It's always darkest at the end of the day
When all the midnight oil's burnin' away
It's antiquated but you know what they say
No, there ain't nothin' new
Maudlin nights spent pacin' the floor
Haunt the room until I can't anymore
Look at the clock, it says it's 12:34
I must be missin' my cue
'Cause it's all I need
To be feelin' free, oh

I know my place in the world isn't what it was before
I can hear my breathin' over the bangin' on the door
It's the same
Same old thing

The chips are stacked, still it's never enough
Tip my hand but they keep callin' my bluff
Already folded now I'm sortin' my stuff
Crimson fabric unfurled
Earlier, I thought I'd have me a drink
Took a sip and poured it right down the sink
Instead I guess I'm gonna sit here and think
About the weight of the world
That I'm underneath
How it's killin' me, oh

I know my place in the world isn't what it was before
I can hear my breathin' over the bangin' on the door
I've got my feet on the ground and my head is in the air
I will find my peace of mind when it's scattered everywhere
It's the same
It's the same
Same old thing

A Good Way to Reappear

Probably Something - Remix

Deadly voices ringin' through
Have they come to kill the child inside of you? (Inside of you?)
I'm gonna burn my love, burn my love away
I'm gonna burn my love, burn my love away

Black shoes, black tie, black suit
Don't kid yourself, just take it off
Once you begin to fade away
Then you can never stop
If you walk through that door
You'll climb until you hit the top
Black shoes, black tie, black suit
Don't kid yourself, just take it off

Ambitious fools get what they need
Make a travesty out of everything they see
I'm gonna lick these wounds and rest my bones
While the charlatans ascend their thrones
'Cause who the hell am I to disagree?

Black shoes, black tie, black suit
Don't kid yourself, just take it off
Once you begin to fade away
Then you can never stop
If you walk through that door
You'll climb until you hit the top
Black shoes, black tie, black suit
Don't kid yourself, just take it off
Aye-ahh

And when the work is finally done
There will be no time to ride into the setting sun
Let the record stand for all to see
No, you did not get the best of me
But, hey, thanks for the ride
Guess it was fun

Burn My Love Away - Remix

You can say that you'll stay
When the time comes you won't
'Cause you'll never get hurt
By the ones you've let go
Say what you will
It's a good way to disappear
Just something you learn to get by through the years

Oh, and now
You've got a clean slate full of memories
All for you (ooh)
Yeah, just for you
Another severed tie to your reveries
Just hangin' like threads

If you've never been lost
You can never be found
I s'pose that's what you're tellin' yourself
When you're not around
But how will you kill
All the strangers that you've become
When it's already cost
Just as much as you've won

Oh, and you've
Got a clean slate full of enemies
All for you (ooh)
Yeah, just for you
Another severed tie to your reveries
Just hangin' like threads

Clean Slate - Remix

Back on the throughways
I had the time of my life
Skip to the new phase
Could cut the strain with a knife
I'll get my dues paid
'Til then keep dodgin' the call
There's been a few things
That left me takin' a hit
Take off your shoestrings
You'll get 'em back in a bit
Since then I grew wings
Just another fly on the wall

And don't you worry everything's gon' come in time
Until then, just take the best you can get
Send the rest to the back of the line

All of this hearsay
Has got me crossin' my heart
Maybe a mistake
To play this game from the start
My pound of flesh weighed
And I'm in over my head
It's feast or famine that we're gettin'
Now we're back on the hook
And I've gotten so damn good at quittin'
I could write half a book
The difficulty is admittin'
You're just pullin' the thread

And when the taxman comes, he might be takin' it all
But baby when we find ourselves with our backs to the wall
Oh, don't you worry everything's gon' come in time
Until then, if you know where to sign
Just take the best you can get
Send the rest to the back of the line

And when the taxman comes, he might be takin' it all
But baby when we find ourselves with our backs to the wall
Oh, don't you worry everything's gon' come in time
Until then, if you know where to sign
Just take the best you can get
Send the rest to the back of the line

To the back of the line
To the back of the line
Back of the line

Back of the Line - Remix

Clingin' on like the ash from a cigarette
The spectacle hasn't started but the stage is set
You got the look, kid
You got some big dreams
Think you should know we really love the way you do your thing
Here we go, another item for the resume
Give us your soul, we'll have the judges come and give it a play
They say the best things in life are free
But ain't you figured out that things aren't
Always what they seem to be?

