Empire
02:40

I know that it’s gone too far
But there is no turning back
There’s smoke in the rear-view mirror
A B-movie without the soundtrack
We built a castle out of cards
In a town called Hurricane
Now the wrecking ball is a lifeboat
A rolling stone on the wrong lane
(Taka me back to where I belong
Take me back to when it’s not over)
All these roads should have led to you
Where have you gone to my love?
I’ll decide when it’s over
But even empires fall apart

Crossfire
03:50
|
|||
|
I only told you honest lies
If you close your eyes I got nothing to hide
How can you say love isn't blind?
All you saw was Jekyll, all you got was Hyde
I can't let you go you're in my blood
I'll see you again after the flood
You cannot tell me all is lost
We shine like diamonds and we’ll never rust
How could I leave this behind?
We're caught in the crossfire
But we'll be alright
In future hindsight
Another timeless melody
A misunderstood masterpiece
How can you say you don’t believe?
When you're already on your knees

Blue Neon Moon
02:59
|
|||
|
Go to sleep
Count the black electric sheep
We might die one day
But I'm pretty sure we'll never bleed
You're in my brain
Swinging from your ball and chain
I would ask you to leave
But I guess that this is public domain
Blue neon moon
Take your time
Don't let anyone make up your mind
Don't follow just to follow
Baby you are one of some kind
Connect with me
I'll like for you eternity
I'm so glad I found you
But I sure hope we'll never meet
Do your lips taste the same up in the cloud
Is love just a never ending blackout
The sky is black but there's a light that never goes out
Android angels are singing hymns autotuned
The drones are slow dancing while I make love to you
As I lie motionless under a blue neon moon

Cold War Love
03:41
|
|||
|
The ground was red your eyes were Prussian blue
Love is a watchtower I'm just here for the view
I know this was never ever meant to be
But our seeds in trenches will grow up to be trees
I don't give a damn
If it doesn't make any sense
Love in self defense
This cold war love is keeping me warm at night
I would be lost without your satellite
I'll hold you so tight they can't tell us apart
You are the spy I keep close to my heart
The earth moves, the ground shakes
And now we’re even more out of place
The war is over until we see each other again
(I built you a wall to bring you down)

Summer Rain
04:08
|
|||
|
Summer rain on a winters day
As the sun dances with the stars
And this constant pain won't go away
Living is a dying art
Some cheap perfume and a house of ruins
Is all that's left behind
The ashtray is full in an empty room
And your still on my mind
I know someday I’ll regret this but not tonight
I know someday I’ll regret this but tonight is not the night
Summer rain on a cloudless day
I was always there but not quite
And I hope that you are doing great
Just a little worse than I
Nobody gave me a warning
Nobody gave me a sign
But if you insist that we're falling
I must insist that we climb

Wolves
03:34
|
|||
|
Please put your bloody fangs back around my heart
You are the chaser to my false head start
I'll bend your broken rules
Who cares about the truth
When it's showtime
You're the best kind of trouble a boy can find
You stroke my ego as you fucked my mind
I'll bend your broken rules
Who cares about the truth
When it's showtime
Honey you can't hide your roots when you're howling at the moon
Honey you can't hide your roots when you're dancing with the wolves
If it's fight or flight I'm in hiding tonight
History is mine to rewrite
I'll bend your broken rules
Who cares about the truth
When it's showtime
You’re the best kind of trouble a boy can find
Star-crossed eyed lover leading the blind
I'll bend your broken rules
Who cares about the truth
When it's showtime
Come on love let me let you down again

Repeat
03:21
|
|||
|
Give me time
Give me space
Give me a chance then laugh in my face
Give me a god so I can give you hell
Give me highs
Give me lows
Give me your freedom with nowhere to go
Give me a god so I can give you hell
You can't change the name of the game in defeat
Now you're just a song in my head on repeat
The wrong man
In the wrong place
Like the whole human race
Give me a god so I can give you hell
Give me life
Give me a self
And I'll pretend to be someone else
Give me a god so I can give you hell

Holy Water
03:37
|
|||
|
Oh my my is this really our last life?
I will follow
Wherever you go I'll go
But if you're drowning I'm walking on water
You can go with the flow but wherever you go I go
I’ll be with you till the end
We’re floating in a cesspool of sin

Hatchlings
02:32
|
|||
|
I woke up in a hall of black mirrors
Playing a broken Spanish guitar
A missed rendezvous with your scars
I love how you keep me in the dark
In the trunk of a getaway car
Meet me by the beacon in the desert
Next to the road you'll never take
When you crack the code you'll never break
I lost my head to a headache
Fighting for you in world war eight
The hatchlings are in the mosh pit
The end of the world at the nearest exit
How soon is never I look forward to it
Come what may
You are a punchline to my horrible joke
That's why your tongue is stuck in my throat
Here's to us lovely future ghosts
My beautiful germ I'll be your host
Lift your holy grail for one last toast

The Last Waltz
03:26
|
|||
|
The night is over, the lights are all on
The DJ is drooling as he plays the last song
There are socks on the ceiling and piss on the ground
I was chasing my own tail as I fell face down
I guess I'm throwing the fight
The last waltz is tonight
A few hours ago, everything made sense
Now I'm dancing alone to total silence
My head’s in the toilet but my heart is with you
When we wake up tomorrow we'll be introduced
I always thought the last waltz
Would be with you
