Logh

I'm writing reports of the days and the nights.
Locked up for years in a measure of mind.
When with a net of nothing.
I was trying to catch the motions of a mind.
And the methods of a crime. i never saw the chance.
And never what i held in my hands.
The lights are all red in this town.
Where i'm killed by exhausts.
And alcohols that dry out my skin.
I never had a clue of the role that i played.
But that's the condition and the price that we pay

We plod our way.
Through the ashes and the dust.
Left of our plans. of all things we've shared.
Today buries tomorrow. but no stone is raised.
Killed in cold blood.
At the onset of night. today buries tomorrow

They said he'd been in for quite a while.
When they found him by the riverside.
Those bones won't be identified.
I saw a man the other night.
Yeah he looked just like a lookalike.
Of the man that i had left to die

Fastest guy on the strip.
Fastest mind on this ship.
Hey check your mirrors. on a bathroom mirror.
She writes her name.
And she writes my name.
Yeah check your. fastest ship in the fleet.
With my princess up front seat.
Hey check your heading. note on bathroom mirror.
Hey check your mirrors.
Blankets for cold nights.
We will need them. where we're going

Can you hear.
Hear the bell.
The church bell.
The church on the hill.
The sound is off.
It's off the ground.
Have you seen.
Seen the men.
The dead men.
The office men.
They are men of the sky.
They're off the ground

Headed into their world. headlights off.
We're not. despite the sign.
Welcome at all. don't let them know who we are.
Don't let them know where we're from.
Sorry sir. we were just trying to get home.
Waiter. serve us our drinks then leave us alone.
Don't let them know what we've got.
Because they don't know what they want.
But right or wrong. it's their call

We learn our way
From watching the sun.
We find our way by watching the sun.
Can't come with you when you go south.
Come back 'til spring.
I'll have to stay behind this year.
I'll try to stick it out this year

The night is calm so lets go for a ride
It's these simple things that keep us alive
We left the children sleeping for all I know (now)
We let the neons show us the way to go (way to go)

The night is calm but a cold wind blows
Living is dying sometimes I know
There's a bad unkind thing in the air tonight
But we let the neons show us where to hide - alright

The fire is dying
The night will be cold
Not a light in sight
I've got to go

Can you tell these eyes are awaiting the end?
That nothing's waiting around the bend?
While we stay here sitting still all the hypocrisy's leading us in

Light rain upon the fire
You've got a ride
Free beer all night and I got to drive

Beat and battered, gray and old
The many years are taking their toll
Vote for Democracy, yeah
Vote for a word
Vote for a word
The girl you knew had her own car, her own scars, her own cross
The farther out you reached into the night the less she remembered, the less you tried

All this time awaiting night
At its end awaits a trial
The reflections of a knife cut through the dark and an alliance of hearts

With the setting sun
The tides rise
With the setting sun
To end a life
With the setting sun

As the waves pull back the treasures are revealed
I heard I would fear but I'm not scared of an inevitable end

With the setting sun
The tides rise
With the setting sun
The hearts divide
As the waters rise
You fight for life
With the setting sun
As the world dies

You turned and smiled and said that nothing ever ends
Now only a colossal wreck remains

You walked for months to find the other side awash
The burning desert stretches out before your eyes

Flood the lands and drown the world once and for all
The sands go on and on until there is no end

The winds are waiting quiet for the storm to make the call
While the collectors of skulls prepare for war
And the lights from sovereign states flicker in the dark

The darkness has erased the features of the lands
The lights from sovereign states are all but dead

For every emissary and the misery you breed

I got a suit
I got a black suit
You got horns but I got a black suit

I got a band
I got a black band
You got thorns and I got a black band

You got a shield
You got a black shield
I got a point but you got a black shield

I got a wish
I got a death wish
You got a badge but I got a death wish

The truth I know can not be bent, oh no
It has been raised as a monument to the dead
The truth they say is stated in the Book of Revelations
The truth I know is mounted on the bones of generations

I got a mark
I got a black mark
You got a book
At least you've got a book

Oh, the demise of the empire!
Receded and dark its walls began to fall

The alliance, no one saw it die
The scene of the crime was not checked for evidence
Now it is all gone

The theory seems all too easy
You see, the thesis is said to be dead and so are you

Name the contractor and the assassin
Memorize the face and the plates and the prayer

Throw your oars overboard

These are hands made to dig holes
One for every waiting soul
These are eyes made to deceive
To serve the lie we're made to believe

This is what I got for staring the sun
In the eye

I will surely be condemned
For this sin I will go to hell
For the warning that I never got
For my dreams of a raging sun

This is what I got for staring the sun
In the eye

Why is the sun so bright?
Why is the sun so bright?
Why is the sun so bright?
Why is the sun so bright?

