be? The skin is pale, the sunken eyes are slow |

Belly first, unrehearsed, I'm thrown from all I've known
A silhouette set among the badlands paved with stone Photographs, fingerprints, fragile refugee Higher rise fire in the sky society Can I hold on, can I believe in All the things you are? There's no sane in, chaos reigns in Subterranea Cadillac heart attack, back of this beyond Pusher king, TV queen, accommodating blonde At Traitor's Gate while you wait gender reassigned Surgeon carves the matching halves The blindfold leads the blind Can I hold on? I cannot count them All the things you are Were I stronger I'd hold out longer in Subterranea Without the walls, comfort is freezing in my veins And caught within chemical rain My dreams have turned against me And fatally have fenced me in Above me cold light and below me over all The time I've lost, how can I know? So I keep forgetting what I am half recalling On a bed of fallen flowers Hold me now as I was held before Powerhouse, sacred vows, trigger happy punk Driven by hidden eyes and figure hugging junk Heaven knows if I'm close, am I unreleased? If I'm in hell I may as well be famine to the feast Can I hold on, can I belong to All the things you are? There's no sane in, chaos reigns in Subterranea |

Sightless, he watches the columns collide
As he wanders the canyons relentlessly wide Empires are burning, the rain cuts his skin And in every direction the sound closes in Time, only time, have I And already I'm not okay He falls in with the unwashed and unfed He will sleep for the first time, no crib for a bed In these extraordinary lanes He is blind again, unaware still From the greatest height and to the furthest end Without association, he will bend And walking with the wounded, old and thin Made to be paraded, bring the misfit in How to overpower the avenues of steel In my illusion, what of this is real? Sleepless incidental, what I really need Is how to now avoid the full stampede I'm only taking time And I'm not where I want to be now |

"Do you seek enlightenment
Are you to frightened to speak? Short of experience here where the flesh is so weak Trust in these hands, let them attend to you We understand, we all intend for you To stand amongst friends" "Are you remembering Do I revive your neglect, my one? A price must be paid for your sin And I'm here to collect All that you are is all that you'll ever be Unless on your hands and knees You put all your faith in me" Leave me alone, I don't belong here I'm not your candidate, guaranteed failsafe I'm on my own I don't know, I don't know ... Bible bashing fashion victim Should have kicked him When he couldn't get arrested Uncontested will to carry on is gone Inside his head, he's dead He said, "I never was alive I died with knives an nails and nightingales This is all the anger I can hold" Kennedy, remember me, I cannot bury you Until I stare into the mouth of hell Time alone will tell me how to Spend the time alone without you Listen to the songs about you, run for cover Gunners unrevealed will aim to please another son I can't go on, help me make that Golden Dawn Because for all we know we're done and dusted Must it end like this, here and now, here and now? I don't belong here There's nothing now My eyes won't recognize I'm all wrong here, let me go, I'm not for changing I don't belong here I'm not your victim and I don't believe I'm not strong here, no religion, nothing more I'm telling you know, I'm not your candidate Guaranteed failsafe I'm caught in a headrush I'm out of control |

Whenever I was silenced, when I was on my own
A brutal cold existence, I believed I was gone Now I stand no longer nameless Though I've lost more than I'll find A simple moment set aside And I feel like I'm mine There are times when I remember But in my heart I'm not the same And I feel myself connected Every time you speak my name You speak my name Without the darkness in my soul With arms to call my own I face a future unafraid And I won't be alone There's a place where all my dreaming Will free me from what I became And I know no-one can reach me Every time you speak my name You speak my name There are times when I remember But in my heart I'm not the same And I feel myself protected Every time you speak my name You speak my name |

