Victim to my own demise
I fell from grace and now it seems that the only way out of this
Might just be Debauchery

The Back Of The Bars
03:08

I was waiting for her on the wrong side of the road
I was waiting for someone to kick me off my feet and get me started
But if you just give your heart tonight, I might just find a way
(to let go of the past)
If you just give me your love tonight, we could just sing out loud
And dance the pain away!
Baby, baby, tell me that we’ll be alright
Baby, baby, give inspiration for now
Baby, baby, tell me that you’ll love me right
Hold me tight and never let go
Baby, baby, come on and kiss me one more time today!
I was waiting for love to come knocking at my door at the back of the bars
(Just waiting for strangers to come and take us away so we fix our wrongs)
But if you just try to numb it out it won’t go away…
(…It´s not like medicine, more like a knife on your back…)
You’re more like a knife so just take me away!
Baby, baby, tell me that we’ll be alright
Baby, baby, give inspiration for now
Baby, baby, tell me that you’ll love me right
Hold me tight and never let go
Baby, baby, come on and kiss me one more time today!
Baby, baby, tell me that we’ll be alright
Baby, baby, give inspiration for now
Baby, baby, tell me that you’ll love me right
Hold me tight and never let go
Baby, baby, come on and kiss me one more time today!
One more time today!!!

Leech

We take our time to get rid of the arrangements that we once had, my love
We won't turn around to look back at
Everything we lost
You said:
"If you can strip your pride we could just leave this all behind. Take a look at me and tell me you don't need me anymore, so, I can walk away and leave you all alone."
I'm an emotional leech
Waiting for someone to get you off my head
An emotional leech trying to leave this past I live in my dear
We just walk away after that
Indefinitely waiting for the other to change their mind
Tumbling down the bars we try to find somebody who could love us
But we won't give that
No we won't give back
Not even a little bit of love
It's not in our interest y’know?
It’s just another fuckin’ meal
And sound rings in my ears like...
An emotional leech
Waiting for someone to get you off my head
An emotional leech trying to leave this past I live in my dear
I'm just an emotional leech
Praying for the pain to go away
An emotional leech
Dead inside but I bet you'll love me like that
I’m just an emotional leech
Waiting for someone to get you off my head
I’m just an emotional leech
Trying to leave this past I live in, my dear
I’m just an emotional leech

I never thought that you
Would do anything without thinking it through
But love makes people ashamed of the truth
That’s when you felt, you wanted me to feel it too
Now there are tears on my pillowcase
Now there are memories that I just can’t erase
And the sky isn’t falling
They’re dragging it down
And I’d love to move on
But you’re still around
Stockholm syndrome don’t look good on a girl like me
You turn my love inside out and it´s misery
If heaven is like my eyes, then it’s a humble place to be
If heaven is like yours then it will remain a mystery
There is never a place for us to meet
I’m in on one side trying to breathe
You’re on the other waiting patiently
What for?
There’s nothing more for you to take from me
It’s a heavy thought to know
If you were at my door, I’d still fall into your arms
Even if you hurt me
I don’t deserve to be anything but harmed
Stockholm syndrome don’t look good on a girl like me
My heart’s been broken so many times it can barely beat
And the sky isn’t falling
And they’re dragging it down
And I’d love to move on
But I can’t pretend
You’re not still around
Stockholm syndrome don’t look good on a girl like me

I brought flowers to mourn our departure
Waiting for a message you forgot, telling me how I'm wrong
As if I could ever bring us back
It'd be easier to tell me I imagined it all
To learn to live
Without your grace
I'll do my best to and try and just move on
In these cold nights
My heart calls out
Cries out your name
Until it can't no more
Even though it seems impossible at times, I know
How much we need each other or so we show
To the public eye
But I'm waiting for us to take back those words and come back
[Chorus]
To learn to live
Without your grace
I'll do my best and try to just move on
In these cold nights
My heart calls out (cries out)
Cries out your name
Until it can't no more
But no one can see
No one will know
A god damn thing that I keep inside my chest
I don't want to extern myself
I am alone and I'll forever be at most or at best
To learn to live
Without your grace
I'll do my best to try to just move on
In these cold nights
My heart calls out (crawls out)
Cries out your name
Until it can't no more
And if we stay alive today
I promise that we will be back again
But if tonight we try to die, I'm sorry love
You can just go alone

[Intro]
Exurb1a: Jennifer Smith in the fields behind your parent’s house when you were both 17 and how you should have said “I love you,” instead you said “Look, I’m sorry, I’m just not in the best place right now. Come on, it’s getting cold.”
Your lovely smile radiates across the sky I try to say
But our sentences can only just abruptly end
As we try on and on, I blush too much
But if we feel enough, eventually we will make it
I just feel in paradise by your side
I can say nothing can compare, no nothing can compare
You give me all that I could ever need
I am fulfilled by your side
Your lovely smile radiates across the sky I try to say, But our sentences can only just abruptly end
As we try on and on, I blush too much
But if we feel enough, eventually we will make it
On and on we try, but I am paralyzed
All these sentences I will never speak, No I will never speak. On and on we try, but I am paralyzed
All these sentences I will never speak No, I will never speak
[Outro]
Exurb1a: “No, you’re still sat in a pit of your own mediocrity feeling dull and stepped on by life, standing on a rock that’s spinning at 9,000 miles an hour around a gas giant in an infinite universe, the product of 13 billion years of cosmic evolution, but no, no, definitely you carry on being bored, feeling like crap. And now you feel worse because you know how great you should feel about everything, amazed and happy all the time, yet you still feel like shit. Well, that’s biology.”

