Born In The Desert
|
And the colors of the sky wane blue
And we’ll make it if we never go
And the tidal waves are making me sick
And the mystery remains Why is everything so slow?
And we’ll make it if we never go
And the tidal waves are making me sick
And the mystery remains Why is everything so slow?
Once I was lonely
Before you came to know me
Once I was innocent
I knew you too early
Before I knew a thing about me
You showed me how to sin
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
All smoke, no fire
But you had my mind
Twisted up
Around your lovely lies
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
You promised me freedom
From darkness and demons
You cast all the shadows out
As long as I praised you
And loved you and paid you
And bottled up every doubt
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
Dead leaves and no branches
Your smoke signal dances
Once I believed, but you cannot fool me anymore
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
Before you came to know me
Once I was innocent
I knew you too early
Before I knew a thing about me
You showed me how to sin
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush

Grey morning
Aftermath is falling from my eyes
no warning
I’m shell-shocked from the chaos of last night
I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before
You saw a side of me I only save for war
I’m on the floor…
In the Fallout, Fallout
Fallout, Fallout
We both lit the fuse
How will we make it through
the Fallout, Fallout
Oooh…
Grey morning
my face is wet my mouth is dry
words forming
to apologize but then I’ll lose the fight
I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before
You saw a side of me I only save for war
I’m on the floor…
In the Fallout, Fallout
Fallout, Fallout
We both lit the fuse
How will we make it through
the Fallout, Fallout
Oooh…
your face is covered in ashes and dust,
the air is colder in the space between us
Is this armageddon, is this how it ends?
In the Fallout, Fallout (4x)
Oooh…
Aftermath is falling from my eyes
no warning
I’m shell-shocked from the chaos of last night
I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before

Coffee tastes the same every day
My simple things that I repeat
I don’t think I’ve missed a thing
No emptiness, no hollow needs
Then I think of you
There is a depth I’ve never reached
A pulse I’ve never felt
There is a death waiting to breathe
There you are in my mind
With your father’s eyes
There you are in my mind
The first time you smile
There you are in my mind
There you are in my mind
Take you all the places I love
Desert in May, June on the coast
Hold your head when you get sick
Sing the same songs over and over
The first time that your heart breaks
I’ll sit with you, no need to speak
But there I go again
Slipping away to who you could be
There you are in my mind
With your father’s eyes
There you are in my mind
The first night you get high
There you are in my mind
There you are in my mind
You push a muscle in my heart
I’ve never used before
Just when I don’t think
There is room for any more
There you are in my mind
With your father’s eyes
There you are in my mind
The only you I will find
There you are in my mind
There you are in my mind
There you are
There you are
There you are
My simple things that I repeat
I don’t think I’ve missed a thing
No emptiness, no hollow needs
Then I think of you
There is a depth I’ve never reached
A pulse I’ve never felt
There is a death waiting to breathe

There you are
There you are
There you are
I learned to speak to say your name
I learned to see if you felt the same
I learned to hold just to hold on
Learned it better when you were gone
You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn
You are all I know
You will never have nowhere to go
I’ll carve my life to fit in yours
I’ll kill the dreams that came before
throw my soul into the flame
just to bring you home again
You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn
You are all I know
You will never have nowhere to go
Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere…
Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere…
You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn
You are all I know
You will never have nowhere to go
I learned to see if you felt the same

You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn

Hey you in the mirror
I hate that I hate you
Your eyes full of anger
Skin so thin you see right through
I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes
Warpaint to hide what I can’t control
Words be my army, smile be my sword
Tonight you can’t harm me, tonight this is war
Tonight this means war, oh… (2x)
Tonight this means war
Hey you in the mirror
I tried to be your friend
Your voice keeps getting meaner
How long can I pretend?
I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes
Warpaint to hide what I can’t control
Words be my army, smile be my sword
Tonight you can’t harm me, tonight this is war
Tonight this means war, oh… (2x)
Tonight this means war
I’ll face you now
I’ll face you down
I’m stronger than before
You can’t hurt me anymore
Tonight this means war, oh… (2x)
Tonight this means war
I hate that I hate you
Your eyes full of anger
Skin so thin you see right through
I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes
Warpaint to hide what I can’t control

