WASTELAND
You don't ever ask me why, you don't read the signs, you give me way too many reasons for me to want to get high.Standing tall between my four walls and I'm about to fall, so look into my eyes and I say it all.
I am lost, so crucify me on your cross, what's the cost to erase what I've been taught?
Get off my back and don't attack, so what if I fell off the tracks?
Your master plan don't understand, I'd rather live in my own wasteland,
I'm already gone, I don't belong, my own wasteland.
Scream at me until I shut down, don't hear a sound, can only take so many cheap shots down on the ground.
I got to go my own way this time, leave you behind, said it all but not enough for your simple mind.
I am lost, so crucify me on your cross, what's the cost to erase what I've been taught?
Get off my back and don't attack, so what if I fell off the tracks?
Your master plan don't understand, I'd rather live in my own wasteland,
I'm already gone, I don't belong, my own wasteland.
You tell me what you want from me, you never ask me what I need.
Just let me go, just set me free, and turn these nightmares into dreams.
I am lost, so crucify me on your cross, what's the cost to erase what I've been taught?
Get off my back and don't attack, so what if I fell off the tracks?
Your master plan don't understand, I'd rather live in my own wasteland,
And I won't waste another day, it doesn't matter what we say, you'll never change your wicked ways,
I'd rather stay in my own wasteland, I'm already gone, I don't belong, my own wasteland.
WHO’S GOING HOME WITH YOU TONIGHT?
Don't think we ever really got it right, both you and I have always kept it bottled up inside.Can you show me what it feels like to give yourself away, why can't I hold onto you?
There's no one around who picks me up when I'm down like you do,
And when you can't hear a sound, will the silence drown you too?
Who's going home with you tonight, was it real or am I part of your collection, have you crossed the line?
Who's going home with you tonight, oh I feel like you're an open invitation, is this how we say goodbye?
Keeping secrets somewhere down below, I wish you had the heart to tell me that you sold your soul.
So many things you couldn't let me know, you had to run away, why can't I hold onto you?
There's no one around who picks me up when I'm down like you do,
And when you can't hear a sound, will the silence drown you too?
Who's going home with you tonight, was it real or am I part of your collection, have you crossed the line?
Who's going home with you tonight, oh I feel like you're an open invitation, is this how we say goodbye?
Can you tell me what it wrong and what is right, who's going home with you tonight?
Why can't I hold onto you?
It's getting harder to sit here alone, I've been waiting and you still ain't home.
I have never ever felt so low, I've been thinking, oh where did you go?
CONTAGIOUS
I was sick of restrictions, sick of the boundaries, about to close the door,Such a lack of conviction, no real connection, what should I settle for?
But you caught my attention, you built on the tension, you left me wanting more,
Now I don't know what to do with myself, I don't want nobody else.
I let you in and you infected me, can't get enough of you.
I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep, don't think I'm pulling through, can't get enough of you.
You're so contagious, running through my veins; you're so contagious hanging onto every word.
You're so contagious and I can't get away; you're so contagious, and now I know for sure there is no cure.
I saw your intentions, I gave you permission, go ahead and start the war.
I was out of addictions by my own admission, oh I've been keeping score.
But you made an exception, you taught me a lesson, who cares where I've been before?
You would never leave me all by myself, you don't want nobody else.
I let you in and you infected me, can't get enough of you.
I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep, don't think I'm pulling through, can't get enough of you.
You're so contagious, running through my veins; you're so contagious hanging onto every word.
You're so contagious and I can't get away; you're so contagious, and now I know for sure there is no cure.
I am burning in your fire, I have only one desire, I cannot deny her.
You keep running through my veins.
BLACK ROSE
I saw you in the garden, I wanted you so much, I really thought that you were different, I couldn't get enough.I tried to save you from yourself, I felt every high and low, now the lows have drowned the highs away, now there's no where else to go
Black rose, your thorns are cutting into me for the last time; black rose, I watched your petals wilt away, I couldn't bring you back to life.
You were always where the sun could never go, I never wanted you to have to be alone, but I couldn't find a way to help you grow, black rose.
You never tell me how you feel and your moods they always change, I really tried to make it real but you never had the faith.
I tried to give you something good to take the pain away, I tried to make you understand you don't have to be this way.
