deep in this haze, I see her face
she creeps to me, she begs for me
I can not go, not this again
I'm much too weak, I'm conquered
and then I feel myself decline
in the grip of ionia
and then I see myself resign
to the lust for Ionia
and then she takes me down, down, down
and then she keeps me down, down, down
and then she speaks of love, love, love
love, love as misery (as I lose control)
she clings to me, she won't let go
and then she takes this all away
she's tainted me, I'm nothing now
I'm so obscure, I'm conquered
and then I feel myself decline
in the grip of Ionia
and then I see myself resign
to the lust for Ionia
of Ionia, oh Ionia, oh Ionia, oh Ionia
this time is not anything, it's nothing
oh Ionia I swear, that you will haunt me
and I'll never know why I resign all the time
and I reach straight for nothing
oh Ionia I swear, in an instant you're lonely
and just like all the time you will throw this aside
and you'll move on to nothing
oh Ionia I see, through the haze she is fading

Stop and stall
like a combustion engine
malfunctioning, faulty machine
the TV screen burns like a laser
puts holes through the retinas of dreams
forward slash, a trio of w's
dressed up in their polka-dot coms
friends won't last, but i've got it beat
now i back them up on CD Rom
the words that you gave me are sweet and they're savory
you don't stand to gain much from this
remember these eyes
they march with such innocence
now lost in the anchorman's lies
if loneliness kills, well you'll never notice
'cause loneliness won't be televised
(the subtitles read...)
the words that you gave me are sweet and they're savory
you don't stand to gain much from this

The snakes have been sworn in and in attendance is their kin
The jury may be seated, courts in session
The stenographer types out, she’s filled with overwhelming doubt
She’ll never catalogue a guilty man’s confession
Defense will cross-examine as the facts are reexamined
He’ll spin wild tales with cryptic legal jargon
The DA will retort and in a desperate last resort
There’ll be no room left in this case for a plea-bargain
Why you gotta lie for lying’s sake
If the cradle and bow break
Why you gotta stand there so accused
And look the way you do
The verdict is declared, scent of corruption fills the air
The judge ironically demands that there be order
So he files for appeal and cuts himself the sweetest deal
And the canary sings again to save his own neck
The patsies line the halls taking turns to take their fall
The judge thinks if and when the truth had ever mattered
Why you gotta lie for lying’s sake
If the cradle and bow break
Why you gotta stand there so accused
And look the way you do
If winnings everything the truth it will mean nothing
You’ve made your bed, so lye, lie to me
You’ve made your bed, so try try try
Why you gotta lie for lying’s sake
If the cradle and bow break
Why you gotta stand there so accused

I’m the wind that knocks you down
And beats you to the ground
You’ve found
I’m the taste inside your mouth
The one you can’t wash out
You’re doubt
You pout
Will it get much worse before it gets much better?
Grieve in all naivety
If she leaves the light on it won’t change the weather
The monsters still believe in me
I’m the coward you keep caged
Undeserving of your rage
I rage
I’m the storm of your design
Your villain mastermind
Your mind
Will it get much worse before it gets much better?
Grieve in all naivety
If she leaves the light on it won’t change the weather
The monsters still believe in me
I’m the cancer in your brain
The blood clot in your vein
The stench of still remains
The soothsayer who saves

call of the search
the body's been found
her family's dreams die here today
sigh relief, she suffers no more
eyes have gone vacant, skin is grey
untap the phones
and break down the stakeout
back the patrol cars off the lawn
"i left her alone," she screams in a breakdown
can't comprehend she's really gone
you're trapped in her chalk outline now
they need you hear right now
please press rewind
booked and then printed
the evidence hinted
these were premeditated crimes
a father's best friend
the neighbors were sickened
they'll call it reflection of our times
he sits in a cell looking over the menu
this is the last choice he will make
though he could not foresee it, this is where he'd be
sent to
it is a spell he cannot break
you're trapped in her chalk outline now
they need you hear right now
please press rewind
for one last moment if i could feel your touch
i know I’m asking way too much
i know I’m asking way too much
call off the search
a body's been found
her family's dreams die here today
sigh of relief
she suffers no more
eyes have gone vacant, skin is grey
you're trapped in her chalk outline now
they need you hear right now

