I saw the world, it was beautiful
But the rain got in and ruined it all
Then I tried to be invisible
It was impossible
Even for me
I laughed at love
It was a big mistake
In the absence of
I filled it with hate
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
I had the brains not to think at all
But the rain got in
And I thought too hard
On the world, and as usual
I slumped too far into the void
I tried to make everything meaningless
But the rain got in and made it a mess
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world
So what gives me the right
To think that I could throw away a life?
Even mine
And what makes you believe
That you could get away with getting old?
Overlapping me
Maybe to lose or to save your soul
Is a choice of how you fill the hole
And the rain got in
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
There's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world

I heard the sound bite
I read your words right
I saw the light
I heard you singing
I know this song
It's my turn to write
I put this hook inside
So you won't soon forget
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
When I look hard
I see in the stars
What you've done and what lies
Awaiting for you
When I look down
I see the ground
I won't make a sound
I won't need to look at you
Inside the phone lines
You think you'll hide
And you'll be alright
You're in my sidelines
You'll have no time
Even to cry
I see your pain
I see my face on your fear
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
When I look hard
I see in the stars
What you've done and what lies
Awaiting for you
When i look down
I see the ground
I won't make a sound
I won't need to look at you
I can see sparks
Over a lake at midnight
I see the smiles
Falling from your face
But you're in the dark
You're in a maze
All you can do is sit here and wait for me
And I'm coming
I know the low road
I wrote the code
To break in your heart
I see the angles
I draw the cards
That burden you so
I have the sight
That follows you morning and night
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
My poison eye

With his arms around your love
Oh no, here comes the pain that you can't ignore
With his arms around your girl
He'll do all of the things you didn't do before
You had every chance, but you closed the door..
Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love (x3)
Oh yeah
Pretend that you don't mind
But you know everything that you left behind
And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside
You thought she'd hang around for the ride...
Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love (x3)
Coming clean feels so dangerous
Just a little bit would have been enough
But you never said all the words caught in your head
As if your heart was dead
Well now its surely bled and broken up
And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside
You thought she'd hang around for the ride...
Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love...

Think of a time
When morning will come
And you will wake up without the feeling
That half the world has gone insane
You'll open your eyes
Reading your paper, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down time while you were sleeping
I've never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
Think of a place that you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret
Have to risk your life just to be yourself
A place where you'll walk safely no matter your color or age
More than the greed of you and me
Decides the fate of the day
I'd never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down
Think of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else
One where you're seeking more than yourself
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
Why can't we pull this together?
Now and forever
Pull this together
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down...

The A.M. finds me
Home alone awake in bed
Morning blinds me
Had that dream of you again
Fog is lifting
I realize that you're not here
And how you left me
Life disappeared
Life is rejection
I know you've had your share
But this one's special
I can't compete with her
And did she tell you
Only she could know your mind
And did she sell you
I gotta say it one time
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She's got you thinking
Of a world where you might fit in
A whole lot better
Than the one you've been living in
And did she tell you
Only she could understand
And did she sell you
Only time will tell
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But one thing's for sure
She'll never be your man
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
A vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But one thing's for sure
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
Never be your man
She'll never be your man
Never be your man
Never be
She'll never be your man

I know what you're looking for
You've looked in these eyes before
And all you saw was blue green water
Searching for a mirror
That would show the world not who you are
But who you wanna be
And you thought you'd found that one in me
But it's been a long time since I heard that name
He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
you can wait here if you want
But I don't think he's coming back
He doesn't live here anymore
Sure you've found the right place
The same address you knew before
But that won't change what lies behind the door
And what lies underneath had to change from the inside out
He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
I think it's better if you go
Cause I don't want him coming back
Yes I know the name sounds a little bit familiar
Like a melody to a dream
Yes I know he wore the same face, the same clothes
But that was so long ago
I know who you want to find
Somewhere is the memory of somebody I left behind
Well lets take it all in stride
Yeah it's that time to say goodbye
He doesn't live here anymore
. . .

