Poets Of The Fall - More

Yeah, Decency, she done left our home
On her rollerskates
So I guess she’s pretty far gone.
Left me with my greed
To answer for my own,
For how could a deadened sense
Tell right from wrong?

So thanks for nothing, I ain’t feeling the magic
Kinda comic how I got tragic
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,
What do you give someone who has it all?

More, just to be sure–
I got what I wanted so naturally, I want more,
What I paid for; entertain me now,
All I want is more, ’cause I like it
Too good to let it go, keep it coming
‘Cause I want more ’cause I’m not sure
What I really wanted, suffice to say I want more

Yeah, Modesty, her rule now overthrown,
Packed her teddybear, so as not to go alone
Left me with my pride to live beneath a stone
For how could an amputee ever pick a bone?

So tell me something: isn’t this a bit drastic?
My smile is turning to plastic
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
What’s the secret for staying droll?

More…

You know it isn’t particularly funny;
Killjoy, he walks in just when it’s turning sunny
Killjoy, he lives like it’s all about the money
It’s all about the money, it’s all about the money
It’s all about the money, It’s all about the money.

Poets Of The Fall - 3 AM

More than you know it I′m aware
Of this connection that we share
I know it seems like sometimes I don′t care
But you are the colors that I wear

It′s been a few hours, nearly dawn
You′ve been real quiet all along
Now, I cannot help but think there′s something wrong
Hey baby, what′s going on?

3 AM we seemed alright, couldn′t be better
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone, along with when there′s nothing wrong
3 AM it seemed alright

If I have been thoughtless, let me know
I can take a hint you know, though I′m a little slow
Don′t keep it in you, lest it take root and grow
The bottom line here′s I love you so

3 AM we seemed alright, couldn′t be better
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone, along with when there′s nothing wrong
3 AM it seemed alright

3 AM we seemed alright, like never better
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone, along with when there′s nothing wrong
3 AM it seemed alright

3 AM...

Poets Of The Fall - Sorry Go ′Round

The devil may smile with an angels face
A cat may be stolen of its grace
They say it′s just a matter of time and place

A man may be less than an animal
The antichrist write up the honor roll
The tightrope walker take the final fall (at his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and that′s in
the news)

Oh, the things you see
Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah,
When arrogance does publicity,
Smiling happily

It′s a merry go round and around and around

The begging boy becomes the begging man
The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb
And a child want′s to know if the Candyman can

Everybody want′s the fancy car
And we′ve all been told not to run too far
But everybody wants to be a rock′n′roll star

Oh, the things you see
Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah,
When ignorance spreads conformity,
Smiling happily

It′s a merry go round and around and around

Poets Of The Fall - Don′t Mess With Me

Sometimes I know there′s nothing to say.
So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away?
Do I follow my conscience?
Am I mock sincere?
I don′t know what I′m doing here.

I have a knack for perceiving things.
I can see how it sounds.
I can feel how it sings.
When you paint me an image of who you are,
I know it′s the best by far.

So,
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess my hair, if all you do is fake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t say you care, cos I could never shake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.

No point of view is enough to quell,
the rigors of passion in this world I dwell.
If I′m going to scale the highest wall,
I′m gonna give it my all.

Riding along with this train of thought,
I see everything, I find all I sought.
And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach.
But there′s something I do beseech.

So please,
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess my hair, if all you do is fake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t say you care, cos I could never shake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.

I′ll say it′s not surprising.
You′re sweet talking, mesmerizing, juicy and appetizing.
True.
But will I need to get over you?

Feels like my sun is rising.
Tick, tick, tick, synchronizing, readjusting, organizing me.
Is this fiction reality?

Bless the uncompromising
with no shame for advertising
when my needs go through downsizing
I need someone to pick up my beat.

My dreams need realizing.
Candles on sugar icing.
Judgment and harmonizing,
or it′ll end up like before.

Don′t, don′t, don′t mess my hair, if all you do is fake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t say you care, cos I could never shake it.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.
Don′t, don′t, don′t mess with me.