There once was a man who’d sell you a dream
he’d spin you a story from silken strings
weaving visions you’ve never seen
one silver dollar would buy you a dream
Oooh…
His loom wove patterns of lives intertwined
stories to move your heart and your mind
adventures that wander through faraway lands
inventions that alter the lives of man
Dreams
dreams for sale, dreams for sale…”
One winter the shop took a turn for the worse
people doubted his dreams, questioned their worth
fewer customers came through his doors
no-one remembers what dreaming is for
He closed up his shop and grew cold in the streets
begging for scraps and peddling dreams
His beautiful stories threadbare and thin
No-one could spare a penny for him
(instrumental)
His body grew weak, his mind grew frail
unraveling sanity starting to fail
and from his lips, cracked and pale
repeated the words “Dreams for sale…”
He held in his hands his very last thread
He knew that this spot was his finishing bed
then what he saw he could hardly believe
a little boy sitting and sewing a dream
Singing “ Dreams
dreams for sale, dreams for sale…”

I’m drawn into the darkness
Like a moth into the flame
All the demons know me
They call me by my name
I know that I’ve been hiding
I feel like I’m alone
Choosing to be blind
to things I can’t control, but don’t go….
Look into the stars
Look into the stars
We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
I can’t pretend to understand
The things that make you break
I’ll try my best to stop myself
From calling your mistakes
I know that you are hiding
You feel like you’re alone
Choosing to be blind
To things you can’t control, But don’t go
Look into the stars
Look into the stars
We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
Throw yourself into the old light
Throw yourself into the old light
it’s not just about the sunrise
There is beauty in the dark times
Look into the stars
Look into the stars
We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
Like a moth into the flame
All the demons know me
They call me by my name
I know that I’ve been hiding
I feel like I’m alone
Choosing to be blind
to things I can’t control, but don’t go….

We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
The stars are so close,
They are just out of reach
All that I need
Is a flying machine
I’m building a contraption
To fly me to my dreams
Everyone is laughin’
Well, they can laugh at me
Cuz I’m too old to be a dreamer, too young to die in bed
I don’t listen to the cynics, listen to my soul instead
If I never learn the secret to this flying machine
Just watch… one day I’ll grow wings
I work every day
On my flying machine
But work isn’t work
When you’re workin’ for a dream
You can call me crazy
Maybe I’ve lost my mind
Sometimes I’m afraid
That I’m just wastin’ time
Will you join me for the ride
Holding hands and starry-eyed
If we never leave the ground
Broken wings won’t bring us down
At least we can say
We had fun along the way
Cuz I’m too old to be a dreamer, too young to die in bed
I don’t listen to the cynics, listen to my soul instead
If I never learn the secret to this flying machine
Just watch… one day I’ll grow wings
They are just out of reach

You want to know right now
But you’re a pool of doubts
Running down some empty road
Thinking time is running out
Take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
You try to outrun fate
You’ve come a long way
You’ve got so long left to go
You wonder how much you can take
So you take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
It takes a lot of days to make a life
Every day has so little black and white
It takes a lot of steps to make a life
Every step takes you through your night
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
But you’re a pool of doubts
Running down some empty road
Thinking time is running out
Take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
You try to outrun fate
You’ve come a long way
You’ve got so long left to go
You wonder how much you can take
So you take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it

And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
It takes a lot of days to make a life
Every day has so little black and white
It takes a lot of steps to make a life
Every step takes you through your night
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
It took me in the blink of an eye
My body empty, my soul undersigned
I’m captive, I watch them confess
To the devil in his Sunday best
I can’t stop him, I don’t stand a chance
I’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance
We’re divided, maybe we can stand
Maybe we can…
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Every morning, feel you when I wake
Wash myself of your sins and shame
I can hear your hollow pointed lies
I can see it bloody in your eyes
We can’t stop him, we don’t stand a chance
We’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance
We’re divided, maybe we can stand
Maybe we can….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Hell is empty, the devils run free
The wicked in you knows the wicked in me
I dance, you dangle the strings
But I’ll be damned if I give you everything
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
My body empty, my soul undersigned
I’m captive, I watch them confess
To the devil in his Sunday best
I can’t stop him, I don’t stand a chance
