    • Let Love In

      You wait, wanting this world
      To let you in
      And you stand there
      A frozen light
      In dark and empty streets
      You smile hiding behind
      A God-given face
      But I know you're so much more
      Everything they ignore
      Is all that I need to see

      You're the only one I ever believed in
      The answer that could never be found
      The moment you decided to let love in
      Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
      The end of fear is where we begin
      The moment we decided to let love in

      I wish
      Wishing for you to find your way
      And I'll hold on for all you need
      That's all we need to say
      I'll take my chances while
      You take your time with
      This game you play
      But I can't control your soul
      You need to let me know
      You leaving or you gonna stay

      You're the only one I ever believed in
      The answer that could never be found
      The moment you decided to let love in
      Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
      The end of fear is where we begin
      The moment we decided to let love in

      There's nothing we can do about
      The things we have to do without
      The only way to feel again
      Is let love in

      There's nothing we can do about
      The things we have to live without
      The only way to see again
      Is let love in

      You're the only one I ever believed in
      The answer that could never be found
      The moment you decided to let love in
      Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
      The end of fear is where we begin
      The moment we decided to let love in

    • Dizzy

       

      You're cynical and beautiful
      You always make a scene
      You're monochrome delerious
      You're nothing that you seem
      I'm drownin' in your vanity
      Your laugh is a disease
      You're dirty and you're sweet
      You know you're everything to me
       
      Everything you are
      Falls from the sky like a star
      Everything you are
      Whatever ever you want
       
      I wanna kick at the machine
      That made you piss away you dreams
      And tear at your defenses
      'Til there's nothing there but me
      You're angry when you're beautiful
      Your love is such a tease
      I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
      I wanna feel you scream
       
      Everything you are
      Falls from the sky like a star
      Everything you are
      Whatever ever you want
       
      Everything you are
      Falls from the sky like a star
      Everything you are
      Whatever ever you want
       
      Everything you are
      Whatever ever you want
      Whatever ever you want
      Whatever ever you want

      The priest is on the phone
      Your father hit the wall
      Your ma disowned you

    • Name (New Version)

      And even though the moment passed me by
      I still can't turn away
      Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
      Got tossed along the way
      And letters that you never meant to send
      Got lost or thrown away

      And now we're grown up orphans
      And never knew their names
      We don't belong to no one
      That's a shame
      But you could hide beside me
      Maybe for a while
      And I won't tell no one your name
      And I won't tell 'em your name

      And scars are souvenirs you never lose
      The past is never far
      Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
      Did you get to be a star?
      And don't it make you sad to know that life
      Is more than who we are

      We grew up way too fast
      And now there's nothing to believe
      And reruns all become our history
      A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
      And I won't tell no one your name
      And I won't tell 'em your name
      I won't tell em' your name
      Oooh, oooh, oooh
      I won't tell em' your name
      Ow!

      I think about you all the time
      But I don't need the same
      It's lonely where you are
      Come back down
      And I won't tell 'em your name

    • Stay With You

      These streets
      Turn me inside out
      Everything shines
      But leaves me empty still
      And I'll, burn this lonely house down
      If you run with me
      If you run with me

      I'll stay with you
      The walls will fall before we do
      Take my hand now
      We'll run forever
      I can feel the storm inside you
      I'll stay with you

      Fooled by my own desires
      I twist my fate
      Just to feel you
      But you, turn me toward the light
      And you're one with me
      Will you run with me?

