My Fairweather Friend Lyrics

posted by xangelx

It’s a sunny day in heaven
And no one is around
To open the gates
And I’m waiting for you
My fairweather friend
Absent in the end
Absent in the end
The one thing I can count on
Is nothing much at all
The one thing that I’m sure about
Is that you won’t be anywhere around me when I fall
I’d like to think I wouldn’t die for you, but you know I would
‘Cause that’s the fool I am
And that’s the rule you bend
Absent in the end
My fairweather friend

The one thing I can count on
Is nothing much at all
The one thing that I’m sure about
Is that you won’t be anywhere around me when I fall
I’d like...

Don’t Blame Me Lyrics

posted by xangelx

The sun goes down the same as it did before
The roses die as their petals fall to the floor
The opera was always an awful bore
So don’t blame me

Your poetry was never in vast supply
So if you’re less than inspired, I wouldn’t cry
Your broken heart is hardly the reason why
So don’t blame me

You weren’t as good at dancing as you evidently thought
You swear that you were charming once, I promise you were not
So if you’re treated badly now, I’d scarcely be surprised
You’re seen for what you really are, it’s time you realized
If you feel you’re finally going gray
You were a long time ago,...

Let It Die Lyrics

posted by xangelx

This is your mission
Should you choose to accept it
Well, I hope that you do
This is your story
Should you choose to remember
Well, I hope that it’s true

I’ve finally a reason
To let it die, let it die
You’ve given me a reason
To let it die
Let it die
Like all the words irrelevant and clean
Like all the girls before me, have you seen
Somebody walking back from Hell on their own
Well, I hope that you do
Why are we talking
As if you didn’t know
Well, they know about you

I’ve finally a reason
To let it die, let it die
You’ve given me a reason
To let it die
Let it die
Like all the words irrelevant and strange
Like some ancient Prokofieff arrangement

This is your mission
Should you choose to accept it
Well, I hope that you do
This is your army
And they’re all right behind you
Yes, they’re all right with you
Let it die
Let it die
Let it die

Juliet Lyrics

posted by xangelx

You’re in my stars you know
Don’t need no crystal ball to tell me so
Whispering in the air
Hoping that my words find you somewhere
Even when I close my eyes
I’ll never recreate the time that flies
The consequence is hanging there
The sky will fall but I don’t care

Chorus:
Meet me beneath my balcony and say
No one but you could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day
Underneath my balcony I’ll say
No one but you could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day

Your love is haunting me
And all I want is more to set me free
Whispering in the air
Hoping that my words find you somewhere
Do you hear me call your name
I know we will never be the same
The consequence is hanging there
The sky will fall but I don’t care

Chorus

In the Lake Lyrics

posted by xangelx

In the lake
You will find me
Behind your house
Behind your house
And from that lake
I will remind you
Of your promises broken
Your cruel words spoken
My ocean is bluer than the heart you had to break
My sea is deeper than your lake
My sea is deeper than your lake

Take those steps down
Come to the waterside
Drown and hide
How many bodies are buried beneath those rocks
I told you there was one
And now you know whose it is
Mine mine mine

In the lake
You will find me
Behind your house
Behind your house
And from that lake
I will remind you
Of your promises broken
Your cruel words spoken
My ocean is bluer than the heart you...

I Want My Innocence Back Lyrics

posted by xangelx

I want my innocence back
And if you can’t give it to me
I will cut you down
And I will run you through
With the dagger you sharpened
On my body and soul
Before you slit me in two
And then devoured me whole

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back

I want my innocence back
And if you can’t pacify me
I will break your bones
You think I’m bluffing, just try me
I will never forget
The words you used to ensnare me
Till my dying day
You’ll suffer for this, I swear (I swear)

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back

And I demand
You put my heart back in my hand
And wipe it clean
From the mess you made of me
And I require
You make me free from this desire
And when you leave, I’d better be the innocent
I used to be

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back

I Know Where You Sleep Lyrics

posted by xangelx

I know
The sickening thoughts that slither around your head
I know
The gluttonous guilt that buried me in your bed
Manipulate me if you can
Go on and fool me like your biggest fan

I know
The arrogant pride that poisons the truth you hear
I know
The bigoted tongue that tears away all your fear
Pontificate you faded star
Go on and show me who you really are

You can lie to the papers
You can hide from the press
You can fake it on stage
You can crawl from your cage
You can search and destroy
You can kill and depend on it
I know your tainted flesh
I know your filthy soul
I know each trick you played
Whore you laid

Gentlemen Aren’t Nice Lyrics

posted by xangelx

Once upon a time I thought
“What’s the one thing I haven’t got?”
There’s not a single thing in this world I couldn’t buy
That’s when a gentleman caught my eye

Once or twice we went around
But now I’ll tell you the thing I’ve found
You shouldn’t make your move until you know the price
Because gentlemen aren’t nice

Just because I won’t agree to take his arm
And I occasionally forget his name
He likes to call inclemency what I call charm
But I know they’re all the same

I think I’ve realized my first mistake
When he cried that his heart would break
I would have thought that I was...

