Life a thousand days ago, Hours sinking in a hole Try to melt into the walls, Now I am here inside the bowl Here in the cold Where no one stands behind me Now a thousand days have gone Again, like the sun and moon at war And give or take a thousand more Here in the cold Where no one stands behind me I'll be on my own side You know where to find me You know where to find me Here in the cold Where no one stands behind me I'll be on my own side You know where to find me You know where to find me Born with a thousand little holes And a tear to fill up every one I'll be on my own side, I'll be on my own side I'll be on my own side

Mountains all around Altogether we stumble Eleven million clowns Every one with a razor out And the smoke lies on the valley floor And the blood dries while we spill some more Once we were the end The end of the long road Leading to the start Of the ever-invading crowds And the smoke lies on the valley floor And the blood dries while we spill Endless summer, needless space, Fill it all up with a void Mountains all around Altogether we tumble down And the smoke lies on the valley floor And the blood dries while we spill some more

Time is my friend 'til it ain't and runs out And that is all that I have 'til it's gone Try to build a home, bones of birds Singing in the cold and fall to earth Hey, sometimes she won't cry When the smallest one is drowned Too weak to survive probably... maybe Try to look out through a hole in a bag Circle above looking down, bird of prey Try to build a home, bones of birds Singing in the cold and fall to earth Hey, sometimes she won't cry When the smallest one is drowned Too weak to survive Too weak to survive Too weak to survive probably... maybe Try to build a home, bones of birds Singing in the cold and fall to earth Hey, sometimes she won't cry When the smallest one is drowned Too weak to survive probably Hey, sometimes she won't cry When the smallest one is drowned Too weak to survive Too weak to survive Too weak to survive

Though I can't put my hands on you I can feel you now In the bones and the blood flowing needles on the ground In the ether I sail to you floating on the fumes Run aground on the shore for you simple wreckage Taree walk out and raise the road to my tilted shadow I only know I've made it home when I drown in your ghost light Though I can't put a name on you I will cry it out In my heart I will hold what my bloody hands have dropped Run aground on the floor for you simple wreckage Taree walk out and raise the road to my tilted shadow I only know I've made it home when I drown in your ghost light In your ghost light Taree walk out and raise the road to my tilted shadow I only know I've made it home when I drown in your ghost light In your ghost light Taree! Taree! Taree!

Lay here under bombast and gloom A parade of ghouls marches by Headed down to Nero's tomb Raising flags and burning rights Warm yourself by a god-made fire Pinocchio with spinning eyes Laugh aloud under bomb-lit skies A victim's smile never lies You have always lived your life like a joke with no time What you gonna do about it until you get the punch line right? On the cliff above stormy waves Can't decide to climb or drown Up is folly and down disgrace Under thumbs over written The ladder is poison have to find a new way around What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? You have always lived your life like a joke with no time You have always lived your life like a joke with no time

Promise something, kill me right away if I start to get slow And don't remember how to separate the worm from the apple Don't wait 'til tomorrow, kill me right away if I start to listen To the voices telling all the mouths what they need to swallow Do that for me, it's the least that you can do Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you Burn out any memory of me ever breathing 'Til I'm born again I was thirsty, I remember that you gave me some water I was angry at everything at once you gave me no trouble I was crying, I remember that you gave me your shoulder Do that for me, it's the least that you can do Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you Burn out any memory of me ever breathing 'Til I'm born again, born again Do that for me, it's the least that you can do Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you Burn out any memory of me ever breathing 'Til I'm born again, born again, born again, born again

I woke up with my feet nailed down And my head moving the speed of sound Had a dream I was caught in a maze And I couldn't find my way back out Some were born to move mountains around And some to rot away in jail I get an itch and when I am scratching Everything can go to hell And how far is halfway there? I didn't see you on the trail Did almost become good enough? Should a good life be so hard won? Is that what our dreams have become? Sometimes when you're shooting an arrow It can fly across the sky so proud I would go all the way to the sun If I didn't have to come back down And how far is halfway there? I didn't see you on the trail Did almost become good enough? Should a good life be so hard won Is that what our dreams have become? Have you got a car? Somewhere to sleep? Someone who loves you? Something to eat? I would say you're doing better than most Though maybe not as well as some And how far is halfway there? I didn't see you on the trail Did almost become good enough? Should a good life be so hard won? Is that what our dreams have become? Is that what our dreams have become?

Let it swirl around you now and let it fall apart Put it back again and find every piece but it's not the same And you never can be sure just how it looked when you started Turn around again now and do it all over and over Like a doll from a bad dream When it's gone worse dreams are born Steaming in the line of fire you're wild and free Everybody in, sit down and keep on holding on Pull your arms around black clouds drown and the rain is walking Bodies in the ground by now down seven feet and rolling Hanging on the tail of the sunrise til you can't let go Like a doll from a bad dream When it's gone worse dreams are born Like a doll from a sad dream When it's gone worse dreams are born Like a doll from a bad dream When it's gone worse dreams are born Like a doll from a sad dream When it's gone worse dreams are born Worse dreams are born

In the eyelid's mouth On the iris tongue When a scream crawls out Only the tear has won Only the tear has won Who let the water run down? (cry internal) Who let the river run dry? (live internal) Who let the water run out? (burn internal) Who let the river run wild? (die internal) Who let the water run down? (cry internal) Who let the river run dry?

I'm addicted to feeling, stealing love isn't stealing Can't you see that I understand your mind? I'm a walking believer, I'm a ghost and a healer I'm the shape of the hole inside your heart Not looking for a brighter side Crooked steps will take me higher I don't care if you want to cry I'm a soldier for hire killing all you admire And you live in denial but that will change Not looking for a brighter side Crooked steps will take me higher I don't care if you want to cry When blood is raining down, it cuts a deep deep river And we're diving, yeah, we're diving Right behind you, right behind you Right behind you, right behind you (Right behind you...) I'm a walking believer, I'm a ghost and a healer Can't you see that I understand your mind? Can't you see that I understand your mind? My crooked steps right behind you My crooked steps right behind you My crooked steps right behind you My crooked steps right behind you Right behind you, right behind you, right behind you
