1. LINOLEUM

She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come what may
And when the corners on this bay, they held on 'til today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her of every grain
To stay in control

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
You're bottled up and stored

She's won every war
And when she's out that door
She will push ahead of you
Frowning at the poor
She would move so fast not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line
To smile at those she passed

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
You're bottled up.. And stored

And sometimes
Ooh, just sometimes
That's really all it takes
A hand on your shoulder
Then she breaks

(Sometimes that's really all it takes)
Yes then
(A word of kindness and she breaks)
She breaks
(And then the sum of damage done)
Well she breaks
(Is out on stained linoleum)
She breaks

(Sometimes that's really all it takes)
She breaks
(A gentle touch and then she breaks)
She breaks
(to see the sum of damage done)
She breaks
(In this linoleum)
Oh, she breaks

(Sometimes that's really all it takes)
Oh, she breaks
(A word, a touch and then we break)
Ooh, she breaks
(And all this world's linoleum)
She breaks
(Can hold the sum of damage done)
Done
Done
Done
Done

Itsy bitsy Spider
Climbed the water spout
(She's becoming her last casualty)
Down came the rain
And it wash the spider out
(If she weeps then at last she'll be free)

Now she stays on the ground
So she'll never fall
See she would rather drown
Than lose control


2. MORTAR GRIND

Emily is sad
Emily is sad
Emily is sad
She used to be glad
Now Emily's been had
Emily's been had
Emily's been had
She might never be glad

Oh, but there is something deep inside her
Oh, if we could only see inside her

Now she's mine, all broken inside
A product of your fire
Mortar grind
Every crime is seeping inside
Until they're all mine
Burn it away

Jenny used to smile
Jenny used to smile
Jenny used to smile
Now she'll only hide
Jenny's in denial
Jenny's in denial
Jenny's in denial
She might never smile

Oh, but there is something deep inside her
Oh, I know 'cause I have been inside her

Now she's mine, all broken inside
A product of your fire
Mortar grind
Every crime is seeping inside
Until they're all mine
Burn it away
Burn it away

I used to be mine
I used to be mine
I used to be mine
Now I'm feeling blind
Enter deep inside
Enter deep inside
Enter deep inside
This mortar grind

Now it's mine, all broken inside
A product of your fire
Mortar grind
(Burn it away)
All this vile
Something ain't right
I keep deep inside
(Oh) burn it away
Burn it away
Oh, Burn it away
Burn it away


3. IF YOU WAIT

If you wait
If I could ask you to wait
I'll get back, somehow
To you

If I could ask you to wait
I will pray myself
Home to you

I walk on this road
Through mud, through grass, through dust, through rain
Whatever remains

Running away
[...]
I'll be with you
Home to you
If you wait
If I can ask you to wait
I can't ask you to wait

Though it breaks me
Go
I must ask you to go
Go
I must ask you to go
So
I must ask you to go


4. GONE

You are all defining me
Like you know me inside out
If I let it get to me
You'll damage me beyond repair

I have always done my best
To block it out and keep myself
But lately it has been so hard
And I don't know where I end and you start

These are the words that I have bled
These are the tears that I have shed
These are the bleak roads that I tread
This is the hope which they led

Can you hear me now?
Can you see me now?
Can you touch me now?

Deep inside I'm gone
Deep inside I'm gone
Deep inside I'm gone
Deep inside I'm gone

And I have given more than most
I fucking overdosed on honesty
But then, when I've given everything
Then what will there be left of me?

And who'll stand by this troubled man
With a burning mind and a fever inside?
See, if I cannot direct this flame
It might just burn everything in it's way

These are the words that I have bled
These are the tears that I have shed
These are the bleak roads that I tread
This is the hope which they led

Can you hear me now?
Can you see me now?
Can you touch me now?

Deep inside I'm gone
Deep inside I'm gone
Deep inside I'm gone
Deep inside I'm gone

I just never seem to be enough
Here are too many mouths to feed
Too many reached out hands to hold
Too many broken hearts to heal
And in the end, I'll spread too thin
And gently overbleed
Sadly overestimate
The amount of me

I'll let you crawl into my head
I'll let you crawl under my skin
I'll let you taste every tear I've shed
I'm always letting you right in

So crawl over the words I've bled
I'm not really there
Undress and crawl into my bed
I'm not really there
I'm gone
Oh yeah
You see, deep inside I'm gone

6. YELLOW RAVEN

Yellow raven sipped the air
Of thunder and of rain
Yellow raven sipped the air
Gentle eyes kissing the rain

Where do you go fantastic dreambird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here
Where do you go fantastic dreambird?
Take me away somewhere
Take me away from here

Oh, take me away

The thunderbird began to cry
The music died away
The thunder bird began to cry
And smoke was slowly drifting by

Where do you go fantastic dreambird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here
Where do you go fantastic dreambird?
Take me away somewhere
Take me away from here

Yellow raven your heart's flying
But your love is killing me...
