the seasons changed and these worn chains,
have fallen away, rusted and grey.
a seed in me has broken free,
of it's dormant state, curling round my spine.
i feel it growing inside of me,
got to keep the fever down,
going to let the demon out...
tonight, we'll set the sky alight,
the fire in you, the fire in me.
I've been burning all my life,
and we need that to survive,
the fire in you, the fire in me.
the reasons change but growing pains,
are every day, eating away,
a hole in me, a broken piece,
of a fading mosaic.
forever burning inside,
got to keep the fever down,
going to let the demon out...
will you burn, will you burn with me,
start a fire, start a fire in me.
I really want to know...
satellite in the atmosphere,
burning bright, going to disappear.
you can never put it out,
I'm a loner in a crowd, on a lava sea,
will you burn with me...

empty heart

don't take it personal when I say I hate you,
when I underrate you.
yes I blame you when things go wrong,
call you weak when I know you're strong.
this empty heart,
it's just a failure inside of me,
shattered and scarred,
another crack in my armour,
my empty heart,
and I'm ashamed when I let you see,
falling apart,
the devil inside the charmer.
don't take it personal when I say I love you,
but I'm so far above you,
and I find fault when it's not there,
and I act like I just don't care.
this empty heart,
there's something broken inside of me,
shattered and scarred,
and when I look in the mirror,
my empty heart,
I'm afraid of the man I see,
falling apart,
the taker holding the giver.
don't take it personal when I just ignore you,
when I see right through you,
I'm caught up in my own despair,
god I'm so blind I can't see you're there.
this empty heart,
there's something missing inside of me,
shattered and scarred,
and in the place where my heart should be,
my empty heart,
there's an empty hole,
falling apart,
waiting for a soul.
it's nothing personal,
don't take it personal.

one with the scars, on the mountainside,
where the aeroplane crashed.
down with the wrecks under the waves and their broken sails.
too far away from the distant shore to save myself,
too many reasons to fall.
three wishes wasted, freedom only tasted,
it burnt my mouth, I spat it out and put on more chains.
four years ago when it all came down I was underground,
for...all the reasons I don't know.
five still alive, a survivor's tale, right off the rails.
fine, but I nearly lost it all.
six gun with one shell, a single shot toward hell.
the sound rang out...you drowned it out,
opened up your mouth and went crashing down,
with a scream of pain.

somewhere in time

if i could I would try to find a way,
to leave this time behind,
and return to that place, where I first found you.
so innocent so frail,
you were my holy grail,
and in your virgin kiss, I found eternal life.
at what price,
I confess...at that time,
I couldn't care less.
and I would gladly turn away,
from everything I've gained,
to spend one night with you...walk in your garden.
so innocence can fail,
you are my holy grail,
and with one perfect kiss, you gave away your life.
and the price,
I confess...right now,
how could I know, I'd have to let you go,
leave you behind,
somewhere in time.

tomorrow never comes, it's such a waste of time,
you duck and run for cover, I stand here left behind.
one moment to the next the city slides away,
we're building in the wilderness.
and now it rains inside of the walls in my house,
I feel ashamed and hide behind the walls,
inside out, in the wilderness.
and we are siamese, I just can't get away,
and when I turn around is when you turn away.
I look toward the future, you stare into the past,
but we are going nowhere.
because it rains inside of the walls in this house,
and we decay, behind broken doors,
inside out, in the wilderness.
can you feel the pain inside of the walls?
we all decay in time.
broken bones in the sand of the desert.

broken glass and splinters roll around my head,
they do it every day now, nothing I can say now,
will take away the pain.
darkness along my road, the street lights are broken,
the kids have blown them away,
for they highlight the shame,
of living in the middle of a concrete estate.
where things don't ever change,
no matter what you say,
so settle in the dust,
you know there's no escape.
when all your friends are addicts,
you really start to panic,
the peer pressure breaks you,
the circle has closed around you,
and nothing you can do will make it go away.
for things don't ever change,
no matter what you say,
so settle in the dust,
you know there's no escape.
the future's gone away,
tomorrow's like today,
just settle in the dust,
you know there's no escape.

you're wise, and deep as the ocean
and just like my eyes, you're wide open.
we see the world, it's built on lies,
and filled with people we'd like to die.
spit in their eyes and make the perfect getaway,
to our secret hideaway.
just lay low until things blow over.
each day unlike another,
we take, and we recover.
out on the street among the proles,
we laugh at them through the falling snow.
ain't got no souls...and they're breaking into our homes.
and you're never truly alone,
when you're standing in the dark.
just don't look over...your own shoulder.

don't want no favours
and I will not play your games
I'm in your arms,
but I still don't know your name.
you'll never know me,
I won't be there when you fall.
another one night stand,
another port of call.
a drifter in this world
that's all, a drifter in this world.
the change of scenery,
I get from day to day,
keeps me alive,
I was born to live this way.
the road before me,
and an open way ahead.
an unknown future,
a story with no end.
a drifter in this world
no friends, a drifter in this world.
don't want nobody to miss me when I'm gone,
no marble headstone, carved and cried upon.
burn my body and I'll drift on into space...
no I've never been afraid,
stars burn and then they fade.
no feelings and no pain,
but a phoenix in the flames.