      I'll stay with you
      The walls will fall before we do
      Take my hand now
      We'll run forever
      I can feel the storm inside you
      I'll stay with you

      Now come in from this storm
      I taste you sweet and warm
      Take what you need
      Take what you need
      From me

      Wake up this world
      Wake up tonight
      And run with me
      Run to me now

      I'll stay with you
      The walls will fall before we do
      Take my hand now
      We'll run forever
      I can feel the storm inside you
      I'll stay with you

    • Before It's Too Late

       

      I wander through fiction to look for the truth
      Buried beneath all the lies
      and I stood at a distance
      To feel who you are
      Hiding myself in your eyes
       
      And
       
      [Chorus:]
      hold on before it's too late
      We'll run till we leave this behind
      Don't fall just be who you are
      It's all that we need in our lives
       
      and the risk that might break you
      Is the one that would save
      A life you don't live is still lost
      So stand on the edge with me
      Hold back your fear and see
      Nothing is real 'til it's gone
       
      [Chorus]
       
      So live like you mean it
      Love 'til you feel it
      It's all that we need in our lives
      So stand on the edge with me
      Hold back your fear and see
      Nothing is real 'til it's gone
       
      [Chorus x2]
       
      It's all that we need in our lives
      It's all that I need in my life
    • Broadway

       

      Broadway's dark tonight
      A little bit weaker than you used to be
      Broadway's dark tonight
      See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
      Waitin' for his turn to die
       
      The cowboy kills the rock star
      And Friday night's gone too far
      The dim light hides the years
      On all the faded girls
       
      Forgotten but not gone
      You drink it off your mind
      You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been
       
      You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
      Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here
       
      Broadway's dark tonight
      A little bit weaker than you used to be
      Broadway's dark tonight
      See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
      Waitin' for his turn to die
       
      You choke down all your anger
      Forget your only son
      You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
      Your anger don't impress me
      The world slapped in your face
      It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade
       
      You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
      Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
      When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
      To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
       
      Broadway's dark tonight
      A little bit weaker than you used to be
      Broadway's dark tonight
      See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
      Waitin' for his turn to die
       
      You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
      Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
      When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
      To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
      Round here, yeah
       
      Broadway's dark tonight
      A little bit weaker than you used to be
      Broadway's dark tonight
      See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
      Waitin' for his turn to die
    • Feel The Silence (Remix)

       

      You lie awake at night
      With blue eyes that never cry
      All you remember now
      Is what you feel
       
      The truth remains
      In midnight conversations
      I asked for this moment
      But you turned away
       
      Sad like a lonely child
      Broken the day you're born
      I held the light to you
      But I was so vain
       
      And you remain
      A promise unfulfilled
      I ask you for more
      But you push me away
       
      And if we feel the silence
      Holding this all inside
      Everything means more now than
      Words could explain
       
      And if we feel the silence
      Holding this all inside us
      Looking for something more to say
      I don't know where I'm going
      Only know where I been
      But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind
      We've been so lost for so long
      I don't know how to get back again 
      And we're drowning in the water
      That flows under this bridge
      When you're fighting the current
      You forget how to live
      And I wanted to reach you but I don't know where to begin
      And you remain
      A promise unfulfilled until today
       
      And if we feel the silence
      Holding this all inside
      Everything means more now than
      Words could explain
      And if we feel the silence
      Leaving this all behind us
      When it's gone what will you say
       
      How do we hold on
      How do we hold on
      How do we hold on
      How do we hold on
      How do we hold on
       
      You lie awake at night
      With blue eyes that never cry
    • Better Days

       

      And you ask me what I want this year
      And I try to make this kind and clear
      Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
      Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
      And designer love and empty things
      Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
       
      So take these words
      And sing out loud
      Cause everyone is forgiven now
      Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
       
      I need someplace simple where we could live
      And something only you can give
      And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
      And the one poor child who saved this world
      And there's 10 million more who probably could
      If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
       
      So take these words
      And sing out loud
      Cause everyone is forgiven now
      Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
       
      I wish everyone was loved tonight
      And somehow stop this endless fight
      Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
       
      So take these words
      And sing out loud
      Cause everyone is forgiven now
      Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
      Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
    • Big Machine

       

      Ecstacy is all you need
      Living in the big machine now
      Oh, you're so vain
      Now your world is way too fast
      Nothin's real and nothing lasts
      And I'm aware
       
