static on the radio portraits of people you don't know faces staring down the line memories from another time but it's still the same there tell me, tell me, what's the point? when every move seems to disappoint years go by yet there's no change the stomping grounds that i used to claim yeah it's still the same there now all the words you say are wrong where's the youth i counted on? has it merely come and gone? search for meaning, search for love search for answers you were deprived of if you leave no impact, make no mark you will find that once you depart it is still the same there

Typhoon 03:36
oh the lights of the night they were slipping to me and you looked at me with a frown as you melted into the ground then you said: "hey you're looking kind of strange" as the world it began to spin and then my mind caved in then the thud, a flash and a crash of lightning it lit you up like a match whose fire would just not catch then they took me away they said you were gone but to the straitjacket that i put on the voices said "so long" and i am fine this time
3.
Serpentine 03:58
i'm on a tightrope honey, and i can't seem to find my way back down, and oh the sound coming out of your mouth is the poison, so seeing as i'm done let's have some fun. and don't you think that I haven't picked up on the stares and dirty looks, you fucking crooks. you couldn't hope to compete with the elite, you all sound just the same; it's such a shame don't you think that it's pointless to be where you've been before? and the words that you said don't matter to me anymore yeah the night's getting to me so here's the door now i know what you're thinking, it's been there on your face all along - but know you're wrong. 'cause i can't stand accusations of taking the easiest way out, let's talk about how you slither and slip like a serpent in everything you do, it's just like you. but i won't let you get away this time, because you're mine.
4.
i've got a fire in my veins and though i try, i just cannot contain all the panic and the sins thoughts and words but there's no recompense oh no they're actors on a stage there's words but there's no rage the only winning move is just to not play their game there's nothing that i can save
5.
War Stories 03:41
tell me a story from the war back when i was young the same that i learned to abhor and tell me, can you hear me? i'm preaching to the choir did you know it was you i admired? dark clouds, they came what could i say? you changed i learned to be ashamed father, are you proud now? i'm your son and i've gone off to school to save the planet from the fools there's so much i should tell you but the years that have since passed have borne this great contrast the words you said that once filled me with dread now inspire instead all stories have to end sometime
6.
i was a far cry from romantic slightly pedantic, more insecure than i'd admit yeah she was stunning, and for her I pined not short of divine, with lips as blood red as red wine the boys were headed for the cabaret she asked me to stay, i'd naught to do but to obey she claimed she knew this place downtown some party's going down and this might be my very last chance what is this? (woah) girl, what's on your mind tonight? (woah) crack a smile (woah) dance, oh dance the night away we arrived, our group had coalesced dressed up in my best, but still quite nervous nonetheless with music bumping, she led us inside yeah here i must confide, i felt just like Jekyll and Hyde caught between two different points of view desire to pursue and to see through this pas de deux yet this anxious heart is beating fast how long must feelings last? fleeting thoughts that warn of doom come into this smoky room promises like chains will bind everything is fine
7.
Amateur 03:50
what are you talking about, the same old things? putting that attitude on with the claims that I don't know anything your tales of woe, telephones, and of "conquest" have no sway and broken bones no they don't ever heal in quite the same way 'cause what you're saying don't make sense and yeah, it's plain to see you're just trying to pull one over on me what do you take me for? an amateur I'm sure said I've heard it all before here we go again, shalalalala don't take it personally, but I can see right through all those glares that you throw, you'd agree that this is long overdue and yeah it's shitty, always shitty, I'm sorry but there's no proof that the universe ever had it out for you
8.
wake up, wake up it's in and out everyday make up, make up white lies we all create whoa, I want to feel the sunshine while carving through gravity's surf shape up, shape up and try again next year kiss and make up apologize and shed a tear whoa, I'll watch the rings of Saturn float by as I hit the foam mayday, mayday we're lost in interstellar space so far away no contact with the human race whoa, I'm facing interference and hurdling right towards the sun
9.
it was late on a friday night when the phone sang its refrain said her head hurts, she's got a migraine now I'm on the prowl for fever pills then the night by moonlight saw its right by means, so the medicine seems then I heard shouts & screams yelling "someone call the police!" in a car on the corner there's where the couple started their scuff yeah, well I think I've had quite enough gonna head back home for the night before things start getting rough well the fight spilled to the street and I tried to retreat I saw fists fly and I heard her cry: "oh why'd you cheat?" and I thought I'd got away but the cops they joined the fray they said I'd be just grand for the witness stand since I saw foul play I told my story once they took the pills as evidence don't be upset, I didn't just forget your medicine
10.
I've been gone for such a long time or so it seems; I haven't felt alive for at least three years so walk with me beneath the moonlight I promise I am here to stay so shake away those fears and it's strange, when I close my eyes your face is all I can find I've lost my mind since I've been away, all that I can say is "whatever, whatever" I've seen wonders in my travels the stars that light the sky at night our structures rearranged and I have fought the dead that stalked me I've struck down ghosts that haunt my past and faced those that remained
