Subtle Ways 03:36
You know me better than most, you know the feelings I keep, you know that memory is fleeting, you know the ways of our sin, you know the ways I would touch you, you know the wars I have fought, you know the ways I would kiss you, you know me better than most... Babe, don't you know that the seasons are dead? Babe, don't you know that our reasons will hold till' the end?

I wish it wasn't too late, to turn back the dial, redesigning our fate, legions of denial, tell me what I wish to hear, tell me the things I once knew, reinventing our fear, displacing our own truths... Show me where you take those you love, I promise I won't break. Show me where you hide those you keep, I promise I won't sleep. I wish you'd just tell me why, you chose to die inside, wanting your own world, control of your own soul, tell me where you wish to go, show me what you always hide, reinventing our fear, displacing our own dreams...

Curtains drawn towards the sun, flexing the beating of time, wondering where miracles go, when all seems to lose its design, perplexed by the ways that you move, fixed in the cage of this fate, stranded with figures I know, counting the seconds that go. Wanting you was a fatal mistake, every move you make, every step you take, feels like treason, treason... every move you make, every step you take... Take me where the shadows talk, take me where rivers are red, flowing with things you can't see, dodging the bullets of time, trying to win my way out, trying to make sense of this, waiting for reasons unknown, thinking of places I loved...

Sunfaced 04:02
You can't see the place that I'm in, empty walls and the echoes of your skin, you knew the way that it felt, you knew you would run away, You can't see the hurt that I'm in, broken words that choke the air thin, you never wanted to hear, my words that would just disappear, Follow me to the roads of the sun, I promise it won't burn, I promise it won't hurt. Follow me to the time we once lived, I promise it won't burn, I promise it won't hurt. You can't see the place that I'm in, fleeting faces passing through the night, you knew that it wasn't right, you just wanted to get away. You can't see the hurt that I'm in, broken words that choke the air thin, you never wanted to hear, my words that would just disappear...

You sat there waiting for me, unsure of what to do, the kids they were all laughing, souls in disguise, your eyes they were playing games, with my expertise, following your hands, desire taking over... Monica, you know it's useless too.. Monica, don't even try... I tried to speak in code, thoughts racing through my head, I couldn't represent, what I was supposed to be, yellow lights surrounded, the presence of your gaze, trying to numb the blood, I was in a daze...
6.
Ashes to ashes we fall, towards death we begin to crawl, figments of shallow design figures of fading desire, I wish I had more time to say, these thoughts that just won't go away, the shadows are fighting the scene, why can't you just stay with me? Ashes to ashes we fall... Letting go all through the night, destined to die I begin to see, figures of shallow design, figments of fading desire, I wish I had more time to say, these thoughts that just won't go away, the shadows are fighting the scene, why can't you just stay with me? Ashes to ashes we fall...

At the Dance 04:16
Standing alone, watching you dance, left to the mythos of your circumstance, stealing my gods, fighting my thoughts, knots in my head, things I had said, And if you'd just wait and see, I'd show you what's hiding in me, just take a look all around, just take a look and you'll know... Standing alone, watching you fall, left to the silence, saying nothing at all, wanting to live, calling the night, numbing myself, feeling alright. And if you'd just wait and see, I'd show you what's hiding in me, just take a look all around, just take a look and you'll know... And if you feel like crying, I'll be there, and if you feel like letting go, I'll be there.
