Been spending so much time underground, I guess my eyes adjusted, to the lack of light. I got covered in darkness, covered in darkness. Hibernating always waiting for something new, happiness always ended in the blink of an eye. There was no one attending, no one attending.
It doesn't really matter where it all began. All I know, I got covered in darkness, covered in darkness.
Ever wonder why I never really truly connect? Although my eyes are open, I can hold your gaze, but I am never connected, never connected. I am famous for my generosity. They say I am the kindest. It is easier to give than receive love, give than receive love.
It doesn't really matter where it all began. All I know, I was covered in darkness, covered in darkness.
Turning pages over, I run away to no where. And its hard to take control when your enemy's old and afraid of you. You discover that the monster you've been running from is the monster in you. Better to hold on to love. Better to hold on to love. Change will come.
It doesn't really matter where it all began. All I know, I was covered in darkness, covered in darkness.
It doesn't really matter where it all began. Cause all I know, I was lost, I was lost.
Somewhere inside my evolution karmically I seek retribution Looking for love in physical beauty Desire is the drug of the bourgeoisie And now I try to intellectualize Like a glimmer of good in a bad man's eyes I am consumed by the flesh haunting me I know temptation taunts the empty
So pour yourself over me Until there's nothing left to see Because I like the way you move in the dark I like the tension, the tension and the spark
The decadence of giving in to desire Creates such entropy within Looking for love in the spiritual faces Blind to the art of fabrication I'm like a baby sucking mamma's milk Wanna drink my fill and then some Leave me alone I always thought I was better than this But temptation tempts the temptee
Pour yourself over me Until there's nothing left to see Because I like the way you move in the dark And I like the tension, the tension and the spark
Because I like the way you move in the dark You know I like the tension, the tension and, the tension the spark
This physicality Shifting me chemically Such power over me It's just desire I know it's trickery I know it's just skin deep I know I should resist I'm just too tired Too tired
There's just one thing missing One thing missing here is love
I like the way you move in the dark I like the tension, the tension and the spark (so pour yourself over me) You know I like the way you move in the dark (so pour yourself over me) You know I like the tension, the tension and, the tension the spark So pour yourself over me (yeah, yeah, yeah) (there's just one thing missing, one thing missing) Until there's nothing left to see (yeah, yeah, yeah) So pour yourself over me (there's just one thing missing, one thing missing) So pour yourself over me (I like the tension, the tension and the spark)
Light... it flickers Your light Travelling down so deep Illumination
I have been cold, I have been blind You have come to change my mind I can put my faith in you
Light... it blisters Your light Coming down so bright Transformation Turn it up, give me some room to grow Turn it up, give me that sense to know
I have been cold, I have been blind You were sent to change my mind I can put my faith in you
From something ordinary It's so extraordinary I trust I put my faith in you In you In you, in you In you, in you
Light... it glitters Your light When I stand this close It's almost blinding Turn it up, give me some room to grow Turn it up, give me the sense to know
I have been changed, I have become I am flame I am the sun I'm the reflection of you
From something ordinary It's so extraordinary I trust, I put my faith in you In you In you, in you In you, in you In you, you, you
From something ordinary It's so extraordinary I just, I put my faith in you In you In you, in you In you, you, you
I've got a plan to make it rich and famous, Lucky for me, for you it's a bitch you ain't in, My plans are slowly changing, Fame is so contagious
Chorus I'm willing to sleep my way to the top, I wanna be pop… ular, I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground, I wanna be popular
I must confess, I've been a ve-ry bad boy, Been sleepin around, Talk of the town, My name is… Hol-lywood will beckon, E-veryone will listen, Play my video hear me on the radio, Dancin to the disco no one ever says no
Chorus I'm willing to sleep my way to the top, I wanna be pop…ular, I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground, I wanna be popular, I'm willing to sleep my way to the top, I wanna be pop…ular, I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground, I wanna be popular

Are you willing to sleep your way to the top? Do you want to be popular?
