Disconnect 05:19
Black circles in your eyes In waiting, still waiting Disconnect from this light All waiting, still waiting in here In here, but you’re not here This dry spell so choking Suffocate, slowly Disaffect, drown in lies All drowning, still drowning in here In here, but you're not here In here, in here, but you’re not here All these years  Still seeking some love in these eyes All these years Still chained to no love in these eyes Disconnect, disconnect the love in these eyes Disconnect, disconnect the love in these Disconnect, disconnect the love Disconnect, disconnect the love

I wanna find a drug I wanna find fate I wanna find truth I wanna find a saint I wanna feel numb I wanna not succumb Wanna not hate Wanna find a saint Any old saint I wanna find love I wanna see your face I wanna be a drunk I wanna get a taste I wanna not hide I wanna not divide Wanna find a saint Any old saint We fight and give way We fight and give way I wanna be your drug I wanna be your fate I wanna be the truth I wanna be your saint I wanna not lie I wanna not divide Wanna find a saint Any old saint We fight and give way We fight and give way

Once I was tall, straight and kind Like a man that still believes in heaven Once I was full of luck  And all the dice I ever rolled came up seven But in the end all the big men are broken Once I was full of love and hope  And the strength that comes from “together” Once I was so powerful and sure That all of this would be forever But in the end all big men are broken I once was a warrior Once I was a trusted man with no  promises unbroken Once I was not alone, not unloved  Not bathed in apologies unspoken But in the end all the good men are broken I once was a warrior Once I was Once I was drowned in the echoes Of all of our words unspoken But in the end both of us were broken I once was a warrior

Window 03:32
I am not well I’m not how I used to be Seems I’ve stumbled and I fell Better roll down a window  I think I wanna get out We are not fair  Not how we used to be Have we lost the capacity to care Better roll down a window  I think I wanna get out We’ve driven past the signs  Much too far for you and I For there will be no possession Yes there will be no possession I think I’d better get out We could just dream Pretend we are as we used to be We could just roll down a window We could just roll down a window I think I’d better get out We could just roll down a window We could just roll down a window

If you ever want If you ever need If you ever feel the tentacles of greed Easy to succumb Easy not to try Easy to ignore the rationale of why Sometimes when we want Sometimes when we breathe Choke up on the elements  The elements of need Haunted by a soul Guilty by design Held down by the self contempt It gets you every time Gets you every time I leave it up to you To get the nerve to fly Caught up in the elements  The elements of why Everywhere you turn Everywhere you hide Keep it locked inside of you  It gets you every time When the nail finds the hole It gets you every time I leave it up to you  To get the nerve to fly So caught up in yourself You never even try Everywhere you turn Everywhere you hide Keep it locked inside of you It gets you every time

Mary Will 05:11
Try to squeeze the light Out of the morning Can’t face the flood Can’t face the calling It’s been two years Maybe longer Face up to this Make you stronger Things you’ve done you’ve done No taking it back Things done can’t be undone You done crossed that track She won’t stand for you  She won’t stand for you She wont let it go She’s so had her fill If she won’t forgive

stayed till her son was gone Mary never moved Just like she’s done for him Maybe she’d do for you Maybe Mary will stand for you Maybe Mary will stand for you In the cleansing rain You stand by her In the Roses Miracles will occur Never to forgive Never yourself Not even Mary’s son Dared to offer help      Maybe Mary will stand for you Maybe Mary will stand for you Maybe Mary will have a word for you

We leave the past alone Turned from an obstinate stone One by one through one into one we slide We lead a desperate life A love that will not requite One by one through one into one we slide Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need All of us like the feel, like the deal of a love when it’s alright All of us close the eyes, feign surprise, suck up lies like it’s alright All of us pick the side, pretend and hide, take a cut like it’s alright All of us stare at the sun, blind for one, come undone when it’s not right Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need We leave the best behind Onward we charge blind One by one through one into one we slide Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need All of us like the feel, like the deal of a love when it’s alright All of us close the eyes, feign surprise, suck up lies like it’s alright All of us pick the side, pretend and hide, take a cut like it’s alright All of us stare at the sun, blind for one, come undone when it’s not right Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need and don’t look back Take what you need

Hey, I ride the waves I rule the seas  From my TV Hey, I am a king I make my own worlds They are for me So, how goes the war? How go your days? They slip away And we all want a piece We find no peace It slips away Hey, did you meet my friends? I make my friends They are like me Hey, I’ve no concerns I never earn It all comes free So, how goes the war? How go your days? They slip away And we all want a piece We find no peace It slips away So, how goes your war? How go your days? They slip away And we all want a piece But find no peace  It slips away
9.
First the right then the left one in front of me Single steps, baby steps  Twelve steps down on your knees Begging your god to please come save you Periods of clarity they wash over me Just a haze of the days worth remembering Well too many of those days fail to surface Fly me a flag I can see Yes, I’m over this Barely a day goes free God, I’m over this Holding my hand to the fire Just to feel some light If ever you dare come back know I’m over this You’ve only to feel my hand No more the fist Raining down more regret than a man should bear Waking up in cold sweat Want to touch your hair Got me a new life Got me new life Same old sweat Want a new life Got me a new life  Same old sweat Same old sweat Step number nine was a day worth remembering Awoke alive in the hope you’d forgiven me The sound of unanswered rings The sound of unanswered rings Deafening Got me a new life Got me new life Same old sweat Want a new life Got me a new life  Same old sweat Same old sweat

Satellite 05:32
When I wake to darkened skies I tell myself all the little lies Lies that make us whole again The ones that help us carry on and just pretend When I stare into the night I see you there as a satellite Out of reach up in the sky Never touching down and you’ll never try Better just a dream you are A satellite lost among the stars Better just a dream you stay Better if we just, if we just look away Better just a dream you stay Better if we just, if we just look away
