Move With Me Slowly (bonus track)
. . .


(Collen/Elliott/Savage/Campbell)

I've been burning 
And dousing the flames 
I feel the whiplash 
Of the backlash on my face 
I melt to sleep at night 
But I wake to trip the day 

Never for you never for me 
Would I kiss your feet of clay 
I'm still alive and so should I 
Soak up the wave of compromise 

Am I the victim of youth 
Is this the truth
Why don't you tell me 
Why don't you tell me 

There's no conscience 
In charity or shame 
The voice deceive me 
But believe me its the same 
I see the black in white 
And the colour in the gray 

Better for me better for you 
Gonna bleach it all away 
I'm still alive and so should I 
Soak up the wave of compromise 

I see the scars, I hear the lies 
So what's the truth 
Why don't you tell me

. . .


(Collen)

The concentration drifts 
In and out of me 
Conversation slides away 
Turn and face the change in apathy 
Take a rise to fall 

Won't you save me 
Don't you blame me 
I got the feel that I'm gone - Turn to dust 

Sentence 
Rape me 
Segregate me 
I got the fear that I am gone - Turn to dust 

Slave or sympathy it atrophies 
Save but ancient hearts 
Hiding scars and knives in symphonies 
Still we rise to fall 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Collen/Elliott)

Sittin' Dark 
Getting taken 
'Cause I said 
Something lewd in a 
Low down accent 

Yeah Yeah Yeah 
Kinda love those eyes 
I wanna get down honey 
But I ain't your guy 

I'll rap'n ruch 
'N jam it up 
But count me out 
Cause all I ever wanna get is slang 

Slang with me - I don't wanna get my hands dirty 
Slang with me - I just wanna get soakin' wet 
Slang with me - I don't wanna get my hands dirty 
All I ever wanna get is slang 

What's affectin' my condition 
What's about to knock you down 
Said wrapped 'n bound and a goddamn 
I'd love to get connected 
But it's outta my hands 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus 

It's my intention to be your obsession 
It's my obsession to be your addiction 

Repeat Chorus 

. . .


(Elliott)

I don't know how to leave you 
And I don't know how to stay 
I've got things that I must tell you 
That I don't know how to say 

The man behind these empty words 
Is crying out in shame 
Holding on to this sinking ship 
When nothing else remains 

All I want is everything 
Am I asking too much? 
All I want is everything 
Like the feel of your touch 
But all I have are yesterdays 
Tomorrow never comes 

It's hard to hold your head up 
When you're kneeling down to pray 
And the talking dooesn't come easy now 
When the words get in the way 
And if you could see what's going on 
Behind these private eyes 
The truth would look so easy now 
But I'm running out of lies 

Repeat Chorus 

Guitar Solo 

You think the shadow of doubt 
Is hangin' over my head 
It's just an angel whose wings hide the sun 
And it's myself I betray 
I can not wish this away 
Took my chance now the damage is done 

All I want is everything 
Am I asking too much? 
All I want is everything 
Like the feel, the feel of your touch 
When all I have are yesterdays 
Tomorrow never comes 

Ooh, oooh 
Ooh, oooh 

. . .


(Campbell)

Day and night black and white 
You take it all for granted 
I'm the one who turns you on 

When you don't know where you belong 
And nothin' seems to matter 
I'm the one who's holding on 

It's alright to be wrong 
All we need's a little time 
But nothing here can last that long 

We show the world a brand new face 
It's taken us all this time 
All this time 
All of this doubt 
We get to work it out 
All of this doubt 
We get to work it out 

Yesterday lost your way 
Still looking for an answer 
I'm the one who holds the key 

When you don't know where you belong 
And nothing seems to matter 
I'll unlock this mystery 

Repeat Chorus 

Guitar Solo 

Repeat Chorus 

All of this doubt 
Day and night - Black and White 
Take it all for granted 
We get to work it out 
I'm the one who turns you on 
Turns you on - Turns you on 
All of this doubt 

When you don't know where you belong 
And nothin' seems to matter 
We get to work it out 
I'm the one who's holdin' on 
Holdin' on - Holdin' on 

. . .


(Collen)

Let me down slow and easy 
Cause there ain't nothin' I can do 
I hope and pray my faith won't leave me 
When it comes down to me and you 

Try a little tenderness 
I die a little 
For a long lost sweet caress 

You lyin' next to me 
Fulfilled some destiny 
I wanna cry 
But I breathe a sigh 

Just a little bit of letting go 
I don't want you to know 
I wanna cry 
But I breathe a sigh 

Overflow of emotion 
And a hurt that'll never heal 
If you close the door forever 
The fate of pain is sealed 

Try a little tenderness 
I die a little 
For a long lost sweet caress 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus 

I more than long for your affection 
I tell you know that ain't so 
Not even gentle persuasion 
Is ever gonna let me go 
Won't you let me breathe 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus 

. . .