Rainbows made of gasoline and spears of light that
Puncture carcinogenic clouds
A diatribe without a point
Another installation in the lonely crowd
Revolutionary words you spoke,
The passion that it would provoke that meant so much
You stiffened and you became stale,
You stagnated; you gradually fell out of touch
Now you tell me
You pretend like everything's alright
And you fall asleep tonight
But you're blind
The medicated comments and
the cue cards that you're reading off response to me
Avert your as you see fit cause
Now you only see the things you want to see
A newly renovated conscience,
Now you won't think twice
Of the mistakes you made
Now you tell me....
You pretend like everything's alright
And you fall asleep tonight
But you're blind
Gracing the pages of all that he was (2X)
You pretend like everything's alright
And you fall asleep tonight

We've been chasing down our anger,
but it never gets us far,
made a pact to seek out vengeance,
all we ever found was scars,
In this film you'll play the victim,
you've been typecast in the role,
covenant deals were mis-deciphered,
hes been buying up these souls,
So save yourself the trouble,
keep your excuses for yourself,
when you die you'll see the tunnel,
but there wont be no light,
cause nothings ever gonna be......alright,
As close as you will come to greatness,
best thing you will ever taste,
you curse the ease and scold your patience,
were regret upon your face,
incarcerated like a convict,
choose to serve your easy time,
a cowards life will be your sentence,
and excuses are your crime,
So save yourself the trouble,
keep your excuses for yourself,
when you die you'll see the tunnel,
but there wont be no light,
cause nothings ever gonna be......alright,
We almost see the end in here,
the best ain't good enough,
the devils breathing in our ear,
the best ain't good enough,
the best ain't good enough,
Was there a future that was once bright,
i cant seem to recollect,
im in-debuted to these demons,
and their coming to collect.

If you live inside the old graveyard
Your skin and bones get kind of hard
You blame it on all of the ones who left you
If you're in the closet with a broom
Why don't you sweep around the room
Make little piles of all the things you don't understand
But it's in the mouth, it's in the blood
It's sweet, the taste, the spit of love
Poor skin, too thick to understand
The gravity and graceful plans
In the place that's made of old relations
Where some got loved, some got hated
How absently you move around, how listless
How in the night the battle raged
Under the blankets, were we brave
At least enough to recognize the storm is just a storm
Shine the lights across the bridge
The surface you can't follow it
The glossy night, the wind in fits
Get girders buckling at their bits
Will I be this way when I'm dead
Will I go home and go to bed
Will I wake up and wonder
Did something happen here
The weatherman, well he should know
The doctor, too, from down below
They call to one another ‘cross the riding in the night
Don't forget, you've got love
You've got bravery, you've got trust
You've got bodies, responsibilities
There's still mountains, they're pushing up from underneath
You've got pain, caused plenty of
It's not so strange but now you've had enough
Don't forget your bones and skin

Um baque seco
A porta se fechou
Seus olhos se abrem
Você voltou
O ar denso e quente, o cheiro de queimado
A dor de respirar, a mente atordoada
Você acorda ofegante, esfrega o rosto em vão
Permanece o pesadelo - que não acaba mais
No seu olhar, o desejo de não ver
A cena degradante que envolve o seu ser
Você percebe que não poderá escapar
O duro preço da coerência
Um jogo sádico
Um ritual cruel
O esforço de resistir
Recusar a se entregar
A grandeza e a miséria da condição humana
Chutes e socos, choques constantes
Seu sangue escorre, a força se esvai
Amarrado e nú você aguarda
O fim do sofrimento
Mas o veredicto já foi dado
Mais um cadáver não enterrado
Agora já não importa mais
Lutar ou se render
Fruto amargo da repressão
Arrancaram o seu espírito
Te tornaram um corpo vazio
Uma herança de constante horror
O vício do medo adquirido
