Land of Fear
04:24

A sordid, faded night…
Caught in Detroit, how she cried
From behind bars tonight
And have I just destroyed a life?
Underground and I’m right there with her now.
Pick the guitar. No escape. A catastrophe.
It’s not as it should be.
It’s all my fault.
Should be here instead of me (cos’)
You’re gone, long gone
And look at the mess we’ve made.
How long? How long?
Before this debt is paid.
It’s not what I want, it all ends here.
Which way to turn? It’s so unclear.
No, I never thought I’d wake up in the land of fear.
Fear. Fear. Fear.
Silence. Silence. The endless dark is deafening.
Tired. Wired. In waking dreams, you decimate.
And what are we to do? They’ll keep you here.
And what are we to do? Guess this party now is over.
You’re gone, long gone
And look at the mess we’ve made
How long? How long?
Before this debt is paid
It’s not what I want, it all ends here.
Which way to turn? It’s so unclear.
I never thought I’d wind up in the land of fear
Fear. Fear. Fear.
It takes a lot to say “I’ll wait for you, dear.”
“I’d do anything to see you through”
It takes a lot to say if this thing’s loaded
My kamikaze angel, blue.
It takes a lot to say what waits for you dear
But I’d do anything to see this through.
It takes a lot to say if this thing’s loaded.
My kamikaze angel, blue.
You’re gone, you’re long gone
And look at the mess we’ve made.
How long? How long?
Before this debt is paid.
It’s not what I want, it all ends here.
Which way to turn? It’s so unclear.
I never thought I’d end up in the Land of Fear.
Fear. Fear.
Fear.

Mariana Trench
05:12

Listen. I hear the siren cry. Do you hear her?
Listen. She’s taken by the tide.
Well I know you care but there’s not a soul in sight.
So don’t go out there, where there's no saving you.
Such a long way down,
You should save yourself.
I’m going under, won’t let her drown
In Mariana Trench
I’m hypnotised, by
Her sad pale blue eyes, I’ve
Fallen to that good night
Into her death be dive, there’s no way that
Of all the thoughts
That cross her mind tonight
I promise you not one of them is you.
She holds me down now
Don’t wanna save yourself
But Mariana’s pulling me down
And for her, I’d drown
Instrumental
Someone save me now
You could have saved yourself
Going under, all the way down
And alone I’ll drown.

You'll See (Let It Be)
05:05
|

It happened again, fallen a little behind
We’d not got far when it sank
So done missing out by I guess some hook or line
Now wondering yet again what’s the reason?
Like, what have I done now?
Did I come on too strong?
And what have I done now?
Did I miss it all along?
Thinking way back to when
She would always hold my hand
To keep her getting down with her night demons
On my arm, she would depend
Just as far as the party’s end
See, I never was the man for every season.
Oh, what have I done now?
Did you come on too strong?
And what have I done now?
Did I get it all wrong?
But won’t you let it be?
Don’t sit around, thinking they'll complete ya
Paradigms shift and soon they’ll react, man
You’ll see
So I’m trying again, but it’s always on my mind
The fear of missing out is taking over
Looking around, why can’t I figure it out?
Can you ever just be sure of the path you’re walking?
Cos what did I do now?
She just was not the one
And what’ll I do now?
The best is yet to come!
And won’t you let it be?
You don’t need no one else – get on your feet/up, yeah?
The stars all shift and
Fall into place, man
You’ll see
So let go. Don’t play it cool
Just be warm as you are
Stand up tall, your heart upon your arm
Don’t shy away man, let her see all of your scars
And won’t you let it be?
You are enough, her rock to stand on
To stop her drifting
You’ll be her everything, man
You'll see

Where Do You Go?

Where do you go...
When things don’t add up right?
When we wanted you there
But you’d ran out of sight.
And where was your head when you were somewhere else and
The rain was coming down around us
Sometimes I wished you’d just been there?
But you never were, you know.
And when was the time
When the mountain range was ours?
When coming off the ground
It didn’t seem so hard?
Well I wrote it down and hoped somehow you’d notice
How far in time we both have drifted
Far
And wide and never further from the start
Where do you go?
Gone without a sound
And dispatch the search
To bring ya back to life
And just take the hand that needs it
You’re fading. Please come home?
We’d have never made it on our own.
And how do we go
So long undiscovered?
Those Roman candles burn
Burn against the night.
“Don't you understand?
For this, we’ll have to fight
It’s been so damn cold,
We've got to keep that spark alight”
And where do you go?
I call your name aloud
Didn’t you ever hear
The call out every night?
And just take this hand. I'm pleading.
You’re fading. Please come home?
We’d have never made it on our own.
