IQ LYRICS

1. Outer Limits

Break out the waters
Waiting for anything to come
Hold on forever
Hell below and Heaven dead ahead
Don't ever change your way

Burn down the prison
Stay in the balance of the wire
Hold on forever
Only you can turn that lethal level
I'll keep you safer than sound

Even the rain won't fall in a straight line
Take it from me, you'll find that the pulses shine

I take the strain
Let go the millions of us
The whole divide
It wasn't easy, I want to stay

"You're not alone
So don't look back
You better see
It's getting black
You're not alone
Surrender now
You're going to fall in line
You better learn this time"

I'm trying to get there
I'm falling from nowhere

2. The Wake

Singing praises was never a feature encouraged in me or my kind
Every time they remain with my hands on my mouth
The crowded borders leave me colour-blind

Pushing me for the death warmed up and the flowers and fur to parade
In the time that it takes for the ritual wake
They've broken all the promises they made

I was driven away to distraction and
Couldn't see we were all laid to waste
Never sleeping, I saw my abduction from
Solid areas fallen from grace

I come drifting through the draughting
Dropping out of sight
I'm not begging for love, I'm empty as I am

I'm beginning to wonder
Is the ability too weak?
If this stark interior surrounds me
Am I so unique?

Little blue souvenir to remind me of
Restless days when I should have said No
And you know that I've nothing to share with you
For the chance of the love that we save

I wanted to be magnificent
For the less-than-a-lifetime of mine
I forget where I came in
All I know there's no discipline now

3. The Magic Roundabout

Stop your tears from hiding
See them mesmerise your skin
It's all that I can do
To keep away from going in
I fed the ghost of plenty
As the perfume turned to grey
If life is still worth living
How come I feel afraid?

One day, some day
I will take from the air
The only way out
I can't deny the honesty
I want to stay
But it's more than me

I'm losing all the reason
Keep forgetting what I've said
Oh I try to bring it closer
But there's nothing in my head
I don't believe in ever
And I don't believe in now
If life is still worth living
How come I feel alone?

Suddenly, if it comes then I'm gone
Why don't you talk to me
See I'm not
Your enemy? I am right by your side
I want to stay
But it's more than me

Each time you go down
Don't forget to remember
Everything is easy
Most of all believing
It will take you over
It will bring you down
It's hidden in the language
It's in the words I say
(I say so)

4. Corners

Darker than the starlight gold
Bearing down again to bury me
In the air
Suffer like a stained glass wire
When the waves are gone, your eyes and fears
I'll be there

And if we can still believe in tomorrow
Yesterday will disappear soon enough
When it seems impossible to remember
How the world could be so proud of itself

Into lives of violent ends
She hides away, relies on night
All the time
Holding out a hand to take
Still awash in seas of ivory
We steal away

And it's such a lonely ride to tomorrow
Through the corners where the light never shows
When it seems impossible to imagine
How the world could be so cold to itself

And if we can still believe in tomorrow
Yesterday will disappear soon enough
When it seems impossible to remember
How the world could be so proud of itself

5. Widow's Peak

Garden over me, the secret I love most
God and Man agree to giving up the ghost
High above the moon, the sun has left the sky
I would love to know if you're the reason why

Garden under me, the naked and the dead
I can still remember everything we said
Higher, higher now than I have ever been
More than meets the eye than mine have ever seen

Garden over me, you never know the grief
Hide this side away to satisfy belief
I can't stand the agony of nothing new
When the soft white belly enters into you

I go down

The ribbon wrapped a gun, I blinded everyone
Collected underground, now I'm up I'm down
It isn't how you lie, it's in the way you're mine
How was I to know the nerves would overflow?

I want to see you, I want to touch you
I want to feel the breathing changing
I want to be you, to be inside you
To pull you under, get you fighting
Unsodden even the water leaking
Don't want to hear the widow speaking
And just to know if there could be something
You couldn't get that, yeah...

Ah, you fools, don't you see?
He's darker than he's going to be
State I'm in, hollow bone
Diamond hard heart of stone

Lost in love, senses flown
Diamond hard heart of stone

6. The Thousand Days

I may be wrong
But the miracle
That I prayed for
Is here
Could be illusion
Maybe some trickery
I don't know why
I'm scoring the angels
Counting all the thousand days
There were so many tears
So many times
Wasting away
So what about the thousand days

We miss the reason
Because of what we are
I fall silent
With you
The gash I know
Is getting obvious
The blood of ages
From scoring the angels
Guaranteed for all we know
There were so many tears
So many times
Wasting away
So what about the thousand days?

I swerve the engine
The balance disappears
While I'm sleeping
I'm scoring the angels
Counting all the thousand days
There were so many tears
So many times
Wasting away
So what about the thousand days?
The thousand days
Thousand days

7. Headlong

I'm here
The ragged burden come to nothing, comfort go
We drift
I talk with you and hear you though you're never here
Hovering above me like a net
I'm terrified to look beyond the threat
I kill ambition while I can

I'm cold
I drag the beauty, black confetti swept away
Stumbling, we go blindly marching on
Bursting like a dream and now all gone
In time I know we'll fly again

Frail as ever, still the most severe
Haven't I surrendered everything now?
Naked in my cruellest waking fear
From the rages of the weightless sleep

"Who will catch him falling?" called the wind
"I will claim him," volunteered the grave
"Marry me forever," cried the bride
Said the orphan, "Who'll remember me?
Anyone at all?
Are you coming back?"

From the moment we were torn
Thrown into the tunnel, we withdrew
Whiter colours then untied
Don't desert me now, I'm coming through

I fought the memory of beautiful things
Imaginings
The only strength I got from wanting you
All the love I've been needing
The hunger is feeding on me
Spirit, bear me away
To the place of birth

You, you put the fear in
The fear of flying
The breath of dying
You want a sign
You want a sign
It's already there

8. Dans Le Parc Du Chateau Noir

It burns when it's died
Runs down my side
Before the dawn
Robs me of the dark
I will remember
I never ever
Thought for one second
It would take me over underwater
(help, help, help)
