C'mon and save me
Why don't you save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks

You who has pushed beyond what's humane..

True Love Waits

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile

Just don't leave
Don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave
Don't leave

Love Letter


I'm going out of my mind
Will leave me standing in
The rain with a letter and a prayer
Whispered on the wind

Dark Turn Of Mind




Take me and love me if you want me
But don’t ever treat me unkind
Cause I had that trouble already
And it left me with a dark turn of mind



Now I see the bones in the river
I feel the wind through the pines
And I hear the shadows a-calling
To a girl with a dark turn of mind



But Oh ain’t the nighttime so lovely to see?
Don’t all the nightbirds sing sweetly
You'll never know how happy I'll be
When the sun’s going down



Believe me if I’m feeling too lonely
Full as the fruit on the vine
You know some girls are bright as the morning
And some have a dark turn of mind



You know some girls are bright as the morning
And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind

Gillian Welch - Dark Turn Of Mind

Paint The Sky With Stars


Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars
...
Place a name upon the night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars

Codes and Keys

We won't get far
Flying in circles inside a jar
'Cause the air we breathe
Is thinning with the words that we speak
That we speak
You and me

What The Water Gave Me

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
And oh poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us
...
And oh, love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me

No Light, No Light


You are the nighttime fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over, you're the start
You're my head and you're my heart

Robert

Now it's getting late,
I can see straight through your skin
To your bones
And I know where you're going,
I know where you're going

Knock, Knock..

Knock, knock, knock, my house is always open
I can put on quite a show, but inside I"m broken
...
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall

The Fragile

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

Daydreaming


Think of a place I would go,
I'm daydreamin',
Where the sycamore grow,
I'm daydreamin',
And oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Where the air was so clear,
Oh if you knew what it meant to me,
Anywhere but here.
...
Oh the unspeakable things.

Dust Motes


There's a vulture at the end of my bed
It's 5 a.m., it thinks I'm dead
There's a vulture at the end of my bed
Against the window, in silhouette


There's a vulture would have me asleep

It's looking at me like I'm some piece of meat

I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
If you die
If you die


Dust motes in a beam of light

They slow down time

Out Of This World


And we always have to go I realize
We always have to say goodbye
Always have to go back to real lives

Jeunesse Lève Toi


Comme un éclat de rire
Vient consoler tristesse
Comme un souffle avenir
Viens raviver les braises
Comme un parfum de souffre
Qui fait naître la flamme
Jeunesse lève toi


Contre la vie qui va qui vient
Puis qui s'éteint
Contre l'amour qu'on prend, qu'on tient
Mais qui tient pas
Contre la trace qui s'efface
Au derrière de soi
Jeunesse lève toi



Moi contre ton épaule
Je repars à la lutte
Contre les gravités qui nous mènent à la chute
Pour faire du bruit encore
A réveiller les morts
Pour redonner éclat
A l'émeraude en toi



Pour rendre au crépuscule
La beauté des aurores
Dis moi qu'on brûle encore
Dis-moi que brûle encore cet espoir que tu tiens
Parce que tu n'en sais rien de la fougue et du feu
Que je vois dans tes yeux ?
Jeunesse lève toi !



Quand tu vois comme on pleure
A chaque rue sa peine
Comment on nous écoeure
Perfusion dans la veine
A l'ombre du faisceau
Mon vieux tu m'aura plus !
Ami dis quand viendra la crue



Contre courant toujours sont les contre-cultures,
Au gré des émissions leurs gueules de vide-ordures ?
Puisque c'en est sonné la mort du politique,
L'heure est aux rêves
Aux Utopiques !



Pour faire nos ADN
Un peu plus équitables,
Pour faire de la poussière
Un peu plus que du sable
Dans ce triste pays
Tu sais un jour ou l'autre
Faudra tuer le père
Faire entendre ta voix
Jeunesse lève toi !



Au clair de lune indien
Toujours surfer la vague
A l'âme
Au creux des reins
Faut aiguiser la lame
Puisqu'ici il n'y a qu'au combat qu'on est libre
De ton triste sommeil, je t'en prie libère-toi !



Puisqu'ici il faut faire des bilans et du chiffre
Sont nos amours toujours au bord du précipice,
N'entends-tu pas ce soir chanter le chant des morts
Ne vois tu pas le ciel à la portée des doigts ?
Jeunesse lève toi !



Comme un éclat de rire
Vient consoler tristesse,
Comme un souffle avenir
Vient raviver les braises
Comme un parfum de souffre
Qui fait naître la flamme
Quand plongé dans le gouffre on sait plus où est l'âme
Jeunesse lève toi !



Contre la vie qui va qui vient
Puis qui nous perd,
Contre l'amour qu'on prend qu'on tient
Puis qu'on enterre
Contre la trace qui s'efface
Au derrière de soi ?
JEUNESSE LÈVE-TOI !



Au clair de lune indien
Toujours surfer la vague
A l'âme
Au creux des reins
Faut aiguiser la lame
Puisqu'ici il n'y a qu'au combat qu'on est libre
De ton triste coma, je t'en prie libère-toi !
Puisqu'ici il faut faire des bilans et du chiffre
Sont nos amours toujours au bord du précipice,
N'entends-tu pas ce soir chanter le chant des morts
A la mémoire de ceux qui sont tombés pour toi
Jeunesse lève toi

Flowers In December

They say every man goes blind in his heart
And they say everybody steals somebody's heart away
And I've been wondering why you let me down
And I've been taking it all for granted

Temporary Peace



Deep inside the silence
staring out upon the sea
the waves are washing over
half forgotten memory

Deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me
and I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be
and all this time all I had inside was what i
couldn't see
I swear I never knew, I never knew
how it couldn't be

Anathema - Temporary Peace
