Sweet Sacrifice
It's true,
we're all a little insane
but its so clear
now that I'm unchained
Fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time
You poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me
don't deny
sweet sacrifice
One day I'm gonna forget your name
and one sweet day,
you're gonna drown in my lost pain
Fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds
but its taking over all the time
You poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
and oh you love to hate me
don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.
I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
erase the silence
erase my life
our burning ashes
blacken the day
a world of nothingness
blow me away
Do you wonder why you hate?
are you still too weak
to survive your mistakes?
You poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me
don't deny
sweet sacrifice
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call Me When You're Sober
Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Made up your mind!
Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late!
So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Made up your mind!
Couldn't take the blame!
Sick with shame!
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated, no wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
And you're too late
So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Made up your mind!
You never call me when you're sober
You want it all 'cause its over
How could I have burned paradise
How could I
You were never mine!
So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Made up your mind!
Just take of your things!
I've made up your mind!

Weight of the world
Feels like the weight of the world
Like God in heaven gives me turn
Don't cling to me I swear I can fix you
Still in the dark can you fix me?
Freefall freefall
All through life
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be
She's nothing to me
Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark how can you see?
Freefall freefall
All trough life
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I was
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be

Lithium
Lithium don't want lock me up inside
Lithium don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium - I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go...
Come to bed don't make me sleep alone
Couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
Lithium don't want lock me up inside
Lithium don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium - I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Don't want it to lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness I know myself
Can't break free until I let it go
Let me go
Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
Lithium don't want lock me up inside
Lithium don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium - I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lose Control
You don't remember my name
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?
Just once in my life
I think I'd be nice
Just to lose control - just once
With all the pretty flowers in the dust
Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet my lamb
Mary never has to know
Just once in my life
I think I'd be nice
Just to lose control - just once
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there will be nothing good left of you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud Nine
If you wanna live - let live
If you wanna go - let go
I'm not afraid to dream
To sleep, sleep forever
I don't need to touch the sky
I just wanna feel this high
Can you refuse to lift me?
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along
If I fall and all is lost
It's where I belong
If you wanna live - let live
If you wanna go - let go
I'm never gonna be your sweet sweet surrender
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along
If I fall and all is lost
There's no light to lead the way
Remember that all alone
It's where I belong
In a dream
Will you give your love to me?
Beg my broken heart to beat
Save my life
Change my mind
If I fall and all is lost
There's no light to lead the way
Remember that all alone
It's where I belong
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Star
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see your star
the mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away
and I'm alone now
me and all I stood for
we're wandering now
all in parts in pieces, swim lonely
find your own way out
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
how can the darkness feel so wrong?
and I'm alone now
me and all I stood for
we're wandering now
all in parts in pieces, swim lonely
find your own way out
So far away
its growing colder without your love
why can't you feel me calling your name?
can't break the silence
its breaking me
all my fears turn to rage
and I'm alone now me
and all I stood for
we're wandering now
all in parts and pieces, swim lonely
find your own way out
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snow White Queen
Stoplight lock the door
Don't look back
Undress in the dark
And hide from you
all of you
You'll never know the way
Your words have haunted me
I can't believe
You'd ask these things of me
You don't know me
You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run,
So lets just get it over
Soon I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love,
Cause all I want is you
Wake up in a dream
Frozen fear
All your hands on me
I can't scream
I can't escape the twisted way
You think of me
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep
You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run,
So lets just get it over
Soon I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love,
Cause all I want is you
I can't save your life
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting
I'm losing my mind and you
Just stand there and stare as my world divides
You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run,
So lets just get it over
Soon I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love,
Cause all I want is you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All That I'm Living For
All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
I can feel the night beginning
separate me from the living
understanding me
after all I've seen
piecing every thought together
find the words to make me better
if I only knew how to pull myself apart
All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted for
although I wanted more
lock the last open door -
my ghosts are gaining on me
I believe that dreams are sacred
take my darkest fears and play them
like a lullaby
like a reason why
like a play of my obsessions
make me understand the lesson
so I'll find myself
so I wont be lost again
All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted for
although I wanted more
lock the last open door -
my ghosts are gaining on me
Guess I thought I'd have to change the world
to make you see me
to be the one
I could have run forever
but how for would I have come
without mourning your love?
All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted for
although I wanted more
lock the last open door -
my ghosts are gaining on me
should it hurt to love you?
should I feel like I do?
should I lock the last open door-
my ghosts are gaining on me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like You
Stay low
soft, dark, and dreamless
far beneath my nightmares and loneliness
I hate me
for breathing without you
I don't want to feel anymore for you
grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
nothing real love can't undo
and though I may have lost my way
all paths lead straight to you
I long to be like you
lie cold in the ground like you
Halo
blinding wall between us
melt away and leave us alone again
humming, haunted somewhere out there
I believe our love can see us through in death
I long to be like you
lie cold in the ground like you
there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you
You're not alone
no matter what they told you you're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore
I long to be like you, sis
lie cold in the ground like you did
there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
and as we lay in silent bliss
I know you remember me
I long to be like you
lie cold in the ground like you
there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Enough
Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly
now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough for you
Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
and I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely
now I can't let go of this dream
can't believe that I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough
its been such a long time coming, but I feel good
and I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
pour real life down on me
cause I can't hold on to anything this good
enough
am I good enough
for you to love me too?
so take care what you ask of me
cause I can't say no
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lacrymosa
Out on your own
cold and alone again
can this be what you really wanted, baby?
Blame it on me
set your guilt free
nothing can hold you back now
Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
grieving the things I can't repair and willing ...
to let you blame it on me
and set your guilt free
I don't want to hold you back now love
I can't change who I am
not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me
and in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up
my love wasn't enough
and you can blame it on me
just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to hold you back now love
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Only One
When they all come crashing down - midflight
you know you're not the only one
when they're so alone
they find a back door out of life
you know you're not the only one
We're all grieving
lost and bleeding
All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes - hypnotized
you know you're not the only one
never understood this life
and you're right I don't deserve
but you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving
lost and bleeding
All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down
Don't look into the eyes
of the world beneath you
Don't look down, you'll fall down,
You'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong
Can't hold onto the fear
that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel, I'm not mine,
I'm not real
All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me
