Now That We Are 03:25
lyrics

Now That We Are Now that we are without dimension now that we are bare before the verdict of the light now that we've survived the intervention now that we have seen beyond the corners of our sight Now that we are beyond ambition Now that we hunger in the absence of the thaw Now that we are all below suspicion Now that we agree that Defiance is the Law now that we are broken now that we are prone now that we've awoken now that we are known Now that we are beneath detection now that we are ghosts within our very skin now that we've perfected imperfection now that we are without, what are we within Now that we are polished, now that we are bled now that we are fettered by sentiments unsaid Now that we are left to meet the tragedy our good intentions fed now that we are tempered now that we are worn now that we're diminished now that we are torn now that we are cautious now that we are dry who now will recall us who is left to testify Now that we are faithful Now that we are pure now that we're committed to the struggle for the cure now that we chastened now that we are bright Now we are invited back into the glaring light now that we are beyond sensation now that we speak with knowledge of the night now that we are tempting to Temptation now that we are scarred, now that we are right (outro) (fading) Now that we are without dimension now that we are ghosts within our very skin Now that we are all below suspicion now that we are without, what are we within Now that we are beneath detection Now that we hunger in the absence of the thaw Now that we are polished, now that we are bled Now that we agree that Defiance is the Law...

Better believe it It's a constant midnight but I hold the bright light who will you believe, me or your own eyes I'm the only thing between you and the unseen your “truth” is just a brand name for the sweetest lies you're gonna have to trust me when I say the new way is the only way you can curse me now, but you're going to thank me some day I'll tell you all that you need to know and you'd better believe it, better believe it I'll put on a hell of a show and you'd better believe it, better believe it I've seen things you don't want to see if you want to stay alive better listen to me I'm going to look you straight in the eye and you'd better believe it, better believe it it's something to see when I'm on the TV cue the graphics and the music, it's time for the Big Game I'll cut & grind the news until its easy to choose no time to explain, but I'll tell you who to blame fooled you once, shame on you but this time I swear it's true so listen up, we've got a lot of work to do I'll tell you what you ought to feel and you'd better believe it, better believe it I'll tell you how much of this is real and you'd better believe it, better believe it I've got my finger on the pulse of the land only I can understand I'm going to take you all for a spin and you'd better believe it, better believe it it's not what you know but what you believe the real power is the power to deceive with the money and the cameras on my side how will you know if I ever lied? I'll tell you all that you need to know and you'd better believe it, better believe it I'll put on a hell of a show and you'd better believe it, better believe it I've seen things you don't want to see if you want to stay alive better listen to me I'm going to look you straight in the eye and you'd better believe it, better believe it you'd better believe it, better believe it you'd better believe it, better believe it

Beauty Like a Bullet 04:00
lyrics

Beauty like a Bullet Black dress and a subtle line in the sand her beauty's like a bullet you pushed her down then put a trigger in her hand now she's gonna pull it tempts you with a razor kiss makes you think you've never felt like this loses you with the morning mist until you don't know if you still believe believe Long drive and the chaos of her hair you can barely take it silence like a dying soldier's prayer you don't know how to break it reach for her just to douse the flame but you feel her taking aim lose your breath and say her name and stand waiting for the fall her beauty's like a bullet fading scar and the whisper of a losing game she lingers like a vapor find yourself looking for your own name in the morning paper things look clearer in the morning light but you see her in the corners of the night put your finger to the tender spot where the pain is moist and hot her beauty's like a bullet white lace and a perfect alibi she leaves it all behind her you tell them that you can't identify but you carry the reminder and she haunts you like the memory of someone you will never see until you're at the door with the key and you know you're not alone... her beauty's like a bullet her beauty's like a bullet her beauty's like a bullet her beauty's like a bullet

