Silver Abyss 03:53
Follow the streetlights And the broken bottles Her memory fights Its way into your mind Its way into your mind Maybe you'll find her Under this dark and shattered night Maybe you'll find her In the shadow of the pale streetlight No way has been invented to say goodbye to her No way has been invented to say goodbye Follow the streetlights And the broken bottles Her memory fights No way has been invented to say goodbye to her No way has been invented to say goodbye No way has been invented to say goodbye to her No way has been invented to say goodbye

The Leopard 03:50
You take me to the roller-coaster And you throw me off the edge You won't kiss or kill me You just leave me on the fence Oh but the day that you bleed Girl, that'll be some sight Oh yeah the day that you leave Girl, that'll be some sight, some night Take a trip with me down memory lane Take a trip with me down memory lane Now, I'm not a romantic But can't you see I want you? The air I breath is drowning But someday I will have you, you Oh and the day I succeed Girl, won't that be some sight? And the next time you see me Will be down a gun sight, is that alright? Take a trip with me down memory lane Take a trip with your love down memory lane Now dip your hands in the wet cement again Take a trip with me, I'm not good enough to feel pain *tricky guitar solo* Oh but the day that you leave Girl, that'll be a long night And the next time you see me Will be down a gun sight, is that alright? Take a trip with me down memory lane Take a trip with your love down memory lane Now dip your hands in the wet cement and murder me again Yeah, murder me again Un Deux Trois

Leviathan 04:24
This town is like a beach house Unto the stars And you are the sunlight In all the passing cars And this song, it is a reckless Serenade And I could make forests out off All of the people I've played And when you said That you'd been thinking About the scum in the side of your mind You look at your's but you just laugh at mine And when you said That you'd been thinking About the scum in the side of the street Near the place where our eyes used to meet You dance in the moonlight It's all pretense And where the white meets the black All of your words start to make sense And I know a cemetery Where old people bury glows And I could take you for a walk Down the streets that I used to own That I used to own Your feet On the catwalk Where the moon meets the earth Your feet On the catwalk Where the moon meets the earth And when you gave your advice Is this exactly what you Had in mind? It's the epitome of romance It's like the sailors to the stars It's all the people that I know and love All passing out in moral cause It's the epitome of romance It's like we're lucky saying "yes" But when I said that I could read your mind I guessed

Today I found that the future is as dead as frozen nature And only with hope Can tragedy seem distant Put my sleeping pill teeth in Find something sharp again You say that Sylvia would be Proud of my system, but the Teenage murder freaks Are on the TV once again Arms around an actress With their organs being fed They are grotesques of humanity Impossibly thin And passionate in beauty, still (I just want them) Smoke inside a glass house, still (I just want them) Reaching for the new M1's I just want them dead Your rag doll presence Never tainted my existance Fail to move, fail to love Fail to kill what you despise All perfect consumers The attackers aren't abusers It's the empty pangs of happiness That try thumb shut your eyes, but "Love has set you going like a fat gold watch" But we are nothing, we kill blonds Our manifesto, our demands Everything you've ever loved before this date Has just been wrond Killed by an atrocity to Decadence and fame For though I realized it I never learnt your name And though you seem to like it You're all so fucking tame But the Teenage murder freaks Are on the TV once again Arms around an actress While their organs go insane They are grotesques of humanity Impossibly vain And passionate in beauty, still (I just want them) Smoke inside a glass house, still (I just want them) Reaching for the new M1's I just want them dead I just want them dead... "If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us." I can't see you From this distance Though I can hear you through The powdery air For though you try You're never too persistent And though the grasses do heal They cut me more... But I am Neither good nor evil Neither here nor there For I am Neither good nor evil I'm the one thing you can't destroy.
