LYRICS
Little girls and boys play in empty homes.
Keys on silver chains, grown up games on the estate.
Little squares of hope keep them coming back.
Daddy's packed and gone, left his fawn all alone, and he's gone.
Big behind a desk, family after dark.
Children of your own, my how you've grown up, all alone, and he's gone.
And it's gone. It's all gone.

Chosen Few

LYRICS
You woke up in the evening, and the light had changed.
You open out the door, picked yourself up off the floor.
You soaked the blood 'til soft, then watched it raining.
You wrapped what's left in cloth, put it back in babies cot.
It's a dream come true, put aside for a chosen few, like you.
You know they'll come for you you, and your life will have ended.
But it's better than your wedding night, when your dress was far too tight.
t's a dream come true, put aside for a chosen few, just like you.
Chosen Few.

Mercy Plus One

If you ask him he'll say 'its good like this you know. I don't owe anything to anyone, anyone but me, you'll see'
Just a simple game you always tend to play.
Now you're trapped inside, finding rules that take you away, to stay.
Lonely stories are far too common. Gotta get on, before they get to you.
If you ask her she'll have nothing, nothing left to say.
just some harsh words and a few tears, tears she wished had dried. you'd tried.
Your heart bleeds, Mercy plus One
Your hope needs, Mercy plus One
Your hope feeds, Mercy plus One
Your despair breeds, Mercy plus One
You can't make dates with her, she's busy, all the time i know.

LYRICS
You hold on. You'd hoped for more.
You hold tight. Your past has gone awry.
Unleash the mare, and ride like a man, now.
You ran wild. Your past's with someone else now.
Unleash the mare, and ride like a man, now.

Amongst Fresh Violence

LYRICS
stay i heard you say. your name sounded plain.
All the walls got me running to the outside. It's a wish, its like nothing at all.
Hate, we hate the same. The taste so dry and frail. And decay, its pushing me from the inside. Last look, and everything's gone.
Amongst fresh violence she seems to hear to some news
Amongst fresh violence she hides her bitter views
Amongst fresh violence she starts to feel used
Amongst fresh violence she'll choose opposing views.
you wait, the air is strange. It's so late for all this now.
But we touch, and we're holding on. Just a breath, and everything's gone.
Amongst fresh violence she seems to hear to some news
Amongst fresh violence she hides her bitter views
Amongst fresh violence she starts to feel used
Amongst fresh violence she'll choose opposing views.
Amongst fresh violence

LYRICS
Start with a small dose, they'll wean her on. Help find a light in her darkened mind. It will make her open, sharing and giving.
Then it's too late cause the words are out.
She's doing well they'll say, better than can be expected. Miracles of modern pharmacy.
Soon as he left her its not been the same. But she gets up most mornings and the dose is small. Remember the number on a government card.
The database smiles as her pupils dilate.
She's doing well they'll say, better than can be expected. Miracles of modern pharmacy.

Little Thing

LYRICS
It's a little, a little, little thing. Such a little, a little, little thing.
But it grows, it grows and won't come back.
And it shows, it shows the rot and the black.
It starts small, but becomes the hugest thing.
Like a stone it rolls, and starts to sing.
On its own, it's bigger than you and I.
A weighty fight, that won't let us deny.
First ignore it, like it will go away.
And it creeps, creeps back and its here to stay.
And if you try, try to make it disappear
The damage is done and you'll always fear it near
It's a dream, and dreams come real it seems
In your eyes i see your fear and screams.

No Song For You

LYRICS
Loads of happy times, I’m silent
Simple things and peace, just quiet
All the things I thought to say, they all fade, they all fade away.
But I hope your memory’s good.
Slowly winding down, you’re there now
Take a trust that’s strange, you’re free now
All the things I thought to say, they all fade, they all fade away
She cant write a song for you.
No she cant write a song for you
So I hope you’re memory’ good.
Things we swore against, we do now
Touch that’s only them, they know now.
All the things they thought to say, well they all fade away.

Oblivion

LYRICS
You try yourselves out at night, Reflecting off the fauna
The sadness you keep inside, the young wine wont let you hide
And everything goes to Hell
Sensitive to the bone, Got a smile that can open the world
The warmth between your hands is all you want to feel
Out of you or out of her
And you laughed out loud together Finding company in despair
The lonely nights of waiting are over
Left alone in the car, forgetting where you are
Take yourself away.
You study wood and wire, Hoping it will take you away
To a wild adventure world full of something new and something good that will let you love again
You share the same delusions, but now you’ve talked too much
She laughed when you asked for help Now shes going away,
you should have had her tonight
You laughed out loud together,
You can hardly believe its true, a woman more bastatd that you are
Now she’s alone in the car, hot lonely and far
Sending messages into oblivion.
