Halo
These vultures
Even though I'm in a crowd, can't stop feeling lonely.
Even though I'm close to you, can't stop feeling distant.
Dark as night, my heart reflects what's painted in my soul.
Bring your demons, all your hellfire, I'll be gone before the morning comes.

Charon
How often do you ask yourself this, what's the value of my broken soul? Could I trade it in for better days now?
Would it make it any easier? Purgatory 'cause of little white lies, purgatory 'cause of half told truths.
Who pays for the ferry ticket? And just how deep is the river Styx? You never thought of it like this?
How 're you gonna get across this? How 're you gonna make it home? There's always someone stronger on the other side,
there's always someone better on the other side. How 're you gonna get alive out of here? So, now you need to match your stories. Where were you when it all began? Did you think that you could buy your way out?
Did you take this for a sink or swim? Purgatory for your little white lies, purgatory for your half told truths.
All the bridges in this world won't save you, someday you're gonna realize.
That whatever you came here for ... tonight, is gonna sink you like stone. Believe me when I say,
as far as I know there's still a chance to get out of here without scars. And even though it hurts,
chances are you'll be better off, if you sail across under your true flags.

Circus
Hold your breath as you cross this bridge. You feel a shiver when it storms like this.
Try not to focus on what's underneath. You feel the wood crack beneath your feet.
It's getting better, but it seems so wrong. It's not me... no, it's not me.
Inside this circus there's a thousand eyes, and they're staring down on me. Days they come like this, and pass like a slide show or a cabaret.
Try to scream through your broken lungs and tell your story with a twisted tongue.
But you don't wanna see the world like I do. Obsessed, possessed and out of tune.
'Cause I don't really think it's worth it, you'll see. Covered up... in sawdust... it makes it harder to breathe.
I'll cut 'em all up for you, I'll be damned if it's all pretty and good out there.
And I swear that I'm a sucker for the ugly things you're keeping in your closet, girl.
It's getting better, but it seems so wrong. It's not me... no it's not me.
And every time I open up this box, it keeps staring down on me.

Down like suicide
When it all comes down like suicide
You keep your eyes shut wide and your head's inside
Seems impossible to choose
Either way I'm gonna lose

And your life comes down like heavy rain
And you try your best to stay insane
There is nothing left to lose
Nothing left to choose

As your silver lines wearing thin with time
Rust is eating what is left to shine
Seems impossible, too cold
So hang on to your last rope
You keep your heart up close
And your soul on hold
Wait for the cure that was meant for you
As our intention ends
Now what you might think

When you try to hide what's deep inside
Know your friends have stepped aside
You try to hide what eats you from inside

Sing it for me now
Sing it out aloud, aloud
Don't you never gotta geta away alive
I guess that's all that you can do
To keep what's left of your pride

As your heart stopped beating and it broken too
You can rest and sure we did all we could
For the last board going down
We have that heart to stick around
We brought the paramedics and the oxygen
It took a lot to bring you back
Before your final escapade
Your last serenade

Sing it for me now
Sing it out aloud, aloud
Don't you never gotta geta away alive
I guess that's all that you can't do
To keep what's left of your pride
Take this rusty heart
I'll save another tear, a tear
Don't you ever gotta geta away alive
I guess that's all that you can do
To keep what's left of your pride

Blaze of ashes
"Hang on, I'll be back by Monday", you said. It's been days now, still not a sign from you.
So I wait here in the dark while sharpening knives, counting hours and crows to pass the time.
Waiting as the days are turning to years, I've been hanging out for so long, out in these desert hills.
And I sit alone here, I'm so tired of needing a ride, I've been wasting years now, and I hope you're feeling proud.
Down you go in a blaze of ashes and all I know is that you have been lying through your teeth.
There's always someone there who can take your place, all you are is just a little bit too easy.
And down you go in a blaze of dirt. "Hang on, I'll be back by Monday", you said. It's been years now,
still not a sign from you I've got miles left to go and I'm not in the mood for this walk, so I'm counting hours and crows 'til I get home.

Sail away
I don't need to write it down,
I've known these lines by heart for years.
But everytime I try they seem to lack a certain elegance.
Anyway I wanted you to know that I'll be staying in this year.
Cause I believe you're better off without me here.

I'm sinking
You're fading
This ship has been lost at sea.
I'm drowning
You're leaving
That's how it is

Treading water's never been a thing for me.

So long it's been a very good year
And I know it takes a lifetime to repay
All I ever wanted was to sail away
But I got caught up in the waves along the way

Thought I found myself
Had a bucketful and threw it all away
So long, it's all gone now.
This year, yeah, I spent it all.
I only did it to prove I could. 
				
top

Bridges and anchors
Ten years in a comatose, I always knew I would get out of here someday.
Somebody's gonna come around and burn this caravan down to the ground.
Locked in among these animals, I can't sleep when they look at me this way.
I'm gonna get my fingers burned to the bone, leaving ashes you can dust for prints.
Damn the bridges I forgot to burn and every stone that's been left unturned for years, long gone now.
Fuck the anchors that's been left at sea.
It goes to show it wasn't meant to be for me... not for me.
Shot down and put to sleep again.
This is the last resort for me and the boys.
We're never ever giving in, oh no!
We're standing put, and we'll get by on.
Time, coffee, pills and cigarettes.
I had a plan, the blueprints, and a gun.
But here's the brutal truth: There's no escape from this mothership.
So here's what you get for staying inside, too long on your own, shoveling shit... your 're never getting out.
I know you've been told that the doors are unlocked.
So what? This is home... it's all that we've got... we're never going out.
For those who tried, for those who never made it.
For those who ran but never came far enough.
For those who bled and poured out their heartache.
Your sacrifice will be recognized one day.
For those who did more than what's required.
For those who sang, for those who inspired.
For those who laughed while the rest of us were crying... here's a shout... you made us feel alive.

