Welcome to the lonesome world of Abel
Where every brother's knife is set to slay you
And paranoia keeps you healthy
Crooked deals can keep you wealthy
Serum vials to help you when you're sad
Every other face is bent and broken
Wrap your teeth around the only game in town
Made you clothes from insulation
Break your day for pay and ration
Hide
Hide
Hide...
Killed by an angel
Lost inside amazing colors
It's never how you feel
It comes in a bottle
Let's say you found a gun;
How would your bad side burn?
It's never how you feel
It comes in a bottle
Relax and all these whores will lick the membrane
Just a touch, a stain, a hole in your brain
It's cold when you remove the nails
Beg for more when all else fails
Serum vials to help you when you're sad
Killed by an angel
Lost inside amazing colors
It's never how you feel
It comes in a bottle
Let's say you found a gun;
How would your bad side burn?
It's never how you feel
It comes in a bottle
The way the sea reflects the sun
Long gone
And all the miracles of love
Long gone
You hold your heart out in your hand
One last long sigh gone
One last long sigh gone...
When you see the sores you can't believe them
Pathogenic lovers in a basement cell
Dirty white sheets cut up in strips
Cracks in the mirror and your mind slips
Serum vials to help you when you're sad
Killed by an angel
Lost inside amazing colors
It's never how you feel
It comes in a bottle
Let's say you found a gun;
How would your bad side burn?
It's never how you feel
It comes in a bottle
Killed by an angel
Killed by an angel...

and it's strange
how we're wasting our lives
novocane
when the pain helps us rise
here we stay
though it's only a clever game
running from our lives
and we linger on...
but if we try to lift up our eyes
replacing the lies
we own this moment
everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
the truth will not be denied
everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
the truth will not be denied
and it's strange
how we're selling our time and we wait
we are lost in a clever game
running from our lives
and they lead us on
but if we try to lift up our eyes
replacing the lies
we own this moment
everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
the truth will not be denied
everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
the truth will not be denied
everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
the truth will not be denied
everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
the truth will not be denied

All games they play
Undead and awake and returning within
You are a devil, they say
and its candy
how long I've known
this seed burst and grown
You're the one that I love
You are the one that I trust,
and its candy
When they speak of the open door
and the way you've flown, its fine
When they show me the evidence
and theyre talking down your memory
Nevermind the words they waste
They can't see you're mine
Waiting here until words run out
Dreaming of the day when you
open your arms in the light of our love
All games they play
Undead and awake and returning within
You are a devil they say
and its candy
how long I've known
this seed burst and grown
You're the one that I love
You are the one that I trust,
and its candy
When they speak of the open door
and the way you've flown, its fine
When they show me the evidence
and they're talking down your memory
Nevermind the words they waste
They can't see you're mine
Waiting here until words run out
Dreaming of the day when you
open your arms in the light of our love
When they speak of the open door
and the way you've flown, its fine
When they show me the evidence
and they're talking down your memory
Nevermind the words they waste
They can't see youre mine
Waiting here until words run out
Dreaming of the day when you
open your arms in the light of our love

Of course
We're miles away from home
We sink like stones
And we're lost beneath the waves
Not a trace to mark the graves
Lost and tired
And chained
Of course
We plan the great escape
We drag our fate around the razor wire
But our fear keeps us in line
Turn me inside out this time
Looking back the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face
To the place where I go into the sun
Disappear into the sun
Lost and tired
And chained
I know
What sleeps inside my heart
There's a path that starts
With a single step at dawn
Though the road goes on and on
Turn me inside out this time
Looking back the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face
To the place where I go into the sun
Disappear into the sun
Turn me inside out this time
Looking back the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face
To the place where I go into the sun
Disappear into the sun
(Deep inside a song a thousand miles away)
(Every moment the start of a greater day)
(Running to a field a world we'll find)
And now
The time has come for me
I must break free
From the prison I have made
And to face the way ahead
Turn me inside out this time
Looking back the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face
To the place where I go into the sun
Disappear into the sun
Disappear into the sun
Disappear into the sun

Wilted flower seem strange to you
With all this poison at the roots?
Shut away from love and light
And you wonder why its screaming...
Old enough to abuse me
But all too cheap to amuse me
We stand at the marketplace
With cold September eyes on the hungry people
We passed the interrogation
Signed our names at the bottom of the
government paper
Calling memories out of mind
Pictures writhing deep inside
And once you've seen it's hard to hide
You wonder why you're screaming
Strong enough not to fear me
But all too loud now to hear me
We stand at the marketplace
With cold September eyes on the hungry people
We passed the interrogation
Signed our names at the bottom of the
government paper
[Jeremy sings through some sort of effect. The only thing I understand is "standing outside"]
This winter time
To waste your life
You reign you die
You wait you cry
This time in the light
A small flame in the night
You come you bend you burn
You burn you burn ...
Sick enough to infect me
But too far gone to protect me
[With courage we all fall down, When the tassel hits the ground] **
We stand at the marketplace
With cold September eyes on the hungry people
We passed the interrogation
Signed our names at the bottom of the
government paper

