She told me why she told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how I've always stayed
Always waiting for nothing

When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by

And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow

When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by

And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
				

Long days
Slow waste
Sow lies
Grow hate

So many years to clean the slate
Endless despair within its wake
His touch soiling what used to be clean
His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams

No more
Cold pace
Slow days

And again he rides in
It's September and he covets the gullible
Skeletal wish - hunter
A thousand lies
Cast from the throne of secrecy

Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserable lies
See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
The insect trust - believer
Your body a vehicle to

Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind
Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
Invisible king - dying
Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow

A burden so great
Weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
The swift solution crumbles
Beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
Death in his eyes - waiting
Spiraling judgment, provoked in the rains

This futile test drowned in the levee of deception

In the year of his sovereign
Rid us of your judgment
Heir apparent 
				

The liquid is in your throat
One hopeless delight

(Missing verse)

The barren waste is your land
Your crops, they were sown to die

The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep

All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire

You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all

Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away

The weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
Resenting the goods of a savior

And cries out
For the restless will also die
A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower

O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end

And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
And the love from a father was used by a father's son

Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking
				

I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
I sung a last goodbye
A broken rhyme I had underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you

A sorrow in me

I saw a movement in their eyes
That said I no longer knew the way
I had given up the ghost
A passive mind submit to fear
And the wait for redemption at hand

Waiting to fail

Failing again

If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
You have taken more than we've recieved
And the ocean of sorrow is you
				

I lost all I had that April day
I turned to my friends - nothing to say
I wrote down a name and read it twice
I wallowed in shame

I said that I loved eternal schemes
I cling to my past like childish dreams
I promised to stay and held my breath
I went far away

Icy roads beneath my feet lead me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now - don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why

Kept inside our idle race
(Missing line - Ghosts of an idol's false embrace?)
Rest your head now - don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
				

Will the children cry
When their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same

Her longing for me coming down like hail
Why did you leave me

Come here inside
And tell me how
How in my final days
I'd find the rhyme

The light comes on
The signal for us to act out our lives
You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
(Missing line)
We all left you alone

Lock the children away from harm
They're no longer your reason why
(Missing lines)

You felt abandoned in a flock of friends
Singing praise for the dead
Awaited the face of the moon to ascend
And followed the sound in your head
				

Two years in your heart
One moment of doubt
Two lives torn apart
One second from now

Held him in your arms
Your fever subsides
Always safe from harm
Kept demons inside

Still you always start running
Towards the light from the moon
We saw a mother cry
And left a space here