(Collen/Elliott)

I'm tired of feeling hateful 
I'm tired and I can't breathe 
So tired that I would be grateful 
If you close the door when you leave 

That's me diggin' my heels in 
That's me with the holy ghost 
'Scuse me but I don't remember 
Where were you when I needed you most 

And I'm tied to the sky 
As you claw at my eyes 
And I wait for the flood 
I swim in blood 
As I crawl to my knees 
And I beg your disease 
Taste the ice on your breath 
As you catch your death 

I close my eyes 
Embrace me 
Deliver me 

Hey you the voice of reason 
Hey you are you listening to me 
It's you that I can't believe in 
I don't buy what I don't see 
Say good-bye 'cause I don't need 

Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Chorus 

I close my eyes 
Embrace the wave 
Abandon me 

Save the day 
That I won't see 
Deliver me 

. . .


(Collen)

I am all destiny, a trade 
A grain of sand 
I am the lesson to be learned 
I take the throat of innocence 
And leave decay 
I stain the way for all to see 

No fear, no voice, no reason 
In God no guiding light 
When all the guilt that's in your head 
Turns its back and plays for dead 
You scorch the earth and torch the sky 
Conscience low with head held high 

Indulge and multiply 
And sacrifice 
As lack of breath chokes underground 
Divulge degenerate 
The darker side 
From windows watch the screaming sky 

Repeat Chorus 

When all the guilt that's in your head 
Turns its back and plays for dead 
You scorch the earth and torch the sky 
Conscience low with head held high 

From all the truth comes all the shame 
The curse of flesh just takes its aim 
On hallowed ground and tortured sky 
Walk in fear with spirits high

. . .


(Collen/Elliott)

I heard this line one time 'bout tryin' to save the world 
But have you ever tried to save yourself 
A wide-eyed suicide drive 
Remains a fake 
As if you'd ever 
Ever go and make the same mistake 
Strung out as the night comes crawlin' 
Your halo of thorns is fallin' 

Blood runs cold 
I feel it in my bones 
But you don't know your time is up 
Blood runs cold 

Somebody somewhere is screamin' out the words 
But do they ever really ease the pain 
I guess what I'm trying to say 
Is whose life is it anyway because livin' 
Living is the best revenge 
You can play 
This fall from grace 
I see your face 
It's over 

Repeat Chorus 

From you love was kind 
Resolved left scarred and blind 
Wasted and naked in the wings 

Denying twist of fate 
Demanding Heaven's gate 
Lying in wait above the wind 

Strung out as the night comes crawlin' 
Your halo of thorns is fallin' 

Repeat Chorus 

Blood runs cold 
Blood runs cold 

. . .


(Elliott/Collen)

Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God 
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost 
Could you ever take a life when all was lost 
And would it ever be enough 

Could you bite the hand that feeds you and then ask for more 
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds spit it on the floor 
Could you open up your heart then close the door 
And would it ever be enough 

Every word you whisper 
All the tears you hide 
You die for love when it's alive 
But where does love go when it dies 

If you came across your dream would you walk on by 
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die 
And is there room inside your mind for one more try 
And would it ever be enough 

I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave 
Showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave 
You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light 
And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now 

If you woke up from your sleep blood on your hands 
Would you wash the pain away no one understands 
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again 
And would it ever be enough 

Repeat Chorus 

. . .


(Elliott/Collen/Savage)

Your price, name the time 
The suspect or the crime 
The shadow of my gun 
Get down or you can run 

Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire 
Empty room, turn the key 
You're never alone 
When you're with me 

Temptation, break the vow 
Cut flesh from the sacred cow 
Unchain the tiger, kiss the flame, feel your desire 
Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire 

Soaked in fear, the curtain falls 
Religion within these walls 
Mystify my soul beliefs 
Confession is my release 

Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire 
Unchain the tiger, crucify, feed your desire 
Pearl of euphoria 
Pearl of euphoria 

. . .


(Collen)

I'm lost in imagination 
Still contemplate animation 
I just groove on your breathing 
I do it all for you 

You've got a problem witcha boyfriend 
He don't squeeze you right 
He got you facedown and waiting, baby 
Keep you waiting all night 
So do me a favour 

Won't you 
Move with me slowly 
Get too close to me 
Move with me slowly 
Just like we're meant to be 
Just like we're meant to be 

Hey say sister 
You're dreaming 
You got stars in your eyes 
A little conscious behavior 
Is gonna cut 
You down to size 

You hear me knocking 
So let me in 
When your blood runs cold 
And your love wears thin 
It's over passion 
It's under the skin 
If love ain't a miracle 
It sure ain't a sin 
So let me in 

Take me to the city 
Take me on my knees 
Take me anyway 
You find me baby 
I've got this love disease 
And there ain't nothin' 
I can do
