Creatures of Love
02:51
|
|||
|
night after night
we dance until nothing
makes sense anymore
until time just falls on the floor
it's just a science
a meaningless concept
we're creatures of love
breathing desire in and out
so let's just wait to unravel
like our parents before us
let's just throw away the key
tonight
day after day
we work our minds away
until we start hating everyone we talk to
it's just a science
a meaningless exit
we're creatures of love
dancing desire in and out

Starting To Burn
03:54
|
|||
|
there's a candle by the nightstand
a light fire by the bed
and you're smiling right beside me
like an angel in my head
it's a circle that keeps turning
your eyes speak words i don't hear
like bells that never ring
you say softly that you love me
and i whisper back the same
now, it's coming to a close, dear
our love story, our fairytale
why do things have to close down
why do curtains have to burn
i may be tired but i'm breathing
i need a straight line to curve
now that the deal is done
and the paper has to fold
and the stamp has to seal
the deal of the final reel
what do we say
when do we pay
when do we leave
what do we believe
everything that occurred
so it's coming to a close, dear
our love story, our fairytale
why do things have to close down
why do books have to burn
i'm so tired, i'm still breathing
i'm just starting to learn
so tired, still breathing
starting to burn

Lust and Desire
03:54
|
|||
|
we meet in the park
sunlight in the dark
taking few steps
into a spider's web
we breathe a sigh
of relief tonight
our future lies
our past goodbyes
just lust and desire
setting our hearts on fire
setting our hearts on fire
just lust and desire
setting our hearts on fire
setting our hearts on fire
whenever i'm with you
all my dreams comes true
i take a stand
when i hold your hand
i choose to ignore
what i've heard
times before
as long as you're here
the question of fear
remains in a box
it closes and locks
as long as you're here
there's nothing to fear
you're always my dear
i will keep you near
as long as you're here

Take It Slow
02:12
|
|||
|
just take it slow
just take a walk
alone
by the shore
just take a look
at that book
you wrote
when you were cold
just take a while
to make a plan
to hold my hand
just take a while
to hold my hand
just take my heart
when you are done
with that one
just take a breath
before you bite
into
something whole
just take a while
before you break
into a song
just take a while
to break a heart
just take a while
to make a plan
to hold my hand
just take a while
to hold my hand

Taken My Heart
02:03
|
|||
|
you've taken my heart
you've failed from the start
i'll never get far
away from you now
you've taken it all
you've broken the parts
the ones that i've tried to keep safe all my life
now i'll never see the good in anybody else
now i'm just bound to leave every other party
you've taken my heart
it's broken apart
you're saving the good parts for yourself
you've taken my heart
you've broken the part
i needed to see the good in you
now i'll never know when someone sees me
the same way that you once saw me
now i am blind
blinded by love
blinded by what i want to see

I Got Slapped
03:28
|
|||
|
it was a sharp sting
i felt it in my heart
it was a dark, cold creature
it turned my heart into shards
a wound is a wound
a bruise is way bitter
i took your car out
only a mile ride, brother
i got slapped
so hard i saw myself
ten years from now
holding back forever
look down from the clouds
stop acting proud
what gives you the right
you are not my father
if i crashed it down
and buried it underground
i would have understood
but i brought it back right away
i got slapped
so hard i saw myself
ten years from now
holding back forever
i got slapped
so hard i saw myself
ten years from now
holding back forever

Unmade Bed
03:02
|
|||
|
i thought you were gonna stay
now, i see your wings are spread
what is it that always drew you
to a lonely girl's unmade bed
you're so prepared to take flight
i think you'll cancel me tonight
you're so prepared to take flight
i think you'll cancel me tonight
don't you know, don't you see
can't save a stone from sinking
touch her heart, touch her skin
can't just cancel everything
you're so prepared to take flight
i think you'll cancel me tonight

Campus
04:42
|
|||
|
i hear the bell
it's calling my name
and i see this boy
making his way
down the dirty drain
to the school library
where the pages wither
where some heavy sleeper
gives way for us to sneak out
oh the campus, oh the terror
oh the horror, oh the horror
i follow this boy
with his thin lips
i ask him something
i've been dying to know it
aren't you the janitor
he doesn't know his answer
he doesn't hear me
so i fell out
of my reverie
oh the campus, oh the terror
oh the horror, oh the horror

Hero
03:17
|
|||
|
i remember when we were in grade school
i quivered when you looked at me
it was as if i was on top of a tower
i just didn't know what to say
you're this hero who saves lives everyday
it was as if you had a choice not to
and now, my nights go from black to blue
i count my minutes and try to mold them to decades
it's like i cannot rise above all the madness
do you know how many times i tried to evade you?
\i just didn't know what to say
\and i was melting under your stare
what did you want to say, what ran through your bones
was it pity or some kind of memory

Reality Bites
03:45
|
|||
|
i'm hanging by a chord
i'm curling up my toes
waiting for your call
waiting for you to fall
saving all my love
for someone i dream of
one day, i'll just see
the reality
the reality
the reality
twisting in your sheets
crying as you leave
do you listen to me
do you feel sorry
do you feel the doubt
saving all my love
for someone i dream of
one day, i'll just see
the reality

Burn Under The Sun
03:21
|
|||
|
i will burn under the sun
you know how much i hate
how people use their guns
it's better this way
no one else has to know
because how it happens usually
tears just flow
i don't wanna hear them sobbing
when the shot hits their ears
it's better that i just wait
for the heat to turn to hate
for the heat to turn to hate
assembled my make up
gave my clothes away
cleaned up my bed
for the very first time
an organized crime
and i ask will it be enough
to just lie there waiting
while the sun is shining
but what if it rains
and what if it hurts
before i begin to boil
my body into soil

Housewife's Lament
03:39
|
|||
|
you don't know what i do for you
every day after you go to work
you leave a hurricane spinning around
you leave me bouncing across and up and down
i clean it up
i iron things out
i turn off the water
i clean my mouth
i sweep them all
out of your way
i turn off the gas
i close my eyes and pray
you don't know what i do for you
every dawn before you go to school
while you're dreaming of stars
i'm sitting here, counting my burns and scars
i sweep them all
out of your way
i turn off the gas
or i leave it on for you
in a matter of minutes
a fire can sweep across the room
in a matter of minutes
a fire can sweep across
a matter of minutes
a matter of time

Halos
03:26
|
|||
|
just another kind of travelling
riding through halos
using lots of pseudonyms
and catching the rainfall
our hands just drying
it's not time to iron things out
our mouths just lying
it's not time to say i'm sorry
but tomorrow, i'll be gone again
to the deep blue ocean
so we better talk now
so i could get some sleep
you're never out to get me
because you never could
you're never out to chase me
because i chase you
|

i know the way it goes so don't you fret you don't need to tell me
i know the way it is so don't you say those things to annoy me
i know the way life is so don't you die today just to show me
i know the time of the day so don't you stay awake just to shake me
i believe it's the same kind of lie
i believe it's the same kind of lie
i know the mistake i can make when you don't pay much attention
i know that your focus can stray away once i fail to mention
i know your desires can fly giving way to a dark delusion
i know your mind is fickle enough to ruin the best thing in our lives
i believe it's the same kind of lie
same kind of lie
it's the kind of lie
the can hold things together
it's the kind of lie
that can build our lives
that can build our future
the kind of lie
we need to tell sometimes
so we can stay together
the kind of lie
the kind of lie
