Things That Burn

According to the manual it’s time for you to know
The things that burn inside you, you’re wrong, they’ll never go
Muffle it with sedatives and drown it in red wine
Restrain it if you can with tape, some rope or twine
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
It burns through every fibre, every word and every moan
Until you are left all used up, frightened and alone
An icy touch upon your arm, it came out of the dark
The things that burn inside you attempt to make their mark
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
When everyone has gone away, you think there’s no one there
It’s then you feel the presence, hear a voice, feel its stare
Your eyes attempt to adjust to the darkness that surrounds
You see a child lying in a heap upon the ground
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
As your pupils dilate you see the child is you
She's been beaten so severely, bleeding, battered, bruised and blue
Her eyes can barely open, as she begins to speak
“Please help!” she utters from her lips, she’s fading, she’s so weak
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn
Things that burn

Deadly Nightshade

Your lips are poison
But I can not help myself
I'm trapped in your darkness
But I've trapped myself
Intoxication
I bathe in your light
My sweet corruption
Poisoned apple I must bite
There's deadly nightshade
Growing in your throat
I hear it with your ugly words
See it written in your note
Intoxication
I bathe in your light
My sweet corruption
Poisoned apple I must bite
A beautiful flower
With deadly poisoned thorns
I'm drowning in your black magic
Dead man lay here I've been warned
Intoxication
I bathe in your light
My sweet corruption
Poisoned apple I must bite
Intoxication
I bathe in your light
My sweet corruption
Poisoned apple I must bite

My body my soul,
Is all I got left now he’s gone and killed my heart
You’re holding his hand,
Broke his promise to be true now I’m warning you
Heart for sale, going cheap, it’s all used up by that creep,
Heart for sale
Heart for sale
The Devil wanted my soul, but instead he stole my heart
He’s holding my heart,
Dead and cold in his hands, now I’m warning you
Heart for sale, going cheap, it’s all used up, he’s yours to keep,
Heart for sale
Heart for sale
My body my soul,
Is all I got left now he’s gone and killed my heart
You’re holding his hand,
Broke his promise to be true now I’m warning you
Heart for sale, going cheap, it’s all used up, he’s yours to keep,
Heart for sale
Heart for sale

Happy

Life’s a roller coaster, full of ups and downs
Just when you think it’s wonderful, it will smack you down
Why can’t we be happy, for more than the shortest time?
Why can’t we ever be… just happy?
When you fall in love, you never think that it will fade
But everything that goes up, will come down another day
Why can’t we be happy, for more than the shortest time?
Why can’t we ever be… just happy?
Life is like a mad dog, that has got you by the throat
If you let it drag you down, you don’t have a hope.
Why can’t we be happy, for more than the shortest time?
Why can’t we ever be… just happy?

Tiny Sparrow

Evil little children with eyes as red as fire,
Dance around in circles making fun of your demise,
Hanging from the oak so high you swing both to and fro,
And tiny little devils spawn stand all in a row
Dangling from heights so great you see them gather round,
Jealous of their feet planted firmly on the ground,
You try to scream "please let me down!", you push with all your might,
But this is not one you'll win you'll have to lose this fight
Open your mouth expand your chest but nothing can get through,
The rope is getting tighter, you know not what to do,
You see black crows up above ,they circle around your fate,
No longer can you deny it with them you have a date
They watch for your last breath to take you from this dream
Then they'll feast upon you corpse until your bones are clean,
The crow’s beady black eyes watch keenly as you try,
To figure out a way to escape rather than die*
You close your eyes and picture that you're shrinking as they see,
The rope is getting looser and you struggle to get free,
First your hands slip through and you grab on to the rope,
No longer tight around your throat finally there’s hope*
Still shrinking right before their eyes you scream to them aloud,
"I can turn in to a bird and fly right out of town!"
They watch in sheer disbelief as you jumped into the air,
You turned in to a sparrow and flew right out of there
Smiling slightly,as you died , a tear roll down your face,
Your final thought of peace, no pain, it was replaced

Fun

You lied to me and went behind my back
Life’s a bitch, I’m ok with that
Don’t bother me, don’t call, don’t pretend
This bridge is burned, it’s over, it’s the end
You want me back,
But I ain't that dumb,
I'm cold as ice
But hey I'm having fun
Fun here without you
I wrote you off, because you did me wrong
Now I watch you burn and I sing my pretty song
But not for you
‘Cause you’re not the one
I'm cold as ice
But hey I'm having fun
Fun here without you
There was a time I loved you so
I never thought I’d let you go
And then you killed the love we had
And you'll never taste these lips again
You want me back
But I ain't that dumb
I'm cold as ice
But hey I'm having
Fun here without you
Without you
Without you

Broken Love
04:08
|

|
It’s been a lonely time,
But now I’m doing fine,
I don’t need sympathy,
You broke my heart, but you set me free,
You left your phone behind,
Another girl all this time,
I knew our love was a lie,
You broke my heart, felt like I could die,
Broken love. All I feel is hurt,
Broken love. The lipstick on your shirt
I felt so alone,
Waiting for you to come home,
I said I knew all about your whore,
It broke my heart when I threw you to the floor
My eyes are blue,
And my heart is black,
You beat me so bad,
I beat you back,
My eyes are black,
And my heart is blue,
The end of us is
The end of you
Broken love. I killed you in the night
Broken love. I finally won the fight,
Broken love. Is dead cold in the dirt,
Broken love. Blood stains on your shirt

Dissolve

I see the fear in your eyes
I see the truth behind your smile
You can't hold onto the deeds gone by
It will consume you until you die
And the word keeps turning and life goes on
Don't be afraid
This too shall pass to another day
You stand too close to the edge of your mind
I see your mask falling down
Smashed into pieces on the ground
You can not run, nowhere to hide
You should choose wisely and keep your pride
And the word keeps turning and life goes on
Don't be afraid
This too shall pass to another day
You stand too close to the edge of your mind
You don't mind
You're out of your mind
I'm out of my mind
We're out of our minds

Black Lips
03:24

She pressed her finger on her black lips
As the rain falls down on her head cold like a stone
There is murder in these trees
I hear them screaming out and praying for peace
Footsteps silent like a spirit
She leads you to the trees cold dead like a stone
Then pressed her fingers against your lips
As you screamed out and begged for peace
Branches moving over your skin
They wrap themselves around your arms and your legs
Before you die a kiss from her lips
So soft but oh so cold
The dead forest continues to grow
The dry branches are reaching up toward the sky
Then pressed her fingers against your lips
As you screamed out and begged for peace
