Live At The Siren | Lyrics
(Hess / Lesperance)
I didn't know I'd be worse off in the end
Then I ever thought I could be before
I can't do without what I thought I couldn't live with
I didn't realize it till you were gone
Now you can't find a reason
Not to throw it all away
I'm pleading all the words that
I thought I'd never say
Love Me
Now the tables finally turning
On me and my little world
Love Me
And the weight your tired of holding
Won't be heavy anymore
I can't let it go I prefer my heart pretending
I wanna believe time could change it all
But gone with the leaves like a ghost of all the seasons past
How could our endless fire feel so cold
I don't care why your leaving
The words mean all the same
You left me to lie bleeding
And turned your back away
New Religion (Studio bonus track)
(Hess / Lesperance)
Apologize for stupid old mistakes
Your only vice disappears without a trace
Your mystified
You can't relate
Your on your knees to follow the new faith
I'm starting my own religion
Demi Gods
They'll be none
After all demons fall we'll be done
Sink your teeth into the golden prey
You won't believe the souls we saved today
You won the prize
It's no debate
Your on your knees to follow the new faith
Believe (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
When all love is gone and destiny's wronged
The premise of all our lives
You can't find your way
Out of this foreign abyss
To change the tides
Drowning in heartache
What feels like forever
When judgement will come
To temples I'll run for solace beyond our eyes
Now God thread the bait
Shackled and harnessed in faith
The stains have dried
Desperate and blindly
We trudge on forever
But I won't let you
You have to believe
The soul and the will live on
When all is gone
Your faith pulls you through
Don't wait for the moment
When time leaves no chances
Don't hold on to find out
Your tomorrows were sold out to
Save me from harm
Saviors Never Cry (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
You say that I'm lost
You got the word that I'm going down
Yea, it may be true
It's like twenty-four tons of hard hitting headache
When you realize that you're coming unglued
I've sown and you've sown the seeds of youth
Time won't and I don't conceal the truth
So get up and fly away
Or forever be in doubt
You know, Saviours never cry
You're hot on the heels of hope and love
Dreams can never die
Tear down the walls you hide behind
There's just one thing in your life
That you gotta do
You wanna break on through
Don't be kind to the core
Easy to ignore
If your lips never move
You're bound to lose the war
I know and you know
There's no use
Trying to hold back the years
Making a career out of hiding the truth
A new day is born
You need to wake the dying
The hand that it's in is yours
Die Off Hard (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
Remeber the lost summer nights
We never found a warmer breeze
If we're lost in time
I'm stayin' here and never gonna leave
I remember the look in your eyes
Is it something that I'll never see again
We're gonna make it right
'Cos I'm not searching till the bitter end
It's been a long time coming
I'm tired of failing you
It's been a long time coming
It's time to face the truth
They're old habits that
Die Off Hard
Invading our love
It keeps growing stronger
Die Off Hard
Now pain won't let go
It keeps growing stronger in us
Through the years I find
Nothing's straight it's just another haze
So unless we try to fight a dawning
Of a graceless age
We'll encompass a life destined to the cold beliefs we had
We're gonna make it right
I won't live a life I never wanted to lead
Morning Grey (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
Anyway that I could reach you
I'm justified to do
Anyway that I'll convince you
A cold desire looms
Take a bus, buy a ticket, find a mission
Try to leave the pain
Taking tracks from the needles
Never leads the way
Run, in emotional fields you lay
Run, devour and seize the day
Come down from your ivory hilltop
Enough of your morning grey
Bitter ways they follow beside you
And crawl inside your tomb
And when you think it's all behind you
The more it decides to bloom
Old desires, both feet in the fire
Do you feel the shame
Your mind is slightly polluted
'Cos you need a change
I don't wanna leave this sphere is home
I worship/believe in miracles
The dying hope there's love inside the rage
'Cos no one ever knows how long we have to stay
'Cos no one ever knows the calm of morning grey
Staying Away (Live)
(Hess)
Well I've been abused I'm alone
I've seen hell like you've never known
You know I'm living in fear
Of falling into love
Your thinking days it's been years
That's how long I've been crying these tears but no more
All the many nights I wanted
You to be with me
Now all I remember is that you said you'd never leave
I've opened my eyes I'm ready to see
Everything that's ahead of me
You know I'm staying away from this feeling you call love
I'm confused I don't know where can I turn or where can I go
You know I'm trying to keep myself from losing you
(Hess)
I stand before you accused of many crimes
But I want to believe that love can still survive
You don't have to say it, I don't have to read your mind
To know that emptiness has finally arrived
How was I to know right from wrong
Words were hardly spoken, so where did I go wrong
Tell me honestly, if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes honestly
Words have more meaning, if they're said at certain times
I need you now so I can feel alive
How would you know if you won't give me some time
To see if everything could work you'll be mine
I'll be lost forever or someday I may find
The words that I've been searching for or just some peace of mind
Chorus
All the nights I sit and wonder there must be more life
I'm sure that days and years go by while
I am living with, living with a lonely feeling
Baby With A Nail Gun (Live)
(Lesperance)
Instrumental
» topCages (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
Life impure has challenged your will from the start
Minds and human nature irreparably marred
Lies have fueled the fountain of leaking regard
Blind and cruel through the fear and the doubt
Faith is leading us out of our
Cages
Rebelling the human ruin
In stages
Indifference consuming you
For a violent new moon
Pride and truth can carry the flesh through the hard times
Can you a nation of cancerous clots
Bind into people emphatically charmed
Tried and true
Through the fear and the doubt
Faith is bringing us out of our
Cages
Rebelling the human ruin
In stages
Indifference consuming you
Some pages of life still eluding you
Contagious
Indifference consuming you
For a violent new moon
Life impure has challenged your will from the start
Minds and human nature irreparably marred
The crowning jewel that jealously feeds from the heart
Writhe and brute
A dynasty falls so divided we crawl into our
Rain (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
I feared the notion
I'd fall at your feet
And pour out my heart
And you'll leave forever
Severe emotions and dark memories
They all end the same
A nosedive endeavor
But angels did fly
And flooded boats sailed
To rescue my heart and pull out every nail
Things don't seem right
Since I've fallen
I'm falling like rain
For everything about you
I find myself chained
Thinking I'm coming loose
It's everything about you
A deep devotion has washed on our sands
Took hold of our hands
And guides us forever
Holy water that some of us brave
They're poetic slaves
Drowned by their conscience
Angels did fly
The loneliness fails
To capture my heart and push in every nail
Things turn out right since I've fallen
Karma Cleansing (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
Come and be true
And purify all that is you
The soul can re-group
Ascending to higher love
Hailed by God
Failed by you
Nailed by everything you do
Saved by God
Failed by you
De-railed by catatonic blinded youth
All that we do
Is repeat like some prophetic fool
And walk in lead shoes
Complacent and morally screwed
We want change
And feel the karma cleansing
Feel so sane in the throes of madness
Surrender (Live)
(Rick Nielsen)
Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Away.
Away.
Repeat Chorus 7x
» topChange Comes Around (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)
This is my rollercoaster
I ride it everyday
It's a mirror of my emotions
I want to wish it all away
News flash of the century
Story of the day
If you wanna see mountains crumble
You can watch it any day
When I come down
It's hard to get it straight
I gotta find me a better way
Whenever the light is gone
You're not the only one
Breaking down
When all your faith is gone
Don't let it pull you under
Change comes around
Sail on to higher ground
Hiding from the thunder
I think we'd all agree
That facing fear don't help us
Escape reality
When I come down
It's hard to get it straight
I gotta live with what I say
