Lyrics to All The Way Down (Chapter 2) :
It sat beside his bed as near as it could go
He read it every night just before he'd go
Asleep for the night with his dreams it'd fight, God save his soul
His mum would say, "no, don't be afraid son, there's no way you'll go"
All the way down. All the way down. All the way down. All the way down

His mom would tell him read it and you'll be alright
He took it's every word and made it his life
All the way down. All the way down. All the way down. All the way down

He never stood a chance when he's caught up in the night
He never thought he'd ever make it out of the light now

Lyrics to There's No Such Man As Crasp :
Ribs break
Souls stay bare
This i know
Your forked stare
Cuts through

Face up to a pointless task
Its the same
Re-written as crasp

Ribs break
Souls stay bare
This i know
Your forked stare
Cuts through

Face up to a pointless task
Its the same
Re-written as crasp

Face up to a pointless task
His name
Is crasp

Ribs break
Souls stay bare

Lyrics to There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake :
Look up!!
C-c-c-c-c-captain christ says!!
You think too much about the wrong things.
You sing about the wrong things.
Take extra special care!!

Simply put you're a fuck up.
C-c-c-c-c-captain christ says!!
You think too much about the wrong things.
You sing about the wrong things.

Take extra special care..
Take extra special...
Take extra special...

Take on the world, at their own game.
You might succeed, and win again.

Ribs break. Souls stay bare.
Your' forked stare cuts through.
You twist, you turn
Wrapping around me, wrapping around me.
Now, so tight, squeezing the life from me.

You're facing a pointless task.
But it's the same thing, and it's the same thing.
And I will face the task...

Lyrics to The Kids From Kibble And The Fist Of Light :
Say nothings better.
You say nothings better
Say nothings better than the rest.
Say hope you're better than the rest 'cause you talk a good game.

Your sensations are suffering.
I'll make your sensations suffer.
Through these long sadistic highs,
And you see the way I collide with you.

I hope you see straight.
Tonight I'm in a rage.
Tonight I'm in a rage.

Say hope you're better than the rest 'cause you talk a good game.

My sensations are suffering.
My sensations are suffering.
Through these long sadistic nights,
And you see the way I collide with you.

I hope you see straight.
Tonight I'm in a rage.
Tonight I'm in a rage.
Tonight I'm in a rage.

Once again, you've missed the point.
These strange explosions hit me like a fist of light

Lyrics to The Weapons Are Concealed :
I'm wearing it.
I'm wearing it under my face.
An expression and an admission of my disgrace.
But I'm sure I will make it okay.
I'll try to give you something better.
I'm wearing it today.
But I'm sure I will make it okay.
I'll try to give you something better.

You with a grin on your face.
Me with a bag in its place.
I've put a rope round my neck.
I'm trying to win your respect.

Conceal the weapons!
Conceal the weapons!
Death shares everything I have.
Conceal the weapons!
Conceal the weapons!
But I hate the way I
Conceal the weapons!

Blame it on the staring match between the two of us.
Blame it on the staring match between the two of us

Lyrics to Pause It And Turn It Up :
All I ask of you is to stick around.
Express the pain and your sadness.
All I ask of you is to turn him down.
Confess the system at work here.

Wounds take time to heal.
Wounds take time to heal.

All I ask of you is to stick around.
Explain the art of your madness.
All I ask is the truth and that you turn him down.
Confess the system at work here.

Wounds take time to heal.
Wounds take time to heal.

I have an idea about the voices I hear.
They're audible to everyone, everyone but me.
Turn it off

Lyrics to Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies :
Come on baby do you think it's good to feel
Like I'm lying here swimming in memories
I fear God because everything dies babe
Got a gun in the back of my car
A spasm of good sense is making my eye twitch
I've had enough of all your consolation

I'm drowning caught in a shit tide
Tape my face to the inside of love
Nothing to eat but fingers in the backseat
Well I've met my God and he had nothing to say to me

I pray to God that you're right before my eyes
Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes

Don't wanna waste no more time
Time's what we don't have
Everywhere I look someone dies
Wonder when it's my turn

How well do you know me?
Leave an open door, what you looking for
Babe when you come back down?
I built a time machine to escape from all the pain in the back of my car
Living's a problem because everything dies babe
Save yourself you're not too far away

