SEASONS IN OUR DREAMS
As I came up from the dark…
you met me there with a spark
now we are covered in flames
burning alive in the rain.
Right here, right now
you’ve got to somehow
show me that you will be there in the end.
Before we’re ridden with diseases
and picking up the pieces
of the man and the woman we used to be
before we’re changing like the seasons in our dreams….
Your eyes are pistols with one
primed up and ready to run…
though smoking barrels are down,
you can’t leave your heartache in a round…
Right here, right now
you’ve got to somehow
show me that you will be there in the end.
Before we’re ridden with diseases
and picking up the pieces
of the man and the woman we used to be
before we’re changing like the seasons in our dreams…
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’
BY YOUR SIDE
I have nothing more than this tonight:
hope for a dream to pass you by
you’d see me fight…for you, my bride
though it may sway like oceans’ waves,
love comes to life in your embrace
for you, i’d give my life away
and as we are leaving the grips of this life,
I’ll be by your side.
yeah, I’ll be by your side.
I long for a day when freedom rings,
with you in my arms, I’ll watch you sleep
and kiss your lips with fire and peace…
and as we are leaving the grips of this life,
I’ll be by your side.
yeah, I’ll be by your side.
yeah, I’ll be by your side.
THE DEVIL WITHIN
Children watch the flames…
as the ashes rise against the rain
Can you explain the fires to them?
can you hide the devin within?
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh….
God takes the blame…
while the fingers point at all the pain
close your eyes and dream my friend
and you will see the devil within…
ooh, ooh, ohh, ohh….
FIRST IN LINE
I’ll run my fingers through
your hair tonight
there’s no one else
I’m sure of this
I need you now
I’ll give you all of me
I’ll make you mine
If you’ll take me
and make me
your first in line
I’ve made my home in your
heart and your mind
you laid your hands
on my chest and
you pointed home…
I’ll give you all of me
I’ll make you mine
If you’ll take me
and make me
your first in line
I’ve seen you
I’ve kissed you
in two hours,
I’ve missed you
I’ll take it
I’ll make it
I’ll give you all…
I’ll give you all of me
I’ll make you mine
If you’ll take me
and make me
your first in line
RAZORBLADE
A sunrise, a black tide’s
rolling in from a cutter’s night
a heartbeat—a mystery
of five fingers cradling
a new pain
a stiff vein
it’s blood red in the pouring rain
I can’t feel
the cold steel
peel the skin back and break the seal
it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok
you tell them everything they wanna hear
This new fire
in my veins
it’s too quiet, I can’t explain
the white pills—
the fake kills
the screams return and fire at will
you break down and silence the phone
you bite down when no one’s at home
it’s ok to not wanna die alone
cus’ neither does anyone
it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok
you tell them everything they wanna hear
it’s too late to crawl off and miss this
I’m so tired of razorblade kisses
my chest gets the best of the carving line:
freedom at anytime
there’s no fear, no boundary lines
no questions, no one to fight
no answers, no coming back this time
seal it and let it fly:
‘God will you take this away—
on your back, carry some weight
a bloody fist, a slit of the wrist—you get this:
freedom from anyone’
the cold metal back of my throat
bite down for the final show
where you cock it back
and pull it fast to get past
you don’t need anyone, you don’t need anyone, you don’t need anyone….
it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok…
ELEMENT
I’ve been waiting…
wish I was watching you…
in the daylight—a perfect view
this is always a favorite of mine
I don’t wanna go,
cus’ it means I’d have to throw
this Element of mine…aside
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, I know, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
than I already do…
I’ve been screaming my lungs out…
cus’ I’m wishing you were here with me now,
I’m impatient…I apologize…a million times…
cus’ I’m human, and I’m selfish
got the feeling I should deal with this
but I’m hiding
and no one knows…
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, I know, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
than I already do…
and in sunrise, I find a new relation
and moonlight creeping…sounds of you tonight
and you’ll find that I still need to know…
that you fight using memory
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, of course, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, of course, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
than I already do…
than I already do…
AS LONG AS YOU’RE NOT LEAVING
Talk is cheap, but baby, not to me
the words you speak can bring me to my knees
I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok…
as long as you’re not leaving…
I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok
As long as you’re not leaving…
leaving me here…
I meant to tell you the truth—
it’s not the curses that I lack,
or the burden on my back,
but still I am asking for you…
for you…
Please don’t leave me I am begging you,
my hands are shaking and my heart’s in two
I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok…
as long as you’re not leaving…
I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok
As long as you’re not leaving…
leaving me here…
I meant to tell you the truth—
it’s not the curses that I lack,
or the burden on my back,
but still I am asking for you…
for you…
Talk is cheap, but baby, not to me
the words you speak can bring me to my knees.
