Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back She hid around corners and she hid under beds She killed it with kisses and from it she fled With every bubble she sank with a drink And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming so you better run Run fast for your mother run fast for your father Run for your children and your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your loving behind you Can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can't you hear the horses Cuz here they come And I never wanted anything from you Except everything you had And what was left after that too. oh. Happiness it hurt like a bullet in the mind Stuck them up drainpipes By someone who should know better than that The dog days are over The dog days are gone Can you hear the horses Cuz here they come Run fast for your mother and fast for your father Run for your children for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your loving behind you Can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are gone Can you hear the horses because here they come The dog days are over The dog days are gone Can you hear the horses because here they come |

The looking glass, so shiny and new,
How quickly the glamour fades, I start spinning slipping out of time, Was that the wrong pill to take? (Raise it up!) You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up, But will it, ever be enough, Raise it up Raise it up It’s not enough Raise it up Raise it up, Here I am, A rabbit hearted girl, Frozen in the headlights It seems I made, the final sacrifice. We raise it up, This offering We raise it up This is a gift, It comes with a price, Who is the lamb and who is the knife? Midas is king And he holds me so tight, And turns me to gold in the sunlight I look around but I can’t find you, (Raise it up!) If only I could see your face, (Raise it up!) I started rushing towards the starlight, (Raise it up!) I wish that I could just be brave I must become the lion hearted girl, Ready for a fight. Before I make the final sacrifice We raise it up This offering We raise it up This is a gift, It comes with a price, Who is the lamb and who is the knife? Midas is king And he holds me so tight, And turns me to gold in the sunlight Raise it up Raise it up And in the spring I shed my skin And it blows away with the changing wind, The water has turned from blue to red As towards the sky I offer it This is a gift, It comes with a price, Who is the lamb and who is the knife? And Midas is king And he holds me so tight, And turns me to gold in the sunlight x 3 This is a gift. |

I'm not calling you a liar,
just don't lie to me. I'm not calling you a thief, Just don't steal from me. I'm not calling you a ghost, Just stop haunting me. And I love you so much, I'm gonna let you, Kill me. There's a ghost in my lungs, And it sighs in my sleep, Wraps itself around my tongue, As it softly speaks. Then it walks, then it walks With my legs, To fall, to fall, to fall at your feet. There but for the grace of god go I, And when you kiss me I'm happy enough to die. I'm not calling you a liar, Just don't lie to me. And I love you so much I'm gonna let you.. I'm not callin you a thief, Just don't.. And I love you so much, I'm gonna let you... I'm not callin you a ghost, Just stop. There's a ghost in my mouth, And it talks in my sleep, Wraps itself around my tongue, As it softly speaks. Then it walks. Then it walks. Then it walks with my legs. To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall. To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall. To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall. To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall. At your feet. Oh but for the grace of God go on, And when you kiss me, I'm happy enough. |

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to Howl, howl Howl, howl Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness And howl, howl Howl, howl Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters Hunters, hunters, hunters Hunters, hunters, hunters The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground And howl Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright If you could only see the beast you've made of me I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground |

You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate Over my head Then I set fire to our bed You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate Over my head Then I set fire to our bed My black eye casts no shadow Your red eye sees no pain Your slaps don't stick Your kicks don't hit So we remain the same Blood sticks and Sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick in the teeth is good for some A kiss with a fist is better than none A-woah a kiss with a fist is better than none Broke your jaw once before spilt your blood upon the floor You broke my leg in return Sit back and watch the bed burn Well love sticks sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick in the teeth is good for some A kiss with a fist is better than none A-woah a kiss woth a fist is better than none You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed

She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax Pretty little thing stopped me in my tracks But now she sleeps with one eye open That's the price she paid I took a knife and cut out her eye I took it home and watched it wither and die Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile That's why she sleeps with one eye open That's the price she paid I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out of my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry I slipped my hand under her skirt I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt That's why you sleep with one eye open That's the price you paid I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out of my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry You made me cry You made me cry You made me cry I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out of my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out of my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry |

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that captured me The sigh that blew me forward Because it was trapped Trapped between two lungs It was trapped between two lungs It was trapped between two lungs And my running feet could fly Each breath screaming: "We are all too young to die!" Between two lungs it was released The breath that passed from you to me That flew between us as we slept That slipped from your mouth into mine It crept between two lungs It was released The breath that passed from you to me That flew between us as we slept That slipped from your mouth into mine It crept Because it was trapped Trapped between two lungs It was trapped between two lungs Now all the days of begging The days of theft No more gasping for a breath The air has filled me head-to-toe And I can see the ground far below I have this breath and I hold it tight And I keep it in my chest with all my might I pray to god this breath will last As it pushes past my lips As I... |

