Shackles and Chains
04:25

Nobody ever told me what to watch for
I never was the one to play the game
You gave me all I thought I ever wanted
Now you want repayment a thousand times over
Your illusion never really meant much
Now you’re taking everything I have
Shackles and chains attached to my heart protecting your interests
You don’t want my love you want my soul
Shackles and chains attached to my heart protecting your interests
You don’t want my love you want my soul
You don’t want my love you want my soul
You don’t want my love you want my soul

Out

It’s warm in here
It’s dark in here
It’s quiet in here
I like it in here
Secure in here
Content in here
I like it in here
I like it in here
I wanna stay in here forever
Out
It’s warm in here
It’s dark in here
It’s quiet in here
I like it in here
I wanna stay in here forever
Out
Just one of those things
A passionless lover
An awkward moment
Trapped in time
A positive test
A late decision
A back street doctor
Hard cold wire
Out

Down
03:09
|

See my lying amongst the ruins of shattered dreams that haunt me
The shards of daylight that pierce my corner of the room accuse me
Falling - again, Falling… down
You stand before me, anger tries to hide the pain that tears you
And here I cower from your tears and promises I made you
Falling - again, Falling… down

Tomorrow

Leave me alone
I don’t want to know
Leave me alone
Let me go
Cos I’m leaving
Tomorrow
You’re always trying to tame me
But you know it won’t work
It’s no use trying to hold me
It’s not gonna work
Leave me alone
I don’t want to know
Leave me alone
Let me go
Cos I’m leaving
Tomorrow
You’re always trying to change me
But nobody can
You’re always so possessive
But I’m my own man
Leave me alone
I don’t want to know
Leave me alone
Let me go
Cos I’m leaving
Tomorrow
Tomorrow

The Quietest Movement
04:27
|
|||
These last few moments are ours forever
One final kiss and I must go
Such pain and torment must be prevented
No hope is in vain if we but try
A new world today
Out of the darkness and away
Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch
Now and forever
The quietest movement - A tear for parting
Lays bare the anguish of love denied
Enshrined in memory, such warmth and beauty
Will guide me onwards through all travails
A new world today
Out of the darkness and away
Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch
Now and forever
These last fond moments are ours forever
One final kiss must mean goodbye
A new world today
Out of the darkness and away
Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch
Now and forever
A new world today
Out of the darkness and away
Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch
I’ll love you always

A Gentleman's Honor
03:16

All that white hair
A gentleman's honor
And a long white beard
Burns up with fever
And this is artificial moonlight
An artificial sky
Horses in the air
Feet on the ground
Never seen this picture before
And this is artificial moonlight
An artificial sky
Horses in the air
"Whose baby is this?"
Never seen this picture before
Horses in the air
Feet on the ground
Never seen, never seen this picture before
Horses in the air
Feet on the ground
Never seen this picture before
Never seen this picture before
Never seen, never seen this picture before
Never seen, never seen this picture before

She's Leaving
03:58
|
|||
The phone rings and she tells me that she’s leaving
I’ve had this conversation all before
Tonight, somehow her tears have me believing
I won’t see her any more
I never really thought that she’d be leaving
I never really thought that it would end this way
But if its true that loves believing
We’ll be better off to end it all this way
The morning calls I wake up no more dreaming
No need to see, I know I’m on my own
An empty bed, no laughing no more scheming
I won’t see her any more
I never really thought that she’d be leaving
I never really thought that it would end this way
But if it’s true that loves believing
We’ll be better off to end it all this way
We’ll be better off to end it all this way
We’ll be better off to end it all this way

Please Don't Kiss
04:25
|

So now it’s goodbye, I feel a bit lost and you feel lonely
That’s no reason to cry, When dreams fall apart we fall down with them
It’s been quite a while since we went our own way, so can you tell me
Tell me what’s the point in you coming back here to haunt me
Breathing down my back, The white fence, the third door on the right
There’s no place to go, she said, “Can you put me up here for the night”
You’ve no reason or rhyme, Please don’t tell me what could have been
Don’t ask to stay, Not while there’s still time to catch the train home
Please don’t kiss, Please don’t kiss
Keep my old clothes and cards, The trinkets on your mantelpiece to gather dust
In some forgotten field you rust and fall apart like an old tractor
Love’s not black and white, I’m not going back, back where we began
Our old room’s a shrine, Frozen and locked, will give you comfort
Please don’t kiss, Please don’t kiss
So now it’s goodbye, I feel a bit lost and you feel lonely
That’s no reason to cry, When dreams fall apart we fall down with them
It’s been quite a while since we went our own way, so can you tell me
Tell me what’s the point in you coming back here to haunt me
Please don’t kiss, Please don’t kiss

Celeste

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would
I don't know why
Would anybody like to try
The changes I'm going through?
A hidden lie would fortify
Something that don't exist
But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad
So many more things to do
I intend to come right through them all with you
My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind
We talk a while by a crooked stile
You're lucky to catch a few
There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand
It's a pleasure to be true
In my crystal halls a feather falls
Being beautiful just for you
But that might not be quite true, that's up to you
Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake
A strange young girl sang her songs for me
And left 'fore the day was born
That dark princess with saddening jest
She lowered her eyes of woe
And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try
The changes she's going through
But I hope love comes right through them all with you
