Damage Done

When you dance with the devil and his silver spoon it appears you pay the price
If he leaves you torn he can always return just to take another slice
When I met you, I never really knew, the road that you had walked
But as the crack opens wide and he drew you inside, I could tell how the devil stalked
With the evil sewn and the damage done, will you ever get close to anyone again?
With the evil sewn and the damage done, you say you'll never get close to anyone again.
Will you ever get close to anyone again?
When you've opened your heart and the healing starts why do you shut it down
With every cross word and the feeling its caused are you surprised I'm hurt
I'd hoped by now you'd have figured out how to let somebody in
But I guess that you've decided you'd rather hide it, or that I am not him
You say that you don't belong
Tell me I'm wrong
There's two sides to every story
Tell me yours, tell me yours

Over and again
I ask the same old questions
Will this be the time, these feelings change
But the more I ask
The answer moves further away
And the monsters don't ever fade
Will you hold my hand
Will you see me through the night
Will you comfort me and bring me through the storm.
Never let me go
Pull me close to you
Say that you are mine and I am yours.
I am yours.
Every day the clouds roll in
The days grow ever darker
I wonder if I'll be ok
When I know that I am weary
And the thoughts get dark and scary
you help me see another day.
Will you hold my hand
Will you see me through the night
Will you comfort me and bring me through the storm.
Never let me go
Pull me close to you
Say that you are mine and I am yours.
I am yours.
There's a black bird coming
On to my shoulder today
And he tells me all the things
That I believe in anyway
And those angel voices are
Demons in disguise.
Help me to find another way.

Nevermore
03:06
|
|
||
Chasing clocks the deadline stops
The sleep I used to know
Pace the floor, slam the door
stare into space
Never more than this
Trade it all for a kiss
Never more than this
But you still leave me wanting more.
Never knew you could be so cold
Thought you might care
Haven't found the reason for
The mess you made
Never more than this
Trade it all for a kiss
Never more than this
But you still leave me wanting more.
I will leave you here
In the place where you left me
wanting more than you can ever give
I can't move on
I'm stuck in this place
No one told me that I could hurt like this

Bliss
03:36
|
|
||
The honesty in your words
Won't chase me away
The safety of your arms
Bids me to stay
The nearness of you
Is all I crave
The warmth of your love
Is all I need
Shut the door
Shut out the world
There are no words
For this endless bliss
Once you let go
Once you feel the same
Forget the noise
Forget the pain
Silence comes easy
No need for words
I just want to lay
With you forever
Silence comes easy

Laconic Symphonies
03:38
|
|
||
Hes a man of few words
But his face tells the story
Of the world he knows
And the things that he's seen
He stays on his own
But he doesn't feel lonely
He feels he's comfortable
In his own skin
And he writes his own laconic Symphonies
The words are short but the stories they tell
He writes his own laconic Symphonies
They started bad, but they end so well
When he opens his mouth
Who is going to listen
Will he play his song
To the audience of one
And he knows
That it really doesn't matter
Because the song
Will play forever in his heart
And he writes his own laconic Symphonies
The words are short but the stories they tell
He writes his own laconic Symphonies
They started bad, but they end so well
When the time has come to write another story X3
Who will hear? who will hear?

Not Giving You Up
04:33

|

I’m losing control, I’m falling apart
I’m out of my depth, now you've stolen my heart
I’m under your spell, I’m giving my all
I’ve learned to let go, and into your arms I fall
Not giving you up
Not giving you up
Not giving you up
Cos you’re all I have x2
Singin na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
I love you x2
It’s burning inside, It’s lighting that flame
It’s worth all the hurt, to know youll be in my arms again

Jekyll & Hyde
02:08
|
|
||
Which you am I talking to
Will I be wrong or right
It's like jekyll and Hyde in feminine form
And I've just run out of fight
It's not me it's you
It's not me it's you
No matter how hard you try to convince me
It's not me it's you
I'm done with the arguments
Can't shout any more
But you keep knocking down my defences
Leave me down here on the floor
We'll go back to where we started
Try to start again
But it will all end up the same way
I want to get off this train
I want to get off this train

Misfits
03:34
|
|
||
What do you do when the world pulls you one way
But the other way's the one you want to go
When the need to grow up and be normal
Isn't quite the way you know
But why should we be normal, when we don't know what it means
To justify our place on this earth
Don't be what they tell you, don't fit into the box
In the end, just be you
I know that I should get there some day
But right now I want to swim against the tide
The songs are in my blood, they keep me moving
To sing them isn't all about the pride
You'll have to prise my guitar from my cold dead hands
Because I will sing until the day I die
I won't be what they tell me, I won't fit in the box
In the end I will just be me
This is for the misfits
For the ones who don't belong
Don't lose sight of what you can do
We won't be silenced
We will never fit in
So look out world here we come
So look out world here we come
Look out world here we come

Spotlight
03:39
|
|
||
The smell of the greasepaint
The roar of the crowd
The feeling that only your heart can allow
And I wouldn't be anywhere than I am right now
But I sure miss the sights and I sure miss the sounds
The world keeps on turning
At a glacial pace
The people move quickly, like it's all some race.
I can't seem to fathom how they take so much space
And so I'm left behind and I'm stuck in my place
Under the spotlight where I long to be
Will you wait for me darling
Will you wait there for me
Under the spotlight where everything changed
Will you say that you love me
Forever the same.

Tomorrow never comes
02:48

Sit back
Poor another drink
Forget the moment
It's time to stop the thinking
About the things
We'd like to do
If the world has gone to hell
We might as well go with it
Singing
Pour me another one my dear
Let's not waste another moment
Raise another cheer
For the end of the world is nigh they say
So let's go out with a bang
Let's drink for tomorrow never comes
On the corners
The doomsdayers say
That world is gonna end
We're going down in flames
In a blaze of glory
so they say
So we can either be sad
or go with it til the end
Noone told me it would end this way.
I always thought that it would have more time
But if this is the end of it all
Then I guess I'll make it mine
