is there anything to ease the pain
to freeze my flame inside
or is it something I can wield
as the flowers wither, world is spinning,
I grow up on lies
you have changed or is it me

see my bridges burning
fire walk with me

so I build the mountains, blow the wind
and light the morning sun
am I far too much for you
now the final chapter opens
and I haste to free my mind
this is love and this is doom

see my bridges burning
fire walk with me

I'm the fly on your wall
and the sound I make will always remain
humming on
bringing sounds and smells of summer

I'm the swarm in your jar
hear the song we sing - a twisted refrain
humming on
bringing stings and milk and honey

I change the season every time you feel secure
and I need no reason to paint
butterflies & dragons on your wall

I'm the jack in the box
and the frown I make will always remain
in your mind
bringing memories and nightmares

I change the season every time you feel secure
and if you touch the magic spot - god help us all
I'm painting butterflies & dragons on your wall

I change the season every time you feel secure
and I need no reason to paint
butterflies & dragons on your wall

I see the thorn in your eye
I feel the pain when she cries

pale are the mornings at fall
a new day just waiting for more

in her room so quietly
I see the thorn in your eye
although she weeps so silently
I feel the pain when she cries

I am the ghost in your dreams
you hear my voice in the breeze

in her room so quietly
I see the thorn in your eye
although she weeps so silently
I feel the pain when she cries

if you leave as I close my eyes
I will never sleep again
taste my heart sulphur butterfly
or forever fly alone

I am your thunderdome
I provide the leper's bliss
I am the reptiles tongue that speaks in riddles
come taste the gargoyle's kiss

if you leave as I close my eyes
I will never sleep again
taste my heart sulphur butterfly
or forever fly alone

I write a hundred books to tell you how much
I dive a thousand times and float with the rush
I dig a million graves to know how it feels
I take a hundred pills and kick till it bleeds

I'll take you downhill
behold your childhood's end
I'll take you downhill

I've got a symphony trapped inside my head
sometimes a note falls out and paints my pillow red
so don't approach me if you meet me late at night
because childhood's over when you know
you're gonna die

I'll take you downhill
behold your childhood's end
I'll take you downhill
behold your childhood's end

how do you fake a loving smile
how do you make truth of lies
how do you do my old friend
this song is for you I sing again

where are my pills for broken dreams
where are my furs my plastic gleam
please entertain the lights are on

last time around a night burns fast
bring forth the clown welcome the mass
two different names on different doors
a star on mine a note on yours

where are my pills for broken dreams
where are my furs my plastic gleam
please entertain the lights are on

come sun
come rain
come love seduce me
black sun
black rain
black love seduce me
seduce me

how do you fake a loving smile
how do you make truth of lies
how do you do my old friend
this song is for you I sing again

where are my pills for broken dreams
where are my furs my plastic gleam
please entertain the lights are on

come sun
come rain
come love seduce me
seduce me

technology stands tall
I won't tell you where I'll go

locked away in this cage until I say I'm sorry
locked away in this cage until I say I love you

locked away
here I'm safe until the break
break of day
unveils my fragile
locked away
in this cage I'm locked away
break of day
unveils my cold heart

machine of broken dreams
construction of my fears

locked away in this cage until I say I'm sorry
locked away in this cage until I say I love you

locked away
here I'm safe until the break
break of day
unveils my fragile
locked away
in this cage I'm locked away
break of day
unveils my cold heart

welcome to my castle under water
counting you the triads is complete
in black and blue our home reflects
the beauty of the night
the captain wants to see you
come along

nine thousand fathoms
the escape is complete

triangle

welcome to the inner halls of triton
nemo here has got the expertise
let us bond with whales so they can
keep us entertained
the air is thick but boredom
hits the brain

nine thousand fathoms
the escape is complete
blue magic sparks
in the air that I breathe

triangle

this is where it ends
when you find my secret hideout
the chapel for my memories
did you know
when I was just a child
I thought this was the whole world
four walls of fading lullabies

please don't step inside
this ground is far too sacred
a totem to identify
did you know
this is all that's left
and this is all I am
do you hear the fading lullaby

and I feel unreal

two letter on a box
it always made me shiver
the artifacts and broken dolls
did you know
I always thought that one
could play the game for two
the labyrinth looks smaller now

and I feel unreal

do you see the shape of silver limbs
can you face the
twisted wings
the loved ones, the fire
eternal desire
go deep and search for my soul
this body's carved out of stone

carousels of decadence and art
all too precious
broken heart
forsaken - forgotten
couragious and frozen
go deep and search for my soul
this body's carved out of stone

alliance of my heart
monumental sermons to keep us worlds apart

sculpture face
a twisted dream
the loved ones, the fire
eternal desire
go deep and search for my soul
this body's carved out of stone

alliance of my heart
monumental sermons to keep us worlds apart
do you understand the alliance of my heart
monumental sermons to keep us worlds apart
