In the late dark in a cold sweat I lay by your side Here we are in the same place we cover and hide Cover my mouth cover my eyes a stranger to myself In the late dark shadow of skin how long Must I go on not knowing how to say goodbye If you wanna go on ahead then go tonight With so much at stake just go tonight I won’t convince you to stay not this time In case I fall just go tonight In the late dark shadow of skin I lay by your side Here we are in the same place How long must we go on not knowing how To say goodbye not knowing when to say goodbye If you wanna go on ahead then go tonight I won’t convince you to stay not this time In case I fall just go tonight

Kintsu 02:56
Kintsu abducted by the fear of you Suffer no oxygen get me into trouble again Kintsu haunted by the figure of you Hunted by your sabretooth Will he stop at nothing again Kintsu looking in the mirror at you Oh lost flower of youth can you feel the failure again Kintsu abducted by the fear of you Suffer no oxygen only isolation Kintsu do you have the confidence Losing all consciousness just fire up the engine again Kintsu looking in the mirror at you Sinking into subterfuge Will he stop at nothing again

You're in the attic with the bats I caught you face up against the glass In other words you're losing it Can't help but think you're fading out Doesn't sound like moving on When all your words are so strung out In other words in other words You stayed the same when I was changing You’ll always be my wounded angel In other words there are no words In other words there are no words I'll be your mirror truth comes no warning You say it doesn't matter it always matters I'll be your mirror truth comes no warning You say it doesn't matter it always matters I'll be your mirror truth comes no warning You say it doesn't matter it always matters I'll be your mirror truth comes no warning You say it doesn't matter it always matters

All those photographs you take keep me guessin It’s this I can’t fake always keeping me guessin I know I must stay awake enough to pace the room Trapped inside these walls I’ve become consumed Not this one I’m too emotional Standing over me it’s too emotional On the dance floor you shake to the brink of collapsing I can’t seem to get away and I’ve found no answers It’s the same kind of escape from the flashing resentments When I feel what it’s coming to I cry out It’s too emotional and if it’s too emotional it’s too emotional admit it’s too emotional In the photograph you wait to become a chameleon We all wear our hearts when it’s too emotional It’s too emotional and if it’s too emotional it’s too emotional admit it’s too emotional It’s too emotional and if it’s too emotional Admit it’s too emotional admit it’s too emotional It’s too emotional

Draw Upon 03:43
I could draw upon your whisper in my ear Save it for the last I could draw upon you now forever always Looking heavenly tonight as the evening rolls by Under chandelier lights Take my hand dry your eyes Can I have this dance all the way to the grave Within the very next day I’ll be in touch With no time to waste dive in head first Buy a little house buy a little smile At least a little while I could draw upon your chamber All my years until the very last I could draw upon you now forever always Looking heavenly tonight as the evening rolls by Under chandelier lights As the evening rolls by Who will you draw upon tonight

Will you find some life to live you won’t always love me You won’t always need me When sunlight comes lie to my face You will always need me you will always love me There’s no way to rewind by design Like the blind leading the blind you won’t always see me Think of my face crooked smile laughter for awhile But do what you want do what you must Do what you will applies stick the gun to my heart Do what you want do what you must Do what you will implies I know it’s gonna hurt Leave it be too easy I know I can’t allow I can’t live without real love begging please stand aside Let me pass unharmed untried They keep haunting me those lies Still a lie they must collide So do what you want do what you must Do what you will implies I know it’s gonna hurt Do what you want do what you must Do what you will applies stick the gun to my heart Do what you want do what you must Do what you will implies how much its gonna hurt Do what you want do what you must Do what you will implies I know it’s gonna hurt Do what you will

My plane is here gonna crash land If only I could if I could remember how Who cares who won all the money you lost When you can't manage anything Anything at all anything at all And now some time has passed it's another decade You find you’re out of love like so many times before So who needs the sun who needs the rain When you can't change anything anything at all Don't take this personal I won't be your prisoner I won't be a souvenir or anything at all Anything at all can't have it all can't have it all None at all anything at all anything at all anything at all anything at all

I’m always a passenger driving in your car We go on far away here you are Looking out for my heart forgive me if I fall apart We go on must go on I’m always coming second best But it hasn’t come to blows just yet so we go on In your car far away here you are Looking out for my heart fall apart We go on in your car We go right through young zoom Right back to our doom We go on Apollo heart must go on Apollo heart In your car must go on Coming back to your love saw you cry Like I’ve never seen before don’t let go and don’t resist Don’t wish me well when I fall into your lap I’m still your passenger right to the end I’m still your passenger right to the end I’m still your passenger

Can I buy you a drink with mixed feelings No time for a sentiment for a life of disarray On the tightrope again can you spare a little change On the verge of a mental break Who blocks his own escape You know he’s got the curse make no mistake On the tightrope again can you spare a little change You turned and said I don’t know how Because you see me in constant shame to find the ways Pray confess accept me for who I am Can you find another place to lay your head down Where the solitude turns like a silent disco What I wouldn’t give to start again Can we find another place where the echoes cave in Alas I heard the cry out rosebud came it came to end You turned and said I don’t know how Because you see me in constant shame you find the ways I can’t compare if only you could wait out there You turned and said I don’t know how because you See me as a constant shame define the ways pray confess Accept me for who I am On the tightrope again on the tightrope again On the tightrope again on the tightrope again On the tightrope again

When you’re sick with fever and need so much attention Working your best to maneuver Back inside divide he could never forgive himself I was so convinced I knew what it was Don’t worry about a thing You’re gonna learn to love someday Before you descend back into your madness We could meet half way and take a few breaths Then it’s not impossible You’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna love somehow you’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna learn to love someday Are you lost in confusion full of indecision Running on fumes to the funeral Will these promises break to fade really was intentional all along I was left to wonder how I knew not to worry about a thing You’re gonna love someday you’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna love somehow you’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna learn to love someday you’re gonna love somehow