A falling star fell from your heart
and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud as it tore through them and now it's left me blind The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of you heart And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, You were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart |

My boy builds coffins
With hammers and nails He doesn't build ships He has no use for sails He doesn't make tables, Dressers, or chairs He can't carve a whistle 'Cause he just doesn't care My boy builds coffins For the rich and the poor Kings and queens have all Knocked on his door Beggars and liars Gypsies and thieves They all come to him 'Cause he's so eager to please My boy builds coffins He makes them all day But it's not just for work And it isn't for play He's made one for himself One for me too One of these days He'll make one for you For you, for you, for you My boy builds coffins For better or worse Some say it's a blessing Some say it's a curse He fits them together In sunshine or rain Each one is unique No two are the same My boy builds coffins And I think it's a shame That when each one's been made He can't see it again He crafts every one With love and with care Then it's thrown in the ground And it just isn't fair My boy builds coffins He makes them all day But it's not just for work And it isn't for play He's made one for himself One for me too And one of these days He'll make one for you For you, for you, for you |

No walls can keep me protected,
No sleet - nothing between me and the rain. And you can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane. I'm going to blow myself away I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt But I like to think at least things can't get any worse No home, don't want shelter No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm And you can't hold me down, 'cause I belong to the hurricane It's going to blow this all away I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt But I like to think at least things can't get any worse I hope that you see me, 'cause I'm staring at you But when you look over, you look right through Then you lean and kiss her on the head And I never felt so alive and so dead I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt I'm going out.. I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt I'm going out I'm going out I'm going out I'm going out I'm going out I'm going out |

Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Till I realise that it was you who held me under Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world And I could hear thunder and see the lightning crack All around the world was waking, I never could go back 'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open It finally seemed that the spell was broken Then all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards Synapse slipping through the hidden door Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards Synapse slipping through the hidden door Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards Synapse slipping through the hidden door |

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care" But you've got the love I need To see me through Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough And things go wrong no matter what I do Now and then it seems that life is just too much But you've got the love I need to see me through When food is gone you are my daily meal When friends are gone I know my savior's love is real You Know it's real You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love Time after time I think "Oh Lord what's the use?" Time after time I think it's just no good Sooner or later in life, the things you love you loose But you got the love I need to see me through You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care" But you've got the love I need to see me through |

Well I didn't tell anyone
But a bird flew by, saw what I had done He set up a nest outside And he sang about what I'd become He sang so loud, sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbors would hear So I invited him in just to reason with him I promised I wouldn't do it again But he sang louder and louder inside the house And now I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird, and above the din I said, "that's the last song you'll ever sing" Held him down, broke his neck Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget But in my dreams Began to creep That old familiar "Tweet, tweet, tweet" I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout The song was coming from my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth... |

I've fallen out of favour
And I've fallen from grace I've fallen out of trees And I've fallen on my face Fallen out of taxis Out of windows too Fell in your opinion When I fell in love with you Ooooooooooaah Ooooooooooaah Sometimes I wish we're falling wish for the release Wish we're falling through the air To give me some relief Because falling's not the problem When I'm falling I'm at peace It's only when I hit the ground It causes all the grief Ooooooooaah Ooooooooaah This is a song For a scribbled on name And my love keeps on writing Again and again This is a song For a scribbled on name And my love keeps on writing Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again I've danced myself up Drunk myself down Find people to love Love people too drunk I'm not scared to jump I'm not scared to fall If there was nowhere to land I wouldn't be scared At all at all at all at all All all all all Sometimes I wish for falling Wish for the release Wish for falling through the air To give me some relief Because falling's not the problem When I'm falling I'm in peace It's only when I hit the ground It causes all the grief |

There is love in your body but you can't hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin The tenderest touch, leaves the darkest of marks, and the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts There is love in your body but you can't get it out It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face that The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste Darling, how I loved you from the start, but you'll never know what a fool I've been Darling, how I loved you from the start, but that's no excuse for the state I'm in The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts There is love in our bodies and it holds us together And it pulls us apart when we're holding each other We all need something to hold in the night We don't care if it hurts when we're holding too tight There is love in your body but you can't get it out It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face that The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste Darling, how I loved you from the start, but you'll never know what a fool I've been Darling, how I loved you from the start, but that's no excuse for the state I'm in The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts My heart swells like a ???water at weight???, can't stop myself before it's too late Hold on to your heart, 'cause I'm coming to fight you Hold on to your heart, 'cause I'm coming to break you Hold on The hardest of hearts |
