COLD

You were waiting for an answer
It was the hardest thing to hear
So strung out
Eclipsed by shivers
Mollycoddled and sincere

It’s a lonely life
A long and lonely life
Stay with me and be a ghost tonight
Be a ghost tonight
But don’t you be so cold

You were waiting for elation
Like it would fall out of the sky
Maybe time’s the greatest healer
But baby everything will die

It’s a lonely life
A long and lonely life
Stay with me and be a ghost tonight
Be a ghost tonight
But don’t you be so cold

Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold

It’s a lonely life
A long and lonely life
Stay with me and be a ghost tonight
Be a ghost tonight
But don’t you be so cold

Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold
Don’t you be so cold

HALLELUJAH (SO LOW)

I bleed like a millionaire
My bones lay with dust in your care
Just don’t leave this old dog to go lame
This life requires another name

Ohhh so low
Ohhh so low

I got lucky this time in the hunt for atonement

Hallelujah

You sold me a second hand joke
Young man where there’s fire there’s smoke
Just don’t leave this old dog to go lame
This life requires another name

Ohhh so low
Ohhh so low

I got lucky this time in the hunt for atonement

Hallelujah

Just don’t leave this old dog to go lame
Just don’t leave this old dog to go lame

I bleed like a millionaire
My bones lay with dust in your care
Just don’t leave this old dog to go lame
This life requires another name

I got lucky this time in the hunt for atonement

VIOLENCE

One more waster digging holes
Down where the streets are paved with souls
It makes it harder to join the dots
The river gets wider in front of us

The last train will pull you through
At night the war still comes to you
It makes it harder to join the dots
The river gets wider in front of us

Baby we’re nothing but violence
Desperate so desperate and fearless
Mess me around until my heart breaks
I just need to feel it

Baby we’re nothing but violence
Desperate so desperate and fearless
Desperate and fearless

Violence

One more waster digging holes
Down where the streets are paved with souls
The last train will pull you through
At night the war still comes to you

It makes it harder to join the dots
The river gets wider in front of us
It makes it harder to join the dots
The river gets wider in front of us

Baby we’re nothing but violence
Desperate so desperate and fearless
Mess me around until my heart breaks
I just need to feel it

Baby we’re nothing but violence
Desperate so desperate and fearless
Desperate and fearless

Violence

DARKNESS AT THE DOOR

This is our corner of the planet
It’s the straight edges we inhabit
We ignore the darkness at the door
Turn the lights out if you hear me
Stop your screaming just speak clearly
The lonely and the righteous
I just need friends and nothing more

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

It’s the first sign of an affliction
Familiarity of an addiction
That old friend's a welcome sight
I like it when I see him
He covers up the world we live in
Lights a firework in my pocket
Some friends are worth the fight

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door

I must manage expectations
My idols are revelations
I hope I never meet them
This is our corner of the planet
It’s the straight edges we inhabit
Just friends and nothing more
Become the darkness at the door

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

This old town still gets out of line (Waiting for the darkness)
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line (Waiting for the darkness)
Darkness at the door to greet me

NOTHINGNESS

I'm not mining for gold but insecurity
Fooled by a trick of the light
Are you there
I'm not breaking the mould
I wouldn’t fill it
Hold my life in your hands if you dare

We wait weighed down
We let it all escape
We let it go
Let it go
We let it go
We let it go

We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness
We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness

I’m not here for the show
I’m not buying it
Five steps back from the past if you dare

We wait weighed down
We let it all escape
We let it go
We let it go
We let it go

We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness
We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness

Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
…

We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness
We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness

MAGAZINE

Right this way
The room’s full to burst
Whatever you say
Gotta quench that thirst

I got a little secret for you
It’s in a magazine
You got an image to keep safe
Bitten nails stay clean yeah

Now talk the loudest with a clenched fist
Top of a hit list
Gag a witness
Ohh it takes a fat lip to run a tight ship
Just talk the loudest with a clenched fist

Flash your winning smile
Let your eyes work the room
These people are here for you
You’re the bride
You’re the groom

I got a little secret for you
It’s in a magazine
You got an image to keep safe
Bitten nails stay clean yeah

Now talk the loudest with a clenched fist
Top of a hit list
Gag a witness
Ohh it takes a fat lip to run a tight ship
Just talk the loudest with a clenched fist

You talk the loudest

Now talk the loudest with a clenched fist
Top of a hit list
Blindfold the witness
Ohh it takes a fat lip to run a tight ship
Just talk the loudest
You’re making them sing
It don’t mean a thing

NO SOUND BUT THE WIND

We can never go home
We no longer have one
I’ll help you carry the load
I’ll carry you in my arms
We walk through the ash
And the charred remains of our country
Keep an eye on my back
I’ll keep an eye on the road

Help me to carry the fire
To keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
This road won’t go on forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They will stay there forever
I’m trying hard to hide your soul son
From things it’s not meant to see

Help me to carry the fire
To keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
This road won’t go on forever

Help me to carry the fire
To keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
This road won’t go on forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
When I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire
Help me carry the fire

Help me to carry the fire
To keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road won’t go on forever

COUNTING SPOOKS

You know it’s gonna hurt
Sore feet dragged through the dirt
Hit me right here
The lazy way we love
Good times we’re dreaming of
Hit me right here
It’s getting late
The skyline’s a state
This city’s tired like we are
We’re holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I’m just so tired of numbers

Night vision on
Get the missionaries home
Hit me right here
You know where I start
You know where I end
Hit me right here
It’s getting late
The skyline’s a state
This city’s tired like we are
We’re holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I’m just so tired of numbers

It’s getting late
The skyline’s a state
This city’s tired like we are
We’re holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I’m just so tired of numbers

Holding it together
We’re holding it together

BELONG

In this room
A wilderness
You’re the calm
In that dress
Circling birds
Spits of rain
Rest your head
On the windowpane

Here’s our love
It breathes and dreams
This wilderness
These kings and queens
In this room
Our sheltered hole
Our skins align
I wear your soul

Never belong to anyone else but me
Never belong to em, never belong to em
Never belong to anyone else but me
Never belong to em, never belong to em
Never belong to anyone else but me
Never belong to em, never belong to em
Never belong to em, never belong to em, never belong

Welcome home
How long’s it been
I know that face
From that dream
A wilderness
Beyond those walls
A poignant pause
As a picture falls

Never belong to anyone else but me
Never belong to em, never belong to em
Never belong to anyone else but me
Never belong to em, never belong to em
Never belong to anyone else but me
Never belong to em, never belong to em
Never belong to em, never belong to em, never belong

Welcome home
How long’s it been
A wilderness is in me
A wilderness is in me

Welcome home
How long’s it been
A wilderness is in me
A wilderness is in me

Welcome home
How long’s it been
A wilderness is in me
A wilderness is in me
