Falling
04:08
|
|||
Turn my world around
Torn and bereft
Thaw the paint in red I called my own
Haunting nightmares lash and flay
Would you take me away?
Love is all
All is gone
I don’t know if I would love you
And I don’t know if I should love you
Now I don’t know when I could love you
But I do know that I will love you
Draw me close
Lost in your mind
Frozen in time
And falling
High on light
The end always true
This night is due
We’re falling
Here I’m alone
Nothing is left
All the merit for my heart untorn
Hope forlorn in one last say
Could you take me away?

Born To Suffer
03:45
|
|||
I wonder why
And how I’ll fail today
One more cruel surprise
But still the pain’s the same
Because
I am, I am born to suffer
I am, I am, I am the woeful one
I am, I am born to suffer
I am, I am, I am the one
As low as I go I still fall
Still fall
While others fly high I just crawl
Just crawl
It kills me to know
I’ve lost at ‘hello’
I am born to suffer
No friend’s advice
Or lover’s voice to soothe
Alone I cry
As arrows I remove
I suppose
I am born to suffer
I am born to suffer, suffer, oh
It won’t go
I am born to suffer
I am born to suffer, suffer, oh
To hold to a hope is the key
The key
To unlock the door to my dream
My dream
But tears still do flow
From so long ago
I am born to suffer
I am born to suffer…

Queen Of Broken Dreams
03:46
|
|||
Walk my way alone
I’m too far from home
Queen of broken dreams
Wherever I go
Smiling like a pro
On high end magazines
You chase tears on my face
I, I learnt to fly and I learnt to fall
Just never forgot to rise after all
I’ve lost my sight but never my will
All that remains is a dark void to fill
Check out my profile
I will fake a smile
Exquisitely for you
Wherever I go
Ready for the show
But where’s the girl I knew
So cold, welcome to my world

Your Highness
03:54
|
|||
Ooh, read the signs
Her aura’s divine
Divine
In rooms of blood red
Where fools dared to tread
Ignored what they’d known
Their fate carved in stone
(So the legend goes)
You’re in too deep
Face your fear
Behind the curtain
Oh, so many tried
But what is clear
The world’s her servant
She needs no crown
But always may she reign
Your Highness is her name
With lips like absinthe
And ivory skin
Surrender control
Her eyes purge your soul
(So the legend goes)
You had to stare
When you could hear
Her call for certain
Oh, so many tried
But what is clear
The world’s her servant
She needs no crown
But always may she reign
Your Highness is her name
Your Highness is her name
Her wish is your demise
Your Highness is her name
And the ending goes
Too late to weep
So dry your tears
Accept your burden
Oh, so many died
Over the years
The world’s her servant
She needs no crown
But always may she reign
Your Highness is her…

Broken from a night drenched in sweat and spite
Mourning someone who claims they’re living
Doom is their delight, only one invite
To the torture, no prize for guessing…
Lacerated skin, everything’s a sin
When your dogma has bit through the chain
In the twisted grin lies the guilt within
But the truth’s etched in each new bloodstain
My journals burn
Your drawings too
And why?
My only wish
Before I die’s
To kill the ghost in you
There’s a light that blinds the truth
Guiding me, haunting you
The bitterest forbidden fruit
To write a line you don’t dictate
You destroy, as I create
Killing a ghost to save a life
Once upon a time lived a valentine
Sweet and tender, who made my heart sing
Then this man declined right before my eyes
To the victim who slashed my heart strings
I still reminisce every single kiss
Back when passion was pure and precious
Now I just exist, waiting for the twist
Of misfortune that will condemn us
Ten months and six days
Since one of us mentioned love
Of course it was me, hoping that you
Could still believe
To write a line you don’t dictate
You’ve destroyed my waning faith
To kill the ghost before I die

Meteor
04:14
|
|||
Rocks in the sky on fire
Wishes on ashes to fulfil my desire
You came into my atmosphere
Don’t disappear, don’t disappear
Did you know a shooting star is just a falling stone
The death of an asteroid from the unknown
But somehow I believe in the magic it can do
You know what I wished for?
I wished for you
Wished for you
Please come true
I wished for you
I saw a light above
It burns and crashes but it’s love
You left a trail of stars
But this crater is ours

Unstill Life
04:00
|
|||
For all of my life I’ve agonised
I’ve never felt at peace
Oh what I would give to be with you
And to just ‘be’
The inner voice is deafening
It’s calling to demean
And bless you throughout the maelstrom
You are so serene
And welcome to my
Unstill life
There’s horror in my head again
From dark till light
As sleep becomes a distant dream
A sunlit autumn afternoon
The seabirds and the sea
When all of your worries fade away
Except for me
I don’t know
How you can see the best in me
But thank you so
The truest friend I’ll ever need
I don’t know
How you still see the best in me
But thank you so
For being the breath of the unredeemed

