We’re not alone No disconnection from the transit of your life It’s not required It’s not your duty to oppose the march of time To see yourself Outside the pages of the Sunday magazines To be inspired Inspired by reasons that give meaning to our dreams Small frail words, steeped in desire, piercing the dark, crossing the line Free us from the shadows of the doubts That punctuate these crowded hours Inside your head There’s only cobwebs and a satellite T.V. And I’m afraid That switching channels isn’t good enough for me Drift with the flow Growing old and multiplying must justify our lives And lose your will So patiently we learn the art of standing still Just watch the clock It watches when you wake and rest and play and eat You say I’m tired It says that now is clearly not the time to sleep Control the urge The urge that tells of instinct, lack of self-control Forget your dreams The dreams when you’re the only owner of your soul Small frail words, steeped in desire, piercing the dark, crossing the line Free us from the shadows of the doubts That punctuate these crowded hours

Deep in the northern night, shadows looming all around the town Spirits go slipping by, send shivers down my spine, another slug of wine Screaming in the night, they’re all driving me insane Ahead old black hospital, relic from the 19th century Inmates are waking up, tortured bellows play upon my mind Screaming in the night, they’re all driving me insane Ravenscraig floods the sky with orange light as night turns into day Police radio crackling, local boys seen lurking, out of their minds Screaming in the night, they’re all driving me insane

Gold 04:11
Don't make a sound I've made it so clear I'll call you when I want to talk These thoughts go round Always so near You didn't care for me, full stop. Hit me with the lights I'm on a show Bathe me in that perfect golden glow Romanticise my every flaw In this town we sleep all day Even though nothing is far away We lie and lie and lie We will grow old There's no resentment A good time laughing is time well spent I’ll save myself You put me on a shelf It's not a cry for attention or help, no more Hit me with the lights I'm on a show Bathe me in that perfect golden glow Romanticise my every flaw In this town we sleep all day Even though nothing is far away We lie and lie and lie Hit me with the lights I'm on a show Raise me up and paint me like van Gogh Bathe me in gold, set me on fire In this town we sleep all day Even though nothing is far away We lie and lie and lie

Floating in the darkness that has made me of it's own In my fever of awareness sometimes I can think of home My mind is full of horror, my eyes can't see the sun And my soul has long since left me in it's fear of what I've done Is it like this in Death's other kingdom Waking alone, is it like this All this time I've kept you waiting with my diamond in your eyes Now your face is but a memory, my pledges become lies I will never come back home again to heal the wounds of time So I leave you, my Intended, and may death be my last crime Is it like this in Death's other kingdom Waking alone, is it like this Is it like this in Death's other kingdom Waking alone, is it like this
