1.- Torch Song
Angels came to light your path.
I heard you keep their wings
pressed under glass.
Now I am so enthralled
that I might die?
I saw you, sweetly smile,
and say "do try."
Anything
I'd tear out my eyes for you my dear,
anything to see everything that you do
I saw you so bereft and pale
and weak when I looked through you
and declined to speak
I won't say anything.
I'd tear out my eyes for you my dear,
anything to see everything that you do.
I'll do anything. I'll tear out my soul
for you my dear, oh my dear.
Anything to feel everything as you do.
Leave me
Leave me to grieve that nothing's lost.
Leave me, but when you leave know
nothing's lost.
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spot lit strangers?
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Oh, are we running towards death?
I have met him times before
He adores like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects at all
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
I'll make it worth your while
just let me taste the sky.
You pressed your mouth on mine
and fed me a star then said
"we never can truly know who we are."
With the light out and the night inside
the broken radio was playing suicide.
I felt myself falling.
I confessed to you "I saw a body."
You said you'd seen a few.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that
you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best to morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun.
Keep the top down use your knees to drive.
I'll hide these words.
They're only yours to find.
You pressed your mouth on mine
and said they'd call us stars.
You said "we never can truly know who we are."
Everything was burning bright.
Everyone was frightened.
You said stay strong.
Everybody knowing that what
we'd invited still remains when we're gone.
Can lack a certain weight when unseen.
Do they speak of me?
My voice left with the breeze that
whispered "You should flee or you shall be seen?"
I'd die, if you only met my eyes
Before you pass by
Will you pause to break my heart?
I am everywhere, everywhere but here
For here is where you grace the nameless
Were I not so weak, could even speak
I'd warn that you should leave before
You're seen with me.
They don't hear me.
Do I bore them when I tell them
I adore them?
I was to touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
whose world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued
your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you
while you shared that cigarette.
Oh I saw you every time I close my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well,
I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread
your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you
while you shared that cigarette.
There is nothing through
there was a time I had felt elation
before all sensation died.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
for you, every vital sign defied.
This means nothing to me.
This means nothing so spare me the lies.
I deny you sympathy just as I have been denied.
I cannot breath.
I can't deny that I've been faking,
for you, every sign of life
I died for the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take ‘til I made you cry.
This is what you taught me.
This is what you taught - and I learned well
to recognize that feeling can be dispelled.
Show your wounds I'm bored with mine.
Nothing is new.
Don't despair I rarely cry.
Oh, my dear please dry your eyes.
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised, as I'd love to.
Could I,
could I just find a way?
I'd find you everyday
And we could alter time
But, I've come to find
Everyone's gone away
So this may be the time
For the perfect crime
Yes, this is perfect
This is our medicine
This is our time to
Medicate, here with me
Now as we lose ourselves to this and ignore
That you don't even know my name, Medicate
Come day, you'll say you can not stay
Once more I'll feel the same
It happens every time
So I've come to find
Everyone goes away
I'm destined to remain
You were never mine
So you were perfect
This is our medicine
This is our time to
Medicate, here with me
Now as we lose ourselves to this and ignore
That you don't even know my name,
Medicate, here with me
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name, Medicate
Can you describe what it's like?
I feel nothing
Can you feel this?
Does it sting?
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
Can you tell me how it feels?
I feel nothing at all
Can we pretend this is real?
I feel nothing
Ah...
Medicate, here with me
Now as we lose ourselves to this and ignore
That you don't even know my name,
Medicate, here with me
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate, here with me
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
That you don't even know my name, oh
You don't even know my name,
You don't even know my name, oh
Medicate
Did you look like me?
No one's from here,
no one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name,
just keep your face.
We're temporary anyway.
Before you came we played
this game in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash.
We're not fixtures.
Quick, now, quick. Take our picture!
What was your past?
When was the last time
that you recall someone your knew
was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past.
I'm sure you'll find
it's in the way all the time.
Before you're through you're
someone who looks a lot like you.
We can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't recall the feelings
that we cannot show.
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan.
It's obsolete.
How could you recognize
and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life.
Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
as I watch these rash hysterics
lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will
open and save us from the truth.
They say that they'd leave today
just without, without you.
Is this one big joke?
I can only hope.
Say your prayers, they're the final punch line.
I don't see the love
below or above.
I see you're scared, well I feel fine.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
I feel I have been abandoned.
I alone seem to see disgrace
as I watch these mad dogmatics
govern our entire race.
Don't tell them you can walk
on water or they may drink your blood.
Why live for pain, in the name
the name of, name of Love?
I can only hope
this is in one big joke
with your prayers as the final punch line.
How is it divine
when it's flawed design?
Fill the cracks with faith I can't find.
Screaming for pure love
you venerate delusion based in hate
Bleeding from pure love
for this I pray:
We've got to shake the faith.
You just looked so exposed,
demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows
betrayed you and I on that night.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth
this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.
As you reached for my hand
did you then understand?
It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show
that I needn't be scared,
either way I still bight.
So here's the final scene
when I finally come clean.
I've watched you for years.
And here's my favorite part,
where you beg for my heart
and I disappear.
but you've left me no choice.
Though I still strain
I can't recall the beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the walls
a song I've heard many times I must return
all you gave me in the company of swine.
We had found sacred ground you burnt down.
I thought you sang to tastefully
but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave
so, please, cut the love song.
How I regret what I must do
but you must be replaced
for I cannot go on suffering
such simple and common tastes.
When you met my eyes you sang to me of passion,
pain and will.
When I blinked you turned away
to kiss the hand of filth.
You had found sacred ground I'll burn down
Tell me who will hear your voice,
your song, when the smoke has cleared
and the lights are gone?
Tell me, who appears when I'm gone.
What we caputred got away
Slipped from us
Don't speak, dont say anything
They've been recording what we say
for years now
You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely now but
Don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone
Don't feel
Don't love anything
Love attracts all those
Who taint the cherished
Don't try to change anything
Nothing can pure every stay
They'll say
Relax you'll be fine
All we love goes away
They'll take
All you left them find
It was mine
