Nervous Energy

2nd song off of Cold.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Oh I am bound, tonight, by all the lies I have told
I'm scarred inside and scared to death to find a life of my own
I know I'm the cause of all my doubts and though I'll repent for all my faults
I don't deserve anything from you, you should not waste your love ...

But I'll try to disguise all my fears and to find some peace in between storms,
Yeah I'll rage and I'll fight to silence my mind that screams "you'll soon be gone"
So please, mend my sickened thoughts and forgive all that I've done
Cause what I need is just a little time inside for my heart to shake off the cold ...

Chorus

I'm so tired to hope in vain
So hold my hands and I,
Will do all that I can
So that new lights will shine

I know that there's a place
So far from pain and strife
I know I'll find a way
(I) just gotta see your eyes ...

Verse 2

Hold on to me
Show me how to live
Or break what's left inside
And leave me here, alone to die ...

Leave me here alone by the side of road
Cause in the cold I am home
Yeah you know me I'm
Still frozen, still hopeless, 
Still broken, still falling
AND
There's no reason why you've stayed this long
You can't save what's always been lost
No, there's nothing that you could have done
But don't forget me when I'll be cold ...

CHORUS

Cold

A Trick of the Light

Fool

Everything's fine

Yeah!

Words are not reality

Journeying across worlds

The ballad of cool lane

Mental