For You 04:31
lyrics

I'm a ragged flag in a hurricane for you I'm a jagged stone on Nirvana's path for you I'm a tender throat for the axeman's oath I'm the Might Have Been that haunts us both I'm all these things because I'm nothing much to you I'm Aphrodite's hunchback fool for you I'm the maniac that plays it cool for you I'm the perfect fruit rotting on the vine I'm the fallen priest drunk on wine I'm a second glance and I'm nothing more to you and still I long for you still I hunt for you still I bleed for you still I stand for you I'm the rusting lock on the ivory gate for you I'm the antidote that arrives too late for you I'm the junkie's vow of "not this time" the reminder of your perfect crime I'm the nothing in Nothing Left to you I'm the fading stain in beauty's bed for you the sophisticate who is giving head for you I'm the blood that smears the Virgin's palms the pilgrim who desecrates the psalms I am multitudes but I'm not enough for you and still I long for you still I hunt for you still I bleed for you still I stand for you still i burn for you still I reach for you still I kneel for you still i fall for you I'm the honest man lying to himself for you...

A Better Me 04:00
lyrics
buy track
A Better Me (for Andy) you float into my life like an echo of a dream and I start to understand what everybody means when they say You’ve never lived until you’ve lived for your baby and the sound of you laughing makes me think that maybe there’s a chance of redemption in the smallest act of giving and it feels so different to be awake among the living and in my quiet moments I must admit its true as you lay breathing deeply when i look at you I can see a better me will you be a better me you crawl into my corners and invade my intentions and drive me to distraction with a hundred thousand questions can I keep it all together, keep both hands on the wheel now that everything is actual and everything is real will you see a better me in you I see a better me you’re like a perfect mirror where everything is clearer and i hope that you’ll be braver and walk a little farther... I lay awake and worry that the world has gone to hell and the clouds start to gather over fears I can’t dispel but a father finds faith in the belly of belief and when you reach toward me I think with some relief that I can be a better me will you be a better me in you I see a better me will you be a better me

Breathe 03:08
lyrics

Sometimes when I'm dreaming our boat is swallowed by the sea and I wash up on an island no one's survived but me Sometimes lost in the darkness the storm has thrown metro the ground and I awake blind and shaken sure Im the only one around then I hear you breathe I hear you breathe sometimes in the grip of slumber lost in the forest of my mind I search for the familiar but you've left me far behind then I hear you breathe I hear you breathe

Aberdeen 03:50
lyrics

Aberdeen Hey little girl, are you ready to play? It’s time for another who-knows-what day daddy’s tired all the way down to his bones but that’s okay I can step away for a little while, I’ll trade you my time for your precious smile I’ll lift you up but I think you’re much bigger than me in a lot of ways Even though it’s a long road I’ll gather together all the things I’ve seen put them away, save them for the day I can bring the whole world home to Aberdeen Sometimes I feel like I can’t go on then I look in your eyes and that feeling is gone if I ever had a purpose I know that purpose was you you’re my song so little girl, hold on tight together we’ll get through this troubled night it’s a shadowed world but daddy will be your light until the dawn and even though you’ve got so far to go I know you’ll end up where you want to be its an endless show and this is just the first scene and if there comes a day when you lose you way and get lost within someone else’s skin sooner than later, I know you’ll find your way home to Aberdeen and knowing me who could see the way a child could set me free if I made you it’s true that you made me and even though you’ve got so far to go I know you’ll end up where you want to be it may be a while until you understand what I mean and if there comes a day when you lose you way and get lost within someone else’s skin sooner than later,I know you’ll find your way home to Aberdeen

Hand to God 03:56
lyrics

Thank you all for the opportunity to defend my good name and testify there's been a lot of talk about numbers and names and I'm glad to have a chance to clarify Maybe its true that mistakes were made it's true that there might have been some casualties but check out this well-rehearsed look of contrition surely my demeanor puts your mind at ease Hand to God swear with my hand to God Hand to God Stand here with my hand to God I know that it seems like an awful lot of money I know that things didn't go exactly as planned but surely you can't question my motivations when the bottom line's the only line you understand Hand to God swear with my hand to God Hand to God Stand here with my hand to God you can argue rationale, you can argue intentions I know at first it seems like our reasons were wrong but you can't always count on pure providence sometimes men like me need to help things along Hand to God swear with my hand to God Hand to God Stand here with my hand to God

