Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice

HIM Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice Lyrics
1.In Venere Veritas

Let's fall apart together now

Zipping cupid in a body bag well worn
Next to the mausoleum he was born in
Picking up the pieces of this gory glory of it all
From Eve to morn
For Eve to morn

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the fire burn you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas

Let's fall apart together now

There's a method to our sadness -
- as we drag the mirrored ball and chain
Through the twilight again
Dressed up in shame

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the fire burn you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas

We are begging for a reflection from -
- an unshuttered heart to
Find and chase us over the edge

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the fire burn you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas
These are the wounds that are not meant to heal at all

Let's fall apart together now
Let's fall apart together now


2.Scared to Death

In the biblical sense and sensibility
Let me know you
I'll kiss that smile off your face
Just say when
(Just say when)

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
Any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death,
I am scared to death
To fall in love

All these people blast from hell
Ice break is infernal
From a heart so black and blue
Only for you
(Just say when, again)

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
Any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death,
I am scared to death
To fall in love
With you...
With you...

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
Any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death,
I am scared to death
To fall in love

I'm not afraid to admit I adore you
Any more than I was before, babe
I am scared to death,
I am scared to death
To fall in love
With you...
With you...
With you...
I'm scared to death...
Scared to death...
I'm scared to death..
And you're sweet like poison...


3.Heartkiller

Farewell heartless world,
I'll send you a postcard burnt
And the flames you tried so hard
To extinguish with fear of failing.
I'll write down everything I have learned,
And edit it down to a single word
Love, for you I'm waiting, anticipating

Sparks will fly, beneath the Lunar light
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.
A little we die, above the lesser light
For you I'm open wide,
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.

Top hats off to the return,
Of the beat to lick a wound to
Cursed for some and blessed for a few.
It doesn't have to make any sense at all
Come hither and we'll fall,
In love, for love
I'm crawling out of patience baby

Sparks will fly, beneath the Lunar light
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.
A little we die, above the lesser light
For you I'm open wide,
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.
Paint all your sorrows for me to sing
Heartkiller
Draw your pain and hear me hum it out

Sparks will fly, beneath the Lunar light
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.
A little we die, above the lesser light
For you I'm open wide,
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer.

Uhhhhhhhhh uhhh uhh
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer

Uhhhhhhhhh uhhh uhh
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heart killer


4.Dying Song

I've seen you breathe life into the weakest hearts
And heard you scream out loud the sweetest poem
Echoing across the ocean reminding me why I still try
To hold on to whatever is left of you and I

Shedding skin to a dying song.. whoaa oh
We hold on to the evening sun til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound alot like life

I've seen these dreams being crushed by a single thought
And felt the envy and sadness engulf our warmth
Barely alive under lies by exchanging signs
With tomorrow withering in our loneliest nights

Shedding skin to a dying song.. whoaa oh
We hold on to the evening sun till we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound alot like...
Life and Love
Life and Love
With youu ..


Crawl back into bid tomorrow
Is trembling at the sight of you and I

Shedding skin to a dying song.. whoaa oh
We hold on to the evening sun till we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound alot like...

Life and Love
Life and Love
Life and Love
Life and Love
With you
With you
With you
With you
Dying song


5.Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)

The promise of heaven
Pushed us right back to hell
Turn three sevens into three sixes again
And you laughed at my face
When I told you how much it hurts
And said...

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before
Deceive me out of my emptiness
Telling me how you love

You keep on tempting me to go on whatever the cost
To witness the prettiest flower in the wicked to dust
So I'll break all the rules in this endless game once called
love
For you...

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before
Deceive me out of my emptiness
Telling me how you love
Me with all your heart no more


Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before
Deceive me out of my emptiness
Telling me how you love
Me with all your heart no more
Tell me how much it hurts my love (No more)
Tell me how my kiss can change your world

No more
Tell me how much it hurts to be alone (No more)
Now believe that you hurt me with all your heart
No more


6.Love,the Hardest Way

Love's like the devil pelting teardrops in the rain
To the sound of chalkboard symphony with nails
For what it's worth
I don't wanna see you hurt anymore
Than you have to

Dine on glass
Wine no more
Baby, love the hard way
Baudelaire in Braille
Baby, love the harder way
Won't you lose yourself into
I promise you love the hardest way


Pretty like a flower on a tomb you are
Just blew by the last arrows of your soul
Oly Oly Oxen free
Hide and you'll weep
No more
Unless you want to

Dine on glass
Wine no more
Baby, love the hard way
Baudelaire in Braille
Baby, love the harder way
Won't you lose yourself into
I promise you love the hardest WAYYYY ...

Dine on glass
Wine no more
Baby, love the hard way
Baudelaire in Braille
Baby, love the harder way
Won't you lose yourself into
I promise you love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Won't you lose yourself into
I promise you love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest ...


