Love

I sold my soul to the devil now, it feels good as I look around
I now know what I must do, do you know that I love you
But I love me more than I love you, I have a face you cannot see through
It feels good because you think you had me, but you know it’s me who had you
I told them all just where to go, fuck their politics and damn their souls
The only person I care for is me, it’s so simple can’t you see
But I love me more than I love you, I have a face you cannot see through
It feels good because you think you had me, but you know it’s me who had you
Do you feel love, touched from above
You’ll always be, apart from me
I know this is wrong, so I write these songs
To show you how I feel, do you know what I mean
You’d do anything oh I see, you want just one more night with me
You worship the ground on which I stand, do you know that I love you?
But I love me more than I love you, I have a face you cannot see through
It feels good because you think you had me, but you know it’s me who had you
Do you feel love, touched from above
You’ll always be, apart from me
I know this is wrong, so I write these songs
To feel you how I feel, do you know what I mean
You sold your soul, just what does it mean?
To know that we, we could have been
The final goodbye, it hurts the most
The only thing left, I have is your ghost
Do you feel love, touched from above
You’ll always be, apart from me
I know this is wrong, so I write these songs
To feel you how I feel, do you know what I mean

But you know that you’ll always be alone
You took my heart and stole it from its home
Will we spend all our days apart
I had a heart but I can not make it start
Every time that I close my eyes
I check to see you’re there when I rise
I don’t know now what to do
I made the choice and the choice it was not
You, always apart, you’re tearing at my heart
Wherever you may go, you’ll always be alone
Take this from me, this is how it’s got to be
Take me away, now we’re off to start this
You run and run but you cannot hide
And in the end I know that you would find
A better way now for you to lose
I made this choice and the choice it was not you
Every time that I close my eyes
I check to see you’re there when I rise
I don’t know now what to do
I made the choice and the choice it was not
You, always apart, you’re tearing at my heart
Wherever you may go, you’ll always be alone
Take this from me, this is how it’s got to be
Take me away, now we’re off to start this

White knuckle dance

And I’ll do it all alone, your hearts now turned to stone
Look at me and say, I don’t feel anymore
They can take you away, I’ve nothing left to say
The friendship we had is long gone
I’d do it all again, I’ll do just what they say
Look here comes the pain down here again
I can see it in your eyes, hate spite and lies
I think that I won’t see you again
It’s where you are, its who you’re with, it’s everything that you cannot give
It’s where you are, its who you’re with, it’s everything that you cannot give
And I’d do it all again, the hate the lies the blame
The days I spent, the time that killed it all for you
Forever you’re alone, cast out nowhere to go
For all of time you are alone
It’s where you are, its who you’re with, it’s everything that you cannot give
It’s where you are, its who you’re with, it’s everything that you cannot give

Portrait
04:25
|

|
Madness lives in his brain but he can’t deal with the pain
So he’s judged and branded insane
His heart splattered on the wall, crumbling the stones
From rejection now he is sure
After painting the moon, from grace you fell too soon
From grace you have fallen, too soon
Like a rose in bloom, from grace you fell too soon
From grace you have fallen, too soon
Wrapped up in the watercolour, he’s lost all of his power
What has he taken from life
Now the palette is dry, and he’s said his last goodbyes
What have you taken from love
After painting the moon, from grace you fell too soon
From grace you have fallen, too soon
Like a rose in bloom, from grace you fell too soon
From grace you have fallen, too soon
Like a rose in bloom, from grace you fell too soon
From grace you have fallen
And through the pictures I paint
Turn my back and look away
Dreams and colours all are fading
The world I see is all now grey
And all along, we would carry on
Because all along, it was a self-portrait, a self-portrait

Miserable
04:45

Your smile was so infectious, it fed my healthy heart
I needed to feel your happiness, it never helped anyway
I get so drunk to cheer you up, but you’re feeling miserable
I pretend you’re fine there’s nothing wrong, but you’re feeling miserable
I tear out my heart and I give it up, cause you’re so irresistible
I pretend you’re fine there’s nothing wrong, but you’re feeling miserable
And I watch you shatter, and I watched you fall
You know how it feels for me just to see you when you’re out of control
And I watch you shatter, and I watched you fall
You know how it feels for me to see you when you’re out of control
You’re making the same mistake as me
Can’t you see or hear or feel
Don’t think you’re a failure to me
As I can feel because I have seen
I’ve watched as you failed and fell from me
I should have helped and I should have been
Closer to help you not to fall
But in the end you’re in for more
I get so drunk to cheer you up, but you’re feeling miserable
I pretend you’re fine there’s nothing wrong, but you’re feeling miserable
I tear out my heart and I give it up, cause you’re so irresistible
I pretend you’re fine there’s nothing wrong, but you’re feeling miserable
And I watch you shatter, and I watched you fall
You know how it feels for me just to see you when you’re out of control
And I watch you shatter, and I watched you fall
You know how it feels for me just to see you when you’re out of control
I get so drunk to cheer you up, but you’re feeling miserable
I pretend you’re fine there’s nothing wrong, but you’re feeling miserable

