Treachery

After the nightmare clinging to your raft
Tiny insects racing to survive
Super liner illuminate the sky
Your Earth was passed through bloody hands
Super soldiers waiting in the dark
Every mother bound to the kitchen sink
In a whirlpool of treachery
The factory cogs
Spin a future
Could
Could
Can't we believe again
Could
Could
Can't we believe again
After the stranger leads through the dark
There's only left there circling a shark
And the palace goes to two miles
Or maybe further
More than a murder
And we danced
And we bleed
And we live
In treachery
Could
Could
Can't we believe again
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Can't we believe again
The red seas of Jekyll Island
Washed up deckchairs
Frozen in time and space
White star
Black sky
The perfect crime
The warning sign
I can't believe this spell unfolding
I can't retrieve each soul left floating
We are the band playing on and on
So brave you say
But not today
And we danced
And we bleed
And we live
In treachery
Could
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Can't we believe again
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Can't we believe again
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Could
You must set sail alone
Can't we believe again

Black Widow

I led you into my arms again
Led you into my arms
I let you fall for my charms again
Let you fall for my charms
If there's something I want
I'm gonna have to take the lot
If there's something you need
You're gonna have to wake me
I fed you diamonds and caviar
Every day a la carte
I scratched your back with my nails and then
Drove a knife through your heart
If there's something I want
I'm gonna have to take the lot
If there's something you need
You're gonna have to wake me
There is no weapon
Hiding underneath my bed
I'm just a man
With girls and petrol in my head
But If see my shadow chasing you instead
If there's something I want
If there's something you need
I led you into my arms again
Led you into my arms
I let you fall for my charms again
If there's something I want
I'm gonna have to take the lot
If there's something you need
You're gonna have to wake me
There is no weapon
Hiding underneath my bed
I'm just a man
With girls and petrol in my head
But If see my shadow chasing you instead
You're gonna have to wake me
Black widow
You're gonna have to wake me
Black widow

Apples

Oh sister you've gone
The damage is done
She says it's only to pray now
Sister you've met
The dawn with regret
It's what you make in a day now
Take me where the apples fall for free
I've tasted the fruits
But they all turned sour for me eh eh eh
Oh sister your debts collected for sex
You factor in all your blues now
Eggs at a wall that's not there at all
The only one that you're breaking
Take me where the apples fall for free
I'm kissing the ground
But it all floats out to sea
Take me where the fraction favours me
I've read all the news
But it's says war now
TV and heart shaped soap
Cold tea and colder hope
I never wanna see the solace I could seek
I know the rules
Tested on fools
I am just a flower who forgot the sun
And burned like a paper doll
Take me where the apples fall for free
I tasted the fruits
But they all turned sour for me
Take me where the birds fly recklessly
Where we all row the boat
But some of us jump to sea
If I could love
If I could love you
If I could love
If I could love you
If I could love
If I could love you

Searching for Zero

Plastic apples
Pretty lies
Scientific alibis
Do you listen
Are you still
Stand in line
And take the pill
We could run
But we know
They will catch us
Sunset burns
Searching for zero
We could run
But we know
They will snatch us
Midnight burns
Searching for zero
Feigning battles
Kissing spies
Holographic enterprise
Fools possession
Cold machine
Veneration
Trickery
We could run
But we know
They will catch us
Sunset burns
Searching for zero
We could run
But we know
They will snatch us
Midnight burns
Searching for zero
Searching for zero
Oh oh
Searching for
Whoa oh
Whoa oh oh
Searching for
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Searching for
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Searching for
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Searching for zero
Ah ah ah
Zero
Zero
Zero
Oh oh
Zero
Zero

I can't get to sleep
I'm tangled in eternal serpentine
I'm falling in too deep
And disillusion
Cuts the hand that feeds
You hold me when I lie
You tell me everything will be Ok
You save me when I die
And then we start all over again
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
When I get around to loving you
I can't get to sleep
The midnight vision
I wander through
The wreckage of desire
It's biting at my feet
My own decision
And whispers
Imperfections so bizarre
You wanna walk the road
Behead the dragon
And battle every dragon on the way
You're beautiful and brave
I know
So could we start all over again
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
When I get around to loving you
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
My own reflection
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
A big deception
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
Wait
My own reflection
Little darling wait 'til tomorrow
Wait 'til tomorrow
When I get around to loving you

Marching

You fought for a god
Who was dealing a low blow
He was counting cash
While the blood dried onto you
All your friends are
Getting bitter
All your guns are
Marching after you
Fever dream and dust
No reflection looking back
Children hide in rafters
From the innocence they lack
All your friends are
Getting older
All your guns are
Marching after you
I fear your call
Not here at all
I fear your call
Not here at all
Sparks flying from Mars
Are the daggers in your soul
Bricks falling to pieces
We're just looking out for you
All your friends are
Getting colder
All your guns are
Marching after you
I fear your call
Not here at all
All your friends are
Getting weirder
All your guns are
Whoa whoa whoa
