So I lied,
It was a cold summer.
By Fall, true Winter flows like a Virgin Spring.

We're headed for disaster,
But I won't close my eyes until it's over.
So carry on...

Some wars I gladly died in,
But most fights only got me bloody.
I carried on...

And if every drop of blood I shed was spilled in vain,
I'll carry on...

We're headed for disaster.
Disaster.
Front Toward Enemy.
We can only face...

Front Toward Enemy.
Front Toward Enemy.
Enemy.

There's a mile of rope that lays between my shoulders.
It doesn't mean that I intend to hang.
And I'm not afraid of dying,
Like I know I should be.

So I lied.
It was a cold Summer.
By Fall, Winter's truth will flow like a Virgin Spring.

Did I make a huge mistake,
When I said your name?
Oh, I miss the sweet perfume of oil and gasoline.
All the stars,
All the suns,
All the air I breathe.
All the bottles that I leave.

Before you know I'll be on the open road.
Now I'm black and green,
Golden at the seams.

I'm already gone.
Too Late... So Long!
I'm already gone.
Too Late. So Long!
I'm already gone...

All I made were big mistakes.
Always went too far.
All the stars,
All the suns,
All the air I breathe.
All the empty promises I keep.

Before you know I'll be on the open road.
Now I'm black and green.
Golden at the seams.

I'm already gone.
Too Late... So Long!
I'm already gone.
Too Late. So Long!
I'm already gone.

I'm already gone...

Where are the seasons that have passed?
Wouldn't they wait?
They're staring outside the window crack,
Swimming inside me.

Where are the shadows I have cast?
Wouldn't they wait?
Didn't they find the way out,
Living inside me?

We fall.
We rise.
We bend.
We break.
We burn but we survive.

Forget me when I'm gone.
Settle in and don't forget to go to bed.
You tucked your fingers away.
All of the seasons that I have lost,
Where did they run and hide?
Where do we go when the well runs dry,
And the seasons are all that we know?

We fall.
We rise.
We bend.
We break.
We burn but we survive.

We fall.
We rise.
We bend.
We break.
We burn but we survive.

Bought an artificial heart and it's broken,
It never started.
Please operator take it out of here.
Don't let it be the death of me.

Filled my bloodstream up with poison and ashes,
Now I'm starving
Don't ever let me go my sweet amphetamine,
Holding on, all alone.

Somebody throw me a tourniquet,
I'm open-hearted.
I took a shot in the dark and I'm wasted,
Start it all again.
I tried to save myself from a heart attack,
But I had it coming.
Another shot to my cardiac did not start it up.

Wake me up on the ocean floor.
A storm's passing overhead,
Warning me to come ashore.
In the blink of an eye,
My heart still breaks,
My blood still waits,
I'll never sleep alone.

I've got an artificial heart.
It beats but I can't feel a thing.
It's an unofficial part.
It bleeds but I'm already gone.

Better hurry up with the tourniquet,
'Cause I'm open hearted.
Please operator take it out of here,
And start it up.

I've got an artificial heart.
It beats but I can't feel a thing.
It's an unofficial part,
It bleeds but I'm already gone.

...throw me an anchor...

The stars that shone between us,
Were bluish-green and golden-like.
Beware the hand that feeds us,
Where the birds of prey,
Hold onto the stolen light.

Throw me an anchor!
I hope you learned,
When you gave me fire,
I made it burn.

The stars that shone between us,
Were bluish-black and gold.
The colours spreading everywhere,
Begin to fade,
Like bleach on poison ivy skin.

This is an emergency.
This is an emergency.

The stars that shone between us
Were all in monochrome.

This is an emergency.
Your mask will now appear.
This is an emergency.
This is an...

Emergency.

You'd throw me an anchor!
And hope I'd learn,
When you hold me to fire,
You'd think I'd burn.
When you bathe in fire
I'd throw you an anchor.
I know you learned,
When you hand me a lighter...

...I will make it burn...

If you pulled gently,
I'd fall right back into line again.
You helped me check myself,
And all that I surround.
It was moments ago,
I knew exactly what to say.
Spilling on the ground,
The words forever gold and grey.
When I make my escape,
Will I get sucked up by the rain?

I am selfish.
I am wrong.
I'm scared to be alone.
Every aching joint, breaking at the bone.

I'd do anything to feel like I'm alive again.
I'd do anything to feel like I'm alive.
I would do anything to feel like I'm alive again.
I'd do anything.