I've been down a lonely street tonight And I don't know what's wrong with me I don't know what's wrong with me The clouds cover up the Dublin sky I don't know what's left of me I don't know what's right with me And I've tried to keep my distance And I've sung Amazing Grace I've tarnished all our memories But there'll always be a trace of you Of you
I remember laughing on that river's edge Trying to get you to jump with me Trying to get you to fall for me And your trembling heart it beat so fast Holdings hands you promised me Holding hands we counted to three And I felt your slipping fingers And I saw you change your mind If I hadn't dragged you in with me You would have let me dive without you Without you
They sent you all the way from Hollywood And maybe that Dublin sky was changing you It put diamonds in your eyes I always thought we were going to make it through But I wanted to hear it first from you
How many days am I going to regret you? How many nights till I forget you? Have I been wasting all those years? Held down by these tears? How many dreams have I left deserted? How many hopes have been diverted? Have I been buried in the dirt? Held down by this hurt?
How many loads did I let you hijack? How many ways can I stand here in playback? How did I end up lying here Crying underneath the Dublin sky?
How many days am I going to regret you? How many nights till I forget you? Have I been wasting all these years? Drowning in my tears?
How many nights am I going to regret you? How many days till I forget you? Have I been wasting all these years? Drowning in my tears?
Outside comfort in the skin I am all that you're projecting Inside feel the rising tide And the revolutions deafening
I was trying to hide my opposing side Trying to reconcile my magical light
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don't want to be your hero (No, I am not open parts of me are broken) Do yourself a favor Save yourself Don't pick me find someone else (Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Sometimes you put all of your desires in an object of affection But in time because you idolise there is only disappointment
I was flying so high in your perfect sky But I needed to fall cannot have it all
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don't want to be your hero (No, I am not open parts of me are broken) Do yourself a favor Save yourself Don't pick me find someone else (Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don't want to be your hero (No, I am not open parts of me are broken) Do yourself a favor Save yourself Don't pick me for someone else (Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Don't need to compromise I don't need to occupy the floor There's a danger in boxing in my sin And all that I am..
It's too much pressure I'll only let you down again (No, I am not open parts of me are broken) It's too much pressure I'll only let you down again (Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don't want to be your hero (No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
It's too much pressure I'll only let you down again (No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don't want to be your hero (No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Are my lips unkissable? Are my eyes unlookable? Is my skin untouchable? Am I unlovable?
Cynical, jaded, faithless, disappointed, disillusioned, used If I could take back all my sweat, my tears, my sex, my joy I would My time, my love, my effort, passion, dedication In a case of mistaken identity I gave these things to you I sound angry, bitter, sad, infatuated, it's the truth Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, just a few Stages of acceptance that it's really over It's just so complicated, I'm stupid for believing in you
You make me feel like my father never loved me You make me feel like the act of love is empty Am I so unlovable? Is my skin untouchable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
I had your back, I held you up, I told you you were good enough It was never reciprocated, you kept affection and then yourself apart You fed your love to me like crumbs to pigeons in the park Sometimes I think it satisfied you seeing me begging like a dog I wasn't armoured, you were king, I gave my everything Because sometimes you showed me just a hint of you within For just a moment I romanticised the notion I can take away the torment, I can love you like they never did
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me) You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty) Am I so unlovable? Is my skin untouchable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me) You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty) Am I so unlovable? Is my heart unbreakable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you despise?
Are my lips unkissable? Are my eyes unlookable? Is my sex undoable? Am I unlovable? Are my words unlistenable? Are my hands untouchable? Am I undesirable? Am I unlovable?
You make me feel like my father never loved me You make me feel like the act of love is empty Am I so unlovable? Is my skin untouchable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?

I've seen so many faces These hands have lied before I've kissed so many lips it's blocked my mind I've whispered bullshit, nothings I've cried alone at night I thought I'd found the one a million times
But doesn't anyone fill the void? Doesn't anyone kill the joy? Doesn't anyone take the place of you in my heart? And doesn't anyone fill the void? Doesn't anyone kill the joy? Doesn't anyone take the place of you?
