A Pain That I'm Used To
I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know
that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of
me
But the key is a question of control
Can you say what you're trying
to play anyway
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the
signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is
fueled
All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me
a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you
conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true
There's a
hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance, oh
no
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the
seeds of the soul
I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No
mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air I will leave it
there
On a note full of hope not despair
All this running around, well
it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to
believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that
rings true
John The Revelator
John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him
up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let
him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth
operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put
him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God as his only
rock
He's stealing a god from the Israelite
Stealing a god from a Muslim,
too
There is only one god through and through
Seven lies, multiplied
by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send
them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the
Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John
the Revelator!
He should bow his head in
shame
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Seven lies,

Suffer Well
Where were you when I fell from grace
Frozen heart, an
empty space
Something's changing, it's in your eyes
Please don't speak,
you'll only lie
I found treasure not where I thought
Peace of mind can't
be bought
Still I believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes
it's hard
It's hard to tell
An angel led me when I was blind
I said
take me back, I've changed my mind
Now I believe
From the blackest room, I
was torn
He called my name, a love was born
So I believe
I just
hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
I just
hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
So hard to tell
The Sinner In Me
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him
denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in
me
I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture that your memory
paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my
restraint
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me
up when I'm on the ground
If I could just hide
The sinner
inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be
free
From the sinner in me
I'm still recovering
Still getting over
all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
But
you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall when I start to
slide
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him
denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in
me
Precious
Precious and fragile things
Need special
handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The
tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get
damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left
unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Angels
with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain
for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's
your eyes He's seeing through
Things get damaged
Things get
broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so
brittle
There was so little left to give
I pray you learn to
trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for
two
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd
manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little
left to give
Macrovision
Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my
blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to
me
Unlimited, endless
God breathing through me
See the
microcosm
In macrovision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One
universal
Celebration
One evolution
One creation
Thundering
rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear
and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate
beauty
See the microcosm
In macrovision
Our bodies moving
With
pure precision
One universal
Celebration
One evolution
One
creation
I Want It All
I see a river
It's oceans that I want
You have to
give me everything
Everything's not enough
It's my desire
To give
myself to you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with
you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it's true
Somewhere I
find
Something that's kind
And I've crossed the line again
A line I
drew in sand
Still you give me everything
And everything's not
enough
I'm ready but not willing
To give myself to
you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with
you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it's true
Somewhere I
find
Something that's kind
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And
I'll try
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I'll try
And I'll
try
I want it all
Nothing's Impossible
Just give me a reason, some kind of sign
I'll need a
miracle to help me this time
I heard what you said, and I feel the same
I
know in my heart that I'll have to change
Even the stars look brighter
tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first
sight
Nothing's impossible
How did we get to be this far apart?
How
did we get to be this far apart?
I want to be with you, something to
share
I want to be near you, sometimes I care
Even the stars look
brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first
sight
Nothing's impossible
Even the stars look brighter
tonight
Nothing's impossible
If you believe in love at first
sight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first
sight
Nothing's impossible
Damaged People
We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties
that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These
games that we once thought we would be scared of
When you're in my
arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're
crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to
sense
I'm dying
We're damaged people
Praying for something
That
doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the
one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us
When I feel
the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your
lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And
dying
Lillian
Oh, Lillian
Look what you've done
You've stripped
my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Oh, Lillian
I'm a
poor man's son
And precious jewels
Weren't found in schools
Where I
came from
Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose
what you haven't got
Oh, Lillian
I should have run
I should have
known
Each dress you own
Is a loaded gun
Oh, Lillian
Oh,
Lillian
I need protection
I hear your voice
And any choice I had is
gone
Oh, Lillian
Once I begun
I couldn't stop
'til every drop of
blood was sung
Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't
lose what you haven't got
Oh, Lillian
Look what you've done
You
stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Oh,
Lillian
Oh, Lillian
Oh, Lillian
Oh, Lillian
The Darkest Star
Oh you sad one
Playing the Angel
Isn't so easy
where you're from
Oh you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay
satisfied for long
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I
don't want you to be
Something else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal
outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh you blind
one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
I don't
want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone
else for me
Stay as you are
The Darkest Star
Shining for
me
Majestically
Dream On
As your bony fingers close around me
Long and
spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see
Hey you pale
and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a
crooked mile
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you
take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving
There's no time for
hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's
educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling
skin
It lives without it lives within you
Feel the fever
coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that
won't stop you itching
Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a
little love
Dream on dream on
Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh
shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed
It
sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed
ground
Where holiness is never found
Paying debt to karma
You party
for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're
giving
Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little
love
Dream on dream on
Shine
Put on your blindfold
And a dress that's tight
And
come with me
On a mystery night
Open your eyes
Follow our stars
under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to
fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll
steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me
on
I was blind and I saw the light
My angel coming
In a brilliant
white
Shine for me
You've been hanging from a rope of
mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody
has to
Shine for me
It's difficult not to
Shine for me
Follow
our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning
to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV
screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can
turn me on
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by
your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to
Shine for
me
It's difficult not to
Shine for me
Somebody has to
Shine for
me
It's difficult not to
The Sweetest Condition
Taken in by the delicate noise
Knocked to the ground
by the subtle thunder
Shackled and bound by the sound of your
voice
Wandering around in silent wonder
What chance did I have
With
the silver moon
Hanging in the sky
Opening old wounds
Taking hold
of the hem of your dress
Cleanliness only comes in small doses
Bodily
whole but my head's in a mess
Fuelling obsession that borders
psychosis
It's a sad disease
Creeping through my mind
Causing
disabilities
Of the strangest kind
Getting lost in the folds of your
skirt
There's a price that I pay for my mission
A body in heaven and a
mind full of dirt
How I suffer the sweetest condition
Taken in by the
delicate noise
Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder
Shackled and
bound by the sound of your voice
Wandering around in silent wonder
When The Body Speaks
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the
flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The
mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
I'm just
an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world
I'm just a slave
here
At the mercy
Of a girl
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need
your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
To the
soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart
imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body
speaks
All else is hollow
You keep me waiting
For the
promise
That is mine
Please stop debating
Please stop
wasting
Your time
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your
touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
The Dead Of Night
We're the horniest boys
With the corniest ploys
Who
take the easiest girls
To our sleaziest worlds
With our lecherous
plans
In our treacherous hands
You'd be wasting your time
Saying no,
it's a crime
All that we live for you'll regret
All you remember we'll
forget
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're
twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds
We are the dead of
night
We're in the zombie room
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver
spoons
With our decadent minds
And our innocent lines
You'll be
playing our games
With your bodies in flames
When delirious fun
Has
seriously begun
You'll be down on your knees
You'll be begging us
please
All we're demanding you'll supply
All we're accused of we'll
deny
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're
twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds
We are the dead of
night
We're in the zombie room
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver
spoons
Freelove
If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding
from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where
you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered
enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that
you're frightened of
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's
make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings
attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just
free love
I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now
you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running
scared
I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for
truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting
anywhere
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it
clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings
attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just
free love
Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip
away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to
pay
We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And
we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing
here
We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it
clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings
attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just
free love
Comatose
Comatose, almost
You've got me dreaming
Slipping
in
And Sliding out
Of conscious feeling
Take a light
Start the
flame
Play the game
I am lost
In your eyes
Hypnotised
Here I
believe
Dreams never deceive
Comatose, almost
You've got me
dreaming
Slipping in
And sliding out
Life has no meaning
Bodies
move
Colours change
Girl you're strange
Here inside
I'm at
home
I'm alive
Don't be afraid
I'm floating away
Comatose,
almost
You've got me dreaming
Slipping in
And sliding out
Of
conscious feeling
Comatose, almost
Comatose,
almost
Comatose.
I Feel Loved
It's the dark night of my soul
And temptation's taking
hold
But through the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and
trembling
I feel loved
I feel loved
As the darkness closes
in
In my head I hear whispering
Questioning and beckoning
But I'm not
taken in
I feel loved
I feel loved
From the depths of my
emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss
I feel wanted, I feel
desired
I can feel my soul on fire
I feel loved
I feel
loved
Breathe
I heard a rumour
They travel far
You know what it's
like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
Though they don't
understand
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Please tell me
now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not
so
I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on
Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was
tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The
depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing
fine
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on
my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe
love
I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from
someone
I don't know at all
I heard it from Mary
Who heard it from
Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She's telling the truth
I heard it from
Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to
blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with
conviction
That all hope was gone
So I need to know
Your alibis
I
need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Before you say
goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
I Am You
You have bound my heart with subtle chains
So much
pleasure that it feels like pain
So entwined now that we can't shake
free
I am you and you are me
No escaping from the mess we're in
So
much pleasure that it must be sin
I must live with this reality
I am yours
eternally
There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the
facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no
alternative
No, no, no
Dark obsession in the name of love
This
addiction that we're both part of
Leads us deeper into mystery
Keeps us
craving endlessly
Strange compulsions that I can't control
Pure
possession of my heart and soul
I must live with this reality
I am you
and you are me
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
I am you
and you are me
There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No
denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're
with
We've no alternative
No, no, no
Goodnight Lovers
Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a
part of me
That cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've
got
Even though I'm sure it's not
The best for me
When you're born
a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul
brothers
I, I can see the danger signs
They only help to
underline
Your beauty
I'm not looking for an easy ride
True
happiness cannot be tried
So easily
When you're born a lover
You're
born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all
soul sisters
And soul brothers
You can take your time
I'll be
waiting in line
You don't even have to give me
The time of day
When
you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And
soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Martyr
I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my
last breath
As I'm closing on death
I will call out your name
I've
been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your
fun
As the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost
I knew what I was
letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score
I've
been a martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your
feet
I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried
I've been a
martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been
moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers
I knew that I would have
to suffer in vain
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain
I've been
a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for
love
