Lyrics: That wasn't what I meant to say When I spoke to you the other day I meant to tell you, 'Goodbye' I meant to tell you the reason why I am headed for a dead end And right now I could use a good friend But you wouldn't give me the time of day You wouldn't even remember The colour of my eyes ... That wasn't what you should have said When you whispered in my ear You made me love you more than anything And I still see it everywhere The colour of your eyes.

Scimitar (free) 05:20
Lyrics: I can't tell you how much I want to get into your pants. I can't tell you how much I want to get into your bed. I can't tell you how much I want to get into your pants. I can't tell you how much I want to get into your head. ... I will carve your heart from your breast with my scimitar, My precious jewel of the East. Your body flayed and splayed by the heathen altar, The centrepiece of the feast. The centrepiece of the feast.

A Clean Slate (free) 02:50
Lyrics: I wanna tear off the page, Start with a clean slate. I wanna tear of the page, And start again with a clean slate. A clean slate. Just like a knife blade. Just like a knife blade, cutting through your heart. Cutting through your soul. Cutting down your ego. Tear off the page, and start again with a clean slate. A clean slate. Like a knife blade. Like a knife blade.

Lyrics: Reality is subjective. Everyone's individual reality is based on their own perception, Which is, amongst other things, a series of connections in the brain. When these connections are crossed, misplaced or missing, Perception is skewed, And thus the individual reality is Changed.

Seventeen (free) 04:22
Lyrics: When you're walking, And your feet won't stop their dragging on the ground, And your talk, it seems, Will never interest anyone around, Take a breath, take the time, To be excited by the sky, And take a chance, dear, 'Cause no-one ever notices the shy - I know. And if you've drifted, 'Cause you couldn't fight the current for all you swam, And you're drowning, 'Cause no-one on the shore will lend a hand, Take it easy, lay on back Enjoy the ocean while you can. 'Cause you know land, is inhabited by people, Who will make it as hard as they can, But that doesn't mean it isn't worth a try. So if you're crying, 'Cause no-one ever notices you smile, Paint each leaf that falls in Autumn, And you'll feel better in a while. Your family love you, 'Though they know exactly how to make you cry, And friends can seem cruel, When they're having such much fun it makes you sigh. But don't worry, They'll all be with you 'til the day you die. So if you look, at yourself, And often ask the mirror, "Why am I so sad?" That's ok, 'cause you're only seventeen. It's ok, 'cause there's so much left to live for. It's ok, 'cause there's so much left to Do-do-doo-doo-do. It's ok, it's alright, 'Cause there's so long before, The End.

Lyrics: When everything is falling apart, And the message from my heart, Is passing over you. And the things you want so bad, Take over everything you had, Leaves you needing more. All the girls you never kissed, Oh, so much you have missed, Falling to the floor. Passing over you (me), Seeping into you (me), Falling to the floor, Leaves you needing more and more.

Hell Bending (free) 05:33
Lyrics: Abandon the Temple Abandon Hope Abandon Tomorrow Abandon Yourself Surrender The Storm is beginning The Storm is here Surrender Abandon Heaven Abandon Grace Abandon the struggle Surrender Atomic God Artificial Heart The Storm is here Blood Terror Abandon God Ascend Death Darkness Abandon Flesh The Dead walk Abandon the Temple ... Darkness (We're Hell bending) Death (We're Hell bending) Sin (We're Hell bending) Darkness.

Lyrics: Thyr, Mir, Arash, Doya. Earth, Air, Fire, Water. I call the Angels down from Above. I summon Daemons up from Below. (Hang on... no, no "Nemesis! WTF are you doing here?" I've... I've gotta get out... get away) Mikael I'm sorry, I let you down, I spat your name and I stole your crown. I sold my soul to The Devil, And made you watch me Revel, In lost delights and fancied flights, But now I'm back the field is level. I offer you my open wrist, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't resist. Accept my blood and please forgive me, I want you by my side, stay with me. Stay with me.

Lyrics: Those who hold a bi-polar view of the universe: Choose Dark over Light. It's the obvious choice. Darkness is comforting. It is tranquil. It is The Womb. Whilst Light is harsh and relentless, Aggressive and stark, Those who follow the path of Darkness Cross no-one. They lurk quietly in the shadows, and deal Only with what comes their way. Hidden and silent, they do not confront the world, But sit back and watch the madness unfold With a slightly amused turn of the mouth. Those who follow the Light feel compelled To force it down everyone's throat. "The Dark are lost, and must be saved. Ultraviolet aggression must purge all Who do not follow the way." Vehemently, they will stop at nothing Until every last shadow is erased. Yet this is impossible in a bi-polar system. The presence of Light creates Darkness In the corners where it is absent. In a bi-polar system the choice is obvious: Darkness. It is easy, it is accessible, and it feels good. It feels right. Yet there is more to Life than Black and White. There are Colours. I see Purple, Green and Orange. It's a start. ... Darkness Darkness (It feels good) Darkness (It feels right) ... Gabriel, Gabriel Gabriel, take me back To a time before White and Black. Gabriel, let the colours fortify my mind. Oh, Gabriel, let the colours fortify my mind. My mind. My mind. Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel. I am so tired. So tired. Gabriel, take me back.

