lyrics

There are no more answers
In this story we have made
Where the rogue tongue loosens
And our freedom is staged

The cast who wear the show
Vanish inside their charade
Turn their fear to money
Wear their money as a veil

When you think you know them
They appear as if from a dream
With a face you don’t recognise
Stealing your teeth for jewellery

When there’s no more answers
They’ll revive our misery
Spinning tales of two sides
Each believing they’re the one
God chose to win the fight

While they sell tomorrow
From a second-hand suitcase
Your tears oil their narrow wheels
Like the past hasn’t once paid

Who sees beyond the curtain
Behind the mirror turning wild
Who’s pointing it to Phoney sideshows of numb hearts
When there’s no more answers

You who ask no questions
Inside vague sounds of war
Follow voices raging ’til
You’re worshipping the sword

Those who are sleeping
On the raw tear-stained winds
Awaken to despair
Now bleeding inside of them
When there’s no more answers

But those who watch with silent eyes
Behind the scenes of their mind
Those who feel their phantom limb
Sensing each reply
Turn their pain to freedom
In the alchemy of modern times

These songs aren’t lighthearted tunes, but ones that draw you into the heart and soul of who we are underneath our disguises. ... more
