Hey there girl, pick up the phone sometime and call me
Did I hurt you? I said some things that I regret..
And I know that we don't know each other very well girl
But if you would just spend the time with me i'm sure we'll be fine
I've never felt like this
It started with a kiss
I've never felt like this
I wish we'd be together
And not just for a night, I will love you always
Cast aside your fears
I wish for us to be married
Modern romance, Modern romance
Modern romance I decide, it's your true love and mine
In each others arms, modern romance has its charms
I've never felt like this
It started with a kiss
I've never felt like this
I wish we'd be together
On our own
in this world gone wrong
let our love be true
I wish we'd be together
On our own
in this world gone wrong
let our love ring true
Hey there girl there's just one thing before you go
I just want to say I love you very much

I could tell a different story, I could tell the story of my life
But i wouldn't tell it right
If I could see into the future, A perfect picture painted without rain
without sun it's all the same
One day and a thousand nights, not a thing to do but spend with you
Not a thing to do, one day and a thousand nights with you
It's fine to take your time
What a thing to but spend with you
One day and a thousand nights, i'll see you again

Could I just take the time to catch my breath?
Exhale
Looking down at the harbour side
Why do I always feel so tired and tongue tied?
Twisted inside
It gets to me
This life of mine
It gets to me (sometimes)
This life of mine
Do you remember the time we meant to dance together?
I love you forever
It gets to me
This life of mine
It gets to me (sometimes)
This life of mine
(Together forever, I love you forever)
It gets to me
This life of mine
It gets to me (sometimes)
This life of mine
Yeah it gets to me
This life of mine
Yeah it gets to me (sometimes)
This life of mine

Exhale
05:19
|
|||
|
I don't have time to catch my breath
I don't have time for breathing in
soft sheets in between
eyes
stretched tight at the seams
exhale
you're breathing
I exhale
Your diamonds away
Turn away
Your diamonds will set sail
And when your diamonds have gone to dust
Yeah it takes time to catch your breath
Yeah it takes time to breathe again
Her face turned away
Static and silent
Alert in the void
Exhale
You're breathing
I exhale
Your Diamonds away
Turn away
Your diamonds wil set sail
I exhale

As far as I know

I wish that I went further
As far as I can see
But even though you're distant
You're close at hand it seems
I'd rather stand in silence
Than take a bow in the light
The sun and sea are violent
A tear so much in my dream
Of innocence and lying
A sister decided on diving
And now she's gone away
A cast of hate in iron
Without a doubt in my head
A call to armed alliance
A call I can't ignore
And I decide on silence
A sight of me on the floor
As far as I know
It's sad to say i'm lying
That I know only a dream
Say, say, say something
At least a smile for me?

Beating Heart

You're swimming in a sinking ship
Hoping the best will come
In a life line
Open your beating heart
Your beating heart
Mourning time lost
Spilt milk a river
No sense in crying, gotta
Open your beating heart
Your beating heart
Truth spoken sin
Down down down
Keep your faith
Whisper in my ear
We're jumping ship
My time has come, to
Open my beating heart
My beating heart

Bitter Taste

When I was a little younger
I went down the road
To see a friend and play a song that I wrote
And he told me that I was onto something good that day
And I heard soon thereafter that I would be signed
To my friends record label
They must have read my mind
But it turned to stone
It turned out it was a pack of lies
Of course I was insulted
I felt dejected and
I lost my faith in some friends i'd
Some friends i'd never had
When I think of the anger that I felt inside
I think to myself:
Did I run and hide?
Have I caught my breath?
Do I still feel shy?
In these formative years it does not bode well to brood
But I look back on those times when I started out alone
And my friendships turned to stone
It left a bitter taste in my mouth
When my friendships turned to stone
It left a bitter taste in my mouth

It gets easier to find
Down on your mind
It gets harder
When you're down
I haven't felt the same hunger
that I had when I was younger
It gets harder
When you've grown
They say
This is all disappearing
There are no prizes for toughness
I've given up on children
They say
This is all just a clearing
I find no justice in hearing
You've given up on Children

So you wanna be a rock 'n' roll star
Then listen now do what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time to learn how to play
And when your hairs combed right and your pants fit tight its gonna be all right
Then it's time to go downtown where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two if you make the charts the girls will tear you apart
The price you paid for your riches and fame was it all a strange game you're a little insane
But its a game in the public acclaim
don't forget who you are you're a rock 'n' roll star
don't forget who you are you're a rock 'n' roll star

Chain song

Reaching from under
Touching my skin
Chain, chain, chain, chain
Pulling the weight of
Word from a bridge
Chain, chain, chain, chain
Spirited thinking
Nothing will break me
Chain, chain, chain
Spirited thinking
Nothing will shake me
Chain, chain, chain

I have my whole life to focus on
Gently, gently as I am
I hope my only sister sheds her fears
from all the men
I choke on all these words
What I am is only what I have
If not
Don't go gently
Gently as i have
A chill ran down my spine
If only I knew
That it was mine
I cannot lie to save my life
White strands
It's burning
Across my face

Day done, doledrum
01:58

Other people live outside
On their own they run and hide
Stranger clothes strange to the eye
Other people live in shadows
Wave goodbye as I leave my home
Other people like to live alone
Day done doledrum
Day done doledrum
Automatic auto-kill
deathly dance deathly pill
nice to try sleeping through the day
wash in bleach feel yourself decay
Day done doledrum
Day done doledrum

Darkstar

Here in self-loathing rawhide
I've heard
Here i've found what I am
I fought my whole life
To be somewhere
In hand
I have only what I know
I have only what I am
I know only what I have
I fought my whole life
My whole life in a shell
But i'm not lonely
I'm lonely when I have a dark star
I fought my whole life
But I have only
I only have myself
Into the distance
A distaste on my tongue
A dark star
The destination lives
I have my doubts but
The rest is self-assured
I will be only
Only where I go
A darkstar
