call me up when you need attention
we'll do things that you'll never mention
i'll stick around till the party's over
take me to your room, you'll make me sober
but i know that you'll…
chorus: only keep me around tonight
for drunk reasons, i don't ask why
you'll hate me tomorrow, but we'll be alright tonight
only keep me around tonight
for drunk reasons, i don't ask why
you'll hate me tomorrow, but we can have our fun tonight
you'll say things i won't remember
don't know what you said but it sounded clever
you'll keep me up for an hour or two
too tired we'll finish before we're through
but i know that you'll
chorus: 2x

Room Full of Mirrors

twisted forms that fall like dominoes
they're falling by themselves
the twisted words that come when no one's home
and you don't want to hear them
take a look around the block
there's not a soul to talk to
hoping for someone to call on
when you've had a bit
you use me up, and i use you
chorus: but when i look into your' eyes
i can't see myself in you
but when i look into your' eyes
i can't see myself
playing games so you don't have to feel
a genuine emotion
visions blurred so i will have to kneel
you treat me like a subject
talking so fast so we don't have to speak
about anything at all
the scene is so expected
when we start to kiss
you use me up, and i use you
chorus 2x

Helpless Like A Child

holding on so tight like I
won't ever let you go
we don't need the world outside
our bodies are all we know
you lift me up with your smile
so I can't hear a thing
I'm helpless like a child
your my comfort and I sing
chorus: I can feel the light of your love
shine on me
even in the darkest night
your love is all I need
a thousand years of life
aren't enough to love you
and there's no reason why
I'd ever leave you
these dregs will drag you down
so you can't see
they're all liars in this town
but your love is true to me
chorus 2x

The Tip Of Your Tongue
03:12
|
|||
|
so you're stuck looking at your' walls again
you can't see that you're not alone
all the faces that have been running through my dreams
seem so familiar, but like mirror shattered beings
chorus: holding on to what you thought you had
only to find that it's all you had to lose
like a melody lingers on the tip of your tongue
i remember your' painted eyes and how it had begun
looking through a box of notes, lines i have reused
this is another sad song i wrote just for you
chorus: 2x
but when will this all end 2x
i can't help myself, and dream of you

The Gilded Age
03:24

you only sell sickness and teach us your greed
there is no escaping
we are all slaves to your great schemes
but we don't know, we don't know how
we were fine without you to satisfy our needs
however helpless we seemed
you built us up with your promises
but your lies are all you keep
you destroy all you see
you can take away everything
but we're the stone that will not bleed
there is no innocence in our days of killing sprees
bodies lie in the tracks of your machines
they destroy all they see, destroy all they see
desolation stalks your litter covered streets
they destroy all they see, destroy all they see
your babies are wide eyed and hungry
but we don't know, we don't know how
your gilded is crashing, your gilded is crashing down

Don't Ask, Don't Tell
02:00

a weary wander through your room
seeing all your precious things
to much to touch that's touched you
and all the fiery senses that it brings
nothing to touch that means a thing
but it's your mirror that tells the story
of all your little lying ways

Crystal Night Drive

I can only believe in what my eyes tell me
like crashing through the surface after trying to breath again
if we're all floating by, then we're all passengers
falling in never-ending circles around the sun
holding on
for our lives
we've been tearing up our nails with sunburned eyes
refrain: hurtling through the lazy haze of summers glow
then rushing past the emptiness of a city fast asleep
spinning round in a dizzy daze so I can't see you
trying to reach with weary hands and touch something true
like an alien lying on an earth that's not his own
I've been stumbling through these days searching for my way home
so cut the chord
that ties you down
to the same simple games you play in a humdrum town
refrain: so take off your torn dreams and pull of your tattered clothes
the moon's glimmer dimly lights like a slit cut in the sky
spinning round in a dizzy daze so i can't see you
trying to reach out but I'm still holding on
holding on
for our lives
we've been tearing up our nails with sunburned eyes

Separation Anxiety

we only say please now cause we want it
if there's no other way than we'll die
the truth is too big now to deny it
the consequences of your lies will eat you up
refrain: you can go and i will know
that we can never again
so i hold you tight against my arms
lying in the dark
we can't stay inside forever
the world isn't waiting for us to try
you only cry now cause you think you're all alone
but you'll find another one, to fill you up
refrain
the light that shone in your eyes is fading
but still a fire burns inside
in the distance you can see a way out
but there's no escape for me
wait, don't wait for me 4x
refrain 4x

Dance Pretty
04:42
|
|||
|
with all that smoke in your eyes i still can't say no
sitting in a crowded room full of hazy faces
people falling down, people falling through
they'll all just fail me, but not you
refrain: so pop another pill and let it slide, down your throat
this dance is killing us, but we can't take it slow
crushed cans and broken glass littered underneath your feet
so take my hand and follow me down this dead end street
we're huddled like freezing fiends in a burned out bedroom
you raise your head and ask me for another drink
baby we don't need to sleep when we powder our nose
if you keep on pleading me i'll have to say no
refrain:
so you keep on telling lies and you hurt everyone you know
she keeps you in her pocket, everywhere that she goes
you can't think of an escape
it's only love and drugs, so you get what you take
it's all so beautiful
it's all so beautiful to me
