It's been a while since we last spoke Have all these anchors got you too? You're lifted from this sunken ship And now you don't know what to do But there's an island in plain view We're both so young But time is slipping through our hands Don't know what drove you out to sea I guess we'll find out what could be And that's good enough for me And there goes four years time in just a week But there's no hurry, why the fuss? Said eventually these days will end Till then let's take the raft and go Just the two of us We're both so young But time is slipping through our hands Don't know what drove you out to sea I guess we'll find out what could be And that's good enough for me The destination, now, is all on you Arrival time is just next week I heard you got a brand new ship The kind that never gets a leak So here's to you when we next meet We're both so young But time is slipping through our hands Don't know what drove you out to sea I guess we'll find out what could be And that's good enough for me

In a land of dreams we never had Magnetic stares delayed for days Halting all mistakes that came to pass On a perfect stage this play had seen the ending of its second act Sparing all her pain (I was unaware) Not a single word could make this right (That I could not bear) So I force the floodgates closed tonight Forced away without a word to give Falling tears deprive me of my home Never mine to claim, I've come to see Even though she feels she's been usurped I'd soon depart to save us both Such a bleak reality

You bring me up You broke me down I can't believe you weren't around You went away for all those years And all those years became my greatest fears Oh I can't believe that things were at their worst And I can't believe we ever weren't on terms Now I see things how they're supposed to be And I'm glad that you still mean the world to me But even then, you weren't aware But it wasn't like you didn't care And now I'm back and so are you And we're all grown up and different people too Oh I can't believe that things were at their worst And I can't believe we ever weren't on terms Now I see things how they're supposed to be And I'm glad that you still mean the world to me And I’m so glad you mean the world to me And I’m so glad you mean the world to me And I’m so glad you mean the world to me

Eyes that burn A mouth that foams Upon your slab I'll rise And as the smoke began to set a child was born tonight Have they come to see your little freak? Lack luster looks to bear A burden we'll soon share Time would pass Resentment builds A night upon this town The girl I met beside the creek would prove to be too weak Have they come to see your little freak? Lack luster looks to bear A burden we'll soon share

So here's how the story begins About the man who sold his skin Lines weren't drawn And money was wearing thin But what have we here? It seems that I've received a gift The type to make her scream And who are you to say to me this ain't how I should be? So don't come here to scold Cause in my dreams I couldn't find a better way to spend my days But tie downs, Miss, may cost a little more I knew a girl named Poverty Who claimed a life of chastity Preached the word Claimed god her only friend A doltish facade And as the lights began to dim The bed at night would stir And happily I aimed to taint this pretty little saint So don't come here to scold Cause in my dreams I couldn't find a better way to spend my days But tie downs, Miss, may cost a little more Don’t you scold Cause in my dreams I couldn't find a better way to spend my days But S&M may cost a little more

If I could see things as you do, life would seems awfully swell So swell... Not just a child, your mind is wild Entwine your fingers throughout mine And watch those from the sky destroy our home It was our home... An aura fills the clouds tonight To set the tone for our goodbye Goodbye... This pleasant light does wreak of flesh The flesh of those we held so dear The ones we called our kin and friends My kin and friends... Like they say: "It had to end some day." At least this way We'll learn we weren't alone at all Within your eyes I greet the end Like they say: "It had to end some day." At least this way We know we weren't alone Within your eyes I greet the end

Sultana 03:27
Every time I meet your eyes Half the thoughts I want to own become so faint and paralyzed Because your mine, at least, at heart But like the words I'd longed to hear Its from your lips they won't depart So I, I second guess what's never meant to be with me But with time all wounds will heal Denied a chance, perhaps she stands to ignore all feelings of appeal But can I learn to accept a loving touch upon my hand Knowing that I'll always be exempt? I second guess what's never meant to be with me Hang the lights as we all dine A blushing bride who sits across from a man who forces down his wine Drink the truth and stay a while "My whole world I'd give to you, even if it only made you smile."

He's a hopeless dog just getting by Not believing in cake in the sky Sometimes he wonders how he's still alive And he dreams of her all night and day Minutes, hours, days, and miles away No matter how long he will never stray Yet he lives to see another day Fleeting notions moving on the way And yet they know things never stay the same They never stay the same They never stay the same at all

Moda 04:13
My dear, please tell me what will be I can't escape from what I see A prisoner of this sad reality And from above I feel the bind We're quickly running out of time I grasp at straws to still hold onto you I hold the key inside my hand These pills prescribed generic brand To build a tolerance, I'll stand The role of science in our lives We take its refuge from our minds In an attempt to alter time A sea of fairy tale lies Fountain of youth, the tree of life How much we've changed where hope resides But still its what I have to do These are the tools I need to use To stay here long enough to be with you Oh dear, my time with you is short This is what I've had to resort It’s not a choice but a necessity I’d like to stay right here with you Till then I'll try to follow through I'll escape time and space for you If that's the thing I have to do

Steer away And meet me at the pillars of creation today Short it seems The time we had but now a bullet took you away A millennium is not enough to separate the wave That ties me to the purest mind that lies behind your eyes Stay with me Just stay with me So it’s said I'll meet you at the pillars of creation today Pull the veil And end the lights to greet the cold of saturn tonight A millennium is not enough to separate the wave That ties me to the purest mind that lies within the grave Stay with me Stay with me
