Info:
The LP version was originally released in Europe on Repo Records in 2004.
Tracks "Happy Birthday", "Horror Show", "Video Kid" and "The Dream" are all somewhat reworked versions of their equivalents on the band's previous album Nothing and Nowhere.
Videos for both "Blue" and "Nevermind" were produced. "Blue" is an elaborate story-based video while "Nevermind" is a straightforward performance video, both of which were released on the "Blue DVD".
Although the track list on the CD labels the final track as "Nevermind," if burned on iTunes, the track will be titled "Neverland."
The band recorded a cover of The Neverending Story theme for the album, but left it off after not being pleased with the final result. The only existing version of the song is a low quality mp3 that can be found on P2P file sharing systems, or on their original EP under the name Imagica.
On the 2004 release of Violet, Adm is pictured in the booklet as the keyboardist. On the 2005 re-release, he is removed from the booklet picture because he had left the band by that time.

Album: Imagica (Demo 1)
Year: 2000
Length: 4:38
Lyrics:
A voice moves silent through
the twisted city streets
The eyes from tangled gardens peer
He grins a broken smile
Through shattered teeth
he brings the darkest time of year
And he will save us now
And he will take us underground
Where we'll never be bound by love
Or the nightmares above
The night of dreams when
Things are not as they may seem
Before the day we'll never know
He will take us while we're sleeping
And he will never let us go
And he will save us now
And he will take us underground
And here we'll never be bound by love
Or the nightmares above
We follow the sound,
It's leading us down,
Into the kingdom of under.
We're lost and we're found
We're nothing and nowhere
Forever and ever

Year: 2000
Length: 5:11
Lyrics:
I think it happened at nighttime
A cold rain drizzled down from space
Hiding tears from streetlight eyes
I saw the same familiar face
Something pseudo TV love
A mixed up girl who's something of
A fairytales romantic dream come true
She breaks my heart and blurs my eyes
Her love is never easy
A magic made for tragic minds
And thinking back I should have known
That she could see right through me
And I would end up on my own
Gazing through my window
She glittered like the starlit rain
Whispering tales of broken hearts
She told me things would never change
There was only so much words could say
We closed our eyes and dreamed away
And for a time our love was almost real
She breaks my heart and blurs my eyes
Her love is never easy
A magic made for tragic minds
And looking back I should have known
That she could see right through me
And I would end up on my own

She can't afford to come off
hard cause she's too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver in this cold
She's too cold to shiver
All the hands along the wall
Taking time to break her fall
Minds divide the heart in two
Empty as the shadows walking over you
Over you
She's walking over you
Breaking the fall over you

No affection, just shut her up
She can't afford to make it
hard cause she's too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver in this cold
She's too cold to shiver
All the eyes behind the wall
Taking time to watch her crawl
Broken hearts are never true
Empty as the shadows walking over you

Watching her crawl over you

Length: 3:59
Lyrics:
He puts the gun to her head
She tells him everything
Her voice is haunted like a dream
He sews the crack in his heart
Before he tears her apart
In the basement underneath
He says,
Never say no to me
He burns her high school pictures
And buries old dreams
He reads her diary once more
He cleans the tears from her eyes
He still can't stand to see her cry
Her face is broken and sore
He says,
Never say no to me

Lyrics:
Five glasses changed my mind.
Seems like the ticking hands are taking their time.
I guess I've been at home for longer than it takes to unwind,
So slap me if I step out of line.
Now in smaller spaces, careless lust intoxicated.
Away from prying eyes and rabid smiles and everythings shattering.
My invitation was involuntary dilation and now I cant recall your name.
I think we've met before
It was last christmas on our parent's accord
You where the young man in the costume that was hard to ignore
And I was feeling hopelessly bored...
Now you're conversations scholarships and occupations.
You look so different than before when... Never mind... Anyway...
This reckless violation, tarnishing my reputation
Has left me nothing kind to say

It's getting late
It all just wanes and pales and fades away
If we just want it too much
And what a shame
If all there is is all that's gone away
There's nothing left here for us
Deadlight holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window like the morning rain
It's all the same
So many words remaining
Always too late
It never seems worth taking
And all the days
And all the nights lost sleeping
And in the end
The secret's not worth keeping
Deadlight holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays

