Reanimated

With a heart that flickers
And rust around my eyes
I creak to life
I creak into life
A burnt out shell
Corrugated, broken cage
Reanimated
I am reanimated
Lights on! Brakes off!
No passengers! No second thoughts!
I am one! I am become!
And I am spiralling, yeah I am spiralling…
My heart is flickering
And the rust is all around me now
I’m leaking life
I’m leaking so much life
The shell is hollow
And the iron’s all rotted away
A spectacle
An awful spectacle
Lights off! Brakes on!
A passenger! On second thoughts!
Lost cause! A cause lost!
And I am spiralling, yeah I am spiralling…
Lost cause
A cause lost
Lost cause
A cause lost

The Yawning Door
01:30
|

And it dawns, and it dawns, and it dawns, yeah it dawns on me
So slight, so slight, so slight, so slight but it changed so suddenly
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, feel it starting to draw
Draw me down, drawn me down, draw me down that terrible hall
I can feel the hand
In the small of my back
Now I’m starting to, yeah I'm starting to, starting to panic
And I’m trying to, yeah I’m trying to, but I can't turn back
At the end of the hall
The yawning door
I know, I know
Calm down, calm down
I know, I know
Calm down, calm down
I know. I know. I know. I know.
And I fall, and I fall, and I fall before the yawning door

Pony Cure

Give me everything you’ve got
Give yourself over to me
The pressure, the pressure
And if you start flagging now
Get yourself on the Pony Cure
The pressure, the pressure
And when you start to slip now, down beneath the surface know
We’re waiting for you
Waiting for you to make
Waiting for your first
Waiting for your first mistake
Waiting for a trip
Waiting for anything
We know where you are and now we’re waiting for, we're waiting for you
Double down, double down, double down on the pony cure
The pressure, the pressure
And when you start to slip down beneath the surface know
We’re waiting for you
Waiting for you to make
Waiting for your first
Waiting for your first mistake
Waiting for a trip
Waiting for anything
We know where you are and now we’re waiting for, we're waiting for you
They tell you to be a swan
Above the surface, serene
But underneath paddling furiously
No one must see what's underneath

Sinking Feeling
02:02
|

|
It begins
The beginning of the end
Just a slight shift
No curtain pull
And I find myself out here alone
Running low on fuel and running quickly out of road
I’ve got a sinking feeling
The slow dawn
Creeps across me now
No second chances
No redemption
And I know I’ve got to face up to the creeping truth
That all this time I’ve spent has just been wasted, wasted
I’ve got a sinking feeling
And I find myself out here alone
Running low on fuel and running quickly out of road
I know I now I’ve got to face up to the creeping truth
That all this time I’ve spent has just been wasted yeah, wasted
I’ve got a sinking feeling

Dust
01:53

It’s time to put your face on
Fix your grin and try to look interested
Laugh at their jokes and try to maintain eye contact
And not like you’re staring into oblivion
Puff your chest out like you mean it
And keep your head up kid
Smile with your eyes, yeah smile with your eyes
And keep your head up
You’ve got to make a good show of it
It’s important to keep up appearances
Try to make it look like you’re listening
And not thinking about how we’re all just dust
Puff your chest out like you mean it
And keep your head up kid
Smiles with your eyes, yeah smile with your eyes
And keep your head up
And there...
And there’s the rub
It’s never enough

Thrum
03:34
|
|||
|
It started out so perfectly
Industry and meaningful purpose
I am happy to fulfil my task
And I go about it with verve, endeavour
I thrum, I whir into new life
Blood and gears and sweat and steam
And there’s so much blood now and it's everywhere
But i just need to try, just try, just try, just try
As I try to keep myself afloat
Working myself to death
As the wave comes crashing over me
I can barely even breathe
It fell apart so beautifully
Gears ground down, threads stripped bare
It’s so much harder now
Pathetic and worn out
But momentum carries me on
The urge, my program compels it
I know I’ll never stop
There’s still one more, one more, one more
I try to keep myself afloat
Working myself to death
As the wave comes crashing over me
I can barely even breathe
Running on empty, I’m at the end
And it’s all been spent
But isn’t it funny, isn’t it just so tragic?
Just give it one last, just give it one last try
And now the joke has come upon me
Well ha ha ha
One last, one last, one last, one last, one last, one last
I'll give it one last try