Don't want to lead a revolution
Let another go ahead Don't have no need for elocution No desire to raise the dead You can't avoid the circulation Amend the circumstance Don't want to lose the combination Still want to hold it in my hands Can't see around this tunnel vision From inside of what I've found When I was wracked with indecision When my hide was hunted down Under a moon of innovation A many-splendoured thing I need the company I'm keeping And I feel the hunger Something happened inside and I can't explain it I'm in a critical way When I didn't believe it I couldn't see Now I live a life in a day All at once she is gone again when I turn back Cracking up, more than I can take Make it come right And I'm dead on my feet, hesitating and down In a dangerous mood where I shouldn't remain Straighter than an arrow never-ending emotional ride (Raining from the harder sky) Waiting for survival, are there no words left to right? Don't want them anymore And now something I couldn't hide has happened inside And taken the meaning away When I didn't give in I couldn't begin Now I live a life in a day Something happened inside and I can't explain it I'm in a critical way When I didn't believe it I couldn't see Now I live a primitive life in a day |

Hard on my heels I feel him
from dusk till dawn he stands Astride the elevation, avoiding confrontation In this infernal chorus He follows where I lead him under the ground Who watches he who watches ? Non-one above suspicion I want an explanation, one final word of wisdom "Said you were bright-eyed wonder Set you up right, you're finally where you belong" I am your murdering Angel of Death I will despise you until your last breath When I cut into you, will you not bleed ? Decidedly you will provide what I need Give me a focus now, give me a name Who is responsible, who do I blame ? Back to your maker, return to his side Unressurected, unrecognized Mockenrue... |

King of fools, you'll never bring him back
He's got them where they want him Hanging high, is this the way it ends ? On bended knee, not with a bang But with a fatal kiss, I won't twist again For you can bend me, shape me Won't escape me Now I've got the reason for the rhyme Skintight stupid substitute You don't come close, no sense pretending Dr Suess's golden goose is Too seductive, too demanding Idle handsome fascist with his Love-me-love-my-velvet-fist attention never meant to leave me Now I'm unintentionally fine |

Ignited by the realizing eyes
Unwrapped around the solitary sound A failing voice is railing under walls Collapsing on the unfamiliar ground O, empty heart, am I the only one ? On pins alone or are we many born ? Well, either way, you are what you've begun And by the way, I never did you wrong Nothing here is guaranteed, nothing's understood Now that I am far beyond beginning to belong Maybe I don't understand the sequence as I should Can't tell left from right from wrong God from bad from good For all you know, for all you made of me It's hard to keep the skin from tender bone No earthly ties to hang me from on high I wait beneath your overcrowded skies Nothing here makes any grade There's nothing I can do Fed and watered though I was barely half alive Time enough to tire me out but now I'm sleeping I've lost the sense in sanity Got the bad in good |

Beyond imagination, born of blood and fire
In splendid isolation, I have lived Corrupted and conspiring All I wanted, all I was living for An end to all the silent sweet revenge And nothing more No longer God's Apollo, no more Mercury Down among the unbelievers Fuck the wild and wasted, look at me Got pills to sleep, got pills to get awake Eternally I ray no-one my breath will take The honesty is gone now There is no other way in this state of mine The resolutions halted The innocence betrayed by your hand All I can do is keep uncertain company I get this murderous intention With a tendency to fly How can I hold on ? If I'm not living who am I ? He knows that I'm about him He feels me in his skin, I follow him in again Confidence is shaken, his conscience is unclear One of us promised more I know you lie with me, breathtaker To dream my dreams You steal them for the maker of rain Get out of my subterranean heart and I'm alive Asylum is everything and it's mine Are you made of stone ? And are you there at all or here in my head ? Anyone with half a brain would do the same I know your name |

The shadows fill the corners across the square
they come a-crawling to offer shelter, to haul me in Without a needlepoint in the light And the steel to still your tongue The night hides a multitude of uncovered sins The heart beating in Capricorn, I take on a guise They won't define me anytime in the English rain Will I feel an automatic release from all this pain? With no movement, undiscovered, I lie in wait So what if you're sentimental And I'm out of tears, out of sympathy? I'll make it look accidental And I'll leave no sign to say your life was mine No-one I think fell out of my tree No-one I carried just the same Thinner than most sinners and saints alive Dare you speak my name? So what if you're temperamental And I'm out of tears, out of sympathy? So what if I'm elemental? |

