And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet,
Oh oh oh

And although I wasn't losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room was too quiet,
Oh oh oh

I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang,
No oh oh

To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start at the end
But all the choirs in my head sang,
No oh oh

Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean

Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Baby you need to leave,
cause I'm getting drunk on your noble deeds.
It doesn't matter that they don't get done,
when I feel this cold they're like the fucking sun.

Baby I need a friend,
but I'm a vampire smile, you'll meet a sticky end.
I'm here trying not to bite your neck,
but it's beautiful and I'm gonna get...

...so drunk on you and kill your friends.
You'll need me and we can be obsessed.
And I can touch your hair and taste your skin,
the ghosts won't matter 'cause we'll hide in sin.

Instrumental

And oh, poor Atlas
The world’s a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That’s what the water gave us

So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

‘Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You couldn't have it any other way

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no

One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly,
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die,
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, gonna die, die, die, die

Craving Island, o desolate,
While I still search for your skin,
I'm facing my fate.
Oh tell me mama, is there a place?
A resilient harbour to lay?

Jealously yours,
I'm climbing that hell.
Then I realize,
I'm not sure of your spell anymore
It kills my reason to understand,
Your not mine, I'm not yours.
I'm back on my bones again.

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go... bling.

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
Stand up
Poor and tired, but more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

Whisper to my heart,
when hope is torn apart
and no one can save you

I walk alone,
every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm, holding me awake
It's never gone, when I walk alone

Go back to sleep forever more
Far from your fools and lock the door
They're all around and they'll make sure

You don't have to see
What I turned out to be
no one can help you

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

Yeah, I get a little crazy with the razor blades
Go on and call your mama if you need a band aid
But everything worth it, hurts a little bit
You don't want to run away and I won't let you anyway

'Cause we're doing it for the cause
How do you suppose I get anything done?
You're making it so hard
'Cause you'll never get to heaven as the radical son
Just keep it up, you soldier

You want out, I can't help
I've got to make you understand
You gotta take it like a man.

Instrumental

I'll seek you out, flay you alive
One more word and you won't survive
And I'm not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour

I'm taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze
And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Think you're funny, think you're smart,
Think you’re gonna break my heart.
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Yeah, you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art.

Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall.

Women and men we are the same,
But love will always be a game,
A human vulnerability
Doesn't mean that I am weak

We give and take a little more,
‘Cause all my life I’ve been controlled,
You can’t have peace without a war,
Without a war, without a war.

Instrumental

Taking over this town, they should worry,
But these problem aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.

And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.

Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
A lion-heart.

She can't see the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet

Now all of the landscape, it's just an empty place
Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness

Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me.
