1. ON A TUESDAY

• How life has its way
  of turning your best suit
  the wrong way
  As if to smile and say
  “I feast on irony my friend
  I am come-what-may
  And it might just be, my friend that this is your unlucky day
  Will you change?
  What would you give to stay?”

  Will I change?
  I honestly can’t say
  I have no promises to trade for the lord of come-what-may
  to provide me with another day
  Every promise that I make
  is a promise I might break

  The things we humans say to survive
  The promises we make
  The lies we tell
  The vows we take
  The battles we all win to survive
  The prices we will pay
  Though we all know
  We will lose one day
  Life is a ride, they say
  But there are tickets I will never pay
  I’m afraid there’ll be no vow today
  For any god of come-what-may

  You let me live
  You let me die
  for what I am right here and now
  For nothing more than all I am today
  I close my eyes…
  I do not pray
  Promises – they tempt me too
  Will I change?
  I won’t be that fool
  Maybe for a day, a week
  Maybe two

• I’m a dreamer physicist
  A man-child escapist
  The face of death won’t make me an evangelist
  I close my hands
  But not in prayer
  Not in prayer
  Into fists

  I lost the will

  The things we humans say to survive
  The promises we make
  The lies we tell
  The vows we take
  The battles we all win to survive
  The prices we will pay
  Though we will lose
  Either way
  I lost the will
  I lost the way
  I haven’t lost the faith
  It’s just lost in me

  I lost the will…

  The things
  That we must say
  To pretend
  This passing light of day
  Is not the end
  Is not the end

  The things
  That we all say
  To be saved
  The things that we will trade
  Just give away
  For one more day
  We’ll smile and tell
  Sweet lies
  To chase away
  The shadows that play
  Cast
  By the passing light of day

2. TONGUE OF GOD

• I cry in the shower
  and smile in the bed

  “Don’t be afraid”
  I hear people say
  As if it will let me live
  if I’m just brave
  Then the clouds of death
  would simply draw away

  I cry in the shower
  and smile in the bed

  The things that the living tell
  the not dead
  If you only heard them
  as they sound in my head
  If you only heard them
  from this bed

  What’s on your mind, God?
  Spit it out!

  Tongue of God
  Lip my grin
  Run your tip over my back skin
  I’m not your kissing kin
  Tongue of God
  Lash right in
  Lick me clean on the inside
  We were never kissing kin

  God loves a jester
  God loves a joke

• I may be stubborn and headstrong
  but you know I mean well
  Too demanding to call up
  But too good for Hell
  So if you don’t love me
  I might still be ok
  Still have enough spine to serve
  a punch line

  What’s on your tongue, God?
  Spit it out!
  What’s that in your mouth?

  Spit!
  It!
  Out!

  Tongue of God
  Lip my grin
  Run your tip over my back skin
  I’m not your kissing kin
  Tongue of God
  Lash right in
  Lick me clean on the inside
  We were never kissing

  Tongue of God
  Lip my grin
  Run your tip over my back skin
  I’m not your kissing kin
  Tongue of God
  Lash right in
  Lick me clean on the inside
  We were never kissing kin

3. MEANINGLESS

• I still smell of sweat
  Still the scent of my giving in
  Try to feel regret
  But I want it to stay on my
  Skin

  I still fantasize
  Close my eyes to be wrong again

  Still those fuck-me eyes
  As I’m licking the palm of my
  Hand

  How the hell
  Am I supposed to keep my self
  When you are so damn far away And everything feels meaningless And I am not mine
  How the hell
  Am I supposed to keep my self
  When you are so damn far away And everything feels meaningless And I am not mine

  I still smell of sex
  Still her taste on my fingertips
  Try to feel remorse
  But it‘s hard with her wet on my Lips

• How the hell
  Am I supposed to keep my self
  When you are so damn far away
  And everything feels meaningless
  And I am not mine
  How the hell
  Am I supposed to keep my self
  When you are so damn far away
  And all I do seems meaningless
  And I am not mine

  I need something of my own
  Something with a locked door
  A room just for me alone
  Something that I can control

  I need something of my own
  I need something cutting
  to the bone

  I need some thing that is mine
  If that must be guilt, then fine

  (How the hell)

  I wanted something nice, but fine
  This guilt is a hole but it’s mine
  I wanted something nice
  This guilt is a hole but it’s mine!

