Heaven

I have to fend for myself
It’s such a struggle, like no else
The design is so cruel
Life takes life, that’s the rule
But we won’t stand for it
We want heaven, a state of bliss
No we won’t accept the past
We want heaven and nothing less
I want to end suffering
No more trials, no more pain
The final wish of an age
To kill the will to be great
But we won’t stand for it
We want heaven, a state of bliss
No we won’t accept our past
We want heaven and nothing less
How we ache over sorrows
Entertain fantasies
It’s a wish, so misguided
‘Cause we’re not who we think
We won’t stand for it
We want heaven, a state of bliss
No we won’t accept our past
We want heaven and nothing less

Ask
03:26
|

|
There’s so much in this world
That’s artifice, oh shams and lies
To separate them out, it’s like it takes
A whole lifetime
Ask me if my love is true
Then ask me if I tell the truth
You know I do!
Is there anyone out there
Who doesn’t have something to hide?
The vampires always seem to find a way
To suck you dry
Ask me if my love is true
Then ask me if I tell the truth
You know I do!
Isn’t there anyone like you?
Isn’t there anything that’s true?
Isn’t there any love… for you?
Ask me if my love is true
Then ask me if I tell the truth
You know I do!

Kiss
02:21
|
|||
|
The others crowd around
Their toxins oozing out
A rose within the weeds
A silence from the screams
Who comes across
Something so pure?
And with a kiss, my love
I’m yours
Oh, purge these memories
They’re nothing but disease
A wish to form anew
A love made out of you
Who comes across
Something so pure?
And with a kiss, my love
I’m yours

Wait
03:42
|

|
The last we spoke
I shared with you
My heart’s desire to see it through
Us ‘till the end
I had to leave
I had to dream
There’s still so much in the world to see
Please don’t be sad
What goes up
Must come down
And the love you give
Will come back around, back around
So say you will
Wait for me
Say you will
Wait for me
I’ll come around
Eventually
Say you will
Wait for me
Say you will
Wait for me
I’ll come around
Eventually
I wouldn't ask
If I didn’t believe
In a future with both you and me
Trust me my girl
What goes up
Must come down
And the love you give
Will come back around, back around
So say you will
Wait for me
Say you will
Wait for me
I’ll come around
Eventually
Say you will
Wait for me
Say you will
Wait for me
I’ll come around
Eventually

Dream
03:01
|
|||
|
Why must I wake?
Everyday is more than I can take
Time to drift away
I found I prefer another place
Is it over?
Wake me when it’s over
I’d rather just sleep
Is it over?
Wake me when it’s over
I’d rather just dream
The noise of machines
I can’t turn it off for anything
My body’s been drained
Wires crossed, my brain is on the fray
Is it over?
Wake me when it’s over
I’d rather just sleep
Is it over?
Wake me when it’s over
I’d rather just dream

Stay
05:20
|

|
You were so in love
Floating up above
And when you came down
There was no one left around
You were so innocent
I was much the same
Sold to an underworld
Forced to become profane
Before you go
May I ask you to stay?
I know your sorrows
And I know your pain
Troubles find a way
To find you everyday
And what’d you ever do
To make the world so cruel to you
You were so innocent
I was much to blame
Caught in an underworld
A choice to become profane
Before you go
May I ask you to stay?
‘Cause I know your sorrows
And I know your pain
So before you go
May I ask you to stay?
‘Cause I hold your secrets
And I feel your pain

Always
03:01
|

Strangers we weren’t meant to be
By virtue of our frequencies
You’ve been coming around for days
And I haven’t been quite the same
We always tell you
To take care of you
Our Leo, your light shines through
Home is not where you should be
It’s not right the way they treat
I’m happy to be your escape
Even if that’s all I make
We always tell you
To take care of you
Our Leo, your love shines through
We always tell you
To take care of you
Our Leo, your light shines through
We always tell you
To take care of you
Our Leo, your love shines through

Sister
03:35

Was it so hard to be around me?
Sister, sister
Cringing at the thought of your sibling
Sister, sister
The hair you once cut off
Has grown out long
A symbol, of acceptance
Of what you felt all along
Spit it out, sister
Say what you got to say
Your little brother is a fuck up
And he’ll always be that way
Because he’s always been that way
And he’ll always be that way
Because he’s always been
Did you really need to ridicule?
Sister, sister
Songs were what I poured my heart into
Sister, sister
The hair you once cut off
Has grown out long
A symbol, of defiance
No, I won’t go along
Spit it out, sister
Say what you have to say
Your little brother, he's a fuck up
And he’ll always be that way
Spit it out, sister
Say what you got to say
Your little brother is a fuck up
And he’ll always be that way
Because he’s always been that way
And he’ll always be that way
Because he’s always been that way
And he’ll always be that way

Follow your sister
To emeralds and blues
No one who’s up there
Could tell you the truth
So brother was wrong
And sister was right
Now brother is gone
Lost in the night
Your kind is so scarce
A bright energy
A presence once so warm
It still haunts me
So brother was wrong
And sister was right
Now brother is gone
Lost in the night
So scatter me
Across the sea
I will finally be free
So scatter me
Across the sea
I will finally be free

Everything

Remember how you were so caught up?
Though he was so far from perfect
Love is blind and it’s foolish
You only saw what you wanted
I so miss those days
When you used to say
‘You know you are
My everything’
You kissed a frog cause you thought it
Would turn into someone you imagined
Well, make-believe has its merits
But that change is never coming
I so miss those days
When you used to say
‘You know you are
My everything’