I let a stranger love me I gave away my pride I bit my lips, so I could block my mind I've called your name to others Just like a spinal chord Severed and broken but the spark still tries
And doesn't anyone fill the void? Doesn't anyone kill the joy? Doesn't anyone take the place of you in my heart? Doesn't anyone fill the void? Doesn't anyone kill the noise? Doesn't anyone take the place of you?
They don't know you like I do They don't see the good inside you They don't lie with you in bed and join you when you're dreaming They don't see your softer side Who'll be there to turn your light on? Who will try to wash away the stain that love has left us?
Doesn't anyone fill the void? Doesn't anyone kill the joy? Doesn't anyone kill the place of you in my heart? Doesn't anyone bring the noise? Doesn't anyone kill the joy? Doesn't anyone take the place of you?
For all the anguish, And degradation For every time I needed truth And you were faithless But disappointment, self-deprecation But living a lie for fantasize and you could save me
I need my cross like a blanket And misery is comfort I can hardly stand to blame myself for filling prophecy on you And in the end I decided I guess I felt I deserved it I should kiss your dirty lips for bringing me my clarity
And how did you just make me see? How your lies have buried me But I forgive you Lord I must forgive you So I
I feel so high Just let it go we would I forgive you Lord I must forgive you So I
(Shut up)
For all the torment Loss of independence For disrespect, carelessness with my emotions For all the screams I swallow How a soul is hollow For giving into temptation For making me feel like a cheap replacement
And how did you just make me see How your lies have buried me But I forgive you Lord I must forgive you Cos I
I feel so high Just let it go we would I forgive you Lord I must forgive you Cos I
All the lies that I believed And all the guilt you make me feel Cos I forgive you Lord I must forgive you Cos I
Ohh I feel so good just letting go You know I feel good now you're gone
Getting stronger, letting go Getting stronger, I'm moving on Getting stronger, I'm letting go Getting stronger, I'm getting stronger No
This time I forgive you Lord I
And how the truth does make me see And how your lies have buried me I forgive you Lord I I must forgive you Lord I
All the lies that I believed And all the guilt you make me feel I forgive you Cos I forgive you Lord I must forgive you Cos I
And how the truth does make me see How your lies have buried me I forgive you Cos I forgive you Lord I I must forgive you
(This time)
All the lies that I believed Guilt you make me feel This time I must forgive you
I feel so high I feel so high
Cos it feels so good just letting go You know I feel good now you go
You teach me how to feel It feels all right There's nothing left to fear Finding myself The further I go Towards you
You teach me how to love Parts of myself I hated for so long Loving myself Through loving you
I no longer live like a man in the dark Hiding all the pieces of my broken heart Way up high I'm holding on Way up high I'm holding on to you
You teach me to forgive It feels all right Compassion for your pain Compassion for mine The circle divides
I no longer live like a man in the dark Holding all the pieces of my broken heart Way up high I'm holding on Way up high I'm holding on to you Way up high I'm moving on Way up high I'm moving on to you
I do not want anyone, anyone who really wants me Every one that I desire, wants to be with someone else... I find it so amusing. Isn't that the way it goes? I'm a blip on someone's radar They don't even catch my eye, I want what I haven't got Even if it kills me trying.
I want her, she wants him, he wants me, I give in. I want her, I want him, I don't want anything. I started questioning the rules of coupling. This trip is mobious, it's never ending.
Love and attraction. It's like sex and passion. It's two ends of a spectrum. Are you a friend or a lover? Now pick one or the other.
It is not easy to find, anyone who captivates me Anyone deserving time. must have somehow passed me by... Looking in the wrong direction.
She wants him, he wants me, I don't want anybody. And everyone who wants me - it's so amusing.
Love and attraction. It's like sex and passion. It's two ends of a spectrum. Are you a friend or lover? Now pick one or the other.
