Funeral For A Friend

Ink stained fingers promise everything and nothing And therein lies the story Its no easy sentiment, a conscious effort To save the last... I love you just the way you are So don't give up just yet We all know its hard, when its so hard Forgive me, Forgive me...

Water broken voice saturates a microphone into a receiver with no tongue offering little to what it knows Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats when heaven is remembered but never seen through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes Eternally, th...

Scared to open up these eyes See just what's inside Twisted and cold This house is not a home Help me now I'm dying here all alone. This is not a new game So don't think that you know. Casually I confide Awake and paralyzed Forever in one word For...

No one beyond the capital They heard them into trucks like animals With no food for a hundred miles or more So take them back to familiar shores There's no shame in wanting what others call a home And one day you will wake up and know you're not alone And kno...

This is the everlasting. Still life from angry heads. For you to always let me down again. Cold blue in automation. Grave dancers on our beds. Breaking pieces of ourselves again. And the aftertaste, no deposit at the door, Drive me dead, waiting for th...

Awake, I am awake, and I'm still alive out here, awake, I am awake and I'm still alive out here, blinded, by this light, it is all that surrounds me. Deep water, I can smell the blood, how long, how long before they come, showing teeth, bearing fever,...

Why do we need this Who was it that said That great things come to great men Well that fucker lied to us There's nothing here but a wasteland, But I can still see the graves of the dead but it's useless most of us would rather sit than see this wound that we...

The stars will be your nightlights tonight And I will be your lullaby They dragged it up And continued with the beatings And how you bleed, oh Yes, you could bleed forever And it burns and leaves the rope tied tonight It burns and leaves the rope tied The st...

As the sun sets on battlefields i hope you can save me i hope you can save our wounded hearts distance makes my heart seem colder Distance makes my heart seem older just enough to cut the air from your lungs (from your lungs)as the sun sets (we push an...

Carbon copy aftertaste The taste of lips so delicate Stop the click and watch the room Sitting pretty in full bloom Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won't kill Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won't kill Hold you...

Cold hard lines, Across my face, into a mirror, I don't recognise myself anymore. The deepest blacks, the empty grey. There is no going back, there is no inbetween. How many friends, Can I lose, Before it all, Makes sense? How many friends, Can I lo...

Waking up at three am, drowning in the haze Of broken dreams and broken promises. Scared of making a fucking difference, Could you answer me, and tell me the truth. Leaving this place so empty handed, Beaten down, with a bad taste in my mouth. Leaving t...

Shouldering the blame Walking into frame Like a lighted silhouette Against a cotton sheet Smothering the crease Tin can in hand Waiting for god to come around But he never comes around He never comes around Quiet like a mouse Building up your house Just to t...

Shot Who shot the bullet That killed the air tonight? Without a thought, without a reason Take a gun called hate Up against your heart And pull the trigger Take a gun called hate Up against your heart And pull the trigger It's over, it's only over It's only...

We kick the bucket And they drink us dry, Non essential work down on supply, We till the soil and work the fields, Another twenty years my fingers bleed. You've gotta believe it, It's gotta be seen to believed. A crisis of faith and an honest mistake, It can...

I called the house to see if anyone was home Question the silences the negative response Stayed to see the sunrise Raising hell over the square Didn't lose the sense of promise Laced upon the air Education was a simple learning curve Ruined by the lack of any...

Where's the emotion? Tuned to the sound of sincerity Without connection The lesson doesn't come for free Senseless distractions Your spoken words are just a lie These interactions The desperate act of fleeting minds Constant illuminations With no hope of pres...

Closing folding like a star Bring you back to see the lights Bluest water falling down on your skin On your skin Keep you eyes locked away In some lonely place Don't stop, don't stop When the music's over Crosses made to bare the weight You never bothered to...

Dealing out the agony within charging hard and no one's gonna give in Living on your knees, conformity or dying on your feet for honesty Inbred, our bodies work as one bloody, but never cry submission Following our instinct not a trend go against the grain unt...

Our lives are lived By loving disaster, ending disastrous love Forever obsessed by the essence of death We celebrate it So sing it loud, I’m not giving up on you or anyone I know So sing it loud, I’m not giving up on you or anyone I know Reaching out f...

