Lyric to Closure / Continuation [Full Album 2022] by Porcupine Tree

Tracklist: 01. Harridan [Verse 1] Gold man bites down on a silver tongue Takes a deep breath and blows the candle out He knows the truth but he keeps it to himself Here it is You can only save yourself Only yourself [Chorus] When we bite the dust We will hide our cuts from the world When you're in the dirt You don't show your hurt to the world [Verse 2] Cold man, white knuckles on the wheel Well it's all just there to steal You just gotta take it Take it like the harridan you are [Chorus] When we bite the dust We will hide our cuts from the world When you're in the dirt You don't show your hurt to the world [Bridge] It's the time of the almost rain without you I am in debt to night And gone to earth for love And I, a shadow And what of us? And what of me? And what is left without you? [Instrumental] [Chorus] When we bite the dust We will hide our cuts from the world When you're in the dirt You don't show your hurt to the world [Bridge] It's the time of the almost rain without you I am in debt to night And gone to earth for love And I, a shadow And what of us? And what of me? And what is left without you? 02. Of The New Day [Verse 1] Hold your fear in check my dear It's got no place here There's no need to fight Just drift away on the new day Find yourself a better way To meet the future It's all that you crave A silhouette of the new day [Verse 2] Walk away from what you love And all your people move into fog But live again on the new day Raise your head and fill your lungs Breathe the autumn Shame to be down In this thrall of the new day [Chorus] The hour of almost rain When night becomes the day [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Daily finds you tearing out All thе pages That held all your thoughts When you drеam of the new day It's not the world that shrinks from you It's the old days that line up behind The monolith of the new day [Chorus] The hour of almost rain When night becomes the day 03. Rats Return [Verse 1] Leave your principles at the door Spare me Purge your guilt for the nameless hoards Thrill me you clown [Chorus] You always beat the system somehow Now the rats return to take their bow [Verse 2] A dog wakes inside the carnivore A heart bleeds A conscience won't help you to win the war So fool me you fraud [Chorus] You always beat the system somehow Now the rats return to take their bow [Bridge] Genghis K Pinochet Mao Tse Tung Kim Il-Sung [Instrumental] 04. Dignity Lost boy, with the shreds of your shoes on your feet And the schoolgirls call you a freak Long gone, with all that you are in a bag (Watching you fumble) And a paper cup held in your hand You have your pride, you're standing your own ground Your dignity will never go, and your mind is pretty sound You stare at the sun, you screw up your face and Then you're done Lost soul, camped at the side of the road And the rain rises up through your toes Brave man, with the egg running down past your nose (The future was yours, how it came down to this no one knows) All the troubles you've had no one knows (Nobody knows) You have your pride, you're standing your own ground Your dignity will never go, and your mind is pretty sound You stare at the sun, you screw up your face and Then you're done [How sigh?], when the traffic cowers And the past begins to fade away Tell yourself it's just what the thunder said So pack up your belongings and start talking with yourself All the friends I had, I made you a list Even if it's true they don't all exist (All the friends I had, I made you a list Even if it's true they don't all exist) Slackjaw, will you tell me of all that you were? And the promises you made to her? Drink up, you can tell me of all that you've seen While we wait for the light to turn green You have your pride, you're standing your own ground Your dignity will never go, and your mind is pretty sound You stare at the sun, you screw up your face and Then you're done 05. Herd Culling Son, go fetch the rifle now I think there's something in the yard I can see the herd is getting rattled And the dogs are on their guard Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar Well, we came to make a home here But there's something in the trees We bolt the door, chain the gate, secure the homestead But it's never gonna leave Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar The wolf is at the door somehow The culling of thе herd is now The wolf is at the door somеhow The culling of the herd is now The wolf is at the door somehow The culling of the herd is now The wolf is at the door somehow The culling of the herd is now Hey, did you curse this base? Did you fall to earth to cull a herd? Strange gods above the earth These are things you just won't believe In the shackles of the night There are lights up in the sky Scratching at the doors They are coming through the walls Twenty feet above the ground They move without a sound Among the garbage cans A curse upon the land Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar 06. Walk The Plank This ship is now underwater And the rats will never find their way back again And my span, it gets shorter (One, two, three) And I don't appear to fit in my skin anymore Somewhere else descends the rainy western waves Upon the echo of the day Just the echo of the day See how they hang ’em high And slap each other's backs while the waters rise Somewhere else descеnds the rainy western wavеs Upon the echo of the day Just the echo of the day Walk the plank, abandon ship Take it slow, don't lose your grip Walk the plank and jump out of the fray [Unint. muttering] Walk the plank, abandon ship (Unint.) Take it slow, don’t lose your grip (Unint.) Walk the plank and jump out of the fray (Unint.) One, two, three 07. Chimera's Wreck A coat of arms is all we are The slow decay, dying star A sinkhole for the crawling of the hours Afraid to be (afraid to be) what I should be (what I should be) The sum of all (the sum of all), of new and old (of new and old) Experience has made me none the wiser I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die, oh (Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, doooo) Chimera's wreck around my neck To start again, to dream again To fix the things that cursed me from the start My father smiles (my father smiles); me, the child (me, the child) Getting tired (getting tired), losing drive (losing drive) The clarity that age has brought to me [Unint.] for tomorrow [Unint.] when the rain comes, we can still find [any?] future in tomorrow I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die Ohhh I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa (Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo) (Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo) (Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo) (Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo) [Here's?] the things I did with my kids [Here's the way I loved and I kneeled?] [Here's?] the things I did with my kids [Here's the way I loved and I kneeled?] I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die Wash up on the shore Don't need you no more Chimera wreck will slip into the [bottle wreck?] Wash up on the shore Don't need you no more Chimera wreck will slip into the [bottle wreck?] Wash up on the shore Don't need you no more Chimera wreck will slip into the [bottle wreck?] 08. Population Three[Instrumental] 09. Never Have [Chorus] You need but you'll never have You dreamed, but you never had a chance to be What you wanna be You grasp but you never hold You ask but you're never told 'Cause the truth hurts This is the modern world [Pre-Chorus] So you bide your time With your fate resigned To be paid in kind [Chorus] You reach but you you never get You breathe but you never let the past go Do you ever learn? You search but you never find You hurt but you nevеr try to face facts This is the modern world [Bridge] So you bidе your time With your fate resigned To be paid in kind When the flashbulb dies And the humdrum thrives Do you lose your pride? [Chorus] You need but you'll never have You dreamed, but you never had the chance to be What you wanna be You grasp but you never hold You ask but you're never told 'Cause the truth hurts This is the modern world 10. Love In The Past Tense [Verse 1] Hundred rooftops stretch Across a crowded skyline in relentless melt The smog and cigarettes Poisoning the well for those below alone [Verse 2] You beautiful young soul I bend to you forever and I trust in you I lose all self-control Lay the nest with feathers, wave goodbye to youth (Love in the past tense) [Chorus] Falling back to earth We get what we deserve Strength to split the sky What is born will die in timе Love in the past tensе [Verse 3] We always end up here (We always end up here) Where nothing feels the same and all our dreams capsize We ran out of ideas (We ran out of ideas) And hold each other's promise for one final time (Love in the past tense) [Chorus] Falling back to earth We get what we deserve Strength to split the sky What is born will die in time Love in the past tense [Outro] (Love in the past tense) (Love in the past tense) (Love in the past tense) (Love in the past tense)
