Coloured lights are drowning all my senses,
Adrenaline pumps but I am not afraid.
Believe me when I tell you that there's something left to fight for,
I wish I could believe what I just said.
Hold on to your demons, they will see you through
I can not explain this situation
No word need ever pass your lips,
Maybe in reality I've never loved a single thing
But hope can still remain for me whilst you drive me insane.
You'll never know how much you've hurt me
'Cos I'm never going to tell you
'Cos I never want to see you lose that smile because of me.
But it's never going to be us
Every night something's between us
But I hope you know last night you made me feel alive again.
Paranoia's watching through the window
Reflecting eyes upon the pane of glass.
The touch of skin on finger tips, like water splashing through my lips
Every time you're haunting me I feel like I can't breath
You'll never know how much you've hurt me
'Cos I'm never going to tell you
'Cos I never want to see you lose that smile because of me.
But it's never going to be us
Every night something's between us
But I hope you know last night you made me feel alive again.
I am at your mercy nothing else is true.
I can feel your heart beat, but what I feel is you.
I can still believe that there is laughter
I can still believe there will be pain.
You'll never know how much you've hurt me
'Cos I'm never going to tell you
'Cos I never want to see you lose that smile because of me.
But it's never going to be us
Every night something's between us
But I hope you know last night you made me feel alive again.

Do you remember when I came through your door and you were wearing that silk black dress?
A fallen angel was all that I saw, waiting to feel my breath on her chest.
The walls were hard as stone, the sheets were filled with the blood of
Secret memories I shouldn't see of the tears in the skin.
Do you remember when I came through your door and you were wearing that silk black dress?
The walls and tables were witness to our love and I'll never know what it all meant.
Do you remember songs about the way we'd sing and dance beneath the moonlight?
No, nor do I but hey let's try.
Tonight we can pretend that I could give you all that you have ever dreamed of.
Was it just like you imagined?
As I starve myself of sleep and hope that you might save me.
For fifteen hundred days you were still there beside me
And I might wake you when I have had my nightmares
And the voice is screaming till I've turned so cold.
And I can't blame you for how I am now, lost.
But you would hate if you could see me now when I am
Dead inside and all hope seems lost and you weren't there.
And I'm afraid here, yes I'm afraid
Every hour alone I think of me inside you.
Come and take control, I'll give myself to you
And I don't blame you for how I am now, lost.
But you would hate if you could see me now when I am
Dead inside and all hope seems lost and you weren't there.
Drinking to forget or drinking to remember
I can't see the end but just the last contender
If you're there talk to me, where is everybody?
Give me strength, I might fight if I lose my past.
Do you remember when I came through your door and you were wearing that silk black dress?
These walls are talking to me in my sleep, telling me I've lost.

Poisonous air is filling my lungs as I look at you through all the fruit flavoured smoke
And I'll preach to my world that it's all alright 'cos I know in my heart that it should be!
Yet I'm afraid to be drawn in by all I've become.
I'm watching as butterflies dance on reflections of broken affections between you and me.
But the sight of your smile makes me feel that I might still be human.
And I want to see you tied, bound and gagged on the bed.
Writhing in pleasure and pain as bruises form on your face.
Is this bliss that we're seeking? Is this all that there is in this life,
And I ask myself could there be more?
Should I have lied, should I have cried?
Should I have tried to feel more alive?
Should i have opened my heart and my mind
Now I realise it's time to self destruct.
Hold me! Pull me back now as my fingers curl around his neck.
Is this a dream? How do you see me?
Is this some new trick of life's cryptic fantasies?
Pour me another, I'll race you to heaven.
I never thought I'd see the end of this bottle!
Should I have lied, should I have cried?
Should I have tried to feel more alive?
I need to feel your body against mine
Now I'm dead inside! There's death in my eyes.
Should I have lied, should I have cried?
Why can't I open my heart and my mind?
Why won't you make me feel more alive
Now I realise it's time to self destruct.
I wish I could sleep, but my pills have stopped working.
I'm not bleeding instead,
Feeling smoke in my head,
Feel the ash in my face
As the minutes turn to hours, the light starts to fade
But the colours explode in beauty around your face.
Should I have lied, should I have cried?
Should I have tried to feel more alive?
Now I need to feel your body with mine!
Am I dead inside? Is it time to self destruct?
