FAERIE TALES AND LIES

you lay down on your bed of broken glass
you close your eyes and say you’re fine
you wake up in the middle of the night
you close your eyes and say you’re fine

this time
it’s time
it’s time you see that it’s
it’s time you said goodbye
goodbye....
to faerie tales and lies

you think that you can make it on your own
you close your eyes and say you’re fine
you’ve lost your faith in religion and God
you close your eyes and tears fall down
and now you know it’s time

this time
it’s time
it’s time you see that it’s
it’s time you said goodbye
goodbye....
to faerie tales and lies

STORM UPON MY SOUL

you were merely just a passing cure
for the burning pain the sun had left on me
and you rained upon my inner soul
chasing away the demons to the sea

tell me how could i have known
of the terror of the power that you bring
oh the fool that i had been is how i see
what i had been to let you in

tell me why?

and i swirl around your tempest
as you hold me by the wholeness of my soul
and i look at you with pleading eyes
your face expressing nothingness and more

tell me why...
won't you ever let me be
tell me why...
won't you ever set me free

SEEDS OF WHAT

she's a-plenty but she's one
complication is but a silent nothing
to her it's all her

there's a reason why there's a secret kept inside
in the garden of a thousand torches burning
to her it's all her

and so the river will flow into the sea
and so the sea will lead me back to me
where i will find you lying naked on the floor

there'a a wound here that flows like a river
conversation is like a game of pin the tail
to her it's all her
so begins a race of the strangest nature
she runs i chase after
in the garden of a thousand torches burning
to her the gun shoots

ANGELS

oh this time i have really gotten myself
into the deepest end of
what was here and what was lost
and yet i plough through
holding my own into this fortress i go into

and i fall into the sea
i'm falling down into the sea
oh help me i am falling...
down

i just can't see it at all
why you had to take the fall
there must be some other way
i don't hear a word you say

and yesterday ain't gone you know
it's right beneath my bed
and as i sleep it cradles me into a dream of light
that moves into darkness
and i hold this child in my arms as we both...
fall

I LEARNED IT ALL FROM JOHN

time has suckered him into believing that
there's nothing better than life as he knows it

able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
never a day that he thought this would all fall down

oh but little does he know
that life is about to throw
her greatest trick of all
cause when it rains it pours



everyday that he lived was a day to be glad about
he's the king of the hill with a sword we should all watch out

HAVE YOU EVER

oh this time i have really gotten myself
into the deepest end of
what was here and what was lost
and yet i plough through
holding my own into this fortress i go into

and i fall into the sea
i'm falling down into the sea
oh help me i am falling...
down

i just can't see it at all
why you had to take the fall
there must be some other way
i don't hear a word you say

and yesterday ain't gone you know
it's right beneath my bed
and as i sleep it cradles me into a dream of light
that moves into darkness
and i hold this child in my arms as we both...
fall