Lyrics to Saturday Superhouse :
I'll be sitting on the left side
You'll be sitting on the right
Dying to share our problems
Make everything alright
Then I see a darkness
You see the blinding light
Will Oldham's in the corner moaning
Can't you write your own lines

If we don't know where we belong
It'll make no difference from where we started
Look out kid cause here it comes
You're not the lucky ones

There's a dozen corpses on the left side
I swear ones smiling at me
Compliments on your confession baby
Wow you really showed me
You think you're full of conviction
Really you're just trying to survive
Tie them up then slit them out
It's good to help the boy shine

Lyrics to Who's Got A Match :
Which of the witches do you belong?
The one with the eye patch or the one who's highly strung
I know you can't trust anyone
How do you capture a photograph?
Put it to sleep pretend you're having a laugh
I know you thought you'd have the last

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight

The midget is frigid I put it to you
Who's got a match I've got the petrol to set it too
I know I shouldn't have trusted you
It's making me tense when you're telling me
It's just the facts that don't compute the classic way
I guess I'm wrong again anyway

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire
I'm a fire
I'm a fire.

Lyrics to As Dust Dances 2/15ths :
There's a man on the corner selling dozens of bones
Every type of bone except the one that I want
Ever think what your eyes do when you're trying to sleep
Or where your tongue rests is against your teeth

Now it's bigger than us, it's bigger than everything it tries to touch

Asleep is the safest place you can be
You can try hard to catch it, it just catches you
Imagine a camera coming up fromyour feet
Relax all your muscles son, just hope your heart's in one piece

Now it's bigger than us, bigger than everything i tries to touch
It's bigger than a halo, a devil, an angel and a crow

The bone's got the wrong detail I hoped it woud have
Save for a shinbone or even a hand

Such a lonely ride, such a lonely ride

The bone's got the wrong detail I hoped it would have for you
Save for a shinbone or even a hand

Lyrics to A Whole Child Ago :
I don't want to let you know, your hearts an attraction
but I know what you're looking for
it's me you're waiting for
you're not allowed to live anymore
and a whole child ago I would sleep all day
doing handstands in bottle bins to prove that I'm sane
and I'm not fooling around

looks like we made it
I can tell that she'd been flying
loks like we madde it tonight

I'm the second devil on your right or left
with an eyeball melting out the corner of my mouth
your wings are bleeding
you're not supposed to fly anymore
and a whole child ago I would sleep all day
doing handstands in bottle bins to prove that I'm sane
I'm not fooling around

looks like we made it
I can tell that she'd been flying
I saw her in the sky
why don't you just ask her yourself?

Lyrics to The Conversation Is ... :
I wander streets at night and hope to god to see your face
The fluorescent billboards sell a wonderful life that doesn't exist anymore
The conversation is
The conversation is over

What will I do if I'm wrong
Will I blame it on everyone
It's like I always do
So I'm a coward because of you

Are pills the only way to make myself complete again
They become the only way to a wonderful life with a happy ending
The conversation is
The conversation is over

What will I do if I'm wrong
Will I blame it on everyone
It's like I always do
I'm a coward because of you
I'm finding it hard to explain why I think that I'm right again
I'd love someone else to blame so I'm a coward because of you
And then you try to understand what it takes to be a man
And then you look into your hearts it defines you

What will I do if I'm wrong
Will I blame it on everyone
It's like I always do
I'm a coward because of you
I'm finding it hard to explain why I think that I'm right again
I'd love someone else to blame so I'm a coward because of you
And then you try to understand what it takes to be a man
And then you look into your hearts it defines you

The conversation is over
The conversation is over.

Lyrics to Now I'm Everyone :
Happiness is an allusion
Hold me close to see me a little more
Until my body feels your magic touch and steals my skin before it rots
My castle is a great illusion

Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, its less than I've ever been

Hairy eyes are an obstruction
Help me die don't wanna rush ya
And all I need is a philosophy of noise to help me laugh and breath
My castle is a great illusion

Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, its less than I've ever been
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, its less than I've ever been

This is the one [x38]

Lyrics to Semi-Mental 4/15ths :
I smoke my face in
night after night
To numb the pain and stop the world
spinning round and round
But how was i to know
that in my mind I'm not so pure
Look into my eyes
you can see how many different people

You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental

I'm not a drinker
I try it every night
I force it down to throw it up
and start all over again
But I will climb a tower
just to stick my flag on top
And look down on everyone
help me to salute the people

You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental

You have tried to resist the pain
but you know you're not alone
no you know you're not alone
I have tried to resist the pain
but now I'm all alone
and now I'm all alone

You shone a light on my life
now I'm just sentimental (repeat to end)

Are you irrelevent? You've fallen to pieces
How do you become one again?
Are you an ephant? You'll crush me to pieces
How do you do?

