Carrying the burden of paradise
Your cup runs over
And wine spills to the floor
Now the dogs come to lap it up
Cause all they want is more
The weight will bury you
Carrying the burden of paradise
You had everything you could want and more
And you paid the luxury tax
Now the future shows itself, it's featureless
Yeah and you want your life back
The weight will bury you
Carrying the burden of paradise
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
The future is featureless
Carrying the burden of paradise

Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
I hear the sound of the far off winds
And the rhythm of the drum begins
It starts off quiet but it's growing loud
And it echoes through the growing crowd
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
All the light around is turning dim
Winners losing and the losers win
Do you think that we will make it through?
Is there anything else left to do?
We are coming closer to an end
What have we become?
Where there's nothing left for us to mend
What have we become?
There are no horses and no riders here
What have we become?
Just a ghost that shivers, disappears
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on
Fade away, blow on

Cold War
07:34
|
|||
|
Light breaks and your head aches
And the color leaves your mouth
Last night in the moonlight
In a city that's gone south
Moment by moment
You're losing the feeling
That you had at the beginning
But you didn't even know it
So you keep on believing
That you'll get back there somehow
You keep rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling
But where are you now
Where are you now
Aspirin and a smoke ring
And a dozen empty cans
All spent, dried up again
Under a ceiling fan
Gold's gone, what's done is done
Are you keeping track?
It's a cold war and more and more
You seem to feel the lack
Moment by moment
You're losing the feeling
That you had at the beginning
But you didn't even know it
So you keep on believing
That you'll get back there someday
You keep rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling
But where are you now
Where are you now
Moment by moment
You're losing the feeling
That you had at the beginning
But you didn't even know it
So you keep on believing
That you'll get back there somehow
You keep rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling
But where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now

Beasts of the Heart
04:20
|

The wolves are in the basement
Pawing at a broken dream
I do believe it's growing cold
Beasts of the heart
Beasts of the soul
Heard the horses hoofs on water
As if looking in the mirror
I don't believe in gold no more
Beasts of the heart
Beasts of the soul
Beasts of the heart
Beasts of the soul
There's a vulture on a black moon
Howling at a purple sun
Seems that we forgot what we were told
Beasts of the heart
Beasts of the soul
Beasts of the heart
Beasts of the soul
Beasts of the heart
Beasts of the soul

Hiding in the Moment

Hiding in the moment
Looking for a feeling
Running from the break of day
Losing all the reasons
Flipping through the seasons
Trying to find the words to say
Will you stay with me
Turn out the lights?
Will you be there in morning?
Bending under the weight of paradise
Disregarding every warning
Picking up the pieces
I don't have much to go on
How will I find my way?
By hiding in the moment
Chasing down a feeling
Running from the break of day?
Will you stay with me
Turn out the lights?
Will you be there in morning?
The walls are crumbling down in paradise
Disregarding every warning

Too Far Gone
05:10

Love is like a soldier
Going to a distant land
To conquer and harvest
And make the lion lie beside the lamb
Love is like a laser
It knows exactly where to be
It claws and carves through skin and bone
And cuts the curtain keeping you from me
I don't know what I'm doing here
I'm floating hoping for somewhere to land
I can't hear, you're breaking up
I'm too far gone here
I might need a hand
You've held the load
I know you understand
Love is like the thunder
You hear it in the sky
And you know there's nothing that you can do
The lightning bolt's already come to start the fire
Love is like a photograph
Your memory's entwined
Every ocean has its harbor
Each ship with an anchor, you as mine
I don't know what I'm doing here
I'm sinking, thinking
I might need a plan
I can't hear, you're breaking up
I'm too far gone here
I might need a hand
You've held the load
I know you understand
I don't know what I'm doing here
I'm sinking, thinking
I might need a plan
I can't hear, you're breaking up
I'm too far gone here
I might need a hand
You've held the load
I know you understand

The Echo
06:03
|
|||
|
Alone with my gun
In the grey hustle of time
Awaiting the sun
To collapse and unwind
This violence again
And the wind through the trees
My focus grows dim
While the memories recede
Looking for an answer in the highway of the stars
I don't know where we're going but it isn't very far
I'm looking out the window and I'm thinking of the cost
You're loving all the colors but I think that we are lost
