Dizzy

You’re cynical and beautiful You always make a scene You’re monochrome delirious You’re nothing that you seem I’m drowning in your vanity Your laugh is a disease You’re dirty and you’re sweet You know you’re everything I need Chorus: Everything you are Falls from the sky like a star Everything you are Whatever ever you want I wanna kick at the machine That made you piss away your dreams And tear at your defenses Till there’s nothing there but me You’re angry when you’re beautiful Your love is such tease I’m drowning in your dizzy noise I wanna feel you scream Chorus

Slide

Could you whisper in my ear The things you wanna feel I give you anything To feel it comin’ Do you wake up on your own And wonder where you are You live with all your faults Chorus: I wanna wake up where you are I won’t say anything at all So why don’t you slide Yeah we’re gonna let it slide Don’t you love the life you killed The priest is on the phone Your father hit the wall Your ma disowned you Don’t suppose I’ll ever know What it means to be a man Something I can’t change I’ll live around it Chorus And I’ll do anything you ever Dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothing that fall May put your arms around me What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful May do you wanna get married Or run away And I’ll do anything you ever Dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothing that fall May put your arms around me What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful May do you wanna get married Or run away Chorus

Broadway

Chorus: Broadway is dark tonight A little bit weaker than you used to be Broadway is dark tonight See the young man sitting In the old man’s bar Waiting for his turn to die The cowboy kills the rock star And Friday night’s gone too far The dim light hides the years On all the faded girls Forgotten but not gone You drink it off your mind You talk about the world Like it’s someplace that you’ve been You see you’d love to run home But you know you ain’t got one And you’re livin’ in a world That you’re best forgotten around here Chorus You choke down all your anger Forget your only son You pray to statues when you sober up for fun Your anger don’t impress me The world slapped in your face It always rains like hell on the losers day parade You see you’d love to run home But you know you ain’t got one ’Cause you’re livin’ in a world that you’re best forgotten And when you’re thinkin’ of a joke And nobody’s gonna listen To the one small point I know they been missin’ round here Chorus You see you’d love to run home But you know you ain’t got one ’Cause you’re livin’ in a world That you’re best forgotten And if you’re thinkin’ of a joke Do you think that they’ll listen To the one small point I know they been missin’ round here Chorus

January Friend

Reach For higher ground About the way you look The way you scream out loud Mine Just like the last time It’s all the same to me She said Chorus: Let’s pretend My January friend I’m wantin’ you again I wanna touch you Every single heart that beats pretend My January friend I’m wantin’ you again I wanna touch you Every single heart that beats Cry Don’t cry out loud You’ve gotta bear your cross But never think too loud And you’re tied Tied to the next time You realize Your crimes Chorus Time stood still Monday morning yeah. . . Showed me what I had to see It’s not the way I thought it should be Oh yeah You’re my January friend You’re my January friend You’re my January friend And every heart that beats pretend My January friend You’re my January friend You’re my January friend And every heart that beats tonight’s pretend

Black Balloon

I almost fell into that hole in your life And you’re not thinking about tomorrow ’Cause you were the same as me But on your knees A thousand other boys could never reach you How could I have been the one I saw the world spin beneath you And scatter like ice from the spoon That was your womb Comin’ down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder Or are you someone’s prayer You know the lies they always told you And the love you never knew What’s the things they never showed you That swallowed the light from the sun Inside your room Comin’ down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder And there’s no time left for losin’ When you stand they fall Comin’ down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you grow colder All because I’m Comin’ down the years turn over And angels fall without you there And I’ll go on to bring you home All because I’m All because I’m And I’ll become What you became to me

Bullet Proof

Do you listen to yourself Ever live for someone else Do you like the way you feel Nothing hurts when no one’s real She wants to shake this scene Yeah she wants to shake with me She’s not looking for the holes in all the lies I wanna bullet proof your soul Would you like to lose control I won’t let you fall until you tell me so What are we? (Watcha wanna be) Everything! That you wanna be All I need (Right in front of me) I’ve known before Chorus: Would you come my way Or did you burn out on the way Would you come my way Should have listened when you called my name Yeah she wants to tear you down And she leaves without a sound It’s like fallin’ backwards Into no one’s arms You’re a bullet through my soul But I’ll never let you know I won’t let you fall until you let it go What are we? (Watcha wanna be) Everything! That you wanna be All I need (Right in front of me) I’ve known before Would you come my way Did you burn out on the way Would you come my way Should have listened When you called my name