Go on and take a bow
Everyone's happy now

You talk a big game
You got some principles
That kind of stuff can leave you feelin' pretty miserable
Drop us a line when you're ready to submit
Trust me, you don't really wanna know what I think about it
'Cause I'm still waitin' on the wolves at the door
And I don't really wanna do this anymore
Four little letters, they look better on the shelf
But you'd rather see 'em danglin'
From the ceiling like they hung 'emselves

Go on and take a bow
Everyone's happy now

Everyone's happy now
Everyone's happy now
Everyone's happy now
Everyone's happy now
Everyone's happy now
Everyone's happy now

Take a Bow - Remix

Gently spiralin' after dark
Forever feastin' on your heart
If loneliness is all you're willing to accept then have it
Another sabotage each week
This brand of loyalty you seek
Keeps burning bridges in each breathless rant
A bad, bad habit

There's no stone on which you stand
The insincerities of man
If it's all just been a facade
Well, at least it's comin' down
Your commitment to the pain
Of slightly fallin' off again
The absurdity of it all
Please release me from the sound

So into camouflage you go
Beneath the faces that you show
But if nobody's out to get you then you might be paranoid
Berate the silence with a test
It's specious reasoning at best
Hey what's the going rate for screaming senselessly into the void?

There's no stone on which you stand
The insincerities of man
If it's all just been a facade
Well, at least it's comin' down
Your commitment to the pain
Of slightly fallin' off again
The absurdity of it all
Please release me from the sound

There is no stone on which you stand
The insincerities of man
If it's all just been a facade
Well, at least it's comin' down
Your commitment to the pain
Of slightly fallin' off again
The absurdity of it all
Please release me from the sound

There's no stone on which you stand
The insincerities of man
If it's all just been a facade
Well, at least it's comin' down
Your commitment to the pain
Of slightly fallin' off again
The absurdity of it all
Please release me from the sound

Fake - Remix

You don't get no second chance
The choices you make, they decide where you land
In liminal spaces between now and then
There's no changin' circumstance
It's seldom that life goes the way that you've planned
There isn't much difference in what you intend
You'll never return here, but you can pretend

A room full of photographs
Frozen in time
So meet me at the borderlands
Where nobody knows what's next down the line

It's easy in retrospect
To see all those truths that could not be obtained
Crossed out, divergent from everything
So much for the circumspect
The simplest thing you could never explain
With nothin' but backwards foreshadowing
Not crashing or burnin' but feelin' the sting

A room full of photographs
Frozen in time
So meet me at the borderlands
Where nobody knows what's next down the line

When you're feelin' so hurt and small
When everything's fallin' apart at the seams
When the longin' for that curtain call
Only makes sense in the fog of your dreams

A room full of photographs
Frozen in time
So meet me at the borderlands
Where nobody knows what's next down the line

Borderlands - Remix

Well, I met a man by the docks yesterday
His hands they were withered, his hair it was gray
He worked on his craft and he talked with a smile
As he motioned for me to sit down for awhile
And he spoke about love and of heaven and such
And he spoke of the woman he was missin’ so much
Then he lifted the anchor, and he raised up his sail
But that's just the beginning of this Irishman's tale

Well, his compass delivered a near-perfect aim
His boat it was fast and as strong as they came
But the weather report hadn't mentioned the storm
The horizon was glass when it started to form
Soon the waves they were fierce, how they beat at the wood
And he bailed out the rain just as fast as he could
But he couldn't keep up, he was destined to fail
But that's not the end just quite yet of this Irishman's tale

Well, he looked up at Jesus and he raised up his fist
And he wondered how it ever came down to this
Well, he drank up the whiskey but he spit out the wine
As the angels and demons both stepped into line
I remember the place that he spoke of you know
And it sure does sound nice and I'd sure love to go
"Maybe one day we will meet up again"
He said, "Just you remember this old Irishman"

An Irishman's Tale

In the dark
Taste of you still on my tongue
I know that we're just havin' fun
For the night
Then we'll part
Like phantoms in the mist
'Cause some things cannot exist
In the light

(Hey) we don't talk much
She can say it with a touch
Ain't nobody wastin' words
We're just takin' what we need
She don't make love
And I can never get enough
Drippin' in the subtlety
Lettin' silence speak
Say thanks for the memories (hey)

Once again
Tiny bruises on her hips
She puts a finger to my lips
And it's on
2 AM
As she gathers up her chains
So the mystery remains
When she's gone

We don't talk much
She can say it with a touch
Ain't nobody wastin' words
We're just takin' what we need
She don't make love
And I can never get enough
Drippin' in the subtlety
Lettin' silence speak
Say thanks for the memories (hey)

Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
Oh

Close your eyes, join the rest
Nobody's watching
Nobody's watching
Stolen skin, bartered flesh
All you've been wanting
All you've been wanting

Paper man, paper man
Tear out my best parts

There's enough to go around
So, don't you worry
No, don't you worry
Take your piece and pass me down
What's your hurry?
No need to hurry

Paper man, paper man
Tear out my best parts
Paper man, paper man
Rip me to shreds

Scent of hunger on your breath
I'll be a good one
I'll be a good one
Press your fingers through my chest
Whatever the outcome
Whatever the outcome

Paper man, paper man
Tear out my best parts
Paper man, paper man
Rip me to shreds
Paper man, paper man
Throw me away

Paper Man