7.Katherine Wheel

Lo and behold baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I am burning for you

I'm burning for you

Come on and break me a limb at a time
Wrap me around your spoke so tight
There's no letting go
Spin me around to blur the line
Between you and I
What are you waiting for

Lo and behold baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I am burning for you
Please don't stop
Until my heart no longer screams
Katherine Wheel
Katherine Wheel

Holding hands won't be enough
In a world giving head to God
But the theory in practice chapter one

Lo and behold baby

Katherine Wheel I am burning for you
Please don't stop
Until my heart no longer screams
Katherine Wheel
Katherine Wheel

I twist and turn
Your arms swirl
The dizzier I get the clearer I see
With you I'm pleased with the world within

Lo and behold baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I am burning for you
Please don't stop
Until my heart no longer screams
Katherine Wheel
Katherine Wheel

Lo and behold baby

Katherine Wheel
I'm burning for you


8.In the Arms of Rain

Once again we found ourselves to be lost
Holding hands while straying from the path
In the forest dark
Aren't you happy to see me crawl -
- serpentine towards the sun to you

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free

Again, I fought myself and lost
Come bite the apple and I'll crawl around your heart
I'm so happy to see you weep along
In these arms you belong

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free

Ave Maria we try
Ave Maria we cry
Ave Maria we Cry...!

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain
Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you get from me
Hail Maries (Hail Maries)
In the arms of rain we are free

(Mmmm) it's the end of a road, hold me
It's the end of a road
And we're free


9.Ode to Solitude

Easy on the eyes and easy on the heart
Sew my wrists shut
Sew my wrists shut with hope striaght into the light
Shining bright I dare you to dream this
And I dare you to dream this gone
What I wanna know is which makes you smile less

Here's to the pain,
The light of the oncoming train, Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

Map the scars of the heart
Bruised and torn
Loosen the noose up
Loosen the noose with love
What I wanna know is why
You keep me hangin'

Here's to the pain,
The light of the oncoming train, Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

If I should fail (and I will) to stay
Remember not to forget this feeling you have
I failed
Please pretend it never happened baby

Here's to the pain,
The light of the oncoming train, Come on
Ode to solitude in chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in chains

Here's to the pain,
The light of the oncoming train,
Come on
Ode to solitude in Chains
Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames
That we've been
Ode to solitude in Chains ...!

Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude


10.Shatter Me With Hope

The girl who cried at love
Won't you come and play with me?

You can be Cassandra
Underneath the sword of Damocles.. mmm
We'll tear this baby apart
Wise like Solomon

Won't, come shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out sorrow
Scream me a dream
Untouched by shadows
Baby shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope

She'll be the witness
To the repose of Nevelen

Push the needles in
To the canticles of ecstasy
Turn to page 43
And you'll know how I feel

Run, come shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream
Untouched by shadows
Baby shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope

Swear on your hearts grave that I'm wrong
And love like your life's depending on it 'cause it is!


We'll tear this baby apart
Wise like Solomon
Turn to page 43
And you'll know how I FEEL

Run, come shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream
Untouched by shadows
Baby shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
Oh, u oh
Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
Oh, u oh
Scream me a dream.....!
Scream me a dream.....!


11.Acoustic Funeral (For Love in Limbo)

You missed the winter
And it followed you back home
Where sun kissed the crimson
- footsteps in the melting snow
We are doing our best to disown the golden mean
By disacts of cruelty in the name of beauty to be free

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song for the acoustic funeral

On the verge of a vow -
- to kill all reason locking that door
To a nightmare within a nightmare
We are bound to adore
Let the pleasure in the shape of a heart lie to me
And finally confirm all fears to be so real

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song for the acoustic funeral

Underneath the ice so thin
I am turning blue (I'm turning blue)
The one last thing I know to be real
Is the shadow of you
Killing love with a kiss

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song

The acoustic funeral for love in limbo
We're dancing with tags on our toes
I saved my last breath for your window
To write you this song for the acoustic funeral

Lest we have to fall
For the acoustic funeral
Killing love with a kiss


12.Like St. Valentine

In the name of love lost
I'm frozen to her and I want you
To come build me a bridge soaked in
Gasoline and pass the torch.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine...
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive.
Like St. Valentine

Like the couple from Pompei,
Our drama's put on display.
Along with a dove, stuffed
In a coffin of glass entitled
'Love, Lust and the Holy Ghost'.

Those were the days.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive.
Like Saint Valentine.

Love's the only war worth dying for.
Build me up to knock me down,
I'm all yours.


Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive.

Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine,
Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive.
Like Saint Valentine.

Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine,
Like Saint Valentine


13.The Foreboding Sense of Impending Happiness

By your heart strings I'm hanging from a dream,
Gently swinging in the warm autumn breeze.
Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...
Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up, no more.

Tip toeing along a strand of your hair suspended between,
These thoughts and actions miles above reality.
Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...
Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...

Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...
Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...
Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...
Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up...
Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up.