When You See Me Again
03:34
|
|||
Before the morning light I’ve sold you
Those words you told us have become true
Am I the only one to see the need above
Is this the only way to show my love
Show my love
If this is right how can it feel so wrong
How can I stay when all the hope is gone
Hope you will finally see me as I am
When I see you again
When I see you again
I still can see you with my eyes closed
Wish I could hold you here but I don’t
Call me a traitor but I’ve lost a friend too
No one will understand but I do
I do
I guess you know the sacrifice I made
I never hang myself to numb the pain
Embrace the hope and you will understand
Why you’ll see me again
When you see me again

Love Wasn’t Made For Me
03:44
|
|||
Pale moon, black drops on my pillow
You are the man I want, but you are not my hero
We live on two different plains
Chasing our dreams through dense haze
This is what life is made of
Tell me is this love?
Like a lonely dawn
You show up, you’re waiting here for me
Knowing I won’t come
Knowing that I’d rather live free
Maybe it is destiny
Maybe it’s not meant to be
I was made for love
Unfortunately…love wasn’t made for me
I cry, I lie, I am an old wrecked train
I’m waging war inside my old cracked brain
That is what I am made of
Tell me is this love?
This is what life is made of
Tell me is this love?

What Are We To Do
03:59
|
|||
Hey lover
What’s the quietness for
Have we both given up
Sitting in restaurants mumbling
Stirring cold coffee cups
Just like the couples we used to look at
Who you would cruelly mock
Would we be deluded if we tried
To deceive the dreaded clock
You tell me that I’m broken
So then why is my heart open
Only for the ones who care
'Cause I can spot devotion
Oh, and when the feeling’s stolen
From someone who wants to share
Listen to reason, please
And give me back all of the freedom
That you’ve sadly wasted
Faced with the fear we’re over rated
And tell me what are we to do
Tell me what are we to do
Hey lover
What’s the quietness for
The echoes stalk each day
Living as though there’s nothing left
But a constant state of grey
Hiding from troubles we used to laugh at
As the tick conspires to tock
Would we anger cupid if we tried
To deceive the dreaded clock
Every word I’ve spoken
Hoping love is not a slogan
That you use to clear the air
When the passion’s frozen
Token, lacking in emotion
Far too weak to truly bear
Take on your demons, defeat them
Remember what you once believed in
Something almost sacred
Face it, nothing will replace it
Oh, and tell me what are we to do
Tell me what are we to do
It’s no secret, we can’t pretend
That we’re destined for a happy end
Keep repeating every ‘fail’
Or aim for something that will prevail
All the lies you’ve woven
Chosen to reduce the ocean
That exists between us pair
Take all those bitter moments
Own them, both of us have known them
Say you’re sorry if you dare
Make this the season that we can
Go back to serving the dream
And forget all the hatred, erase it
There’s no need to embrace it
Just tell me what are we to do
Tell me what are we to do?

Tonight
03:42
|
|||
You won’t see me tonight
For you don’t need me tonight
You have found a love
You think I don’t know of
So you’ll mislead me tonight
If you want me to surrender
You’re the only one here at war
But battle lines are drawn
Tell me what I need to know
Just one line is okay, not a three hour play
Tell me then I’ll start anew
And I’ll soon slip away from this endless day
I’m not broken tonight
The truth is spoken tonight
You have sold a dream
With little worth for me
And I’ve awoken tonight
Tell me what I need to know
Just one line is okay, not a three hour play
Tell me then I’ll start anew
And I’ll soon slip away from this dismal day
Talk to me
Honestly now
We are barely ‘me and you’
So I’ll do what you can’t do
Take you back? Good god, hell no!
So keep your next bouquet for your new cliché
Now you know, I’ll start anew
And you’ll soon fade away from this special day

A Million Miles Away
04:06
|
|||
I’m longing for infinity
One last stair to nowhere
In my latest dream I felt so free
But suddenly I was torn down by gravity
Between my heart and yours
After a million wars
A wound that never cures
A wound that I adore
Secretly for evermore
I feel when you’re in pain
Even a million miles away
When I close my eyes, I always see
This moment and your scent
In my last dream there were you and me
But suddenly we were torn down by gravity
Between my heart and yours
After a million wars
A wound that never cures
A wound that I adore
Secretly for evermore
Can you feel my pain?
Even a million miles away
Even if you know that I won’t stay
Even if your heart is dead
´Cause too much truth remains unsaid
Between my heart and yours
After a million wars
A wound that never cures
A wound that I adore
Secretly for evermore
I still feel your pain
Even a million miles away
