Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realized that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with...

Are you hurting the one you love?
You say you've found Heaven but you can't find God.
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.

Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.

Tough,
It's just too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.

Are you hurting the one you love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And was it something you could not stop.

Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.

Are you hurting the one you love?
When you leave them sleeping on the hollow ground.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And lost for themselves.

Are you hurting the one you love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You said you got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.

[Verse 1]

Holy water cannot help me now,
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out,
I don't want your money,
I don't want your crowd,
See I have to tell you,
You're a ...
Holy water cannot help you now,
See I've had to burn your kingdom down,
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out,
I'm gonna raise the stakes,
I'm gonna smoke you out.

[Chorus]

Seven devils all around you,
Seven devils in my house,
See they were there when I woke up this morning,
I'll be dead before the day is done,
Seven devils all around you,
Seven devils in your house,
See I was dead when I woke up this morning,
I'll be dead before the...

[Verse 1]

I've been loosing sleep,
I've been keeping myself awake,
I've been wondering the streets: for days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
And I believe I believe.

[Chorus]

There's no salvation for me now,
No space amongst the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.

[Verse 2]

And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets from my heart and from my soul,
Going from road to road,
Bed do bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
But I believe I believe.

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lov-er-er-er.

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 4]

You got a road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover, (X8)
No salvation for me now, (X4)
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Your songs remind me of swimming,
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore,
And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
A stern and stubborn rock
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk
I was sinking, now I'm sunk,
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk

I tried to remember the chorus,
I can't remember the verse
Cos that song that sent me swimming,
Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
Sinking like a siren that can't swim no more
Your songs remind me of...

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say it's a blessing,...

You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees nothing
Your slap don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same
Love sticks
Sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit

A kick to the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better then none

A kiss with a fist is better then none

I broke your jaw once before
I spilled your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return...

I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced a crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall

I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait,
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand,
Protecting both your heart and mine?
Who is the betrayer
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't...

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
that throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells...

[Verse 1]

Well I can't help but frown underneath,
This fractured moonlight on the sea,
Reflections still look the same to me,
That's before I went under,
And it's peaceful in the deep cause this is where you cannot breathe,
No need to pray no need to speak: now I am under,
And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles down to the see bay,
Found a place to rest my head,
(Never let me go, never let me go-o)
(Never let me go, never let me go-o)

[Chorus]

In the arms of the ocean help carry me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
The crushes are Heaven for a sinner like me,
Let the arms of the ocean deliver...

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna be released from behind these lights,
I don't care whether I leave or die,
And I'm loosing blood,
I'm gonna leave my bones,
And I don't want your heart,
It leaves me cold,
I don't want your future I don't need you past,
One brand moment is all I ask.

[Chorus]

I'm gonna leave my body,
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna loose my mind,
(The mystery keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm gonna leave my body,
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind,
(The mystery keeps pulling me, and pulling me down)

[Verse 2]

I don't need a husband I don't need no wife,
And I don't need the dead or need...