Lyrics to Love Has A Diameter :
You can give up if you like your heads lying down at your feet
You can call on the phone anytime you want to talk to me
If you know who you are you can always go round and see
If you don't and you're scared concentrate and grit your teeth

I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking at me

Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah

Feathers will fly if you shoot a bullet full of bubble gum
At my throat or my heart I'm protected by a humming bird
Receive only luck if you can it wouldn't be a constant mistake
Over flown but under worn so please come follow me

I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking at me
I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking, the television looking at me

Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah
(i will claw at your own feet)
Wooooah
(just because it tastes so sweet)
Wooooah
(take it out quiet star)
Wooooah
(its not like your in need)
Wooooah

I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking at me
(I will claw at your own feet)
I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
(take it out quiet star)
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking, the television looking at me

Wooooah
Wooooah
(television looking at me)
Wooooah
Wooooah
(television looking at me)
Wooooah
Wooooah
(television looking at me)

Lyrics to Get Fucked Stud :
Oh my distorted smile will tighten its grip
Now somebody is asking when you will disappear
You have to believe yourself to be happy now
You can't reply on someone else to be happy

Get fucked stud it's time to kill
Only you see the sunset on amphetamines

All hands on the courtesy cunt
Get fucked stud I know you will burn in hell
For pretending to be the god of all men I demand of you
Pretend to burn in hell to be
The god of all well follow me
You're fucking right. I'm all at sea
My teeth are made of baby hair

The skyline is burning red so we'll all go down
Follow my head to survive cause it won't take us long to come round
The skyline is burning red so we'll all go down
Follow my head to survive cause it won't take us long to come round

Get fucked stud it's time to kill
Only you see the sunset on amphetamines

The skyline is burning red so we'll all go down
Follow my head to survive cause it won't take us long to come round

Lyrics to Folding Stars :
Take a long hard look at yourself
How did you end up here
The blood drips like red inverted balloons
Tomorrow is a promise to no-one

If you want, follow me and I'll lead you inside
You don't have to run and hide

Eleanor, Eleanor
I would do anything for another minute with you because
It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier

In a bedroom with no windows or doors
All the happy people are crying
You can't hold a gaze for a second or two
It always ends in total darkness

Eleanor, Eleanor
I would do anything for another minute with you because
It's not getting easier, it's not gettig easier
You will be folding stars
You can't even understand
It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier

It ends in a place with no love only hate
And a mirror reflecting the truth
In your eyes, in your face you can't wash it away
From your cold, cold heart

I hope that you're folding stars

Lyrics to 9/15ths :
We're on a hellslide help us help us

Are you irrelevent? You're falling to pieces

How do you become one again?
Are you an elephant? You've fallen to pieces
How do you do?

We're on a hellslide help us help us

(Thanks to Lauren for these lyrics)

Lyrics to Machines :
I would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you
I would dig a thousand more if I needed to
I look around the grave
For an escape route of old routines
There doesn't seem to beany other way

I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

Crazy as it sounds you wont feel as low as youfeel right now
At least that's what I've been told by everyone
I whisper empty sounds in your ear
And hope that you won't let go
Take the pieces and build them skywards

Take the pieces and build them up to the sky

Lyrics to The Captain :
Angels fall to the floor
Like they would if I was captain
"Silver children," She roared
"I'm not the son of God"

Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Liars and lovers combine tonight
We're gonna make a scene

Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Help me be captain of
Our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I can't ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

I gave birth to a fire
It's like his features where burning
I'm in control
I am the son of God

Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Line up your soldiers one final time
We're gonna have a ball

Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Help me be captain of
Our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I can't ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away