And I wish it was sweeter The taste of your mouth Because right now, it hurts too much to be Closer than this And with one hard look I can tell That you've had enough of these useless sunsets [Chorus] This could be a movie And this could be our final act We d...

The red poison of your lips The red poison of your lies Is where I kissed the blood from Just at the corner of your mouth where I can see the white of your smile Up to my neck when I'm breathing without you Without you Up to my eyes and I'm seeing without yo...

You never feel it until it’s too late, You never see it coming, It hurts my head when you tell me that everything’s alright I’ve tried to write something meaningful but I feel I’ve lost my stride Can’t think of anything witty or flattering tonight You l...

ongratulations it's a boy Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy Sticks and stones will always break His bones can barely take the weight Of your breath breathing down his neck again Keep it to yourself You don't need to ask Everything was golden Memories w...

Dear friends of this academy Romeo is bleeding to death To see a friend bleed to death what for Some of metaphor that I cant see? So I'll drink until I see it This sky will make me sick So I'll give up on you I'll give up on this This sky will make me sick I'l...

Forget the letters just sleep sound tonight Pull back the covers without a fight But as we dance by emergency light I fail to swallow my tongue And I'm still here bleeding So pull this switch and see my body twitch Oh, as we dance on this memory A light left...

And the scars he will leave And the pain he inflicts Will burn out over time Make us stand out of line. And the ash will break upon the shore Just like you, You will break upon the shoreline Upon the shoreline... If the timeing is right We'll make sure to be s...

Why do we sleep, oh little one? Forget the ringing bell They won't be dark for long The sleep embrace the truth All we left before we... There's nowhere left to run There's nowhere left to hide Time will steal another piece From our hell And time will tell L...

The days I've felt alone. And the sea, it brings me back again. So that I can see my wife. And I can see my child. Home, I'm home, it never changes, Same old faces, same old places. I stared into oblivion and found my own. I stared into oblivion, into...

Tied to the testing of wills, where my heart breaks and spills Left to the sight of the sky, in your arms I'm defined Thrown to the wolves in the minds of your enemies, in the minds of your enemies And I'm stone in the eyes of your foolishness If this is...

Tied to the testing of wills And my heart breaks and spills Left to the sight of the sky, in your arms I'm defined Thrown to the wolves in the minds of your enemies In the minds of your enemies And I'm stone in the eyes of your foolishness (In your eyes) If...

Growing up, around these streets Never really felt quite like, like anything Expect nothing, and have the chance To really go somewhere, that you can't My love is exploitation Not a passing celebration And I don't want to feel Like a part of history Gonna t...

No matter where you go They'll fucking tie you down And bleed you from your wrists (bleed you from your wrists) Well, it's better that we leave Leave it this way (leave it this way) And just to soften the blow I'll steal all of your kisses (your kisses) And s...

Revealing your desire, Upon these ashes.. In your fear, It will swallow the river that divides. There's no life in here at all, To seek this self decay.. There's no life in here at all, To take these dreams away.. This burning ever, Will conquer all you see,...

I’ve got a bone to pick with this So come on, just say it If there's a reason to be believed, Then no-one is hurt. The pain that it caused, deeper than any wound can make. Man alive, but feeling dead inside, Day to day with the daily grind of Same old...

Maybe I'm a pessimist What if all the grey clouds in the sky Follow me home tonight? Maybe I'm an atheist What if there's no god waiting to greet me At the end of the working week Maybe I'm just delicate Maybe I am... Just not clever enough to persuade Ever...

I watch the snow fall on the streets, Dead hearts are waking up, up to see. The black lines crossed across The sweep of the bridge. A man along the edge, Drops away his pain. Screaming out for another feeling, Paper houses, cutting corners. Screaming...

Steal this night away So that we're not waiting The feeling in my gut Makes my head ache And the feeling that i get Walking downstairs The feelings of surprise Before my eyes It's a miracle It's a miracle On this christmas day On this christmas day It's a mir...

In the black and white, wounds all bound Sitting at the table, biting nails all short The consequence of adultery As he rips you from your skin We're all paying for this and in your prayers You believe, you believe YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (just for the firs...

Scattered seeds and breaking storms Won't make a decent lie for you Naked and with every breath you climb the stairs Step by step and I don't need this And I don't need to be saved Five steps away from this cliff top And birds sing their praises To this wear...

