1. Tragedy
I know you can’t feel it
But somewhere, someone
Needs you like crazy
Looking at the same stars
I wish you could be here
Don’t know your face
Don’t know your name
But I know pain
Don't say that you'll never be enough
All you've got to learn is how to love
And you know when that love is going to come
It's always going to be too much
Don't say that you'll always be alone
Sometimes our lovers are unknown
And they'll see if your soul is broken down
So open your arms and let your love be found
In the land of the loveless
We grew like weeds, unwanted
Ill fit for the pictures
We hid our dreams,
As we dreamed to hide
I wish you could be here
Don’t know your face
Don’t know your name
But I know pain
Don't say that you'll never be enough
All you've got to learn is how to love
And you know when that love is going to come
It's always going to be too much
Don't say that you'll always be alone
Sometimes our lovers are unknown
And they'll see if your soul is broken down
So open your arms and let your love be found
But someday, you will find
I was always on your mind
Walking past, turning away
But the moments never stay
So hear me
As I call you
If these words ever come through
Will you meet me halfway?
Don't say that you'll never be enough
All you've got to learn is how to love
And you know when that love is going to come
It's always going to be too much..
Don't say that you'll never be enough
All you've got to learn is how to love
And you know when that love is going to come
It's always going to be too much
Don't say that you'll always be alone
Sometimes our lovers are unknown
And they'll see if your soul is broken down
So open your arms and let your love be found
2. Of a World That Once Was
Lingering in the distance
Is that the light at the end,
Or just the world burning again?
Defunct and tongue-tied
Life in mass-hypnosis
Are we dead or just dying?
Lost inside the hours
With all colors turning grey
Oh but It's hard to feel the love
With all your loved ones turned away
Oh so gather all the lonely
Yeah the broken and the lost
And we'll sing around the fire
Of a world that once was
Hear the wind in the distance
Is that the voice of the ones
Who came before us?
Learn the meaning
Of what it is to forgive
Before we turn loveless
Lost inside the promise
Of love that won’t decay
Oh but when all your dreams are leaving
It gets hard to see the way
Oh so gather all the lonely
Yeah the broken and the lost
And dance warm around the fire
Of a world that once was
Around the ruins of good intentions
Past the love-locks of the young,
Faded memories of childhood
You know where it all begun
Past the cardboard-homes soaking
Oh, With feet trembling cold
Around the grey and the obedient
Who will do as they are told
Hear the sirens as they’re howling
There is a heart under attack
Someone reaching for the unknown
To return into the black
Someone falling, into love now
Others entering this world
Someone idling with nothing
Or just waiting for their turn
Tonight we'll gather all the lonely
Broken hearted and the lost
And We'll sing around the fire
Of a world that once was
3. Nightmare Queen
Put your hands
Up like this
Tonight we're righteously
Outrageously
Oblivious
Come and join us
Where the beat
Meets the dancing lights
Down the street
But beware (beware), she bites (she bites)
Oh my nightmare queen
Let go(let go), of the lights (in the dark)
Fear is what they feed
So brave (close your eyes) with the beat (feel the sweat)
As our souls interface
Take this (let go) cold kiss (my love)
Let's never leave this place
If you're just
A little lost
Here we are
Kids of the night
You can find us
Where the beat
Meets the neon lines
Down the street
But beware (beware), she bites (she bites)
Oh my nightmare queen
Let go (let go), of the lights (in the dark)
Fear is what they feed
So brave (close your eyes) with the beat (feel the sweat)
As our souls interface
Take this (let go) cold kiss (my love)
Let's never leave this place
Put your hands
Up like this
Tonight we're righteously
Outrageously
Oblivious
Come and join us
Where the beat
Meets the dancing lights
Down the street
4. Come Raw and Glass-Hearted
When you're tired and you're old
will you still come?
If it's dark and it's cold,
And the dream is gone?
there’s still trouble that may find us
there’s dangerous days ahead
the dreams that we have dreamed of
and nightmares we have shared
have taught us to be patient
have taught us to be kind
if home is where your heart is
I promise you will find love
There was much to be said,
now there's less to be known
While the sun is down
And the reasons flown
there’s still pain that could be useful
there’s still love that could be true
take my hand and listen quietly
we'll let the rain pass through
remember to be gentle
remember to be kind
come raw and glass-hearted
i promise you will find love
there’s still quiet Sunday mornings
and nights under the stars
kisses by the streetlight
becoming who we are
I promise to be faithful
you remember to be mine
past the bridges of the lonely
I know that we will find love
5. The Puzzle
Mirrors love
The painted smile
A new me
A new lie
Hidden treasure
So hard to find
I'll let you out
Some other time
so let’s get high
on heels
on pills
on wine
and life
We've got all night to figure out
the puzzle
of how we kiss
of how we touch
if all of you
is just too much
We've got all night to figure out
Reach into me
The lines blur
Could you be
Like her
Smoke and mirrors
The fading shine
I'll let you out
Another time
so let’s get high
on heels
on pills
on wine
and life
We've got all night to figure out
the puzzle
of how we kiss
of how we touch
if all of you
is just too much
We've got all night to figure out
if life,
Is only going to make us dead inside?
