Memory

in a way it's a shame, all you were once fades away, on the hour, dreadful hour, fate has no sympathy • in a way it's a shame, all you were once fades away, on the hour, for survival, you turn your heart away from pain of memory • lost in the past in vain i grasp, and I grasp • though nothing lasts, still I'm unable to let go of that eerie melody, I can hear but never sing • time's lament, for things we can't forget • in a way it's okay, all you were once fades away, on the hour, dreadful hour, regretful, painful memory • it's a shame, we're the same, never really here nor there, oh let me stay sweet painful, bonny memory • lost in the past in vain I grasp, and I grasp • though nothing lasts, still I'm unable to let go • of that eerie melody, I can hear but never sing • time's lament, for things we must forget • have sympathy when you play that eerie melody • I can hear but never sing • oh, let me stay and feign in misery • sweet painful, bonny memory • time's lament is memory

Carnival Lights

from three blocks away I can see the lights, hear the sounds, cold august night, I'm in debt for life • these precious things, they scream, they laugh, they howl, "hey, we don't know what we want!" • the air thick with their taunts, "Hey!" • do you know the smell, carnival? popcorn, candy foam, the stench of piss and violence • somethings, once were's, might haves, and never was • cold august night, your whole history comes crashing down • in those sacred and reckless years when i brazenly swore there were things I would never do • then the crimson and cloudless sky echoed everywhere, "there is no thing you wouldn't do" • these restless fiends, they scream, they laugh, they howl, "hey, we don't know what we want!" • they air thick with their taunts, "Hey, we don't know what we want!" • from three blocks away I can see the lights, hear the sounds, cold august night, I'm in debt for life

Natural Sin
04:23
|
|||
|
I don't want to know you, I don't want to know me, while we wander lost in the dark • reaching to nothing, where there's no hope • if you wanted to touch me, you can touch me, as long as it hurts • don't try to tell me the sweet things that used to be • don't try to tell me • how we used to be just innocent romantics • waltzing blind, eyes wide with trust • two suicide souls intertwined, reaching blind in the dark • I don't want to know you, I don't want to know me, this is the opposite of love • this is destroying yourself, then someone else • don't try to me what sweet things we used to be. don't try to tell me • how we used to be just innocent romantics • waltzing blind, eyes wide with trust • two suicide souls intertwined, reaching blind in the dark • honest as the sky, her eyes wild and lost she says, "dear I fear there is no other side" • I declare, honest as the sky, love won't die • so long as you remember • when we used to be just innocent romantics • waltzing blind, eyes wide with trust • two suicide souls intertwined, reaching blind in the dark • I don't want to be, a used to be • this is the nature of, the meaning of sin

Impossible Nevers
03:47
|
|||
|
of summers gone, when the nights were long, together we walked in the glowing dark • arm and arm down the old boardwalk • I remember the song played upon the rocks. we kissed on the dock in the glowing dark • on and on down the old boardwalk • the sirens call • I want to confess something to you • someday you'll know • while chasing shadows, impossible nevers, then you'll know, I tried to confess something to you • that summer's gone, when the nights were long • alone now I walk in the glowing dark • on and on down the old boardwalk • the sirens call • I want to confess something to you. someday you'll know • while chasing shadows, impossible nevers, then you'll know, I tried to confess something to you

Two Forgets
04:48
|

|
on some other time you and I, we burned together • was I so vicious? I loved you more than scars and thoughts combined • searching for truth, what can i say? simply, I lost you • remember the night you crashed up the curb watching me pass you by? • I came back alright. truth is, I found you most beautiful when you cried • do you still cry? • two forgets, that's all we are • there's nothing left of who we were • sometimes at night I still • no, no regrets, for now on • it's been awhile • let's not fool ourselves, we're both in love with someone else • where did it go? • sometimes at night it takes me by the throat • do you remember me? • I remember you • two forgets, that's all we are • there's nothing left of who we were • sometimes at night I still • no, no regrets for now on • the saddest thing I know, is when someone you loved, you don't love anymore

When the World was New
04:21
|
|||
|
when the world was new, the misery of age is the romance of youth • everything you thought you knew is certainly certain to turn on you • when the world was new, we spat in the faces of those who created this Eden in which we wander through • all things fade, then fade away. even love, love fades away • when the world was new, we laughed at the pyres which burned in the wake of the tempest in which we were born • when the world was new, I was careless and cruel, and loved every minute, until the moment I lost you • all things fade, then fade away. even love, love fades away • why keep something that's not in your heart? all things pass and that's just a start • let them go, and you'll see we're all alone in the end. now you see, we're all alone while we're here • all fall down • all things fade, then fade away. even love, love fades away

Asleep on the Phone
04:25

|
there's no sense in pretending. there's no sense in pretending not to pretend • your story is ending • it's been ending since you had the idea • your missing the point now sweet thing • we're not that far • he stares in the dark by the window, echoes and forgets, are you there? where did you go? • there's no sense in pretending. there's no sense in pretending not to pretend • your story is ending • it's been ending since you had the idea • I know all your thoughts now sweet thing. your sad sigh talks as you're breathing • wakes up and walks though the dark as you sleep on the phone • don't be scared • they say there's nothing there to worry for. they say there's nothing there. are you sure? • we've met here, there before • in some recent, distant time unknown • a name echoes and forgets where you let me go • there's no sense in pretending

Coast Starlight
03:52
|
|||
|
I went away from the life I knew, faded into memories • they still haunt me now • on the train, on the coast starlight, in the middle of the night, frozen scenes passing by • I thought that i heard you say • say that you're lonely now, that you want to me back running wild and crazy in the rain • say that you're lonely now, that you want to go back to the way that things might have been • I went away from a love that stood in love's defiant bravery, to say I won't let you go • no matter how far you go away on the coast starlight • in the middle of the night can you hear me say • baby I'm lonely now, I want you back running wild and crazy in the rain • baby I'm lonely now, I want you back for the sake of all that might have been • Can you hear me say • baby I'm lonely now, I want to go back running wild and crazy in the rain • baby I'm lonely now, I want to go back for the sake of all that might have been • so baby I'm coming home on the coast starlight just to hold you in my arms again • I know we'll never be the same

Fountain of Youth
03:47

|
I just found the fountain of youth • it's not what you think, no it's not what you'd expect • you ask me how, you ask me where, I'll take you there • it starts in the past, you see her standing there • like a scratch whose sting lasts, you realize this is not a myth • love is not a myth • I just found the fountain of youth • it's not what you think, no it's not what you'd expect • you ask me how, you ask me where, I'll take you there, chances are, if you look in your heart, you're already there • you see, love is a fountain of youth • love is a fountain of youth
