  1. MONSTER

All along I never knew that it was looking for me
And it's still around even though it would never hurt me
Even though I feel it's near
I close my eyes to this and
I feel the darkened room
Of you, of you, of you
And I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why
All I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why

And I feel the tortured feelings that could never touch me
Crawling all around the ground and they are clawing for me
And the monster it draws near
Something dark is happening
Want to blend into the gray
It will all be over soon
So soon, so soon, so soon
And I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why
All I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why

It's getting dark inside (7 x)
It's getting

All along I never knew that it was looking for me
And it's still around even though it would never hurt me
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
And I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why
All I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why
All I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why
All I know the monster wants me
I'll never know why.

  2. ALONE

I can see the star that you
Hang above your halo
I can feel your cold steel stare
I can feel your heart too
I feel you
With your heart in hand
And your nervous sigh
Are you nervous now
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away

As I lay in darkness
I feel the cold around me
Feel the frozen arms of you
And the solace you bring
I feel you
With your heart in hand
And your nervous high
Are you nervous now
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away

I won't follow you down
And all you say is
Hey, it's okay
I've felt your heartache

I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away
I am alone in this world
And you're never gonna take it away
Way
Way
Way
Way.

  3. FALLING STAR

Is this how it ends
A box of photographs in the closet
Is this how it ends
To fly away right in front of me
Is this how it ends
A falling star crashes in the ocean
Is this how it ends
It falls apart right in front of me

As the fog is lifted
I can see with clarity
The machine, it falls apart
If not put together well
Is this how it ends, like falling stars
Crashing in the ocean
Is this how it ends, a fading light
Burning with the foreign you
As December rain falls
A discovery was made
Other paths were chosen
Somehow lost we'll find our way
Is this how it ends, like falling stars
Crashing in the ocean
Is this how it ends, a fading light
Burning with the foreign you
And you looked away
And you looked away
Yeah, you looked away
And you looked away
And you looked away

Moving closer, faster
Speed of light, it hurts my eyes
Moving farther, faster
Falling stars in the sky
Is this how it ends, like falling stars
Crashing in the ocean
Is this how it ends, a fading light
Burning with the foreign you

Is this how it ends, like falling stars
Crashing in the ocean
Is this how it ends, a fading light
Burning with the foreign you

Is this how it ends, like falling stars
Crashing in the ocean
Is this how it ends, a fading light.

  4. TASTE

I am the one I have to face
All of the things I can't erase
The past is one to always haunt tomorrow

In my defense I can't defend
The fact that I have always been
The one to take what's been given to me
As for desire I've seen the face
Of urban want and urban need
I wonder if you need an explanation

Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face
Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face

I've had a lot of insecurities
All the things I want
All the things I needed
I wanted to pretend that I was wrong
But I had my own thoughts
My own desires

Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face
Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face

I am the one I have to face
All of the things you can't erase
The past is one to always haunt tomorrow

Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face
Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face
Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face
Handed all that I could taste
Faced with more than I could face.

  5. I DON'T NEED

Supercharged, you're superheated
Everything your life has needed
You make your own decision
Carving out your soul, no savior
And the lovely way you cum
And call it love
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
I don't need

Suicide, you're superseded
Farther than you knew you could be
Everything you never needed
Makes my fucking soul bleed out
And the lovely way you cum
And call it love
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
I don't need to know

And the lovely way you cum
And call it love
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
I don't need, don't need, don't need
Don't need to know
Don't need, don't need, don't need to know.

  6. TEACH ME

So I belong to fortunes gone
I'm lucky in life
I've seen the signs and felt your mind
I want to be high
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you

Your candy smile, it fades awhile
And then you give life
Have to forget there's nothing left
It's all about time
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you

I love it when you teach me how
I love it when you teach me
I love it when you teach me how
I love it when you teach

Look through your eyes and see your sky
Is darker than mine
Your charm, your face
Your lovely face, you've got me inside
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you
Hey, I love it when you teach me how to hate you.

  7. BEAR YOUR CROSS

All the years that pass me by
I still wonder why
You left it all behind
You turned away
So I found it on my own
Desire

And you never did look back
To see what I've become
One of forgotten sons
You never knew
So I found it on my own
Desire
Yeah, I found it on my own
Desire
I'll bear this cross you've left behind
I'll bear this cross you've left behind
I'll bear this cross you've left behind
I'll bear this cross you've left behind
Wish we'd talked about it then
I still remember
Don't know what I would have said
But it's too late

Won't forget this now
Won't forget this now
Won't forget this now
Won't forget this now

So I found it on my own
Desire
Yeah, I found it on my own
Desire

I'll bear this cross you've left behind (7 x)
I'll bear this cross you've left.

  8. TREE OF LIFE

You're staring out to sea
You wonder where you could
If everything you are somehow
Were different in a way
Your life was not the same
A billion things led up
To this time
If you were born another time
If you were born another time
If you were born another time
If you were born another time

You could travel through the rain
On a European train
Your destination ends ahead
You live on a desert plain
Waiting for the rain
You'd never be the same somehow
If you were born another time
If you were born another time
If you were born another time
If you were born another
If the tree of life were broken
And you never were who you are
It's a curious mix of fate
And your destiny has its place

If you were born another time. (8 x)

  9. YOU'RE AWAKE

Sight as it blinds
I see the darkness as it comes
And you, you invade everything that I was
All that you could
Everything you are, you as me
Everything you are, you as me
Everything you are
Everything you are
And you know that you're awake 'cause you feel inside
And you know when you're awake 'cause you feel inside

State, state of mind
I feel the crushing weight of all you say
All you think, all you feel
And all you see in front of
Everything you are, you as me
Everything you are, you as me
Everything you are
Everything you are
And you know that you're awake 'cause you feel inside
And you know when you're awake 'cause you feel inside
Feel inside
Feel inside
Feel inside
Feel inside

Sight as it blinds
I hate the darkness as it comes
And you, you invade everything that I was
All that you could
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are

And you know that you're awake 'cause you feel inside
And you know that you're awake 'cause you feel inside
And you know that you're awake 'cause you feel inside
And you know that you're awake 'cause you feel inside.