Faces Like Mine Lyrics

posted by xangelx

You say you’re curious
Can’t leave a thing to your imagination
I wish you’d close your eyes
But oh you seem so serious
I should enjoy the sweet interrogation
You start to hypnotize me
I should know by telling you
I’m flattered by your interest
Who am I talking to?
Could be the demon with a mask
Why should I trust in you?
I don’t feel safe
I never did
But what else can I do
But what you ask?

Chorus:
Think of your darkest night
Think of your soul alone
If you can bear the sight
Think of the love you’ll never know
Yes, it’s unusual
To live your life this way
All I can say
Maybe that’s why you don’t...

What If Lyrics

posted by xangelx

Here you sit in your high-backed chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn’t know ’cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
If you like we could play a game
Let’s pretend that we are the same
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you do
And I’m far too tired to stay here anymore
And I don’t care what you think anyway
‘Cause I think you were wrong about me
Yeah what if you were, what if you were
And what if I’m a snowstorm burning
What if I’m a world unturning
What if I’m an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I’m the kindest demon...

Dead is the New Alive Lyrics

posted by xangelx

Dead is the new alive
Despair’s the new survival
A pointless point of view
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You never win

Dead is the new alive
Life’s only living rival
A casket built for two
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You never win

So take me now or take me never
I won’t wait
You’re already late
So say goodbye or say forever
Choose your fate
How else can we survive?
Dead is the new alive

Dead is the new alive
A gothic play revival
The last act of the show
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You never win

So take me now or take me never
I won’t...

4 o’Clock Lyrics

posted by xangelx

4 o’Clock
4 o’Clock
Never let me sleep
I close my eyes and pray
For the garish light of day
Like a frightened child I run
From the sleep that never comes

4 o’Clock
4 o’Clock
Out of bed I creep
To climb this tower of shame
But the hour’s still the same
Only madness knows my name
At 4 o’Clock

4 o’Clock
4 o’Clock
Never let me sleep
I close my eyes and pray
For the garish light of day
Like a frightened child I run
From the sleep that never comes

4 o’Clock
4 o’Clock
Out of bed I creep
To climb this tower of shame
But the hour’s still the same
Only madness knows my name
At 4 o’Clock

Why can we never...

306 Lyrics

posted by xangelx

Three hundred and six
In only six years
If it was an accident
Where are the tears
I am still unidentified
Behind the cathedral
Is where my body hides
But I’m not inside
Just one of sixteen
In only one day
If it was a game
Then why couldn’t I play
I am the abandoner
But still I remain
And my frozen pulse quickens
As the black plot thickens

Like this story I heard
A lifetime ago
Where a girl
(And this is funny)
Took her life
But what she doesn’t know
Is how long it takes
For the water to rise
And the breath to stop fighting
And the cold to close her eyes

Morality plays
On stages of sin
The easy way out
Or the easy...

Liar Lyrics

posted by xangelx

I want to hold you to the sun
I want to be your faithful one
I want to show you all the beauty
You don’t even know you hold
I’m hurting you for your own good
I’d die for you – you know I would
I’d give up all my wealth
To buy you back the soul you never sold
I want to mix our blood
And put it in the ground
So you can never leave
I want to earn your trust
Your faith your heart
You’ll never be deceived

Liar Liar Liar Liar

I want to heal you pretty sweet
I’ll throw rose petals at your feet
I’ll spend eternity
Comparing all my poetry to yours
I want to see love through your eyes
You’ll never have...

Hollow Like My Soul Lyrics

posted by xangelx

Hollow like my soul

You think that you’ll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you’ll survive
Just don’t try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

You think that you’ll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you’ll survive
Just don’t try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

Just as I was walking by
My soul died
My heart cried
When you think that you’ll survive
Just don’t try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

So many times I ask myself
So many times I wonder why
So many times I ask myself
So many times I wonder why

You think that you’ll get by
You will die
You will die
When you think that you’ll survive
Just don’t try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul
My eyes are hollow like my soul

Hollow like my soul

You think that you’ll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you’ll survive
Just don’t try
Run and hide
Run and hide
Run and hide

God Help Me Lyrics

posted by xangelx

God help me
I don’t see
How I can live this way
Any I don’t know why he’s
Touching me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me

God help me
Believe me
This wasn’t what I wanted, but no
I can’t leave
He’s got me
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me

Am I guilty or am I just waiting around
For the tide to come in
So the truth can come out
And if I had a dollar for every time
I repented the sin
And commit the same crime
I’d be sitting on top of the world today
I’d be sitting on top of the world...

Be Silent, Be Still Lyrics

posted by xangelx

Be silent, be still
Don’t make me chase you
I’ll warn you, I will
Just to embrace you
I’ll get my fill
So be silent, be still

Be hopeful, be brave
I only want you more
When you misbehave
I know I’ve said that before
It’s your touch I crave
So be silent, be still

You, I adore
Must you ignore
It doesn’t matter what you say anymore
This is our night
Why must we fight?
Don’t close the door

Be careful, my dear
If you’re not nice
I’ll give you reason to fear
But I’ll think twice
Don’t pretend you don’t hear
Just be silent, be still

You, I adore
Must you ignore
It doesn’t matter what you say anymore
This is our night
Why must we fight?
Don’t close the door

Now listen to me
I’d rather tie you up
Than let you go free
You must be kind, my dear
I think you’ll agree
These are the words you’ve sung to me
So there’s no hope you see
For still inside I will never be
