Autoluminescent


I am blinding
Autoluminescent
I am white heat
I am heaven sent
I was a nightmare
But I'm not gonna go there
... again

I lived in the darkness (Into the black hole)
The house of no contest
Make mine a meteor
Rise me above the rest
I'm soaring through outer space
There is no better place
... to be

I'm bigger than Jesus Christ
I'm greater than God in light
I am dangerous
I cut like the sharpest knife
I'm going nova
And I hope I can hold her
... in

Into the dark darkness (Into the darkness)
I gave away myself
tripped on the spiral stairs (Slipped on the spiral stairs)
Tumbling down the well
I fell on a soft spot
I'm white heat, I'm white hot
... again

Breakdown (And Then...)


Crown prince of the crying jag,
Stuffed a towel in his mouth to gag.
Oh my darling I never knew
How hard it was to get rid of you.

I smashed on our virgin date,
Tell me, how did I reach that state?
The day ends again, and then
My darling here comes your breakdown and then...

Struck down by my own device
Sweet Jesus-ice-cold-Christ.
You drowned in the dining room
Resurrection sure came too soon.

God it's cold in this room
Hopped up on fever's croon
Just two more love dumb fools
Here comes your breakdown and then...

Loading the gun again
Dead lead goes in and then
Catch as catch can and can't
Catch cold and fall apart

Cold as a distant star
Hot as a stolen car
I choke on this heart of hate
Sometimes I find it hard to get things straight.

Crown prince of the crying Jag
Stuffs a towel in his mouth to gag
Oh my darlin' I never knew
How hard it was to get rid of you

I smashed our burning date
Oh tell me how did we reach this state
The day ends again and then
My darlin here comes that breakdown and then

Struck down by my own device
Sweet Jesus ice cold christ
You drowned in the dining room
Resurrection it came too soon
God it's cold in this room
I choke on this heart of hate,
Sometimes I find it hard
To get things straight

Cold as a distant star
Hot as a stolen car

Dead Radio


You're bad for me
Like cigarettes.
But I haven't sucked
Enough of you yet.
Nothing is sacred,
And nothing is true,
I'm no-one that's nowhere,
When I'm here with you.

I've lost the power I had to distinguish
Between what to ignite and what to extinguish.

I blew in last night,
I'm the ghost from the coast.
When the lighting is bad,
I'm the man with the most.
You left me to choke,
On a heart up in smoke,
Smiling through your tears,
And your tetracycline overdose.

You're good for me
Like coca-cola.
I don't get any younger,
You don't get any older.
Everything's sacred,
And everything's true,
All this is possible,
When I'm here with you.

I've got a lot to say,
But I keep my own counsel.
I'd like to spit it out,
But I won't speak with my mouthful.

Exit Everything


This is a warning
A gun to the head thing
This is a sign
A don't get out of bed thing

The sky was deep
The wind was hot
I tried to speak
But I could not
The telephone rang like churchbells
Jesus Christ I've gone to hell

A powder burn to the face
To remember you by
A powder burn to the lips
It'll make you cry
A blazing blister kiss
my love Don't you even try
To remember this

Exit everything
Nodding dogs and Valium
Let's make this whole world
Spin like a top
And then stop
Exit Everything

The windows blew out
As you blew in
You wore the smell of success
I wore the taste of sin
With every lie I did you in
Now the siren slowly spins
It'll never last

I backed away from the stars
Because their light cut my skin
Like shards of glass
And the cordite sting
I'm far too late I'm far too thin
I've lost it all that's everything
I don't feel a thing

You know you probably heard her
It was the sound of murder
You know maybe you heard her
This is the sound of murder

Exit everything
Nodding dogs and Valium
Let's make this whole world
Spin like a top
And then stop
Exit Everything

Exit everything
Torch the throne
Kill the king
Exit everything

I Burnt Your Clothes


I had no knife but myself,
It was me I cut but you bled as well
How could I help my dear sweet pretty one?
When I could not put down the gun.

And I don't know your name
Sweet baby Jane.

You'll find it unbelievable,
I left you in the hospital,
And you don't have a stitch to wear
'Cos the doctors cut the clothes right off your back
And guess what I don't care
About who or what or when or where
And Heaven knows;
I burnt your clothes.