Anything.

The world keeps burning,
So it's back into the fire again.
You kept me low,
But I am high above the ground.
No you didn't miss a word.
You know exactly what I said.
"I lost myself when I loved my enemy"

I'd do anything to feel like I'm alive again.
I'd do anything to feel like I'm alive.
I would do anything to feel like I'm alive again.
I'd do anything.

Anything.

[instrumental]

When I go out, will you find me?
Where I'm supposed to be,
Is no longer the place for me.

If I go out, will you find me?
Where I'm supposed to be,
Is no longer the place for me.

If you go out, I will find you.
Where you're supposed to be,
Is no longer the place for me.

This blood upon my hands,
These bruises on my knees,
Don't belong to me.

I'm in a shower of radiating light
But not where I belong.

If I'm walking, where you find me,
Is where I want to be.

When I go out, where you find me,
Is where I want to be.

Cold-blooded angels in blankets of ash,
Alone in the southern pines.
There's a place in the garden where nothing will grow,
But I could stay forever.

Where I lay every night on the forest's floor,
Asleep with both eyes open.
Because I need that bitter hand that struck me blind,
To keep my eyes from closing.

Pale as the rose or the shadow it throws,
Over earth and sky.
If the rocks in my pocket were cinder in stone,
I'd owe it all to nothing.

Wasted years on an empty road
Where flies buzz around my head.
Now I miss the bitter hand that cut me down,
All the way to nothing.

Wasted years on an empty road
Where flies buzz around my head.
If the dust in my pocket was silver or gold,
I'd spend it all on nothing.

There's something waiting at the door...
I hear it breathing.
I follow even though I'm sure...
I should be leading.
There's something waiting at the door...
I see it bleeding.
Every time I ask for more...
I can't believe it,

All I need was hanging at the door.
I'm not sleeping anymore,
Because I remember every single word,
Every little thing I can't forget.

[Instrumental]

She is the deepest ocean,
That I could hope to drown in.
If my iron wings should break again,
I hope I'd fly into your eyes.

Gold and grey...
Your eyes were gold and grey.
And I would do anything
To feel like I'm on fire again.

I wouldn't hold my breath to stop the tide from rising.
I'd open up my lungs.
Let me hold your salt and sorrow in place,
Like a wave that never breaks.

I would tear my heart out.
I'd walk a thousand crooked miles.
Then I'd start a fire, turn the world to flame,
To watch it shining in your eyes.

Cold and grey...
Your eyes were cold and grey.
And I would do anything
To feel like I'm on fire again.

I won't close my eyes to keep the sun from rising.
I'll hold them open wide.
Let me hold your broken halo inside,
Like a sun that never shines.

I hope your eyes are black on fire.
Let me hold the salt and sorrow in place,
Where the waves will never break.
Let me hold your broken halo,
Where the sunlight never shines.

[instrumental]

Falling like a hammer on a solitary arc.
It struck a nail,
Now we'll never be apart.
I'm just a shadow on the wall...

And I curse the ground beneath my feet.
I curse the boiling sea.
And I curse the stars above my head,
For staring back at me
Damn the whip that cracked and split,
Damn the hand behind it.

Wait for me,
By my gallow's pole.
Hang around,
I won't be long.

Borderline,
Get me out alive.
When it rains,
I am right where I belong.

I'm sorry but the voice inside my head won't let me go.
I know you won't forgive me for the things you'll never know.
Come back to me sweet Armageddon!
Hurry up and find me!

Wait for me,
By the iron rail.
Hold on...

Borderline,
Get me out of line.
When it rains,
I am right where I belong.

Across the borderline,
The architect was stunned by his design.
I never fell so hard.
You'll be the axe...
I'm your hesitation marks.

Borderline,
Gets me out alive.
When it rains,
Boy, it really rains...

[instrumental]

Knives fall.
Pale sun.
Night's fall.
Pale sun sinking.
Knives fall.
Pale sun.
Night's fall.
Pale sun sinking.

Night fall.
Panic setting again,
Around me.
Night fall.
You've hidden your black eyes away again.
Knives fall.
I don't wanna hear,
The sound of breaking skin.
Knives fall.
Of fear and darkness,
Coming down
Around me.

Knives fall.
Pale sun.
Night's fall.
Pale sun sinking.
Knives fall.
Pale sun.
Night's fall.
Pale sun,

Sinking.
