Candlewick 03:47
The body's dripping Flowing down into the sands My dog-headed lover's holding my hands Time is viscous like oil in my mouth Five thousand years from now I will be alive I am waking on the Earth There is no place where I belong I'm a reject of this war I set myself on fire to burn your world I am the only one who knows the road back home There are red flowers under the sanctity of stone As red as the blood that soaked an avignon field I used to be a human being Now I'm a candlewick I am waking on the Earth There is no place where I belong I'm a reject of this war I set myself on fire to light up your world

I Still Do 04:24
Even if you were here it wouldn't be enough Only memories that I've got are the things I can love I still cherish all the days of my youth I still cherish all the days when we were close I will get over you But here and now I'm thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I still do I wonder if you've ever seen How beautiful I can be It hurts but I am free And nothing's gonna change me I hate it but time goes on You just move on but I don't I will get over you But every night I'm thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I still do

Drown Me 03:50
Tonight you're gonna sleep on my tongue Like an exstasy pill, like a placebo pill You are my only way to feel Something instead of nothing at all Your perversions uncover perfection I'm getting undressed looking at my reflection The way you tease The way you please I didn't want it You've got me on my knees Feed me with your lust Let me get us lost Where the darkest water flows Drown me Take me out tonight To the field where dead horses cry Lay me down on the ground Do what you want 'cause we are unbound

Airplanes 05:48
Do you know that airplanes have got souls? Do you know how loud they cry when they crash? Do you know that I have got a soul in me too? God only knows how loud I cried when I crashed into you Oh my wicked man you know how to drive It's safe only when you're inside Ooh I'm a bird of steel I know you love watching me spreading my wings Oh we were flying Now I am crashing, I'm crying I'm crying again Does it matter that I Have got a soul You know how loud I scream when Im mad I need you more Than all these stupid bitches do I want you more Than your haters want you dead I feel you more Than all these stupid bitches do I want them all dead Ooh noone compares to you Nothing compares to the things you do I wish I were simple enough for you How does it feel to be the one Who can tame me You know it, don't you

Stand Still 03:48
I've never been in pain being on my own I've never felt lonely being alone But it hurts so much to see How others try to pull you apart My reward, my love There is nothing I can do, Just turn my back and look above Stand still until the stars fall to my feet Stand still, don't harden my heart I look around, I can't believe you were real So stand still I know it just takes some time To leave my fails behind and get what is mine I'm not afraid to lose you But what a torment it is to be dissapointed in you I'm trying to keep my sanity Don't abuse my vulnerability When I come undone Oh I've never seen you so beautiful

Red Opium 04:19
I said that I wouldn't But he gets me where he wants me to be When I was locked in his arms I wished I could never get free I used to be so venturous I thought I could resist the wind They say, I'm dangerous But I'm so helpless sleeping at his feet Bleeding, dropping red flowers on snow Wilting, watching him hide his face from the sun The dawn's gonna take away everything Tomorrow I won't know If it all Was for nothing Drain my heart and set it on fire Breathe in the smoke with calmness I admire There's nothing I wouldn't do to not get sober again I know what you wan And I won't refrain If opium makes you high Take what you need I wanna hear you sigh I can give you more 'cause this game is something I've been starving for

about

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain… Or so says the legend.
