Heaven

Called in black to rise when the snake eating itself alive
Feels the meal go thin; had it whole, he wants to start again.
Give him back his time.
Hands tied, eyes closed, going down in the first car:
Realize that you're in heaven.
If you look you'll find he left nothing but a trace behind,
So it's no one's fault but mine we're still knocking on the walls
Like I'm gonna break through to your side.
Hands tied, eyes closed, going down in the first car:
Realize that you're in heaven.

Wake Up

Quiet in the cave, that's why I stayed.
When you left me alone I tucked it in, too; mine.
I wrote myself a note: "It's just shadows cast by the light."
I wrote myself a note: "If you wanna see the real thing, then come outside."
I've been talking to myself since I was a kid, from past and future hell; Wherever I've gone missing.
I thought that was my face, but who I knew was made up after all.
I took the sucker punch, and opened up the cut;
I thought that would be enough. I said: "Please, wake up."
Have mercy on the one who's mean and tries to take you down before
You can do to it to him: that's all he's hurting you for.
And that's me, reflected in you.
I see reflections in you.
I dream reflected in you -- but who I knew was made up after all.
I let myself go broke trying to fill your cup;
I thought that would be enough. I said: Please, wake up."

Outta My Head

Found a way to get all the trouble out of my head, out of my head.
It's the same way to get all the others out of my bed:
Kneel and face the kid. Ask her how she is.
In a day, you let all the water out of your hands - are you empty now,
Your holiness? It's the same way you let all the others make amends for their sins at the expense of your onliness.
Kneel and forget it. Beg for it, bet.
Relent; just fall to it. Free your mind, endless.
Cornered, the way you black the door, but I couldn't look down anymore.
Thought that I caused the rot; you weren't there anymore.
Found a way to get all the trouble out of my head, out of my head:
Relent; just fall to it. Free your mind, unless.

Knee of the Curve

What drive took you the farthest? Waking up with another song to keep out.
You learned it by heart and now you're in the knee of the curve,
You wanna slow down.
Oh, how much can you take?
Oh, how much can you take?
You know better than that.
You know better than that now, don't you?
Wide eyes watch you the wisest. Waking up with another sister to help out.
You took it the farthest. Now you're in the knee of the curve: you see yourself.
Oh, how much did you take?
Oh, how much did you take?
You know better than that.
You know better than that now, don't you?
Too high to fight or cry, we're a big baby with our arms opened wide,
waiting for the cue to rise.
You wanna know where the heart went.
You wanna go where the heart went.
Oh, how much can you take?
Oh, how much did you take?
You know better than that.
You know better than that now, don't you?
