Hungry for Sunlight

Lyrics:
Night, it's coming to get you.
No plan, or negotiation
The time for lightness is gone now
You'll wonder where it all went
The storm is hungry for sunlight
It eats color and stillness
In you, there's nothing fantastic, no
You, you're as a dead as us all
Heaven belongs to judgment
And it's coming, coming to get you
Heaven, it's hell for the wolverine
Whose blood will drip silver and cold

Leaning

I laid down and saw it
It was a bird in the sky
But I couldn'y find it
If it took my whole life
Then you were there
Standing 12 feet high
And I was just crying
Hoping not to die
I was not high
No, not this time
I took my own road
I took it far and wide
I came across a stone
And I tried to ride
"Is there not just death?"
I asked, as if once in my life
I tried not to get scared
But I held my wife
I was not high
No, not this time
Not this time

Birth of the Vampire
04:20
|
|||
|
Some day, I'll be a rotting corpse
Some day, I'll be a rotting corpse
Bloated, pale, and dead
Nothing going on inside my head
Someday, I'll need a friend
To drive a stake right through my chest
Someday, I'll need a friend
Release the gases filling my breast
Someday, the widening of my hips
Someday, blood dripping from my lips
White and wide-eyed, like I'm alive
A vampire bat at midnight
Something not right, this one wrong
His zombie call at the break of dawn
Better drive that stake right through my chest
Release the gases filling my breast

Count yourself lucky
You've got yourself a lady
And she's golden
Your mind is like a river
Your woman drives you nearer
You'll be woken
Computers full of quiver
They're having you for dinner
You'll be broken
Vehicles and VR
Your world is a VCR
You're stolen

Forest Angel
04:44
|
|||
|
Hiding all my fears in the forest
You were a loser then and you're a loser now
Searching for the angel that was promised
If I go alone, then can I go at all?
Fighting all my tears in the ocean
No tracks behind and no way before
Abandoned by a guide and a comfort
Were you ever the one that I thought you were?
When you opened I'd been up for several hours
Lights on in the basement, safe from scattered showers
Always down, never wandering up
Hiding all my fears and searching for an angel
Fighting all my tears, no tracks behind, no place to go

Jungle Red
05:07
|
|||
|
My claws are jungle red
My eyes, an icy blue
Night as dark as death
Tale as old as time
Relax into the void
Embrace the starry field
Crash into the flame
Tie and loose the grave
The endless piercing ache
Shaking like a child
The moon was not your home
The sky hid not your wishes
I can see it through my eyes
I can feel it with my teeth
World on fire
Clouds dark with grief

Walk the Line
03:52
|
|||
|
Buy yourself a motorcycle
You'll be happier if you do
I promise your pain is a deficit that
Your money can get you through
Of the parts of you that beat and bleed
Your purchases will reign supreme
No emptiness as long as you love
The credit to buy the things you don't have
As long as they don't break you'll be just fine
Tryin' to live
Tryin' to be without your guide
Tryin' to waste all this damn time
You try to impress me
I can tell by the way you walk the line
And when you find what all your wasted bucks can't buy
And when you find you've wasted your life
No, no, no, not one more try
As sure as I live, you're gonna die
Happy birthday, happy new year
I wish you the best

Hellmouth
05:32
|
|||
|
Ride like the devil
Bear like a cannon
Mouth like a hell
But words like a heaven
The black wrath of God
Doth swing like a gale
O'er the white-handed hogs
And with loss doth prevail
The knight with his sword
The moon with its fire
And none speak a word
To the flame or the choir
