Oh, once in a while, I learn how to smile And horses shadows and rain on stone No god here, I'm sure This must be the cure for all this carrion and aimless drift Retreat from the begging, and invites to the wedding Revelation means nothing here In time we forget our need to devour All those stories of tortured souls Crawl into your arms Become the night forever Coiled and close, the moment froze Deform to form a star Here on Earth, together I got time to share and a well used stare This smile isn't pure, certain or sure Cold precision was never there The way we uncoil, return to the soil Flaws are everything and chaos reigns Crawl into your arms Become the night forever Coiled and close, the moment froze Deform to form a star Here on Earth, together I got time to share and a well used stare

I feel worn out There's no point drinking When life slows right down And holds you up above the water line So sleep will never come One last time, then Before I lose you You don't have to pretend I know that love for you was just security There's no part of me in you

I think it's time that I got off the kitchen floor But is there really any point at all? Waking up this morning felt the same I better sleep while life is so mundane It could have been yesterday that I locked the door I blocked the windows up so I can't be sure Now I haven't even got the will to eat I'm lame and self-obsessed, that I will concede I'd like to light a cigarette but I cannot The lighter's dead and the gas has been cut off I'm the one you always seem to read about The fire inside my eyes has long gone out There's nothing left for me to say or do Cause all that matters disappeared when I lost you

Scintilla falling behind Did you arrive at the place that you came from? A cultivator of dread The paranoia took root in your cold heart Neurotic up with the dawn Prescription pills to ignore, the map is useless If you would dare to dissolve You'd get the thing that you craved for so long now

I'm a collector, I collect anything I find I never throw anything away that's mine And I'd collect you too if I was given half a chance And trap you under the glass and add my autograph I catalogue, I preserve, and I index And file you into my collectible Rolodex I keep the rubbish what other people give away And keep all of the pieces in a metal tray Hoard Collect File Index Catalogue Preserve Amass Index I'm a collector and I've always been misunderstood I like the things that people seem to always overlook I gather up and catalogue it in a book I wrote There's so much now that I forget if I don't make a note If I collected you and put you in a little cage I could take you out and study you every day It isn't easy being me, it's kind of lonely work My obligation to collecting is my only thirst (Hoard) (Collect) (File) (Index) Catalogue Preserve Amass Index Hoard Collect File Index Catalogue Preserve Amass Index

Fall of winter, fall of all sundowns The treachery of the coldness of your smile Violator among the trees they hide Perambulator, fade into the night Buzz killers stride Fall into the tide headlong Twin sister stars Bouncing off cars are headstrong

A fist will make you understand intention To raise alarm is underhand, so I cut off the phone I bind you up with tape and catch some TV It's getting late, the shadows in the street are watching us Check for fibres in the gaps between the teeth, the floorboards Check the fingerprints, go through the trash Maybe I just wanted some attention Compulsion seeks its own way in rejection of the light Every story needs to have an ending We might as well give up all this pretending and clear the air The night is crawling closer to the action Your mouth is driving me into distraction, you talk too much Well every story needs to have an ending We might as well give up all this pretending and clear the air (Not out loud anyway, we're in polite company) (My mother wouldn't like that, she really made me on-) (It's right in the building, you know) (People can be so vulgar at times, don't you?) (No, probably not you because...) (Well, now I might need to-) A plague inside your home, I'm Raider Defiling all you own, Raider A cat among the crows, I'm Raider The butcher and his prose I'm Raider I'm Raider

Well that's something that you're laughing at me And I hope you know what it is that you're laughing about 'Cause it won't be long now 'til they're reeling you in The same situation, the same disappointment you bring So I hope you're happy with the impression you made Deep in denial, like you planned it this way But you're lost to me, like dust I have cleared from my eye Your words have no meaning, so I stare up into the sky Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud Breathe in now, breathe out loud