4. Silent Gold

• Push me over
  Make me shiver
  You’re my cover
  Let your river flow
  Flow
  Flow going high and low

  Leave me open
  Leave me fretless
  Peel my cold skin
  Make me reckless
  Run
  Run
  Run for the morning sun

  Baby, wrap me in your silent gold
  Let the saddest story be untold
  Baby, anywhere you go
  Anything you do
  Is home
  Is gold

• Take my body
  Make it holy

  As once you asked me, baby
  “How do you roll with God?“

  God?

  God is what we do now

  Baby, wrap me in your silent gold
  Let the saddest story be untold
  Baby, anywhere you go
  Anything you do
  Is home

  Baby, wrap me in your silent gold
  Let the saddest story be untold
  Baby, anywhere you go
  Anything you do
  Is home
  Is gold

5. Full Throttle Tribe

• I never signed on to this mankind
  No color, race or creed
  felt truly mine
  Never had a country or a flag
  I never had a culture, kin or kind

  I could never really belong
  Too loud
  Too wild
  Too silent or too shy
  Too everything is what defines
  my mind

  I‘ve throttled back
  I‘ve dialled myself down
  I‘m done with that
  I‘ll build myself a sun

  Will you follow me?
  Will you follow me?

  This will be my tribe, my family
  This will be my flag and nation
  This will be my creed, my legacy
  Will you follow me?

  With me, I promise you will see
  Things that your friends never get to see
  I’ll be too much
  There will be no enough
  But we’ll set flame
  to everything we touch
  I’ll take it too far and drive it too hard
  We’ll fall
  

• And find ourselves alone
  Down on red with no way to get home
  A reckless ride
  But it’ll be worthwhile
  You’ll remember it
  with longing and with pride

  So, will you follow me?

  This will be my tribe, my family
  This will be my flag and nation
  This will be my creed, my legacy
  Will you follow me?

  Out there
  People wait and cheer
  While I’m stuck here
  Behind this empty stare

  I turn the shower tap
  turn it all the way up
  to burn this hole a way
  I lost a dream today
  lost thirty years today

  This has been my tribe, my family
  This has been my flag and nation
  This has been my creed, my legacy

  Now it’s only me

  This has been my tribe, my family
  This has been my generation
  This has been my life, my legacy
  Will you follow me?

6. Reasons

  These are the reasons

  “Are you true?”
  True to me or you?

7. Angels of
Broken Things

• Sheets of spotless white
  Voices fading out
  Thoughts are growing dim
  As my longest night begins

  A dry taste of morphine
  Fluorescent lights all gleam
  I’m stuck beneath my mind
  This isn’t my night

  Fallen angels
  Spread your wings
  Take me from this
  world of broken things

  Fallen angels
  let your wings take me
  from this bed of thoughts
  and dreams
  

• even sleep is
  full of broken things

  I’m settling the score
  I have been here before
  Then I was in that door
  Just cursing the

  Fallen angels
  Spread your wings
  Fly me across the
  seas of burning things
  Pills and needles
  Tears and strings
  Fallen angels
  Save me
  from these things

  give me black
  put nothing in my dreams

8. The Taming of a Beast

• Some nights I just feel
  this need to run
  Some nights I just
  wanna burn to death
  just like the sun
  Some nights I just long to lose control
  Some nights I just wish for destiny to
  touch my soul

  It’s the feeling that it’s all
  too safe and sound
  And I need something to shake me up
  or strike me to the ground
  A storm to come
  and root me up
  and let me run
  to burn my wings or touch the sun
  So let me fly
  Just let me fall
  Just let it come

  I want to taste it all

  I want to falter and fall
  I want to run from civility
  The flags of morality
  Just go with the wild in me
  Regardless of nation
  creed or policy
  Just pulling you close to me
  Just peel off this thin skin of humanity

  Sometimes I feel
  The beast is the best in me

  It’s not that I don’t want what I have
  It’s not that I ever want
  to make anybody sad
  It’s not that I wanna hurt myself
  No
  But some things are better broken
  than left on the shelf
  It’s the hunger and the restlessness
  that call
  A sweet vertigo of lust enticing me
  to take the fall
  So lock me up
  Just chain me down

• And build a wall
  Destroy the wolf and break his crown
  Just file his claws and pull his teeth
  ‘cause when I’m free

