Spiders 08:19
There's a spider in my room It crawls around me in the cocaine mist It weaves a web to catch my dreams It slowly spins a rope to cuff my wrists To cuff my wrists and bind my feet I always feel alone at night It isn't right But when it's day, I'm too afraid To go outside Maybe one day I'll go out And find her For now I'm only sleeping here With spiders

It's such a cold and lonely place Where fishes feed upon your face And you just lie there all the day And I can't make them go away I couldn't drag you from the waves You never wanted to be saved The sea was hungry for your heart I watched it tearing you apart And in my dreams I'm here with you And though I know it isn't true That you were swallowed by the sea I feel your warmth so close to me It hurts to see you got this far And that I don't know who you are That you're so far away from me And that the sun will never shine on the bottom of the sea And in my dreams you're always crying And I want to make you quit But you tell me I'm a liar That I do not give a shit And I try to touch your face And put the tears back in your eyes But I end up hurting you And you have bruises on your thighs And I have scars across my belly In the shape of children's hands All ripping, pushing, pinching, hurting me Whichever way they can All I want is just to hold you Shed a light so you can see But I've erased you and destroyed you Driven you away from me

Take me back to the start Drive a stake into my heart Make me laugh and make me frown Dress me in your morning gown It's black and blue And beautiful it's coming after you Don't run, don't hide You'll find it follows you inside It's ice cold, it's white gold I know the power that it holds It's true, it's beautiful It's coming after you Take me deep into the night Take my vision, take my sight Turn the tables upside down And dress me in your morning gown It's black and blue And beautiful it's coming after you Don't run, don't hide You'll find it follows you inside It's ice cold, it's white gold I know the power that it holds It's true, it's beautiful It's coming after you So take me to the present Hand me to the ocean You are like a godsend All the world in motion I've traveled to no end I require treatment All the odds in favour All I hope to savour Snakes and spiders haunting Dreams like webs are taunting My feet are of inapt size I fear we will capsize So hand me to the ocean I will swim today But one day I will pull the plug And drain it all away

Liberation 04:51
Oh, why did I ever decide To keep all these feelings inside? I know I can't keep up the fight Oh, why did I think it was right (It has to be) To keep all these feelings inside? (I must be free) The pressure's consuming me Oh, why did I ever decide (I can't go on) To keep all these feelings inside? (restraint is gone) My spirit is longing for liberation Liberation, liberation

November Day 04:55
I was lost when you found me on that cold November day I was hopeless and lonely but you helped me find a way You took me in and you promised me I'd never sleep alone But after over a year you got me crying through the phone In the darkness around me you're the only light I see I tried to find something else, but you're the only one for me I can't let go, I want to know how long the candle burns (I've been bruised for so long I don't remember how we used to be) The final call will end it all and hit me where it hurts (I've been waiting for you to put me out of my misery) In the place I'm now staying it's safe and the weather is warm But on the beautiful days I secretly long for a storm Our ship was sinking at sea, we knew we'd never reach the shore And now it's over, I know I'll never be the same anymore

City 08:04
We followed the rain All our efforts were in vain But this place has different stars It has forgotten who we are The homes are cold and full of ash And in the rooms lies broken glass The road we walked took stranger turns Between the bridges that we burned I don't know if I can leave the past I don't know if I can make it last I woke up again All dreams have to end It's seven years ago All that was lies under snow I don't know if I can leave the past I don't know if I can make it last