And if all
These adoring lights will leave us blind?
To the love
Your friends have seen but you can never find?
so let’s get high
on heels
on pills
on wine
and life
We've got all night to figure out
the puzzle
of how we kiss
of how we touch
if all of you
is just too much
We've got all night to figure out
6. Satellites
Not all dreams will turn to nightmares
Not all love will turn to dust
Not all mornings reveal the sunrise
But you know it’s there, you must!
Not all lovers are for lifetime
Some are just to ease the pain
Help the light a little closer
Until the darkness comes again
Not all winds carry the voices
That you dream are calling you
Not all beginnings beautiful
Stay pretty when they're trough
Not all the lights in the dark
Are there to say hello
Some are beacons for the wicked
Some just glow
But you are my
You are my satellite
You are mine
Not all smiles go unnoticed
Not all kisses are the same
Some keep drowning in their sorrows
others dance away the pain
Cause not all days become tomorrows
Or wishes become words
This is the tragedy of chaos
We never learn
But you are my
You are my satellite
You are mine
Devoid of sleep, we the dreamers
Alone together here
Make home in this solitude
Until we disappear
You and I
Disappear
Like satellites
Disappear
You and I
7. If Only Ever
I hope these words find you well
I am done with the dream
With the nightmare and the spell
You left on me
I hope you find what you went for
Let kindness open the doors
If only ever love could stay true
All this I wish for you
Maybe they'll love you
Like a mother loves a child
Maybe they'll find you
Like the lonely find the night
But what if they hate you
Like you're the one to blame
Would you still
Do it again?
Do you think of me
When the fireflies play?
If I am in the night sky?
If I am in the coming day?
I've missed you since the morning
Silence filled your place
If only ever love will save me
You do as your heart says
Maybe they'll love you
Like a mother loves a child
Maybe they'll find you
Like the lonely find the night
But what if they hate you
Like you're the one to blame
Would you still
Do it again?
8. Anywhere But Here
Anywhere but here will do just fine
You can’t learn to fly with your hands tied
Anywhere but here, I'm free to breathe again
I'll l be there baby, just say when
You deny, you ever knew me
but You can’t really hide me
All the wishes of younger you
They live inside me
I could fill the fevered dream
So loved but lonely
You know that is not me
Anywhere but here will do just fine
You can’t learn to fly with your hands tied
Anywhere but here, I'm free to breathe again
I'll l be there baby, just say when
Today, long forgotten friend
I heard you're nearing
The apology, the end
Regret me leaving
I could have been your fevered dream
So soft and only
You know that is not me
Anywhere but here will do just fine
You can’t learn to fly with your hands tied
Anywhere but here, I'm free to breathe again
I'll l be there baby, just say when
Anywhere but here will do just fine
You can’t learn to fly with your hands tied
Anywhere but here, I'm free to be
You do, but you don’t know, how to love me
9. Strange Kind of Hunger
With arms wide open
Here I am
Returning broken
Dreams and plans
Strange kind of hunger
Sulphur burns
Kiss of thunder
Tastes absurd
All of the world around me
But it seems you're not around
I cry for the heavens
Let her down
Wait for the sunset
Beneath our tree
Swaying to my lover
Gracefully
All dreams are ending
And the pain is real
Yet I feel nothing
I am free
All of the world around me
But it seems you're not around
I cry for the heavens
Let her down
10. Dance Like Lovers
It’s not a choice we make
Falling down like this
But all the love needs to be paid
Its not a choice we make
Is it just fate that brought us here?
Two hearts beating in symmetry
Where love is lost and love is won
Was it just fate all along?
Tonight we dance like lovers
Kiss in the moonlight
Like they do in the movies
Where they die at the same time
There's only one who can drive me down
Only you can make me feel alone
Just say a word and I’ll turn around
Tonight we dance like lovers
Kiss in the moonlight
Like they do in the movies
Where they die at the same time
Tonight we'll dance like lovers
Kiss in the moonlight
Like they do in the movies
Where they die at the same time
Tonight we dance like lovers
Kiss in the moonlight
Like they do in the movies
Where they die at the same time
It's not a choice we make.
11. I Won’t Let Go
I see you walk to me
And nothing's ever felt
This right
Let the world do it's
Thing out there
It's just us
Tonight
I hope this love is strong enough
Cause I'm going to need it from here to forever
And I don't mind if the sky would fall on us
Cause I am already in heaven
I promise I’ll be there
When yesterdays
Fade away
And if the world ever wants
To hurt you
I will stand in the way
I hope this love is strong enough
Cause I'm going to need it from here to forever
And I don't mind if the sky would fall on us
Cause I am already in heaven
I hope this love is strong enough
Cause I'm going to need it from here to forever
And I don't mind if the sky would fall on us
Cause I am already in heaven
In time, they say
Every single one of us will lose our way
And walk into the dark like there is no one there
But you will never ever be alone, my love
I promise I will find
What ever broke your heart and
I will find what killed your soul
And I won't let go

But you will never ever be alone, my love

What ever broke your heart and
I will find what killed your soul
And I won't let go
