I Started A Fire
I started a fire and i watched it grow
and now it burns out of control
i want you bad
i need you bad
i leapt off a precipace
and i'm falling into an abyss
for your love
i need your love
i want to see into your soul
fall into the unknown
i looked in your eyes ocean blue
and straight away my heart it know
you're the one
you're the one
your beauty leaves me mesmerised
in a waking dream i'm paralysed
i want your love
i need your love
i want to know
i want to hold
the girl who can't be owned
let into your soul
deep inside your mystery
a vow of secrecy
never let you go
thunder storms and summer rain
gothic gardens, hurricanes
this black heart i know so well
i'm bewitched, under your spell
i fear my life's unravelling
this grand illusion vanishing
all i need is you close to me
i have seen it in my dreams
you can set me free
if you say those words to me
i woke up i was stunned and blind
i just can't get you off my mind
say my name
say my name
we talked and talked under stormy skies
as cherubs let their arrows fly
i'm the one
i'm the one
i want to know
i want to hold
the girl who can't be owned
let into your soul
deep inside your mystery
a vow of secrecy
never let you go
she can't be owned
i want to know
i can't let go
i want to hold the girl who can't be owned...
You Can't Have It All
When I get high, you always bring me down
Everything I try hit the stony ground
Got me so confused and now you're feeling good
Ever changing moods, I don't know what I should do...
Scratches down my back, when we're making love
Give you all my time, but it's not enough
In and out of style, like the music scene
Feels like I'm living in a magazine
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Voices in your head, always doubting me
Paranoid distortions of reality
You tell me all the time that there's something wrong
But you never know what you really want
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it, you can't have it all
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
You...can't...have...it...all
You...can't...have...it...all
I'm losing my mind, it comes too easily
Blaming someone else for your misery
Walking on eggshells until you're feeling bad
This psycho drone is taking over my life
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it, you can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
Blacklisted
Blacklisted in this town
The change was undeniable
Fire and brimstone raining down
It feels unrecognizable
It's all ahead of you
You can't hold me responsible
You have to break the rules
You can be so predictable
All I once knew
Now is fading
Everything disintegrating
In the silence
Everlasting
Like a galaxy collapsing
Don't - be - afraid
Don't be afraid
I held on to your hand
It made me feel much better
You try to understand
You are my guilty pleasure
All the mistakes I've made
I got so self-destructive
You have to have some faith
Everyone gets corrupted
All I once knew
Now is fading
Everything disintegrating
In the silence
Everlasting
Like a galaxy collapsing
How'd you fade out
Out of contact
When you disapear on impact
When you break down
Playing too bad
If you leave now you can go back
Don't - be - afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Hold your faith
No, you can't surrender
You can no longer
At the end of certified standards
What doesn't kill you
Will make you stronger
When it gets you, you'll discover
So take courage
Take your chances
And one day you will find your answers
The world is spinning
On its axis
And your galaxy collapsing
Just can't defy it
Or at least deny it
You are born and you start dying
Though it all seems
Mystifying
All I know I can't stop trying
All I know I can't stop trying
All I know I can't stop trying
Polaris
Save me
I can't run this time
Am i under a spell?
Fighting for my life?
So far gone
Can't turn it round
I feel buried alive
I am screaming out
Terror in your eyes, your heart is racing
For the innocence we lost will not return
We know we can't go on
But we're still holding on
Don't let me be the one to drag you down
In the silence
In the lonely night
When you're frozen with fear
When you're paralysed
Too delicate
Your fragile mind
It's so hard to stay
In love with life
Terror in your eyes, your heart is racing
For the innocence we lost will not return
We know we can't go on
But we're still holding on
Don't let me be the one to drag you down
I was fighting at your side
a knowing partner in this crime
a beating heart, a distant star
We lost all we were fighting for
All the hurt i kept within
I blamed myself for everything
For all the regret that remains
For all the pain
Terror in your eyes, your heart is breaking
For the innocence we lost will not return
We know we can't go on
But we're still holding on
Don't let me be the one to drag you down
to drag you down...
