I want you to hold me
Perpendicularly only
A sundial for the gods
We were born, born to fail
I want you to hold me
Perpendicularly only
A sundial for the gods
We were born, born to fail

Yes, I feel sweet emotion every time you’re near me
Every time you are near
I said, I feel sweet emotion every time you’re near me
Every time you are near

‘Cause my monsters are real, and they’re trained how to kill And there’s no comin’ back and they just laughed at how I feel And these monsters can fight, and they’ll never say die And there’s no goin’ back, if I get trapped I’ll never heal Yeah, my monsters are real

We took a walk that night, but it wasn’t the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn’t scream while I held her close
I swore I’d never let her go

When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I’m underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be

Now you look for love in the times of hate
How many swipes for a blow of fate
You keep the light on
You keep the light on
You keep the night light on

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

It’s so safe to play along Little soldiers in a row Falling in and out of love With something sweet to throw away. But I want something good to die for To make it beautiful to live.

Hear these words, awake:
– Make the most out of your day
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
That we’re allowed to stay

There’s a world within me that I cannot explain
Many rooms to explore, but the doors look the same
I am lost, I can’t even remember my name

There’s no magic bullet, no cure for pain What’s done is done, ’til you do it again Life in pursuit of a nameless prey I’ve been so close, I’m so far away It’s so hard to explain, so easy to feel I need you now, nothing is real Save me from the villains of circumstance Before I lose my place

So I can cry for my age,

my life and my face

And I will wash off all the dirty Dirty thoughts I had about you

And I can cry ’cause I got so much she has not

All your girls they are riding white horses
In their pale skin with mirrors aligned
I know why you want those – they are easy
See the slaves climb the mountain of life

All you ever get from the sonnet is the count of the fallen man

Every calling cost made to your heart

You were in the kind of game that put the force in me

I was ever chasing fireflies

Go on look to the stars

For the answer

Your image I’ve painted with love

You’re a dancer

You’re all wrong, I said
And they stared to the sand
That man knows the sea like the back of his hand
He’ll be back some time
Laughing at you

Κι αν κάποτε χάθηκα,
Κι αν έψαχνα απαντήσεις να βρω μπροστά μου
Μέσα στο φως ξαφνικά,
Είδα να παίρνουν φωτιά τα όνειρά μου

So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearin’ at the seams
I wish I could escape it, I don’t wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe

I have these thoughts, so often I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
‘Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