I think my friend said, "I hear footsteps."
I wore my black and white dress to the
Birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday
I wore my black and white dress
I think my friend said, "Stick it in the back of her head."
I think my friend said, "Two of them are sisters."
"I'm a murder tramp, birthday boy", I think I said
"I'm gonna bash them in, bash them in", I think he said
Then we wished them all a happy birthday
We kissed them all goodnight. Now he chases me to my room
Chases me to my room, chases me
In my black and red dress
I think my friend said, "Don't forget the video."
I think my friend said, " Don't forget to smile."

It never crossed my mind that one so young could hope to find a power greater than my own"
She never did what they told her to
And they'll never see her dream come true
The edge of revelation, believing all the stories told
A final moment taken before this story's end unfolds
It said "you're not the first to dream this, little girl
You know it's never happened once in this world
It never crossed my mind that one so young could hope to find a power greater than my own"
She never did what they told her to
And they'll never see her dream come true
Now she flies over clouds in twilight skies
Nothing to bind her, no one will find her this high
Far above the rainy weather
All plans have come together
And for the first time she feels just fine

Her glorious intentions, a sea of doubt beneath her own

Next phase, next craze, next nothing new
Got the pretty boy beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two
Turned him into a video kid like you
I know you're just pretending death
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break
Shot the pretty boy killed him on commodore
Need a new game, need a new something more
Got a new face got a new way to score
Got a voice like something I've heard before
The message misleading
We're lying, we're cheating
We're only repeating
The motions preceding

Lyrics:
Plastic blue invitations in my room.
I've been waiting here for you.
Reservations made for two.
Sunlight fading.
Black toungues speak faster than the car can crash.
You supply the rumours and I'll provide the wrath.
Romance is breaking every heart in two.
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue.
Plastic blue conversations in my room.
Saving every tear for you.
Trusting every word untrue.
Twilight fading.
Fate changes faster than the death of light.
You provide the envy and I'll provide the spite.
Reflections cutting every face in two.
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue.

Lyrics:
And boys are so cold
They speak without meaning
The only time they talk is in their sleep
And girls are a bore
Their touch without feeling
Their secrets always far too grim to keep
And up until now
You've lived in their shadows trying hard to please them
But they'll never change
As long as they're breathing
Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our plastic hearts will wonder why
The makeup just won't hide the scars of time
And boys are so cruel
So don't let them find you...tonight
And girls are so vain
So put them behind you...tonight
I'll cast you a spell
A magic where everyone plays dead forever
And after tonight
They'll never remind you...
Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our plastic hearts will wonder why
The makeup just won't hide the scars of time
Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our plastic hearts will wonder why
The makeup just won't hide the scars of time

Lyrics:
The tragic comedy divine
Paints the way to peace of mind
Leaving shallow lovers far behind
Past uncertainties combine
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes
Memory runs the course of time
Blood runs cold beyond
The violet prison for violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
We're never enough
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days
Within the heat of passion's war
Lust is spilled upon the floor
Staining red the wasted metaphor
The selfish need for something more
Claws in vain at closing doors
Scarring faces once adored
Tracing circles in the
Violet prison for violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
We're never enough
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days

They're getting ugly
They're a horror show
And now we're laughing because they'll never know
That they have everything
We give them all of our own and they tell us they're sick and they're all alone
They make fools of us together
But we always think of them
All their laughing and their talking and their wasting of our time
And it always hurts to see them now
That everything is different
We don't like to see their eyes cause they will never look the same
They shut the door
We fell far behind
We try forgiveness
But they cross the line
And now the moment has passed and we can't rewind
We are dead long before we run out of time
They make fools of us together
But we always think of them
All their laughing and their talking and their wasting of our time
And it always hurts to see them now

We don't like to see their eyes cause they will never look the same

I think my friend said "I hear footsteps"
I wore my black and white dress to the birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday
I wore my black and white dress
I think my friend said "stick it in the back of her head"
I think my friend said "two of them are sisters"
"I am a murder tramp, birthday boy", I think I said
"I'm gonna bash them in, bash them in", I think he said
Then we wished them all a happy birthday
We kissed them all goodnight
Now he chases me to my room, chases me to my room, chases me in my black and red dress
I think my friend said "don't forget the video"
I think my friend said "don't forget to smile"
"You're a murder tramp, murder tramp" I think he said

