the boiler room is hot and dead get up, it's time to go to work again twelve hours, twelve long hours then some sleep, and back to work again I'm a machine, I'm a machine, I must burn I'm a machine, I'm a machine I must burn and feed the machine the boiler room is calling me late at night deep in my dreams everyday until I die I must burn and feed the machine

cold, black room is my demise turn your back to my demise cold, black room is my demise close your eyes to my demise cold, black room is my demise slip away from my demise cold, black room is my demise my heart fades in my demise cold, black room is my demise

and I see the weather vane and I see storm clouds and I feel approaching rain and I sense everything...everything with a little of this all...and I... with a little of this all...and I...pray with a little of this all...and I...and I... with a little of this all...and I...fade and I feel my pulsing veins beating hard in cold rain I'm alive in storm clouds for awhile I'm everything...everything

Rain Dance 04:41
outside I stand and pray for something...that will make me feel so... alive...alive...and so refreshed again the rain, it lingers, and I, and I... and I, and I, just don't know how I feel and I, and I, and I just pray for rain and I, and I, just don't know how I feel and I pray for rain the clouds drift straight towards me and something...stirs deep inside of me the sky, the sky...stares deep inside of me the rain, it pours, and I, and I... and I, and I just pray for rain...and I pray for rain

Grey Clouds 05:01
the dark sky prevails, the rain beats hard and I feel free...in grey clouds with a little more time I'll get up and leave and leave everything and all this behind I'll stand on the edge and watch the grey clouds today, the day is mine... the grey clouds prevail, the wind blows hard and I am free...in grey clouds I get up cold, walk out the door and see the sky that I adore this day is mine, I now can see and feel the rain seep into me this day is mine and I want more I can not walk back through the door the rain beats hard, beats hard on me the day is here, I now can see

In Vain 04:54
don't talk about the weather don't talk about anything don't think about me, never just feel the days fade, in vain in vain the day has passed forever I can not feel anything just look behind and whither just contemplate fate, in vain
10.
Burn 03:16
11.
I see it in your eyes and I don't think that I... can feel it, it's fading, so far now...and I feel fine fine, I feel fine, fine, I feel fine one last breath, one last day, I don't know what to say I feel it, it's fading, and you're gone...and I feel fine I see it in the sky, the rain pours down on my... fading heart, one last breath, it's over...and I feel fine the day has come...it's over over

13.
I feel my life disintegrate deep blue sky burns straight into me I will take from you just everything, just everything but not today, I seem to need some more time I can not feel, I feel my life disintegrate again I don't know, I don't know I feel my life disintegrate everything around me seems so distant and pale everyone around me tries to understand, appreciate... everything around me seems so lost and so frail everyone around me tries to understand, appreciate ...my pain
14.
Darkness 04:31
and then I think about just every little thing and then I fade on the edge of this darkness and then I sing just one last song a song so sweet, but so full of darkness darkness, so full of darkness I am so full of darkness this feeling fades away, with every little thing and then I slide to the depths of this darkness I just hope and pray for just one more day a day so sweet, so far from this darkness I don't think that I can feel free inside again and as I feel it fade I am so full of darkness darkness...so full of darkness
15.
she drifts between the trees so sad and lonely sometimes she thinks that she is me and sometimes I wish I was her take my hand, and come with me for awhile this isn't anything at all forever green, my soul's for evergreen forever green, my soul's for evergreen, and her... this isn't anything, this isn't anything at all her smile precedes our fall and for a moment we collide