I'm never going to change, I'm never going to change a thing and what is there to gain, pretending you're something when you're not and there's nothing left of how things used to be. To nail the blame of your mistakes to anyone but you. I'm cutting the c...

Mark these words And hear their truth, They mean nothing to me. Your handshakes to play fake, Make me want to scream, This engine runs harder, Than your lies ever could, Than your lies ever could, Just to mark these words. What price do we pay, For something...

WASTING TIME, it's over and ended WASTING TIME, we deserve HOLD THAT LINE, they ask us in safety Hold that line, when we talk I can see the headlights and pavements My legs can't carry me that far If this distance isn't enough they'll cry Another river to see...

We're sinking, sinking into the stone We're drinking, drinking our way to hell. There's nothing we can do to save the skin on our backs again. So I'll just sit back and we’ll just pretend that it's all better. When I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the c...

I'm on fire Close to the water And I'll be saved again Staring at the ocean, over and over Will I ever see them again? Why'd they leave so soon? Find a way to bring me home I don't wanna be alone again Not again Find a ship to take me home I don't wanna be a...

There are miles left to walk And this desert never lies Broken bottles on the floor Cigarette kisses on the walls Did you forget to call To find your way back home? Out for another drink You find yourself alone And with the truth I feel inside Could you beli...

Launch the ships The walls are closing in Close our eyes In the deepest darkness Sail away, sail away to find them Half a life, half a life among light Sail away, sail away to find them Half a life, half a life amongst them Out Of Reach Too far gone to be sa...

Open windows above the sill, flowers bloom to make the air less chilled, Condescending statements of people in their cars, Waiting for the radio to save their lives, are you watching, Tell me are you watching, are you listening at all? If it’s better prot...

Scared to open up these eyes See just what's inside This tree is dead and cold This house is not a home Help me now I'm dying here all alone This is not a new game So don't think that you know Casually I confide Awake and paralyzed Forever in one word Foreve...

Can't pretend that you're nothing special You've got to look at all of your options You can't decide what to go for When it's all about trust It's all about trust You see yourself on the TV You read your magazines You can't explain how it's come to be this Sto...

Calm the storm, we man the ramparts, In a moment we are, prepared. This waves unrest, finds us all dead, One night beyond these walls. Under turrets we close the call, Let the water rise above us all. Under turrets we close the call, Let the water rise above...

The promise that he made Left broken on the floor The bruise left round your heart Left you begging for more The promise that he made Left broken on the floor The bruise left round your heart Left you begging for more Left you begging for more THANK YOU for...

Just to say we're sorry For the black eyes and bleeding lips When it's hard to forget How many lies we told, Or how we'd grow Before i said goodbye So lets scrape our knees on the playground It's not your fault You feel okay, It's too late in the day...

Define the marks prepare to laugh So sorry you never had your reasons Loose the lips and sink the ships A cycle broken and amused Rules and games playful moments That won't last no matter how it feels Ropes that strain to catch the picture frames No never wha...

Question, nothing will come of it Replace, Destroy the parts that never seem to fit Cancer spreads through the nerve, through the tissue and we burn Infecting visuals giving nothing in return Resolutions, they never come The words come out, like vipers tongues...

Can't beat the best ones A little closer maybe a bit too close You function you turn out A flawless performance Turn your camera away from me (Woah) Spill your guts in 8mm (Woah) Put your focus where your mouth is (Woah) You're the only one who's fading here...

Altzing daydream serenade Preaching god and country like lines on a telegraph Seems like we all want to be So very different but nothing changes Young and defenceless, waiting son at arms Beating hearts against a tide of one Young and defenceless, waiti...

You start working with the same device The narrative is breaking down again You're standing down the same old asking price The cards are drawn the fires getting warm All works and play there's nothing left to say They wouldn't want it any other way Running f...

You are bleak You are beautiful No matter what they say With this light And tired childish games Swept us all away Sing it out Sing it out for all of us Sing it out Sing it out for all of us This is strange This is wonderful This grip chokes us all It take...

It falls apart. Clockwork hearts, running out. Rusted needle in the vein. We all fall down We find our place, in circuitry We worship our gods, the TV screens. We substitute, our lives for another. It's kill or be killed, It's our nature. To give u...

