little survivor
03:23
|
|||
i wanted to be
a little survivor
but all that i have
is a constant reminder
that if you can leave
then how can you love me?
and so i go on
so it goes on
i wanted to hold
this feeling forever
but now that you're gone
it's fading away
and if you can leave me here alone
how can you that you love me?
and so i go on...

modern fables
04:08
|

i founded a faith
i built it on modern fables
the stories were true
they just didn't make much sense
the reminder that's been forgotten
in the hope that we need not know
we dissolved in our own solution
all the promises we made long ago
i founded a faith
you called it a false religion
i said you were right
it's nothing to do with god
it's the novel that won't be written
it's the letter that no-one sends
it's the jury without decision
when we've already reached the end, because
this machine can barely function
under the weight of rocks and bones
but we can continue making progress
if we never know
i founded a faith
you said it was raw and foolish
but left all alone
you gave in and joined the throng
you embraced all the sweet delusions
let your constant reminder go
the result's a foregone conclusion
and your countenance tells us so, now listen
this machine can barely function
from running around the neighbour's bend
but there's nothing to stop us making progress
if we just pretend, come on let's pretend
(modern fables, they tell the truth of anyone)

recovery
03:42
|

everyone wants recovery
fitting it like an open wing
i don't wanna talk about it now
night comes down the details slip
cover your hands just wait and sit
i don't wanna think about it now
with a little practise
you could be a hero
full score or nothing
everyone wants an open wing
shelter to hide and heal again
i don't wanna think about it now
the shadows will fall in retrograde
keeping you safe from no-one
i don't wanna live without you now
with a little practise
you could be a hero
full score or nothing
you could be my hero
my hero
coming out of the shade
i won't doubt any more
novelty won't erase
what is carved inside
the heart is where you hide
with a little practise
you could be a hero
full score or nothing
you could be my hero
with a little practise
you could be a hero
full score or nothing

a new dialogue
04:30
|
|||
why won't you take me out i am more
than willing to leave
i won't wear anything but my heart
on my sleeve
all you wanted is all i need
don't talk to me like i'm
one of your cynical peers
talk to me like a lover
you'll wear me out with your
subtle defences my dear
one day you will
crossed wire and foiled ire is the house
that we live in
all so anaesthetised we don't feel
the cold begin
no bowing out the audit is far
from unclear
all you wanted is all i need
don't talk to me like i'm
one of your cynical peers
talk to me like a lover
you'll wear me out with your
subtle defences my dear
one day you will
let me open the weir
you'll be calm down here
don't talk to me like i'm
one of your cynical peers
talk to me like a lover
you'll wear me out with your
subtle defences my dear
one day you will
talk to me like a lover
no bowing out now the audit
reads too fucking clear
one day you will

high and clear
you've been feeling so alien
cool and near
you've been distant from everyone
you better keep your ear to the ground
you gotta keep your fear on the run
high and near
you've been distant from everyone
cool and clear
you've been feeling so alien
you better keep your ear to the ground
you gotta keep your fear on the run

i've got fifteen different skins
most are thick but some are thin
everything is coming to a halt
six to wear with perfect ease
aces tucked inside each sleeve
everything is coming to a halt
come on lead the way now
concentration keeps you rich
but you need more money to cut that itch
everything is coming to a halt
temporise to buy more time
and the cheek to slip your hand in mine
everything is coming to a halt
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way
we've big pockets to keep you in
but until you leave we won't begin
everything is coming to a halt
all impatience slows you down
but you feed your hunger for nothing
everything is coming to a halt
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way

friend

here's better day
we can start over
it's always been this way
you let me begin again
when i say
why hold on?
you stop and show me
here's a better day
forget those idiots
they won't amount to anything
we'll just start over
when i say
why hold on?
i don't feel so strong
but you
(here's better day, hold on)
when i say
why hold on?
i don't feel so strong
but you
(you help keep me strong, my friend)
you keep me so strong
here's a better day
thank you my friend

sooner or later you're going to find
you've been left out on your own
where nothing quite fits and the little critic
keeps your case at home
you've gotta take a look at yourself
a little luxury
really take a look at yourself
did you give it all you had?
i'm sorry's no good for me
your story's all make-believe
it's only the wish you wish you had
one of these days you'll admit you should have
kept your contacts close
there's nothing like fickle alliances
to release your friends from foes
you've gotta take a look at yourself
a little luxury
really take a look at yourself
did you give it all you had?
i'm sorry's no good for me
your story's all make-believe
it's only the wish you wish you had
you've gotta take a look at yourself
a little luxury
really start to see yourself
did you give it all you had?
i'm sorry's no good for me
your story's all make-believe
it's only the wish you wish you had

run
04:03
|
|||
tired
worn at the seams
we're not yet released from our dreams
you better run
one
fitful reprieve
we're holding back hope for relief
you better run, run
all my apologies
thrown back
for shooting you down
an obsolete currency
to move you around
you better run
you better run
arms
won by degrees
and all of us know what it means
to make you run, run, run
all my apologies
thrown back
for shooting you down
an obsolete currency
to move you around
you better run
you better run
you better run
