GHOST ON THE DANCE FLOOR
I'll never let you down boy, I'll never let you go.Her subtle hint of life is so innocent and scary.So tell me that you're here boy, she says as if she knows.When God took her with time, God made me quite alone.
It's like the universe has left me, without a place to go. Without a hint of light, to watch the movement glow. Where the song was slowly starting, the memory felt so real.At first against my will, but God invented chills.

NATIVES
I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
You turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Upon the side of a field I see a city with lights
I touch her face and I kneel, she tells me she's not alive
I am too nervous to run, like kids who scatter and hide
To reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
A world is waiting for me, a road that I rarely use
I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
You turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
You turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
UP ALL NIGHT
[Verse 1:]
Everyone wants to call it, all around our life with a better name.
Everyone falls and spins and it's up again with a friend who does the same.
Everyone lies and cheats their wants and needs and still believes their heart.
And everyone gets the chills, the kind that kills, when the pain begins to start.
[Chorus:]
Did I get this straight?
Do you want me here
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x2]
[Verse 2:]
Everyone's cross to bears the crown they wear on endless holiday.
Everyone raises kids in a world that changes life to a bitter game.
Everyone works and fights, stays up all night to celebrate the day.
And everyone lives to tell the tale of how we die alone some day.
[Chorus:]
Did I get this straight?
Do you want me here
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x3]
They keep me up all...
AFTER MIDNIGHT
I can't get my feet up off the edge
I kind of like the little rush you get
When you're standing close to death
Like when you're driving me crazy
Hold on as we crash into the earth
A bit of pain will help you suffer when you're hurt, for real
'Cause you were driving me crazy
Bite your lips, your words a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kind of think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know I'm here to stay?
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
I can't keep your voice out of my head
All I hear are the many echoes of
The darkest words you said
And it's driving me crazy
I can't find the best in all of this
But I'm always looking out for you
'Cause you're the one I miss
And it's driving me crazy
Bite your lips, your words a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kind of think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know I'm here to stay?
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on [x4]
SNAKE CHARMER
I felt a stutter and a waiver
Cutting like a razor
Like fire through the snow
Then straight down to the bone
She creeps up like a spider
And wants you deep inside her
She turns you into stone
A twisted little show
That's how it was to all begin
'Cause good girls they like to sin
Way back at the starting line
When Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go
In search of the great unknown
And falling yet again
'Cause good girls they like to sin
You are a hero and survivor
Your eyes are getting tired
There's claw marks up your spine
It happens all the time
Those silent evil daughters
Like sirens on the water
You bend the perfect crime
It happens all the time
That's how it was to all begin
Cause good girls they like to sin
Way back at the starting line
When Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go
In search of the great unknown
And falling yet again
'Cause good girls they like to sin
Good girls they like to sin
Falling yet again
Good girls they like to sin
Good girls they like to sin
That's how it was to all begin
Cause good girls they like to sin
Way back at the starting line
When Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go
In search of the great unknown
And falling yet again
'Cause good girls they like to sin
HEART'S ALL GONE
Take off the gloves.
We fell in love by the side of the road,
This desert will break you down.
The veins you cut,
Your smoking tongue is the end of us all,
But you only care about fame and fortune.
Watching others tortured.
Casting your reflection.
Grocery store perfection.
This is the last time.
Sent to the front line with dirty boots on the ground,
You said "I'll make this all mine."
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong.
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone.
Yeah your heart's all gone!
Blackjack and architect.
Let's drink ourselves to death.
The crimes of everyone.
Passed down from father to son.
Hopeless and destitute.
Destroyed my gratitude.
Your strongest lines of defense are all just self-inflicted wounds.
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong.
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone.
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong.
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone.
Yeah your heart's all gone!
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong.
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone.
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong.
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone.
Yeah your heart's all gone!
WISHING WELL
Been gone a long time
I kinda lost my way, I can't find it
And I caught a short ride
To the grave and back this season
I can try to get by
But every time I start to panic
I'm a little bit shy
A bit strange and a little bit manic
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
[x2]
I went to a wishing well, but sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharpened rocks, and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made it's way through my heart, had fun in the promise land
On the narrowing line, what a way to sort my troubles
In a very short time, gonna pop, better duck and cover
Can you figure me out? I got caught like a little kid stealing
Did I say it too loud? A bit hard or a little misleading
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
[x2]
I went to a wishing well, but sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharpened rocks and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made it's way through my heart, had fun in the promise land
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
[x2]
I went to a wishing well, but sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharpened rocks and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made it's way through my heart, had fun in the promise land
I went to a wishing well, but sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharpened rocks and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made it's way through my heart, had fun in the promise land
KALEIDOSCOPE
Stop banging away on my kaleidoscope
Stop draining the color out of my scene
Just play me something I can dance to
I can dance to anything You wanna sing
So lock me up in a studio
Fill it up with sound and scenarios
Stop blocking the driveway with your car
Put the butterfly in the bell jar
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road...
