Visions of a Stranger
03:39

I see your face in the window
I see eyes in the shadows
I feel a hand on my pillow
I hear a voice when the wind blows
And it's calling me back
For more
It's calling me back
Under
Dead key on the piano
A viper hides in the meadow
It's venom drags you below
To a strange friend in the shadows
And now I want to go back
For more
I want to go back
Under
I'm not going back
Under
I'm not going back
For more

Falling Down

Stone cold face
The winter's embrace
The kiss from the surface of the lake
Fierce winds blow
Through the hollow of your soul
Yeah, I found love in that deep, dark hole
Oh, but you're falling down
Yeah, you're falling down
You're falling down
You fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
And you're falling down
You fall but you'll never touch the ground
And we all would love to watch you drown
Yeah, you're falling down
Down down down
You fall but you'll never touch the ground
And we all would love to watch you drown

There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go
You're loosing all control
You feel it in your soul

I know where you're coming from
I know where you've been
The bitter heart breaths fire beneath cold skin
You've been singed
I know what you're running from
Cause I run all the time
You can run like hell but they'll never leave you behind
We're by your side
I know what you're work towards
Dime by dime
You're saving up, but spending all your time
Watch it fly
Your scars and your silhouette
Are so well defined
Your scars are what you hang on to
And your shadow's whats left behind
And I see you
You stand your ground
Yeah, the world's on fire and the walls are crumbling down
All around
And it's you
You're bright as day
Yeah, you're looking down as the world just falls away
You vibrate

Calm me down, and pull me away
Before what I say
Gets hurled back in my face
Comfort me, give me air to breath
Please put me at ease
Unless you disagree
You're blood leached, muzzled, beat and spayed
I'm warm meat, sun-bleached decay
Corporate greed and the ticking machine
Will enslave everything
And convince us we are all free
Fill rooms with gold, you get a world full of holes
And the fires of old
Will rise up from below
It's a fool's gold, black mold parfait
But volcanos will consume us anyway
They'll challenge me to a duel to the end
Where we'll piss in the wind
And we'll see who's more competent
Please pull me out, and pull me upwind
before the showers begin
And I feel it on my skin
They've called me back to my dismay
Oh, please hold me fast I've gone astray
Save me from this destiny
Before we fall
Away
Where in the dark is your light
Come and find me
And reach out with your heart
Let your love come and bind me
Oh, there in the dark is your light
Let it blind me
And reach out with your heart
Let the dark fall behind me

Early morning
From a room without a view
Grey skies pour over
A sun that cant shine through
And wondering is all I can do
If these dreams that I have could ever come true
But answers are so hard to pursue
So I lie in my bed and dream about you
I take steps and fall through
It's madness that ensues
So I'll drink wine and pass time
It's so easy to be consumed
And I'm trying hard to make it on through
To cut up my past, start something new
But trying is such a hard thing to do
When every road I go down leads me from you
New day sun ray
Push through my window shade
Its day bright sun light
Nuzzles me awake
And maybe Ill take a walk outside
I heard there's a world there beyond my bedside
My jackets on, and my boots are tightly tied
Please lend me your pardon if I leave you behind

Climb in my window
And I swear to you the truth I hope that you could believe
Someone like me
If the truth were only something that you could see
I hope that you're alright without me
And I think about Sundays
Laying in damp rooms with the curtains drawn
And no lights on
Yeah, we could never really tell when the light was all gone
And the darkness was coming on
I'm stuck on a train car
As it squeals and screams its way through the underground
Away from this town
The train lurches to a halt as the power shuts down
I open my eyes and look around
Ahead at the next stop
A man my age made peace, and he jumped on the tracks
As the train rolled past
The operator apologizes, urges us to relax
I close my eyes and just sit back
And as I was waiting
Time slipped away like my change at the penny slots
And all that was lost
Each spin around takes me away from my youth and steals my thoughts
I never really thanked you for the times we got
So I'll climb in your window
And I'll swear to you the truth I hope that you could believe
Someone like me
If the truth were only something that we could see
I know that you'll be alright without me
