To/Die/For - Wounds Wide Open lyrics



Tracks



01. Intro - Sorrow

Like a Hellhound can smell you
Sorrow will find you
It can smell you, feel you
You may run from sorrow, as I have
Sorrow needs you
You may run from sorrow, as I have
Sorrow will find you

02. Wicked Circle

Wherever you will fall
I'll be there I will follow
Never let you fall alone

We thought we bled all we had
But out momentary joy was a lie
And heavenly moments never last

In the grave of our souls hope lies buried
Wasting time in our sweet wicked circle
Life's just a pain we go through
With broken wings me and you
No salvation in view

No angels on our shoulders
Only wolves howling beyond our walls

We thought we bled all we had
But out momentary joy was a lie
And heavenly moments never last

In the grave of our souls hope lies buried
Wasting time in our sweet wicked circle
Life's just a pain we go through
With broken wings me and you
There's no way out

In the grave of our souls hope lies buried
Wasting time in our sweet wicked circle
Life's just a pain we go through
With broken wings me and you
No salvation in view

03. Guilt Ridden State

The darkness whispers death
Shadows gain upon me
Running out of breath
Can't control the fear
Feels like someone's watching
Hiding in the dark
Silent echoes screaming
Paralyze my heart

Hey! Leave me alone in the darkness
Leave me alone with my sin
Nothing can save this heartless soul
This guilt ridden state I'm in

Isolation comforts me
Solitude brings safety
Pointing fingers blaming me
For something I didn't do
The blood on my hands ain't mine
I don't know where I've been
Did I cross the line
Of dream and reality

Hey! Leave me alone in the darkness
Leave me alone with my sin
Nothing can save this heartless soul
This guilt ridden state I'm in

04. Like Never Before

I've seen the rain and the sun
Some I've lost, some I have won
Some I've destroyed and saved
I'm digging a grave for myself
I am not afraid
Roses will bloom and roses will fade

Follow me into damnation
(I'll rock your world down there)
Fly with me into the skies
(I'll show you heaven)
Cry or laugh it's all the same
(Hey, no one will care)
The world keeps turning anyway

My soul is aching
Like never before
Tonight I'm so alive
Dance with me now
Like never before
'cause we never know
About tomorrow

No matter what it takes
As long as blood runs in my veins
My candle will burn from both ends
I'm digging a grave for myself
I am not afraid
Roses will bloom and roses will fade

Follow me into damnation
(I'll rock your world down there)
Fly with me into the skies
(I'll show you heaven)
Cry or laugh it's all the same
(Hey, no one will care)
The world keeps turning anyway

My soul is aching
Like never before
Tonight I'm so alive
Dance with me now
Like never before
'cause we never know
About tomorrow

05. Under A Velvet Sky

Night is like a hand
That feeds our lust
Darkness, like a temple of love
No sorrow in us
Stars above make us feel alive tonight

Wake up when night drives sun away
Feel the rush burn in our veins
Fall asleep before the dawn
Hearts ache
Under a velvet sky

Faces look cruel in daytime
And we are weak under the sun
We're strangers in the middle of the day
You are the moonshine child
And I am the one
Who's been blinded by the daylight
Come and follow me

Wake up when night drives sun away
Feel the rush burn in our veins
Fall asleep before the dawn
Hearts ache
Under a velvet sky

Night is like a hand
That feeds our lust
Darkness, like a temple of love
No sorrow in us
Stars above make us feel alive tonight

Wake up when night drives sun away
Feel the rush burn in our veins
Fall asleep before the dawn
Hearts ache
Under a velvet sky

06. Scar Diary

See my life written all over my arms
White strokes of misery
I call them diary, some call them scars
Each one holds a memory

I, I make my last entry, this one sums them all
Last word I carve is too deep
No, no one will miss me, no one at all
Lay down and forever sleep

So many chapters, of pain and regret
So many years spent in sin
Entries of sadness, of tears that I've shed
Eternally carved on my skin

I, I make my last entry, this one sums them all
Last word I carve is too deep
No, no one will miss me, no one at all
Lay down and forever sleep

07. New Heaven

Shadows are dancing for me
Celebrating the death of my humanity
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I am fading away with my sins
With forbidden lusts
Feels like I'm here only to wither away

Catch my fall
Rip the pain out from my chest
Show me a new heaven
Lift me up from the deepest grave
Catch my fall
Show me that life is worth living
Reality is killing me

Vanity blocks my rusted veins
New dawn is nothing but a dive into a thick haze
Apathy conceals my passions behind black lace
My only joy... writhing in pain
Without grace

My vanity is rankling me like the chaps on my skin
Catch my fall
Show me that life is worth living

Rip the pain out from my chest
Show me a new heaven
Lift me up from the deepest grave

Catch my fall
Rip the pain out from my chest
Show me a new heaven
Lift me up from the deepest grave
Catch my fall
Show me that life is worth living
Reality is killing me

08. The Quiet Room

I sit and I wait
In the quiet room
Cover my face with my hands
I've been here for hours
But nobody comes I know you are gone
'cause it's taking too long
For someone to bring me the news
'Cause somehow I know I've already lost you

Alone in the quiet room
At home it's more quiet without you
I knew this day would come
For me it came too soon
Alone in the quiet room
At home it's more quiet without you

A knock at the door I stand up in fright
Somebody finally came
He says he is sorry
Did all that they could
But your life they couldn't save

I let my tears flow
'Cause somehow I knew
I knew I had already lost you

09. Liquid Lies

Anything for a high
Treason and lies
Don't care about the payback
Don't care about the price
Words without a meaning
Staring glassy eyes
Shaking human wreck
See through liquid lies

A shot is all it takes
To lift you from the low
It's not the right way
But on and on you go

Ripping wounds wide open
Give it all you got
There's nothing left to say
Erase the sinner's blood
Ripping wounds wide open
Give it all you got
Poison words and life astray
Addicted to the rush

Playing with the devil
Addicted to the rush
There is no other way
Blood runs poisonous
But on and on you

Ripping wounds wide open
Give it all you got
There's nothing left to say
Erase the sinner's blood
Ripping wounds wide open
Give it all you got
Poison words and life astray
Addicted to the rush

Show me your face
Under the mask
Show me who you really are
I know there's more to you

Ripping wounds wide open
Give it all you got
There's nothing left to say
Erase the sinner's blood
Ripping wounds wide open
Give it all you got
Poison words and life astray
Addicted to the rush

10. (I Just) Want You

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsignable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again, yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or
forgivable sins

There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true,
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

I'm sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lennon's daughter, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens, do
you know what I mean? Yeah

There are no indisputable truths
And there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you,
Hey, yeah
I just want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you, hey
I just want you
I just want you

11. Sorrow Remains

When hope has faded
The road goes on and on
Wrong decisions made
In each and every crossroads
Like a living dead
Deprived of all emotions
Someone else instead
Decides my destiny

Sorrow remains
It's branded into my soul
Never lets me go
Dreams die young within me
Sorrow as company

Along this narrow path
I've learned to know the unknown
The only friend I have
Reveals it's unseen face
I walk along with sorrow
Each footstep echoes pain
Still I want to follow
Wherever it make take me

Sorrow remains
It's branded into my soul
Never lets me go
Dreams die young within me
Sorrow as company
