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 says love me

And I love her even though she lies

She says hold me

Darling, I will stay forever

We will always be together

She's slow-motion murder

Can't leave it alone

Blood red skin shed death bed

Can't leave it alone

She says hold me

And I drink the sorrow from her eyes

Fuck me holy

Can we stay this way forever

Can we always be together

I'm so alive when I'm in her arms

But it's all a lie

She's so close, but I can't hold her

She's my own Medusa

But my heart is the stone

Snow white skin tight last night

Can't leave it alone

She says warm me

For the night is black and I'm so cold

Hold me, hold me

Nothing ever lasts forever

We will never be together

 

 

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?

(I'm lovestruck) The music when he's speaking

(Lovestruck) The way his jackets fit

(Lovestruck) I don't know what he's seeking

(Lovestruck) I wish that I were it

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

(I'm lovestruck) My heart and soul are captive

(Lovestruck) My body feels so free

(Lovestruck) His presence brings on rapture

(Lovestruck) His absence tortures me

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

I'm lovestruck

 

 

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 want to lay this burden down

I want to lay this burden down

I'm not the man I see reflected in your eyes

But I will try to be until the day I die

I want to lay this burden down

I want to lay this burden down

I've found a love that I can call my own

Day after day

I've found somewhere that I can call my home

And I want to stay

I stand outside your door and watch you while you sleep

So pure and beautiful, it drives me to my knees

I want to lay this burden down

I want to lay this burden down

 

 

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 want to peel back layer on layer on layer on layer of personality

I want to hold in my hand that man that little toy fragile toy you must be

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 want to break you on down, down around my feet like the dirt that you are to me

Want you to know how it goes when your lifeline crumbles at your feet like honesty

Oh, you should have played nice, now we both have a cross to bear

Why didn't you think twice? How could you be so unfair?

All I ever did was love you. Love surely makes for purest hate

With a single decision you married us both to fate

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

It seems the tide has turned have you learned you get burned if you play with fire long enough?

The Man of Steel has a heel like Achilles and it seems to me you never were all that tough

 

 

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

STRING ME ALONG, WILL YOU?

DAY AFTER DAY

I SPEND MY TIME BETWEEN

HOPEFULLNESS AND AGONY

WHY TREAT ME THIS WAY?

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

STRING ME ALONG, WILL YOU?

TIME AFTER TIME

HOW CAN YOU INSIST

THE WEDGE BETWEEN US CAN'T EXIST?

I AM NOT BLIND

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 let you go?

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?

Tell me how do I let you go?

Nobody ever took me higher

Or ever laid me quite as low

You are my one and true desire

I never dreamed that you would go

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?

Please tell me how do I let you go?

 

 

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

Hold on to what you know is true

What's coming at you comes from you

Do not forget why we're all here

The answer's clear

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

Hold on to those who you can trust

You'll leave the losers in the dust

Just like all things, this too will pass

It just won't last

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

Hold on to knowing right from wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you strong

Why wait for heaven 'til you're dead?

It's in your head

 

 

IN ANSWER TO 'A' (English)

Here we are drowning in a river of dreams

We are alive, yet we're not living it seems

Fear strikes deep

So routine we keep

If we took a chance we could end up hurt

If we left the ground we'd long for the dirt

Days, years, pass without their promise realized

Talents fade. One day we'll look up as though surprised

Youth and beauty gone

Others carry on

In another world would it be the same?

Can you change a thing if you change its name?

Stop the car, the scenery is rushing by too fast

I can't seem to find out how to make the good times last

Courage comes so late

Can we change our fate?

If I knew the words I would cast the spell

But the ones who know aren't the ones who tell

 

 

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

I've got a hole the size of you inside my heart

And there is nothing I can do

It's torn apart

Now every day lasts a lifetime and everyone is strange

Nothing's really different

Only everything has changed

I've got a hole the size of you inside my heart

And there is nothing I can do

It's torn apart

 

 

SUFFERIN' BASTARD (English)

A sufferin' bastard walks down my street

Instant karma chained to his feet

He's got no lovelife, he can't find work

Even his mother thinks he's a jerk

No matter what he tries, it always fails

He's on the lighter side of Justice's scales

It's like a bad dream between his ears

If he weren't funny, he'd bring you to tears

He's got no talent, he's got no skill

He could be dangerous if he had will

If not for charity, he'd surely die

But better it be him than you or I

Sufferin' bastard can't get a break

No second chances he can take

He's got no friends and he's got no class

Even his dreams are purely crass

If not for charity, he'd surely die

But better it be him than you or I

 

 

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

In the daytime, you won't believe

So stay awake tonight

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

In the daytime, you won't believe

So stay awake tonight
