Someone speaks Through a broken dream And a bleeding heart Now you see They can’t hear you when you scream Feel the chill It goes down your spine In a darkened world All I see Is your soul will now resign If you can Make it out alive Do you even know Now you see There’s just one way to survive Roll the dice Panic closes in Will this be the one All I see You can’t hide away within You open up your mind Where evil sleeps between the lines And danger comes When the light goes out And a stranger calls You grip the fear inside Where evil creeps behind the lies And danger comes When the night draws out And a stranger calls Morning comes And another day It’s just like before Now you see That your spirit fades away No return There’s no looking back From a static scene All I see Is the monsters will attack You open up your mind Where evil sleeps between the lines And danger comes When the light goes out And a stranger calls You grip the fear inside Where evil creeps behind the lies And danger comes When the night draws out And a stranger calls Play the victim Play the part It’s your time now Take the pain And let it start It’s your time You open up your mind Where evil sleeps between the lines And danger comes When the light goes out And a stranger calls You grip the fear inside Where evil creeps behind the lies And danger comes When the night draws out And a stranger calls When a stranger calls When a stranger calls When a stranger calls When a stranger calls

So Gone 03:58
Do you exist If I can’t see you there Fate binds us together now This shameless twisted pair Silent witness A dagger in my eye You live life inside a frame We can’t deny (We cannot deny) You tried to hold on for so long You were wrong So wrong And nothing will make you belong Now you're gone So gone Do you believe In all the things you say Blinded by the satellites The truth begins to grey Tear the pieces We vandalize the past You're not who you say you are This strike won't last (This strike will not last) You tried to hold on for so long You were wrong So wrong And nothing will make you belong Now you're gone So gone Fall away from me (Now you're gone) Far away from me Fall away from me (Now you're gone) Far away from me You tried to hold on for so long You were wrong So wrong And nothing will make you belong Now you're gone So gone

The horizon Marks the emptiness Under my skin I’m weary I confess Oh father, can you hear me Oh mother, please forgive me I’m surrounded By desolation And I’m not the only one Standing nearer To my salvation I’m still blinded by the sun No more heroes It’s my destiny Lifting me close I see now It calls me Oh father, can you hear me Oh mother, please forgive me I’m surrounded By desolation And I’m not the only one Standing nearer To my salvation I’m still blinded by the sun Here on my own With nowhere left to run I have no home I’m blinded by the sun I’m surrounded By desolation And I’m not the only one Standing nearer To my salvation I’m still blinded by the sun You can't see me Not at all Will you catch me When I fall Here on my own With nowhere left to run I have no home I’m blinded by the sun Stars colliding Darkness rising As the days go by Friends abandoned Empty handed Time to say goodbye Here on my own With nowhere left to run I have no home I’m blinded by the sun

You are the only person I know But I take you round to people who are on the go Well you took me to a picture show And what's the first thing I see But them burning pictures of my head to toe, hey! I'm not an effigy, no, no! I asked you if you would be mad If I packed my things and moved away to faraway land Well I packed my things and I moved to this place And what's the first thing I see But them burning pictures of me in my face, hey! I'm not an effigy, no, no! Well I moved back from this faraway land Walked right into a room with me mum and me dad Well I saw my picture hanging on the wall They tried to rip it and burn it But it just withstood it all and I said hey! I'm not an effigy I'm not angry I'm not an effigy... hey! Well walking around this stinking town I look up at the buildings and they get me down Well I look to my left and then I look to my right And then I realize they've been striking at me Since the middle of last night, hey! I'm not an effigy

So soon just after you've gone My senses sharpen But it always takes so damn long Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory On the table, signs of love lies scattered And the walls break, with a crashing within It's not as though, as though you really mattered But being close, how could I let you go Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb with a thought, with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory With a careless memory, with a careless memory Oh, I walk out into the sun, I try to find a new day But the whole place just screams in my eyes Where are you now 'cause I don't want to meet you I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you I know I'd cry, what am I supposed to do, follow you? Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now I just try to forget you So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory With a careless memory, with a careless memory Look out, look out, look out, look out

