Tides

Out in the docks watching the tides grow
Here they come
I lost my chance to get away from this place,
Will you take yours?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Here it comes
When he left, I could see in your face you will follow his steps
I aint enough
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Here it comes
Set him free to prove my love and now my baby it's gone, gone
There he goes

Blood
03:24

I walk a path I know by heart
as it pumps I'm taking steps towards the end, and I
Already know what I will find
That doesn't mean I'm turning back
Ah-ah Ah-ah
When faith stumbles
The devil comes running
How can I look into you eyes?
When you're too tired to fight back
And I'm too hurt to give a damn ooh
I'm out for blood
It pours from my heart
You give me wings, then lock me up
You don't give much thought
to the consequences of your acts
Ah-ah Ah-ah
When love's out of the picture
And all the smiles are bitter
Will you dare to look back?
When you're too tired to fight back
And I'm too hurt to give a damn ooh
I'm out for blood
It pours from my heart

Love Makes Us Blind
03:10
|
|

I've had some trouble sleeping
I hardly make it through the nights
A cold sweat drowns my skin and
My lungs slowly fill they're stunned
Can you hear me calling?
Or did you really mean goodbye?
The ones you love the most are
The first ones to turn their back on you
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Just be the man you claimed you are
Give back you crown you have fooled no one
Just I have falled for it
I guess that love really make us blind
And all the harm you've caused
All the words my heart keep holding on to
Have stayed in here with me
In the dark places on my head you lead me in
And oh Lord I was weak
I couldn't even see the light
But my mud-spotted eyes
where washed down with all the darkness in your heart
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Just be the man you claimed you are
Give back you crown you have fooled no one
Just I have falled for it
I guess that love really make us blind

Affair
03:31

He came running by
the road is long, he's tired
I want to try, for once not to hide it
He's been up late,
He's been working, need money
He already knows
So there's no use is lying
I just needed it, I took it
I don't know better
I loved him, but he had, hurted me before
I just wanted it, to feel loved again
And for that matter, he knows
That I was long gone
I look at him, his eyes are red
He's been crying
Ooh the Affair, I never meant to start this battle
I just needed it, I took it
I don't know better
I loved him, but he had, hurted me before
I just wanted it, to feel loved again
And for that matter, he knows
That I was long gone
Aiming for the heart
Everything goes
The winner takes it all
C'mon you know you want to see me burn
If you only knew
I already am
I just needed it, I took it
I don't know better
I loved him, but he had, hurted me before
I just wanted it, to feel loved again
And for that matter, he knows
That I was long gone
I just needed it, I took it
I don't know better

Cult
02:53
|
|

In between you and me
You'll find nothing but skin
I don't need air, to breathe
I do it through your lips
In between your arms, I've found
A piece of heaven
I don't need faith, nor praying
Maybe a cigarette
And in between its smoke, we see
How light comes creeping in
It feels so pure, so clean
So different from me
Oh in between you and I
I'm more alone
Than when you say goodbye
In between you and me
You'll find nothing but lust
This love we share, this sin
Will be the end of us
But ain't that price worthwhile? though I
Am getting lost in between
This Cult of Flesh
I love the taste of meat
Oh in between you and I
I'm more alone
Than when you say goodbye
Oh in between you and this bed
I'm caught up in feelings that only go one way
In between you, and me, our skin

Ink

Hey, if turning every corner
doesn't get you where you wanna be
Why don't you just give up and sit
Hey, I've been hurting and I could use a break
Instead of being dragged into your pain
Hey, if pulling people down just so you rise has get you so far
what do you want from me?
Hey, 'Cause I can't handle to fall again
I'm working out things with myself
and still I can barely stand it
Just when I get to a good place
you appear and drag me back to hell
You keep on messing with my head
and now I can't even think straight
and I'm the one to blame
Hey, when I fell hard drowning in mud
did you hear me calling your name?
'Cause I did call
Hey I walked with you trough thick and thin
Now I'm the one who bleeds
when I need you the most, you leave
Now all I can do
is to stare at my tattoo
where you'll find your name
written with blue, ink
Hey, If you ever get tired of hurting everyone you cross paths with
you know where I live
Hey, I'm out of razor blades, and I could use some pain
you could try blaming me for your mistakes
Hey, I've got some liquor left, running through my veins, Don`'t you wanna taste it?
It feels like hell but tastes like heaven, baby
Just when I get to a good place
you appear and drag me back to hell
You keep on messing with my head
and now I can't even think straight
and I'm the one to blame
Hey, when I fell hard drowning in mud
did you hear me calling your name?
'Cause I did call
Hey I walked with you trough thick and thin
Now I'm the one who bleeds
when I need you the most, you leave
Now all I can do
is to stare at my tattoo
where you'll find your name
written with blue, ink
I cried a river, I dried seas
when you left I couldn't stand still
Now, Ink is raining over me
Now all I can do
is to stare at my tattoo
where you'll find your name
written with blue, ink

