I Can't Escape Myself

So many feelings
Pent up in here
Left all alone, I'm with
The one I most fear

I'm sick and I'm tired
Of reasoning;
Just want to break out,
Shake off this skin

I, I can't
Escape myself

All my problems
Loom larger than life
I can't swallow
Another slice

Seems like my shadow
Mocks every stride.
I learn to live with
What's trapped inside?

Heartland

Setting out, city in your sight,
You want an overview of the underground,
The pressure's off, so your feelings rise,
You got to hit that peak before you crash back down,
You got to believe in a heartland.


All mixed up in the heartland heat,
In a chemistry of commotion and style,
You' re thrown in, you've got to lose yourself
Before you find yourself back in exile,
You got to believe in a heartland

Hour of Need

I hate the quiet times
I need some company
I miss the noise of life
The silence deafens me

The seconds split so slow
The minutes I can't kill.
I keep an eye on the time
I catch it standing still

In my hour of need. (3x)

Try to find my place,
Sometimes I get so near.
I journey aimless days
But always end up here

In my hour of need.(3x)

Words Fail Me

My need gnaws at me
My need claws at me
My need lurks inside
It won't be pacified

To say what must be said
And nothing else instead.
To reach, and grope no more:
To grab the core

Words fall,
Words fall short
When I try to bridge the gulf
They fall short

Words fail, words fail me
Trying to speak from the heart
Of my heart

Information
Recitation
Communication
That's the complication

Missiles

Deep in the country
The factories hide
Where they make the missiles
That run our lives

Who the hell makes those missiles?(3x)
When they know what they can do?

They've got the money.
They've got the know-how.
It's all above our heads;
It's coming down now

Missiles cause damage
And make an eerie sound.
Missiles leave carnage
Where there once was a town

Who the hell makes them?
Who the hell makes them?
Who the hell makes those missiles?
When they know what they can do?

Heyday

You're so young to be confused
Well I know the time it starts:
All the conflict seems to fuse
Leaving you in the dark

Find yourself all at sea
Never thought they'd let you drown.
You were trying to find your feet
Can't believe they'd cut you down,
Can't believe they'd cut you down

In your heyday
Heyday.
In your heyday
Heyday

You've been pressured into the hard sell,
A victim of a nation's scheming.
As the expectations swell
You retreat inside your dreaming

Jeopardy

We are young
But are we strong?
We've held out
For so long

Now we're in
Jeopardy.
Now we're in
Jeopardy, jeopardy

We knew our
Ideals were high.
The lower we sink,
The less we care why

I know we're in
Jeopardy.
I know we're in
Jeopardy, jeopardy

Lost the will
To keep up the pace:
Dead on my feet,
Defeat on my face

I know I'm in
Jeopardy.
I know I'm in
Jeopardy, jeopardy,
Jeopardy, jeopardy

Such a slow
Steady slide
Takes away
So much inside

And what's left?
Jeopardy.
What's left?
Jeopardy, jeopardy (3x)

Night Versus Day

From the dark hill the huddled homes
Shine like sequins and sapphires;
Families each sealed inside
The frail fortress peace of mind requires

A switch is snapped, and the borderline
Between night and day is gone.
Between shifting sea and firm ground,
Between savage and civilisation

Sleep guides unseen
Into new territitory every night;
Abandons us to what we keep
Enslaved within the hours of light.

Resistance

Caught in the comfort of my trap
Where it's easier to die than to fight back.
Half-dead, but I hope it's not too late
To take some action and change my fate.

Hold on,
Hold out
Resistance.

Lost in the white-out, I'm under the snow;
The more I struggle, the further down I go
Down I go.
Half-dead, but I hope it's not too late
To take some action and change my fate.

Resistance.
Resistance.
Resist! Resist!
Resist! Resist!
Resist! Resist!
Resist - resistance

Unwritten Law

We stab at our faith
To keep it alive.
We draw the blood
But the law draws the line.

A hand is a hand
A knife is a knife
Blood is blood
And life is life.

We could go anywhere
It would still be the same.
A change of climate, a change of air
All the pressure would remain.

I can read the unwritten law.
I can read the unwritten law.
A hand is a hand
A knife is a knife
Blood is blood
And life is life.
The unwritten law.
The unwritten law.

Desire

In the dark
Near the heart
Close to real
Desire.

In my words
In my eyes
Can't you see
The desire?

We will wait
For the night
We will wai
t For desire.

Bittersweet
Laugh and cry
Tears that taste
Of desire.

Hunted down
Through the days
Caught in nets
Of desire.

Feel the loss
As it fades
Can't forget
Desire.

Keep in touch
Keep in track
Of this thing
Called desire.

There'll be times
When we'll do
Anything
For desire.

Keep in touch
Keep in track
Keep within the reach
Of desire.

There'll be times
When we'll do
Anything
For desire.

We will wait
For the night.
We will wait...
