He smelled of cigarettes and rain His voice was drowned out with pain But it sounded beautiful I couldn't help but wonder Where he found shelter on his smoke break We're all alone Trapped inside our own Minds we can't break free On the dark end of town No there's no-one around She's walking all alone She forgot her knife at home I hope she makes it safe We're all alone Trapped inside our own Bodies we can't break free We're all voyeurs Living through each other Trying to find something real We're all alone Trapped inside our own Lives we can't break free

It was always a battle And when it wasn’t it was dull If we weren’t at each others throats We were sitting around bored You gave up first You gave up first So we fought and so we scrapped Just to keep the spark alive Laying mines and setting traps Laying it on the line You gave up first You gave up first I surrender I surrender You gave up first You grew up first You knew it was all a game You out grew me

Take me home Down by the river, past fields of gold Take me to where your lips first met mine Hold me close Tell me you'll never let me go Make it show make sure I know Cause I don't want to leave you behind again I hate goodbyes; I never cry But inside I might just die I don't know what I will do If I can't see you Show me around I don't know my way, I forget this town And you're the only one I know 'round here It's been so long Everyone I know has long since gone And you will soon leave me too, alone This isn't my home, I'm all alone And I've lost all I've known I am a stranger here Might as well disappear Where is my home The river's run dry, the fields were corn And you've left me all alone for good

It’s been a long time since I was born Just a boy with a metal horn Scared of the sunshine and all my friends Would tell me it also gave them the bends Small cyborg boys, dressed in black Never to get old, never to look back and smile at those times, When we got lost in the starlight. And so here I am, I’ll tell you my tale About all them kids stealing my fingers and my bolts Who got impaled So Darling Dearest hey, It’s all okay, I swear to God I know my orders are to burn you to little bits But I won’t if you stay And did you know, the colour of your eyes turn to napalm, everytime you cry to the sky and ask if it’s alright Darling, I love that You remind me of a time, when everything was just right Sitting across from me in the barracks I wasn’t a warmachine, told to keep my gears clean Dearest, I hope you hate that

How does it feel to be a stranger in your own heart Where the time tick tocks tick tocks tearing us apart So I'll put you at the bottom of the ocean: just you and me Counting two by fours, two by six, two by three And where you're breathless you won't let me down And where you're breathless you won't let me down And the sun might set and rise just a million times And my old mechanical heart won't die So darlin' dearest hey, I've a new game to play It's called "I'll see you tomorrow but definitely not today." How does it feel to be a stranger in your own head Counting all the cracks and all the nails that make you dead And under steady water they won't hear you make a sound I guarantee it's better than the whispers you'd hear underground And when you're weightless I just might decide That killing what I love isn't a crime And the sun might set and rise just a million times And my old mechanical heart just cannot die So darlin' dearest hey, I've a new game to play It's called "I won't see you tomorrow and probably not today."

Your father sits atop of his throne And dead birds can’t talk about everything they saw The king’s in his castle He’ll make you bow down as he grins a wicked smile And he doesn’t know what he’s done A lifetime of sorrow and he doesn’t give a fuck And he’s aware of what he did A lifetime of suffering, now do you feel good? Your father sits atop of his throne It’s been seven years and this doesn’t feel like home His eyes turn steely black And if mother knew what he did, she’d have a heart attack So you sit there in fear ‘cause it’s all that you have, And you can’t help but feel as if you’ve been stolen from. Your humanity was tossed away along with your childhood gowns, And now you wear that convex dress that matches your frown. And your mother still calls him your dad She just doesn’t quite understand what makes him a man All those tears that you shed You can’t quite help but believe you’d be better off dead But you’re alive, you’re alive What a blessing to me You’re alive, you’re alive Please always be So you sit there in fear ‘cause it’s all that you have, And you can’t help but feel as if you’ve been stolen from. Your humanity was tossed away along with your childhood gowns, And now you wear that convex dress that matches your frown.
