Suffer (VW Remaster)

With a moon half-empty
And a sky that’s gone to waste
And the twilight offers cold embrace
The amber of autumn fades
And the grays
Of summer’s mistakes
And the dreams we
Try to replicate
They fall away
Isn’t this world
Something wonderful that
We were made to suffer
Both it’s honesty and cruelty
Today
With a heart half-empty
And a light I’ve yet to see
And the sadness takes a hold of me
And fire-white burns like
Agony
Entropy
We all fall apart
To the cadence
Of our bleeding hearts
They fall away
Isn’t this world
Something wonderful that
We were made to suffer
Both it’s majesty and cruelty
They fall away
And is grace not
Something beautiful that
We were made to suffer
The lucid touch of clemency
They fall away
Isn’t this world
Something wonderful that
We were made to suffer
Both it’s majesty and cruelty
They fall away
And is grace not
Something beautiful that
We were made to suffer
The lucid touch of clemency
They fall away
Isn't this world
Something wonderful that
We were made to suffer
Both it's majesty and cruelty
They fall away
And our tears become a sanctuary
We are made to suffer
With tenderness and empathy
They fall away
We are made to suffer

You're never gonna take me alive
Devoted to demise
You’re never gonna push me aside
And in the twilight
It falls apart
Under the half-light
You kiss and
Sell your beauty goodbye
Like radio waves
You pass me by
Video takes
Your thoughts online
Your sullen style
It’s all pretend
Sinking in
Sentiment sublime
All of your truths are
Laced with lies
Your violet smile
Kisses red
Like revenge
Are you ever gonna
Kill your disguise
The breath behind the lies
Will I ever see the whites of your eyes
And in this
Hot white light
You fall apart
It’s such a
Sad, sad sight
The touch of
Dissonance and demise
Like radio waves
You pass me by
Video takes
Your thoughts online
Your sullen style
It’s all pretend
Sinking in
Sentiment sublime
All of your truths are
Laced with lies
Your violet smile
Kisses red
Like revenge
Where do we go now
Where do we go now
Eye for eye
And this for that
You hit me
I hit you back
Eye for eye
And this for that
If you kiss me
I'll kiss you back
Like radio waves
You pass me by
Video takes
Your thoughts online
Your sullen style
It’s all pretend
Sinking in
Sentiment sublime
All of your truths are
Laced with lies
Your violet smile
Kisses red
Like revenge

Seaside (VW Remaster)

All the flowers in the
Field of hours
Have withered away
And the sky that used to
Light our lives
Is ashen grey
As the clouds
Kiss the fault line
And look back as if to say
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to feel here
And our dreams
Left like children
By the wayside
And our psalms
Sung like secrets
By the seaside
Ahh
Could heaven come more quickly
Ahh
And lift us from
The embers and the cinders
That we remember
Of the fires that
Killed our hearts
And left us withered and grey
There's a tear inside of all our lives
That time won't mend
And there's a shroud around our
Saddened eyes
Here at the end
Yet our hopes
Shine like beacons
In the half-light
And our prayers
Violent whispers
By the seaside
Ahh
Could heaven come more quickly
Ahh
And lift us from
The embers and the cinders
That we remember
Of the fires that
Killed our hearts
And left us withered and grey

Matter (VW Remaster)

You can say the words
To their faces
They won’t listen
You can sound it out
Any way you can
And
You can tell your dreams
To the world
They won’t listen
Your hopes and invention
Don’t matter to them
But they matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers
Sing like sirens
To me
Standing by like a hero
With nothing to save
Up against all the
Water, wind, and the waves
And if you
Take a moment just to
Shield your face
Shut your mouth
Let your secrets
Keep their place
Oooh
You’ll tell them to no one
But you can tell them to me
You can tell them to me
And your sentiments are diamonds
To me
They matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers sing like sirens
To me

Take this down
Like a rite of passing
And hear this sound
Before it fades
To never
And goodbye
Is the only sigh
We just won’t believe it
And tonight
As the sunset dies
Nothing comes to mind
And you hold in your hands
My dreams like sand that
I forget
Yet somehow you remember
And the tears that pass
Like broken glass of
Our regrets
Are somehow warm and tender
Well it’s seventeen past Sunday
And November’s starting to burn
Strike up a match
Let’s raise it higher
Tonight
And the skies
Where our wishes fly
Relinquish all their glimmer
To your eyes
Like the northern lights
Start to shimmer
And you hold in your hands
My dreams like sand that
I forget
Yet somehow you remember
And the tears that pass
Like broken glass of
Our regrets
Are somehow warm and tender
Take me where we could be
Take from me the memory
The future is our history
Tonight
Take me where we could be
Take me anywhere
Take from me the memory
I wouldn’t even care
The future is our history
Right now tonight
Tonight
Tonight
And you hold in your hands
My dreams like sand that
I forget
Yet somehow you remember
And the tears that pass
Like broken glass of
Our regrets
Are somehow warm and tender

