A World Away
06:33

Turn all my darkness into light
I won’t go quickly, not tonight
I can’t shake my own shadow
It’s not time to let you go
There you are, a world away
My hand’s unsteady, I drink one last drop
A whisper triggers me to stop
And lets the demons take the lead
Learn to run from what I feel
There you are, a world away
Don’t let me fall
Each day just means a little more
I close my eyes, sink to the floor
My words have nothing left to say
There you are, a world away

Ambulance Chasing
07:21

|

What I feel when I first wake
Been too long since I missed your face
The last words, unsaid and never explained
I’d always live with my mistakes
As you just turned away
I can’t find the way
Nothing said would make you stay
No goodbyes for me to say
She’s just gone away
I’m falling backward
Ambulance chasing every day
If that’s all you have for me
I can’t erase completely
Your picture, as long as my eyes can see
But when it hurts too much to breathe
I drop down to my knees
(I can’t find where you’re going)

This Haunted Place
06:22
|
|

The air I breathe
Too tight this space
Too near my heart
To ever erase
Full and yet empty
Hit head on, ready to fade
Full and yet empty
Two strangers pulling away
This haunted place, I’m never afraid
A razor’s blade, the gleam of day
My tears could drown this world
Ahh, that’s okay
The doors that closed, there’s no escape
Give back this life, I swear I won’t break
Shrinking in the corner, pressed to the wall
Between the inside and outside, baby
When you go through the darkness, never to fall
You’re never alone
Midnight for the troubled souls, lose or win
Pouring shattered pieces on you
The day my world went black, full of sin
Nothing else really counts at all
Never counted at all

Cruel Desire
06:32
|
|

The price of getting what you want
Something inside me now just gone forever
Things are sweeter when they’re lost
I know now that I should have known better
But it’s too late
But it’s too late
It’s much too late
This cruel desire
No smile, no sweet caress
Without desire
Don’t waste a single breath
I’m just talking to myself
Kiss me again, I get so drunk and foolish
The gleaming of an empty heart
The damage done and talk just seems so useless
But it’s too late
But it’s too late
It’s much too late
If only I could feel
None of this is real
So why can’t I let go?
You drive a saint to madness
Tell me that you hate me
Tell me again so that I’ll know
The thought of you tomorrow
Something lost forever
I have the marks for you to show
They won’t let go

Any Trace of You
07:17
|
|
||
Watching the world fall asleep
As your mind sinks so deep
Some day you’d come back
After you take your hands away
After you run
Your name, the sweetest melody
Your words, in perfect harmony
Your eyes, a light that fades away
Our tomorrow, our today
You’ve been waiting so long
The sober night fades at dawn
Deep from the nightmares
After you take your hands away
After you’ve gone
[She says she’s had enough]
Tongue-tied and lost inside
No more lullaby, this butterfly
Any trace of you forever left behind
(And it was) thrown aside, this angel cried
The hours going by leave you wondering why
Any trace of you was buried deep inside

How Will I Sleep?
06:25
|
|
||
I didn’t expect to be here
Your words still echo in my head
The room is spinning, illusion shattered
Childish dreams and still unwed
Skin on skin and soul to soul
My inhibitions lost control
No one was ever like you
My Juliet, your Romeo
How will I sleep?
This song once had some meaning
This song once was ours
An angel left behind forever
This beast has slammed the door
How will I sleep?

Narrow streets are full of light
She doesn’t move or speak
Voices talk, she doesn’t hear
Staring down, now it’s time to leave
Never knowing where she’s going
Arrives too late to say goodbye
All her plans are disarranged
On the rooftop, out of time
She pens a letter never sent
So many words which she’ll never say
A sip of wine and she forgets
Eyes squeezed tight and slips away
Each day’s just like the last
And sometimes disappoints her
Yet she’s always known
When the world goes back to sleep
She clings to something more
But she always dreams alone
Wrapped up tight inside
She holds her memories
And all the hope she’s outgrown
When the world goes back to sleep
She clings to something more
But she always dreams alone
Missing someone never known
Gives herself away so willingly
Steps outside and trips the light
If just this once they could see