All my life I'm governed and controlled
At someone's beck and call Made to walk a balanced line before I even crawled All the time I hungered for release On independence day Without a contact or a name, I waited anyway Torn apart and written in the starts More I cannot see Blind enough to follow through Unsupervised devotion Forever I was losing sight, sound escaping And all the world was tuning upside down For every move I tried to make when I was stranded At least I'm standing on unsolid ground All my live I'm governed and controlled At someone's beck and call Maybe there's no genius in having lived at all All my life I'm taken by surprise I'm someone's waste of time Now I walk a balanced line And step into tomorrow Forever I was losing sight, sound escaping And all the world was tuning upside down For every move I tried to make when I was stranded At least I'm standing on unsolid ground |

Wakes up forgotten, makes up his mind
Sets out to question if he's one of a kind On and on, want to feel somehow Somewhere in time You'll see it all the way that I do now Gives in to impulse, reaches in between Gets back a notion, still remembers a dream Gone again and I don't know how Some other time You're going to look like I do now Sprawls across the walkways, recalls another place Finds the faces hidden, no names upon a stone Raises up a fever, he rails against the skies Careless what he wishes for And what he's always known On and on, want to feel somehow Somewhere in time You'll see it all the way that I do now In and out of daylight, hung on for dearest life Stumbles on misguided, is rousing from a sleep On the street civilians display a common band Roaring like a cry from Heaven seven thunders deep Gone again and I don't know how Some other time You're going to look like I do now So many held in firm array, each one anonymously files In every kind of every way and every mother's only child And all the time identified, it's hard to take it in at all There must be many more besides Those to watch us while we're sleeping So many here, so many held Aligned and catalogues for good And punching in and punching out The empty voices keep repeating "I don't live on the outside I'm provided for in here now Love us where we stand, lead us through this land We all know the score, that's what living's for" |

Wherever the faithless are
With any other prey approaching Come hell or come waters high Believe it or surrender nothing In all that is envious He's sworn to continue And he will contain you all No one salvation anymore You're right in the sights He moves on all sides Now as I turn |

Divided by loyalty, surrounded by emotion
Nobody under here, remembers any mercy at all We stay down Deciding the borderline Maya, did no-one tell you? I couldn't have made you mine 'Cause I feel your pain more than my own All the love gone astray There will be hell to pay this time For those of us born to die There'll be none to testify Time and time again I skin the world, keel it over Spinning on its side, beginning as it ended Through these diamond eyes Maid of Morphine settled in my side Did she intervene? Well, I'm the cleanest that I've been Don't know where I know you from Time and time again I've lived enough in silence It's getting harder now to keep the violence in me Someone I once was, raised upon a gallant rider's knee Mortal memories lost among the unrecalled Set the cross of fire (if I live) These are the only ones (if I've loved) Remember who they are If I look, I see them everywhere Don't know where I know you from Told me, go the way of your heart I'll be waiting for you But wherever you are, you're not inside me now Told me, try to sleep, I will come But I'm still waiting for you And wherever you are, I'm still inside you now I'm never going to cut through without you now If I get ascension or die All the love that was mine denied All the love that you qualified Like a desert I'm open wide There's nowhere for me to hide at all For your love, I can never go back Every one of us is herded and contained Not a single one invited Voices circulate around the musty hall And the kerosene's ignited Through the rising flames that lick against the flesh Incandescent in the crossfire Do my eyes betray the longest night of all Do I see or dream of Maya? But he's got us where he wanted us to be Undivided, under control As the narrow margin finds us face to face As he laughs across the foxhole Nowhere was ever safe enough for all of us No one contender cared about getting out Tied now behind the hungry fire meant for us Scattered like dust and finally free Held together by fear I can't be the same, too much has changed Undeniably real and it's better left unsaid All the love you said was nothing Find a rhinestone not a diamond I never wanted this Left alive and laid to rest Told me I was brighter than most And I believed it all then Through the dangerous times I needed more than cold eyes I want to be alone To dream myself away from darkness and decay As I try to forget it No-one entered into my mind more than Maya Someone she believed I could be is burning in me Now I want to be alone like a stronger man Then I can understand As I try to remember where I know you from Provider, are you inside or am I? |
