Songtitle: [words] Comment: {words} Repeats: (words #x) Spoken: -words- {I started doing this just by ear, but then Simon Oakes (the singer) sent me an e-mail asking if I wanted the lyrics. I sure did. Once I had that I was able to clear up a lot of stuff, however there are some parts of the album not in the document he gave me, and some of it he changed since they recorded it. Consequently, some of it may still be wrong. In particular, Syzygy I is all by ear and probably has plenty of mistakes. So if anyone sees anything they can help with let me know.} SUNS OF THE TUNDRA Paper Wraps Stone - Telescopic Misanthropy - Minus - Redeye - Bottlenecked - Splinters - Scissors Cut Paper - Syzygy, Part I - Syzygy, Part II - Syzygy, Part III [Paper Wraps Stone] Finally I hurt myself, Count me with the fallen Did my best to get away, And make it under Press down, Kick it in, Break the wall you build around, You put yourself in the corner And there's no light in the corner I try I'm stuck in the middle I tried I'm stuck in the middle I try but I'm stuck in the middle I'm scard that I'll fuck up still We can all watch paper wrap stone again Time to turn and face the mirror, Try and talk it over Digging into virgin earth, To find an answer My head, my home Cross the line you painted round You find yourself in a corner And there's no light in the corner I try I'm stuck in the middle I tried I'm stuck in the middle I try but I'm stuck in the middle I'm scared that I'll fuck up still We can all watch paper wrap stone again (No need to deny your two sides No need to keep drawing red lines 2x) Red lines! (Red lines 4x) Cause no {?} as good as the last time In the corner, And there's no light in the corner I tried I'm stuck in the middle I try I'm stuck in the middle I try but I'm stuck in the middle I'm scared that I'll fuck up still [Telescopic Misanthropy] (Who put your finger on the trigger? Who put the noose around your neck? 8x) I built this place, my hands On ancient stone, it stands I used to run, so fast Now I turn my head, lie back And now I see the mountains And I can be forgiven While you still feed a hunger To suffer for no reason Temptation calls, I pass My body whole, intact These wounds go deep, don't touch Regard yourself, so much And now I see the mountains And I can be forgiven While you still feed a hunger To suffer for no reason Don't tell me You never had a choice That your fate and mine Were never in our hands Don't tell me You never had a mind And that all this time You never asked why (Who put your finger on the trigger? Who put the noose around your neck? 4x) Who let them take away your free will? Give it back now, one night Transparent and, skin tight You used to shine, so bright You used to aim, so high And now I see the mountains And I can be forgiven While you still feed a hunger To suffer for no reason (Who put your finger on the trigger? Who put the noose around your neck? 2x) [Minus] Nobody said that it ever gets less hard to lose. Nobody said that you'd ever be less easily used. Nobody said that you'd ever get all the way through. Nobody said that your choices were cast iron. Some no-one A minus No time Start up again Big plans Understand All men Make mistakes Noone need remember that you Once were A minus Square one Start up again Ground hog Moebius Rewind Find my white bird high Follow where she flies Silver as she turns Speed is all I've learned Ohhh There's nothing Minus Flatline Start again No plans All alone So low Barely sane Noone need remember that you Once were Fine man With your news Everyday Always lived You always lived So positive Find my white bird high Follow where she flies Silver as she turns Speed is all I've learned Nobody said that it ever gets less hard to lose. Nobody said that you'd ever be less easily used. Nobody said that you'd ever get all the way through. Nobody said that your choices were cast iron. Ohhh High Ohhh She flies Silver as she turns Speed is all I've learned [Redeye] I'm a loose-end With no rythm I got myself onto the rails I'm a redeye I got redeyes Most of them know, but no one will say so I was first to quit I admit to it But I tried At first, we were young and were both there And nothing, nothing had an end Every day we kicked about But none of them stand out now Forever and a day is a prison And I'm sorry I say And there is No race Just another broke down in the lane With dead eyes My dead eyes Most of them know but no one will say so I was first to quit I admit to it But I tried At first, we were young and were both there And nothing, nothing had an end Every day we kicked about But none of them stand out now Forever and a day is a prison And I'm sorry I say (And I tried 4x) At first, we were young and were both there And nothing, nothing had an end Every day we kicked about But none of them stand out now Forever and a day is a prison And I'm (sorry I say 4x) [Bottlenecked] You know now that no one No one should make you feel, oh That it's the right thing to do You know now that no one No one should break these promises Within the rights and wrongs are it all Yeah This time who's right to feel They're the only one's to move on It's not wrong to say nothing You're still as honest as me I chase my own tail And grace is easy to fake No one could hold it on Hold it on for so long To see What if the bottleneck gets free?
