1. TORCH SONG

I saw you. Angels came to light your path.
I heard you keep their wings pressed under glass.
Now am I 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 so pale and weak
When I looked through
You and I 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'd do
(anything)
I'll tear out my soul for you, my dear. oh my dear
(anything)
To feel everything as you do. I do

Anything
Anything... oh

Leave me
Leave me to grieve that nothing's lost. nothing's lost
Leave me
But when you leave me, know nothing's lost. nothing's lost

(anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(anything)
To see everything that you do. I'd do
(anything)
I'll tear out my soul for you, my dear. oh my dear
(anything)
To feel everything as you do. I do

2. BEAUTIFUL THIEVES

My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight 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

Ah

Oh,
Are we running toward death?
I have met him times before
He adores us 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


3. END TRANSMISSION

Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.
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."
Know who we are.

With the lights 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 the morning's son.
Go grab your bag i'll bring the gun, 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."

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag i'll bring the gun, the gun.

Everything was burning bright.
Everyone was frightened.
You said stay strong.
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited
Still remains when we're gone.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag i'll bring the gun, oh.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag i'll bring the gun, the gun.
I'll bring the gun
Oh...


4. TOO SHY TO SCREAM

I come quietly. Silent entities
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'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 I even speak
I'd warn that you should leave before
You're seen with me.

I'd die
If you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
Will you pause to break my heart?

I'd die
If you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
Will you pause to break my heart?

Will you pause to break my heart?
Will you pause?

I am everywhere,
Everywhere but here.
I am everywhere,
Everywhere but here.

I'd die
If you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
Will you pause to break my heart?

I'd die
If you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
Will you pause?

I'd die
If you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
Will you pause to break my heart?

Will you pause to break my heart?
Will you pause?


5. VERONICA SAWYER SMOKES

Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
Far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
Who's 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 closed 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.


6. OKAY, I FEEL BETTER NOW

There is nothing to me
There is nothing, though 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 breathe
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
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
Easily can be dispelled
I cannot breathe
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
I could not take
'Til I made you cry

Show your wounds I'm bored with mine
Nothing is new
Don't despair, I rarely cry
Oh my

Oh my, dear, please dry your eyes
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised
As I'd love to

For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time
I could not take
I could not take
'Til I made you cry

'Til I made you cry
'Til I made you cry
'Til I made you cry


7. MEDICATE

Oh!

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 in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name. Medicate.

Come day, you'll say you cannot stay.
What's 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 in 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.

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in 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.


8. I AM TRYING VERY HARD TO BE HERE

Before you came, what was your name?
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 no fixtures
(Quick now, quick)
Take our picture
(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
(Whoa-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh!

What was your past?
When was the last time that you recall
Someone you 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

(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
(Quick now, quick)
Take our picture
(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
(Whoa-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh!

We can't, can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow
We can't, can't recall the feelings that
We cannot show
Oh!
(Whoa-oh)
(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
(Quick now, quick)
Take our picture
(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
(Whoa-oh)
Whoa-oh!

(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
Quick now, quick
Take our picture
(Flash, flash, car crash)
We're no fixtures
(Whoa-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh!
(Hey, hey)
Oh!


9. SACRILEGE

I'm never gonna understand this.
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 punchline.

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


10. DARLING, I WANT TO DESTROY YOU

Were you dying to go? 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.

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...

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.

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
Darling I want to destroy you.


11. COLD HANDS

How I regret what I must do 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
Oh, We had found sacred ground, you burnt down.

I thought you sang so 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.
We had found sacred ground
Oh, We had found sacred ground, I'll burn down

I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.

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.


I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song
I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song


12. IT WAS MINE

Don't move
Don't do anything
What we captured got away,
Slipped from us

Don't speak, don't
Don't say anything,
They've been recording all 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,
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
To change anything
Nothing pure can every stay

They'll say
Relax, you'll be fine.

All we love goes away

They'll take
All you let them find..
It was mine.
