Chain
what was it that drew us together
what was it that split us apart
I find it hard to be around you
since we decided that love is too hard
I don't like to be just your friend
I miss the obsessions we shared
we're both accustomed to being alone
but loneliness made us feel scared
we try to ignore one another
but we both know it's only pretend
there's still a connection between us
our story has not reached its end
I know most of your secrets
and you know most of mine
nobody else understands us
these are the chains that bind
I cannot let go the desire
I cannot be free of the pain
you'll always be that dark other
that keeps me a little insane

Circles
As I walk, the cold wind whispers your name into my ear
I feel so electric when I know that you are near
You have always been my demon, you have always been my muse
I cannot deny you, neither can I choose
Did I know you in another time or in another space
the wheel keeps turning round and round, there's no ending to the race
Was I reaching out to touch a ghost or peering deep inside
Did I dream you, did you dream me, or did we sleepwalk side by side
Circles sometimes intersect and pathways sometimes meet
Do you gaze at clouds above your head or watch the ground beneath your feet
I've heard the questions you don't ask, seen the wonder in your face
I've journeyed off to distant lands, yet walked a million steps in place
Sometimes when I'm crazy i believe that I am free
Laugh out loud and strong and no reason do I need
Sometimes in despair I try to keep the world away
Hide away in silence for I've nothing more to say
The angel in me begs, you are no good for me
The devil in me taunts me, you are just what I need
I look into the mirror and I speak to whom I see
the face behind the glass just smiles but he never answers me
Sometimes circles intersect, sometimes worlds collide
Did I dream her, did she dream me
or did we sleepwalk side by side
Did I dream her, did she dream me
or did we sleepwalk side by side
Sometimes circles intersect, sometimes worlds collide
Did I dream her, did she dream me
or did we sleepwalk side by side
did we sleepwalk side by side

Love So Damaged

love so damaged
When the full moon activates your madness
and you turn away and flee
makes me wonder why i keep trying
then you come back again to me
you're scared of what you want the most
you pull me in then push away
what's going on inside your head
why do you look at me that way
I'm not your god I'm not your savior
can't fight all your ghosts for you
I'm not the devil I'm not evil
just a man who thinks he might want to love you
Don't know who you are from day to day
what's going on inside your head
when i see that certain look in your eye
I know you're standing near the edge
i don't need you to be perfect
you're perfect enough for me the way you are
It doesn't scare me that you're a little damaged
everyone alive has got some scars
Everything is so black and white with you
do you really believe the things you say
your eyes tell me that you've lost control
why do you look at me that way
Walking backwards with a blindfold
through the warzone of your mind
every step could be my last one
don't know what traps that I will find
slowdancing with a shadow
I can't keep ahold of you
I get so close but you're elusive
and I don't know just what to do
When you're happy you're ecstatic
I'm helpless when you smile at me
on darker days you're a monster
treat me like I'm the enemy
I'm not your god I'm not your savior
if you're looking for someone to revere
I'm not the devil I'm not evil
if you're looking for someone you must fear
what's going on inside your head
don't know who you are from day to day
don't know what keeps me chasing after you
I must be crazy like they say

Blues for Pink and Black

Blues for Pink and Black
A year's gone by
and then another
And I had thought that I was over you
I'd thought that I was over you
Now you're in my life again
and it's like you'd had never left
I don't want to think about you
but I cannot escape
Day after day
Day after day
I told myself I was better off without you
Night after night
I struggled to keep you out of my head
I fought back the images of you
your face
your voice
your laugh
the way you move
your eyes
and the way they haunt me
and now you've come back
and it's like nothing has ever changed
I guess I was fooling myself
for I find I can't stop
still wanting you
but I am afraid
the pain that you brought me has never left
and I fear the pain
that you'll bring me again