  I’m gonna taste you all

  I’m gonna falter and fall
  I wanna give up my dignity
  Give in to iniquity
  Sleep with my enemy
  Explode like a sun
  and become pure gravity
  Just pulling you into me
  It takes everything to refill me

  Sometimes I feel
  The beast gets the best of me
  The beast gets the best of me

  And don’t think too much
  about the ones who’ll burn
  Every Icarus has had his chance to turn

  To burn
  To run
  To fail
  To fall
  To turn

  It is not for everyone
  to touch the sun
  You must let them fly
  just let the wild ones run

  Don’t waste your precious time
  praising the cold
  You will freeze to death you’ll
  grow so grey and old

  Just stay safely on the ground
  Just give me all
  I’ll give you more
  Just let me roam
  Unlock the door
  Release the beast
  Just set me free
  Cover your eyes!

9. If this is the end

• Tell me my friend
  If this is the end
  For what do we make amends?

  When all has been weighed
  Measured and paid
  All aces laid
  All prayers prayed

  I’ve hidden your knives I’ve cut down your ropes
  Flushed your pills
  To save your life

  The flowers are dead
  Petals all spread
  Over the pills
  Beside my bed

  “We had a good run
  our days in the sun
  so come what may”
  Fuck all they say
  I want to stay

  STAY

  “We had a good run
  our days in the sun
  so come what may”
  The crap they say

  STAY

• I was born in this building
  it was the first Tuesday
  I had ever seen
  and if I live to see tomorrow
  it will be my Tuesday
  number 2,119

  All has been weighed
  All measured and paid
  All aces laid
  All prayers prayed
  Stay

  God
  I asked for something of my own
  With a locked door
  I asked for something that I could control
  I asked for something cutting to the bone

  Hah – I asked for something
  cutting to my bone
  Cutting to my bone

  God!
  God!

  Something of my own

10. The Passing
Light of Day

• “Love, don’t be afraid”
  They seem to say
  “I’ll be here for you all the way

  My lover
  My best friend”

  Do you remember us
  That first January
  You had just turned nineteen
  And I was to be twenty
  We fed on politics and poetry
  Two children fueled by unbroken
  dreams

  You’re watching me slowly slip away
  Like the passing light of day
  Watching the colors turn to grey
  Like the passing light of day
  The passing light of day

  Better burn out, they say
  Than fade away
  Some candles last an hour
  And others one full day

  But I, I wanna be like the sun
  That steady flame that burns on
  and on
  And still…

  We’re watching me slowly slip away
  Like the passing light of day
  We’re watching the colors
  turning grey
  In the passing light
  A lifetime since we met
  that January
  Two young kids feeding on
  politics and poetry
  Running on dreams

• (Ending theme…)
  Empires have fallen
  Nations have been born
  The heroes of our childhood
  Dead, forgotten or gone
  But we still stand

  All those times that I went away
  All those times that I couldn’t stay
  I wish that I could give them back
  Wish that I could give them back
  All those times when I failed on you
  All those times that I turned on you
  I wish that I could take them back
  Just wish that I could take them back

  Cos all those times are still here today
  All those times they still hurt today
  All those moments return today
  All those times of “Another day”
  You’re watching me slowly slip away
  Like the passing light of day
  Watching all colors turning grey
  Like the passing light of day

  I need something new
  If I could start anew
  Would it be the same?
  I need something new
  To feel whole again
  (If I only knew)
  I will see this through
  I need something new
  Take me home again
  (If I only knew)

  All those people who worried us
  All those things that were hurting us
  None of that can reach me now
  None of that can reach me now

• All the darkness we thought about
  All those things that we fought about
  None of that can touch me now
  None of that can touch me now

  Cos all that matters is here today
  All the thoughts that I think today
  Every word that we say today
  Every second alive today

  We’re all burning out, fading away
  Like the passing light of day
  We’re all watching the colors turning grey
  In the passing light of day
  We may wish we could run
  just walk away
  From this passing light of day
  But at some point we need to stop and say
  It’s ok
  It’s ok

• “My love, don’t be afraid”
  I hear you say
  “I’ll be here for you all the way”
  And I just wish that I could smile and say
  “Baby, hey
  I’m in too much pain to feel afraid
  My lover
  My best friend”

  Lover
  Best friend

  I’m watching it slowly slip away
  Like the passing light of day
  Watching the colors turning grey
  In the passing light of day
  And although I wish
  that I could stay
  It somehow strangely feels ok
  It is what it is
  I’ll find my way
