1. Barrel of a Gun
Do you mean this horny creep
Set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
That doesnīt come
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
Whoīs longing for some rest
And feeling numb
What do you expect of me
What is it you want?
Whatever youīve planned for me
Iīm not the one
A vicious appetite
Visits me each night
And wonīt be satisfied
Wonīt be denied
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
That leaves the mark of cain
Right here inside
What am I supposed to do?
When everything that Iīve done
Is leading me to conclude
Iīm not the one
Whatever Iīve done
Iīve been staring down the Barrel of a Gun
Is there something you need from me?
Are you having your fun?
I never agreed to be
Your Holy One
Whatever Iīve done
Iīve been staring down the Barrel of a Gun
2. The Love Thieves
Oh the tears that you weep
For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet
With their love breaking bowls
All the clerks and the tailors
The sharks and the sailors
All good at their trades
Theyīll always be failures
Alms for the poor
For the wretched desciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honor
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as theyīre able
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
Your holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your bodyīs a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as adam is eve
Sure as jonah turned whaler
Theyīre crooked love theives
And you are their jailor
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all others
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all others
3. Home
Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where Iīm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down
Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally Iīve found that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well Iīm drowning in time to a desperate beat
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally Iīve found that I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send the only true friend I call mine
Pretend that Iīll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally Iīve found that I belong here
4. Itīs No Good
Iīm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
Youīll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide
Donīt say you want me
Donīt say you need me
Donīt say you love me
Itīs understood
Donīt say youīre happy
Out there without me
I know you canīt be
īCause itīs no good
Iīll be fine
Iīll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realize
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You canīt turn back the tide
Donīt say you want me
Donīt say you need me
Donīt say you love me
Itīs understood
Donīt say youīre happy
Out there without me
I know you canīt be
īCause itīs no good
Iīm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
Donīt say you want me
Donīt say you need me
Donīt say you love me
Itīs understood
Donīt say youīre happy
Out there without me
I know you canīt be
īCause itīs no good
5. Uselink - Instrumental
6. Useless
Well itīs about time
Itīs beginning to hurt
Time you made up your mind
Just what is it all worth
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
Watch the clock on the wall
Feel the slowing of time
Hear a voice in the hall
Echoing in my mind
All your stupid ideals
Got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
With your feet on the ground
Here I stand the accused
With your fist in my face
Feeling tired and bruised
With the bitterest taste
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
All your stupid ideals
Got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
With your feet on the ground
7. Sister of Night
Sister of night
When the hunger descends
And your bodyīs a fire
An inferno that never ends
An eternal flame
That burns in desireīs name
Sister of night
When the longing returns
Giving voice to the flame
Calling you through flesh that burns
Breaking down your will
To move in for the kill
Oh sister, come for me
Embrace me, assure me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sweet sister, just feel me
Iīm trembling, you heal me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sister of night
In your saddest dress
As you walk through the light
Youīre desperate to impress
So you slide to the floor
Feeling insecure
Sister of night
With the loneliest eyes
Tell yourself itīs alright
Heīll make such a perfect prize
But the cold light of day
Will give the game away
Oh sister, come for me
Embrace me, assure me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sweet sister, just feel me
Iīm trembling, you heal me
Hey sister, I feel it too
8. Jazz Thieves - Instrumental
9. Freestate
I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show
Picking up the conversations
Deep in your imagination
Tune in to the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow
Step out of your cage and onto the stage
Itīs time to start playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedomīs a state
I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness thatīs inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow
Step out of your cage and onto the stage
Itīs time to start playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedomīs a state
10. The Bottom Line
Like a cat dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out and do it all over again
Iīll be back for more
Something that is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
Itīs a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you
Like a pawn on the eternal board
Whoīs never quite sure what heīs moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive itīs gone
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you
Iīm yearning Iīm burning
I feel loveīs wheels turning
Like a moth on loveīs bright light
I will get burned each and every night
Iīm dying to
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
Iīm yearning Iīm burning
I feel loveīs wheels turning
Like a moth on loveīs bright light
I will get burned each and every night
Iīm dying to(o)
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
11. Insight
This is an insight
Into my life
This is a strange flight
Iīm taking
My true will
Carries me along
This is a soul dance
Embracing me
This is the first chance
To put things right
Moving on
Guided by the light
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
The fire still burns
Wisdom of ages
Rush over me
Heighten my senses
Enlighten me
Lead me on
Eternally
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
The fire still burns
Iīm talking to you now
The fire still burns
Whatever you do now
The world still turns
