Lyrics (non-official)

Only When I Lose Myself

It’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself
It’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself

Something beautiful is happening inside for me
Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
I feel hypnotized, I feel paralyzed
I have found heaven

There’s a thousand reasons
Why I shouldn't spend my time with you
For every reason not to be here I can think of two
Keep me hanging on
Feeling nothing’s wrong
Inside your heaven

t’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself
It’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself

I can feel the emptiness inside me fade & disappear
There's a feeling of content that now you are here
I feel satisfied
I belong inside
Your velvet heaven

Did I need to sell my soul
For pleasure like this
Did I have to lose control
To treasure your kiss
Did I need to place my heart
In the palm of your hand
Before I could even start
To understand

It’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself
It’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find my life
I find myself
It’s only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself

Surrender (Tempt)

Laying on your holy bed
By the hallowed goal
Feeling like an infidel
Not worthy of your call
Tainted by your innocence
Beckoned to my fate
I won't face the consequence
I wouldn't hesitate

CHORUS:

I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah!

Shackled like an animal
Chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice
To love's eternal fires
Tame me with your tenderness
And break my brittle heart
Easily an allied girl
You tear my world apart

CHORUS

We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel

CHORUS

CHORUS - Martin only
