DARKNESS
Been spendin so much time underground
I guess my eyes adjusted
To the lack of light
I got
Covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Hibernating
Always waiting for something new
Happiness always ending
In the blink of an eye
There was no-one attending
No-one attending
I doesn't really matter where it all begins
All ...I ...know
I got coulored in darkness
Coulored in darkness
Ever wonder why I never really truly connect
Although my eyes are open
I can hold your hold your gaze
But I am never connected
Never connected
I am famous for my generosity
They say I am the kindest
It is easier to
Give than recieve love
Give than recieve love
It doesn't really matter where it all begins
All ....i ....know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Turning pages over
Learn a way to know
And it's hard to take control
When your enemies old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you are running from
Is the monster in you
Better to hold on to love
Better to hold on to love
Change will come
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All i know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
It doesn't really matter where it all began
Cuz all I know
I was lost
I was lost
No, no ..oo noh
It doesn't really maytter where it all began no no
All i know
i was lost
I feel lost
Lost
I know...
I LIKE THE WAY
Somewhere inside my evolution Karmically I seek retribution
Looking for love in physical beauty
Desire is the drug of the bourgeoisie
And now I try to intellectualize
Like a glimmer of good in a bad man's eyes
I am consumed by the flesh haunting me
I know temptation taunts the empty
So pour yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see
Because I like the way you move in the dark
And I like the tension, the tension and the spark
The decadence of giving in to desire
Creates such empathy within
Lookin' for love in the spiritual faces
Blind to the art of fabrication
I'm like a baby sucking mamma's milk
Wanna drink my fill and then some
Leave me alone
I always thought I was better than this
But temptation tempts the temptee
So pour yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see
Because I like the way you move in the dark
And I like the tension the tension and the spark
This physicality
shifting me chemically
such power over me
It’s just desire
I know its trickery
I know its just skin deep
I know I should resist
I'm just too tired
Too tired
There's just one thing missing
one thing missing here is love
I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark
So pull yourself over me
Until there's nothing left to see
There's just one thing missing
The one thing missing here is love
LIGHT

DUBLIN SKY
I’ve been down a lonely street tonight
And I don’t know what’s wrong with me
I don’t know what’s wrong with me
But clouds cover up the Dublin sky
And I don’t know what’s left of me
And I don’t know what’s right with me
And I tried to keep my distance
And I've sung Amazing Grace
I've tarnished all our memories
But there’ll always be a trace of you
Of you
I remember laughing on that river’s edge
Trying to get you to jump with me
Trying to get you to fall for me
And your trembling heart it beat so fast
Holding hands you promised me
Holding hands we counted to three
And I felt your slipping fingers
And I saw you change your mind
If I hadn’t dragged you in with me
You would’ve let me dive without you
Without you
Yeah they sent you all the way from Hollywood
And maybe that Dublin sky was changing you
It put diamonds in your eyes
I always thought we were gonna make it through
But I wanted to hear it first from you
How many days am I gonna regret you?
How many nights until I forget you?
Have I been wasting all those years
Held down by these tears?
How many dreams have I left deserted?
How many hopes have been diverted?
Have I been buried in the dirt
Held down by this hurt?
And how many lows did I let you hijack?
How many ways can I study the playback?
How did I end up lying here
Crying underneath the Dublin sky?
How many days am I gonna regret you?
How many nights till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years
Drowning in my tears?
How many nights am I gonna regret you?
How many days till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years
Drowning in my tears?
