Here is my
Small black box
Filled with hurt
Sent by you

Here is my
Small black book
Filled with lies
Told by you

Here is my
small black house
Filled with fear
Thanks to you

Here is my
Small black heart
Filled with shame
Left by you

See I
See I Don't know

And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure

Here is my
Small black doubt
Filled by tears
Cried for you

here is my
Small black wish
Filled by dreams
Lost by you

See I

See I Don't know

And I don't feel the pressure

. . .



I fold your letter
All lies, all cold
I fold my memories
My life, my soul

I fold compassion
And vengeance bleeds through
I fold forgiveness
And wait for you

Do you hear me?
Can you hear me fall?
Do you feel me?
Can you feel at all?

I hear you calling
I hear you calling

I fold all reason
Screaming your name
I fold Your heart and
Feed on your pain

I hear you calling
I hear you calling

Can you feel?

. . .



Who hasn't made
A big mistake
Betrayed a love
Or turned to hate?
You think it's you

Who hasn't told
A small white lie
Or felt revenge
Was justified?
You think it's you

Who hasn't had
A secret need
A truth to hide
desires to feed?
You think it's you

Who has the strength
To save us all
To make us clean
And break our fall?
You think It's You

Does God bleed on the word?
Does God bleed on your white halo?

I looked inside
A big mistake
I'd make it stop
But it's too late.
I Think It's You

I've never been
Afraid to face
A fear but there's
No darker place
I Think than You.

Something crawls
And something lies
Something breathes
And something dies.
I think it's you

Does God bleed on the word?

. . .



Here in this room
I'm a slave to your voice
I wait in the dark
With a cold metal choice
Here in this room
Where desire will bleed
And no-one can help you
No-one but me

OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you

Do you remember
The last time you cried?
Need I remind you
How innocence lied?
Here in the dark
You're a secret untold
A helpless obsession
So perfectly cold

OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you

Cry for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Beg for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Scream for someone, something, I'll laugh at you

. . .



Something calls me
From a dark place

And so I pray every night

Something knows me
It whispers my name
And I'm losing my faith

I can feel it breathing
But it feels like something dead and cold

I can feel it waiting
But it waits for something in my soul

Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I'm afraid

So I beg God
For salvation, for an angel
Every night

And I ask God
Can He forgive me?
And I want to believe

I think I hear it laughing
But it sounds like my voice lost and old

I think it showed me Heaven
And now I know why I'm scared to die

Am I a fool in the dark, I don't know
Am I the ghost in my dreams, I don't know
Am I a shadow of life, I don't know
Am I afraid of the truth, I don't know

Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I'm afraid

So I ask for
One small mercy?
But it whispers 'Who are you?'

So I ask God
If He can save me?

. . .



And I can not be saved
Not by you
Not by God
I want to bleed

And I can hardly breath
Look at me
Falling down
Before your eyes

All I've needed
Takes me away from you
All I've wanted
Takes me away from you
All I live for
Takes me away from you
All I'd die for
Takes me away from you

And this is not my voice
Not my face
Not my life
It belongs to you

And you will not believe
The things i've seen
The things i've done
All in your name

All I've needed
Takes me away from you
All I've wanted
Takes me away from you
All I live for
Takes me away from you
All I'd die for

. . .



I put my fear back in its box
And I put the box where love is blind
And I walk in the dark
Where pain waits smiling
And I know that I can't leave

I look at what I've become
I'm a pure and perfect lie
Like a blind man falling
Scared and helpless
And I'm still falling from grace

I'm so cold
Don't leave me blind
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blinded

I don't know why I'm afraid
I don't know why I'm unsure
And if it all comes down to
What I'm feeling
I don't know what I can say

I'm so cold
Don't leave me blind
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blinded

I stumble
In the depths of my sin
On my knees
I'm a sick man drowning
I belong
But for you it's down to
Who you know
And do you need this?

I'm so cold
Don't leave me blind
I'm so cold

. . .



Here it comes again
That old familiar pain
Here it comes again
Now it has a name
What am I to do?
And where am I to go?
Here it comes again
I am not myself

Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?

Here it comes again
I'm Tortured and deceived
Here it comes again
If only I'd believed
What am I to say?
And where am I to die?
Here it comes again
And I am not myself

Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?

I'll tell you something that you don't know
I'll tell you something that you don't know

Once is always so don't call me

. . .



Sometimes I wonder if God laughs at me
I hear His voice
When I sleep

Sometimes I wonder if The Holy Ghost
Is haunting me
In my dreams

Save me
Save me

Sometimes I wonder, does an angel die?
Rest in peace
Here with me?

Sometimes I wonder if a soul can cry?
I feel a pain
Next to mine

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I don't think He died for me

I know that Heaven is a burnt out shell
I know forgiveness is the door to Hell
I know confession is a black empty lie
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes

Save me


. . .



I would take your place
If your world fell down
I would take your pain
And leave a smile
For you

If you feel a kiss
When you're dreams are dark
And a voice guides you home
When you are lost
That was me

Sometimes love breaks my heart

Sometimes love breaks my heart

I will keep you warm
And I'll wipe your tears away
I'm a shadow
Watching over you
All my life

I would die for you
I would give the world to you
And I'd sell my soul to keep you safe
I love you

Sometimes love breaks my heart

Sometimes love breaks my heart

And when God comes for me
I won't go far
Like a smile in your heart
I won't be far away

If you're afraid and need to find me
I'll be here with you
And when you dream and hear me calling
You'll see me again

Sometimes love breaks my heart

. . .



They say I'm unforgiven and I have to pay
Like I'm the demon resurrection
They say that I turn innocence to panic
But I don't care

They say that my obsession is unholy
That I deviate from reason
They say I make you suffer for my sins
I hope you forgive me

Do you want it?
Do you want it?
My desire

I sink to my knees
Head in my hands
So now I'm just a shadow on their bleeding hearts
This is why the righteous never learn
I'm like a dead man hiding in the dark

What do you need?
What do you need?

What have we become?
All that we could be?
Think of this as mercy, a small gift from me
What does a confession ever do
But take my guilt away

Do you want it?
Do you want it?
My desire

I Feel It Fall
I Feel It Fall From Me
I Feel It Fall Down
I Feel It Fall For You

What do you need?
