Thresh!
What doesn’t kill you
Welcome to the Threshing Floor
This house of moth and rust
The battleground inside your mind
When your whole world’s turned to dust
Take a good look inside yourself
You’re all you need to survive
You gotta
Feel the love
Feel the pain, the despair
and the fear of feeling nothing at all
Feel the love
Feel the fire (steel) in your eyes
as you rise from the Threshing Floor
What doesn’t kill you
So come on down to the swirling pit
Surrender to the fall
The perfect place to find yourself
Is the loneliest of all
The full human experience
Have you ever felt so alive?
Can you
Wheat. Chaff. Thresh!
Can’t go over it
Can’t go under it
Can’t go ‘round it
You gotta go through this
You’re gonna get through this

Ride out the wave, Cellophane
Remember the day
You came with your song and dance
A brilliant mind in flat front pants
And winning smile
Behold the golden boy
The big talk and best laid plans
No one could’a stood a chance against
That silver tongue
Had everybody fooled
I see right, I see right
I see right through
Ride out the wave, Cellophane
Front up and settle what you started
Waiting to see you see it through
Cos I see right through you
Ride out the wave
Remember the night
I met you in the parking lot
Thought I made it clear, I guess you forgot
What you’re messing with
That explains the vacant stare
So step up, don’t take too long
I truly hope you prove me wrong
And you’ll understand
If I don’t hold my breath
Ride out the wave, Cellophane
It’s right here so why don’t you come and take it
Waiting to see you see it through
But I see right through
Bridge
You and your tight woven stories
The white knight and fairytale prince
The oddly fortuitous timing
And I don't believe in coincidence
Can't imagine the pressure you're under
as the threads start to slowly unwind
If you're gonna steal somebody's thunder
best make sure you blow everyone's mind
Especially mine
Fake it till you make it
Put up or shut up
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave

You're on Your Own

Oh Whoops!
Hey take it easy. You’re goin crazy
They call you mister sleazy
That’s the last damn time that ya drag me down
Owing nothing. Not a fuzzy feeling
As entertaining as it’s been
If you’re gonna make a scene
We’ll be over here watchin ya drown
I can’t go back now
The time we spent it’s all blown away
That final slice of humble pie
Will be the best you’ve ever eaten
Time’s up son and now you’re on your own
So take it easy. Slow and greasy
And maybe you’ll see
The truth by the light of you’re bridges afire
All for the money. Shoulda seen it coming
From a mile away, now take your feet of clay
And walk on.
How’s it feel?
Can you feel it?
Am I in your head?
Feel this!
Now you’re on your own.

Pariah (Better this Way)
05:03
|
|||
|
With a knowing smile I proffer my farewell, yeah
Tainted with the blame and disgrace in the place of the real rogue
Resolute and striding into the storm
Let the rain fall down
And wash me away
Trust me it's better this way
Gotta leave this town, Pariah
Trust me it's better this way
And the mirror may end up my only friend, again
Old crones picking over the bones of the free man
And banishing the faithful failing ghost within my mind
Fall on the bomb. Bring it on. Bring it on.
Let me take the pain and the fear and the stain of betrayal
I said, “burn a little piece of me, the peace of me
To keep a little piece of you alive”
They could never possibly understand
Let the rain fall down
And wash me away
Trust me it's better this way
Gotta leave this town, Pariah
Trust me it's better this way
Trust me

Someone
04:36

Walking home alone
In the light night rain
A little buzzed from the brandy
Already forgetting her name
Check my phone one more time
Tell myself it peace of mind
Haven’t heard from you in a while
Hope that you’re doin alright
I know that someone will find me
Somebody faithful and true
When this old crazy world comes crashing down around me
I know that someone is you
So much history
So many question marks
Sometimes I think it’d be nice
If we could go back to the start
Now I’m wide awake, it’s 3am
Had that stupid dream again
The one where I can never get the words out
To tell you you’re more than a friend
Morning sun finds a crack
Hits my face and drags me back, to reality
Gotta face the day alone now
But I’ll never forget what you said:

Days of Letting Go
05:17
|
|||
|
Like a mile of driftwood strewn
Along a lonely shore
A chronicle of blackened wounds
Memories earned in the days that came before
When you’ve been fighting for so long
Just holding on
Days to love and days for hating
The seasons roll on by
There is a time for all things under the sun
Everything is beautiful in its time
Cease your striving. Dry your cheeks and cry no more
Lift your head and feel the sun upon your face
These are the days of letting go
Like the actor on the stage
A tragicomedy
There’s a time to mourn the dying
And a time to laugh and to dance and to sing
And you know there surely comes a day
For walking away

