can you give as much as you can take
can you love as much as you can hate
the flame we share is one as you're aware
the needs we burn is the child we never had
we split our lives to find our mind again
we do divorce so our first fight's regained
together will we remain to say

together we will live, this century got so much more to give
together we will leave, giving to the world a better place to grow

feelings we keep away from decay
feelings we send each other everyday
does your silence speak the world I hear
does your reserve mean what I fear
the forever we are is the forever we murdered
stay right here, stand by me

together we will live, this century got so much more to give
together we will leave, giving to the world a better place to grow
together we will live, this century got so much more to give
together we will leave, giving to the world a better place to grow

together will we remain to say
together will we survive to see

 

[JBeukema]

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

[JBeukema]

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

[Chorus]

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know

 

[Phoenix]

Whoa. That's good.

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

[Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I need a reason to be wrong
I need a reason to believe
Compassion for the choices made has dithered
It’s time to let the senseless pass
Time to prick this psychopath
End this hang-man game of resolution

You said that it was just for now
The wait is far too long
Why can’t we bring things back
Just like they were before

As days go by … I wonder
Which thoughts collide about me
It’s time to face the consequence
Time to see this through
Terminate the silence that you’re bound to

You said that it was just for now
The wait is far too long
Why can’t we bring things back
Just like they were before

Visions … of our past

 

[JBeukema]

My memories told me
In a dream once
That you’ve spent a quiet night in our past
A past still bleeding with questions
The answers too often ignored
… my torture.

I let the stars
Witness the honesty
I am true to the lie
That I’ll never be …
I’ll take a breath
To breathe you into me
I won’t ever let it go
‘til you come back to me

I lied when you asked me what I wanted
A fateful blow to my own heart
I didn’t know
A tap on the shoulder just a shadow
Delusions far too much to bear upon you

I let the stars
Witness the honesty
I am true to the lie
That I’ll never be …
I’ll take a breath
To breathe you into me
I won’t ever let it go
‘til you come back to me
