Dead To The World - Album

by ZEITGEIST ZERO

/
1.
Heart To Black So many people, so little purpose Speak without thinking See with out focus It hurts, be ashamed Stupid phrases bring such pain Times have changed Lies fade, the truth remains Can’t think of something good to say Then don’t open your mouth today I’ve heard the biased jokes before And I can’t stand it anymore You turn my heart to black Your words are poison Sticks and stone may break my bones
2.
Party For One I feel like I’m at a party for one The guests have gone and there’s no more to come The food looks good it looks such a treat But it’s not my taste and there’s nothing I can eat How does it feel to be loved? I wouldn’t know I’ve always been alone You! You’ve been adored I’m just ignored That’s why I feel like I’m at a party for one Somewhere someone’s having fun but it isn’t me, it isn’t me Somewhere someone’s laughing, is it at me? Is it at me?
3.
It’s Not Easy Being Strange This is no playground for the Dead Nowhere to go to, is this the end? We are the misfits and the strange We are not dead just ignored instead It’s not easy being strange I can’t help that I despise all of the sunny skies It’s not easy being strange It’s never trouble free, seeing the world differently This is no playground for the Dead We are the freaks walking down your streets Sinister slander dogs our days Trapped in the remnants of a bygone age

My Heart Has Left The Building At the end of your life what will you say? “I wish I’d spent more time having fun each day” Was all of the joy, you ever knew, ever to last? My heart has left the building today I wanted to join it but it told me to “stay” Now I’m sitting here with an empty head Has it left forever, has it turned to lead? Gone away, gone away, left today Gone away, my faithful friend I heard my heart say “We are slaves, we are slaves, it’s in the hard times we feel the chains” If I had some money I would track it down Take it on a trip all around the world Can I give it the happiness it’s never found? Is this a phase, am I a clown? At the end of your life what will you say? “I’m ready to leave these human chains” Was all of the risk and all the regrets worth the trial? If I followed my heart to where it wants to go, can I trust it to keep me from the cold? Will all of the pains bring great gains and will it come home, to me again? Gone away, gone away, left today Gone away, my faithful friend

The Broken 05:03
The Broken Open and waiting, the broken have taken, over this insane world Elite and greedy, keep us desperate and needy, with distracting mediocrity Propaganda flicks play their dirty tricks and rewrite our past, as memories play forgetful tricks by making us believe The news today says they’ve taken our, freedoms away, to save us from, the evil ones, that hurt us yesterday On our screens, mesmerised, another catastrophe As disorder and crime, put fear in our minds Corruption hides in lies Impersonal days where we have no time so much is so fake, as toxic blights and electronic eyes invade into our lives So many wonder where it all went wrong Too many born to the stupid and young Wolf pack mentality, it tears apart at you and me Sold and mis-sold what we just don’t need Is this progress or is this greed? Wolf pack mentality, it tears apart at you and me
6.
Grudge 03:58
Grudge You look out through narrow eyes Do you know enough to despise? Take confidence for arrogance and think that I’m a fool My story would make you cry, but my eyes are a long time dry And what I say in private isn’t what you’ll hear outside Don’t you see it’s fantasy, we’re all insecure inside You hate me because I seem to have the things that you can’t find Don’t you see it’s fantasy, we’re all insecure inside You hate me because you see the things that you can’t find Self pity is not for me and I’ll say “I’m doing fine” Because I don’t want to share what’s on my mind

Big Bad Wolf 03:34
Big Bad Wolf Red leather girl, met wolf man in the woods They held hands and they smooched And they smiled The wolf said, “I shoot silver bullets, silver bullets when I make love, so let’s get to it, let’s get to it” The wolf said “I shoot silver bullets, silver bullets, see how big and bad I can be!” He whispered in her ear, many dirty things, that would scare grandma should she ever hear And they smiled Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf ? The wolf man growled “You’re the one” Let’s howl at the moon, we’re children of the night And they smiled
8.
Caress 04:49
Caress Come Mr Darkness, give me your kiss I’m longing to hold you and feel your caress Come Mr Darkness can’t you see? I don’t know how to meet you, you must come to me Sweet violet breath and the lily incline Of the slumberous neck as it mimics the mime In rhythm, in step to the toll of the rhyme The curse of each day forever unwinds Everyday I dream about you but that just makes me feel blue Come Mr Darkness I’m looking my best I’ve straightened my stockings, put on a black dress Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it’s only you I can trust Sweet violet breath pressed onto the page Tangled in sheaves that strangle the days Tomorrow, tomorrow and always to come Fate in the wings forever undone Everyday I dream about you but that just makes me feel blue Tomorrow, tomorrow, forever, undone Sweet violet breath iced to the pane The crack in the crystal, the flawed refrain That echoes and splinters and drifts to the wind Tomorrow forever, forever unpinned Everyday I dream about you but that just makes me feel blue Come Mr Darkness, give me your kiss I’m longing to hold you and feel your caress Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it’s only you I can trust
9.
Dance Of The Fallen Blink away fantasies or fall into insanity Double lives of truth and dreams were never, ever, meant to meet Can’t touch it, can’t taste it, but you can feel it Carnal flesh tethered to a mind that will never, ever be satisfied The wheels have fallen off this daydream, it’s spinning, faster, in the night Can’t touch it, can’t taste it, but you can feel it It seems so real but it’s all in your head Waiting for a day that cannot be, that will never become a memory, of love affairs and daring deeds and satisfying every need Can’t touch it, can’t taste it, but you can feel it And if a dream was to come true, would it, be just as good? All in your head Even though it’s sad to find comfort in an imagined life Reality is just too tough, a state of truth that’s never good enough Make believe it dulls the ache of all the humdrum time awake

Unlucky 13 03:46
Unlucky 13 On the thirteenth day I arrived Unlucky city in violent times The people I met were cruel and kind They gave me love and a blackened eye Success and happiness I’ve never been blessed Luck and money are strangers to me It’s hard to get along, I guess I’ve always been Unlucky 13 I got so tired being called a liar Told how useless and selfish I am I walked a minefield of rage Trapped in a cage, I’ll never be able to break You’ll never know the disappointments I’ve had Broken promises and lies I’ve been fed You’ll never know what it’s like to be Unlucky 13
11.
Blood 04:57
Blood There’s blood on the microphone Desperation breathes inside Suck in your feelings and give a big smile There’s a new wave we can’t seem to ride Why is everything so difficult and takes so much time? There’s blood on the microphone It’s the sweat of insanity, bitterness of reverie There’s blood on the microphone, the loneliness of lunacy Everybody’s talking about the next best thing, that’s twenty years old as we’ve forgotten how to think There is no time to change our mind I’m called ‘Dead’ because inside I’ve died Will we be recognised And everybody who couldn’t see How much it’s meant to be Will they be right or will we? There’s blood on the dance floor …
