BLACK IS THE COLOUR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HEART (Utley) She's my bad addiction Can't leave it alone Jet black loose strap death trap Can't leave it alone
She's slow-motion murder Can't leave it alone Blood red skin shed death bed Can't leave it alone
She's my own Medusa But my heart is the stone Snow white skin tight last night Can't leave it alone
LOVESTRUCK (English) I have no reason to be hopeful That he could ever feel the same How can he notice one so humble? Why should he even know my name?
For days on end I hope to see him On the off chance his eyes meet mine Walking with girls that don't deserve him I watch him closely for my sign
My friends all say that I am foolish They say I'll have myself to blame Once we're together I'll discover Having and wanting aren't the same
CONFESSION (Utley) I cannot justify the things that I've done wrong All I can do is try to do better from now on
I'm not the man I see reflected in your eyes But I will try to be until the day I die
I stand outside your door and watch you while you sleep So pure and beautiful, it drives me to my knees
MARRIED TO FATE (English) I want to be alone with you And say the things that you would rather not hear I want to be alone with you And tour the corners where you keep your fear
I'm gonna turn my back on you Until you tell me what I want to know I'm gonna turn my back on you For today you reap what you used to sow
I've had about enough of you Yes, I have satisfied my appetite I've had about enough of you Well, maybe I could manage one more bite
INVISIBLE FENCE (English) Don't you hide your face from me There's something there that I might see If I find that it's not there I wonder if I'll even care
You and me, we once made sense Before you put up your defense You tell me that you still care But when I call you're never there
I guess I've finally seen the light So this won't end with a fight I'll have to be the strong one here And make my own self disappear
HOW (DO I LET YOU GO)? (Utley) How do I stop the world from spinning 'round? How do I stop the river's flow? How do I stop the rain from falling down? How do I melt the winter snow?
How do I stop my heart from shattering? How do I face another day? How do I stop these thoughts that torture me? How, how do I turn and walk away?
How do I stop the world from spinning 'round? How do I stop the river's flow? How do I stop the rain from falling down? How, how, how do I melt the winter snow?
IT'S IN YOUR HEAD (English) If wading through the bullshit seems to be a full-time job And every chance at happiness is stepped on by some slob If apathy and rudeness are reflected everywhere And you would die of shock to meet another soul who cares
If love for fellow men and women seems a trite cliche And tolerance for others' flaws ebbs lower every day If life exhausts your energy and leaves you without hope And you are sliding backward down depression's slippery slope
If people seem like robots with computer chips for souls And every baby starts its life from six feet down a hole Before you throw your hands up or complain that you're not free Wake up and realize perception is reality
IN ANSWER TO 'A' (English) Here we are drowning in a river of dreams We are alive, yet we're not living it seems
Days, years, pass without their promise realized Talents fade. One day we'll look up as though surprised
Stop the car, the scenery is rushing by too fast I can't seem to find out how to make the good times last
NOTHING (Utley) I got it bad, girl, this evening Nothing much to say My eyes are filled with night time but the stars have gone away
Now every day lasts a lifetime and everyone is strange Nothing's really different Only everything has changed
SUFFERIN' BASTARD (English) A sufferin' bastard walks down my street Instant karma chained to his feet
It's like a bad dream between his ears If he weren't funny, he'd bring you to tears
Sufferin' bastard can't get a break No second chances he can take
STAY AWAKE (English) Leave your bed behind, in the night go wandering Out here you will find the searchers are gathering Thin, silvery lines connect to the other world Out here you can fly with a breath and a word
Your own Neverland glows in fields of white and black It awaits your hand exploring its every track Others you will meet, pure soul without substance You look at your feet and grin at their absence
