InMe Album

(Two, three, four)

There are still shards in the road
Shackled wooden windows
The hero in the cell, he doesn't look too well
A cardio love-send face down in the dirt
Makeshift, I don't
I don't obey, I don't follow you
Or anyone else for that matter

You don't understand 'cause you are not a strong man
It doesn't mean a thing
I don't need your help
I got this far all by myself and I've given everything

Myths and photographs
Myths and photographs

Purple skies and red clouds, buttercups and fire
The chalice from which you drink
It doesn't help you to think
I reckon so, I know so, a taste
Now 24, lost sleep, gone
Ethereal, an astronaut's mentality
Self-righteous vitality

You don't understand 'cause you are not a strong man
It doesn't mean a thing
I don't need your help
I got this far all by myself and I've given everything

Myths and photographs
Myths and photographs

And now I know why I had so much doubt in myself
You pick me up, dust me off and put me back on the shelf
You're about as hopeful as a cyanide pill
It's always pretty scary when you're not quite at the top of the hill
Take a cheap shot 'cause I don't give a shit
This band of brothers capsizes and rolls round with it
Reclaiming the shadows that we cast
Kick start this beast real fast

You don't understand 'cause you are not a strong man
It doesn't mean a thing
I don't need your help
I got this far all by myself and I've given everything

I've got nothing to say, you never knew me anyway
You are treachery to yourself
Listen closely to this, the point you will still miss
You'll think about how it affects you

Reverse your feet, retreat
The battle is complete but are we home yet?
Unload your guns, Turn around and run
We've got the sun upon our mindset
This Minerva, she is a pacemaker
We are a chain-gang and you are the hang man
You can't hurt her, she is invincible
I miss the bottle but we all miss her more

Well, I see you, I see you between the lines
It's always the Western way to blame it on the yesterday
Far-reaching stranger
And you leave me, you leave me no choice this time
It's still the Western way to blame it on the yesterday
Far-reaching redeemer

Unlock your doors, release the poor
They cannot scare us any more now
Ignore their threats
We cannot let them use their strength to make us bow down (Yeah)
This new threshold makes me behold a whole new energy
As it takes hold, we gain control of a whole new trilogy, yeah

Well, I see you, I see you between the lines
It's always the Western way to blame it on the yesterday
Far-reaching stranger
And you leave me, you leave me no choice this time
It's still the Western way to blame it on the yesterday
Far-reaching redeemer

You always have options, my friend
Opportunities, you'd better take them
Take them to your grave

Well, I see you, I see you between the lines
It's always the Western way to blame it on the yesterday
Far-reaching stranger
And you leave me, you leave me no choice this time
It's still the Western way to blame it on the yesterday
Far-reaching redeemer
Stop

Oh, look what I've done for you
I've made it all for you
I've come to set it right
Oh, look what I've made for you
I've come to set it right

I can't stay this way
Can't stay this way
I shouldn't feel this way

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

Oh, look what you've done to me
You took it all away
Took it all in just one night
Oh, I was saving it all for you
But you took it all away

I can't play this game
'Cause it's not the same
I shouldn't feel this shame
I'm never gonna feel it again

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

I can't stay this way
Can't stay this way
I shouldn't feel this way
I shouldn't feel this way
I can't stay this way
Oh, no, no, no
I shouldn't feel this way
No, no, no, no, no

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, never gonna let go
(I won't let go, I won't let go)

I won't let go, never gonna let go
It's a pity you should say it 'cause it never really means a thing
Won't let go, won't let go

Look up and see the sky tonight, it's beautiful
Turbulence, turbulence
Make sure that you look up tonight and see it all
Turbulence, turbulence
The stars across the fire and through the clouds
There's no need to be afraid anymore

With just enough time for one last song
And when I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared

My friend who I depend on was always around
Turbulence, turbulence
Yeah, my friend, she is singing a perfect sound
There's no need to be afraid any more

With just enough time for one last song
And when I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared

You've got all that I need
You're making my heart bleed
The sun ignored me until now
Just lie here with me
Your eyes they hypnotise me
Every night I'm in a dream
Just lie here with me
Yeah, just lie here with me

With just enough time for one last song
And when I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared

