Move Me
03:50

|
Could somebody move me in the right direction?
The flash of the lights is leaving me blind and I
Keep slipping away
The rhythm it calls my name
But I won’t listen
My heart’s out of time
Running at a thousand miles
I need to escape
I can’t get away from this melody
I’m never myself when it’s this heavy
Please don’t get the wrong idea, love
I only came to dance (you see…)
But my heart has other plans (for me…)
This night could be our last
Please don’t think I’m insincere, love
I know we came to dance (you see…)
But my heart has other plans (for me…)
This night could be my last
Could somebody move me in the right direction?
The pull of the groove is drawing me close to you
I’m not thinking straight
This is nothing new, just can’t learn my lesson
A million times, you say something wild and I
I’m back here again

Echo
03:31

I can feel you wedged inside
Digging fault-lines between my eyes
They've come for my sanity
The mirror leaves me blind
Every fracture, a silver line
And every piece brings clarity
Every word is a tragedy
You'll never dissolve my reality
Just give me a moment
My paper walls wear thin
Bring it on, let the bastards in
They've come for my sanity
And if this castle should go up in flames
Let it light the way
Let every piece bring clarity
Let the remains be a tragedy
Let it dissolve our reality
Shut up, I'm having a moment
Say what you want to believe
Let it echo, 'cause I let go
Go on, 'cause I've heard what you say about me
Let it echo, 'cause I let go
I've seen it all before
Each word is a bullet heading for my core
I think I'm done with my sanity
And if you think your words bear any weight
Let me set it straight
Take a breath, you need clarity
The look in your eyes is a tragedy
You should come back to reality
We'll all be gone in a moment
Say what you want to believe
Let it echo, 'cause I let go
Go on, 'cause I've heard what you say about me
Let it echo, 'cause I let go
Bend and break
You can wish, you can hold your breath
'cause I'll still be standing, I'll still be standing
Don't you know, in the end you don't stand a chance, 'cause I will
I'll still be standing, I'll still be standing
And if this castle should go up in flames
And if you think your words bear any weight
Let them echo (I'll still be standing, I'll still be standing)
Let them echo (I'll still be standing, I'll still be standing)
Say what you want to believe
Let it echo, 'cause I let go
Go on, 'cause I've heard what you say about me
Let it echo, 'cause I let go

Silver and Gold
03:25

Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die
You see, I've been waiting for you
Spent so many months by phone waiting, praying for you
In the jail that you made me, the cell that you paved with
Silver and gold
'Cause the moment when the dark descended
Had to bleed from my soul to keep the flame protected
Your methods were violent
But don't you know the voice of a lion cannot be kept silent
Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die
No, I never thought that you'd be the one to take my heart and throw it to the dogs
Who gave you permission to give and to take like the hands of God?
We are a movement
You will not triumph
Don't you know, my brothers and sisters will rise
We'll stand in defiance
Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die
Work for the silver, work for the gold
Prey for the jailer, dream for a soul
We the delivered, rise from the coal
Pray for the jailer, pray for his soul
Work for the silver, work for the gold
Prey for the jailer, dream for a soul
We the delivered, rise from the coal
Pray for the jailer, pray for his soul
Pray for the jailer, pray for his soul
Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die

Human Tendencies
03:08
|

|
One more shot and another round
But my doubts won't got to sleep
Won't my conscience let me be?
Get me numb before I bleed
Before they see (just give me what I came for)
Just get in my bed
You know, you got what I'm looking for
Just give me enough so I don't think
In your arms I start to sink
Am I addicted to you or just this drink?
I'm on the brink (just give me what I came for)
My medicine
I can't keep my human tendencies away from the edge
Oh no, this sinking feeling's back and I'm digging my bed
Dead certain, that something's lurking in the air tonight
'Cause something inside me just died
Don't stop until the rivers run
I wish it didn't taste so sweet
To satisfy this beast in me
The thirst for you just runs so deep
Set me free (just give me what I came for)
And I need it again
I can't keep my human tendencies away from the edge
Oh no, this sinking feeling's back and I'm digging my bed
Dead certain, that something's lurking in the air tonight
'Cause something inside me just died
Something inside me just died
Something inside me just died
I can't keep my human tendencies away from the edge
Oh no, this sinking feeling's back and I'm digging my bed
Dead certain, that something's lurking in the air tonight
'Cause something inside me just died
I can't keep my human tendencies away from the edge
Oh no, this sinking feeling's back and I'm digging my bed
Dead certain, that something's lurking in the air tonight
'Cause something inside me just died

Wonderland

Surely you know what you’ve gotten into
And surely you don’t care, that’s why you’re here
It’s not deep down the rabbit hole to wonderland
And if that’s what you’re looking for, I’m your man
So hold on, you’ll make it if your will is strong, I know
No going back, you gave your heart to Wonderland
It’s you and me, so sweet, you ready?
Now come with me we’ll touch the sky
Hold on, keep running and your day will come, I know
Losing grip, your mind’s dividing, don’t trust your senses
On the way down, the heart is a liar
The air tastes sweet down the rabbit hole to wonderland
But if you’re not too careful, you’ll never land
So hold on, you’ll make it if your will is strong, I know
No going back, you gave your heart to Wonderland
It’s you and me, so sweet, you ready?
Now come with me we’ll touch the sky
Hold on, keep running and your day will come, I know
All, we could have it all
Every moment is eternity, free falling through the ecstasy
All, take my heart and my soul
In the valley I will walk with you
In the dark I will see us through
So don’t wait as the sky fades, feel it coming, watch it crumble as we freefall
The technicolour will take your breath away and all that remains
So hold on, you’ll make it if your will is strong, I know
No going back, you gave your heart to Wonderland
It’s you and me, so sweet, you ready?
Now come with me we’ll touch the sky
Hold on, keep running and your day will come, I know

If You Were Here

My darling, if you were here
Oh, then you would see
That even now the stars still shine for us
So I'll hold all these memories
However bittersweet
Oh, even now they keep me looking up
Take a deep breath
I've been thinking about you at the worst times
I remember your face lit by city lights
The late drives
Oh, these tears aren't gonna help me now
You might be another face in the crowd
But even if I shout out
You wouldn't hear me now
My darling, if you were here
Oh, then you would see
That even now the stars still shine for us
So I'll hold all these memories
However bittersweet
Oh, even now they keep me looking up
They keep me looking up
The sight is so surreal
So alive, and yet so still
Every speck of diamond light
Brings me back, I'm by your side
As these memories burst to life
I know the smell, the voice, the eyes
The sweetest dream but just a taste
Now it's all so far away
So I'll hold you close just like a flame
Inside my chest
So that I can feel you here
On a night like this
Oh, the life we had
And the dreams we shared
Will never die
So on this starry, starry night
My darling, if you were here
Oh, then you would see
That even now the stars still shine for us
So I'll hold all these memories
However bittersweet
Oh, even now they keep me looking up
My darling, if you were here
Oh, then you would see
That even now the stars still shine for us
So I'll hold all these memories
However bittersweet
Oh, even now they keep me looking up
