1. Open Mind

---

Here's a song from an open mind
I give it to you because I can
And if you're thinking that it's not that kind
It cause my mood swings
Make me feel ashamed
It can pass the time

A girl with eyes that see a hundred years
Half remembered, this is my dream
Spinning out from where the hole appears
I've never seen her
But i've got photographs
It can blow your mind

An idea falls from a porcelain sky
It won't make you rich
And it won't get you high

Out of the void it comes
(out of the)
(out of the)
From an open mind
It comes from my mindout of the void it comes

2. Blackfield

---

Curling lips, fingertips, dead eye dips
I saw it all in the blackfield
Splinter cracks, summer tracks, paperbacks
We found them all in the blackfield
In the shade, whistle blades, singing fades
In the blackfield

She wants to stay and talk all day
So I remark when it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse

River glass, cycle past, overcast
I saw it all in the blackfield
Copper sky, shadows rise, bridge of sighs
We had all in the blackfield
Skin tracks, face facts, fade to black
In the blackfield

She wants to stay and talk all day
So I remark when it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse

3. Glow

---

I show the scars
Of every fear and doubt
I hurt myself

To let the darkness out
The days go bye
The glow was strong
When I was a boy

And the glow
It goes
It goes
So slow
It goes

Cracks appear
And passion slips away
Colors fade
And turn to shades of grey
Fade away

And the glow ...
It goes
So slow
It goes

If you knew the man I used to be
PLEASE HOLD ME UNDER THE SEA
OR SCRATCH MY ARMS TILL THEY BLEED
SAVE ME
WILL YOU HELP ME TO FEEL THE GLOW ?

AND THE GLOW ...
IT GOES
SO SLOW
IT GOES

4. Scars

---

Brightest city buried in the dust
Lonely people stop and stare at us
Together you and me are getting lost
The sky falls

It's getting hard for me to see the truth
I lost my soul and gave myself to you
You are an angel and the devil too
A tear falls

All that I got left are my precious scars
All that I got left are my precious scars

I watch a teardrop falling from your eye
You are so perfect when you cry
In the corner all our endings lie
Alone now

All that I got left are my precious scars
All that I got left are my precious scars

It's me that you need now
It's me that you love now

All that I got left are my precious scars
All that I got left are my precious scars
(I wish I was immune then it wouldn't hurt)
All that I got left are my precious scars
All that I got left are my precious scars
(I wish I was immune then it wouldn't hurt)
(I wish I was immune then it wouldn't hurt)

5. Lullaby

---

Share my cup
Tie me up
Never apart
Break my heart

Go to sleep
Wound me deep
Be at peace
Make me bleed

Do no harm
Twist my arm
Lie with grace
Smash my face

Kiss the ground
Track me down
Stop the noise
Smash my toys

How does it feel without your drugs?
Sing you a lullaby
How does it feel without my love?
Sing you a lullaby

6. Pain

---

Here I'm standing on the sea shore
She is gone, now she's gone
All the angels praying for me
As I fall, As I fall

While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
To me nightmare with the devil
I'll go strong, I'll go strong

All my friends now try to save me
What a joke, what a joke
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long ?

While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long ?
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long ?

7. Summer

---

Love me as the summer gone
When eyes were closed and days were long, so long
I burned a torch for you but all the while
Somewhere in the haze you lost your smile

Love me as the winter comes
Don't cast your shadow on my soul, please don't
Don't let me sink don't let the darkness in
Let your perfect fingers touch my skin

Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone
Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone
When you're alone

Love me as the springtime comes
Let your song drift down the stairs to me
Waiting here along the way to blue
Remembering the days i spent with you

Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone
Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone

Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone
Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone

Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone
Heart needs a home
It's a dark and empty road
When you're alone

Heart needs a home
Heart needs a home ...

8. Cloudy Now

---

In a violent place we can call our country
Is a mixed up man
And I guess thats me
The sun's in the sky
But the storm never seems to end

Its a place of sorrow but we call it a home.
And the darkest thoughts
Yeah, I guess they're my own
There's wealth in the bank
But there's nothing to show inside

Its cloudy now
Its cloudy now
Its cloudy now
Its getting cloudy now

In a special place
That I call my life
The father was cruel and he lost his wife
I don't see either
Cause I live across the street

Its a beautiful thing
When it starts to rain
A man who drinks just to drown the pain
And I can't stop from dreaming
There's something else

Its cloudy now
Its cloudy now
Its cloudy now
Its getting cloudy now ...

Its cloudy now
Its cloudy now
Its cloudy now
Its getting cloudy now ...

WE ARE A F*CKED UP GENERATION
IT'S CLOUDY NOW
A F*CKED UP GENERATION
IT'S CLOUDY NOW
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE
IT'S CLOUDY NOW
A F*CKED UP GENERATION
IT'S CLOUDY NOW ...

9. The Hole In Me

---

The hole in me
I cannot reach
The one who bleeds
The hole in me
Please set him free

The hole in me
The hole in me

That no one sees
The hole too deep
Inside of me

What have I done
Treat me tonight like a movie star
Who will never die
Always surrounded by girls like you

Kill all my loneliness
Kill all my loneliness

The hole in me
That never sleeps
Born with me
It's killing me

What have I done
Treat me tonight like a movie star
Who will never die
Always surrounded by girls like you

Kill all my loneliness
Kill all my loneliness

10. Hello

---

Through a different kind of silence
I'm waiting, I'm wasting
Into the road of sadness
I'm walking without you

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Is it gonna last ?
Why don't you come and take me with you ?
And so I know you had to go
I'm dreaming of the past
An echo of the years we passed through

Asleep in your arms I'm drifting
I'm falling in sorrow
Dead to the world you left me
In footsteps I follow

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Is it gonna last ?
Why don't you come and take me with you ?
And so I know you had to go
I'm dreaming of the past
An echo of the years we passed through

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Is it gonna last ?
Why don't you come and take me with you ?
And so I know you had to go
I'm dreaming of the past
An echo of the years we passed through

11. Perfect World

---

Here on the other side
You've found a place to hide
So wave goodbye to your wasted life

You never seem to care
If God can hear your prayers
There's no sign of angels in the air

So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears
A wish will be reborn to a perfect day

You always plead for time
To say what's on your mind
You're always scared
But making out you're fine

You leave no one to cry
On the day you die
They hate you more than you hate to be alive

So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world

So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world

12. Where Is My Love ?

---

Endless fields of emptiness in my dark and wounded heart
Where is my love ?
Where is my love ?

The freezing moment when you turned your head and waved goodbye
Where is my love ?
Where is my love ?

Even all the biggest storms can't take my pain away
Where is my love ?
Noisy happy people crossing streets from side to side
Where is my love ?

I gave you everything I could but you want the stars
Where is my love ?
Where is my love ?
Endless fields of emptiness in my dark and wounded heart
Where is my love ?
Where is my love ?

Even all the biggest storms can't take my pain away
Where is my love ?
Noisy happy people crossing streets from side to side
Where is my love ?