You can see my face I don’t care You can talk to me If you dare You are the one to fall apart There’s no sign of life tonight It’s never too late All I see All I feel Wrap my eyes Covered in black In the dark In the light My disguise Begins to crack I can see your face You don’t care I can talk to you If I dare You are the one to self destruct There’s no sympathy tonight It’s never enough All I see All I feel Wrap my eyes Covered in black In the dark In the light My disguise Begins to crack Are you watching me Wrap my eyes Covered in black I’m still watching you My disguise Begins to crack We have cut the line Everytime Only one way back for us We have lost our way Every day Only time will tell for us All I see All I feel Wrap my eyes Covered in black In the dark In the light My disguise Begins to crack Are you watching me Wrap my eyes Covered in black I’m still watching you My disguise Begins to crack

Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights, I saw you So cruelly, you kissed me Your lips, a magic world Your sky, all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him To him To him To him

Listen To all the lies they tell Trust me We saw them as they fell Will they still pretend to compromise Whisper We can not let them hear Watch Me Escape without our fear We can see the hate behind their eyes The devils are waiting You'll find me at the edge of the world When it gets cold And it gets dark Come with me now my love The angels are praying You'll find me at the edge of the world When it gets cold And it gets dark Come with me Step into the void Begin To let our souls restart Show me The pureness of your heart Let the truth rip all the shame away Promise We’ll never see the sun Tell me Am I the only one This is all we need to breakaway The devils are waiting You'll find me at the edge of the world When it gets cold And it gets dark Come with me now my love The angels are praying You'll find me at the edge of the world When it gets cold And it gets dark Come with me Step into the void No consciousness No consequence Know that our spirit never splits No consciousness No consequence Know that our future never splits The devils are waiting You'll find me at the edge of the world When it gets cold And it gets dark Come with me now my love The angels are praying You'll find me at the edge of the world When it gets cold And it gets dark Come with me Step into the void

Nowhere Girl 04:28
Nowhere girl, you're living in a dream Nowhere girl, you stay behind the scenes Nowhere girl, you never go outside Nowhere girl, cause you prefer to hide Every day, every night In that old familiar light You hung up when I called you at home And I try to get through And I try to talk to you But there's something stopping me from getting through Nowhere girl, what you have you need Nowhere girl, all functional and neat Nowhere girl in self-imposed exile Nowhere girl, a martyrlike denial Every day, every night In that old familiar light You hung up when I called you at home And I try to get through And I try to talk to you But there's something stopping me from getting through

Think about the places we've had our little fun In the church at Christmas, busted by that nun Then in that museum, beneath the Mastodon Stating our positions on the White House lawn All you ever think about is sex All you ever think about exclusively All you ever think about is sex, all right with me Say, do you remember the Dodgers and the Mets 50,000 people saw us and turned red I'm still not recovered from Saturday's faux pas When your father came home, saw us, and dropped dead All you ever think about is sex All you ever think about exclusively All you ever think about is sex, all right with me In a world of lovers, we don't love each other much Fact is, we're too busy to love each other much All you ever think about is sex All you ever think about exclusively All you ever think about is sex, all right with me

No Doubt 03:50
Where it is you wont say, but it hurts Put your lips next to mine and apart Why wont you open your heart? I feel it coming it grows up my spine I'm dying to show you what love is about The tears that are falling There's no room for doubt For all the changes we've been through It's an art just to give, will I learn? To visualize what you want from my life It's more than enough just to gaze in your eyes I'm dying to show you what love is about To tease you and please you We must work it out I know all your secrets so sad For all the changes we've been through

White light shines Through this shallow room Whispers cry It’s cold Underneath the moon Longing taking Over me Your embrace Alone Is all I need Come on take my hand Take my hand And let’s dance In isolation Can’t you understand Understand So let’s dance In isolation Falling star Make a wish tonight In my dreams I see You’re just out of sight It won’t ever Go away But right now We yearn Just one more day Come on take my hand Take my hand And let’s dance In isolation Can’t you understand Understand So let’s dance In isolation In these arms you fall I’m open Focus of it all You’ve stolen It will be the same In the end When I hear you call I’m frozen There's no time to stall You’ve chosen It will be the same In the end