Another World
08:28
|
|||
You swore you'd love me til the end of time
I guess that times's now come to its close
You said you couldn't handle the intensity
I never asked you for anything more than your very soul
There's another world just inside my head
where we still walk together hand-in-hand
What is real and what is dream I don't know anymore
I need a way to understand
Your voice still echoes through my mind
You took a part of me away
I had thought that I was much stronger than this
but I still feel you everyday
There's another world just inside my head
I open the door and you are there
I cannot tell what is real anymore
It doesn't matter, I don't care
I've looked for so many ways to erase you
There is nothing that i have found
Sex, art, booze, magic, music, work, religion---
All of these thing have let me down
There's another world just inside my head
where you still call out my name
Sometimes I go there for a little while
for in that world I feel no pain
There's another world just inside my head
where we still walk along hand-in-hand together
I can hear you calling out my name
As we dance through time forever
There's another world just inside my head
In that world we're still together
I can hear you call out my name
as we dance through time forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

Gone
07:43
|

Gone
the fire is slowly burning down
but the moon is rising bright and bold
outside the window i can hear the wind howl
but inside is where it's cold
It's time for almost any kind of change
this life has gone on for far too long
it's too late now to try to remember
forgotten words to forgotten songs
you don't know how to pick your battles
your war goes on and on and on
if all the things you say are really what you feel
then it is time for moving on
thirteen days in October
the game is over, no one wins
I'm so numb like there's no blood left in my veins
I feel the waves come crashing in
I feel the waves come crashing in
Once upon a time I fell for you
ever since those days I've gone through hell for you
now I'm walking away from you
I'm coming back to me
I'm walking away from you
I'm coming back to me
I'm not hoping anymore
I'm not praying anymore
I'm not searching anymore
I'm not playing anymore
I'm walking away from you
I'm coming back to me
thirteen years in October
left me nothing I can hold
the wind tears at every living thing out there
but inside is where it's cold
thirteen thousand days and nights in October
never thought it would bring us here
It's finally time to face our sins
for we've left no sins to fear
nothing now will ever be the same
you can go ahead and forget my name
if all the things you say are really what you feel
then you won't have to miss me when I'm gone
It's time time to face our sins
for we've no sins left but fear
I'm so numb like there's no blood left in my veins
and I know there's nothing left for me here
the wind is coming through the door
you can go ahead and forget my name
you won't have to miss me when I'm gone
I feel the waves come crashing in

Empty

Empty
I've got all the time in the world now
all this time I waste
I've got all the room I thought i needed
all this empty space
I've got more money in my pocket
but there's nothing that I can buy
to help me forget that I miss you
ever since we said goodbye
when I'm awake you are my thoughts
when I'm asleep you are my dreams
I've got so much more of everything now
but it all means nothing to me
I can't stand to go back
to the places where we used to go
people ask me where you are
I don't know what to say
I just don't know
I can't look at the things you left behind
I can't get you out of my mind
I still think I see you out there
somewhere, every day
I can go anywhere
any time that I want
but there's no place that I know
that will help me to forget
that I miss you
ever since you decided to go
I never realized until too late
how much you meant to me
I never realized until now
How much you mean to me
There's no where i can go
there's nothing I can do
that will help me to forget
for a moment
how much
I miss you
I've got so much more
of every thing else now
but without you here
it all means nothing to me
it all means nothing to me

Reflections
07:54
|

Reflections
In your eyes
like mirrors carved of obsidian
I can see reflections of the fires deep inside
In your eyes
two pools of black still water
I see reflections of dark desires that you can't hide
In your eyes
Your words are spiced with scorn
though your voice gives you away
your touch tells me that you need me
though you refuse to say
you know that you can use me
and that I know I'm being used
you will never lose me
for I need to use you too
thee are so many reasons that we should not come together
but we still do
tell me what it is that you want the most
and I'll be that for you
In your eyes
I see myself
looking back at me
looking back at you
In your eyes
I see the reasons for all the things we do
reflections of all our days and nights
stretching back so far
reflections of who we once were
that's turned into who we are
pictures of a world we built
that's just for you and I
a world that will always last
as long as we are alive
In your eyes
like mirrors of obsidian
I see reflections of the fires burning deep inside
in your eyes
two pools of still black water
I see reflectios of dark desires that you can't hide
you can never hide
reflections
that you can never hide
in your eyes
reflections...

