Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind There's a heavy on this mind There's a weight behind these eyes What if I, what if I can't stop the rising tide? Above the undertow, do you see me down below? A sinking stone, wondering how much deeper I can go Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind, oh Oh my head, my head, my head is a prison No one ever visits It's just you and me 'til the end, the end Waiting out my sentence If I find an exit, will you still follow me? A hundred stories high What would it be like to be free from this parasite inside of me? And at my funeral, would anybody show? No pall to bear, just a coffin sitting all alone Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind, oh My head, my head, my head is a prison No one ever visits It's just you and me 'til the end, the end Waiting out my sentence If I find an exit, will you still follow me? To kill what I create To keep the wolves at bay You know I've tried a million times but they still find a way to cage me Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts These dark, dark thoughts Oh my head, my head, my head is a prison No one ever visits It's just you and me 'til the end ('til the end), the end Waiting out my sentence If I find an exit, will you still follow me?

And we both crossed at our hearts But we were hoping to die too soon I still rememeber in that yearbook you told the truth You knew when I crashed into you That we were young and we were coloring over it Holy water still holds my breath 'Cause I can't let go of the words you wrote Amity follow me to the flowers in the attic That I couldn't hold together (wo-oh) I hope you sleep forever Another shot in the dark Maybe we'll drop all the kerosene off at your feet And dance under the fire And all your friends, all your friends say they want into heaven But what if you got there first (But what if you got there) Holy water still holds my breath 'Cause I can't let go of the words you wrote Amity follow me to the flowers in the attic That I couldn't hold together (wo-oh) I hope you sleep forever I hope you sleep forever So when the cops get the call I hope you sleep forever (Holy water still holds my) Holy water still holds my breath 'Cause I can't let go of the words you wrote Amity follow me to the flowers in the attic That I couldn't hold together (wo-oh) I hope you sleep forever I hope you sleep forever So when the cops get the call I hope you sleep forever

You were wearing white under a sunset Jokingly smoked a candy cigarette You smiled at me when you rolled your eyes Something bout' you has me mesmerised Kissed your freckles in the summer We got in trouble, but it was fun We'd oversleep every Saturday You always seem to get your way She's got long hair, nice hips in a sundress Kissed me on the cheek with her Coca-Cola chapstick Her skin's sun-kissed, God blessed the girl That was really good She's sweeter than the honey in her tea More peaceful than the branch of an olive tree She loves to lounge in her underwear She somehow makes friends everywhere She's the only woman in my dreams She's the start of all my memories She's the perfect portrait of young love And I'm just her lucky tag along She's got long hair, nice hips in a sundress Kissed me on the cheek with her Coca-Cola chapstick Her skin's sun-kissed, God blessed the girl And it may sound strange But she makes Every ounce of pain feel like it wasn't in vain One thing's for sure, God blessed the girl She's got long hair, nice hips in a sundress Kissed me on the cheek with her Coca-Cola chapstick Her skin's sun-kissed, God blessed the girl

Out on the road there are fireflies circling Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide Over the hill there are men returning Trying to find some peace of mind Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Under the fog there are shadows moving Don't be afraid, hold my hand Into the dark there are eyelids closing Buried alive in the shifting sands Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Speak to me now and the world will crumble Open a door and the moon will fall All of your life all your memories Go to your dreams, forget it all Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child Oh, sleep my child

There's nobody here There's nobody near I try not to care Dead eyes always stare Let these matters be Don't trust what you see Take hold of your time Step into the line There's innocence torn from its maker Stillborn the trust in you This failure has made the creator So would you tell him what to do (would you) Leave your mark upon the head of someone Who'll cry for his state We know it's too late I turn round to see what was meant to be Faint movement release to rid the disease There's innocence torn from its maker Stillborn the trust in you (I have lost all trust I had in you) This failure has made the creator So would you tell him what to do (I have lost all trust I had in you)

Confessor Of the tragedies in man Lurking in the core of us all The last dying call for the ever lost Brief encounters, bleeding pain Lepers coiled beneath the trees Dying men in bewildered soliloquy's Perversions bloom round the bend Seekers, lost in their quest Ghosts of friends frolic Under the waning moon It is the year of death Wielding his instruments Stealth sovereign reaper Touching us with ease Infecting the roots in an instant Burning crop of disease I am just a spectator An advocate documenting the loss Fluttering with conceit This doesn't concern me yet Still far from the knell Taunting their bereavement Mob round the dead Point fingers at the details Probing vomits for more Caught in unbridled suspense We have all lost it now Catching the flakes of dismay Born the travesty of man Regular pulse midst pandemonium You're plucked to the mass Parched with thirst for the wicked Sick liaisons raised this monumental mark The sun sets forever over Black Water Park

I am awaiting the sunrise Gazing modestly through the coldest morning Once it came you lied Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops I stand motionless In the parade of falling rain Your voice I cannot hear As I am falling again Devotion eludes And in sadness I lumber In my own ashes I am standing without a soul She wept and whispered I know We walked into the night Am I to bid you farewell? Why can't you see that I try When every tear I shed Is for you?

In the corner beside my window Hangs a lonely photograph There is no reason I'd never notice a memory that could hold me back There is a wound that's always bleeding There is a road I'm always walking And I know you'll never return to this place Gone through days without talking There is a comfort in silence So used to losing all ambition And struggling to maintain what's left There is a wound that's always bleeding There is a road I'm always walking And I know you'll never return to this place Once undone, there's only smoke Burning in my eyes to blind To cover up what really happened And force the darkness onto me There is a wound that's always bleeding There is a road I'm always walking And I know you'll never return to this place

I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take This is goodbye Summers is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away Close to ending it all I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside Tear me apart from the core of my soul Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away At times, the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need? Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away