Dark Sea 05:22

Dark Sea Six O’clock in the morning another earthquake in my bones no where left to hide as the coldness crawls inside reminds me that I’m nothing but alone it’s been months since I lost Mary and my boys are all off being men every morning’s a surprise that I can open up my eyes and I don’t know if I can face it again Dark sea Carry me Dark sea Carry me Away I think I’m losing to the silence that’s only ever shattered by the phone I’m haunted by the faces and I remember all the places but there’s only one place I’ve been at home Dark sea Carry me Dark sea Carry me Away It’s been months since I was human even longer since I gave a damn I know I’m supposed to fight but don’t I have the right to say “enough” and walk out like a man? 3 O’clock in the morning I know the fire’s growing dim I’ve been a father and a son but now that it’s all done but I’m not really sure who I am

Things Denied 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Things Denied Every time you’d fall I’d pick you up and dust you off Every time you’d cry I’d catch your tears and make them mine Every time you’re low I’d give you room so you could grow Everything I gave you you only saw what wasn’t there I have fought and I have lied just to keep you satisfied but you can only see the things denied everything you’d feel was trapped beneath what you could reveal every time we’d touch I felt like I had asked too much every single lie I silently let you deny every single kiss left you wanting more than I could give I have fought and I have lied just to keep you satisfied but you can only see the things denied I have bled and i have tried just to reach that place inside but nothing compensates for things denied and if I gave you everything you wanted (would it be enough) and if I gave you everything you needed (would it be enough) and if I gave you everything you wanted (would it be enough) and if I gave you everything you needed... if you were afraid I’d erect a barricade and if you felt cold I’d warm your skin against my fever... I have fought and I have lied just to keep you satisfied but you can only see the things denied I have bled and i have tried just to reach that place inside but nothing compensates for things denied Until I’m broken, until I’ve died on the alter of your pride you wont stop reaching for the things denied

Haunted 03:54

snapshot, vacant lot a thousand little pieces that I forgot stick them all together but the picture’s incomplete flashback to a forward track call it by its name but it won’t come back am i looking in the mirror or is the mirror looking into me last ties to a compromised beginning just the thinnest thread running through my head connects me but just when I begin to paint a fresh coat over might-have-beens a half remembered song knocks me back to way-back-when and it comes back to haunt me yeah, it comes back to haunt me back up, dig it up investigated and incorporated did the heavy lifting, now I’m happy to let it lie turned it over and turned it out tried to understand what it’s all about danced with the demons then I left them there to die but they come back to haunt me yeah, they come back to haunt me comes back to haunt me it all comes back to haunt me jump in to the deepest end peeling off the layers of the thickest skin there’s unfinished business but no witnesses survive breathe the fumes of old perfumes try to make peace, try to find release but the deeper that o go the more the shadows seem alive and they come back to haunt me come back to haunt me

The Downside 04:12
lyrics
buy track
I feel it seeping in this smoke beneath my skin it isn't unfamiliar it's taken me before busted into pieces lost inside the creases and the folds of a letter crumpled on the floor someone's drained the color and I'm thrashing in the water but the harder that I struggle the faster I go under frozen to the core in this interior downpour my mind is full of lightning and I'm waiting for the thunder my senses torn and frayed like the dullness of the blade the dam begins to crumble and I don't think I can take it stupid, mean and numb and the sleep just doesn't come I know this isn't me but I can't seem to shake it l won't look at the mirror, there's nothing there to see but the fog and the fury that's taking over me I am standing on the outside screaming on the inside naked till the storm passes over I've been blinded by the bright side lost here on the Down Side tell me this will all be over soon you're hurt and you're confused when your fire is refused I recognize the light but please don't shine it on me I'm damaged and I'm bruised discounted and unused I know it isn't true but don't waste your time on me the teeth are in my back and the poison's pulsing though me the days are growing black and seeping deep into me I am standing on the outside screaming on the inside sinking like a stone in the ocean I'm blinded by the bright side stranded on the Down Side cut and torn and bleeding raw emotion I have fallen in the midnight naked in a spotlight exposed while the storm passes over i've been taken by the landslide living on the the downside tell me this will all be over soon