You say, it's not going to work out Why do you have to tell me now? Is there a difference in anything you've said and done? Or is it just the way we've been pretending? I'm leaving, I'm leaving Do me a favour don't even think of me now Just when you thought t...

[Number dialed] (Hello!?) And there's the rub, we can talk for a while But I have sweet nothings to say You don't want me anyway, you don't want me anyway So why, why should I stay? So goodbye to you and your life Your new best friends, your confidence And I...

I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes And make it go away How long... How long must we sing this song How long, how long... 'cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight... Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end...

Shove- the momentum drags us under Your constant disregard your constant aggravation Tell me nothing but home truths and you show me starvation On a black and white screen, this is your movie queen Stop and think a second (tune in-tune out) It's something mor...

Guess who just got back today? Those wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think those cats are great They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downt...

And it came from nothing But there was always something And when the sky burned brighter And the nights grew darker Hold on to everyone That I hold dearest To my heart And I won't forget them I won't forget them Fading, always fading Never needed more Waiti...

Killing you Might be the only chance I have Of recovery But I know it's so severe As you know it would be The punishment, it fits the crime. So let's take this knife (Take this knife) And run it down your chest Does this feel like love? (Feel like love) Here...

Wasted journeys, time spent better knowing nothing and looks, they don't help. Prying eyes wander west to where oceans meet gold, and you wonder why my heart, it breaks in two. Hours pass into minutes, kissing the seconds away, and days, they seem to melt jus...

Spitting from the bridges, like a bird perched on a branch, I'm wilting like a tree that will never let me breathe. Soul soldier with your gun held high, where does the crow fly, soul soldier with your gun held high, will you follow it home. For the road tha...

I'll never understand Why I have been saved The sea sings its master plan Over the waves Sun rise upon the line buckling drift the path that I walked along is lost in the drift So far away from my home, will the stars return? The wave of oppressive lights t...

As you swallow this confession And leave me with this scar As it takes another second To let me go too far It doesn't seem to matter, any more The road less traveled Is taking me home I could write another letter And never write one word As it takes another...

Throw that punch, swing to hit the target It's a pointless game, one better, less played Suicide to kiss your kids goodnight Will you take from them, what they've taken from you To be the last one, who will sing you to sleep To be the last one, who will sing...

Kick start your heart Just like an engine battered and over-used Are we really ready? I don't think it's any use If you think it feels close to you Hey angel, there's nothing left to loose Please, believe in what I have to say The symptoms that you have are...

There’s a point to make That sometimes goes unheard Like the blood in your veins You often forget What we are is a species on the brink Who’ll be left to pick our bones clean And the vultures swarm high above Ready to feed of the last of us Sacrificial lamb...

Is a lie just the truth Uncovered and relinquished A passion for all young fools Is a lie just the truth A question left unanswered To feed the failure of our choices And in my hands our blood recovered And for our faith we're undeserved And in my hands our b...

All the words that we have to say They don't leave when the moment comes We know we have to wait As the days go on and the places fade away to dirt and to dust, it all fade away And the waiting is the hardest thing to take In an moment more before we break I...

Scarred open wounds the needle, it dances and glows through the skin under lights that burn so bright and roads we see at night the light has faded through the windows destroy to destroy landscapes and people you know and people you don't wards of empty pati...

See the world outside, beauty in a fire, Crimson gold and we'll unfold. We're all to blame for this, we're all to blame for this, Crimson gold and we're our fault. Welcome home armageddon, It's been long enough to miss you, I hope you do it well. We tal...

We look past the obvious We blind ourselves to the truth No escape, resistance is futile The old roads lead back home A place where I belong I lay my head where I lay my hat (Affection, redemption) A clenched fist screaming There's pain and then ther...

Give me something to believe in Something that is real A moment of reflection What should I believe? I've lost my innocence If you see it around please tell it to call (I can't stomach, my own stomach) It can't tell me truths I need When what I feel and wha...

The waters colder at the edge And they dived for hours Past sundown Until the body was wasted Did they conspire to this? Did you conspire to this? Thirty three and a half Until the end As we sway from ear to ear And your heels looks so beautiful Against the ca...

They stand to fight for nothing. We show how stupid we've become. As fortune favours only, those who care too much to see. Oh, it will never be okay, as some will say. We stand to fight for nothing, so close your eyes and stay away. Don't believe their headli...