HERO
Outside Confidence is king I am all that you’re projecting
Inside, feel the rising tide and the revolution's deafening
I was trying to hide
My opposing side
Trying to reconcile
My Jeckyl and Hyde
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don’t wanna be your hero
No I am not open parts of me are broken
Do yourself a favour save yourself
Don’t pick me find someone else
Why do you wanna bother
find yourself another
Sometimes you put all of your desires in an object of affection
But in time because you idolise there is only disappointment
I was flying so high in your perfect sky
But I needed to fall
Cannot have it all
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don’t wanna be your hero
No I am not open parts of me are broken
Do yourself a favour save yourself
Don’t pick me find someone else
Why do you wanna bother
find yourself another
I don’t need to compromise
I don’t need to occupy that floor
There’s a danger in boxing in my sin
And all that I am
It’s too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
It’s too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please I don’t wanna be your hero
No I am not open parts of me are broken
Do yourself a favour save yourself
Don’t pick me find someone else
Why do you wanna bother
find yourself another
It's too much presure
I'll only let you
Down Again
UNLOVABLE
Are my lips unkissable
Are my eyes unlookable
Is my skin untouchable
Am I unlovable
Cynical, jaded, faithless
disappointed, disillusioned views
If I could take back all my sweat
My tears
My sex
My joy
I would
My time
My love
My effort, passion, dedication
In a case of mistaken identity
I gave these things to you
I sound angry, bitter, sad, infatuated
It's the truth
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression
Just a few
Stages of acceptance that it’s really over
It's just so complicated
I'm stupid for believing in you
You made me feel
Like my father never loved me
You make me feel
Like the act of love is empty
Am I
So unlovable
And my
Skin Untouchable
Do I
Remind you of the part of you that you don't like
I had you back
I held you up
I told you were good enough
It was not reciprocated
You kept affection and yourself apart
You fed your love to me
like crumbs to pigeons in the park
Sometimes I think it satisfied
To see me beggin' like a dog
I wasn’t armoured
You were king
I gave my everything
Because sometimes you showed me just a hint
of you and then
For just a moment
I romaticised the notion
I could take away the torment
I could love you like they never did
You made me feel
like my father never loved me
You make me feel
Like the act of love is empty
Am I so unlovable
And my skin untouchable
Do I
Remind you of the part of you that you don't like
You make me feel
Like my mother she abandoned me
You made feel
Like the act of love is empty
Am I
So unlovable
My heart unbreakable
Do I
Remind you of the part of you that you despise
Are my lips unkissable
Are my eyes unlookable
And my sex undoable
Am I unlovable
Are my words unlistenable
Are my hands untouchable
Am I undesirable
Am I unlovable
You make me feel
Like my father never loved me
You make me feel
Like the act of love is empty
Am I
So unlovable
And my skin untouchable
Do I
Remind you of the part of you
you don't like
Am I unlovable ...
VOID
I’ve seen so many faces
These hands have lied before
I’ve kissed so many lips it’s blocked my mind
I’ve whispered bullshit nothings
I’ve cried a lonely night
I thought I’d found the one a million times
Doesn’t anyone fill the void?
Doesn’t anyone kill the joy?
Doesn’t anyone take the place of you in my heart?
Doesn’t anyone fill the void?
Doesn’t anyone kill the joy?
Doesn’t anyone take the place of you?
I let a stranger love me
I gave away my pride
I bit my lip so I could block my mind
I’ve called your name to others
Just like a spinal chord
Severed and broken but the spark still tries
And doesn’t anyone fill the void?
Doesn’t anyone kill the joy?
Doesn’t anyone take the place of you in my heart?
Doesn’t anyone fill the void?
Doesn’t anyone kill the noise?
Doesn’t anyone take the place of you?
But they don’t know you like I do
They don’t see the good inside you
They don’t lie with you in bed and join you when you’re dreaming
They don’t see your softer side
Who’ll be there to turn your light on?
Who will try to wash away the stain that love has left us?
Doesn’t anyone fill the void?
Doesn’t anyone kill the joy?
Doesn’t anyone kill the place of you in my heart?
Doesn’t anyone bring the noise?
Doesn’t anyone kill the joy?
Doesn’t anyone take the place of you?