Pleasure
04:48
|

I gasp for air my hands caress yours around my neck
My cheeks are wet from the tears falling off of your face
All silver linings have turned to dirty grey
And after the storm, it comes a calm
And here we go once again
(And my preacher says)
Little did I knew I'd hurt so bad to feel this good
Little did I knew
Grab me by the neck, pleasure or pain
I don't care which way
As long as I'm a part of it
My teeth meet the floor I feel the blood burn in my veins
I taste yours as you kiss me I'm biting your lips
My tongue rediscovers all-new flavours on your face
cigarette stained bruises that I've made
Little did I knew I'd hurt so bad to feel this good
Little did I knew
Grab me by the neck, pleasure or pain
I don't care which way
As long as I'm a part of it
This love will tear us apart
Little did I knew I'd hurt so bad to feel this good
Little did I knew
Grab me by the neck, pleasure or pain
I don't care which way
As long as I'm a part of it
Love, love will tear us apart, again

Pain
02:59

I've been losing sleep
enough to wake up to see
it wasn't just a dream
what you sow, you reap
I get a couple of hours
enough to get myself out there
just a couple of hours long break
Oh the path I'm in
already know what to hope for
there's no rest for the wicked
I've been out on the streets
trying to find a glimpse of light
it's always rainy in here
Aren't you tired of it?
Of cheering up this rambling man
you know it won't be long
Until I do you harm
But what choice do I have?
Can't think straight with a broken heart
I have an empty space between two lungs
I used to be a good man but I had no one
To save me if I fell and I fell hard
And though I'll pray until heaven opens up its gates
My numb hands won't hold up in prayer
I'll pay for my sins I will burn in hell
At least, that will take this pain

Kingdom
04:25
|

If he leaves the sun will follow
and this kingdom will fall hollowed at my feet
If he leaves now that winter's near
The snow will cover his footprints
If he leaves, I'll wait here
It's been so long it seems so hard to walk alone
If he leaves where I can't follow
Will he look back to think of me?
If he leaves
If I leave, after he's gone
Will there be any remains to come back to?
If I leave, I'll use his gun
He's done me so wrong
If I leave, will he wait for me?
to come back to his throne down on my knees?
If I leave, will he come around?
heavy is the head that wears the crown
If I leave

Despaired
02:57

Mamma won't you take those men away?
I've been waiting for so long to rest
Mamma don't you think you could spare?
All the suffering they to bring to
My head, in my chest,
I feel the weight of all the harm I've made
Mamma, won't you save me from myself?
Sometimes, my mouth says thing I don't mean
Mamma don't you think that it's too late?
i've been blinded for so long my
eyes hurt, in this blue shade
Where I am to be found since he went away
Mamma, a day will come when I'll be brave
A day where I can leave this bed
but for now I'm caught up, in this nightmare
Mamma, if that day I don't return, I'll be on the moon
And my teardrops will fall over you
Mamma don't you ever feel despaired, it's just that I can't help
but falling and getting hurt

The Leap
04:16
|
|

Winter sea with the wind howling
I let the cold into my bones
as I breathe
From a cliff I hear the ocean calling
I won't take that step despite how bad I want to
sink
Deep dark in the wee hours
interrupted by the lighthouse's
beam
My feet hang and I'm sitting still
in between of all this quiet
I sing
Oh in my head I fly
I've been dreaming of falling
But before I hit the floor
I wake up
I fly (Before I hit the floor)
I wake up (It's gone and therefore I jump)
The birds around start to take off
as the night is broken
by the dawn
And as they spread their wings
I let go my hands and take that
leap
Oh in my head I fly
I've been dreaming of falling
But before I hit the floor
I wake up
I fly (Before I hit the floor)
I wake up (It's gone and therefore I jump)

Asphalt
04:20

|

I walk to the bus stop
watching the reflect of the sparkles
of my cigarette on the wet asphalt
Autumn has come too fast
I could use some warmth
as I stand waiting in line
waiting for god knows what
Why do I keep on walking down the same path? I don't know why
I don't even know if I'm right but I keep on moving forward
We tried, we failed
I get that but moving on is another thing
You've poured yourself over me just like rain
When you've told me a thousand times you've changed?
Why do I keep on walking down the same path? I don't know why
I don't even know if I'm right but I keep on moving forward
Oh the sky is full with lights and I don't know
Whether to feel happy
Or am I forgetting how destructive can be hope?
Oh, still I'm on my own
But there's something reassuring in watching fireworks
Why do I keep on walking down the same path? I don't know why
I don't even know if I'm right but I keep on moving forward
