Lyrics:

White hot, was the flame
And I, don’t want to get burned 
Again and again 
I lay down by the fire
Couldn’t sleep
For fear of being burned alive, alive

Chorus
Give me a radiator now
Something to keep me warm
On the coldest nights
On something I can rely
I want a radiator now
Something that won’t hurt
When the fires run wild

You’re ablaze
You ignite
Flying high
Like a meteor ripping the night, tonight
But down below, a glowing ember, ever tender
Hides a light that is shining so bright, tonight

Repeat chorus

Middle 8
I don’t know: I don’t see, I don’t hear, I don’t feel
I don’t care I don’t heal
I won’t tear
I won’t bleed

Lyrics:
Tell me the truth in the next world
Tell me how you feel in the next world
No consequence in the next world
It won't hurt in the next world
 
Towers are glowing in the next world
Rivers are blotting in the next world
The sunrise burns in the next world
It won't hurt in the next world
 
Chorus
I see you
But can't feel you

Tear down the veil for all to see
An operation or reality
For you have invaded me
My home, my country
My enemy
 
Chorus
I see you
But can't feel you

Doric Arches (Music and lyrics written by Hook)

We could steal the night
We can see forever
In the blink of an eye
I was looking all this time
Now I can see forever
In the blink of your eyes

Seas are rising
We are crumbling down
Like Doric Arches now
Oh Oh
And we keep burning clues
Leading to you
What else could we do?

And by lilac candle light
We could find a place to hide 
Down below, on a high
A dream still echoes in my mind
That I will see forever
In the blink of your eyes

Seas are rising
We are crumbling down
Like Doric Arches now
Oh Oh
And we keep burning clues,
And bleeding for you
Well what else could we do?

Oh Oh
I've seen it before
And lord only knows
I wanted to go
But it won't let me go
I've seen it before
Written all on the walls
Of a stone cold prison cell

I've seen it before
And lord only knows
I wanted to go
But it won't let me go
I've seen it before, a
Runaway train of thought
Through the burning fires of hell

Seas are rising
We are crumbling down
Like Doric Arches now
Oh Oh
And we keep burning clues,
And bleeding for you
Well what else could we do?

Lyrics:

I know you’re tired
Of wasting your time
You wandered down
Another place we found
But it’s alright
The feelings weren't right
You wonder now
How we go round and round

Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
Lay a seed and pray
That’s heaven’s scent will linger
Where do we go from here?
Run away my dear
But I don’t know where

On a mountain high
On a cold winter’s night
The tears roll down
And turn to ice
I’d steal for you
Do anything for you
Your eyes
Paradise

Repeat chorus

Lover
Can I lay by your side?
Oh, I wanted to lay
Down by your side

I know you’re tired
Of wasting your time