Pitch black mourning
All of these thoughts that come running through my head,
they seem to be distorted pictures.
Memories of how I first got to this point,
through a blurry polaroid.
Days in the wilderness, lost in the emptiness.
All my thoughts are clouded by the pitch black mourning of something long gone,
a ghost without a name.
When morning comes it screams so loud.
Crackin' up again.
Wash the blood and hide the evidence.
The sun arise, it burns my eyes.
Well, I never thought it would come to this... my dear.
Crashed on the way down, my head first into the ground.
Bloodstains lead the way home for me.
Follow the trail from the ground to the wrist to these pale, anemic eyes.
Erase and rewind, throw it all back in time.
Tell me, will I still remember you?
And how comes, the last thing I see as I pass out, is you fading to black. 
				
top

Firehose
All of your days have gone to waste.
And every night a sleepless haze.
All of your fears are closing in.
And all that is left is bittersweet.
Well, would you you want me as a firehose, in your life?
Would you want me to put out all your fires?

Every night, I go to sleep.
Along with the mess, I've made out of you.
I dragged you along, spiraling down.
Truth is, without you girl, I'm nothing much at all.

It's hard to keep the fire burning all alone.
For every day you kill, another comes along.
It's been such a long time,
now I'm finally closing in on what I need.
Sweet kerosene.

It's hard to keep the fire burning all alone
for every day you kill another comes along
it's been such a long time
now I'm finally closing in on what I need
sweet kerosene
ooo what I need
sweet kerosene

Darkdrive
Time to face this darkness and move on.
Where do we go when nobody lights our way.
Stumbling through the dark on our own,
with broken bones, trying to get out of here.
Where do we go and how come they follow us?
(We're never on our own.)
Why do they keep on messing around with us?
(We'll never get away.)
Safe and sound and still on our own.
But not for long, as they all came marchin' in.
Everyone would gather around,
they wanna know how e got out of here.
Away from the dark, away from the cold.
And the ghosts that haunts us here.
We fought our way out and into the light...
but you pulled us right back in.
You dragged us away, you dragged us to hell.
We're adored by your sweet smell.
But this is the end where we draw the line...
oh my God, you're so divine. 
				
top

Godspeed
Out in the open, out on the ocean.
On the horizon, your black sails are fading... again.
We gave you our blessing and our absolution.
The day you return here, we will be waiting... for you.
Well, we know, these vultures will guide you across the horizon.
Just hold fast, our dear Lady fortune will ride off this tidal wave.
So we dream of a day when we dance on their graves.
Farewell, farewell... we will see you again.
Farewell, farewell... Godspeed to you all.

Desert song
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we
made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we
made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we
made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...
Man work that sh*t
I'll be out spending all this money while you
sitting round
Wondering why it wasn't you who came up
from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunning
And all of my cars start with the push up a
button
Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever
you call it
Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don't need my name on my show
You can tell it I'm ballin'
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your
last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could've saw
But sad to say it's over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now ask me who they want
So you can go and take that little piece of sh*t
with you
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we
made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick

Bright lights
Soaked in fluids and drained in the stench of kerosene
Soaked in fluids and drained in the stench of kerosene
I will leave a light on, drop a matchstick to tell you where I'm going
I'll burn this town down to light up your way, just to follow these bright lights
Soaked in fluids and drained in the stench of kerosene
Soaked in fluids and drained in the stench of kerosene
I will burn these bridges, leave a dead stare, oh honey you deserve these flames
I'll tear this town down and leave a road sign, just follow this dead trail
Broken, everything is broken, we've buried the black box recorder, they'll never get the evidence
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
Suffocating, oh hell we are the bittersweet taste, the perfect lie
Nothing ever changes here.
Burn it down, and we'll watch it all go down in flames
Burn it down, and we'll watch it all go down in flames
Let's set the record straight, and end it all in flames
I'll burn this town down to light your way up
Burn it down, and we'll watch it all go down in flames
Burn it down, and we'll watch it all go down in flames
I'll burn this town down to light your way up
Soaked in fluids

Nowhere to run

Kiss's song

Don't know what's been going on in your head, no
When you knew that his love was through
You closed your eyes instead
I was there with a shoulder to lean on
It's not gonna happen twice
If you go I just want you to know
It's alright
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide

Did you think it would open up in the night, yeah
Just pretend I'm only a friend and disappear from sight
One day you're gonna be lonely, wishing I was by your side
And one day you'll think of me only
But girl, you gotta take the ride
Well too bad, now that the damage is done

Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide

Little girl, gonna make your bed in the night, yeah
Now you say you're going away
But I will keep your heart
And you will cry when you realize you were wrong
Run on, run on

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, no

Halo

Beyonce's song

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
