choking on the midnight black
(ing out moonlight from cracking through the window pane pane pain
painting with my blood shot eyes
eyes that find
the hands that always pull away
Ticking of the unseen clocking in and out of same old same insane you prey
This won’t last forever more or less or never always drift away on the midnight train
Broke myself into a million pieces
And now I know I’ll never be the same
I broke myself into a million pieces
And now I know I’ll never be the same
Clinging on to high hopes
Stagger on the tight rope
The safety net was long since pulled away
they’re giving me they pills -They’re keeping me straight
Swallow em down a bottle a day
Keeping me down and they’re numbing the pain
Can’t feel a thing it’s price that you pay
L la la la la la la la
I broke myself into a million little piece
And now I know I’ll never be the same

I’m never going back
I had enough of this and that
her beauty was a gift and curse
She split the red into the black
roll the dice
roll the dice
to stay alive
her snake eyes see my heart of stone
she cuts off all her hair
she escaped her lonely island
my medusa she ain't gonna die alone
Have you ever have you ever been to hell and back
I don’t think so
Have you ever seen the angels when they turn their backs
It’s the Coldest wind that blows
When Angels turn to stone
up to the table with my stack
to get this monkey off my sweat soaked back
double down but the game is fixed
it only itches when I scratch
roll the dice
roll the dice
to stay alive
her snake eyes see my heart of stone
she cuts off all her hair
she escaped her lonely island
my medusa she ain't gonna die alone
Have you ever have you ever been to hell and back
I don’t think so
Have you ever seen the angels when they turn their backs
It’s the Coldest wind that blows
When Angels turn to stone
Don’t seek help from the god you don’t believe in
Don’t feed the devil when he’s begging and he’s pleading
Have you ever have you ever been to hell and back
I don’t think so
Have you ever seen the angels when they turn their backs
It’s the Coldest wind that blows
When Angels turn to stone

Verse A
You rage from birth From the very first breath
your first day on earth is your furthest from death
A cold rolling stone you know you’ll never bleed
You need what you want you don’t want what you need
Verse B
Swallow the lies of a lullaby/lullabies
sweet melodies keep you blind
Tinkling diamonds they look so high
As we Look up from the gutter to the sky
pre
We’re digging up the truth in the promised land
If you wanna part the sea pull your head from the sand
Trip into the light and let your demons dance alone
we’ve come long long way from home
Chorus
It’s your first day on earth and you open your eyes
Crawl through the dirt search for the meaning of life
What is it worth all this money and time
It’s the end of the world
Let’s rage against the dying of the light
Verse A
They Follow the piper but he’s turned his back
The captain jumped ship long before all the rats
Drown in this plague as your flesh turns to black
Breathless…. We are cats in a sack
Verse B
Swallow the lies of a lullabies
sweet melodies keep you blind
Tinkling diamonds they look so high
As we Look up from the gutter to the sky
pre
We’re digging up the truth in the promised land
If you wanna part the sea pull your head from the sand
Trip into the light and let your demons dance alone
we’ve come long long way from home
Chorus
It’s your first day on earth and you open your eyes
Crawl through the dirt search for the meaning of life
What is it worth all this money and time
It’s the end of the world
Let’s rage against the dying of the light

If we leave our lovers then we’ll leave each other too
you’ll/you'd get bored of me you know/I know
and I’ll/I'd get bored of you
2
(((((Will we)))) Sacrifice a lifetime for the best time of our lives
Have your cake - eat it as you cut another slice
3
Give into another glass The wine sedates your soul
Slip into seduction, Hypnotised by the unknown
4
(I’ve seen) visions from the ether painting pictures of our lust/mistrust
We devour each other Til there’s nothing left of us
If we leave our lovers then we’ll leave each other too
CHORUS
Hold on to love
Don’t throw it all away
One taste of us is poison to your veins
Hold on to love tonight
5
(Drinking Coffee) after m-i-d-n-i-g-h-t - To sober up our thoughts
The guilt would eat us both alive long before we’re caught
6
If it’s meant to be I’ll love you in another life
But here in this reality you’re the wrong side of the knife
And if we leave our lovers then we'll leave each other too
CHORUS
Hold on to love
Don’t throw it all away
One taste of us is poison to your veins
Hold on to love tonight
7
Torch a thousand photographs collected over years
crackling in the Flames til we douse them with our tears
It’s too late the fire won The damage has been done
Just me in the photographs - The other halves have gone
Hold on to love
Don’t throw it all away
One taste of lust is poison to your veins
Hold on to love tonight
8
Won’t leave him he’s my lover / and i wont leave her for you
You have to Burn the bridge over to me / i’m over you
Burn the bridge over to me / I am over you
9
When I lay with my lover
There’s an inconvenient truth
There’s love beneath the covers
And yet i still think of ...
