Apology By John Carter

Every night a party
Every day a masquerade
Where the makeup never changes
And the beauty never fades

A raven silhouette
Set against a neon sun
Never settle down
Get your loving on the run

I could never hold you down
I would never even try
I could never ground a bird
Which was clearly meant to fly

So, if my friend is true
And if my heart is real
I will take no more from you
For you are not mine to steal...

Refresh My Memory By John Carter

Memories fade away
Dreaming of the day
I'll have you back again

Been a long, long time
Since Hollywood and Vine
Will you take me there again?

It's been three months
In these crowded rooms
Dreaming only
Of someday soon
When you'll come back to me
Refresh my memory

How to deal with life
Underneath the knife
Will you teach me how again?

We'll give it a try
Maybe find out why
We could go around again

It's been three months
In these crowded rooms
Dreaming only
Of someday soon
When you'll come back to me
Refresh my memory

Makeup hides the years
And laughter hides your tears
But how am I to blame?

Reveries paper thin
To hide your tiger skin
Will it all turn out the same?

It's been three months
In these crowded rooms
Dreaming only
Of someday soon
When you'll come back to me
Refresh my memory

My precious memory...

Dissection By John Carter

I wanna take you apart
I just don't know where to start
Inside your mind
This noose unwinds

Die
Die
Die
Dissection
A cold reflection
Now that I know the truth inside
Running away from what you hide
Now that I know
Now that I know
Dissection

I wanna know who you are
I wanna see through the star
I need to find
Your world, unkind

Die
Die
Die
Dissection
A cold reflection
Now that I know the truth inside
Running away from what you hide
Now that I know
Now that I know
Dissection

I wanna know what makes you tick
I wanna know what made you sick
I wanna know
I wanna know

Dissection
Reveals deception
And if you hide yourself from me
And you reject reality

I wanna know what makes you tick
I wanna know what made you sick
I wanna know
I wanna know

Die
Die
Die
Dissection...

Wake Up By John Carter

Night falls down
Across your face
Features fade
Without a trace

Wordless whispers
In quiet dreams
In this darkness
The silence screams

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and know me
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and set me free

Moving pictures
In darkened rooms
Streaks of color
In seamless gloom

Wild tangents
Crossing lines
Twisted figures
In violent times

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and know me
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and set me free

Wake up
Wake up and know me
Wake up
Wake up and hold me
Down
