Silverstein : Transitions

Lyrics


1. SACRIFICE

It's so familiar to me;
A gun in your hand, a hole in my chest,
and now you strike a match and inhale.
It's now to the point where it's all so routine,
The anchor's up, your ship has been sailed.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions. I'm your sacrifice.

Dressing yourself up to kill;
You do this for peace, you do this for love,
but you know there has to be loss.
Lives torn apart as you've hit your mark.
You'll take your share at anyone's cost.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.

The metal is cold to lift and to hold,
but now my heart feels the warm undertow.
I cannot breathe. The way I feel about you suffocates.
I will not speak. The words I feel about you go to waste.
I will lay here until my body washes up on shore.
I'll sacrifice with everything I believed in before.
I'll get back up and do it again.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.


2. DARLING HARBOUR

In the lighthouse by the sea, at the 33rd degree.
You make me feel so special and free.
But there's something in the air turning stutters into stairs.
I look into your blue eyes and say...

(Darling) Don't throw it all away.
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me.

In the sun I look so pale, northern skin so thin and frail.
But I try to close my eyes, when everything starts fading.
When I wake up from this dream shivering under cold sheets.
Ten thousand mile away, I wish I was on King street.

(Darling) Don't throw it all away.
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me.

Newly risen how brightly you shine.
Something seems to give inside my heart when you're nearby.
All I've given to you is faking eyes.
I don't understand, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it.

On a park bench by the street, at the 43rd degree.
I'll sit and watch the snow fall and think...

If these walls could tell the tale and excuse to no avail.
Will you ever begin to forgive me again, to forgive me now.

(Darling) Don't throw it all away.
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me.
Stay with me.


3. DANCING ON MY GRAVE

GO!

Stop pretending that you're better, you're as guilty as all the rest.
You're planning shelter from this division, a ruined cities aftermath.
Some people call it tragedy, I call it moving on.
I never asked for you to care, I never wanted the things you've got.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

It's so pathetic you care so much, about what other people think.
Practice all your lies in the mirror, for every possible line you face.
So when you push me down the well, will you even call for help?
You'll tell everyone you know, you tried to rescue me yourself.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

You disgust yourself, you believe in nothing.
You'll deny yourself, every happy ending.

It's in your head you'll discover. You're not as consequential as the rest.
In your hand you'll recover, a notice of the truth.
You! Failed! You failed me.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.


4. REPLACE YOU (ACOUSTIC)

I'm the setting sun behind the trees, the saddest one you've seen.
I've been burning holes and breaking dreams, and I regret it.
I'm fixing things I've broken, it's not as easy as it used to be.
I'm throwing temper tantrums. I used to settle, but now I make a scene.

You can't believe...

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

You're the swirling wind above the sea, the maddest storm they've seen.
Now you're breaking waves and smashing dreams, and you can't help it.
You're drowning streets and stranding a million people, you're starting out with me.
You're crashing down from anger, your stuff is settled and now you're sound asleep.

And so serene...

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

And when the sun is down and when the skies are calm you'll see, calm will be.
We'll wait for the cycle, we'll repeat our same mistakes. Same mistakes we've always made.

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

I said I'd never walk away...


5. WISH (NINE INCH NAILS COVER)

This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now I take it apart
Climbed up real high now fall down real far
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away
I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I'm the one without a soul I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I want to but I can't turn back
