Truth?
I've been burning and dousing the flames I feel the whiplash of the backlash on my face I melt to sleep at night but I wake to trip the day Never for you, never for me Would I kiss your feet of clay I'm still alive and so should I Soak up the wave of compromise Am I the victim of youth Is this the truth Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me There's no conscience in charity or shame The voice deceives me but believe me, it's the same I see the black and white and the colour in the grey Better for me, better for you Gonna bleach it all away I'm still alive and so should I Soak up the wave of compromise Am I the victim of youth Is this the truth Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me The left hand gives And the right hand takes away Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me I'm still alive and so should I Soak up the wave of compromise I see the scars, I hear the lies So what's the truth Why don't you tell me
Turn to Dust
The concentration drifts in Out of me Conversation slides away Turn and face the change in apathy Take a rise to fall Won't you save me Don't you blame me I got the feel that I'm gone Turn to dust Sentence rape me Segregate me I got the fear that I'm gone Turn to dust Slave or sympathy It atrophies Save but ancient hearts Hiding scars and knives in symphonies Still we rise to fall Won't you save me Don't you blame me I got the feel that I'm gone Turn to dust Sentence rape me Segregate me I got the fear that I'm gone Turn to dust Won't you save me Don't you blame me I got the feel that I'm gone Turn to dust Sentence rape me Segregate me I got the fear that I'm gone Turn to dust

All I Want Is Everything
I don't know how to leave you And I don't know how to stay I got things that I must tell you That I don't know how to say The man behind these empty words Is crying out in shame Holding on to this sinking ship Where nothing else remains All I want is everything Am I asking too much All I want is everything Like the feel of your touch But all I have are yesterdays Tomorrow never comes It's hard to hold your head up When you're kneeling to pray And talking don't come easy now When the words get in the way And if you could see what's going on Behind these private eyes The truth would look so easy now But I'm running out of lies All I want is everything Am I asking too much All I want is everything Like the feel of your touch But all I have are yesterdays Tomorrow never comes You think the shadow of doubt is hanging over my head It's just an angel whose wings hide the sun And it's myself I betray I cannot wish this away Took my chance, now the damage is done All I want is everything Am I asking too much, yeah All I want is everything Like the feel, the feel of your touch All I have are yesterdays Tomorrow never comes
Work it Out
Day and night, black and white You take it all for granted I'm the one who turns you on When you don't know where you belong And nothing seems to matter I'm the one who's holding on It's alright to be wrong All we need's a little time But nothing here can last that long We show the world a brand new face It's taken us all this time All this time All of this doubt We get to work it out All of this doubt We get to work it out Yesterday lost your way Still looking for an answer I'm the one who holds the key When you don't know where you belong When nothing seems to matter I'll unlock this mystery We show the world a brand new face It's taken us all this time All this time All of this doubt We get to work it out All of this doubt We get to work it out All this time (Day and night, black and white) (You take it all for granted) We get to work it out (I'm the one who turns you on, turns you on) All of this doubt (When you don't know where you belong) (When nothing seems to matter) We get to work it out (I'm the one who's holding on) Holding on, holding on
Breathe a Sigh
Let me down slow and easy Cause there ain't nothin' I can do I hope and pray my faith won't leave me When it comes down to me and you Try a little tenderness I die a little for a long lost sweet caress You lyin' next to me Fulfilled some destiny I wanna cry But I breathe a sigh Just a little bit of letting go I don't want you to know I wanna cry But I breathe a sigh Overflow of emotion And a hurt that'll never heal If you close the door forever The fate of pain is sealed Try a little tenderness I die a little for a long lost sweet caress You lyin' next to me (It's outta my head) Fulfilled some destiny (And into my heart) I wanna cry But I breathe a sigh Just a little bit of letting go (Take a new day) I don't want you to know (And make a new start) I wanna cry But I breathe a sigh I more than long for your affection (I love you day and night) I tell you now that that ain't so (I want you more than life) Not even gentle persuasion (Fulfill some destiny) Is ever gonna let me go (I wanna say) You lyin' next to me (It's outta my head) Fulfilled some destiny (And into my heart) I wanna cry But I breathe a sigh Just a little bit of letting go (Take a new day) I don't want you to know (And make a new start) I wanna cry But I breathe a sigh Won't you let me breathe Won't you let me breathe Won't you let me breathe Won't you let me breathe