Everybody wants someone to hold. Everybody wants to choose a role. Everybody wants to break the mold. No hint of bravery.
Everybody chases some ideal. None of it obtainable, none of it real. Everything falls between the cracks of Love and attraction.

You will like my sense of humor You will be addicted to my smile Laughing all the while And I will end each conversation I will leave the room with upper hand And you will understand
You will find my scent attractive You will like my real, engaging eyes And playful, childlike smile You will find my style appealing I will overpower you with wits And I will be a hit
If only you'd run to me If only you'd come to me If only you'd relax upon your rules And dare to be love's fool If only you'd come for me If only you'd run to me If only you'd relax upon those rules And dare to be love's fool
Waking up from a coma (tossing, turning) Sweat has covered my body (my mouth felt dry) My life flashing before me (nothing much to say) Still it was so boring (did you hear me sing?) Only I could adore you (the wind through the trees) Silently barking orders (rushing up to me) This is only beginning (don't anger the sea) Oh, the wave's crashing higher and higher on me
Crash, crash, crash, crash
If only you'd relax upon your rules And dare to be love's fool If only you'd run to me All the blinking lights, noise of eternity (if only you'd come to me) All the sentences swirling inside of me (you will like my sense of humor) Inside of me (and dare to be love's fool) (If only you'd come to me) I have censored my eyes, I get drawn through my ears (if only you'd run to me) Redirected desire now It comes out as tears (you will like my sense of humor) You know, it comes out as tears (and dare to be love's fool)
You will like my sense of humor You will like my sense of humor
I have been contemplating Letting go of you ego Thought I'd let you know You're getting old
It was so irritating saving face When I fell from grace Thought you'd won a race Without a trace
But you stayed But you remained But you.. It's always about you
I have been quietly edging away To keep the flames at bay Make this puppy stay To limit my use of personal Pro-nouns are the death of me See I just said me You're an endless see
The vanity is all for you babe For you babe For you.. It's always about you
I have been silently taking offense And at great expense As my feeling dent I'm licking my scratches
It serves no purpose Doesn't gratify And you're dissatisfied And though you're belly's full
There's always more room for you babe For you babe For you.. It's always about you
Do you love me? Or am I just another trip? In this strange relationship? You push and pull me 'Till i'm about to loose my mind Is this just a waste of time?
Keep acting like you own me I keep running, watch me walking out that door I hear you behind me
*Gimme that strange relationship Never felt pleasure and pain like this Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong I keep holding on Gimme that strange relationship One of us gotta let go of this I keep pushing and you keep holding on I'm already gone
Do you love me? We break up and back together And I swear to myself never But oh how you do me You strip me of my honour And I don't ever think I'm gonna
Break free of these mind games All I'm tryin' to do is modify my plan Cause I can't contain you...
* repeat
You keep acting like you own me Like you control me You said you never really wanted me back Well maybe that's a fact May I suggest a brand new plan of attack And in defense of that You're hard to crack You're way off track I want you back I want you gone Maybe I'm sick of holding on
Do you love me? Or am I just another trip in this strange relationship?
When moonlight crawls along the street Chasing away the summer heat Footsteps outside somewhere below The world revolves I let it go We build our church above this street We practice love between these sheets The candy sweetness scent of you It bathes my skin I'm stained by you And all I have to do is hold you There's a racing in my heart I am barely touching you
*Turn the lights down low Take it off Let me show My love for you Insatiable Turn me on Never stop Wanna taste every drop My love for you Insatiable
The moonlight plays upon your skin A kiss that lingers takes me in I fall asleep inside of you There are no words There's only truth Breathe in Breathe out There is no sound We move together up and down We levitate our bodies soar Our feet don't even touch the floor And nobody knows you like I do The world doesn't understand But I grow stronger in your hands
* repeat
We never sleep we're always holdin' hands Kissin' for hours talkin' makin' plans I feel like a better man Just being in the same room We never sleep there's just so much to do Too much to say Can't close my eyes when I'm with you Insatiable the way I'm loving you
I've cracked My temper's spat Hot coal, fire and acid jack I've been used I've been abused Something you've done has lit my fuse And I take my theories back Maybe karma ain't all that Cos you do what you please Everybody else is left to bleed
*You're a heart attack Your heart is black It's whack Your mind is jacked How did anybody ever get like that? You're a heart attack You stabbed me in the back If you pull your punches jack I'm taking everything back You hit me harder than a heart attack
We used to stick together You and me stay that way forever But now to my suprise You've become what we despised What's that they're telling me? Sleeping with the enemy! Going down on dirty sheets Didn't nobody tell you how to be discreet?