Amigone

Every time you point your finger 3 more point right back at you I’m not sayin’ that it’s something wrong with life ’Cause that’s a sad excuse An age old game of rat and mouse Chasin’ us from house to house I’m not sayin’ that is something wrong with you Is wrong with me as well Are you alive Amigone . . .Miracles gone wrong Is it to late to call and tell you to be strong Are you alive Amigone . . .Miracles gone wrong Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong Amigone Heavenly intoxication Love’s been marred by medication Ain’t it funny how a life can take a turn When the end is near Are you alive Amigone Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong Are you alive Amigone Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong Amigone I’m not sayin’ that it’s something I’m not gonna play along I’m not wishin’ for a miracle That miracle’s gone wrong And you’re too strong Amigone Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong Are you alive Amigone Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong Are you alive Amigone Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong Are you alive Amigone Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong Amigone

All eyes on me

Daylight burns your sleepy eyes Its hard to see you dreaming You hide inside yourself I wondered what you’re thinkin’ And everything you’re chasing It seems to leave you empty Chorus: And it won’t take long to burn Through the nothing that you’ve learned And the things you choose to be All eyes on me But your eyes look away It’s so hard to be someone Strung out from today And all that you knew slips away You drown in deeper oceans Inventing new religions They smile and stab my back I lie and have to laugh Chorus And you hide in your room And the light burns away And you move from the truth It’s all so far from you

Full Forever

And I’ve had to fight Another blurred affair tonight Eyelids wrestle once again Never gonna see my friend Guided by the blinding white Have you left home in spite Knowing I’m alone tonight Waiting for the light of day Doesn’t matter anyway Something that I need to say And I’ve gone underground Never hangin’ round Should have made it back again Chorus: Why can’t the moon stay full forever Wednesday’s bad but Friday ain’t much better . . .Someone’s hell Why can’t the moon stay full forever Right now she’s got nothin’ on her mind Will this neverland Free me from its clutching hand It won’t release me And I’ve gone underground Obsessions I have found Couldn’t make it back again Chorus

Acoustic #3

They painted up your secrets With the lies they told you And the least they ever gave you Was the most you ever knew And I wonder where these dreams go When the world gets in your way What’s the point in all this screaming No one’s listening anyway Your voice is small and fading And you hide in here unknown And your mother loves your father ’Cause she’s got nowhere to go And she wonders where these dreams go ’Cause the world got in her way What’s the point ever trying Nothing’s changing anyway They press their lips against you And you love the lies they say And I tried so hard to reach you But you’re falling anyway And you know I see right through you When the world gets in your way What’s the point in all the screaming You’re not listening anyway

Iris

And I’d give up forever to touch you ’Cause I know that you feel me somehow You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be And I don’t wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it’s over I just don’t wanna miss you tonight Chorus: And I don’t want the world to see me ’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies And you bleed just to know you’re alive Chorus

Extra Pale

Extra pale Oh you’re frail now I shouldn’t laugh about it Tragedy sets you free I should have known it from the start I should have known that it was Just another sequel Just another reason for you How’s your day Did it go your way but You never ask about it All the things I wish I’d be I Should have known it from the start I should have known that it was Just another sequel Just another reason for you Just another sequel Just another reason for your sighs Extra pale Oh you’re frail now I shouldn’t laugh about it Tragedy sets you free but I should have known that it was Just another sequel Just another reason for you Just another sequel Just another reason for your lies

Hate this place

Gone away Who knows where you been You take all your lies And wish them all away I somehow doubt We’ll ever be the same There’s too much poison And confusion on your face Can you feel it I didn’t mean it Can I see you What are we doin’ I think I love you But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ you don’t know Hold on dreamaway You’re my sweet charade Take your time Move yourself to me Yeah I can take your lies Until you fall away You know I’m lost Hiding in your bed No I don’t think it’s wrong It’s just gone to my head Can you feel it I didn’t mean it Can I see you What are we doin’ I think I love you But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ you don’t know Hold on dreamaway You’re my sweet charade Hey watcha do to me Would you come back to me Yeah I can’t do another day I’m not certain of it anyway I’m not messin’ with another life Can I get on without you Tell me lies That you Know I need Hold on dreamaway You’re my sweet charade Hold on dreamaway You’re my sweet charade
