1.Torch Song
I saw you.
Angels came to light your path.
I heard you.
Keep the wings pressed under glass.
Now am I, so enthralled that I might die？
I saw you,
Sweetly smile and say you try, do try.
Anything
I tear out my eyes for you my dear.
Anything
To see everything that you do.
I saw you.
So bereft so pail and weak.
When I look through.
You and I, decline to speak.
I won't say
Anything
I tear out my eyes for you my dear.
Anything
To see everything that you do, I do.
Anything
I tear out my soul for you my dear, oh my dear.
Anything
To feel everything, as you do, I do.
Anything.
Anything.
oh.
Leave me.
Leave me to break, than nothings lost.
Leave me.
but when you leave, no nothings lost, nothings lost.
Anything
I tear out my eyes for you my dear.
Anything
To see everything that you do, I do.
Anything
I tear out my soul for you my dear, oh my dear.
Anything
To feel everything, as you do, I do. I do.
2.Beautiful Thieves
My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight strangers？
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful Thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Are we running toward death？
I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Who would run for cover？
Who would run from us？
Who would run for cover？
Who would run from us？
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects at all
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
3.End Transmission
Pull the top down, use your knees to drive
I'll make it worth your while, just let me taste the sky
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star
And said ' We never, can truly, know who we are '
Know who we are
With the lights out and the night inside
The broken radio was playing suicide
I felt myself falling, I confess to you
I saw a body, you said you'd seen a few
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now's the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun, the gun
Keep the top down, use your knees to drive
I'll hide these words, they're only yours to find
You pressed your mouth on mine and said they'd call us stars
Than said 'We never can truly know who we are'
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now's the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
Everything was burning bright,
Everyone was frightened,
You, said 'Stay strong'
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited, still,
Remains when we're gone
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now's the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
Oh!
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now is the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun, the gun
I'll bring the gun
Oh.
4.Too Shy to Scream
I come quietly.
Silent entities can lack a certain weight, when unseen.
Do they speak of me？
My voice left with the breeze, that whisperd
'you Should flee or you shall be seen.'
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause to break my heart？
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause to break my heart？
I am everywhere, everywhere but here.
For here is where you grace the nameless.
Were I not so weak, could I even speak？
I warn that you should leave, before you're seen with me.
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause to break my heart？
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause to break my heart？
Will you pause to break my heart？
Will you pause？
I am everywhere.
Everywhere but here.
I am everywhere.
Everywhere but here.
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause to break my heart？
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause？
I die, if you only met my eyes before you pass by.
Will you pause to break my heart？
Will you pause to break my heart？
Will you pause？
5.Veronica Sawyer Smokes
Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly, far too young to realize
I had loved so dearly you, who's world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
Dying since I had misread your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line.
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
6.Okay,I Feel Better Now
There is nothing to me.
There is nothing though there was a time
I had felt elation
before all sensation died.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
for you, every vital sign defied.
This means nothing to me.
This means nothing so spare me the lies.
I deny you sympathy just as I have been denied.
I cannot breath.
I can't deny that I've been faking,
for you, every sign of life
I died for the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take til I made you cry.
This is what you taught me.
This is what you taught - and I learned well -
to recognize that feeling easily can be dispelled.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
for you, every vital sign defied.
I died for the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take til I made you cry.
Show your wounds I'm bored with mine.
Nothing is new.
Don't despair I rarely cry.
Oh, my dear please dry your eyes.
Who could harm you？
To hurt you is to be despised, as I'd love to
I died for the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take til I made you cry.
7.Medicate
Could I？
Could I just find a way？
I find you everyday
and we could alter time
But...
I've come to find
Everyones gone away
So this may be the time
For the perfect crime
Yes, this is perfect...
Our Medicine
Our time to...
Medicate, you and me
Now as we
Lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate
Come Day
You'll say you can not stay
Once more I'll feel the same
It happens every time
So, I've come to find
Everyone goes away
I'm destined to remain
You were never mine
So, you were perfect
Our medicine
Our time to...
Medicate, you and me
Now as we
Lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate
Can you describe what it's like？
I feel nothing
Can you feel this？
Does it sting？
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
(Can you tell me how it feels？)
I feel nothing at all
(As we pretend this is real)
I feel nothing
Medicate, you and me
Now as we
Lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate, you and me
Now as we
Lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate, you and me
Now as we
Lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
You don't even know my name
You don't even know my name
8.I Am Trying Very Hard to Be Here
Before you came what was your name？
Did you look like me？
No one's from here,
no one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name,
just keep your face.
We're temporary anyway.
Before you came
we played this game
in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick.
Take our picture!
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
What was your past？
When was the last time that you recall
someone your knew was someone who
asked nothing of you？
So lose your past.
I'm sure you'll find
it's in the way all the time.
Before you're through
you're someone who looks a lot like you.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick.
Take our picture!
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
We can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't recall the feelings
that we cannot show.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick.
Take our picture!
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick.
Take our picture!
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're no fixtures.
9.Sacrilege
I'm never gonna understand this.
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan.
It's obsolete.
How could you recognize
and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life.
Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
as I watch these rash hysterics
lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will
open and save us from the truth.
They say that they'd leave today
just without, without you.
Is this one big joke？
I can only hope.
Say your prayers, they're the final punch line.
I don't see the love
below or above.
I see you're scared, well I feel fine.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
I feel I have been abandoned.
I alone seem to see disgrace
as I watch these mad dogmatics
govern our entire race.
Don't tell them you can walk on water
or they may drink your blood.
Why live for pain, in the name
the name of, name of Love？
I can only hope
this is in one big joke
with your prayers as the final punch line.