Anything
And everything is
Meaningless when
Forever's waiting
We're captive to this place
For now
So we take our hopes and
Hold them away
Chain them to the
Throes of yesterday
But the chains are getting tight
Tonight
Our dreams are in our sights
As we're lifted out of nowhere
With sunspots in our eyes
We see the glory of our lives
Our hearts are burning bright
As we're lifted out of nowhere
Our songs all stay behind
To sing the story of our lives
In this place
Where loneliness is
Neverending
Condescending
And leaves a bitter taste
For now
And our hearts weighed down with
Nothing to say
As darkness steals our innocence away
But now we're seeing light
Tonight
Our dreams are in our sights
As we're lifted out of nowhere
With sunspots in our eyes
We see the glory of our lives
Our hearts are burning bright
As we're lifted out of nowhere
Our songs all stay behind
To sing the story of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
The story of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
The story of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
Take our hopes and
Hold them away
Chain them to the
Throes of yesterday
The chains are getting tight
Tonight
Our dreams are in our sights
As we're lifted out of nowhere
With sunspots in our eyes
We see the glory of our lives
Our hearts are burning bright
As we're lifted out of nowhere
The pain all falls behind
Behold the glory of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
This is the story of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
Behold the glory of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
This is the story of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives
Behold the glory of our lives
Story of our
Glory of our
Story of our lives

Glory of our
This is the story of our lives

You’re in my headlights
With nowhere to run
And I’m the huntress
And I’m getting my gun
I’ve got your eyes wide
Well this is so much fun
And we’ve just begun
And when we dance I’m
Bringing hell in a dress
And with a glance I’ll
Leave your heart in a mess
With every word I’ve
Got a lie to confess
Your eyes are so committal
This might hurt a little
And you
Take take take
The worst of me and just
Make make make
It seem like
Hell in the way
You break break
The best of me and just
Shake shake shake
The rest of
Heaven away
This thing that we’ve become
Might seem like love to some
All the lies you’ve fed to me
They leave me standing empty
With nothing to say
And like a cross you
Give the weary a rest
And like a vampire
I take it right in the chest
And every chance I’m
Putting grace to the test
And I feel
So numb
It’s such a tragedy
This violent love affair with
Vanity
Every stupid promise is a
Fallacy
I’ll make you settle for less and your
End has come
Oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh-oh uh oh
And you
Take take take
The worst of me and just
Make make make
It seem like
Hell in the way
You break break
The best of me and just
Shake shake shake
The rest of
Heaven away
This thing that we’ve become
Might seem like love to some
All the lies you’ve fed to me
They leave me standing empty
With nothing to say

Our dreams seem far away
Before the sunrise
Will grace let us betray all the tears that
I’ve cried - I’ve cried
I’ve felt so alone
I’ve pled - I’ve bled
I’ve wondered why
I’m lost - We’re lost
But if we close our eyes
We might see the light that we dream about
Hope still has a name and it sets on fire
Hope is still a flame that is burning inside
Hope has made a way for
all the dead hearts to arise
And our hearts ignite
Ascending though it feels like we’re falling
Our dreams cast light like stars burning bright
Hearts held high
Ascending for the first time
we’re soaring like birds in flight
The truth seems hard to say
So far past sunset
Can grace still take away all the things that
I’ve said - You’ve said
Don’t say it again.
I’ve hurt - I’ve heard
I’ve listened to lies
I’m scared - I’m scared
But I’ve a feeling that
This could be the last time we fall apart

Blind (VW Remaster)

Staring in the face of fallacy
Stepping on the glass of serenity
Sleeping in the arms of irony
I find you.
You taste the crime
And slowly remind me
Of times when the "light"
Was blinding to me
And the glow is getting bright...
But it's not light.
Sipping from the cup of tragedy
Entangled in the web of vanity
While spitting in the face of sanity
I find you.
The peace in your mind
Is deceptive by design
The pride behind your eyes
Is blinding
And the glow is getting white...
But it's not light
It's the daylight breaking down
In your mind
As the darkness tells it's solitary lie
It's not light
It's not light
It's not the light
That's blinding.