All around
I see you're under my skin
Cruel to say
I've known the best of my life
Never again to hear
The rivers' song so clear
Everyday's another scene
The world around and everything for you
An open door a cauldron of
Waves rush in through every house for all
So they say another lie:
'Love's a rumor
But love will die'
We're lost and wandering
Deep in the ocean
There lies a wave for you
When you hit the ground
It's hard to speak
But its who you are
A shining star
Go
Tell the millions begin!
We'll run through the fields
The turning of wheels
Down with the buildings
Worlds on your shoulders
Climb through the wasteland
Wait for the sky to remind you
These things are true
Everyday's another scene
The world around and everything for you
An open door a cauldron of
Waves rush in through every house for all
So they say another lie:
'Love's a rumor
But love will die'
We're lost and wandering
Deep in the ocean
There lies a wave for you
Whenyou hit the ground
It's hard to speak
But its who you are
A shining star
Go
Tell the millions begin!
We'll run through the fields
The turning of wheels
Down with the buildings
Worlds on your shoulders
Climb through the wasteland
Wait for the sky to remind you
These things are true
About the day

Me and the fool in the photograph
A soul many times revealed
The scars only have concealed
I wonder how many days I'll bleed
With the words I refuse to form
Now I will be free
But lately I refuse you
With these arms I will break through you
Wait only to see you far removed
No more the fool in the photograph
That night chained in your embrace
Day dawned and I saw your face
I wonder how many days I'll bleed
With the words I begin to form:
Now I will be free
Lately I refuse you
With these arms I will break through you
Wait only to see you far removed
Wasting time you tell the story still
Made your mind you're chasing the moon
Making scars among the glory
Still you're pulling down
Wasting time you tell the story
Some kind of magic
I've waited here all too long...

tearing in my heart when the world falls apart
and it's almost too hard
tearing in your mind, how the pain makes you blind
when it's all said and done
tearing in my heart, a mistake from the start
and it's almost too hard
tarry in my mind, i'll repay you another time
when it's all said and done
tearing in your bones when the road left you alone
and it's almost too hard
tarry in my soul and you help make me whole
when it's all said and done
tearing in my heart when the world falls apart
and it's almost too hard
tarry in my soul and you help make me whole
when it's all said and done
. . .

she's always around and under my skin
watching her move
how she tells a story
it's only a dream of lovers and lies
she's cruel and she's free like television
she's in my head, like television...
we fall into bed
our tongues are tied
her lips and her eyes are so disarming
and when we embrace, she pulls me inside
I wake up alone with television
crawl around the story
oh, how her waves wash over me
lost inside her story
she shows me the world
i see through her eyes the beauty of brave new understanding
it's only a dream of lovers and lies
i carry with me in all my vision
she's always around and under my skin
she's always around and under my skin
watching her move
how she tells a story
it's only a dream of lovers and lies
she's cruel and she's free like television...
crawl around the story
oh, how the waves wash over me
lost inside her story
she's in my head, like television
like television

These fears come rushing in when i enter here
Another layer on my back
A blazing fire where our glances meet
The largest feeling towering over me
Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
I long to take you a secret place
Where we could lay aside our past
We'd throw the world away with all it's pain
To shine like stars through storm and clouds and
rain
Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
(Cold faces in disguise)
(Not a trace of desire)
Go face the day
Go and see new things
Go face the day
But you'll remember me...
I see a tear inside when you're turned away
Another wound that i'd take back
If i could fill your heart just once and then
I'd take you now where we could live again
Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
(Cold faces in disguise)
(Not a trace of desire)
Go face the day
Go and see new things
Go face the day
But you'll remember me...
Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
(cold faces in disguise)
(not a trace of desire)

Color your skin with gold and the violence remains
Cover your eyes with rose but the stain remains
Will you escape your life with all the walls you build?
Smother your will and lead you into fasion...
Morning comes in the dream before we rise
When we linger side by side
It's my heart that speaks this time:
We will ride the rising tide
Color your skin with gold and the violence remains
Cover your eyes with rose but the stain remains
Will you repair your life with all the holes you fill?
Smother your will and drain you of your passion
Morning comes in the dream before we rise
When we linger side by side
It's my heart that speaks this time:
We will ride the rising tide
Color your skin with gold and the violence remains
Cover your eyes with rose but the stain remains
Will you defend your life and all the hope you feel?
Or smother your will and lead you into fasion...
Morning comes in the dream before we rise
When we linger side by side
It's my heart that speaks this time:
We will ride the rising tide
(...outside)