Hello my love
How are you today?
I must say you look lovely
Pretty as hell and gorgeous as well
You'd make the world turn if you wanted so
You look at me, you melt my heart so peacefully
I'm in heaven, you are lovely
Everything else can go to hell!
Oh dear, love has got me blinded for today
Evil exists but only inside of my head
You have casted your greatest spell yet
I can only say
I am in love with you
While walking down at the park, you said:
“I am elated, I think that we may have future
But dared not to say it
Would you like to hear music?
I made this just for you.”
I'm on a silver platter, yeah take me You know you should
Yeah you know you should
I'm in heaven, you are lovely
Everyone else can go to hell!
Oh dear, love has got me blinded for today
Evil exists but only inside of my head
You have casted your greatest spell yet
I can only say
I am in love with you
You have casted your greatest spell yet, greatest spell yet
I can only say
I am in love with you today

Before It Ends...

Our life was our life was at the end of its cycle, judging by the way that you looked me. You were holding a shotgun on one hand, in the other flower for me to receive
I guess it must've been my fault
You know I'm not afraid of hurting my mind
If it's for you I know that you'd hate to see me crying over us but you know that I loved you so
And the curtains have fallen from the window
Exposing imperfections to the sun now we see
I'm sorry to tell you it but I'm guessing that…
Our life was our life was at the end of its cycle, judging by the way that you looked me. You were holding a shotgun on one hand, in the other flower for me to receive
Everything comes to a halt, even the best of things must stop eventually
I know that it hurts both of us but if we don't stop now it will take the best from
You and me and me and you And you and me and me and you
There is not much to care for now
But other than what our ending spells like
Our life was our life was at the end of its cycle, judging by the way that you looked me. You were holding a shotgun on one hand, in the other flower for me to receive

Go on, tell me what you’re looking for
I don’t have a contract to my soul no more
I gave it all away in the past, in the past
I gave it all away In the past
I am still bleeding for something that got away
Bleeding for the things that I can't get out of my head
Would you just bring me back my heart?
Would you just stop the pain I’m in?
Would just leave us all alone?
My mind can’t seem to go on with you still in it

They both gave everything that they had
But destiny tends to leave you on the ground
Wanting more waiting for things to come 'round again
Again and again and again
Why does everything have an end?
Why did this happen to me again?
Life and death
Surely metaphors for love
Eventually we have to say goodbye
Through the strife you try never to give up on
What's holding you on to the ground
Why does this have an end?
Why did everything happen to me again?
Wherever you are
I just hope you're doing fine
And if you can, remember to brush your hair quite well tonight
Remember to brush your hair quite well tonight
Wherever you are
I just hope you're doing fine
I’d say that I miss you but We're doing better apart

Magnum Opus
07:09
|
|||
[Part I]
I will not be a victim to this again
I'll peacefully walk away from the personal hell I've made
Rather than waiting for someone to get me out
We made stars shine
We gave it all we had
And though our time has ended
We loved as much as we can
There ain't anything left to say other than...
You were my magnum opus
You were my magnum opus
(All that i ever dreamed having )
In my arms
You were my magnum opus
You were my magnum opus
(All that I've ever needed)
In my arms
You were my magnum opus
You were my magnum opus
(All that I ever dreamed of holding in my arms)
You were my magnum opus
You were my magnum opus
(Everything that I ever dreamed)
In my arms
(Even though we gave everything that we had
Resistance to destiny is futile at best
But nothing can erase
Everything you were)
[Part II]
Back at the begining
I will leave this place alone
Wondering if there's anything in me
Worth fighting for
I will give my soul a break from limbo
And just decide to run away from you tonight
(run away from you tonight)
You were my magnum opus
But I will break free from you today, you'll see
And I was your magnum opus
But I will break free from you today, you'll see
Life in solitude is better
Than suffering leeching on someone's soul
Those drunken nights you'll wish
To leave behind are so pathetically adored
They seem such a good alternative
To healthy ways of coping
With your loss but you'll end up on the floor
Crying out for whom you adore
And I still adore some parts of your soul
Crying for who you still adore
I still adore some parts of your soul
You're stuck in my mind ever since...
And now we´re gone but not far away from here
We look back to see if the other looks back at us
Not quite willing cause pride has got it's grip on both
And I know you look back some days but I can't
Look back to you in the same way
You were my magnum opus
But I will break free from you today, you'll see
And I was your magnum opus
But I will break free from you...
Even though we gave it everything we...
Resistance to destiny is futile at best
Even though we gave it everything we...
Resistance to destiny is futile at best