Here it comes
Full war
A fucking chronic alarm
I'd dig
My own hole
Repay the Devil with my soul
To just
For one day
Be taken away from the flames
Until
It starts
All
Over
Again

You know love for love knew of the blood on your shoes
For sure is that blood is what love is

The black dust kicked up by your black shoes in my black heart has choked up the thin lines that carry love

Briefly the sky wears thin lines
White trails like lifelines

Do you remember the way?
Do you know the grave?
Do you know the name?
My memory's a red hand digging through the lost events for evidence

Comes crashing through the door
Drives up by your side
You stop at a red light
This is a dead end
How dark is the endless night and how vain the fight

There's a fire at sea
There's a ship that bleeds
I have turned my eyes
I have turned my mind

I defy the sun
I defy the sea
I hope it burns
I hope it bleeds

He will concede
I will sever him
He who severd me

I couldn't see for the symmetry
The cloak was choked in the trembling reeds
The disguise was compromised

I threw up on a winter's dream
I got lost in the imagery
Because life was compromised

I wrote a letter to the King and Queen
I set sail for the mystery
And life was in disguise!

I took my chance on the open sea
I lost sight of the waving trees
The sky was always shy

You are the ghost that I evoked, the empty cage and the missing page
Quick lunch to witness our demise
If ever the days would consume my time

An easy target
An easy win
The coat is warm like the apocalypse

Fathers, sons, and holy ghosts clog the minds and throats that choke
The stench is sworn in like the youth
With trembling hearts you've got all to lose

An easy target
An easy win
The coat is warm like the apocalypse

Destiny's dead
I cut its head off

I fell into the well
I fell through hell
You moved, through the dark you moved and I saw you

The dark reset my eyes
Reset my mind
I can't remember why, but I know you

God has a wavering hand
Shakes like a leaf
Smoke pours out her windows
It's a liar's fire
Death is my teacher's bed
She was going to call my mother
Don't fucking bother
I'm already gone

Mile after mile of lights
Mile after mile of night

Hey, look at all those lights
They serve to remind
I cruised for miles along the seaside drive and when I arrived the world was lit
I had my head in the sand
At the back of the book where no one looks I keep a broken heart

Mile after mile of lights
Mile after mile of night

I saw the water, the sky, the islands of lights and I knew she was lying
She'd been lying all along
My teacher, she was lying
But she was just the lock on the door
The shore fears the water because it's cold

I need a shot to remember
The sun is challenging over my head

A long night
Takes clear eyes to know the enemy

One last chance of a death trap
One last flight out of my head

Sick and tired
Weary eyed
You'll be my open eyes

The night has tired
It's been a waste of time
The morning sleeps with open eyes
The lost youth lost it once again
Nothing they do will ever mean anything
But they've been robbed of nothing
Not a purpose, not a name
Beauty hides in your eyes
A lone override of science
My hope lies in you now
I'm heavier than a broken heart
You are the rendering of a dream
Let's go
Now

By God I'm tired
I'm tired and I want to go home
She's warm, like a fire
The smoke will lead you home

My hands are tied
Tied to the evil I know
It's wild, like fire
The smoke will lead you home

My heart has tired
Tired from the bag of stone
She's wild, like fire
The smoke will lead you home

I choked, woke up high
The morning drenched in light, in fire

My mind hurled and turned
My thoughts cooled and curled like wires

Mary, I saw the eye
It rearranged my mind
I saw the eye

I cut the logic line
I reassessed the world that I had defined

How long? Where and why?
Whatever this is it's alright tonight

Mary, I saw the eye
It rearranged my mind
I saw the eye

it's one am and time to leave
we're back on empty streets
there's so much time but nowhere to go
but anyway, we can't go home

i'm up for treason anytime, i can cheat and i can lie
the only danger here is being safe so there's no more time to waste

no time for being bored, no fear and no resort
the party's over, the lights are out
but hey, we can't stop now
let's find some place off the map
a place where it's not so safe
a place where it's not too late
let's go party somewhere else

week upon week of seamless night i was going to get something off that guy got robbed and hit in the knees because i could not see for all the trees i lost my shoes, with naked feet i ran and i ran through rainy streets
but when i caught up one guy had become three and i could not see for all the trees
piece by piece the image cleared - no one ever made a friend around here i tried to make them see but they would not see for all the green

one night i'll fight you but not tonight
this lonely night is already lost
sad men with sadder ends, lonely nights and city lights
i thought that i could see but i could not see for all the trees

