All My Life

All my life I've been searching for something
something never comes never leads to nothing
nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
closer to the prize at the end of the rope
all night long I dream of the day
when it comes around and it's taken away
leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
feel it come to life when I see your ghost
calm down don't you resist
you've such a delicate wrist
and if I give it a twist
something to hold when I lose my grip
will I find something in there
to give me just what I need
another reason to bleed
one by one hidden up my sleeve


Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
weight keep pinning me down
will I find a believer
another one who believes
another one to deceive
over and over down on my knees
if I get any closer
and if you open up wide
and if you let me inside
on and on I've got nothing to hide
then I'm done done on to the next one
Back to the top of the page.

Low

Hey you
are you in there?
I'm stuck outside you
we could use
one another
another like you
you be my passerby
I'll be your new one to pass through
screws inside turn so tight
turning on you
I'm hanging on you
baby blue
don't go nowhere
I'm right beside you
me and you
going nowhere
I'm right beside you
taking you as low as you go
Back to the top of the page.

Have It All

You're my size I need to try you on
someone in between the right and wrong
through everything you kept your wings apart
through everything you stayed the same old heart
and when I've had enough
she drains me when I'm empty
she fills hereself
she takes it all
in too deep, she's spilling over me
go on and have it all
winding through this maze you hold me in
searching all these days to find the end
you're everything I'm not
but I'm anything, I'm anyone you want
Back to the top of the page.

Times Like These

I
I'm a one way motorway
I'm a road that drives away and follows you back home
I
I'm a streetlight shining
I a white light blinding bright, burning off and on
it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again
I
I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight
but I
I'm a little divided
do I stay or run away and leave it all behind
Back to the top of the page.

Disenchanted Lullaby

Sing me yours, I'll sing you mine
Sing with me now what's a boy to do?
What's a boy to do?

Sing along for yesterday
Sing along my soul today
Sing along another song for you
What's a boy to do?

I may be scattered
A little shattered
What does it matter
No one has a fit like I do

I may be scattered
A little shattered
What does it matter?
No one has a fit like I do
I'm the only one that's fits you

Whispering to pass the time
Whisper for the days gone by
Whisper with the voice inside of you

With this ring you will be mine
With this ring I'll multiply
With this ring surrendering to you
What's a boy to do?
Back to the top of the page.

Tired Of You

I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
burning like a flame inside of you
but is this just desire or the truth
so shame on me for the ruse
shame on me for the blues
another one returned that I'll never use
but I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
hanging on this wire
waiting for the day I have to choose
cursed by love so dire
one more boy for hire
one more boy to lend a hand to you
but is this just desire or the truth
Back to the top of the page.

Halo

Good and bad
I swear I've had them
both are overrated
but isn't it fun when you get hold of one
some go bad and some come back
the good ones all get taken
I'm calling your bluff
you aint strong enough
wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
halo
god only knows
right behind me everywhere I go
say your prayers when you get scared
you pray you're gonna make it
and then when you're done
you keep fucking up
one day soon I'll disappear
and if you'll come I'll take you
somewhere to go
to keep from growing old
disappear the light is breaking
disappear outside their range
disappear I'm tired of waiting
disappear before we fade away
Back to the top of the page.

Lonely As You

wake up you're dreaming I can't stand your screaming
drowning out these prayers just some words without meaning spare all the preaching my secret's
worth keeping 'cause no one understands like I do keep out of reach I'm your leading deletion
hide behind these masks though they still see right through them every now and then you're down
and out my friend down and out again, but I'm down with you one more time for the last time one
more time for release one more time for the last time everyone wants to believe blame it on
youth all those years I made through them blame it on the past it's the last place I knew you
blame all the children they're raging and ruined blame it on the black and the blue
Back to the top of the page.

Overdrive

coming down I'm coming round
this time I think I'm waking up
give me loud to drown it out before the world starts breaking up you change and then you change
again turning like a wheel inside your head yours and mine and left and right there's still two
sides to everyone you and I get on with life and pray we'll find a better one overdrive
we're going life or death
two strangers on the mend
hurry now we're getting out
this time there's nothing stopping us
leave behind this vacant town tonight and let it turn to rust two strangers no relation on the
mend
Back to the top of the page.

Burn Away

I have spent a lifetime
waiting for the chance
save you my confession
save me your last dance
the same old superstitions haunt us now and then
I"m begging for ignition to start it all again
We'll burn away, my bride
we'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight we'll burn away my bride breathe for
me from now on breathe for me when I'm gone and burn out beyond, out beyond the sun will you
still remember there behind the skies walking on the embers standing in their light the hardest
part is knowing everything must die the hardest part is waiting here ready to collide burn on
burn on high until you burn on or never burn again we'll never burn again
Back to the top of the page.

Come Back

moving again
comfort of the chase
now and again
this my saving grace
dead on the inside I've got nothing to prove
keep me alive and give me something to lose
goodbye
this time I'm leaving you
I've been gone so long
so gone so long
but I will come back
changes changing
back and forth again
trading places
strangers in the end
I will come back for you