Deliver Me
I'm tired and feeling hateful I'm tired and I can't breathe So tired that I would be grateful If you closed the door when you leave That's me diggin' my heels in That's me with the holy ghost 'Scuse me but I don't remember Where were you when I needed you most And I'm tired of the sky As you claw at my eyes As I wait for the flood I swim in blood As I crawl to my knees And I beg your disease Taste the ice on your breath As you catch your death I close my eyes Embrace the wave Deliver me Hey you, the voice of reason Hey you, are you listening to me It's you that I can't believe in I don't buy what I don't see Say goodbye cause I don't need And I'm tired of the sky As you claw at my eyes As I wait for the flood I swim in blood As I crawl to my knees And I beg your disease Taste the ice on your breath As you catch your death And I'm tired of the sky As you claw at my eyes As I wait for the flood I swim in blood As I crawl to my knees And I beg your disease Taste the ice on your breath As you catch your death I close my eyes Embrace the wave Abandon me Save the day that I won't see Deliver me
Gift of Flesh
I am all destiny, a trade, a grain of sand I take the throat of innocence and leave decay I stain the way for all to see No fear, no voice, no reason In God no guiding light When all the guilt that's in your head Turns its back and plays for dead You scorch the earth and torch the sky Conscience low with head held high Indulge and multiply and sacrifice As lack of breath chokes underground Divulge degenerate, the darker side From windows watch the screaming sky No fear, no voice, no reason In God no guiding light When all the guilt that's in your head Turns its back and plays for dead You scorch the earth and torch the sky Conscience low with head held... When all the guilt that's in your head Turns its back and plays for dead You scorch the earth and torch the sky Conscience low with head held high From all the truth comes all the shame The curse of flesh just takes its aim On hallowed ground and tortured sky Walk in fear with spirits high
Blood Runs Cold
I heard this line one time 'bout tryin' to save the world But have you ever tried to save yourself A wide-eyed suicide drive remains a fake As if you'd ever, ever go and make that same mistake Strung out as the night comes crawlin' Your halo of thorns is fallin' Blood runs cold I feel it in my bones But you don't know your time is up Blood runs cold Somebody somewhere is screamin' out the words But do they ever really ease the pain I guess what I'm trying to say is whose life is it anyway Because livin', living is the best revenge you can play This fall from grace I see your face, it's over Blood runs cold I feel it in my bones But you don't know your time is up Blood runs cold From you love was kind Resolved, left scarred and blind Wasted and naked in the wings Denying twist of fate Demanding heaven's gate Lying in wait above the wind Strung out as the night comes crawlin' Your halo of thorns is fallin' Blood runs cold I feel it in my bones But you don't know your time is up Blood runs cold Blood runs cold Blood runs cold
Where Does Love Go When It Dies
Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your god Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost Could you ever take a life when all was lost And would it ever be enough Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more Could you kiss the wound that bleeds, spit it on the floor Could you open up your heart then close the door And would it ever be enough Every word you whisper All the tears you hide You die for love when it's alive But where does love go when it dies If you came across your dream, would you walk on by Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die And is there room inside your mind for one more try And would it ever be enough I watch the time go rushing by, it's like an ocean wave Showing you no mercy, throwing dirt upon your grave You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now If you woke up from your sleep, blood on your hands Would you wash away the pain, no one understands There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again And would it ever be enough Every word you whisper All the tears you hide You die for love when it's alive But where does love go when it dies
Pearl of Euphoria
Your price, name the time The suspect of the crime The shadow of my gun Get down or you can run Feed the demon Kiss the flame Feel your desire Empty room, turn the key You're never alone when you're with me Temptation, break the vow Cut flesh from the sacred cow Unchain the tiger Kiss the flame Feel your desire Feed the demon Kiss the flame Feel your desire Soaked in fear, the curtain falls Religion within these walls Mystify my soul beliefs Confession is my release Feed the demon Kiss the flame Feel your desire Unchain the tiger Crucify Feed your desire Pearl of euphoria Pearl of euphoria Pearl of euphoria Pearl of euphoria
