Ballad Of Pure Thought (Limited Edition Bonus)
. . .


Whenever you're here you're alive
The devil says you can do what you like
Come what may, come what might
You'll see me there

They've come to bury you, child
And there's a man on the loose in your eyes
But should you stay and should you fight
You'll see me there

Dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming true and true
Screaming, oh my lord
When the scheme's undone
One will survive

Get in line
Take your broken number
I'll wait for you
'Cause, baby, I've
Come to take you under
Your number
I thought it up

it's easy, it's easy
Easy through and through
Easy, oh my lord
It's easy when there's

Nowhere to hide, in my
Love, take me now
You'll see me
In your disguise

I promise to be with you till the end
Or somewhere near the end, my love
I promise to be with you till the end
At least until you're dead

. . .


Once the feeling comes
You play the part
And break their heart
Until you feel alive

Scratch through the ceiling
You love to have your fun
Behind the gun
Until the fever dies

And
There's something at work here
There's something at work here
There's something at work here
Dark circles around your body

Soon you'll be stealing from
The odds and ends
Who once were friends
But now you demonize

Back to the meaning of
The way you are
You crash the car
To make the fever rise

And
There's something at work here
There's something at work here
There's something at work here
Chalk circles all around your body

Shiftless inside your guile
Will lay the card
That tears apart
What used to be alive

Slips your aching heart
And once again
Without, within
Will come to be invited

. . .


Muddy water, broken glass
I can feel you from the inside now
Born a liar, obfuscate
Step aside while I manipulate

Suspended from the rails
Hot on your toxic trail

See the master, heel the slave
This extraordinary shadow state
You and I could go anywhere
Cut your losses and I'll meet you there

Suspended from the nail
Shattered beyond the pale

Say what you wanna say
I can feel your game
Say what you want to
Say what you got to say
Till I feel it

What you foresee is what you'll get
What you foresee is what you'll get

Suspended from the nail
Got you can't stop me

Say what you wanna say
I can feel your game
Say what you want to
Say what you got to say
Till I feel it coming

Around ----
I feel it

. . .


Careful when you look into my eyes, you'll turn to stone
And I am not so strong to let you go
And tell me does it scare you when I look the other way
And through the walls into your very soul

I get lucky sometimes
I get lucky sometimes

Shakes me down for secrets in the light of day does she
But I am not so dumb to let you know
Whispers and deceivers come divide the harmony
But I still have one card I've yet to show

I get lucky sometimes
I get lucky sometimes

Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you

Tell me, tell me, why don't you tell me 'bout the reasons why
You're lying in the dark when there's a monster in your head
And tell me, tell me, don't run away to buy more complication
Find the time of day and the sun will shine again

I get lucky sometimes
I get lucky sometimes

Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you
Once you know the way down, the path belongs to you

I know you know

. . .


From the field
The border
Gomorrah
On the corner

Lick your lips
Desire
The liar
Becomes divider

All rise with me
All take your place
All rise with me
All take your place

Spread your legs
Insert your alibi
A handsome man he was
The situation turned

You screwed yourself
And let somebody else
Bust down, take your place
And kiss your dirty face

All ride with me
All take your place
I'll ride alone
I'll take your place

Come taste the body, come on
Come waste the body, come on
They found the body turned on
Blood ties the body to the son

All rise with me
All take your place
All rise with me
I'll take your place
I'll take your place

You screwed yourself
And let somebody else
Bust down, take your place
And kiss your dirty face

All rise
All rise
All rise

. . .


The sky descends to meet you
Of this I can recall
As I prepare to leave you
A kiss, a curse, a draw

Gunshots, baby
Let's cut through the crowd
Gunshots, baby
Let's cut through the crowd

Your smile I came to see through
And paint it on the wall
As I began to deceive you
I held your hand in thrall

Gunshots, baby
Let's cut through the crowd
Gunshots, baby
Let's cut through the crowd

Breaking, taking
We've all gone inside now
To steal, deface
Corrupt, erase

The sky descends to meet you
Of this I can recall
As I prepare to leave you
A kiss, a curse, a draw

Gunshots, baby
Let's cut through the crowd
Gunshots, baby
Let's cut through the crowd

. . .


In the embers
I die slowly
Undercover
Lock and key

In the bedroom
You'll be lying
Still as night air
Under siege

She was stolen
And I the unturned stone
Deep is the hole
In the sky

As you look up
At her faces
Expectations
Swallow me

You'll be lied to
You will suffer
I'm gonna get you back
Wait and see

Sinking stones
But I know where they go
Deep in the hole
In the sky

Over there
Under sleeping eyes
It's over
Mon ami

. . .