* repeat
You're dancing while I'm dying Laughing while I'm crying Denying the mess you made Your true colours are clashing The airplane is crashing It's smashing Were you even there? Cos I don't think you care About anyone but yourself now
Go run but you can't hide Actions they can't be denied One thing keeps buggin' me Tell me how you sleep at night I need to set things right Shake things up Modify Change plans and break the rules Play the game like you do too
Give me a reason Why I'm feeling so blue Everytime I close my eyes All I see is you Give me a reason Why I can't feel my heart Everytime you leave my side I just fall apart And when you're fast asleep I wonder where you go Can you tell me I wanna know
*Because I miss you And this is all I wanna say I guess i miss you beautiful These three words have said it all You know I miss you I think bout you when you're gone I guess I miss you Nothings wrong I don't mean to carry on
But give me a reason Why I can't concentrate The world is turning upside down Spinning round and round Now give me a reason Why I now understand The beauty and simplicity in everything Surrounding me You've got a way of spreading magic everywhere Anywhere I go I know you're always there It sounds ridiculous but when you leave a room There's a part of me that just wants to follow you too
* repeat
It's such a hard life and most of the time I'm just surviving That's why I want you to know In a world where sincerity has lost it's meaning You fill my world with so much hope
and I miss you And this is all I wanna say I guess i miss you beautiful These three words have said it all You know I miss you I think bout you when you're gone I guess I miss you Nothings wrong I don't mean to carry on
You know I miss you And this is all I wanna say I guess i miss you beautiful These three words have said it all
You know I miss you This is all I wanna do I know ir doesn't sound too cool But maybe I'm in love with you You know I miss you And this is all I wanna say I guess I miss you Nothings wrong I don't mean to carry on
I just miss you Yeah It's true And when you're walking out the door I know I miss you You make me wanna ask for more I just miss you
Creepin' up on you is the wrong thing to do I found your address got your phone number too Visit all the stores where you buy all your clothes Been to secret places you think nobody knows
If I have to breathe without you Nobody should... I need to be around you Watchin' you
*Noone else can love you like I do Feel it when I'm creepin' up on you I know that it wouldn't be right If I stayed all night Just to peek in on you Creepin' up on you
I been hanging round all the places you haunt Spying on your friends to find out what you want Drinking from the glass that you left on the bar Follow you around driving home in your car
Do I have to breathe without you? Cos nobody could I need to be round you Watching you
* repeat
This must be wrong It can't go on This kind of thing It's taking all my sanity and making a mockery This must be wrong It can't go on So won't somebody free me from this misery Bring me baby closer to me
Noone else can love you like I do Feel it when I'm creepin' up on you I know that it wouldn't be right If I stayed all night Just to peek in on you Creepin'
Lookin' like first class Acting like a cheap date Honey drippin' smile So stylin Bet you know what you do Don't you baby? Eyes that penetrate Heat that degenerates Lust communicates I can hardly wait To get to you And show you baby
*If you want to I can be dirty too I can spin you around Pick you up and go down If you want to I can be just like you And do the dirty things you do
Walk into a room Inpeceptible boom Tight shot Close zoom When you move It's assumed You feel it too Don't you baby? Tickin' like a fuse There's an itch i gotta scratch Ten minutes in a room Get this monkey off my back Any dark space would do To show you baby