Lyrics to That Golden Rule :
Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head
We made love at the side of the road
Reflex, you better know this flows fast
This river is particularly sinister
Close your eyes and take my hand

I want to scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Love that golden rule, that golden rule
Need that golden rule, that golden rule
Secrets are the truth, they are the truth
We need that silver rule, that silver rule

Face to face with the ball and chain
I'll poke my head up till its red
I tell my secrets and you took my pain
About a broken heart and I will do it again
Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head

I want to scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Love that golden rule that golden rule
Need that golden rule that golden rule
Secrets are the truth they are the truth
We need that silver rule that silver rule

Lyrics to Bubbles :
Well how's your view of things today?
Got up young to fade away
the sinner sin but aren't aware
our fables take us everywhere
I can't keep up with you
I can't keep up

I can't complete with history
we'll film it live but dub our tale
the mistery must stay inside
look at our homes, look at our lives
in control of the morning
in control of the sea

you are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
you are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
and she's down by the river
in her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
and she's down by the river
it's time to consider
that baby is a sinner
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away you sins and go home

I only once upset my kin
accused him of a moral slip
well he came back and claimed the change
I know his life's the same again
I can't ask him again
I should let it go

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
and she's down by the river
in her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
and she's down by the river
it's time to consider
that baby is a sinner
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She's face down the river

Lyrics to God & Satan :
I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan cos I want to hear both sides.
Does that make me cynical?
There are no miracles and this is no miraculous life.

I savour hate as much as I crave love
because I'm just a twisted guy.
Is this the pinnacle?
Is this the pinnacle?
The pinnacle of being alive?
Now I see the light.

Well I look up to God
But I see trouble
Cos this ain't a miracle.
I just want to take my chance to live through a miracle.
aah
aah

I know for certain that
Some one is watching
But is it from up or down?
I make you miserable
You stick with me although you know I'm gonna ruin your life

I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan cos I want to hear both sides.
Does that make me cynical?
There are no miracles and this is no miraculous life.
We walk into the tide.

Well I look up to God but I see trouble cos this ain't no miracle
I just want to take my chance to live through a miracle

When the seesaw snaps and splinters your hand, don't come crying to me.
I'll only see your good side and believe its a miracle.
A miracle.

I slap the water and watch the fish dance to the ripples of us.
We're just stubbor duds,
blinking eyes encased in rust.

This ain't a miracle.
This ain't a miracle.
This ain't a miracle.
This ain't a miracle.
aah
aah

Lyrics to Born On A Horse :
I pronounce it "Aluminium",
'cause there's an "i" next to the "u" and "n",
Now write it down slowly,
And read it out fast.

She's got eyes,
Preposterous eyes,
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before.

I've been counting on the wrong things,
To make life feel alright,
You could be my acid queen,
Until the end of time,
'Cause you can have it all,
You're stuck in the middle,
Racing one and all,
I was born on a horse that's all.

I like to think I'm just a thoroughbred,
In all but name and with no horse's flesh,
We're galloping slowly,
Through this broken glass.

She's got hooves,
Preposterous hooves,
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before.

I've been counting on the wrong things,
To make life feel alright,
You could be my acid queen,
Until the end of time,
'Cause you can have it all,
You're stuck in the middle,
Racing one and all,
I was born on a horse that's all.

'Cause you can have it all,
You're stuck in the middle,
Racing one and all,
I was born on a horse that's all.

Lyrics to Mountains :
Took a bite out of a mountain range,
Thought my teeth would break the mountain did.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and,
I'm treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there's and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me.(You are my mountain, you are my sea)

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea

Lyrics to Shock Shock :
Well you scratch and you scratch, 'til your face comes away
replaced by a hole or a vortex, just waiting to play;
I commend your violence

well i enter a key with my wrist sticking out
the soles of my feet worn down to a dusty mess
I'll stay numb to these accidents

Well you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about;
maintain my silence

You're a shame to your dad cause your killing his days
Irresponsible, like you've only yourself to blame;
maintain your friendliness

well you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about;
maintain my silence
you're wondering what, you're exhausted, exhausted
from using these lies; I'm sure you'll regress again
maintain your silence

I've been crippled by shock, shocked again
I'll continue to doubt your violence, with kisses of hate that silence
I've been crippled by shock, shock shock shock shock shock