dark to darkness
05:55
|

I find myself here again with you
where there are no shadows
where laughter comes easy
like a moth to the flame
I'm with you again
walking and laughing with my old friend
but I've forged a chain
and now I must wear it
night falls, she calls
I pick up my chain
and I head out into the dark again
Pieces of my life don't all fit together
to make what I'd call a very pretty picture
Dreams I have of you seem so much better
than the nightmare I've chosen
to be with your dark sister
Creature of comfort, creature of habit
that which I crave, it seems I can't have it
I follow my nature
not my head nor my heart
I follow my nature
to a place where it's dark
why must i want what i shouldn't have
why am I drawn to the shadow, to the fire
why only in darkness do I find my desire
I pick up my chain
and I head into the night again
she will not love me but she will have me
so I leave you alone again
and we both wonder why
we look at one another and we both wonder why
the darkness calls and I must follow
so I leave you alone again
and we both wonder why
she that would love me will not have me
she that would have me will not love me
so I leave you alone again
I leave you alone again
and we both wonder why

Happier Now

Happier Now
so the party is over
the lights have grown dim
you'd like to start over
but your chances are slim
the laughter has stopped
the crying's begun
dreams have faded
where do you run
now you're apart
the memories changed
everything in your life has become re-arranged
you got just what you wanted
why aren't you happier now
you got what you wanted
are you happier now
so you drove him away
cursed when he ran
good times are over
the bad times began
now everything's different, everything's changed
everything in your life
has become very strange
didn't know how you'd feel
but you know now
is it more to your liking
are you happier now
is this what you'd pictured
are you happier now
she wasn't perfect
but neither were you
now you are free
don't know what to do
awake all night
sick with the feeling
cannot sleep
stare at the ceiling
thought it'd be better
if you were apart
you put a great metal stake
right through your own heart
he won't answer your call
she won't answer your call
maybe there's someone else...
drove each other crazy
drove each other away
when does the sun rise
on that brand new day
she won't answer your call
he won't answer your call
maybe there's someone else now
since you went away
she's not thinking about you these days
why should you care
how the memories change
you got what you wanted
why is that not okay
how the memories change
are you happier now
he won't answer your call
she won't answer your call
you got what you wanted
why is that not okay

Running Out of Air

Running out of Air
Running out of time
running out of space
running out of patience
I'm running out of air
when I want you
you're never there
when I want you
you're never there
running out of room
running out of steam
running out of patience
running out of air
running out of reasons I should care
when I need you the most
you're never there
when I want you
when I want you
when i need you
you're never there
I've been waiting so long
I'm tired of waiting so long
waiting for you to make up your mind
you've been searching so long
what did you think
what did you think you would find
I can't live in your world
and I guess you can't live in mine
tired of waiting
this has all gone wrong
tired of waiting
running out of time
you've got no more excuses
no more alibis
no more explanations
no more need to lie
I've got no more reasons I should care

Never Let Go
06:27

Never let Go
if you're really coming back
then I will let you know
I won't hold you quite so tight
but I'll never let you go
if you're really coming back
I'll remember what I've learned
I'll be careful this time
play with fire you get burned
you had changed so much
the time to break had come
but I soon discovered I didn't like
the person I had become
tried to fill the void you left
but nothing satisfied
music sounded hollow
the artist in me died
freedom to do just what I want
left me at a loss
i had no idea
just what that freedom cost
we're not strangers anymore
we know each other well
perhaps this time we'll get it right
for we've spent our time in hell
so if you're really coming back
there's something you should know
I won't hold you quite so tight
but I'll never let you go
I won't hold you quite so tight
but I'll never let you go

Lover You're Not Done Yet
I hesitate to tell you this
for I fear you may take it wrong
you've got witch's eyes
you've got witch's eyes
they enchant me
I am spellbound
what kind of hex have you put on me
I never want to escape
i have a thousand songs to sing you
i have a million words to tell you
lover you're not done yet
are you real or just my fantasy
for you move through my life like a ghost
lover you're not done yet
you keep your hair bound up
I wish to feel it brush my face
lover you're not done yet
when you've walked through a room before me
I always know you've been there
for your scent is alive
it is burned into my brain
try as hard as i might
as close as I've come
it seems I can never quite reach you
lover you're not done yet
lover you're not done yet
lover you're not done yet
are you real or just my fantasy
for you move through my life like a ghost
what kind of hex have you put on me
I am spellbound
try as hard as i might
as close as I've come
it seems I can never quite reach you
i have a thousand songs to sing you
i have a million words to tell you
lover you're not done yet
lover you're not done yet
