In the footsteps of my shadow See the lights out No one's home In amongst the statues Stare at nothing in The garden moves Can you help me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys Slipping through the door Hear my heart beats in the hallway Echoes Round and round Inside my head Drifting up the stairs I see the steps behind me Disappearing Can you help me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys sing in my Sleep sweet child The moon will change your mind ...

I sink in the night Standing alone Underneath the sky I feel the chill of ice On my face I watch the hours go by The hours go by You sleep Sleep in a safe bed Curled and protected Protected from sight Under a safe roof Deep in your house Unaware of the changes at night At night I hear the darkness breathe I sense the quiet despair Listen to the silence at night Someone has to be there Someone has to be there Someone must be there |

I play at night in your house
I live another life Pretending to swim In your house I change the time in your house The hours I take Go so slow I hear no sound in your house Silence In the empty rooms I drown at night in your house Pretending to swim Pretending to swim |

Hello image
Sing me a line from your favourite song Twist and turn but you're trapped in the light All the directions were wrong You'll fall in love with somebody else tonight Help yourself But tell me the words before you fade away You reveal all the secrets to remember the end And escape someday You'll fall in love with somebody else again tonight Take a step You move in time but it's always back The reasons are clear Your face is drawn and ready for the next attack |

It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me I'm wrong I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't understand You say it's not fair You expect me to act like a lover Consider my moves and deserve the reward To hold you in my arms And wait And wait And wait for something to happen It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation You call me a liar You would anyway It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part In the play for today |

Time slips away
And the light begins to fade Everything is quiet now Feeling is gone And the picture disappears Everything is cold now The dream had to end The wish never came true And the girl starts to sing Seventeen seconds A measure of life Seventeen seconds |

I never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones The columns are all men Begging to crush me No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes And no flags wave me home In the caves All cats are grey In the caves The textures coat my skin In the death cell A single note Rings on and on and on |

All the faces
All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes Into the night with Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But Charlotte did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed So close So many Other names... Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes I'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes I'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before... Sometimes I dream Where all the other people dance Sometimes I dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes I dream Sometimes I dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of Charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes |

Stop my flight to fight
And die And take a stand to change my life So savage with red desperation I clench my hands You draw your claws A hidden rage consumes my heart Fuelled by years of wasted time I close my eyes And tense myself And screaming Throw myself in fury over the edge And into your blood Tear at flesh And rip at skin And smash at doubt I have to break you Fury drives my vicious blows I see you fall but still I strike you Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Drained of everything but pain Screaming throw myself in fury Over the edge and into your blood Kiss you once and see you writhe Hold you close and hear you cry Kiss your eyes and finish your life Kiss your eyes Finish your life Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Knowing I'll murder you again tonight Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Tonight |

Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold I can't just carry on this way And every time I turn away Lose another blind game The idea of perfection holds me Suddenly I see you change Everything at once The same But the mountain never moves Rape me like a child Christened in blood Painted like an unknown saint There's nothing left but hope Your voice is dead And old And always empty Trust in me through closing years Perfect moments wait If only we could stay Please Say the right words Or cry like the stone white clown And stand forever Lost forever in a happy crowd No one lifts their hands No one lifts their eyes Justified with empty words The party just gets better and better I went away alone With nothing left But faith |

Pulling this watch as faces go
Pulling in a word and done it slow this other time I see your face is silent Oh, we go away and play What have you done Takes a feeling inside us all Continue out with just one push in my mouth But you're so close now And you're so close now All I have to do is three short blows All that still is best inside The full when the wall And you don't even know All I Have to Do is Kill Her All I Have to Do is Kill Her All I Have to Do is Kill Her And the other faces here with me The others dressed in summers thing If only one way is to be wonderful If only one way is to the other song And every time it's you, it's like the blood on the stairs is sent away And every time we see it's all said before you If only one way is to kill you You used to say this fear of drowning Fear no death by water Father walks in at the foot of the bed Six of you want to see you safe Just one time you'll meet this man All you've got to do is kill her And all you've got to do is kill her Trickle the sands against and pull the animals Just out of the womb Seeing the cow dead before he was born It's the man he, he loved The solid pieces fell on the ground He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life It's all been painted with love It could have been some friends Pulling strings to meet you All I want to do is reach it She says 'Let go my shoulder!' See the sky! And the sky goes black And the sky goes black I just want to feel her I just want to feel her I just want you to feel it I just want you to feel it Everytime I looked up the stairs I used to see her die She would move so slow Anyone could've been but she was a cat Anyone could've been she was a cat Pulling away as I used to fight That's just playing so low That ugly or pretty The face stays the same Her face stays the same Her face stays the same The ugly or pretty Her face stays the same, stays the same, stays the same And looking on the final walls And looking on the final walls Did you now find this malice out The angels fall Let's make some noise Let's make some noise Let's make some noise Make some noise Let's make some noise Let's make some noise Make some noise... Help me be your mother for just one day Let's fall in churches far outside They used to love They used to love They used to They used to love... |

Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin As soft as fur Taking hold I taste your scent Distant noises Other voices Pounding in my broken head Commit the sin Commit yourself And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong Always wrong Come around at christmas I really have to see you Smile at me slyly Another festive compromise But I live with desertion And eight million people Distant noises Of other voices Pulsing in my swinging arms Caress the sound So many dead And all the other voices sing Change your mind You're always wrong |

The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white And slowly dreaming Stops all time Slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those words The further we go And older we grow The more we know ... The less we show ... The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song And quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your skin I thought of a story And rushed to reach the end Too soon Oh remember Please Don't change So the fall came Thirteen years A shiny ring And how I could forget your name The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms Still dream The further we go And older we grow The more we know ... |

She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares Alone Across the water The loneliness grows and slowly Fills her frozen body Sliding downwards One by one her senses die The memories fade And leave her eyes Still seeing worlds that never were And one by one the bright birds leave her ... Starting at the violent sound She tries to turn But final Noiseless Slips and strikes her soft dark head The water bows Receives her And drowns her at its ease Drowns her at its ease I would have left the world all bleeding Could I only help you love The fleeting shapes So many years ago So young and beautiful and brave Everything was true It couldn't be a story I wish it was all true I wish it couldn't be a story The words all left me Lifeless Hoping Breathing like the drowning man Oh Fushia You leave me Breathing like the drowning man Breathing like the drowning man |

Two pale figures
Ache in silence Timeless In the quiet ground Side by side In age and sadness I watched And acted wordlessly As piece by piece You performed your story Moving through an unknown past Dancing at the funeral party Memories of childrens dreams Lie lifeless Fading Lifeless Hand in hand with fear and shadows Crying at the funeral party I heard a song And turned away As piece by piece You performed your story Noiselessly across the floor Dancing at the funeral party |

I kneel and wait in silence
As one by one the people slip away Into the night The quiet and empty bodies Kiss the ground before they pray Kiss the ground And slip away I sit and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay Then look at your face And feel my heart pushed in As all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play They play I stand and hear my voice Cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave you crying I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance In the holy hour |

Movement
No movement Just a falling bird Cold as it hits the bleeding ground He lived and died Catch sight Cover me with earth Draped in black Static White sound A day without substance A changeof thought An atmosphere that rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect Scream As she tries to push him over Helpless and sick With teeth of madness Jump jump dance and sing Sideways across the desert A charcoal face Bites my hand Time is sweet Derange and disengage everything A day without substance A change of thought The atmosphere rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect A short term effect A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect |
