ALWAYS THE LAST TO KNOW You gave me a fever before the war was over I tried not to deceive you, such a regimented soldier Oh my heart, my heart my heart my heart Always gets the best of me But time was a bandit and silence was his ally Oh heck I couldn’t stand it, so I became the bad guy Oh my heart, my heart my heart my heart Always gets the best of me Oh just let it beat Beat the same old rhythm Beat to the same old rhyme Oh I’m always the last to know Got a mind of it’s own Fought this war all alone I’m always the last to know And now the battle’s over the wind moves like your slave Wounds have healed and disappeared but I’ll take mine to the grave Oh my heart, my heart my heart my heart Always gets the best of me Oh just let it beat Beat the same old rhythm Beat to the same old rhyme Oh I’m always the last to know Got a mind of it’s own Fought this war all alone I’m always the last to know Beat the same old time so I can count to four And catch my breath before I hit the floor If you’ve been blown apart just please arrest my heart Oh I’m always the last to know (middle tribal section...the war!!!) Oh my heart, my heart my heart my heart Oh just let it beat beat the same old rhythm Beat to the same old rhyme Oh I’m always the last to know Got a mind of it’s own Fought this war all alone I’m always the last to know Beat the same old time so I can count to four And catch my breath before I hit the floor If you’ve been blown apart just please arrest my heart Oh I’m always the last to know If you’ve been blown apart just please arrest my heart Oh I’m always the last to know

Bark Like An Animal Your hand reached for mine Through the smoke, through the smoke of your cigarette Drawn by your lack of smile I was choked, I was choked by your gas jet It’s unforgettable when you bark like an animal It’s unregrettable when you bark like an animal with me You whispered in my ear “Let’s get out, let’s get out of here” I paint you in my mind With the ash, with the ash of my burning fear It’s unforgettable when you bark like an animal It’s unregrettable when you bark like an animal with me When you tilt your head back And howl at the moon You know I’ll come running To you It’s unforgettable when you bark like an animal It’s unregrettable when you bark like an animal with me It’s unforgettable when you bark like an animal It’s unregrettable when you bark like an animal with me

Bite Of My Broken Heart How can I shake off this fascination? You feed nothing but my procrastination Surrounded by everyone but no one is near me If I dream out loud will somebody hear me? I sneak into your bed but you’re already sleeping I am an astronaut orbiting you Float me the answers and fold them on your pillow Whisper the secret to undo the sorrow Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart? Swallow it slowly with wine darling, that’s a start Walk with me into the dark, my love I don’t mind Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart, broken heart Am I the only one in this confusion Singing silent melodies oh tacit collusion Come to me in my sleep and steal me from waking For when I’m alone I feel this bitter Earth quaking Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart? Swallow is slowly with wine darling, that’s a start Walk with me into the dark, my love I don’t mind Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart, broken heart In the questions you seek, is there already an answer? When you reach the highest peak is it just as fun to throw yourself off, You’re a snowball, rolling rolling rolling And you can start all over And you can start all over again Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart? Swallow is slowly with wine darling, that’s a start Walk with me into the dark, my love I don’t mind Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart, broken heart Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart? Swallow it slowly with wine darling, that’s a start Walk with me into the dark, my love I don’t mind Can I offer you a bite of my broken heart broken heart Broken heart broken heart

I Am Fire 01:47
When do you think you’ll let me go, I say When do you think you’ll let me go When do you think you’ll let me go, I say When do you think you’ll let me go In the heat you wrap me up in blankets until I become the smoke you breathe You want fire? I’ll give you fire Three elements battle while the water grieves When do you think you’ll let me go, I say When do you think you’ll let me go When do you think you’ll let me go, I say When do you think you’ll let me go I am the fire I am the fire I am the fire I am the fire I am the fire I am the fire I am the fire I am the fire When do you think you’ll let me go, I say When do you think you’ll let me go When do you think you’ll let me go, I say When do you think you’ll let me go I’ll pick you an apple I’ll pick you some fruit Open up I’ll feed you The Hungry Truth I’ll pick you an apple I’ll pick you some fruit Open up I’ll feed you The Hungry Truth

The Hungry Truth (Will Feast On You) He’s the burning under my skin Melting, itching inside, out, in Oh, Oh, Oh Such a beast, he sleeps no more Rises from a feverish slumber Oh, Oh, Oh It’s all a big misunderstanding Save Me – from the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you Brave be – oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will eat through you Save Me – Oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you He’s the demon under my bed Midnight picnics wake the dead Oh, Oh, Oh Such a beast, he stands up tall Rising from nowhere at all Oh, Oh, Oh It’s all a big misunderstanding Save Me – from the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you Brave be – oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will eat through you Save Me – Oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you At the burning of the sun The exchange has just begun At the rising of the moon The hungry truth will be here soon Save Me – from the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you Brave be – oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will eat through you Save Me – Oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you Save Me – from the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you Brave be – oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will eat through you Save Me – Oh the hungry truth the hungry truth will feast on you

Let Us Dance With Our Fear Chattering monsters ring my ear They salivate the sorrow of the years I know you only mean well When you feel frozen I cannot steal the sun You’re already golden Awakening has begun I will not fill your head With all you want to hear So if all those dreams seem dead Let us dance with our fear Let us dance with our fear They squashed my heart until it bled And turned it into soup and bread I know you only mean well When you feel frozen I cannot steal the sun You’re already golden Awakening has begun I will not fill your head With all you want to hear So if all those dreams seem dead Let us dance with our fear Let us dance with our fear Can I have this waltz my darling May I breathe in your deceit May I swallow all your atoms May I bath in this defeat Can I take this waltz my darling Can I eat your skin in bed Shall I dance with all my shadows Or should I lose my head When you feel frozen I cannot steal the sun You’re already golden Awakening has begun I will not fill your head With all you want to hear So if all those dreams seem dead Let us dance with our fear When you feel frozen I cannot steal the sun You’re already golden Awakening has begun I will not fill your head With all you want to hear So if all those dreams seem dead Let us dance with our fear Let us dance with our fear Let us dance with our fear Let us dance with our fear
