What is this feeling that borders on something primal?
What takes a normal man, and turns him animal?
Didn't I promise you'd be the only one?
This isn't jealousy...it's a loaded gun

Pointed straight at your chest, a bullet through the heart that
You said was only mine

But how could you ever lie?
I thought that I could trust you
Look what you made me do

I was a fool to believe all your promises
They were a trap to keep me inside your bed
Those aren't crimson tears running down your side
This isn't apathy...it's a bloodied knife

Slashing out at your throat, cutting through the words that
Were dripping every night

But how could you ever lie?
You said that I could trust you
But every word you'd say was trying to get away
Don't you think that I'd see through?
Oh, look what you made me do

Come back dear, I...
Come back dear, I...
Come back dear, I...miss you
Come back dear, I...
Come back dear, I...
Come back dear, I...need you to clean up all the lies

Cuz I've had enough of dying
You said that I could trust you
But every word you'd say was trying to shift the blame
Don't you think I bleed too?
Give me just one more try
Cuz I'm not the one who lied
Now all of the blood's on you
Oh my darling, look what you made me do

Siren

I came down that old road today
It haunts my thoughts, and calls my name
Anywhere I roam
I drove till I could barely see
Well it's all for you...you might disagree
But it always felt like home

We should take our time
But could you find your way
And would you know
It was all you wanted...

Fifteen years of bleeding leave a mark you cannot hide
Fifteen more will cauterize the wound
Are you out there searching for a better pound of flesh to bruise?
Cuz we go down, down, down for you

I waited up here all night long
Just to watch your flight, just to hear your song
But only caught the tune
I found the words that you left behind
Full of empty dreams that killed your life
Still wet with morning's dew

And that won't change my mind
But would it change the way that you would know
This was all you needed...

Fifteen years of running took your far away from home
Fifteen more leave not much else to lose
Are you still out looking for the love you know you could never find?
Cuz we go down, down, down for you

I'll give it one more day
I won't give up, no
I would scream your name out loud
Cuz the search is already done
Was it all you wanted
Was it all that you needed too?
Cuz it's all I've got

Fifteen years of fighting leave you bloodied and alone
Fifteen more were hardly yours to choose
So if you're finally tired of picking love up off the floor
It's okay, yeah, it's okay
Cuz we go down, down, down
Cuz we go down, down, down
We go down, down, down...for you

A Million Holes

Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in
Where do we begin. To get clean again
Can we get clean again

I walk home alone with you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
I can't get clean again.
I want to know, Can we get clean again

The God of Wine comes
crashing through the headlights of a car
That took you farther than
You thought you'd ever want to go

We can't get back again
We can't get back again

She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way
And cancels out the day

And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I cannot erase
All alone on your face

Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack
A fraudulent zodiac

And the God of Wine
is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it
Now I'm going down
And you're not even around

And I said no
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I can't keep it all together
I can't keep it all together...

And there's a memory of a window
Looking through I see you
Searching for something
I could never give you

And there's someone who
Understands you more than I do
With the sadness I cannot erase
All alone on your face

God of Wine (Cover)

--------------------------

Here inside your eyes
I could lose myself forever
Is it a moment? Or a lifetime? 
The futures we will dream...together

The faithful march of time has lost its rhythm
As we dance along this silent night
The only sound I hear is the beating of your heart...
On top of mine

I want to say everything, my love
But I couldn't say it all at once
I want to throw open these doors, and let you through
But they've been locked for far too long

And I could never find the key...
I could never find the key

The steady pull of gravity has weakened
As we float upon this midnight air
The only light I see is the shining of your heart...
Reflecting in mine

I want to say everything, my love
But I couldn't say it all at once
I want to throw open these doors, and let you through
But they've been locked for far too long

And I could never find the key
I could never find the key

And no matter the distance
I feel you draw me farther in

I can't escape the song I'm hearing
Your melody is haunting me

If I close my eyes...
Even in my dreams...
You are always there

I want to say everything, my love
But I couldn't say it all at once
I want to throw open these doors, and let you through
But they've been locked for far too long

I want to say everything, my love
But a word could never say enough
So I'll tear down all these walls, to get to you
I swear I'll find a way, somehow
I promise you will be enough
I swear I'll find your heart, somehow

:-)