Girlfriend
03:28

I think the time is long overdue
We had a heart to heart
So please relax on my comfy couch
And let's take it from the start
Tell me all about your daddy
And how he smacked you one too many times
And how your mama didn't hug you enough
It must've made you lose your mind, but
I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
And how she made it with me
[Ain't it weird what makes us happy
Find the beat and let your feet fly fatty]
I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
Don't wanna hear about it
Tell me about your birthday
The one where no one came
Or that time that Aunt Sue forgot
To collect you off the train
And tell me all about your school days
and how the bullies stole your tuckshop cash
I wanna be a sympathetic ear
There's one little catch
Don't wanna hear about it
Pretty sure it's all in your head
Don't wanna hear about it
Pretty sure it's all in your head
Don't wanna
I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
And how she made it with me
[Ain't it weird what makes us happy
Find the beat and let your feet fly fatty]
I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
And how she made it with me
[Ain't it weird what we find funny
Robbed your hive, got caught in your honey]
I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
Don’t wanna hear about it. No sir

Watch the World Burn
03:31
|
|||
|
Wink at your own reflection
Believe your own bitter lies
People claiming rights to all the things they didn't earn
First class tickets. Destination: The point of no return
Don't care that they hate themself, that's none of my concern
I'm just gonna sit up on the roof and watch the world burn
The most fabulous victim
Give that lady a prize
All the choices in the world and helpless to discern
But I'm not gonna waste my breath. Nobody wants to learn
You can have my place in line man. I don't want a turn
I'm just gonna sit up on the roof and watch the world burn
Pride before destruction
Conceit before the fall
Be careful then for what you wish, the meed for which you yearn
The wisdom of a thousand years you seek to overturn
Whilst parroting the Logos of the very gods you spurn
I'm just gonna sit up on the roof and watch the world burn.

Unbroken

I’m writing this letter my love to say how I feel
To beg your forgiveness
Though I can’t find the words
The pain and this sadness unreal
As I battle the fire inside
Smoke filling my lungs and blinding my sight
I struggle each day to laugh and to play
I’m sleepless most every night
Don’t want you to know. Don’t want you to see
How hollow I feel. The horrors I’ve seen
I’d run through the fire and swim through the flood
to serve & protect you but it’s never enough
So i sit here alone. I cry here alone
Unbroken me
VERSE 2:
Black dog howls in the night. I feel so alone
The darkness surrounds me
My heart won’t stop pounding
The sirens are etched in my soul
I remember it just like yesterday
The smell of the trees on the breeze gently sway
The most beautiful sky then the fear in her eyes
Just another life taken away
No one can know. No one can see
How hollow i feel. What’s happened to me
It breaks me inside to see and to know
The look in their eyes and the peace as they go
Now i sit here alone. I cry here alone
Please someone save me
No one can know. No one should see
How hollow I feel. What’s happened to me
If I can save one then I should save em all
But I can’t save myself. I’m losing this war
As I sit here alone. I die here alone.
Life’s broken me

Bleeding Heart
03:52
|

|
Gnaw at the bars that confine me. Define me
Making me yours. Contemporary slavery
Holocaust
Know better, do better
Freezing. Falling. Suffering
Bleeding. Bawling. Lost along the way
The road you take is the world you make
A plea for the innocent, voiceless we cry
Bless your bleeding heart
Look in my eyes. See sentience. See yourself
One of a kind. I love you. I trusted you
What the actual fuck
Know better, do better

Crystal Clear
04:27
|

Call me a fool and unrefined
But you know you didn’t bring me here
For the hundredth time
To tell you what your itching ears
Wanna hear
Wanna fight with the man that feeds ya
But no one believes ya
And so it goes
Exactly as it did before
And the rift it grows
It’s the crack at your feet that you can’t ignore
Any more
Sit tight though the crows may gather
It doesn’t matter
The failsafe wasted
All the while a chorus of a million voices
Rings out in the night
It’s crystal clear
Let’s get this straight, I’m not your friend
I’m not your chew toy bitch so spit me out
Not a passing trend
I’m the one that your mother warned you about
Not a doubt
Better keep your hands off my family
Some life lessons can be cruel
Back to the wall
Impossible to navigate
As the curtains fall
I’d abide but your party runs too late
Gotta skate
But I wanna say thanks for listening
Now watch me bring this thing home
The jaded faithless
All the while the chorus of a million voices
Rings out in the night
And can it be
The ageless scene
Of a mother and her children playing
Safe beneath the wings
It’s crystal clear
Tears of a clown are sure to turn your green eyes blue
Just another case where the exception proves the rule
I’m going home