Weekend comes and
all we’ve said is done
(Weekend comes and goes)
But we can’t get past
All the memories that we’ve pushed away
All the feelings that we’ve led astray (led astray)
And all the Saturdays & Sunday’s someday
I see heaven in the things you say
And the devil when you look away
And you breathe breathe like it’s the first time
And I feel feel like it’s the last time
I see heaven in the things you say
And the devil when you look
Look the other way and
I feel my heart resign
With empty hearts here we both stand
And the second hand...
It goes tick - tock - tick - tock.
The culmination of our hopes and fears
And all the minutes stretching into years
I wanna make the circle stop
Every time I hear the
Heaven in the things you say
And the devil when you look away
And you breathe breathe like it’s the first time
But I feel feel this is the last time
I see heaven in the things you say
And the devil when you look
Look the other way
And our hearts beat out of time
I wanna walk and you ask me not to
You wanna talk with his arms around you
You’re holding to something -
But something’s changed

Keep your heart in my safe keeping
Kiss your eyelids while you're sleeping
Promise, that I'll always love you
This is, all about all of you
Lovely darling, precious starling
Reaching to the stars, I’ll steal them all for you
Calling, crawling, spinning, falling
All for you
Warm your skin with sweet embraces
Leave your troubles - only traces
Dreams like raindrops
Across the treetops
All about all of you
Lovely darling, precious starling
Reaching to the stars, I’ll steal them all for you
Calling, crawling, spinning, falling
All for you
All about all of you

Crybaby (VW Remaster)

I just need some time to get this right
You’re so Hollywood
So I guess you should be in the limelight
Sing high and swing low
You’ve got the look, can’t you put on a show?
I’ll tell you why it’s gonna blow
You’re a star but nobody knows
Shine so bright
Well come on, crybaby!
I wanna take you, take you for a ride
A cigarette in your mouth
With lips that scream, now now they pout
So take your last drag
‘Cause the song you sing
Well it’s sorry and so sad
What you do — I’ve seen better
But at least you’ve found an easy lover
Rock hard and scream louder
But you leave me with nothing to remember
And so you can’t stop crying
About all this love you’ve lost
At least you have your stories
It’s just too bad they’re boring

Away (VW Remaster)
03:13
|
|

“I’m so alone” - I hear you say
I give my hand, you push it away
We can’t decide on love or suicide
Through the great divide
The earth, the moon, the tide
If I had a way we could make it
Would you take it?
If we could
Pray the words that endear us
Awake the vows inside
The heavens sigh like the groom who sees
The first glimpse of his bride...
And takes her away.
Come take us away
And sometimes we lie
To make the truth seem kind
We cast redemption aside
Just to make it go away
Well I’m done being afraid
I’ll kiss the wounds that I’ve made
And let the scars remain
Come take us away!
Can you take us away?
Away.

It’s a dark and lonely winter
You say “this hell’s never felt so cold”
Yet there’s the faintest smell of cinders
And a truth yet to be told
And a sound surrounds your secret
Something I’ve heard, but can’t yet see
Like whispers in the twilight
The secret now revealed to me…
It’s a flame
Burning just behind your eyes
I’m praying for rain
But nothing will put out these fires
That burn and blaze
Wait
Let’s not forsake all these years
If you’d just stay
There’s so much truth still to hear
And I’ll listen all night
To your hopes and every fear
I won’t say it’s alright
These things always end in tears
You’re fanning the flame
And everything is catching fire
The things that you hate
And everything that you desire
Are one and the same
Running to escape this pyre
And cover the shame
Hiding just behind your eyes
Through green and grey
We turn, turn with hearts on fire
We feel it inside, we’re steeling to die
To burn, burn what we conspire
We cast it aside to keep us alive
There’s a flame
The things that you hate
The tears that you taste
We burn it away
There’s a flame.