There's no time for one last song
She took it away and now it's all gone

Liberation day
Face down in the reservoir
Where's your street credibility now?
Theo has dropped his crown
Mirror image shadows
Passive fragments floating
A dignified loss suits you just fine my friend

Forgotten soldiers daydream
Your courage is not what it seems

Please forgive me, please believe me
'Cause our faith is strong
Now I don't deserve you I'll rest forever in this honesty, eyes closed
Breaking the war-chest, the soldier's complex, we just need more time
Just get on your knees and know that I'll be the one cracking the whip from here on

In bed with the moon flower
Contradict the nestling
I bet you think that you're some kind of power elite
Stay strong, stay true
Dreaming of nostalgia
Emerald still gleaming
Every snowflake pleads not guilty in an avalanche

Please forgive me, please believe me
'Cause our faith is strong
Now I don't deserve you I'll rest forever in this honesty, eyes closed
Breaking the war-chest, the soldier's complex, we just need more time
Just get on your knees and know that I'll be the one cracking the whip from here on

If this is goodbye, why will neither of us cry?
If the battle is won, why must we always come undone?

Please forgive me, please believe me
'Cause our faith is strong
Now I don't deserve you I'll rest forever in this honesty, eyes closed
Breaking the war-chest, the soldier's complex, we just need more time
Just get on your knees and know that I'll be the one cracking the whip from here on

I took advantage, took you for granted
If this is what you wanted
Well I got what I deserved
The worthless hurt resides inside of this broken man

She was such a graceful creature
She was such a worthy teacher
But how could one unlearn such love
When love is war, is love, is war, my dear?
Spit the blood from my mouth crying
I could not express my undying love
For all you've given me, for all you've taken
A man can change, can change, this man can change

A bloodless kindred that never hindered
The chest has splintered, the bond has over-wintered,
Heart cracked in several places

Listen to the stream so violent
Climbing up the hill so silent
Destitute inside, these veins were slowly closing up
This heart weakened
Chances are you'll never get this
Bled me dry, it's time to forget this
No-one's ever seen me like this
Should I ever fall this deep in love again?

Please forget the year I failed you, I won't hold you anymore
Pitched a tent in sunny Lynton
I wanted it back, I wanted it back, I wanted it back

And now I know where those lips have been, I won't kiss you anymore
It seems these days always doesn't quite cut it
But you know best, yeah, you know best, yeah, you know best

I cannot let it rest in peace, dear
I'll consume myself, it was my only true fear
I hate this fucking aftertaste and I hate it even more without you here
This love was my pain, my hurt, my cancer
And all I wanted was to find an answer
You love and respect someone so deeply and then you lose them for your own
Your own self-odium

For all you've given me
For all you've taken

The snow across the old white fields
I have no care so long as you're safe
And it's been settling down quite thick this year
She was a teacher to me, I remember when she loved me

We daydream alone, forgetting the one place we call home
And why would you do this without leaving me with just one more kiss?
That's all died

I miss the way you paint square flowers.
And I love the way your grace is your face
I miss this the way you taste (I miss the way you taste)
When I get lost in myself

We've been drinking it dry for quite a while
And I have no home, only in you
One by one the troops fall down
And I'm daydreaming, I remember when she left me

I heard it was murder, she laughed and she laughed 'til it hurt her
He's no longer weeping, the secret's no longer worth keeping
That's all died

I miss the way you paint square flowers.
And I love the way your grace is your face
I miss this the way you taste (I miss the way you taste)
When I get lost in myself

Does she forgive you? (Does she forgive you?)
Does she still believe in you? (Does she believe?)
Does she forgive you this time? (Does she forgive?)
Does she still still believe in you? (When all is all said and done)
Does she forgive you this time? (Does she forgive?)
Does she still believe in you?
Does she forgive you, yeah?
And does she still believe in you?
When all is all said and done

Shot down

You knew that I was lonely by the shiver in my voice
It seems like everybody's hoping but we never make the right choice

Oh, and we hold on
And we're not afraid, we run to the sun
I just wanted to know who you are
It never ends, my best friend
I just wanted to see you, it feels like you've given up

On me, I can see it in your eyes
It seems like everybody's coping, but we never make a stand

