Текст песни:

More than you know it I′m aware
Of this connection that we share
I know it seems like sometimes I don′t care
But you are the colors that I wear

It′s been a few hours, nearly dawn
You′ve been real quiet all along
Now, I cannot help but think there′s something wrong
Hey baby, what′s going on?

3 AM we seemed alright, couldn′t be better
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone, along with when there′s nothing wrong
3 AM it seemed alright

If I have been thoughtless, let me know
I can take a hint you know, though I′m a little slow
Don′t keep it in you, lest it take root and grow
The bottom line here′s I love you so

3 AM we seemed alright, couldn′t be better
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone, along with when there′s nothing wrong
3 AM it seemed alright

3 AM we seemed alright, like never better
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone, along with when there′s nothing wrong
3 AM it seemed alright

3 AM...

Текст песни:

You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can′t hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart

But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it′s bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form

How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven shining down

Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it′s throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform

How I wish you′d only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you

My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do

I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew

How I wish you′d only see...

What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I′ve built around my pseudo world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass along

I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity′s waiting alone

How I wish you′d only see...

@ Poets Of The Fall

Текст песни:

Looking at the road that rises up ahead,
I thought I’d learned a thing or two…
But this is where it’s all made new, and I–
I gotta throw my hands up
‘Cause I can’t go on if I can’t stop.

Look,
The leaves are dead…
The moments gone, there’s no surrender;
Forever now unsaid,
The words that might have warmed December.
It’s all inside your head,
Like fragments of a dream you remember,
So never mind your clever mind, never mind me.

Staring at the ceiling from my bed,
I thought I’d earned a chance or few…
I thought I’d be paid in due
Time isn’t made for waiting,
And past isn’t worth debating.

Look,
The leaves are dead…

Feeling like a fool again…
Just need a new direction,
A new beginning, new beginning…
I can’t hold back and I can’t hold on,
It’s all about gratification;
See me running, see me running…

Look,
The leaves are dead…

@ Poets Of The Fall

Текст песни:

Rolling down the freeway, master to the speed of light,
Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night
No rest, I′ve stayed here too long, It′s time to move on

Reality′s a three way, a scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines
If there′s ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame

And you can give me everything I need this way
We′ll be loving till the first light of the day

Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?

Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good
With constant companions, would that I could
Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me

So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I′ve seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms

And you can give me everything I need this way…

Set the world on fire...

Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun
I give you the reason I′m still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon

Set the world on fire...

@ Poets Of The Fall

Текст песни:

I hear a sigh, longing for loving in this life
The how and the why, that keeps us running through the night
Touching divine, for me it has only your face
I′m looking to find pieces of wisdom I′ve misplaced

I don′t make the rules dear
You don′t hear the symphony I hear
We don′t get a dollar bill for every shining tear

Fictitious and so real
Love′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
So precious, yet surreal
Life′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah

Witnessing fault in every pawn in the game
The only one called proudly answers to my name
No I don′t know why love is a thief in the night
The one that you try, is your most devoted guide

We don′t make the rules dear
We don′t hear the symphony they hear
We don′t get a dollar bill for every shining tear

Fictitious and so real
Love′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
So precious, yet surreal
Life′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah

So thank you for choosing me, playing me, displaying me
And selling me to slavery, yeah
Thank you for using me, flaying me, erasing me
Awarding me for bravery

Fictitious and so real
Love′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
So precious, yet surreal
Life′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah

Текст песни:

Fatal velocity, comes on with a rush, overpowering, gives the final push

What never moves, is never still, who has the final word
It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide
So run for your life

A false sincerity, a liar and a thief, my pulse and memory, a comfort within grief

What never moves, is never still, who has the final word
It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide

Given into this sensation, feel I′ve run too far
Cannot see beyond emotion, see what the options are
With no faith to trust the notion, I fear I′m losing all control

Kill...

@ Poets Of The Fall

Текст песни:

In these days of manmade wonders,
We still bicker over flies…
When you come seeking for forgiveness
I’ll be forced to choose my side.
If I deny you what you’re searching,
Do I do it out of fear?
Am I ruling out my reason,
Killing that which I hold dear?

Out of my way, I’m running with an excuse just underway;
Reality’s so daunting, and I’ve got no way to explain.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name
Why do I turn away and run?
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

In the light of recent findings,
There’s no greater taint than grace,
But to relinquish all our bindings,
Always finds us out of place.
If I rested here a while more,
Would you hold me to your heart?
If I knew what it was meant for,
Would I know to play my part?

Out of my way, I’m leaving;
Another excuse before I’ll stay.
Reality’s applauding;
I know I don’t know the right way.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know you’re the one.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles
Like my darkness closing in,
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands…

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know the good I’ve done.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

Текст песни:

Sometimes I know there′s nothing to say.
So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away?
Do I follow my conscience?
Am I mock sincere?
I don′t know what I′m doing here.

I have a knack for perceiving things.
I can see how it sounds.
I can feel how it sings.
When you paint me an image of who you are,
I know it′s the best by far.

So,
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess my hair, if all you do is fake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t say you care, cos I could never shake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.

No point of view is enough to quell,
the rigors of passion in this world I dwell.
If I′m going to scale the highest wall,
I′m gonna give it my all.

Riding along with this train of thought,
I see everything, I find all I sought.
And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach.
But there′s something I do beseech.

So please,
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess my hair, if all you do is fake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t say you care, cos I could never shake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.

I′ll say it′s not surprising.
You′re sweet talking, mesmerizing, juicy and appetizing.
True.
But will I need to get over you?

Feels like my sun is rising.
Tick, tick, tick, synchronizing, readjusting, organizing me.
Is this fiction reality?

Bless the uncompromising
with no shame for advertising
when my needs go through downsizing
I need someone to pick up my beat.

My dreams need realizing.
Candles on sugar icing.
Judgment and harmonizing,
or it′ll end up like before.

Don′t, don′t, don′t mess my hair, if all you do is fake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t say you care, cos I could never shake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.

Текст песни:

Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I′m the one not laughing
Down here on the floor

Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I′ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I′ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I′ll dream you... wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can′t let you go

Mercy, like water in a desert
Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now

Another place and time...

I′ll dream you... wide awake

It′s like I′m racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
Cos I′m afraid I will be left here without you
Like I′m racing not to run, give more when I have none
Cos I′m afraid I will be left here without you... wide awake

Another place and time...

I′ll dream you... wide awake.