Palace of Excess
Dancing with the trustafarian daughters
You and I know everything we've learned
Chasing our dreams we stole defeat
From the jaws of victory
Lord we crashed and burned
Suicide girls
suicide girls
Stay by my side tonight
stay by my side tonight
The empty promises in the palace of excess
We never stopped to face our past
The glory of rock n' roll
You gave both your heart and soul
Just to hang out with the band
Oh, yeah
Suicide girls
Suicide girls
Stay by my side tonight
Stay by my side tonight
End Of The World
Is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
i'm feeling low today
is this the latest fashion
what do the papers say
well then i'm bored already
i could die, would anybody really notice
i can't relate today
i've never felt so lonely
is this the modern world
maybe i'm dead already
that's the catch, it's such a beautiful confusion
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the wor-rrr-rld
ah-hh, ah-hh
i breathe the motorway
just for the sake of breathing
i turn the tv on
don't know what to believe in
uh ah, uh ah, uh uh uh, oh-hh yeah
uh ah, uh ah, uh
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
can hardly see the stars
there's too much light pollution
is this reality
or just some new illusion
that's the catch, it's such a beautiful confusion
that's the catch
it's - such - a - beautiful - confusion
i - can't - stand - it
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
is this the end of the world
the end of the world
ah-hh
is this the end of the world (this beautiful confusion)
is this the end of the world (this beautiful confusion)
is this the end of the world (this beautiful confusion)
is this the end of the world (this beautiful confusion)
ahh-hh
ahh-hh, ahh-hh
Ritual
Shame, walking out on you again
Fighting with demons that I can't contain
Walking on, but I want to turn and run
Through the empty streets
Back through the misty new year dawn light
Feel so lost
Can't take back all the pain and the damage I've caused
I'm not talking, I bury it within
Until it turns into a hell in my head
A hell in my head
Confess, in silent panic I suppress
The vulnerable emotions that I can't express
So open up, why do I feel so insecure
I'm lashing out
At the only thing I'm sure of
So alone
Trying to fit in this place but I just don't belong
I'm not talking, I bury it within
Until it turns into a hell in my head
A hell in my head
I'm not talking...
I'm not talking, I bury it within
Until it turns into a hell in my head
A hell in my head
I'm not breathing, I've got to hold it in
Until I free to leave this hell in my head
This hell in my head
So take this tears that stain my face
Take this fear and in it's place
Forgive the past, forget your doubts
Take these words and let them out
Shadows
In case I never get to see you again
I don't get time to work things out
No time to make amends
Went to my soul chasm
Of the great words left unsaid
For you have been a part of me
But if it were to end
I'm talking 'bout
Shadows, filling my heart and
Swallows chasing the dark
I gotta
Find you before too long
I gotta
Tell you what's been going wrong
What's been going wrong
All these feelings welling up
In a silent reservoir
In the dark recesses of my heart
I'm not the same person anymore
I can't look you in the eyes
No longer hold your gaze
I've been living in my head for months
How come these things change?
I'm talking 'bout
Shadows, filling my heart and
Swallows chasing the dark
I gotta
Find you before too long
I gotta
Tell you what's been going wrong
What's been going wrong
Talking 'bout
Shadows, filling my heart and
Swallows chasing the dark
I gotta
Find you before too long
I gotta
Tell you what's been going wrong about
Shadows, filling my heart and
Swallows chasing the dark
I gotta
Find you before too long
I gotta
Tell you what's been going wrong
What's been going wrong
What's been going wrong
What's been going wrong
Princess Six
My heart is a tempest, with blood and violency
Your love is the best, take me to the sea
A preminition, I pray for everyday
A fairytale ending, against the ecstasy.
My love has been denied
For the King has lost his mind
No mercy is received
For the cruel and jealous Queen
And I will never know
How it really feels
To be with the one
That I really need.
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Merely a darling
Precious majesty
Stolen enchantment
Sworn to secrecy
Have you forgotten?