Black rose, your thorns are cutting into me for the last time; black rose, I watched your petals wilt away, I couldn't bring you back to life.
You were always where the sun could never go, I never wanted you to have to be alone, but I couldn't find a way to help you grow, black rose.
I'm not the one who hurt you, so why are you so scared?
All that you've been put through couldn't be repaired.
I'm not the one who hurt you, I'm the only one who cares,
You'll need someone to turn to and I will not be there.
(I couldn't save you, you are who you are; I couldn't break through, we're too far apart.)
Every time I held you I knew that it would hurt, only through the pain I could find a way to learn.
Black rose, your thorns are cutting into me for the last time; black rose, I watched your petals wilt away, so wilt away, couldn't bring you back to life.
You were always where the sun could never go, I never wanted you to have to be alone, but I couldn't find a way to help you grow, black rose.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Are you having trouble keeping up, seeing this thing through? I want to know who you're running from, me or you?You're too confused to open up, feel the way I do, I want to know who you're thinking of, cause I really have no clue.
Another game of charades, don't you know everybody plays, I don't want to lose to you that way,
Maybe we'll be different this time around, maybe we'll be different, I don't know, don't want to strangle this so I'm holding back for now.
Calm down, don't take it too far, I know only time can heal your scars, so I'm ready when you are.
Don't want any false starts, I can do without the time apart, so I'm ready when you are.
Are you having trouble keeping up, you know that I will wait, I wonder if it's good enough to make you stay.
You're too confused to open up, you don't know what to say, well you can tell me if you think it's love, I won't be far away.
Another game of charades, don't you know everybody plays, I don't want to lose to you that way,
Maybe we'll be different this time around, maybe we'll be different, I don't know, don't want to strangle this so I'm holding back for now.
Calm down, don't take it too far, I know only time can heal your scars, so I'm ready when you are.
Tied down, don't want any false starts, I can do without the time apart, so I'm ready when you are.
I want to know if you're thinking of me, I'll be counting the hours even though I know I'm free.
Too soon to take a chance, no more questions left to ask, I could be anything but the one thing I'm not sure you want to be.
FORGET ABOUT THE RAIN
I know I've got to try to look to better days, well I don't feel right, you know it's not the same,The weather here was nice but the sun has gone away, tell me why those clear skies so suddenly have changed.
I don’t know where I am going, I just hope I'm not alone,
Is there are space reserved for me, sheltered from the cold, who really knows?
Let's forget about the rain, don't let your worries wash you away.
Let's forget about the rain, hold onto the calm before the storm came.
When the sky is overcast, the clouds the darkest grey, I remember what I had, I dream of yesterday,
So caught up in the past, the memories don't fade, I know this won't last, in the past I can't stay.
I don’t know where I am going, I just hope I'm not alone,
Is there are space reserved for me, sheltered from the cold, who really knows?
Let's forget about the rain, don't let your worries wash you away.
Let's forget about the rain, hold onto the calm before the storm came.
Soon the sky will clear and dry up all your tears and the sun will come to shine on you again.
They will disappear and so will all your fears and the storm that you've been hiding from will end.
COVER UP
You must have pulled the trigger, your eyes give you away.The gun in your hand still smoking, you don't have to take the blame.
You have to do what you have to do, you know I'd never judge you.
Still time to close those eyes, forget what happened, forget you lied.
Put the mask back on, don't take it off till everybody's gone.
Put the mask back on, no disguise has ever lasted so long.
Cover up, don't let them see the real you.
If your secrets can't stay silent all those rumours might just end up being true.
You're free to do what you want, you never thought of consequence.
You created your own little world where you could always be different,
A place where the rules do not apply, you could never be denied,
You took advantage of a good thing and now the void you filled is empty.
Put the mask back on, don't take it off till everybody's gone.
Put the mask back on, no disguise has ever lasted so long.
Cover up, don't let them see the real you.
If your secrets can't stay silent all those rumours might just end up being true.
Cover up, don't question anything you do,
You have always kept it quiet but your conscience haunts you every time you choose.
Has anyone ever reached out to you, has anyone ever seen your real face?
Does anyone know what you've been doing as the one we used to know fades away?
ONLY ONE IN COLOR
I've been searching all my life, I used to be so colourblind, you opened up my eyes.Do you want to share your dreams, see a different side of me, you're everything I need.