Oh, and we hold on
And we're not afraid, we run to the sun
I just wanted to know who you are
It never ends, my best friend
I just wanted to see you, it feels like you've given up
It feels like you've given up

With my foot in my mouth, I don't remember what I said
The best day of my life, I don't remember
Something tells me you're not so innocent
We hold on
And we're not afraid, we run to the sun
I just wanted to know who you are
It never ends, my best friend
I just wanted to see you, it feels like you've given up

With my foot in my mouth, I don't remember what I said
The best day of my life, I don't remember
With my foot in my mouth, I don't remember what I said
The best day of my life, I don't remember
I don't remember

I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time
(What is it you wanted to tell me?)
Things may get a little bit different
(I'm not afraid of change)
And it's the feeling that we all wish we could keep inside
(Little does she know all about)
A green raindrop inside of a stimulant
(Green raindrops inside of stones)

It can't work, it won't work,
The work's too much to work, it can't hurt to be inverted
It'd be a welcome change from the last few years
The instinct to help them, to be free, so free
And hold them as my own
I wish that I could show you just how welcome I feel inside this shadow

And I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time
How I feel a part of you
And I know it's a little late to tell you
Little raindrops on your stones
Feel the wind and the rain
I've lost it all to find it all again

So close yet so far, my star will fall
Its' downfall, it's so small
Up on the shore in the presence of the foolish silence
Sweet springs and rivers,
You gotta keep your chin up at all times,
It slows down and we look at what really matters
What really matters now

And I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time
How I feel a part of you
And I know it's a little late to tell you
Little raindrops on your stones
Feel the wind and the rain
I've lost it all to find it all again

I want to help you but first I must save myself
As the raindrops hit the stones we all illuminate

Yeah, I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time
How I feel a part of you
And I know it's a little late to tell you
Little raindrops on your stones
Feel the wind and the rain
I've lost it all to find it all again

I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time
How I feel a part of you
And I know it's a little late to tell you
Little raindrops on your stones
Feel the wind and the rain
I've lost it all to find it all again

I look out the window for a cloud that you might be under
But the sun is going down too early
Invisible embers showering my eyes for none to see, yeah
Where is your calling?
Call it curiosity, you send and I send, we congregate
And it's hereditary, couldn't conceal it

If she hadn't left me
Then would I be lying here with you?
If she hadn't said goodbye
Then would I be smiling here with you?
If she hadn't hurt me
Then would I be healing here with you?
Let go of my sorrow, thanks for leaving me

A separate feeling, one so far away it almost hurts
Common ground
I settle down at square one
Baby steps get bigger every time
Holding you close to me
Sleeping in an empty bed
You twist, I kiss this serenade
And it's hereditary, I want you to feel it

If she hadn't left me
Then would I be lying here with you?
If she hadn't said goodbye
Would I be smiling here with you?
If she hadn't hurt me
Then would I be healing here with you?
Let go of my sorrow, thanks for leaving me

And there's no time any more for playing silly games
So I'll get right to the point

If you say my name and step into my shadow,
I'll wash it away for you
If you take my hand and promise me forever
I'll give it all up for you

If you say my name and step into my shadow
If you take my hand and promise me forever
There's no more pain, the tears are superficial
There's no more shame and the years of pain dissolve

We've got hours to play with
And we've got rolling papers
Yeah, but some of the magic is lost
When you try to repeat it
I've got you in my peripheral
And I know something that you don't know
I'm still living it up with all my friends

You've really got me on the run this time haven't you, my dear?
(Kick back, strike gold, we reap the control)
And you've got me having so much fun this time, haven't you, in here?
(Kick back, strike gold, we reap)

We've got plenty of soldiers
And we've got all the ingredients
I like it best with the roof down
I'm gonna drive to the next town
I sure bet you're excited, running and hiding
Leaving the door open for all my friends

You've really got me on the run this time haven't you, my dear?
(Kick back, strike gold, we reap the control)
And you've got me having so much fun this time, haven't you, in here?
(Kick back, strike gold, we reap)

Why is this so hard? I cannot breathe
It's like my only love, she's fallen
And how can it be, I've been stung by an angel again
It hurts the most when you're all alone