How is it divine
when it's flawed design？
Fill the cracks with faith I can't find.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
Screaming for pure love
you venerate delusion based in hate
Bleeding from pure love
for this I pray：
We've got to shake the faith
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
10.Darling,I Want to Destroy You
Were you dying to go？
You just looked so exposed,
demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows
betrayed you and I on that night.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed？
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth
this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.
As you reached for my hand
did you then understand？
It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show
that I needn't be scared,
either way I still bight.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed？
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth
this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.
So here's the final scene
when I finally come clean.
I've watched you for years.
And here's my favorite part,
where you beg for my heart
and I disappear.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed？
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth
this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.
11.Cold Hands
How I regret what I must do
but you've left me no choice.
Though I still strain
I can't recall the beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the walls
a song I've heard many times
I must return all you gave me
in the company of swine.
We had found sacred ground you burnt down.
I thought you sang to tastefully
but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave
so, please, cut the love song.
How I regret what I must do
but you must be replaced
for I cannot go on suffering
such simple and common tastes.
When you met my eyes you sang to me
of passion, pain and will.
When I blinked you turned away
to kiss the hand of filth.
You had found sacred ground I'll burn down
I thought you sang to tastefully
but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave
so, please, cut the love song.
Tell me who will hear your voice, your song,
when the smoke has cleared and the lights are gone？
Tell me, who appears when I'm gone.
I thought you sang to tastefully
but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave
so, please, cut the love song.
I thought you sang to tastefully
but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave
so, please, cut the love song.
12.It Was Mine
Don't move
Don't do anything
What we got to, got away
Slipped from us
Don't sleep, don't
Don't say anything, they've
been recording all we say,
For years now
You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely now, but don't
Don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone.
I know.
Don't feel
Don't rub anything
Love attracts all those who taint
the cherished
Don't try to
to change anything
Nothing pure can ever stay
You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely now, but don't
Don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone.
They'll say
'Relax you'll be fine'
All we love goes away
They'll take
All you that felt fine
All we love goes away
It was mine
It was mine
You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely
And don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone.
Don't say anything
Don't say, anything
They won't leave until I'm gone
I'm gone.
13.Fainting Spells (From Decemberunderground Sessions 2006)
Give me this before
I slip, before I sink,
because I think
I may have found
the short way down
Just give me something
Something's cold and clear
the love spent here,
as I had feared,
means nothing dear.
I pray to reason I'll forget
I'll trade what's left
Just give me something
I'm the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
I'm the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out
Desecrate til we die alone
I will defy
the pulse disguise
but please pretend
we're still alive
if it gives you hope
I sung and drowned,
I'm taking the short way down
Just give me something
I'm the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
I'm the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
Give me something I can take,
can take to make the memories fade,
Poison kiss, remember this,
I never was meant for this day
Give me something I can take,
can take to make the memories fade,
Poison kiss, remember this,
I never was meant for this day
I'm the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
I'm the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
Just give me something
I'm the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
I'm the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
we die alone
we die alone
14.We've Got the Knife (Demo from Crash Love Sessions)
You've got your pretty face.
You've got disarming eyes.
You've got such social grace.
I've got my pretty spies.
I found you lost, misplaced.
I loved that lovely guise.
I said I'd try my luck and you said,
well you don't you don't have to try.
I forgot that night, what you said that night：
I had the most exquisite time.
Well you got that right,
but it's not the whole story.
I want it all.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Say it, as if it were true.
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do.
I wanna hear you mean it,
when you say I'm not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Save it cuz we've got the knife.
You've got your pretty face.
You've got your stunning glow.
You've got exquisite taste.
I've got the marks to show.
You said you'd shoot the stars
but bullets make you blush.
Turns out, you liked to play.
Play with knives and I hear
that it gives you a rush.
Well we've got the knife,
yeah we've got the knife.
I've got the knife you left behind.
Well we've got the knife.
Now I want the whole story.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Say it, as if it were true.
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do.
I wanna hear you mean it,
when you say I'm not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Save it cuz we've got the knife.
I thought you looked familiar.
I'd seen your face long before that night.
Now I wait, for you were no stranger.
No stranger to taking a life.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Say it, as if it were true.
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do.
I wanna hear you mean it,
when you say I'm not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Save it cuz we've got the knife.
15.Where We Used to Play (Demo from Crash Love Sessions)
I might seem a bit peculiar
A bit not right
for though I try,
I remain a stranger not of this time.
I swear I'm almost there
though I've been wandering for days.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I know I'm with strangers I recognize
and I realize my own disowned me.
Were never mind.
I swear I'm almost there.
This is right where we used to play.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I never will let it go until I find the place I called mine.
I never was truly meant for this time.
I might seem a bit peculiar
A bit not right
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
16.100 Words (From Sing The Sorrow Sessions 2003)
This is the final night, boys.
We are the cracks in diamond walls.
I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill.
I'm overshadowed.
See how I blend in with nothing？
Now beautiful boys, let's destroy.
We'll shine as the lucite breaks and falls.
Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears
the tears that swallow.
A smile that's touched so warms nothing.
Yesterday I burnt the sky,
looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.
Still today I have so much to burn.
Yesterday I longed to die,
fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.
Now today I question why I fell.
Deities fell to decoys,
tainting what's pure.
Let's cleanse them all.
Infinite life reclaimed,
as the shadows kill they are overshadowed.
Well burn as they fade into nothing.
Yesterday I burnt the sky,
looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.
Still today I have so much to burn.
Yesterday I longed to die,
fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.
Now today I question why I fell.
So what can help me to understand, somehow,
why it always pains me to breathe？
We're no longer confined
because yesterday I burnt the sky...
Yesterday I burnt the sky,
looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.
Still today I have so much to burn.
Yesterday I longed to die,
fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.
Now today I question why I fell.