I FORGIVE YOU
For all the anguish and degradation
For every time I needed truth and you were faithless
For disappointment
Self-deprication
A living a lie
For fantasizing you could save me
I need my cross like a blanket
And misery is a comfort
I can’t hardly stand to blame my self-fulfilling prophecy on you
And in the end I designed it
I guess I felt I deserved it
I should kiss your dirty lips for bringing me my clarity
And how the truth has made me see
How your lies had buried me
But I forgive you
Lord I Must forgive you
So I
I feel so high just let it go
I forgive you
Lord I Must forgive you
So I
Shut up
For all the torment
Loss of independence
For disrespect and carelessness with my emotions
For all the screams I swallowed
And how my soul was hollow
For giving in to temptation
For making me feel like a cheap replacement
And how the truth has made me see
How your lies had buried me
But I forgive you
Lord I Must forgive you
So I
I feel so high just let it go
I forgive you
Lord I Must forgive you
So I
Ignore the lies that I believed
And all the guilt you made me feel
Because I forgive you
Lord I must forgive you
Because I feel so good just letting go
You know I feel good letting go
Getting stronger
Letting go
Getting stronger
I’m moving on
Getting stronger
Letting go
Getting stronger
I’m getting stronger
This time
I forgive you
Lord I
And how the truth has made me see
How your lies have buried me
But I forgive you
Lord I Must forgive you
For all the lies that I believed
And all the guilt you made me feel
I forgive you
Lord I Must forgive you
You know I feel so high
I feel so high
I must forgive you
Because it feels so good just letting go
You know I feel good letting go
FEEL
You teach me how to feel
It feels alright
There’s nothing left to fear
finding myself
The further I go
Towards you
To teach me how to love
Parts of myself
I hated for so long
Loving myself through loving you
I no longer live like a man in the dark
Hiding all the pieces of my broken heart
Way up high I’m holding on
Way up high I’m holding on to you
You teach me to forgive
It feels alright
Compassion for your pain
compassion for mine
The circle divides
I no longer live like a man in the dark
Holding all the pieces of my broken heart
Way up high I’m holding on
Way up high I’m holding on to you
Way up high I’m holding on
Way up high I’m holding on to you
LOVE AND ATTRACTION
I do not want anyone
Anyone who really wants me
Everyone that I desire wants to be with someone else
I find it so amusing
Isn't that the way it goes
I'm a blip on someone's radar
They don't even catch my eye
I want what I haven't got
Even if it kills me trying
I want her she wants him
He wants me I give in
I want her
I want him I don't want anything
I started questioning
The rules of coupling
This strip is mobius It's neverending
Love and attraction
It's like sex and passion
It's two ends of a spectrum
Are you a friend or a lover?
Now pick one or the other
It is not easy to find
Anyone who captivates me
Anyone deserving time must have somehow passed me by
Looking in the wrong direction
She wants him he wants me
I don't want anybody
And everyone once
It's so amusing
Love and attraction
It's like sex and passion
It's two ends of a spectrum
Are you a friend or a lover?
Now pick one or the other
Everybody wants someone to hold
Everybody wants to choose a role
Anybody willing to break the mold
No hint of bravery
Everybody chasing some ideal
None of it obtainable none of it real
Everything falls between the cracks of
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
It's like sex and passion
It's two ends of a spectrum
Are you a friend or a lover?
Now pick one or the other
Love and attraction
It's like joy and sadness
It's like peace and conflict
You can chase them forever
Are they ever together?
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
You can chase them forever
Are they ever together?
Everybody wants someone to hold
Everybody wants to choose a role
Anybody willing to break the mold
No hint of bravery
Everybody chasing some ideal
None of it obtainable, none of it real
Everything falls between the cracks
Of love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
You can chase them forever
Are they ever together?
SENSE OF HUMOR
You will like my sense of humor
You will be addicted to my smile
Laughing all the while
And I will end each conversation
I will leave the room with upper hand
And you will understand
You will find my scent attractive
You will like my real engaging eyes
And playful childlike smile
You will find my style appealing
I will overpower you with wit
And I will be a hit
If only you’d run to me
If only you’d come to me
If only you’d relax upon your rules
And dare to be love’s fool
If only you’d come for me
If only you’d run to me
If only you’d relax upon those rules
And dare to be love’s fool
Waking up from a coma
tossing turning
Sweat has covered my body
my mouth felt dry
My life flashing before me
Nothing much to say
Most of it so boring
Did you hear me say?
Only I could adore you
The wind through the trees
Silently barking orders
Rushing up to me
This is only beginning
Don’t anger the sea
Feel the waves crashing higher and higher on me
If only you’d relax upon those rules
And dare to be loves fool
All the blinking lights
Noise of eternity
All the sentences swirling inside of me
You will like my sense of humor
Inside of me
I have censored eyes, I hear drums in my ears
Redirected desire, now it comes out as tears
You will like my sense of humor
And now it comes out as tears
You will like my sense of humor
You will like my sense of humor
EGO
I have been contemplating letting go
Of you ego
Thought I’d let you know
You’re getting old
It was so irritating saving face
When I fell from grace
I thought you would erase
Without a trace
But you stayed
But you remained
But you
It’s always about you
I have been quietly edging away
To keep the flames at bay
Make this puppy stay
To limit my use of
Personal pronouns are the death of me
See I just said 'me'
You’re an endless sea of vanity
It’s all for you babe
For you babe
For you
It’s always about you
I have been silently taking offence
And at great expense
As my feelings dent
I’m lickin' my scratches
It serves no purpose, doesn’t gratify
And you’re dissatisfied
And though you’re belly's full
There’s always more room for you babe
For you babe
For you
It’s always about you
