Wait for Night
04:29
|
|||
|
once wild and wild before
when I’d keep on pushing
‘cause I needed some more
the bigger the gain
the harder it gets
gonna get back up on my feet again
twice shy and once to score
when I feel like I have never felt before
the deeper the wounds
the better the pain
and when I wake back up
I hear the voice again
it tells me
wait for night
wait for night
washed in neon light
wait for night
falling awry
wait for night
that’s when all the wrong things
feel so right
not quite like before
when you feel like there’s another fate in store
the stricter the rules
the looser the cage
and when the sun comes up
I hear the voice again
it tells me
wait for night
wait for night
washed in neon light
wait for night
falling awry
wait for night
that’s when all the wrong things
feel so right
Chorus
that’s when all the wrong things
wait for night

Empty Rooms
04:33
|
|||
|
empty rooms, they haunt my soul
as I move through silence
melancholies follow me
and I can't stay close to home
as I move through silence
or is this where I'll stay
getting lost inside the maze
as I move through silence
with familiarity
now the ceiling starts to rain
and it oozes violence
has it always been this way
empty rooms are part of me
on my own despondently
when I'm creeping down their halls
and there's no one there at all
empty rooms locked in my brain
but it always ends the same
when I wake up from this dream
‘cause the ghost in them is me
move in silence
move in silence
empty rooms like empty shells
as I move through silence
ghostly pictures on the walls
floating sheets and rusty nails
as I'm moved to violence
underneath a dusty veil
bittersweet and hollowed out
as I’m walking all about
and I’m creeping down their halls
and there’s no one there at all
liminal and far away
but it always ends the same
when I wake up from this dream
‘cause the ghost in them is me
there’s a comfort in exile
’til I hear a distant shout
and it warns of violence
empty rooms are part of me
on my own despondently
when I'm creeping down their halls
and there's no one there at all
empty rooms locked in my brain
but it always ends the same
when I wake up from this dream
‘cause the ghost in them is me
oh-oh-oh
always ends the same
when I wake up from this dream
‘cause the ghost in them is me
oh-oh-oh
liminal and far away
as I’m creeping down their halls
and there’s no one there at all

To Live Another Day
04:37
|
|||
|
pay no mind
to the land that’s falling down
out of sight and out of touch
in this wasteland
echoes of time
treading waters flowing thin
when the fear streams down your face
and it feels like acid rain
your dreams they hold you
to a time when you can say
that you don’t have to fight
too much, too long, to forge a future
and we don’t have to fight
too much, too hard, to find a way
to live another day
to live another day
when they’re blind
to this burning on the wall
underneath a glowing sky
answering a haunted call
your dreams they hold you
to a time when you can say
that you don’t have to fight
too much, too long, to forge a future
and we don’t have to fight
too much, too hard, to find a way
to live another day
to live another day
maybe some other day
Chorus
don’t have to fight too long
to sing the song that heals the past
and rights the wrong
and lives in harmony where shadows play
to live another day
to live another day

Dance to the Downfall
04:07
|
|||
|
with scandal in the wind
you fan your favorite sin
this town’s serenity
gone like a memory
when night sends out the call
and you don’t have the gall
just come and set her free
that jezebel in me
I don’t mind at all
stumble as we crawl
and we dance to the downfall
this playground draws you in
just like a fatal friend
sometimes it’s hard to see
just what it meant to me
but I saw you on the floor
just swaying to The Cure
outside the city dreams
of life without the screams
I don’t mind at all
stumble as we crawl
they save the highest peak
for the lowest creep
indefensible
hand in hand we stall
as we dance to the downfall
woah-oh
oh oh oh oh
Chorus

My Lonely Ghost
03:34
|
|||
|
there’s no conversation now
it’s the point of no concern
when you’re looking for what’s found
don’t fear so
home is where you roam
my only hope is where you go
my lonely ghost
there’s no destinations now
it’s the point of low returns
when you slip from higher ground
don’t fear so
Chorus
don’t you fear what’s dead and gone
there’s no destinations now
it’s the point of low concern
when you’re reaching where you’re bound
don’t fear so
home is where you roam
my only hope is where you go
my lonely
home is where you roam
my only hope is where you go
my lonely ghost