I like it when you think out loud, the things you say when you know there is no one else around.
I can dig my own graves now, but will you smile every time I try to crawl my way out?
There is no one like you, I live in a world of black and white and you are the only one in colour.
There is no one like you, into your mystery I slide, I want you to keep it all uncovered, you are the only one in colour.
You know when to set that mood, you can light up any room just by the way you move.
The only one who understands, what I've given you you've given back, come on and take my hand.
I like it when you think out loud, the things you say when you know there is no one else around.
I can dig my own graves now, but will you smile every time I try to crawl my way out?
There is no one like you, I live in a world of black and white and you are the only one in colour.
There is no one like you, into your mystery I slide, I want you to keep it all uncovered, you are the only one in colour.
You turned an old world upside down, a wave of calm when I was so tightly wound and so full of doubt.
I'll never tell you that two's a crowd, I know I can't get through without ever needing you around.
WHEREVER SHE GOES
Hold me under water, your hands around my neck, are you taking it out on me cause we have nothing left?We both went through it, no use for regrets, so young and stupid and we can't forget.
I'll see you again, I will find you, I'll taste you again, I do love you.
Wherever she goes I'll be.
Promising forever starts with just a hope; staying together, well that's a different rope.
Do you believe me when I say I'm fine, what are you feeling so deep inside?
I'll see you again, I will find you, I'll taste you again, I do love you.
Wherever she goes I'll be.
Who should we blame with our broken hearts, I wont let it tear us apart.
You pointed your fingers, you made your demands, and now you have left it all in my hands.
I'll follow you and I'll will give you back that feeling.
Wherever she goes I'll be, wherever you go I'll be,
Open up to me, tell me what you need, wherever she goes I'll be.
CURIOSITY KILLS
Everybody turn your cameras on, look who's on the run, the night is young and this time it's more than just for fun.Let me know how far you take it, let me know how hard you break it.
Don't you know you're digging too deep tonight, there's a little to much for you to hide, but not enough to fill the emptiness inside.
Don't you know you're digging too deep tonight, there's a little to much for you to hide, you're falling into every lie, just say goodbye.
Curiosity kills, what you don't know won't hurt you, what you don't know won't break your heart, so why do you start?
Curiosity kills, what you don't know wont burn you, what you don't know won't make its mark.
We've reached the end, so I pretend we're on again when you know you've found another friend.
Let me know how far you take it, let me know how hard you break it.
I just can't leave it alone, nothing ever stays the same, what can I say?
The seasons change and I know you must be on your way.
Let me know how far you take it, let me know how hard you break it.
Don't you know you're digging too deep tonight, there's a little to much for you to hide, but not enough to fill the emptiness inside.
Don't you know you're digging too deep tonight, there's a little to much for you to hide, you're falling into every lie, just say goodbye.
Curiosity kills, what you don't know won't hurt you, what you don't know won't break your heart, so why do you start?
Curiosity kills, what you don't know wont burn you, what you don't know won't make its mark.
Somebody pull the wool over my eyes, ignorance is bliss, I only wish that I'd been blind,
The evidence was left for me to find, I want to let it go, I want my peace of mind.
They say to me that you should let it die, you don’t have to know the truth, you don’t have to waste your time.
THE LAST TEAR
A sharp pain when you breathe in deep, no one to catch your insecurities,You cling to the sadness in your dreams, being happy is something you don't need.
You know how to play that game, even though you're the only one who plays,
So attached to the feelings that you fake, your weakness is your only strength.
You're so emotional yet I don't think you feel anything, so conversational every time you start to scream.
Dark circles run around your eyes, your drama turns inside, you always swear this is the last tear you'll never cry,
You traded honesty for lies, you faked it all your life, you always swear this is the last tear you'll never cry.
Are you bored with the life you chose, you pushed them all away, you know.
You never aloud yourself to grow, are you angry at me now that you are exposed?
Your story was always based on fiction, so many layers of contradictions,
Only your fear has driven your decisions, has pain become your own addiction?
You're so emotional yet I don't think you feel anything, so conversational every time you start to scream.
Dark circles run around your eyes, your drama turns inside, you always swear this is the last tear you'll never cry,
You traded honesty for lies, you faked it all your life, you always swear this is the last tear you'll never cry.