The maiden of the jeans
She says they've found you
So run away with me.
My love has been denied
For the King has lost his mind
No mercy is received
For the cruel and jealous Queen
And I will never know
How it really feels
To be with the one
That I really need.
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
My love has been denied
For the King has lost his mind
No mercy is received
For the cruel and jealous Queen
And I will never know
How it really feels
To be with the one
That I really need.
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Out of my mind
'Cause I need your love
Dark and Stormy
The morning's pool of rain
i listen to the murmur
of the breaking waves
if you are afraid
if you feel uncertain
honey let me change your mind
on these summer days
dark and stormy ways
and captivate
those who came before me
i am captured by your gaze
drawn into the flames
and leave no trace
of one thing i am certain
i can't turn away
i can't turn away, oh
the morning hour goes by
which i don't invision
you're facing my mind, no-o
i am hypnotised
but i live for your beauty
leaves me mesmerised, oh-h
on these summer days
dark and stormy ways
and captivate
like those who came before me
i am captured by your gaze
drawn into the flames
and leave no trace
of one thing i am certain
i can't turn away
i can't turn away
can't turn away-ay-ay-ay
wah-oh, wa-ah-oh
wah-oh, wa-ah-oh
on these summer days
dark and stormy ways
and captivate
like those who came before me
i am captured by your gaze
drawn into the flames
and leave no trace
of one thing i am certain
i can't turn away
i can't turn away-ay
can't turn away
can't turn away-ay
i can't turn away
i can't turn away-ay
can't turn away-ay-ay-ay
wah-oh, wa-ah-oh
wah-oh, wa-ah-oh
yeah-ah, wa-ah-oh
yeah-ah, wa-ah-oh
Shattered Glass
The severed cows head floating at the bottom of the pool
A war is breaking out I must be leaving here soon
Eternal worlds oppression, submerged in death and gloom
Its dripping from the ceiling of this introverted room
A bridge of sighs, tell abstract lies
Are you making a mistake?
You're trying to figure out
A way through this dementia
Foaming at the mouth
My mind's like shattered glass
My skull is split in two
I'm staring at the pieces
I'm tryin to fix with glue
I will try for you
Eternal fire and logic, you awaken from your dreams
You change your course like lighting as I tumble from the wall
The projectionist lifts the curtain in the cinema within
The aisle is sealed with cobwebs, the main feature now begins
A bridge of sighs, tell abstract lies
Are you making a mistake?
You're trying to figure out
A way through this confusion
You're foaming at the mouth
My mind's like shattered glass
My skull is split in two
I'm staring at the fragments
Of all I once held true
I will try for you
Savour our conspiracy, as you press against my skin
You're the only thing worth dying for, I try to stop breathing
I'm drowning in your kisses, and I start to feel this (less) pain
I'm feeing all light headed, and the world just falls away
Are you making a mistake?
You're trying to figure out
A way through this dementia
You're foaming at the mouth
My mind's like shattered glass
My skull is split in two
I'm staring at the pieces
I'm tryin to fix with glue
I will try for you
Twilight of the Innocents
Tell me the story of a boy who lived in Hell
Trapped in silence
No one there to keep him sane
Clandestine pain
Coming back from the dead
Into a world of sorrow
Making no sense
Hear the voices in his head
See through his eye
Pass through the gateway of a banished citadel
No turning backwards
Pray for mercy to be free an unchained soul
Disembodied
When are you coming home
Youve been away too long
Too far you've wandered
Through the shadows and the dark depths of your mind
Im still breathing, My hearts still beating (x8)
Benath the arches of a cold and distant sky
Held in rapture
Infinte number I am left to wonder why
Forever after
Through the darkness starring down
Your soul denied these warnings
Took no notice
Disbelieving with the end in clearest sight
Im still breathing, My hearts still beating
Im still breathing, My hearts still beating
Im still breathing, My hearts still beating
Im still breathing, My hearts still beating
