1. THE BEAUTY OF A FALSE EXPECTATION
We were wrong all along
We were all along
I've wondered about this for so long
Tell me where exactly did I go wrong
You always thought you stood up so tall
You weren't but now I'll take the fall
It's beautiful when it's false
When all hope is lost
It's beautiful when it's a false
Expectation, yeah
So I took the virgin by her hair
I made her mine everywhere
But now she's broken - needs repaired
It's beautiful when it's false
When all hope is lost
It's beautiful when it's a false
Expectation, yeah
We watched the sun burn
Through autumn skies
Night-light in a daze, yeah
Watch as we burn in the sky
In the sky
In the sky

2. BLACK TULIPS
She's living at the brink
SHe's living at the brink
She's so sick, she's so so sick
The water that she drinks
The only kind she drinks
Shades of pink arsenic
But when she calls
Her voice so small
Though she's tall
She's bored - bored of it
Black tulips
And your faded hair
Jaded stare
You don't care
And those frightened eyes
You despise
Take your time
And though it's ill-advised
Swing your fists
Just don't miss
And never compromise
Black tulips
And never compromise
Black tulips
She's on a sinking ship
She's on a sinking ship
Watch it sink, watch her sink
She'll always have a plan
Just judging by her hand
Henna ink did the trick
She's on board
For one, one more tour
Black tulips
And your faded hair
Jaded stare
You don't care
And those frightened eyes
You despise
Take your time
And though it's ill-advised
Swing your fists
Just don't miss
And never compromise
Black tulips
You'll leave surprised
Black tulips
Oh, and never compromise
Tulips
I know the sun went down tonight
I know a son went down tonight
We went to the eve of the
The dawn that had been all right

3. MUSIC BOX
I feel down
I feel down
Well, I wish we could go
Somewhere nice
But wherever we go
Cold winds blow
I see them coming
They will make snow
I feel down
There's no one ever around
I'm unlucky
I was weird child
But, you see music boxes
All around
They don't make a single
Sound, no
There are music boxes
All around
They don't make a sound

4. GNASHING OF TEETH
Somewhere I felt a gun
"Where the fuck did this come from..!?"
I don't know but when I set it to glass
I heard the ricochet of fire to the crash
Crash - Yeah, I heard that crash
There was something about Kara that day
Bad vibes and black cats 'round her bay
I don't know where she's going
But I know it's not home
Home - No, she's not going home
I heard the gnashing of teeth
I heard them gnashing far to the East
He wore a turban in a one-man-mansion
But now his bones they float in the ocean
Oh don't cry
There are many reasons why
Don't you cry
I'd rather fly high
I saw light at the end of the tunnel
There stood a man amongst dead and rubble
Somewhere I reached for my gun
God was on my side
Side - God was on my side

5. CLOUDS DIVIDED
Silently, we wait
Can I be late?
Silently, we wait
Can I be late?
Clouds divide
It's so divine
Clouds divide
It's so divine
Divine, Divine
Violently, we wait
Can I be late?
I won't tell you
To leave it to fate
Can't you just wait
One more time?
Clouds divide
It's so divine
Clouds divide
It's so divine

6. WALKING TREE
That's all you'll be
And that's all you'll be
Even though you're dead
You'll still receive
I still believe
You need me now
You won't show somehow
When I looked up
Saw that tree
Walking over towards me
That's all you'll be
That's all you'll be
When you're looking up at me
Take a toll on your knees
Throw your name to the books
Don't forget to write hooks
The light is on red
I feel like living death
Living death
Looking out across the starry sky
I wonder when I'll die
I'm just a little speck
Looking for respect
I see only ice and darkness
Past our shells
We're far past our living death

7. SLEEPWALKER
I watched you, creeping
Sleepwalking through
Another lady's house
You crept like a clumsy mouse
Just like a mouse
You were not awake
You could not escape
The dream you're in
It's wearing thin
Sleepwalker
Oh, sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
I'm watching you
Breaking through
Stained-glass windows
Don't wake up yet
It's not worth it
Don't wake up yet
Please don't wake up
Not yet
You were not expecting this
Dreams of unwaking bliss
Just one last kiss
Keep on walking to my lips
Sleepwalker fits
Sleepwalking fits
Ball your fists
Don't fall now, miss
Sleepwalking tryst
You're ready for this

8. EDGE OF TOWN
I never could explain this need for pain
Been walking on razorblades but I can't complain
So I took the ruined road to the edge of town
Then I heard the seventh bell and the sun went down
There was a preacher-man who was there as I cried
We looked 'cross that stony field at the souls who died
That church was a build of green from the trees that leaned
It soon won't be visible - let the ivy gleam
Sometimes I think my life is swell
The sun of the east - clang of the morning bell
Well, maybe on my dying day I will say:
It was worth the pain
I never could explain this need for pain
Been walking on razorblades but I can't complain
Words of no use to me hide inside my mind
I stood at the edge of town and I said goodbye
Sometimes I think my life is Hell
The Son of the Beast - clang of the warning bell
Well, maybe on my dying day they will say:
It was worth the pain
Words of no use to me hide inside my mind
I stood at the edge of town and I said goodbye

9. THE BALLAD OF HENRY MARTIN
There were three brothers in merry Scotland
In Scotland there were brothers three
And they did cast lots to see which one would go
Would go, would go
For to turn pirate upon the salt sea
Well, the lot it fell first upon Henry Martin
The youngest of all of the three
That he should turn pirate upon the salt sea
Salt sea, Salt sea
For to maintain his three brothers and he
Sail now, Henry
You know, you shouldn't be so glum
The Spanish Armada awaits, but don't wait
Be free, my friend
And you won't face death alone
Bad news, bad news to Scotland had come
Bad news to dear London Town
When Henry Martin's vessel was cast away
Away, Away
And all of her merry men drowned in that way