Leaving nothing but ashes below
It's only forever for a day
Tomorrow is burning away
Burn away
She's out of touch
He's out of time
They'll always live in the castle
The fading flowers
The passing hours
They fall like sand through the fingers

Sometimes there's a voice when I close my eyes
Sometimes I can't hear you speak

And you see right through me
This shouldn't last forever
You're so close
Now it's time to say goodbye
You wait for the sun in the morning
I'm waiting for rain
Sometimes you're too close when I close my eyes
For now you're quiet again
The story is over
You never wanted the same
Did you learn to take cover
Or are you running away?
And you see right through me
This shouldn't last forever
You're so close
Now it's time to say goodbye
Talk to me
This voice is the faintest I've heard in the longest time
Do you want to see this to the end?
You know, you know I do

And you just kept on pretending

I could never speak anyway
What you wanted to hear

We were just sinking too fast to save
The two of us
Whispering away
All the days that I've counted
You'll never know
All that I promised, you doubted
I told you so
Forget the words that were spoken
And thoughts erased
Let's burn the path that was chosen
Without a trace

Leaving nothing more, nothing left to say
Replacing every part of me

The promise just a shade of grey
Between the darkness and the light
Two hearts beating

Bleeds out from inside my window
Eyes white, I keep out of sight
This city's just not pretty like it used to be
It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream
The promise we made to kill the days between
They live in the heartbeat and sleep til the light is gone
It's been so long
Feels like pins and needles in my heart
So long
I can feel it tearing me apart
To the bed the left unsaid
Crawl in from outside my window
Hands red and cold as the dead
A pity they're not pretty like they used to be
It's always a nightmare, it's never a dream
The promise we made to kill the days between
They live in the heartbeat and sleep til the light is gone

There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever
I can't decide which one of us is dreaming tonight
I'm just a shadow in the light you leave behind

There's nobody here and no one to find you

Like a finger down the back of your throat
It's always empty in the house of every other

When you're not here to compromise?
Words fade as time goes by
Without you, without you
Fall to the floor
We're watching sideways
As day turns to night
Ghosts in the walls
Through empty doorways
Like we've always been here
The painted hallways

Are lost to you
How can you criticize
When you're not here to compromise?
Words fade as time goes by
Without you, without you
Fall to the floor
We're watching sideways
As day turns to night
Ghosts in the walls
Through empty doorways
Like we've always been here
The painted hallways
Forever and always
Are lost to you
How can you criticize
When you're not here to compromise?
Words fade as time goes by
Without you, without you
Without you, Without you
Without you, Without you
Without you, Without you
Pins And Needles: Shallow Grave Lyrics
Album: Pins And Needles
Year: 2010
Length: 3:47
Lyrics:
Her voice cuts through the walls
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow
She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day
Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking while she borrows
Her favors bought and sold
She is like she's dead tomorrow
Just another reason looking for the next because
Just another has been wishing that she never was
(Every back turned to her)
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day
Tomorrow's not a new day
Or time to think things through
As patience starts to fall away
A day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face
The past was out of view
She never fooled us because she could never fool herself
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets a bay every day

Lyrics:
Err on the side of caution
They're taking in the new girls
Two faced, too poised to shead a tear
No memory to speak of
Past in the night we didn't hear
The fading breath of your love
We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love, forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend: indifference
You are a child of priviledge
Your reputation leads you
All trace of light will disappear
You're falling into season
Their every word is insincere
There is no time for reason
We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love, forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend: indifference
Remember our childhood
It's not quite the same
A pale hue of new blood
They all know your name
We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love, forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend: indifference

