lyrics
Too harsh a climate for crime.
White on white in the shallow graveyard.
It is never dark in paradise,
The font of human fractures.
A laughing matter of life and death.
Sound is like water -
It comes out wherever it can.
Slowly his emotions began to return
And the first was sadness.
Use your imagination
To make up the dreams you forget -
The glass book of the dream eaters.
That which is in constant motion
Contains all possible forms.
I am my own ghost.
I am my own secret police.
I'm the ransom in your name
In a parody of peace.
And you've outstayed my welcome
All of your questions leave marks.
Alone, alone.
My plans for out future -
Silence but for stiffening sky.
Anxiety is caught between vitrines
Of past and future amber,
Viewing the present ghost.
The aspirations of the architects
And the tenants were not the same.
You are the smear of soot in my candle flame
And I will avoid you like the second coming.
I walk from here to there on a single breath.
Memory is a rotten hologram.
These hands will be the death of me -
These hands in my mouth,
Excavating power.
I am my own ghost.
I am my own secret police.
I'm the ransom in your name
In a parody of peace.
And you've outstayed my welcome
All of your questions leave marks.
Alone, alone.
