In Black
02:23
|
|||
|
face it you're cracked
the walls in your room are cracked
the blood in your bowel is black
and you lack
no turning back
now that your world is black
you are not what you see
only what I see
and the beast is in the hollow
and his heart reeks of sorrow
face is cracked
walls in your room are cracked
blood in your bowel is black
and you lack
and our feast is in the hollow
time to reap from all this sorrow

Eyed

|
twisted thoughts of shame
no one's there to blame
for this yearning deep inside
and the truth that sings from your eyes
could burn the lies out of mine
if the proof remains
won't it be in vain
answers lie in pain
forcing you insane
as the time moves on
where do we belong
because the scars won't go away
and the hurt that lies in your eyes
there's no reply this time
if the proof remains
won't it be in vain
answers lie in pain
forcing you insane

Safest Place
02:31
|
|||
|
lay me down
with all your grace
sing me to rest
sing a new death
I can't find justification
as my eyes
heavy with hate
fall into a new fate
must never wake
|
||||
5. |
Hold
01:27
|
|||
|
where you stand
(hold me now)
not where I am
(hold me now)
I'm not prone to change anything
when I say
(hold me now)
what will you say
(hold me now)
when I walk away
where will you stand
|
||||
6. |
Fear
02:51
|
|||
|
with your fear in hand
time to stand
put away what you will
put away what you hold
so dear
with his hate he finds
with your love
your blinded
wanted to believe
wanted not a thing
too late and then you see
the dream is gone
wanted to believe
wanted not a thing
too late and then you'll see
the dream is all gone
|

Disappear
03:41
|
|||
|
are you sure it's safe
is what she said
her turn to wake
now she's gone
it's getting late
she's the last to leave
fist autumn's day
as the wind sings the song
the leaves follow along
the tree is left to wither alone
should my sun set for good
will my darkness cloud their world
or to the dark will they sing
a song of thanks
to find me resting
the winds sing their song
the leaves follow along
the tree is left to wither alone
|

Play is Done
01:59
|
|||
|
when the play is done
and the wonder just can't go on
where will you turn to look
when the play and the wonder
no longer dawn
when the pain begins
when sins start pulling in
what will you turn into
when the pain and the sins
pull you in
when you become one
and the hope has long since gone
who will you turn to hold
when the hope that forced you out at night
is no longer there

The People
04:14
|
|||
|
stumbled upon a truth
one lonely day
picking up broken pieces
of our yesterday
I know there's loss of faith
I've lost my own
we all take that dark road
and we take it alone
people down the street believe
they want to know
if you'll go
people down the street believe
they want to know
if you'll go
be my sleep my tonight
kill my tired eyes
drift right out of life
hold my eyes shut tight
if ever they may open again
may you be damned to endless night
let her be my last sight
|

Last Ditch
02:06
|
|||
|
there's a pain staking
it's claim to my heart
it's the point in time
where we part
there's a lie forming
on the tip of your tounge
you say it's real
well I'm done
and I wouldn't lie on a Sunday
knowing I left you there
it's a last ditch effort
there's a world dawning
out the window of a dream
in this world I don't see three
there's an arm reaching
for the light of the sun
there's a being falling
dow to the ground
and I wouldn't lie on a Sunday
knowing I left you there
it's the last ditch ever

Summer's Eve
03:09
|
|||
|
on a summer's eve
as I neared sleep
came a feeling that deprived me of
my sleep that night
should I question
a moment that's been stripped away
but it's hate
and I can't keep it
locked away
on a summer's eve
hoof prints in the mud
on a summer's eve
brought back the way it was
on a summer's eve
felt the distance in her eyes
on a summer's eve
brought back the way it was
in a rare dream
she walked with me
in this rarest of dreams
I tried to save her fading light
with a gesture
the truth she hid burned as bright as hate
and both love and hate
poured from my hands with rage
on a summer's eve
hoof prints in the mud
on a summer's eve
brought back the way it was
on a summer's eve
felt the distance in her eyes
on a summer's eve
brought back the way it was

Lance
01:28
|
|||
|
Lance, you know
he trusts in you
give to him the chance
to breathe your truth into some words
a dog with no blind man to lead
a song that lacks true melody
your a rhyme that needs a reason
he's the wind caught between seasons
it's not too far away
before his knife slashes away
jealousy, misguided fantasy
the lies that need to be believed
|
||||
13. |
Far-Seer
03:33
|
|||
|
I look to the ground
he looks to the stars
he claims he can see
the face of God
then he turns to her eyes
the truth has no place to hide
he relates like a melody
to her sad song
and I thought that understood
but I'm not the boy I thought I was
I can only look down
I can't look beyond
he's a far-seer
he sees through the scars
she's a believer
in those stars

Olga
03:48
|
|||
|
have you needed sorrow so bad
cry out it's name in the dark
when you were bad
no fear shows
there's no wind
the glow of your eyes
is his until the night is gone
then sun rains down
from above
and burns
turns you away
tomorrow we'll wallow
in sadness
for sorrow
condemned to walk the garden
amongst flowers and sunshine
with sadness came madness
her last pet was found dead
and buried under leaves
the skin read "together"
|
||||
15. |
Now
01:51
|
|||
|
now the sun won't shine
I've come to realize it now
the way they grin
and the eyes that stare
I won't deny
or even begin to try
|

Room
05:04
|
|||
|
shadows on the ceiling
a whisper in the dark
a trace left in the forbidden room
from twenty years before
from your eyes
come hurtful sighs
ashamed of who you are
we deny that we ever knew
the meaning until now
shameful sister don't run away from me
shameful sister don't run away from me
shameful sister don't run away
run away

Farewood Meriden, Connecticut
Farewood recommends:
You Don't Love Me Yet
by Dialogue from a Silent Film
Fresh sounding post punk out of NYC. Combines elements of pop, post punk, Goth, and perhaps even a bit of Glam to achieve a sound that's familiar but new. Solid musicianship, and cool lyrics.