Mind Soul Dark Light (free) 09:21
Lyrics: I saw a widow And I wanted to take off her veil For the sun Had never shone on a lovelier face I saw a river And I wanted to fly away For the sun Had never shone on a lovelier day I see the light And I often like to change my mind I see a way And I tear it all apart Just to find That hollow meaning In the deepest Fortress of the night I see through the mist Spectres looming before me My body's out of control Climbing around on the ceiling Limbs succumb to atrophy A blackened heart and lung Feed on my apathy Drag me back to the start My mind hides away In the darkness While my soul Swims around in the light

Mirages (free) 05:14
Lyrics: I tried my best to see through your eyes, I tried my best to understand, Changing mirages in the desert, Shifting colours in the sand. I looked inside, and saw emotion, But what it was, I couldnt tell. Above the sky, beneath the water, A ragged pearl inside a shell. I tried to walk, and I stumbled. I tried to run, and I flew. You left me nothing here to stand on, And I am falling without you. Love is tender when moments like this come and go, I'm on a bender, I don't know which way I should turn. Love is hard when it burns in a tar blackened lung, But love is all that I need... All that I need is a rest from your burning desire. We get up in the morning and day turns to night. All I want is your body with me in the livingroom, But you want my mind in the grip of your bed. But either way, it all works out in the end, Cos I know there's a hole in your soul I could mend, If we just stuck together 'til the very end, Would we ever make it back? I hear you screaming "Please, get out of my head, Cos you know there's a soul in my hole you could mend", If we just tear apart til we bleed out the poison, I know we'll make it Everyone's lonely all of their lives, But we can help each other get through the night, If you looked in my eyes, you'd see I was right, When I swore at the end of this song, you'd have me Singing... Us and our love are the answer, for a world of pain. And us and our love are the sunset at the end of the day, Us and our love were the answer, but you threw it away.

Hold On (free) 06:44
Lyrics: Oh, lord you've got to... hold on Oh, lord you've got to... hold on Oh, lord you've got to... hold on to your dreams, Before they wake you... Oh, lord you've got to... fight on Oh, lord you've got to... fight on Oh, lord you've got to... fight on for your dream, Before they take you... Well, it's hard to get along, When you're lonely, in a world of love. And it's hard to be strong, When you're holding on to a world of pain. But hold on... You ever thought that there was something missing? I had it once then I lost it in the alley. Now, I feel alright but I don't feel like I used to, I feel alright, but I don't feel like I should. Now every night I buy a bottle o' whiskey, And every night I down a bottle o' blues. Every night I wonder if I'll call you, And every night the phone rings, and it's you, love. I don't know why I've gotten so unused to The sound of words coming out of my mouth. I don't know why I've gone and abused you... You were my life, my lover, my green-eyed come-down. Now I feel alright, but I don't feel like I used to. I feel alright, but I don't feel like I should... Hair cut, new shoes, soft spoken, no blues. He walk, he run, he gather, no noose. She try, she try, she try, cut loose. She try, but he won't, he won't, he won't Break away, break away, save the pain, No blues. Break away, break away, hair cut, no noose. No noose, no blues, hair cut, no money. Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on.

Totally Insane (free) 01:38
Lyrics: Is it such a crime? If I just speak what's on my mind, Remaining relatively blind to Consequences vile or sublime. I keep loosely with the Rhythm Cos I got a yellow ribbon Tied round in my gut Where I splutter my inanity. I talk about Insanity Cos that's where my mind's at, Doctor Seuss or a sheep? A purple cat or Meryl Streep? I don't dig gossip but I never keep my trap shut. Hypocrite to the bone Tut-tut mouse trap. Tut-tut mouse trap. Rambling and disseminating Comes to the fore When I've had a coupla beers Or some weed to the core. I like to keep it simple But I got a lotta baggage, Makes it kinda awkward when I trip, Standing in the carriage. Standing in the carriage. Trains are not my game Cos I don't dig the rails. Gotta stay a bit insane And try varying your trails. Paths collide when intersecting Rhythms hide, in the deepest Depths of the murky Dark Abyss. But Bliss is a signal Carried straight to the heart When you start to get a tingle And your lips move apart. Loving not hating Is the name of the game, Bring it back to the frame, This is totally Insane. Totally Insane. Totally. Insane.

A Change Of Perception (free) 12:24
Lyrics: Before you fall asleep today I have to tell you how I feel So hollow, empty, alone But happy To be Sitting on the floor While these rays of light From my cigarette Are bouncing around in my head I think of nothing Cos I'm a soundwave Floating along in the air And I need a way to get back again Cos I have travelled over mountains And drifted in the sea But I can't even remember How the earth feels at my feet So far below The earth turns at my feet So far away The earth turns at my feet So far above me The earth turns at my feet So far below The earth turns at my feet So far away The earth turns at my feet And I'm getting tired of waiting Waiting for your love I'm waiting for your love I waded through the river Searching for my soul I waited half an hour But you never showed Me the way to heaven You only gave me money For a ferry ride to take Me away Across the river (And I need a way to get back) Cos when I die I want to live Beside the ocean But while I live, I want Anything but pain So I fly amongst Angels carrying sickles And I keep a coin or two For the ferry Methamphetamine dreaming of a forest in the air I don't want to be seeing things, but I can only stare And all I hear is the rhythm of the beat dancing through my mind And all I know is the answer to a question I can't find And all I feel is the rushing of the blood pumping down the hall And all I have is this moment, but I have to have it all Hazy light, and a silhouetted figure in the dark If you would only show yourself, there's so much I could ask: What If I didn't have a body? Floating along in an Amniotic world I've created out of my own fear Of being born at all What if my dreams were all synthetic? What if my waking life was a picture? Seeing the world through pixelated eyes What if i'm really going crazy? Asking these questions that only make me Realise the world is so much more than I Could ever really understand ... And what if this party's all a memory Confused with my present state of mind? And what if the girl i met last night was my Imagination running wild? I know I can answer all these questions If I only end my self obsession I know i command the fortress of my mind But there's a rebellion going on It's just a change of perception.

about

This is 21 of The Peach Tree's best tracks so far. I generally work on a conceptual album basis but if you're the "single" type of music consumer look no further for what I consider the best of the best as of Valentine's Day 2012. No pun about singles and Valentines intended.
