The Folk Implosion Album

Through the water, from the sky
On the wind or in our minds
What is there for me to do
Find my way back home to you

Before the autumn air turn black
Before the angry men attack
Together when the sky falls through
A flash of red, I'll fuse with you

Fuse with you, I'm dying too
Running to your side
Now it's here, the pain, the fear
The fall have all arrived
A kiss goodbye

In the city, unprepared
Run and hide, stand and stare
Building's crumble in my head
Wave a flag, raise the dead

Money fuels the fires of war
Only love worth dying for
Together when the sky falls through
A flash of red, I'll fuse with you

We're all the same, running from the flame
We're on our way, don't you feel it
The air will ring, the end of everything
We're on our way, don't you feel it
We're all the same, don't they feel it
We're on our way

What brand of skin do you occupy?
Who is that smile on your face?
Where is the hole for the sands of time,
Smiling even lines upon my face?

Did comfort kill the curiosity,
The safety failed to engage?
Said I was empty while you shaken me,
Are you too angry to be saved?

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

What brand of skin do you occupy?
And what is left in the snow?
But in the end, let the money decide,
We get too deep we may drown

Harmony's gone
The rhythm remains
Harmony's gone
The rhythm remains
Harmony's gone
But the rhythm remains
It remains,
The rhythm remains

Harmony's gone
The rhythm remains...

Pearl, listen to me now
I'm about to bring it down
Here are things I need to tell you
That can't wait
I've been doubting in my sleep
There are secrets I keep
Maybe in the end I'll find a way to stay
Pearl, it don't feel that way today

It wasn't long ago, I was down upon my knees
Begging you to change your mind again
You were tired of trying to love me
You had put yourself above me
Tried to leave but, Pearl, I don't let go
That is until tonight, now I know

There's a world outside our window
There's the mystery of desire
I could wait to make you happen
I could set this house on fire

Listen, now
I'm about to bring it down
Are we meant to be, I'll ask again
As I wait for your reply
Hear the traffic passing by
Tomorrow I'll be far away from here
Pearl, I'll be far away from here

Through the world outside my window
Though you're all that I desire
I couldn't make you happen
So I set this house on fire

Give your heart to a stranger
Turn your back on a friend
Walk away, unafraid of the end
Hang the day on a promise
Breaking overhead
The pieces fall, they haven't cut me yet
Dare me to watch your moon
Disappear into a trembling night
The end could feel allright

Through a window, open every door
No use holding on

Go on into, go all of you
Let me be, let me be
Released

Now you are a stranger
We'll never talk again
But you're everywhere, all we could've been
Whatever I hoped to find
The answer or the perfect lie
I let it pass me by

We share the pain, some rise again
Let me be, let me be
Released

Beautywood, Henley could
The dream was everywhere he looked
Saw a machine in the perfect girl
A factory of static in her eye

Light a fire, on the phone
Talk all night about the way to control
All the pain of the fame
You don't own
And the world we hold

Are you rich enough, are you still in love
Did it fade away or stand
(do what you will)
Did you open up, self destruct
Feel it leave your hands
(do you want mine, are you holding on)
Choose your crutch, lose your touch
Hold me to break or divide

I'm the poet understood
Who knew he would be
An eagle on a laminated sky
With your faith betrayed, bring it home
Through the hall of the fame

I know you're good, I sing your song
I need to know you feel it (don)
You stole the soul we're taking it back
With a rifle

Hit the shore, again the climb
Morning sun I'm pale and blind
Water too familiar, too wet
Slower than the tide
I've fallen back on it

I may hide in the coral
Undersea one more night
Going deeper tomorrow
Shed my wings, learn to fall

Breathing water, getting old
I long for legs, arms to hold
My blood is cold, habit like a net
Everyday I race the tide
With every burning breath
Closer I get
To falling back on it

All my life
I'm floating, unknowing
That I will evolve

Leaving it up to me
Dropped your number somewhere
Didn't call I know you're never there
Didn't try because I don't care
Now I'm happy like the sun can shine
I've improved my personality
You were a friend but you were never mine
Now I know you never trusted me

Patterns in my wasted time
Scattered am I, that's allright
You're leaving it up to me
Leaving it up to me

Ain't it funny, no it's not at all
Watch another brother fall
Watch another friend leave
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

Patterns in my wasted mind

Leaving it up to me
Left me with an empty heart
Try again but don't know where to start
The ice broke but we floated apart

Patterns in my scattered mind
Wasted am I, all the time
Leaving it up to me

Did what I could but it wasn't enough
Everything isn't OK
Nothing that hard work or patience could
Carry away
I didn't break what's already broken
I'm only a part of the blame
But I offer myself all the guilt and regret
Just the same

Go easy on me, I'm a creature of salt
Dissolving in front of your eyes
It's easy for me to say it's my fault
Than call you or carry you home

Don't be mistaken, it's not from compassion
It's only a part of my plan
To fade away follow
Do just as little I can
Faith in a vacuum, disguised as a virtue
Somebody needs to, I'll never tell you
I'm all condescension, saintly pretension
A lie

Go easy on me, creature of salt
Dissolving invisible now
It's easy for me, say it's my fault
Involving no one but myself

I'm miles away

Said I wouldn't do it, leave it alone
Tried to ditch it, followed me right back home
After a while I don't resist
I'm alive with a purpose
My way down looking for it
That's what I'm afraid of

When I finally hold it, arrive on the scene
The doors are open I can hardly breathe
And like every guilty feeling
I've forgotten before
Three hours later, I'm hungry for more
That's what I'm afraid of
I don't have the will to change
Not when it's so easy, to be easy

Resistance is low when I'm feeling bored
What I thought was fun isn't fun anymore
Gravity pulls neither wrong or right
The moon is full and we're out of our heads
Let's do it again and feel allright
The fight is over for now
The fight is over