one night i'll fight you but not tonight
this lonely night is already lost

i can hardly wait
until i fall asleep
tomorrow i'll throw away everything i keep

the days i tried to cage
had already escaped
the moments i tried to save
were wasted anyway

death to your concern
and death to my return
and death to my home town

death to your regret
and death to my respect
and death to my home town

i can hardly wait
until i wake again
tomorrow when you wake
i'll be on my way

death to your concern
and death to my return
and death to my home town

death to your regret
and death to my respect
and death to my home town

you're so very late but i'm glad you came
this city has eyes
they keep me up at night
there's somebody there with eyes that stare
at night i dream a sleepless dream

small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side
like a forest at night this city has eyes
from somewhere outside they pan my walls like searchlights
another night without sleep and another day without dreams

it's dark outside
it's almost night
the nights, they're all alike
they'll show when i close my eyes
for now i'll just sit tight

the door was not locked so i went on inside
i had been there before and i knew that i was out on thin ice
i was meeting someone but no one showed up and when trouble came by i tried to find a friendly face in the night
but whoever i was looking for was nowhere in sight
i chose sides
i lost the fight
whatever happened to saturday night?

it was dark like december and the sun was on the run
staggering through the streets and my fear i tried to make my escape
i lay down on the pavement, tried to rest my head
but i woke up from one nightmare to another full of words i'd never heard
i believe they were my friends but then i saw them as ghosts and now i wonder if maybe those ghosts had been mine all the time
though i think there was a reason for my actions, who knows?
tonight i've got a reason and the reason is it's saturday night
now I see the reason why

now i see
i see the reason why - i've got a ghost that i can't escape
a gloved hand in the night
you're my misguiding light
you are the ghost that i can't escape

this place it makes you wonder
well it just doesn't figure
somehow i can't help thinking somewhere there's something missing

sometimes i check that i'm still breathing

the billboards claim there's a place far away on the other side with palm trees and white beaches
somehow i find doubt about it

sometimes i check that i'm still breathing
sometimes i hope i'm only dreaming

i figured it out there's nothing to hide because there's nothing inside i think i finally figured it out
it fell into place there's nothing to see here there's nothing to feel here i think it finally fell into place time to go or everything will stay the same and this will only hurt this confusion must have an end now i'm going away i'm going away i wanted to stay but now i know i have to go away time to go or everything will stay the same and this will only hurt this confusion must have an end now hope tomorrow will be better i'm so tired this is going to hurt but this confusion will have an end now

it's happening again but this time you know it isn't real
you know it's a mistake but mistakes are all you ever get
once, you thought you'd found a way but now you know you should have known
nothing ever rhymes and you know you should have just gone home

the darkness around the corner wore her name, a name that you knew well
you knew that she was trouble and you knew you just could not leave it alone
and when the invitation came you knew it was an introduction to the end
so this is how it ends
well i guess you should have guessed

it's happening again but this time there's violence in your eyes
violent and strange they seem to stray as if they're always on their way
but as they see her shadow edging around the corner they just don't know where to go
nothing ever rhymes and you know you should just go home

cold when you see that girl
you get cold when you see that girl
you thought that your luck would turn
you always thought that your luck would turn
never thought that you'd lose your nerve
you never thought that you'd lose your nerve

but you get cold when you see that girl
you get cold when you see that girl

there, in the dust at my feet something flickered in the heat and then just like that it disappeared
last night the mutiny spread
the cops were on the run, the kids were out for blood

you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight
not one sign of life

i've tried but i can't feel a thing
could this really be right?
someday i will stop trying
fights for imitations of life
everything is predefined
no surprises, no defiance

you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight
not one sign of life
but you can see for miles
for miles

the pool was ours for just a fraction of time in the cover of night
flashlights tight in our shaking hands, too rare to die

weekend comes in the wastelands
you're always, or at least sometimes, on my mind
disillusion tears new holes, miles wide, through an already empty space
coming to at the waters edge
i feel the waves embrace

you look so handsome on my bathroom floor, like the blond side of life
the scent of gasoline still fresh on your hands in the cold neon light

I can't, I can't understand
how the winter can stay this long and so cold
it gets worse
it only gets worse
and the weaker i get the deeper it bites
everything is on ice it's so cold outside
everything is on ice it's so cold outside

thinking
it's beginning to sink in
I guess you can turn into whatever you like
then what have i become?

a monster scary only to itself?
everything is on ice it's so cold outside
everything is on ice it's so cold outside
tonight I'll try to go outside

I'll close my eyes and hope i got it all right
and everything, everything will change
and someday I'll trick myself,
forget all this, rewrite
the whole thing and the ice will melt
and the winter will end and then
I'll be ok and then it will,
then it will be spring
again for a while