Lyrics:
Repeating words until they're true
It slows the breathing
Pretend they never came from you
It kills the feeling
I'm not what you want
You said what I never could
We're falling apart
You said that we never would
It's not what I want
It's wearing you down
We're back where we started
No turning around
We're falling apart
I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want now
Before you walk, you'll learn to fall
Well stop and count to ten
We'll take these pictures off the wall
We'll stop and start again
I'm not what you want
You said what I never could
We're falling apart
You said that we never would
It's not what I want
It's wearing you down
We're back where we started
No turning around
We're falling apart
I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want
For always
Always
In always
Always
(Always)
We only go so far
It's not what I want for
(Always)
We only go so far
It's not what I want now
You're not in my heart
I'm wearing you down
I'm back where we started
No turning around
You're falling apart
I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want
For always
Always

Lyrics:
All these broken pieces left unglued
Should never find their way
Into the hands of someone like you
I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh I'm in the dark
Every minute shed is never mine
Frozen in this fog and hiding
Every second in time
I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh I'm losing my faith in every way
It points to you
Oh I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
Oh I'm in the dark
The more bleak the day
The less I behave as if
Everything black can wash away
Why can't I just trade a dream for a way
To peel back the shade behind the gray
I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh I'm in the dark

Lyrics:
Face them
The time will erase them
Stop trying to chase them
I've taken my place
And it's not worth the tears
I waited so long for this love
As another was slipping away
I waited so long for this moment
As the others were wasted
Cast a shade to save your eyes
Take this time to turn and say goodbye
Frozen
The words go unspoken
New victims are chosen
My heart may be broken
But so will my fear
I waited so long for this love
As another was slipping away
I waited so long for this moment
As the others were wasted
Cast a shade to save your eyes
Take this time to turn and say goodbye

Lyrics:
Lights out
Boys sleepwalking on the weekend
Black out
Two nights killing off a best friend
Fall out like soldiers walking off to the deep end
Hands out
Don't stop marching 'til the hearts rend
The time goes by
And sets the stage
They play their parts
And act their age
They never forget the lines that they say
Speaking slowly
I promise you one day
I promise you always
We'll make it out one day
I promise you always
Nights out
Girls keep on walking on the east end
White out
Two lights shining on a dead end
Drawn out
Like circles trailing off the pavement
Stand out
Don't stop marching 'til the hearts mend

Lyrics:
Look around for a means
To dissuade her attention
Can't remember the places
And names that she mentions
My words are falling apart in spite of me
I'm stepping out of the light
So she can't see
Don't think I'll miss her
But I want to take her picture
When I found a place
Where she can't find me
And she's falling asleep
As she's walking with strangers
Talking cheap
As the flies on the wall entertain her
Her world is falling apart in front of me
She's stepping into the light
But she can't see
It's hard to miss her
When she's posing for a picture
But I found a place
Where she can't find me
My words are falling apart in spite of me
I'm stepping out of the light
So she can't see
Don't think I'll miss her
But I want to take her picture

Lyrics:
Tighten your tie, boy
You're something to die for
But don't hold your breath now
You're just killing time
Tonight you can dream, boy
Imagine a whisper
If you can keep secrets
Then I'll tell you mine
Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to
Though it brings me to tears now
I need you to know
Look in my eyes, boy
Nothing like yours now
It seems that a lifetime
Is passing us by
So open your eyes...
This is forever but it won't last long
This is a memory that fades away in neverending
In the death of all
That's long been said and done before
We'll wish that we were something more
Stop wasting time, boy
You're late all your life, boy
They won't have the patience
For someone like you
Your memory's fading
I'll love you forever
I'll try to remember
I'll try to hold on
You're standing alone, boy
Waiting for dreams, boy
Waiting for something
To make them come true
Don't ever leave, boy
I'd miss you too much, boy
I'll never forget you
As long as I'm here

Lyrics:
It's safe to say I'm lonely now
A place called home
Is just a memory away
I know I've done this all before
A thousand silent voices
Begging me to stay
Apologies all left unsaid
Secrets better left unspoken
Dreams are slowly put to bed
Rumors stirred and reawoken
If I try to get away
How long until I'm free?
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?
It's safe to say there's nothing now
It's all so quiet but I
Can't forget the sound
A thousand voices call my name
A thousand hands that
Pull me back down to the ground
I turn away from what you are
Denying all that you have given
I find a place that's safe and far
In time all will be forgiven
If I try to get away
How long until I'm free?
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?