RUINESS
04:01
|
|||
|
the feeling’s automatic
in the temple of love getting nearer
whispers in my mind, I think I hear her
crack the whip
shows me what she’s hiding inside
she said that
I’m the kind of girl you will remember
and your self-control, you will surrender
cracks the whip
shows me what she’s hiding inside
and I thought that lust was just a feeling
now I’m bound up tight, I’m never leaving
cracks the whip
shows me what she hides inside
my Ruiness tonight
you’re in control
I can’t let go
It’s physical
you’re in control
I can’t let go
it’s physical
and chemical
and automatic
now she’s coming around with heavy breathing
and the pain she’s aroused is almost pleasing
cracks the whip
shows me what she’s hiding inside
and I thought that lust was just a feeling
now I’m bound up tight, I’m never leaving
cracks the whip
shows me what she hides inside
my Ruiness tonight
in this storm
in this storm
we’re safe and warm
we’re safe and warm
and she thought that lust was just a feeling
now she’s bound up tight, she’s never leaving
crack the whip
show her what I hide inside
my Ruiness tonight
automatic
the feeling’s automatic
automatic
you’re in control
I can’t let go
it’s physical
and chemical
you’re in control
I can’t let go
it’s physical
and chemical
and automatic

Little Lost
04:34
|
|||
|
so easily confused
reckless when you’re bruised
there’s no walking in your shoes
they try, try to hold your life
down without a fight
when you’re searching in the night
where the darkness meets the light
there’s a place where you can hide
It’s alright if you’re a little lost
now you’re home
try to find me, you’re a little lost
it’s getting cold
you and me might be a little lost
we carry on
It’s alright to be a little lost
now you’re home
and home ain’t so far away
I’ll be here to stay
where the creatures come to play
no more alienating you
guilty or accused
I’ll be standing next to you
where the darkness meets the light
there’s a place where you can hide
Chorus
don’t cry, you’re safe inside
this fight, we’re in it together
so put on your black leather
we’re safe inside
here among the creatures of the night
I need something familiar tonight
little lost
little lost
it’s alright if you’re a little lost
oh woah
you remind me of a little lost I used to know
little lost
oh woah
try to find me, you’re a little lost
it’s getting cold
take my hand ‘cause you’re a little lost
and don’t you know
you and me might be a little lost
but now we’re home

Confess to Me
03:01
|
|||
|
confess to me
what you’re feeling inside
all of the secrets you don’t have to hide from me
‘cause they don’t understand
all of the power you hold in your hands
a world torn asunder
from pain and the thunder
we'll be so warm and close
when we’re undercover
that’s where you’ll discover
you know who needs you most
confess to me
you don’t have to be shy
I know the look that I see in your eye for me
‘cause you know we’re the same
taking the pleasure, leaving the shame
a world torn asunder
from pain and the thunder
we’ll be so warm and close
when we’re undercover
that’s where you’ll discover
you know who needs you most
(repeat)

SOULSAVIOR
04:10
|
|||
|
I’ve been a sinner all my life
I’ve got this stain upon my soul
no pearly gates to enter
nothing left to surrender
oh God, I need a savior
someone to justify my love
I need an angel from above
I need your touch
I’ve been a sinner all my life
I’ve got this stain upon my soul
no pathway to salvation
this highway to damnation
oh God, I need a savior
someone to make it right
I’ve been cast out for my whole life
I need your touch
save, won’t you save my soul
you’re just a touch away
today, tonight
I’m giving you control
you’ve been a sinner all your life
you’ve got this stain upon your soul
no pearly gates to enter
you’re a repeat offender
oh God, you need a savior
someone to make it right
someone to understand your plight
with just a touch
Chorus
save, won’t you save my soul
you’re just a touch away
today, tonight
I’m giving you control
tell me, can you save
[thou shall not stand above me
thou shall not compromise
thou shalt have none before me
your soul forever mine]
tell me, can you save
can you save my soul
you’re just a touch away
today, tonight
I’m giving you control

Never (Walk Away)
04:47
|
|||
|
when I saw you scared
your tender eyes so full of tears
I could see her there
the child inside, so full of fear
and it tugs on me
this voice so deep inside the soul
never walk away
to cross that bridge would be too much
and I can’t explain
outside of me, outside of us
why I take the blame
I know sometimes I play too rough
though I can’t let go
this part of me, this part of lust
I just hope you know
one thing I’ll never throw
never want to see your face
cast out and in the pouring rain
never gonna walk away
from all the plans we made to trust
never want to see you shamed
to cross that bridge would be too much
and a walk away
and a walk away
would be too much
never walk away
never walk away
and I can’t recall
another time that meant so much
though I won’t say no
I’ve always paid upfront the cost
I just hope you know
when the seasons flow
these feelings never change
you know I can’t be tamed, but
never want to see your face
cast out and in the pouring rain
never gonna walk away
from all the plans we made to trust
never want to see you shamed
to cross that bridge would be too much
and a walk away
and a walk away
would be too much
never walk away
never walk away