Why is this so hard? I cannot breathe
It's like my only love, she's fallen
And how can it be, I've been stung by an angel again
It hurts the most when you're all alone

You've really got me on the run this time haven't you, my dear?
(Kick back, strike gold, we reap the control)
And you've got me having so much fun this time, haven't you, in here?
(Kick back, strike gold, we reap)

Why is this so hard? I cannot breathe
It's like my only love, she's fallen
And how can it be, I've been stung by an angel again
It hurts the most when you're all alone

Third jonquil, lucky
Empty pill, torn-out page
This connection is the friction we awaited
Electric, broken ghost, she feels sick
Frozen feet, little slumber's heartbeat
Lifeless old street

This criminal's motive, subliminal notice
How was I supposed to know?
And when I go to sleep the heart monitor never beeps
When I'm in your trance
I'd rather dance with you in my bed of blunt thistles

Hypnosis T-shirt, he knows this might hurt
The crumpled poems, does she know him like she used to?
For you, he fights the cruel heroes
You've seen the worst in me
Is this all I have to say?
To say

This criminal's motives, subliminal notice
How was I supposed to know?
And when I go to sleep the heart monitor never beeps
When I'm in your trance
I'd rather dance with you in my bed of blunt thistles

The devil's at my doorstep but I won't let him in yet
I've got you to raise my chin
And if it's all a dream and you're not quite what you seem
Well, I'll sleep in vain
This dream illuminates what you really mean to me, yeah

It's time for me to leave the tears upon my sleeve
You were the one girl I believed
I believed
Believed

He wonders why he made those choices
I guess he made them all for you
Got something that he wants to tell you
Got something that you should know
Everyone is laughing at you
They all laugh behind your back
They talk about you when you were different
They talk about when you fell off track
These fathers don't know the difference
They just see their sons and smile
Even though he is burning all his bridges
These things just take a while
He looks back for the last time then leaves
But we all know he'll be back

A toast to broken glass
Treading bloody feet
An oath that never lasts
His father sheds a tear

Through the desert marching slowly
Walking towards the green
In a forest so damp and withered
Where nothing is what it seems
In the mountains way beyond him
He sees his father's face in rocks
He's gotta get there, gotta keep going
But now his smile drops
He's gone back to where he started
Gone back to hell knows where
Finds some water in a bottle, can't open
This thirst is his despair
Falls to his knees and crying
Crying won't get you anywhere

A toast to broken glass
Treading bloody feet
An oath that never lasts
His father sheds a tear
I still love you, yes I still love you
A toast to broken glass
A toast to broken glass

I still believe in you and I forgive you, father's son
I still have faith in you but now I have to walk away
This virgin whore is silver
A silver gun loaded at your head
His friends all turn away from him
They told him he'd be better off dead

A toast to broken glass
Treading bloody feet
An oath that never lasts
His father sheds a tear
I still love you, yes I still love you
A toast to broken glass
A toast to broken glass

I still believe in you and I forgive you, father's son
I still have faith in you but now I have to walk away

So far, it's safe to go out, the boys have their knives out
Well, I said I'm gonna do this for you anyway, one balloon, one cannonball
This city's got a hold on you, the electricity is getting stronger
(Stronger)
A friction on my head but
(Stalemate)

Why do we compromise our dreams?
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And on and on it goes
(On and on)
Oh, and on and on and on and on and on
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
For once in my life, I'd love to feel my instincts sweeten
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And I always seem to owe you an apology
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate and on and on)

We diminish our self-respect until there is none left
Well, I said I've got to do this to you anyway, I jump, you somersault
This city's got a hold on you, the electricity is getting stronger
(Stronger)
The fury of a knife fight
(Stalemate)

Why do we compromise our dreams?
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
Oh, and on and on it goes
(On and on)
Oh, and on and on and on and on and on
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
For once in my life, I'd love to feel my instincts sweeten
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And I always seem to owe you an apology
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

Why do we compromise our dreams?
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And on and on it goes
(On and on)
Oh, and on and on and on and on and on
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
For once in my life, I'd love to feel my instincts sweeten
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And I always seem to owe you an apology
(Stalemate)

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