I guess I had to be kind of blind not to see
How it was bound to be in vain
Hung around for the plot to thicken
While being stabbed again and again
This time I'll burn all bridges leading back
'Cause I'm not sure I'm strong enough
I simply have to bail
I'm far to frail to be at the receiving end
I feel torn apart and abused
Battered and bruised
I guess I'm stupid to nurture
an addiction to hope
But it's not my only vice
I surrendered again
thought things would change
Now imagine my surprise
This time I'll burn all bridges leading back
'Cause I'm not sure I'm strong enough
I simply have to bail
I'm far to frail to be
at the receiving end
I feel torn apart and abused
Battered and bruised

Let's Go! (VW Remaster)
03:36
|
|

You’re just in time
So step right up to the starting line
We smile and all the while
You’ll walk this mile in single file
March like a soldier
Left foot first and right down the middle
We’ll give the order
If you can make it
We can break it
and take it away!
We’re never gonna give our youth away
It’s not political
Everybody wants to give us words to say
It’s just so typical
Watch your mouth when you’re talking to me.
Scrape your knees in disloyalty
Genuflect my audacity
As I step on all your decency
We’ll sit and watch you (I told you so)
Hold fast to virtue (I sold your soul)
Integrate or antiquate
If you can turn it
We can burn it and take it away!
Let’s Go!

Someday (VW Remaster)

There's a hint of grey that stays
Behind our eyes
There's a certain hope that fades
In winter light
Our dreams they die like autumn
And we don't mind
Our tears they kiss the water
Yet we will find that
Someday
we will leave here
And someday we might fly
If you put your head to the window
Press your ear to the grey sky outside
The rain that's tapping the window
Will dry… someday.
There's so many words we find
Are in the way
You could put your hand in mine
We'll run away
Our thoughts they dance like shadows
in firelight
Regrets they shine like candles
Burning through the night
But someday…
someday.

This is the story of our lives

Epiphany

Taking ahold of destiny
coming undone
blind the soul and
stain the feet
quenching the sun
there's an effigy of who I was
I'm tearing it down
an epiphany of who I've become
deaf to the sound
turn it around
reaching for something
just to push it away
dreaming of something
to wish it away
screaming at something
to kiss it away
a bitter sea of empty days
holding me down
a symphony gone out of phase
I'm deaf to the sound
turn it around
reaching for something
just to push it away
dreaming of something
to wish it away
screaming at something
to kiss it away
longing for something
while stepping away
I'm stepping away.
so far away

Take naivety from me
and leave me isolated
All at once I feel so free
yet so captivated
You make the endless waves of time
seem so temporary
You’re my missionary
Emissary.
Adversary.
You define the line
between human and divine
In this empty place
intrinsic grace so necessary
See the skies divide
When hope and fear collides
From this cemetery
offer me this sanctuary
There is violence when You move
Yet I’m stationary
Devastate all my design
And make it arbitrary
You break my legs yet leave my knees
My will penetrated
I’m eviscerated.
Consecrated.
Lacerated.
You define the line
between human and divine
In this empty place
intrinsic grace so necessary
See the skies divide
when hope and fear collide
From this cemetery
offer me this sanctuary
This heart You break it
and make it sacred
These eyes awaken,
this breath is taken from You

Anything and everything is meaningless
When forever's waiting
We're captive to this place... for now
So we take our hopes and hold them away
Chain them to the throes of yesterday
But the chains are getting tight...
Tonight
Our dreams are in our sights,
As we're lifted out of nowhere
With sunspots in our eyes,
We see the glory of our lives
Our hearts are burning bright
As we're lifted out of nowhere
Our songs all stay behind
To sing the story of our lives
In this place
Where loneliness is never-ending
Condescending
And leaves a bitter taste... for now
And our hearts weighed down
With nothing to say
As darkness steals our innocence away
But now we're seeing light...
Behold the glory of our lives.

Turn of events
Where seconds give way to moments
In my mind I lose these faces
Forget these places
Try to find some traces of me
Time is an unseen thief
It steals my thoughts and memories from me
I'm left behind with this apathy so tempting
Where minutes don't seem so kind
I find that...
Time comes, and I don't matter
Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered
I stand, and time just passes me by
While the clock on the wall is racing
I fight for shreds of feeling
Inside, time keeps stealing mine
A dreamless dance
Where instance defies existence
In this life
we feel confined
We fall behind
To the rhythem of the endless design
Time is a clock in the heart
The seconds pass before they can start
I'm torn apart
With this apathy, so empty
Where seconds seem so unkind
I find that...
Time comes, and I don't matter
Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered
I stand, and time just passes me by
While the clock on the wall entraps me
I fight for shreds of feeling
Inside time keeps stealing mine
