Merciless Sun
03:10
|
|||
Merciless Sun rises again
Another night has ended
Merciless sleep from me has fled
My position left undefended
And I wonder how I will cope
With this 'devoidance' of hope
When sunlight reveals the lines on my face
Sunlight reveals the toll
Sunlight reveals the pain and disgrace
And all that time has stolen
Merciless heat upon me again
My weary soul is aching
It burns my mind and unfitting skin
And my sanity's cracked and breaking
And I wonder just how long
I'll still be able to sing my song
When sunlight reveals the lines on my face
Sunlight reveals the toll
Sunlight reveals the pain and disgrace
And all that time has stolen
Merciless sun burning
While the world is turning
And my heart is yearning
To be...
Free

Incomprehensible
04:38
|
|||
You want to see me in your light
But I dwell in depths of shadow
You cannot understand my plight
I cannot reach your winsome shallows
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
You can't see me in the darkness
While your light it burns my eyes
You don't understand the madness and sadness
I don't grasp your love of life
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
You try to reach me in your language
I answer you in mine
I think what you say is utter nonsense
You think I speak nothing but lies
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
Incomprehensible
We're at an impasse
No bridge exists between our worlds
And neither one can fathom
The view from the other's eyes
Mmmmmmm
It's incomprehensible

Waiting Room
03:02
|
|||
Seems I'm always sitting in the waiting room of life
Staring out the window at the world that is outside
Wondering when my time will come
If I'll ever have my day
Whiling the time away
Doctor, Doctor, can you tell what is wrong?
Can you fix me with this song?
Seems I can't get out of here
And the walls are closing in
The pressure in my head is high
And the air it feels so thing
Will someone call my name, please?
Won't you open up the door?
This room's more like a prison cell
I can't take it anymore
Doctor, Doctor, can you tell me what is wrong?
Can you help me with this song?
Doctor, Doctor, I've been waiting for so long
It hurts when I breathe, and all my strength is gone
Seems like I'm gonna die here in this room - still waiting
Feels like I'll never get out of this room
Doctor, Doctor, I've been hurting for so long
Can you help me end this song?
Doctor, Doctor I have no more words to say
And there are no more chords to play

The Other Side
04:33
|
|||
There's a fine line between passion and obsession
Every rule is broken by the exception
Crossing lines and making waves
Blurring lines and riding waves
There's a hope found only in desperation
A holiness found only in temptation
In crossing lines and making waves
Blurring lines and riding waves
And if you want to know where you can find me
I'm not hiding anymore
'Cause there's a truth found only in fiction
A freedom in the midst of the addiction
What appears to be a contradiction
Is simply the other side
And if you want to know where you can find me
You can visit anytime...
I'm on the other side
Riding waves and crossing lines
If you want to know where you can find me
I'm not hiding anymore
You can visit anytime
You'll find me here
Crossing waves and making lines...
Disappear
Yeah, you'll find me here

Bottle
03:11
|
|||
I had a bottle full of dreams
I spilled it on the floor
It stained the carpet blue
And it damaged my front door
As it rolled
It crashed and dented
Anything that got into its way
I had a bottle full of dreams
But the bottle got away
Filled it up with other things, I did
Filled it up with wine
Filled it up with more regret
Filled it up with time

The Dream
02:54
|

He sees her in the moonlight
She dances in his dreams
He feels her reaching out to him
Calling out his name
Calling
Wake up
I'm waiting for you
Come to me
I cry out to you
Find me now
I'm waiting for you
To wake up
And make the dream come true
Sweet kisses in the moonlight
Embraces in the dark
Together in this moment
In each other's arms
She whispers
Wake up
I'm waiting for you
Come to me
I cry out to you
Find me now
I'm waiting for you
To wake up
And make the dream come true

Call me by name
Did I ever tell you what it is?
Huh, well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway
But now that I'm here
In the middle of the room
I have something to say
And, it's okay
I tell myself, yeah
It's okay
That you forget me now
That I'm so easy to let go
I'm always saying goodbye...
Before I've said hello
It's lonely tonight
It will be lonelier tomorrow
That's just the way it goes
But now that I'm here
With spotlights and teardrops in my eyes
I'll tell you something you already know
And, I know what you'll say
Yeah, you'll tell me
It's okay
If you forget me now
'Cause I'm so damn easy to let go
I'm always saying goodbye...
Before I've said hello
But it's not okay
It really isn't okay
If you forget me now (don't forget me)
Or that I'm so easy to let go (don't let me go)
I'm always saying goodbye
I'm always saying goodbye
I'm always saying goodbye...
Before I've said hello
Hello...
Goodbye

Rose Petals To The Wind
04:57
|
|||
I paint pictures in the air
Colours running everywhere
I throw rose petals to the wind
I'll never see them again
And, I just want a place to lay my head
Never more to rise
Yes, I just want a place to lay my head
Where I will cry no more
I paint pictures in the sky
While the tears blind my eyes
All I know and feel is pain
So my soul sings this refrain
I just want a place to lay my head
Never more to rise
I just want a place to lay my head
Where I will cry no more
Where I will cry no more
Where I will hurt no more

Trouble
01:34
|
|||
I see that look in your eye
Like I might be fun to try
Like I might provide you with a little distraction
I see the smile on your face
That you cannot erase
And, I know what you're looking for is satisfaction
You're aiming to misbehave, aren't you?
And, I'll be the trouble you get into
I hear the words you don't say
I know the game that you play
And I'm not under any illusion
It's a lesson we never learned
Play with fire, you're sure to get burned
It was bound to be a foregone conclusion
You're aiming to misbehave, aren't you?
And, I'll be the trouble you'll get into
Yes, I am the trouble you'll get into

I used to dance to your tune every night that you played
'Til my feet got tired and my mind got frayed
When all hours became midnight
And I longed to flee away
A rose at my lips prevented me from telling my tale
When I tried to speak, every time I tried I would fail
When all hours becamse midnight
A dark enchantment prevailed
I have learned fairy magic has a very great cost
To your peril you go, to my peril I forgot all I was
When all hours became midnight
I dwelt where all hope was lost

This Moment
04:31
|
|||
Tell me a story
And I will sit and listen
Feed me your heartache
I will eat from your hand
Sing me a picture
I can carry in my dreams
All I need is this moment
To spend forever with you
And, let me have the stardust
That's falling from your lips
Fill me up with longing
And leave me wanting more
Play me all your shadows
And I will bathe in your light
All I need is this moment
To spend forever with you
So, don't hold back
Give me what you have
Leave your fingerprints all over my soul
Strike the chords on my heartstrings
And play me skillfully
Touch me with practised fingers
And caress me with your verse
I don't need tomorrow
Because we have tonight
All I need is this moment
To spend forever with you
