Empty hearts and broken minds
you're staring with an ugly smile
at me up on a stage
I don't know what you come here for
I build a wall I close the door
still you won't go away
And I have found my place in this world
far away from all who'd say would you be mine tonight.
And I have found my role inside this ugly dream
It's closing scene, still I'm alone up here
Lovers are another breed
I am from a different seed
spawn mystery and hate
My metamorphosis brings doom
prisoner in a silent room
and there is no escape
I feel all the love that's in me
disappear and no one's here
to resurrect my faith.
So I will stay inside forever,
god damn the moon its romantic hue
it only shines for two... and I am one
Empty bars and smoky night
you disappear before my eyes
I'm back here in my room

The Fortunate Few
02:47

They say that true love it will come to those who wait
It's written in the stars it's a mystery of fate
but I've never known this to be true
'less of course my friend, you're one of the fortunate few
If you have found yourself next to the one you love
and the old moon's shining in the heavens up above
I hope it has occurred to you
that you are indeed, one of the fortunate few
I'll just stay here in my room, all on my own
nobody to talk to, just dreaming of you
and wishing to be one of the fortunate few
I walk out late at night alone down lover's lane
as they walk home arm and arm I'm left out in the rain,
just me and mister solitude
oh no I've never been, one of the fortunate few
I'll just stay here in this room, all on my own
nobody to talk to, just dreaming of you
and wishing to be one of the fortunate few
There's really nothing you can do
'cause true love belongs
just to the fortunate few

Silent Room
04:37

I have a silent room
where I spend many hours
my only shelter from the storm.
I know I'll never leave,
I have resigned unto myself
I am a stranger in your world
And I know I'll never see
you smiling as you reach for me
you crying as you cling to me
saying never let me go
And I know I'll never be
the one who keeps you warm at night
who holds you close in morning light,
the savior of your soul.
I tell you everything,
in conversations with myself
but when I see you I'm a stone.
I watch you from afar,
like some peculiar distant star
and when you leave I feel alone.
I'll stay inside my silent room
protected from that lovers moon
that shines so bright tonight for you
wherever you may be.
And when I die they'll find me here,
alone beside that empty chair
lying solemn with a frozen stare
and a note I wrote for you
says save me from this silent room

Premonitions
03:20
|

|
There's a sickness deep within my soul
each passing day I feel it taking hold
and pulling me, to a place I do not want to be
And the premonitions come
And I see me here all alone
Though I know you're here in my arms
I watch you fade...
premonitions taking you away
There's a legion deep within my brain
forces there too numerous to name,
behind my eyes, demons painting pictures
in my mind
And I feel them there all the time
And the future's theirs it's not mine
When these premonitions subside
there you lay, like a flower on a grave
premonitions taking you away
