The Darkest Heart

I am the shroud – That never sleeps

I’ve never been proud – I’m a forgery

But I have had enough of all of this junk – I wanna lock the world outside

I promise to always be faithful – If you will be my bride

And somewhere in the darkest heart – We will find a place to hide

I am the rust – On the time machine

I haunt myself like – A phantom pregnancy

But I have had enough of all of this junk – I wanna lock the world outside

I promise to always be faithful – If you will be my bride

And somewhere in the darkest heart – We will find a place to hide

Please don’t steal your love from me – I need you now to set me free

Please don’t steal your love from me – You teach my darkest heart to beat

Annabelle By The Wishing Well

Annabelle by the wishing well – Don’t throw my love away

It can’t survive in the dark – Your eyes are searching out stars

While I’m down here in my grave

Oh Annabelle, I wish you well – But don’t follow their maps

Oh Annabelle, it might hurt like hell – But don’t fall for their traps

I only appreciated in retrospect – That our youth was precious

This town that you hated full of the living dead – Was a hell you had to escape

Annabelle by the wishing well – You tossed in your spare change

But you can’t bribe your dreams – Into coming true it seems

You’re a beautiful child but strange

Annabelle by the wishing well – Don’t waste your time waiting for me

The world can be petty and cruel – But it’s a music box full of jewels

If you’re willing to be a thief

Oh Annabelle, I wish you well – But don’t follow their maps

Oh Annabelle, it might hurt like hell – But don’t fall for their traps

I only appreciated in retrospect – That our youth was precious

This town that you hated full of the living dead – Was a hell you had to escape

There would never be an end to the stories you told

I would never be the one you needed to hold

Like a moth who is drawn to the light

I watched silently as you burned bright

Keep The Peace

When we set fire to your limousine – we were just keeping the peace

We read the books you didn’t want us to read – we were just keeping the peace

When we downed tools and planted the seeds – we were just keeping the peace

When we blew kisses at the riot police – we were just keeping the peace

We laughed out loud at your twitter feed – we were just keeping the peace

We saw through your pathetic pageantry

We are the crowds you can’t dumb down – We are the sound you can’t drown out

When we broke the bias of your binary – we were just keeping the peace

We called refugees our friends and family – we were just keeping the peace

We danced all night in the city streets – we were just keeping the peace

We all chanted ‘fuck queen and country’

We are the crowds you can’t dumb down – We are the sound you can’t drown out

Put your fist in the air – Stand silent in defiance

Put your fist in the air – Keep the peace

Office Jobs

Boys and girls are dreaming – Of what they’ll be when they grow

Mothers and fathers are dreaming – About where all the time goes

Bosses and politicians are dreaming – Of wealth above all else

Actors and actresses are dreaming – Of being anyone but themselves

So what went wrong? It’s the same old song

So what went wrong? We got office jobs

I never cry – Don’t have sleepless nights

But there’s something I lost – We got office jobs

Artists and academics are dreaming – It’s all they ever do

Soldiers on either side are dreaming – About who they’ve been told to shoot

So what went wrong? It’s the same old song

So what went wrong? We got office jobs

I never cry – Don’t have sleepless nights

But there’s something I lost – We got office jobs

Empathy with innocence is crippling me

There is safety in numbness when you hide how you feel

The lovers and the liberals are dreaming – About all of their regrets

The spiteful and the righteous are dreaming – And plotting their revenge

Prelude To Transgression

I am awake but I am dreaming – Of an unbearable absence of meaning

I long to tear the membrane that conspires to smother me – A prelude to transgression, feels like anxiety

. . . fear of love . . . Lungs full of emptiness, I take a second breath

. . . keeps me numb . . . This big society won’t kill what’s left of me

. . . one warm touch . . . Lungs full of emptiness, I take a second breath

. . . wakes me up . . . I play this music loud, it’s poisonous and proud

I am awake inside this cold machine – Receiving strange transmissions from other psychic refugees

Sometime soon we all will rise and overturn this dead regime – A prelude to transgression, feels like anxiety

. . . fear of love . . . Lungs full of emptiness, I take a second breath

. . . keeps me numb . . . This big society won’t kill what’s left of me

. . . one warm touch . . . Lungs full of emptiness, I take a second breath

. . . wakes me up . . . I play this music loud, it’s poisonous and proud

I must wake up – I must wake up – I must wake up
