"Sacrifice"
 
It's so familiar to me;
A gun in your hand, a hole in my chest,
and now you strike a match and inhale.
It's now to the point where it's all so routine,
The anchor's up, your ship has been sailed.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions. I'm your sacrifice.

Dressing yourself up to kill;
You do this for peace, you do this for love,
but you know there has to be loss.
Lives torn apart as you've hit your mark.
You'll take your share at anyone's cost.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.

The metal is cold to lift and to hold,
but now my heart feels the warm undertow.
I cannot breathe. The way I feel about you suffocates.
I will not speak. The words I feel about you go to waste.
I will lay here until my body washes up on shore.
I'll sacrifice with everything I believed in before.
I'll get back up and do it again.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.

"Darling Harbour"
 
In the lighthouse by the sea, at the 33rd degree
You make me feel so special and free
But there's something in the air turning stutters into stares
I look into your blue eyes and say...

(Darling) Don't throw it all away
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me

In the sun I look so pale, northern skin so thin and frail
But I try to close my eyes, when everything starts fading
When I wake up from this dream shivering under cold sheets
Ten thousand mile away, I wish I was on King street

(Darling) Don't throw it all away
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me

Newly risen how brightly you shine
Something seems to give inside my heart when you're nearby
All I've given to you is faking eyes
I don't understand, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it

On a park bench by the street, at the 43rd degree
I'll sit and watch the snow fall and think...

If these walls could tell the tale and excuse to no avail
Will you ever begin to forgive me again, to forgive me now

(Darling) Don't throw it all away
(Darling) I'm here to make you stay with me
(Stay with me)

(Don't throw it all away)
I don't understand
(I'm here to make you stay)
I can't figure it out
I can't figure it

"Dancing On My Grave"
 
GO!

Stop pretending that you're better, you're as guilty as all the rest.
You're planning shelter from this division, a ruined cities aftermath.
Some people call it tragedy, I call it moving on.
I never asked for you to care, I never wanted the things you've got.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

It's so pathetic you care so much, about what other people think.
Practice all your lies in the mirror, for every possible line you face.
So when you push me down the well, will you even call for help?
You'll tell everyone you know, you tried to rescue me yourself.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

You disgust yourself, you believe in nothing.
You'll deny yourself, every happy ending.

It's in your head you'll discover. You're not as consequential as the rest.
In your hand you'll recover, a notice of the truth.
You! Failed! You failed me.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

And now you're praying for your rapture,
As your ego begins to crave the attention of cowards.
You will be there, dancing on my grave.

"Replace You"
 
I'm the setting sun behind the trees, the saddest one you've seen.
I've been burning holes and breaking dreams, and I regret it.
I'm fixing things I've broken, it's not as easy as it used to be.
I'm throwing temper tantrums. I used to settle, but now I make a scene.

You can't believe...

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

You're the swirling wind above the sea, the maddest storm they've seen.
Now you're breaking waves and smashing dreams, and you can't help it.
You're drowning streets and stranding a million people, you're starting out with me.
You're crashing down from anger, your stuff is settled and now you're sound asleep.

And so serene...

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

And when the sun is down and when the skies are calm you'll see, calm will be.
We'll wait for the cycle, we'll repeat our same mistakes. Same mistakes we've always made.

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.
I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can't face.
I can't replace, I can't replace you.

I said I'd never walk away...

"Wish"

Originally by Nine Inch Nails
 
This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now I take it apart
Climbed up real high now fall down real far
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away
I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I'm the one without a soul I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I want to but I can't turn back

"Medication"
 
We'll keep calm and carry on,
With good intentions.
They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs,
Until we're perfect.
So maybe one day we'll be safe,
In control and full of grace.
Never making a mistake,
So flawless.

Cut us deeper to the core,
We won't feel a thing.
Imperfections we ignore,
Embrace indifference.

I wish this wasn't all so hard,
To be yourself and not on guard.
To stop the racing in your heart,
We'll fight it.

Put me under,
Now I'm powerless.
I'll take it all,
I'll take it all,
I'll take it.
I can't breathe without you.

You won't trust me,
I won't trust you too.
You bring me back,
You bring me back,
You bring it.
Medicate me.

Hide me deeper in my shell,
Until I'm all alone.
I'm hearing voices in this cell,
Hallucinating.
I could have sworn I heard it too,
A sad and beautiful adieu.
It's telling me what I should do,
I follow.

Put me under now I'm powerless.
I'll take it all,
I'll take it all,
I'll take it.
I can't breathe without you.

"Sacrifice"
 
It's so familiar to me;
A gun in your hand, a hole in my chest,
and now you strike a match and inhale.
It's now to the point where it's all so routine,
The anchor's up, your ship has been sailed.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions. I'm your sacrifice.

Dressing yourself up to kill;
You do this for peace, you do this for love,
but you know there has to be loss.
Lives torn apart as you've hit your mark.
You'll take your share at anyone's cost.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.

The metal is cold to lift and to hold,
but now my heart feels the warm undertow.
I cannot breathe. The way I feel about you suffocates.
I will not speak. The words I feel about you go to waste.
I will lay here until my body washes up on shore.
I'll sacrifice with everything I believed in before.
I'll get back up and do it again.

Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice.

"Forget Your Heart"
 
Fight these eyes,
They're drawing you, inside.
Sign the name in marker,
Watch the clouds as they got darker.
Felt it start to slip away.
All the schemes were made and plotted,
All the rules have been forgotten now.
I made it by the skin of my teeth again this time.

I'm waiting,
Still waiting,
To get away and make a change,
Seasons last forever in this phase.

Forget your heart.
It's weighing you down inside,
As you confide your life to someone else.
Maybe we're scared to be alone,
We're not prepared to throw the stones,
And watch them drift out of our control.

I braced my body for the sudden impact,
That was more than I ever thought that it would be.
And when it knocked me over,
I've never felt more stiff than sober now.
I'm struggling to get up and run away.
I've wasted,
I've wasted my life away.
I've gotta change,
I've gotta burn the book and turn the page.

Forget your heart.
It's weighing you down inside,
As you confide your life to someone else.
Maybe we're scared to be alone,
We're not prepared to throw the stones,
And watch them drift out of our control.

There's no return,
To what you had when you started,
Before you lost control.
You will never recover.

Fight these eyes,
They're drawing you inside.

Lie down,
And break down,
You're dead.
Lie down before you lose control.
Lie down,
And break down,
You're Dead.
Lie down before you lose control.

Forget your heart.
It's weighing you down inside,
As you confide your life to someone else.
Maybe we're scared to be alone,
We're not prepared to throw the stones,
And watch them drift out of our control.