That's it, there's no road left to run.
I spilt myself 'til I had none.
I grew thorns upon your path,
They struck not at your feet but at your heart.

Still don't know your name,
Sweet baby Jane.

You'll find it unbelievable,
I left you in the hospital,
And you don't have a stitch to wear
'Cos the doctors cut the clothes right off your back
And guess what I don't care
About who or what or when or where
And Heaven knows;
I burnt your clothes.

I howled outside your door,
I was the wolf but I'll return no more.
This life is black, and running through a
Heart that's cursed, I lost the best,
But can I lose the worst?

I'll soon know your name,
Sweet baby Jane.

You'll find it unbelievable,
I left you in the hospital,
And you don't have a stitch to wear
'Cos the doctors cut the clothes right off your back
And guess what I don't care
About who or what or when or where
And Heaven knows;
I burnt your clothes.

I burnt your clothes
Burnt your clothes
I know your name
Sweet baby Jane.

Shut Me Down


So long baby.
You're much too much.
I can't ignore it
I miss you so much

Well, so long soldier.
I've had enough.
I can't ignore you.
I miss you so much,
I miss you so much,
I miss you so.

I'm standing in a suit
As ragged as my nerves
And I agree, what I've become
Is surely worth the hatred
That you've spat at me.

The stars above me,
The night so deep
That I could trip and drown
And still I see that you would dearly love...
To shut me down

Oh goodbye baby,
We're deep in dutch
I can't believe it,
I miss you so much
I miss you so much,
I miss you so ...... much.

Silver Chain


Fear and self loathing
Made a chain of silver ore
By the time I stop singing
You won't love me anymore
Crying River cure me
But the river just laughed
Washing sand over me

Girl Child your daddy's
Got a chain nine miles long
From every inch of that chain
Hangs a heart he has wronged
Little Girl take the length
Of your father's bright chain
And bind me to you
I don't care what you do

I ran to the fire
Fire purify me
The fire licked my skin
But it would not set me free
I turned to the bottle
Alcohol cure me
Let me sleep without dreaming
Alcohol lied to me

Girl Child your daddy's
Got a chain nine miles long
From every link of that chain
Hangs a heart he has wronged
Little Girl take the length
Of your father's bright chain
And bind me to you
I don't care what you do

I spoke to the forest
I spoke to the trees
I spoke to the fire
But it did not set me free
I carved your name
In the cypress trees bark
I tattooed your name
In a ring 'round my heart
I wore out my welcome
I wore out myself
I wore out my reason
I wore out my health
I forgot my name...
On the day that you came

Sleep Alone


First I shut down the stars
Because you said they ruled us.
Then I took out Mars,
He was the cruelest.
His lover followed suit,
By way of suicide.
The others stood there silent,
As I dealt out peace of mind.

Shut me up,
Shut me down,
Try me if you can.
My love, I'll show you nothing
I'm a misanthropic man.

This is the journey,
To the edge of the night,
I've got no companions
Only Celine on my side.
I don't need nothing from no-one
The needle's in the red,
Nothing to lose,
Everything's dead

Shut me up,
Shut me down,
Stop me if you can.
My love, I'll tell you nothing
I'm a misanthropic man.

The sky is empty / silent,
The Earth still as stone,
So nothing stands above me,
Now I can sleep alone.

Undone


I do not want to be your friend
Kiss your cheek and not your lips
I don't wanna shake your hand
When I can shake your hips
I wanna have your all
See your breasts rise and fall
But you don't come when I call
I do not wanna be your friend

I do not wanna be your friend
I thought we were above that state
I could not make you love me more
I broke my hand on heavens gate
My angels gone. I took the fall
Concussions crown was all I wore
When my mind met the floor
I do not wanna be your friend

License My roving hands and let them go
Above, before, between,
Behind, below

And all those secret parts of you,
I won't, I cannot give them back
The tattered signs, the whispered clues
Indelible as scars and tear tracks
As much of me, as much as you
The smile, the laugh, the sneer, the kiss,
I do not wanna be your friend
I just have no belief in this

I do not wanna be your friend
How could you forget the words I wrote,
Declared for all the world to see
Signed in blood across your throat
I lost my hip, I blew my cool,
I thought we'd burnt that book of rules
Now here I stand the fucken fool
I just want to make love to you
