Winning

What holds your hope together,
Make sure it's strong enough
When you reach the end of your tether
It's because it wasn't strong enough,
I was going to drown,
Then I started swimming
I was going down,
Then I started winning
Winning - winning

When you're on the bottom
Crawl back to the top
Something pulls you up,
and a voice you can't stop,
I was going to drown,
Then I started swimming,
I was going down
Then I started winning
Winning - winning

Sense of Purpose

Look in my eyes
See the lust and the love
Look in my eyes
When I'm talking to you
I'll take my life
Into my own hands
I'm the one that I will blame
I'm the one that understands

What are we going to do?
While we still got the strength to move
What are we going to do?
I'm asking, I'm asking you

A call to arms, a call to use arms
A call to brains, a call to use some brains
A call to the heart, a call to have a heart
To have a sense of purpose again

Are we where we want to be
All wrapped up in our safety?
Comfort and complacency
It hurts me, it hurts me so

What are we going to do?
While we still got the strength to move
What are we going to do?
I'm asking, I'm asking you

Contact the Fact

You mean the world
The real world to me
So watching you go
Is like watching a film in slow motion
Everything I touch
Turns to dust
And everyone I turn to
Turns on me

Strange the way
We accept our lot - living together
Strange the way
We self-destruct - dying together
All the beauty gets taken for granted
All the pain gets put in the way
Put in our way

Contact's the fact - I need it
Contact you because I need you

Take me out
You take me out of myself
You can take what you want from me
Because I know you
Hate it when I'm crazy
It's a side of love
You never wanted to see

Contact's the fact - I need it
Contact you because I need you

Skeletons

There's a gaping hole in the way we are
With nothing to fill it up anymore
No flesh no blood just broken bone
A frame to hang our lives from
We're living like skeletons
Won't someone wake the dead in me
Won't someone shake the dust off me
Give me water give me bread
But don't give me up for dead
We're living like skeletons

Judgement

I can't tell it's now or never
If we don't act now it could be now and forever
The moment is near, the moment of truth
But just what scared the life out of you?

You're so still, silent motionless
I can't watch and wait just to pay the price
Of your judgement

I will push at the powers that be
I will pull you close to me
And if I fall I go gracefully
No regret's, don't pour your pity on me

You're so still, are you so lame?
I can't watch and wait just to take the blame
For your judgement

Can there really be someone up above me
Who judges me when my time is up
I can't believe, I can't believe
That I'm not the one that I should trust

He's so still, silent, motionless
I can't watch and wait just to pay the price
He's so still, he's silent, motionless
I can't watch and wait just to pay the price
Of his judgement

Fatal Flaw

A fatal attraction
Been growing away from the light
And I can't come back now
Until I drag myself out of this vice
Sense of distance when you stand next to me
I've made a strange disappearance
One that no-one can see
You can't reach me anymore
Turn to face the fatal flaw

We all have weakness
Moments that we can't contain
Right now I'm all weakness
I'll make another retreat again
Sense of distance when you stand close to me
I've a strange disappearance
One that no-one can see
You can't reach me anymore
Turn to face the fatal flaw
A fatal attraction - fatal flaw
Been growing away from the light - fatal flaw

Possession

There's a devil in me
Trying to show his face
There's a God in me
Wants to put me in my place
I've got to get a hold of myself
I've got to be in possession

There's a war being waged
That'll never be won
It's the struggle for possession
I've got to get a hold of myself
I've got to be in possession
And I've got to ask you
What do you want from me?

You know the deeper you cut
The less there's left of me
I've got to get a hold of myself
I've got to get a hold of myself
I've got to be in possession

The Fire

Fell into the fire
Fell into the fire
I was led by the heart
Led by the heart
Drawn towards the heat
Drawn towards the heat
Too fierce to contain
Too fierce to contain
I'm a willing victim of circumstance
I'm a willing victim of circumstance
I can't change a thing
I can't take the chance
I can't change a thing
I can't take the chance

Silent Air

Thunder in the air,
Before a storm that rips,
Anger in my heart,
A finger on my lips,

You showed me that silence,
That haunts this troubled world,
You showed me that silence
Can speak louder than words

Words end in disaster
On the rocks, in pieces,
I know something lives on there,
But I can't say what it is,

You showed me that silence,
That haunts this troubled world,
You showed me that silence
Can speak louder than words.

New Dark Age

In the darkest times
Darkest fears are heard
And from the safest places
Come the bravest words
Some make a quiet life
To keep this
Scared old world at bay
The dogs are howling on the street outside
So they close the curtains, hope they go away
And it's pressure from all sides
Coming down around our ears
Stuck in this room without a door
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And here it comes, a new dark age

I catch your eyes
Before they fall to the ground
We're running out of time, breath and steam
We're running down
They're burning witches
Up on punishment hill
Dying proof in the power of autority
To exact it's will
And we've broken our fingers
Broken our faith
Broken our hearts so many times
They can't be broken anymore
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And here it comes, a new dark age
Here it comes….

Hothouse

I've got sweat breaking out
But I try, try to conseal
I've got a savage root
And it's a growing pain

Feelings pushing through
Pushing through, through 
Through, through, through you
And I found myself in the hothouse
I found myself in the hothouse

Spend too long looking in
Looking in from the outside
Now it's time to give in
Time to get inside

Feeling's pushing through
Pushing through, through 
Through, through, through you
I found myself in the hothouse
I found myself in the hothouse
