I was high, so high. I was dreaming of rock n’ roll.
Then I came down, so low. I was reaching for a hand to hold
In the dark. It’s so dark I can hardly see anything.
And I can’t tell if it’s you or my demons breathing down my neck.
But it feels warm, so warm. Why are you doing this to yourself?
Share the name, share the grave. I guess you’ve always dreamt of a dark romance.
But when the lights will go down,
Can you promise you’ll still be around?
And when my back breaks again,
Can you promise you’ll lend me your hand?
You know I never would ask you to be my savior, you know, you know.
But it seems, you took it upon you to carry me home, it seems it seems.
And I guess behind all the “burry me”, I’ve been meaning to say something apparently much harder to say, but if I say it out loud, I fear it becomes real.
So, I’ll keep it inside still, I’ll keep it.
It’s all a waste of time.
It’s all a waste.
It’s all a waste of time.
It’s all a waste.
It’s all a waste.
It’s all a waste of time.
It’s all a waste.
It’s all a waste of time.
It’s all a waste.
It’s all a waste.

Cry me a river, we’re drowning.
And I’m starting to feel my broken bones again.
Always remember that you can go to the next door, because memories, they fade.
So, don't bother recalling them.
When summer ends,
Another leaf on the ground to say goodbye, to heal my wounds.
I guess I'll see you around, but don't expect me to stay close.
Now, you whisper to my ear: « You let me down another time ».
Won't you go on your way to feed the fire to your joy, to your joy.
There goes the last time we hang out.
No hard feelings, no remorse.
If we hold back, you know it's in our best interests.
Anyway, let's make our last kiss unforgettable.
When New Year comes,
Another leaf on the ground, to say goodbye, to heal my wounds.
I guess I'll see you around, but don't expect me to stay close
Now, you whisper to my ear: « You let me down another time ».
Won't you go on your way, to feed the fire to your joy.
Well, did you burn yourself once again while decorating the fire into gold?
You know, no flame survives to the rain.
Quit decorating the fire into gold.
You decorated the fire gold.
You decorated the fire gold.
You decorated the fire gold.
You decorated the fire gold.

House By The Sea

I heard you made it out of the city
And you bought a house by the sea.
I heard you’re doing alright, you’re dreaming all night;
I heard he is all that you see.
I’ve been doing okay myself.
I’ve got a lot of books on my shelf.
I’ve done everything right. I can sleep most nights.
I’ve done okay for myself.
But, I lost my face and soon I’ll be losing my name.
Because there ain’t no place in your heart for a dying flame.
And the ghost I’ve become doesn’t haunt you anymore.
But, he still haunts me.
How can you be alright?
How can you dream all night without me, by the sea?
I know you’ve always hated the sound of the waves.
Crashing against the shore, I guess you don’t anymore.
I guess there ain’t much left of who you were and what’s been sworn.
But I lost my face and soon I’ll be losing my name.
Because there ain’t no place in your heart for a dying flame.
And the ghost I’ve become doesn’t haunt you anymore.
But he still haunts me.
He’s still there.
For all those years, he never left me
For all those days, you never left me.
For all those years, he never left me.
For all those days, he never left me.
(You broke the chains so easily my love.)
He never left me.
(You broke the chains so easily my love.)
He never left me.
(You broke the chains so easily my love.)
He never left me.
(You broke the chains so easily my love.)

The Backroom

Mirror, Mirror, show me mercy please,
I’ll keep my head down I promise.
But I got tickets for the end of the world and I don’t want to miss it again.
And If I make it past the pictures down the hall,
I swear I will not dance with the wolves.
But I got tickets for the end of the world and I don’t want to miss it again.
So don’t wait for me, I might be gone for a while.
I’ve read the play and I’ve learned my lines.
I know just how it ends, I know just how it ends.
I know just how it ends, I know just how it ends.
Can someone dim the lights down; they made me, they made me.
I lost my pride to the crowd. Can’t you see? Can’t you see?
This stage is going down.
Do you think they heard me stumbling in the backroom?
Do you think they heard me stumbling in the back of my mind?
They’re talking about it now. They must be. Are they?
And now, I’m afraid of the words that you used to say when I was young and numb.
So please wait for me, I won’t be gone for too long.
I’ve read the play and I’ve learned my lines.
I know just how it ends, I know just how it ends.
I know just how it ends, I know just how it ends.
Can someone dim the lights down; they made me, they made me.
I lost my pride to the crowd. Can’t you see? Can’t you see?
That I can’t seem to find it anywhere, lord knows I tried.
And I can hardly see anything.
Mirror, mirror, please forgive me.
I danced too close to the lights.
Mirror, mirror, show me mercy.
Just show me mercy please.

Drive Me Home
03:05

Sitting at the bar;
Drinking a pint besides you;
Celebrating your friend's birthday;
And the absence of mine.
I don't know you, but you know me.
You remind me of someone that's gone.
I wouldn't let you walk away.
We’re both lying down in the parking lot helping me to get on my feet.
Just get in the car. We’ll go somewhere.
Drive me home now.
Drive me home now.
Drive me home.
Oh, drive me home now.
(Wake up! Morning’s here already.)
(Stand up! Breathe in and lean on me.)
(Give up! Choking on misery now.)
Blind my eyes!
Fears! They disappear when you stay around.
Ohh!
Ohh!
See, there's a part of me you don't know, but I prefer to pretend that everything's fine.
That everything's fine!
Yeah, everything's fine.
It's all okay.

Rivers Away

Frame another mountain and hang it on your wall.
I'll be counting all the hair I lost today.
Carefully hampering the way.
Now, build me a bridge and pave it up with gold, because we are rivers away.
Darkness will enclose me before I light the candles;
Just let me know when you're not in town.
‘Cause, I don't know how much you hate me.
I guess I won't ever know.
You tell me.
You tell me.
You tell me now.
I wrote a letter to explain it all.
I burned it right away.
It's worthless.
It's worthless.
It's worthless now.
Feels like a lifetime ago and I'm still there.
Is there some common sense left inside my own brain?
This is drifting me all apart.
It's in my veins; it's in my way.
Should I try to cross the creek ?
What are the directions ?
I might need to know where I'm headed, because I don't want to find you around.
I don't know how much you hate me.
I guess I won't ever know.
You tell me.
You tell me.
You tell me now.
I wrote a letter to explain it all.
I burned it right away.
It's worthless.
It's worthless.
It's worthless now.

Sleeping Storm

And there were times I was distant.
And there were times I was comfortably empty.
I’ve built a home inside a shell,
Where there’s no room for no one else;
There’s no room for your eyes on my walls.
No, I will never let you see past the surface.
And I will never let you open the door.
No, I will never let you see past the surface.
And I will never let you open the door.
And there were times I was distant.
And there were times I was comfortably empty.
I’ve built a home inside a shell,
Where there’s no room for no one else;
There’s no room for your eyes on my walls.
No, I will never let you see past the surface.
And I will never let you open the door.
No, I will never let you see past the surface.
And I will never let you open the door.
What if you found yourself on a empty wreck?
You can't trust me, neither can I.
I'll try my best to speak my mind, but there’s no hill to hide behind.
I wished you could’ve known me better.
No, you’ll never ever let it grow.
We’ll never ever live to know.
I’ll never ever let you go.
I’ll never ever ever ever...
