Last November

No voice to kindle the spark
A muse lost in the dark
Cradle me in the stillness
Muffled song, can't you hear it?
Broken body, weary eyes
Suffocated in skin
Misery teach me to fly
Used up just toss me aside
What's left of me let it fade
Sing to me of the stillness
I tried to scream, can't you hear it?
Ohhhhhh
Broken body, weary eyes
Suffocated in skin
Misery teach me to fly
While I'm breathing
Open wide, walls are burning
Defense withered
Take me back to last November
Ohhh, take me back
Lie with me in the stillness
Lullabies, can't you hear them?
Broken body, weary eyes
Suffocated in skin
Misery teach me to fly
While I'm breathing
Open wide, walls are burning
Defense withered
Take me back to last November
While I'm breathing
Open wide, walls are burning
Defense withered
Take me back to last November
Take me back
Take me back to last November
Ohhh, take me back

Burn These Bones
04:07
|
|||
|
The misted air hangs as a stone
Footsteps fall on ash and bone
A chill so thick, no ice can dwell
A cold this dark, it does not melt
Flayed heart to mend
A promise sworn
I burn these bones to keep me warm
Breaking limbs of bark and flesh
For this cold, there is no rest
Without the fire built from regret
Feed the flames with dreams I've wed
An ashen heart
Of love forlorn
I burn these bones to keep me warm
(Vocal interlude)
The smoke, it speaks of lessons told
Heart reminds of days when bold
Fire of past to wash me clean
Strip me of this soul unseen
This skeleton
I swear I'll mourn
I burn these bones to keep me warm

Marionette
04:36
|
|||
|
Voices whisper earnestly,
Suffer quietly
No one wants to lay with fire
Quell your sensitivities
Shame's not pretty
Sorrow won't invoke desire
Take the pain and push it down
Box it up and let it drown
Never let them see you weak
I'll be your marionette
Your puppet love
Oh dance me joyful
Waltz me from above
I'll gaze with glassy eyes
And painted smile
You'll never know me dear
It's all a lie
It's all a lie
Tell me how true love should be
Slow and wary
Show me how to satisfy
Take the pain and push it down
Box it up and let it drown
Never let them see you weak
I'll be your marionette
Your puppet love
Oh dance me joyful
Waltz me from above
I'll gaze with glassy eyes
And painted smile
You'll never know me dear
It's all a lie
I'll be your marionette.....
Oh dance me joyful
Waltz me from above
I'll gaze with glassy eyes
And painted smile
You'll never know me dear
It's all a lie
It's all a lie

Go On
04:24
|
|||
|
No one told me what it meant to fall for words,
The breathless whispers
How promised love, spoken softly sounds so good
How I would love you
I really love you
Go on,
And tell me you won't stay
Go on,
And turn away
No one told me I'd be grasping in the dark,
In search of you
That once you left me I would have to fight so hard
How I would miss you
I really miss you
Go on,
And tell me you won't stay
Go on,
And turn away
Believed in you, but taken for a fool
Sweet words, mistaken for the truth
No one told me that love would make me weak
And so it broke me
That when I slept, you'd be living in my dreams,
Where you would love me
Did you really love me?
Go on,
And tell me you won't stay
Go on,
And turn away
Go on,
I know that you can't stay
Go on,
Just walk away
