Sweet Sacrifice

It’s true, we’re all a little insane
but it’s 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 its 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 your sober

Don’t cry to me
If you loved me
you would be here with me
you want me
come find me
make 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

Don’t cry to me
If you loved me
you would be here with me
you want me
come find me
make 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

Don’t cry to me
if you loved me
you would be here with me
you want me
come find me
make up your mind

You never call me when you’re sober
you only want it cause it’s over

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine

So don’t cry to me
if you love me
you would be here with me
don’t lie to me
just get your things
I’ve made up your mind.

Weight of the world
 
 Feels like the weight of the world
 like God in heaven gave me a turn
 don’t cling to me, I swear I can’t 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 wont 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 through life
 
 If you love me, then let go of me
 I wont be held down by who I used to be
 

Lithium
 
 Lithium- don’t want to 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 to 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 to let it 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 to 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
 

Cloud nine

If you want to live, let live
if you want to go, let go
I’m not afraid to dream- to sleep, sleep forever
I don’t need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high
and 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 want to live, let live
if you want to 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
no light to lead the way
remember that all alone
is 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
no light to lead the way
remember that all alone is where I belong

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 

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

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
 

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 it’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 it’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
 
The only one
 
 When they all come crashing down - mid-flight
 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
 

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
 
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
Good enough
 
 Under your spell again
 I can’t say no to you
 crave my heart and it’s 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
 it’s 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