      I'm in love but you don't care
      Turn your anger into lust
      I'm still here, but you don't trust at all
      And I'll be waiting
       
      Love and sex and loneliness 
      Take what's yours and leave the rest
      So I'll survive
      God, it's good to be alive
       
      [Chorus]
      And I'm torn in pieces 
      I'm lyin there waiting for
      My heart is reeling
      I'm blind and waiting for you
       
      Silly love with all your sins
      Wait and stop and I begin
      And I'll - I'll be waitin'
      Livin' like a house on fire
      What you fear is your desire
      It's hard to deal
      I still love the way you feel
       
      Now this angry little girl
      Drownin in this petty world
      And I'm who you run to
      Swallow all your bitter pills
      That's what makes you beautiful
      You're all a lie
      I won't leave what you ain't got
       
      [Chorus]
       
      I'm blind and waiting for you
      I'm blind and waiting for you
       
      And I can't believe it's coming true
      God, it's good to be alive
      I'm still here and waitin' for you
      And I can't believe it's coming true
      I'm blind and waiting for you
    • Black Balloon

       

      Baby's black balloon makes her fly
      I almost fell into that hole in your life
      And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
      Cuz you were the same as me
      But on your knees
       
      A thousand other boys could never reach you
      How could I have been the one?
      I saw the world spin beneath you
      And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb
       
      Comin' down the world turned over
      And angels fall without you there
      And I go on as you get colder
      Or are you someone's prayer?
       
      You know the lies they always told you
      And the love you never knew
      What's the things they never showed you
      That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah
       
      Comin' down the world turned over
      And angels fall without you there
      And I go on as you get colder
      Always someone there
       
      And there's no time left for losin'
      When you stand they fall, yeah
       
      Comin' down the world turned over
      And angels fall without you there
      And I go on as you get colder
      All because I'm
      Comin' down the years turn over
      And angels fall without you there
      And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
      All because I'm
      All because I'm
      And I'll become
      What you became to me
    • Sympathy

      Stranger than your sympathy
      And this is my apology
      I killed myself from the inside out
      And all my fears have pushed you out

      And I wished for things that I don't need
      (All I wanted)
      And what I chased won't set me free
      (All I wanted)
      And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees

      Oh, yeah
      Everything's all wrong, yeah
      Everything's all wrong, yeah
      Where the hell did I think I was?

      And stranger than your sympathy
      Take these things, so I don't feel
      I'm killing myself from the inside out
      And now my head's been filled with doubt

      We're taught to lead the life you choose
      (All I wanted)
      You know your love's run out on you
      (All I wanted)
      And you can't see when all your dreams aren't coming true

      Oh, yeah
      It's easy to forget, yeah
      When you choke on the regrets, yeah
      Who the hell did I think I was?

      And stranger than your sympathy
      And all these thoughts you stole from me
      And I'm not sure where I belong
      And no where's home and no more wrong

      And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was
      And I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted
      And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me

      Mmm, yeah
      Stranger than your sympathy
      Stranger than your sympathy
      Mmm hmmm mmm

    • Iris

       

      And I'd give up forever to touch you
      'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
      You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
      And I don't want to go home right now
       
      And all I can taste is this moment
      And all I can breathe is your life
      When sooner or later it's over
      I just don't want to miss you tonight
       
      And I don't want the world to see me
      'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
      When everything's made to be broken
      I just want you to know who I am
       
      And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
      Or the moment of truth in your lies
      When everything feels like the movies
      Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive
       
      And I don't want the world to see me
      'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
      When everything's made to be broken
      I just want you to know who I am
       
      And I don't want the world to see me
      'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
      When everything's made to be broken
      I just want you to know who I am
       
      And I don't want the world to see me
      'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
      When everything's made to be broken
      I just want you to know who I am
       
      I just want you to know who I am
      I just want you to know who I am
      I just want you to know who I am