Stars

I want to know, where we all go
How we find out, what it’s about
And will it be, because it seems
That they are gonna get to you
Am I alone, and do I know
Left behind, will I find
A better way, I guess
We’ll just have to wait and see
I love the way you make me feel when I’m behind the wheel
Do you think that you’re some kind of star
I wish that I could be like you
Do you think that this is some sort of lie?
I’m not alone, everyone knows
We see through, all you do
And I guess, it’s for the best
That you don’t care, either way
Fighting for air, are you scared
Look around, you’re surrounded
By the people
And they look, just like you
I love the way you make me feel when I’m behind the wheel
Do you think that you’re some kind of star
I wish that I could be like you
Do you think that this is some sort of lie?
And I know you, do you know me, I don’t know what it is they see
Turn the knife, turn it twice, can you see the blood pouring from me
Now I know, where they all go
They’re on TV, in front of me
And I don’t care, whoever’s there
They all just look the same to me
I love the way you make me feel when I’m behind the wheel
Do you think that you’re some kind of star
I wish that I could be like you
Do you think that this is some sort of lie?

Echos of our past
03:17

One day I’ll be gone, and there will be nothing left but this song
It’s for you,
and I write them all just to get through
The wall, it’s so high, so tall and far to fall
To the floor
I fell
All the way through and now we
Fly so high, illuminate the world for me
I have tried and failed and fallen
Nothing left, nothing left at all
Echos of the past they came, nothings left and nothing will remain
The same, as you join me at the end it’s time to go
Fly so high, illuminate the world for me
I have tried and failed and fallen
Nothing left, nothing left at all for me

Easy escape
03:41

I have seen you drown in shallow waters
I have seen you fall through thin ice
This cold has left me feeling bitter
And I am left to make the hardest choice
I feel your eyes burn through me
I feel your eyes burn me
It was an easy escape
It was a simple mistake that’s killing me
It was an easy escape
It was a simple mistake that’s killing me
I have seen it falling all around you
I have seen the past and what’s to come
This time has left me feeling bitter
And I am left to make the hardest choice
I feel your eyes burn through me
I feel your eyes burn me
It was an easy escape
It was a simple mistake that’s killing me
It was an easy escape
It was a simple mistake that’s killing me

Stand to be tried
04:09
|
|||
|
Make it easy on yourself, look the other way
Pretend that they don’t exist and pretend, that you’re not prey
It’s just a question of how long you can keep it at bay
Cos time has become my hardest thing to deal with
And time has become the deadliest thing
Nothing quite tastes like, your conformity
Running through the veins of a trusting majority
Feeding on the tears that aught to set you free
Cos time has become my hardest thing to deal with
And time has become the deadliest thing
Time has sucked out divinity
And time has drained our liberty
From god knows where to sweet suburbia
Emptiness is your tormentor
If dreams die young, then you will too
A history composed of twisted lies
Your innocent, so stand to be tried
Cos time has become my hardest thing to deal with
And time has become the deadliest thing
Time has sucked out divinity
And time has drained our liberty

Arms around me

I can’t love my self, I can’t love again
I’ve been lying all this time, I’ve been lying to myself
If you can’t love yourself, you can’t love again
You’ve been lying all this time, you’ve been lying to yourself
You’ve been holding on so long, you’ve been holding on so strong
Waiting for the day, that I can see again
You’ve shown me you’re strong, holding on so long
This is goodbye
Love is never enough, now I want it to stop
Needing to feel, you know I need to believe
You’ve shown me you’re strong, holding on so long
This is goodbye, this is our last goodbye
Love is never enough, now I want it to stop
Needing to feel, you know I need to believe
You’ve shown me you’re strong, holding on so long
Now this is goodbye, this is our last goodbye
Love is never enough, now I want it to stop
Needing to feel, you know I need to believe
You’ve shown me you’re strong, holding on so long
Now this is goodbye, this is our last goodbye
Love is never enough, now I want it to stop
Needing to feel, you know I need to believe
You’ve shown me you’re strong, holding on so long
Now this is goodbye, this is our last goodbye
