Lyrics for Song: For One Moment 
Lyrics for Album: Violent Silence [1998]
  
               
  24137>The hurt I hurt
  Is nothing like
  The hurts I've hurt before
  The things I feel
  Do not feel
  Like things I've felt before
 
 
  And the loneliness and the emptiness
  And the hopelessness are fine
  'Cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers
  For one moment you were mine
 
 
  The pain that pains
  Is not the pain
  That pained my heart before
  The tears I tear
  Are not the tears
  My eyes have teared before
 
 
  And the loneliness and the helplessness
  And the uselessness are fine
  'Cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers
  For one moment you were mine
 
 
  Just Good Friends
  Drawing back the curtains
  Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon
  Here's that special silence
  Just before you walk out of the hotel room
  Each time we're so close I assume
  That we'll never be again
  Oh, how long must we pretend?
 
 
  A casual affair
  Was all that you could spare
  From your emotional change
  A calendar of greetings
  Strangers on the street
  The best we've ever arranged
 
 
  Now I just can't stand all the pain
  All the constant break and mend
  Oh, how long can we pretend
  That we're just good friends?
 
 
  I gave you my devotion
  Hiding nothing up my sleeve
  If I walked clean out of your life
  Would you even notice me?
  So much tangled up emotion
  Should I stay or should I go?
  If I walked clean out of your life
  How long would it take you to know?
  Are we such good friends?
 
 
  And how sordid this has become
  As the means approach the end
  And how long can we pretend?
 
 
  I gave my devotion
  Hiding nothing up my sleeve
  If I walked clean out of your life
  Would you even notice me?
  So much tangled up emotion
  Should I stay or should I go?
  If I walked clean out of your life
  How long would it take you to know?
  If I walked clean out of your life
  How long would it take you to know?
  Are we still good friends?
 
 
  Untitled
  Out on the street again
  Playing with the rain
  And a friend is walking away
  Life in a strange hotel
  And an endless hell
  Thinking of things I wanted to say
 
 
  We over-played the game
  And we're playing with pain
  And the black inside is turning white with the rain
  And the smiles are down
  And the feelings are fine
  It's hard to make the sun shine
 
 
  Its such a shame
  When I'm out in the rain
  All the curtains are closed
  Its a sad scene I know
  I try not to care
  That I'm going nowhere
  See it slide down the drain
  Washed away with the rain
 
 
  I'm walking in the night
  And I feel like a tiger loose
  In a room full of fools
  And its hurting inside
  This feeling of pride
  Looking for somewhere to run and hide
  Life's on a merry-go-'round
  Its the same old sad sound
  And its happened again as it happened before
  And the smiles are down and the feelings are fine
  It's hard to make the sun shine
 
 
  Its such a shame
  When I'm out in the rain
  All the curtains are closed
  Its a sad scene I know
  I try not to care
  That I'm going nowhere
  See it slide down the drain
  Washed away with the rain
 
 
  Only the lonely need to be lonely
  Learn to be lonely, try to be lonely
  Somebody told me only the lonely
  Only the lonely need to be lonely
  Love to be lonely, try to be lonely
  Somebody told me only the lonely
  I'm such a lonely boy
 
 
  Almost Diamonds
  You kissed my grateful skin
  And left a chain of bites and bruises
  I'm sorry when you grin
  Almost diamonds for the losers
  I'll swim inside your tears
  And wander through your rooms of silence
  The motive crystal clear
  Your tongue is love
  And your heart is violence
 
 
  Almost Diamonds
  Scratched perfection
  Almost diamonds
  Tears in glycerine
 
 
  I spied you kissing her
  You faked your love
  My broken brother
  Everybody burn
  Secrets spill and smiles are smothered
  You have to roll the dice
  Pain is two
  And fire is sixes
  Vengeance feels nice
  I know the shine
  Behind your tricks is
 
 
  Almost diamonds
  Scratched perfection
  Almost diamonds
  Tears in glycerine
 
 
  Who would have thought
  It would end like this
  You gave a stranger
  A dangerous kiss
  Now your pretty eyes
  Say these precious lies
  We're just beautiful imitations
 
 
  They were
  Almost diamonds
  Scratched perfection
  Almost diamonds
  Tears in glycerine
 
 
  Catch our teardrops
  As they fall
  You know we nearly
  Had it all
  Fallen tears of glycerine
  Gone is all of what we dream
  Almost diamonds
  Scratched perfection
  Dark reflections
  Love won't find us
  Only in dreams
 
 
  Barriers
  Barriers
  Searching through the memory books
  Of photographs your lovers took
  Why play the game of place the pain
  When you end up feeling just the same
  Anyway...
 
 
  Sleep comes so slowly now
  So hard to keep the eyelids down
  And you're hoping soon to drown the sound
  Of a voice you know that whispers in
  Your mind...
 
 
  Oh, it was a sad, sad day
  The day you turned away
  And there was nothing in your eye
  You had told me once you found it impossible
  To cry...
 
 
  I know you've been there and back
  I've been there too
  But it was never really deep in you
  To do those things you had to do...
 
 
  And in your sleepy bedroom eyes
  I saw the signs
  And I lay awake all night
  In the cold
  Until the light burned my side
  And there was nothing
  There was nothing anymore...
 
 
  And there was nothing
  Not a feeling
  As you glanced back from the door...
 
 
  Move away to find another place
  That illustrates your point of view
  Surrounded by the little things
  That re-assure
  That reflect you...
 
 
  Ooooo and there was nothing
  And there was nothing in my heart
  And there was nothing in my head
  The light in your eyes is changing all the time
  And I still have your smile
  Burned into my mind...
