about

Bit of a dark one this. The oldest of the tracks on this album. The video captures the essence of it in an unhinged sort of way.

lyrics

There’s something strange about the way I feel tonight
I’m freaking out while the whole world goes to sleep
It’s not the drugs it must be my insanity
I’m self destructing to rid myself of me
I’m on the first train out of here
I’m not welcome in this town
You don’t see the things I see
Because you’re not the same as me
You don’t want the things I need
You don’t bleed the way I bleed
There’s people staring
Their thoughts cut me like a knife
They want it all from me my heart my soul my life
I’m on the first train out of here
I’m not wanted in this town
You don’t see the things I see
Because you’re not the same as me
You don’t want the things I need
You don’t bleed the way I bleed
You don’t see the things I see
I see ghosts in front of me
You don’t want the things I need
You don’t bleed the way I bleed
I hear myself cry from somewhere deep inside
And there’s silence all around
I’m heading underground
I’m on the first train out of here
I'm not welcome in this town
You don’t see the things I see
Because you’re not the same as me
You don’t want the things I need
You don’t bleed the way I bleed
You don’t see the things I see
I see ghosts in front of me
You don’t want t he things I need
You don’t bleed the way I bleed
You don’t bleed you don't bleed you don't bleed

Dance of the Furies (instrumental) features as one of NTL Music Radio's top 100 albums of the year (2012).

Enigmatic long player, Welcome To The Ball is due for release under record label Mask Carnival in 2015. ... more
