Better
Two fires, they’re breathing
running out of air
two heart, they’re beating
feeding this affair
it’s too far for a clean escape
demons on my sleeve—
they’re not what you expected
when I asked you to believe
For you, for me
make me a better man
for you, for me
make me a better man
With your eyes on my secrets,
God knows what you’ll see
there’s so much to my story,
but you’re the perfect ending
I haven’t found what you’re looking for
I haven’t found what you need
but don’t think what you’re after is
more than I can be
For you, for me
make me a better man
for you, for me
make me a better man
Dead to You
Chances…we had when we were young…
held as ransom…by Future’s setting sun
there’s no use fighting a faceless tyrant—
voices inside of my head
with their subtle wishes and coldest kisses,
they’ll climb up inside of my bed…
singin’ ‘what’s the use in pushing through,
when I’m already dead to you’
Sirens…screaming in my ear…
like the silence that only I can hear…
and now we’re stocking our empty pockets
with remnants of what we had said
just like tears of daughters for sleeping fathers,
my heart was too much for your head.
singin’ what’s the use in pushing through,
when I’m already dead to you
all this mystery and all this silence,
we don’t know what we have become…
we lit this match and we hit the gas
and now we’re holding our ears and our tongues…
and our tongues…
there’s no use fighting a faceless tyrant—
voices inside of my head
with their subtle wishes and coldest kisses,
they’ll climb up inside of my bed…
singin’ ‘what’s the use in pushing through,
when I’m already dead to you’
Rock ‘n’ Roll Can’t Save Me No More
I met this feeling on the freeway…
can’t keep it from gettin in my soul.
some folks they say you’re so damn lucky…
but they don’t have to call that home…
ain’t got no business in that circus,
I ain’t no traveling rollin’ stone,
I’ll put it all inside that fire of fear,
and watch it burn all of the way home…
cus’ rocknroll can’t save me…no more…
no, rocknroll can’t save me…no more…no more…no more…
I’ve got another life on the highway
can’t make no room for myself…
and pretty soon the world is slipping…
can’t make no room for no one else…
ain’t got no business in that circus,
I ain’t no traveling rollin’ stone,
I’ll put it all inside that fire of fear,
and watch it burn all of the way home…
cus’ rocknroll can’t save me…no more…
no, rocknroll can’t save me…no more…no more…no more