I learned long ago
'bout a better way of killing birds
And what it means when they die in my hands
Like a strangled heart
It never made much sense to me
Why I'd need to know the best way to do that
But you have to love the murderer I've become
As I'm standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
I've spent my youth
Breaking down the walls my father built
Just like he did to his father before him
But then I had no home
So I tried to make a better one
It looked just like his, so I burned it down again
No there ain't a long parade of idiots
As I'm standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
You don't have to love the murderer I've become
If I could spin a web
I would sit and wait for you
I wouldn't need a stone, I'd just poison you and tie you up
And you would be a bird
A beautiful cresent one
And your eyes would beg
But i'm just doing my job
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
Be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
Do think twice
She told my baby thats a threat
As she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cries
Eyes would like mine
Gonna dance on the floor in the round,
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
Do think twice

As I fall I leave this scar upon the sky
A simple note for you, I'll wait for your reply
And in your answer I'll regain my will to try
So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun one more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the clouded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run
In these hills they wash the golden grains away
To the valley under all of this I lay
And may you dig me out unearthed and saved
So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun one more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the clouded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run
We can rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand
No longer scrounded like a painted bird on a fan
So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun one more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the clouded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run
We can rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun (x3)

Sleeping on the road that takes you home
Howling at the moon at midnight
I want the wrong that sets you right
I'll be praying at your bedside
How long i've been a soul in the gutter
I don't have a home or a mother or anywhere to lay my head down
Can I visit your arms?
Can i visit your legs?
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
I'm your soul today
Hanging on a rope from a burning tree
Singing on a broken headstone
Bleeding from an old wound
Swimming in the fever
Waiting for a ressurection
I know it's a miracle I've lived this long
I don't want to give the wrong impression
But I've come so far
Can I visit your arms?
Can I visit your legs?
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
I'm your soul today
Sleeping on the road that takes you home
Howling at the moon at midnight
I want the wrong that sets you right
I'll be praying at your bedside
How long I've been a soul in the gutter
Can I visit your arms
Can I visit your legs
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
Can I visit your arms?
Can i visit your legs?
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
I'm your soul today
Your soul today

On the silent night so out of place
I almost lost my nerve
When I saw you walk into my space
A woman like you I could not replace
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
There's no hill I would not climb for you
No bridge I wouldn't cross
Not a moment passes in my life
That you're not on my mind
Together or apart
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
Anytime you're lost
Anywhere you're found
Anytime you want
I will be around
Anywhere you seek
Anywhere you stand
Anytime you fall
Anywhere you limp
Even if you break
Anytime I can I will be there for you
I know that you'll understand
You'll understand
Now I never would have imagined this
So I thank my lucky stars
As I see you in your wedding dress
Never would have guessed you'd fill my open arms
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
Yeah it feels like I don't have to worry at all
Yeah it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
Finally forever

There the soldiers, in the sunlight
Kill the center of a man in endless suicide
By the night light, in foreing sky
Is a holstered, bridled child spinning 'round the flame?
Each is loved now or remembered
By the mask they wore years before the future
And the horse falls in the smoke filled riot
The center of a child grows in new disguise
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
And where are words from the sound mouths?
I can't understand how they silence the voices
It's a new day, in the old life
He looks healthy with a tan on the white sheath
Across the table, where the blood dries
Where infinity will greet these earthly confines
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
And where are words from the sound mouths?
I can't understand how they silence the voices
That say no
That say no
It's a new day, in the old life
In the silence of the absence
Where are the songs from the same minds?
And where are words from the sound mouths?
I can't understand how they silence the voices
That say no
I can't understand how they silence the voices

Come on now, the curtain is drawn
And tomorrow stands before you
Dressed and draped in a coal black cape
Like a crow, he ignores you
Look again, there's a beautiful girl
Covered cinnamon a Holy land smile
It's the great disappearing act
Done once again for tomorrow
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails
So strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down
Build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late
I'll never know
Step outside, now the door's open wide
And the minons are eager to find him
Put a million miles under your heels
And you're still behind him
Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
While the seasons get hotter and colder
Stretch your faces and lie about your ages
And still we're gonna get older
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails
So strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down
Build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late
I'll never know
I'll never know
Hang onto your fingers
Making your hands unwind
He will escape you every time
From under your pillows
Through open windows and lie in open willows
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down
Build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know

If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we all been playing
I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
Forget how to feel
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
Spin of the wheel
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
. . .

I have an injury
It's there for all to see
They pay to watch as the blood pours out
And it's my priviledge
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Of losing my mind
The fasination lives
Inside the world that spins
Around the scene of the accident
And they're most interested
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
Of losing your mind
Of losing your mind
When I walk along the street
I see you all who know your sanity
Is hanging by a thread
I went to church today
To pray it all away
I watched the meek pass the hat around
But I'd already paid
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah i'm in danger
Of losing my mind
Of losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