Hear a stranger's voice in the front yard
Let the hours tick past the deadline
Get another stamp in your passport
Wash your breakfast down with some red wine
Delete the progress on your game
Try to fall asleep while your ears ring
From the loudest songs on your mix tape
I can dance to anything you want to sing
No reason, no action, no silence, no help here
Nobody came running up by my side
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road to get it right
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road to get it right
THIS IS HOME
We work and slave the day away
Were raised in perfect families
We fuck and fight like vagabonds
We dance like fucking animals
Don't stop, the band is coming on
Rude boys and punks will shout along
Police cars bring cuffs and loaded guns
Kids scream but laughing as they run
I hope
Do you wanna let go?
'Cause this is home
Gunshots, the punks are rioting
The stage is slowly crumbling
Smash boards and try to stay alive
A few drinks and a lot of broken lights
Go hide and call the cavalry
Let's dance in perfect harmony
Get close, the crowd will come apart
That girl will try to make you hard
I hope
Do you wanna let go?
Do you wanna this time?
I hope you wanna let go
'Cause this is home
I hope
Do you wanna let go?
Do you wanna this time?
I hope you wanna let go
'Cause this is home
MH 4.18.2011
Coming in, coming in, kill the radio silence
Break down in L.A.
Giving up, giving in to a feeling of violence
There's hell to pay
So let's light another match, stop living in the past
Where nobody can hear me now
Blow the lock off the cage, watch the children come of age
When their parents stop to take a bow
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Maybe there's no one there at all
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down, stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
Line 'em up on the wall, coming out with their hands up
Give 'em all the chair
Let it burn, let it fall, let the end of the world come
Who's left to care?
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Nothing takes root, but we bend and toil
Maybe there's no one there at all
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down, stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down, stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
Stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
LOVE IS DANGEROUS
I've had it with this damn double vision
My hand swollen, I can't keep holding on
My heart's sinking, and stuck in deadly rhythm
I can't fake it, I can't, can't brush it off
Love
Love is dangerous
Love
Love is so dangerous
I'm back at it, I just don't seem to listen
I see your lips, I just can't hear the sound
It's all static, Just like my television
Her skills sharpened, Her eyes cut through the clouds
(I need)
Love
Love is dangerous
(Hard times don't be fooled when she says it's)
Love
Love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we care about)
Love (we care about)
Love is so dangerous
(Life's cruel, so we all pretend to fuck)
Love
Love is dangerous
(I need)
Love
Love is dangerous
(Hard times don't be fooled when she says it's)
Love
Love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we care about)
Love (we care about)
Love is so dangerous
(Love's cruel, so we all pretend to fuck)
Love
Love is dangerous
FIGHTING THE GRAVITY
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This air is too thick to breathe
So just drive
These eyes are too sick to see
Don't leave me behind
Something's swimming in my blood
Something's rotting in my brain
When I'm smothered from the flood
I can't recognize your face
I need to leave
So just drive
Burning lights on the street
I'm fight-fighting the gravity
When I'm beat and defeated
They'll take you away from
Take-take you away from me
Dead and lost in a dream
Yes, this is the last of me
This-this is the last of me
I'm always fighting the gravity
Tonight is too much for me
To get clean
Tomorrow's just a darkened hall
To an empty room
When I'm far away from you
Burning lights on the street
I'm fight-fighting the gravity
When I'm beat and defeated
They'll take you away from me
Take-take you away from me
Dead and lost in a dream
Yes, this is the last of me
This-this is the last of me
I'm always fighting the gravity
I'm always fighting the gravity
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
This makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no sense this makes no
EVEN IF SHE FALLS
And she was like a starry night
Like a Ferris wheel, full of blue-green eyes
And a heart of steel, always on her own
Almost never real
When the night will begin
The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love
And she was, like a blade of ice
Like a lonely road, clearest day alive
Always sharp and cold, always beautiful
I am such a fool
When the night will begin
The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love
Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right, even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad, even if she falls in love
When the night will begin
The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love
Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right, even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad, even if she falls in love