Little bit of smoke in the sky
It's late in the evening
And the end of the summer
Burns upon your skin

It's never too late to cry
You sleep with strangers
I'll show you things that you've never seen
Then I'll take you home

Far below the city burns

Now they'll come as your friend and they'll warn you
About all the rats in the barn
Come closer and when they disarm you
They'll ask you to sit in the front of their car

Cold blooded but some like it freezing
I keep my blood in the bone
Just when you've forsaken me
That's when I turn my blinders on

And I'll make them bleed for my baby bird

You are loved by me
You are loved by me
You are loved by me

. . .


Hush now, baby
Soon I'll see you in my dreams
Asking nothing
Nothing's ever what it seems

Baby want the milk and honey
Ask me and you shall receive
Never seen no devil
Wear his heart upon his sleeve

Down the corner
Where the streets have turned to sand
If you do unto others
You will die by your own hand

Baby, pull me even closer
Tangled like the web she weaves
Shaking off the demons
Now they're coming after me

Don't mistake me
Ain't no ordinary man
Going to save me
From that shotgun in your hand

Covering the walls in shadow
Faster than the sound of speed
Never seen no devil
Now it's all that I can see

I see you dream
I see you dream
Can't deny
Can't deny

. . .


You better shut your eyes, here's where your life begins
There's something gone, anesthetized again
I see you run, you're never coming back
You lost control, so easy to distract

All come alive for the hesitant
The summer sun is blind and inveterate
Some seek a light
Some creep at night
Some run and hide

I do what I want to, I calculate
Forgot you were broken, my mistake
I look in the mirror, time to pay
And nobody knows me, when I'm awake

I'm so sad, so keep it coming
You're falling down, I'll get your money
Walk in the room, and I see your ass has gone astray
You've lost your way, come find your way

All come alive in the present tense
The summer sun has died of irrelevance
Some see the light
Some sleep at night
Some take their time

I do what I want to, I calculate
Forgot you were broken, my mistake

. . .


Memories to crucify are sent below
I suppose, I suppose
To me a truer love was never told
Now you know, now you know

Some speak of a lie
Control of the game
But I leave the past alone
Beckoning in the night
And a wolf in the wings
I was the last to know

Rain turns the fire to ember
There you were, there you
And I feel that it's my turn to fall
Now you know, now you know

They'll scream and recite
Your words from their cage
As I leave the lamb below
Reckoning, do or die
In control of the same
I'll see you at the door

One more time, dear
This I know
One more time, dear
This I know

In a black sky
Where your dreams collide
Push your faith aside
And you'll realize
That you can't lie
What you feel inside
Nowhere to hide
You're melting

Your medicine is faith
And your flesh divine
Tethered to the flame
Of a dying light
Break you on the wheel
And your bones we'll grind

You're never going to feel
Like you felt last night
Ever wonder where went
Your guiding light?
Wake up in a field
With the second sight
You'll love me
You'll love me

. . .


You're gone and, babe, that's a good thing
I'm still here and looking for something
To come along, to come along

I know, I know, we both say the same things
I don't care, I don't care about winning
So don't call, don't call, to talk about nothing

So many times I waited for you
I figured it out and now we're through
I won't give up, I won't give in

I know, I know, we both say the same things
I don't care, I don't care about winning
So don't call, don't call, to talk about nothing

You're gone and, babe, that's a good thing
I've spent my days working for something
We don't give up, we don't give in

I know, I know, we both say the same things
I don't care, I don't care about winning
So don't call, don't call, to talk about nothing

You're gone
You're gone
You're gone and, babe, that's a good thing

. . .


I'm sorry that I had to go out on my own investigation
if only I had known it would cause this separation,
stupid of me, to behave like I was free,
for the taking, please don't forsake me
if only I could make her, feel a little better
take away these ugly thoughts,
exorcise the demons that I brought

I must find, a state of mind, that deals with the temptation,
I know I'm gonna find, a way to rise above her expectations
of me and all that I could be, dedication in a relation,
is more then any flirt
I'm cleaning up the dirt, I'm gonna steal those haunted
dreams, lift us up to something more supreme

I always thought it would be easy,
we'd see it and feel it,
but nothing is less true,
as tears tell
it's hardcore and painful
