your eyes
they never meet mine
when i need you
whenever i seek your name
i need your touch
don't you know
i've been by myself too much
will you stay here
i know that i look like
i would be much stronger
but i'm just another
big pretender
what you see
is not what you will get
when it comes to me
i'm not your enemy
keep me company
i burn bright in the night
i need your touch
don't you know
i've been by myself too much
will you stay here
i know that i look like
i would be much stronger
but i'm just another
big pretender
what you see
is not what you will get

on the brink
04:39
|

|
you're gonna make me love you
more than i love myself
you're gonna make me disappear
put my soul in the shelf
and i just know it
i know you'll turn me to somebody else
and i won't complain
i think you know
i'm on the brink
of falling from this earth
of making myself disappear
you're gonna make me jump into
the fire and burn myself
you're gonna make me cut my flesh
into shards and nothing else
and i just know it
i'm sure you'll turn me to somebody else
and i won't complain
i think you know
i'm on the brink
of falling from this earth
of making myself disappear
they say i need to love myself
but it's hard to fid the day
they say i need some self respect
but i can never find the way
and i just know it
i know it's better to be somebody else
and i got no name
i think you know
i'm on the brink
of falling from this earth
of making myself disappear

swim in the shallow end
so you don't pretend
too hard you forget your name
swim in the shallows
when they never
when they can't remember
your name
i will wait here
i am waiting for you to
come back to me
i will let you go
but you will know
that i'm waiting
that i'm here waiting
that i'm here
lighting the torch
keeping the light on
keeping the fire burning
keeping the light on
keeping the candles burning for you
open for you
keeping the candles burning for you

risk it all
04:06
|

|
the first time we met
it felt like a giant wave
hitting against a shore
i pulled back from it all
but you pushed farther
can't escape
even if i wanted to
i made mistakes
you just forgave
now, it's the same blue sky
that we fall under by
we hang ourselves to dry
ignoring the reasons why
this could be
a losing bet
we just might
end up with regrets
but you say
it's for the best
risk it all
challenge met
and as i shudder in fear
i only shiver
as it feels real
with you
you make me feel brand new
this could be
a losing bet
we just might
end up with regrets
but you say
it's for the best
risk it all
challenge met

set her alight
03:37
|
|||
|
she opens the door
walks over to you
she flashes her eyes
and you give a smile
a cigarette on her lips
dangling for a strike
of electric desire
set her alight
set her on fire
i know you hear
the alarm
but there's no one here
no harm
you parted ways
left with a gaze
of how the past and
the future amaze
a little dream
to keep you asleep
please make it short
please make it brief
set her alight
set her on fire
i know you hear
the alarm
but there's no one here
no harm

so u know
03:13

|
i know you think it's a losing game
but it's not, you're wrong
i've got the winning case
i can clear this haze
see the light of day
so you know
so we're clear
pick yourself from the floor
your moment's near
so you know
so we're clear
you can open the door
i'm just here
i know you think there's no chance
but there is, we've won
i've got the winning hand
i can hear the band
see the rising sun
so you know
so we're clear
pick yourself from the floor
your moment's near
so you know
so we're clear
you can open the door
i'm just here
yes you have been used to
hearing the bad news
so you know
so we're clear
pick yourself from the floor
your moment's near
so you know
so we're clear
you can open the door
i'm just here

will u listen 2 me
02:45
|
|||
|
let's cover some ground
by talking it out
i'm tired of the hurt
so i throw some dirt
your way
so undeserved
your way
i only want to be heard
will you listen to me
when i'm yelling in the streets
or under the sheets
am i better off alone
deliberate now
it's a broken vow
don't wanna sleep
need to bury the beast
will you listen to me
when i'm yelling in the streets
or under the sheets
am i better off alone

u make mistakes
05:04
|
|||
|
you crack a smile
she waits a little while
for you to make your move
walk across the room
you make mistakes
like you're never awake
you make mistakes
she knows your heart
she can tell you apart
from the rest of them
standing to the test
you make mistakes
like you're never awake
you make mistakes
you believe in her
and always remember
the pain you will leave
when you deceive
you make mistakes
like you're never awake
you make mistakes
don't make mistakes
i'm too easy to break
you make mistakes
like you're never awake
you make mistakes

spare me
the truth
spare me
don't wanna hear the cold hard truth
i'm looking for kindness
l'm looking for kind words
from you
why don't you sugar coat it
why don't you sugar coat it for me
i don't need you to be harsh
the rest of the world is bad enough
the rest of the world is bad enough
so i need you to be tough
for me
be careful
with me
handle me with kid's gloves
handle me with kid's gloves
kid's hands
kid's gloves
kid's hands
kid's gloves
kiss me with kindness please
kiss me with kindness please
i need tenderness
i need tender mercy
kill me with kindness please
kill me with kindness please

i'm an airborne disease
fulfilling your wish
of oblivion
of oblivion
i'm finding my way in
timing is everything
meridian
meridian
do i see you falling for me
do i see you falling
following every rule
forgiving all the fools
equilibrium
equilibrium
do i see you falling for me
do i see you falling
there's not much to say
to break the spell
to spell your name
unmask yourself
uncover your face
make me confused
make me feel dazed
for always
do i see you falling for me
do i see you falling
unmask yourself
uncover your face
make me confused
make me feel dazed
for always