Poets Of The Fall - You′re Still Here

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling like rhapsody
And I see winter′s broken like lace, in time for a celebration

Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners, delighting in its evident victory
Till I feel springtime counting its days of flaunting a novel sensation

Like it′s leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you′re still here

Hold on to your memories of sundogs and rainbows, as time writes a premature eulogy
And I feel summertime passing in haste, like running out of patience

Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarfs and a mild understanding of irony
I feel autumn leaving the race, all done with the exhilaration

It′s leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you′re still here

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling in harmony
And I feel winter stealing my days, to herald another creation

Poets Of The Fall - Overboard

I see you crying and it rains, washing away the bad days, washing away the pain loss brings...

And then you smile though it aches, cos you don′t believe in mistakes, just that we made a mess of
things...

When the deal that you made with love is just a one way street, a one way street, you feel you′ll go
overboard, cos you′re incomplete, incomplete.

You′re not afraid to rely on any way you can try to learn to make some sense of things.

And the way you say we′ll get by, with a little laugh we can fly, you know the measure of hope that
brings.

I hear you laughing like a child, instead of choking all riled, instead of staring at shortcomings.

Just like the rain when you cried washed all the stains of false pride,
you′ll learn to make the best of things.

Have a little more of not enough
More of what is less but isn′t love
Little of the same you′re dreaming of
That′s enough, that′s enough.

Poets Of The Fall - Everything Fades

Silly thoughts of small deeds. Everything that once answered to your needs. The thoughtless but
kind. The caring but blind. Everything fades away.

Everything fades away, come turning of the tide. For your love I′m sorry. For your pain, don′t
worry. Everything fades away.

Silhouettes and false leads. That which drew you, like a crow to glass beads. Secrets spied. Wishes
sighed. Everything fades away.

All I′m saying is don′t give up, when you′re getting so close. All I′m
saying is don′t give up, it′s the right way you chose.

Poets Of The Fall - Delicious

I hear a sigh, longing for loving in this life
The how and the why, that keeps us running through the night
Touching divine, for me it has only your face
I′m looking to find pieces of wisdom I′ve misplaced

I don′t make the rules dear
You don′t hear the symphony I hear
We don′t get a dollar bill for every shining tear

Fictitious and so real
Love′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
So precious, yet surreal
Life′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah

Witnessing fault in every pawn in the game
The only one called proudly answers to my name
No I don′t know why love is a thief in the night
The one that you try, is your most devoted guide

We don′t make the rules dear
We don′t hear the symphony they hear
We don′t get a dollar bill for every shining tear

Fictitious and so real
Love′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
So precious, yet surreal
Life′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah

So thank you for choosing me, playing me, displaying me
And selling me to slavery, yeah
Thank you for using me, flaying me, erasing me
Awarding me for bravery

Fictitious and so real
Love′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
So precious, yet surreal
Life′s a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah

Poets Of The Fall - Psychosis

Well, it’s a different man in your face
And so out of place,
That you can see anything there that you wish…
Kiss my bliss…
It’s like I’m a welcoming freakshow doormat,
Held in awe while growing fat in the head…
This is where we all should see red;
A big fat wet slab of red.

And I see that it makes me anti-everything…
And I see that it makes me want to shed my skin, shed my skin…

Revelation leading to my psychosis and inspiration.
Digest another hallucination, psychosis by recreation,
Happy till the next deterioration.
Psychosis…

For you it’s a different notion of music and motion,
A dance of lights,
A prosaic ocean,
A delicate nearly transparent creation of somebody’s
Soul on the screen has caught you in between
Of somebody’s life on the stage, and somebodys life on
The frontpage, and this is where we all should see red,
A big fat laughing mouth of red!

And I see that it makes me anti-everything…
And I see that it makes me want to shed my skin, shed my skin…

I think I’m gonna start my own religion…
Seems to be the recipe for a new sensation.
Think it’s gonna make a trendy revolution,
Quite the contribution to the unnatural selection…

Poets Of The Fall - Rewind

What do we have but illusions where one man′s absolute is another′s choice
Giving in to confusion, till love and hate both tempt with the same voice
Won′t you take me to a higher ground, I need to see again the way I′m bound
N′ choose the uneasy redemption, run by fear and the flaws of attraction

Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side
So I′ll know it will not leave me wanting, I see my heart, waving me bye-bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side

If life itself has a meaning, is it anything more than what we choose to call it
Sweet words make appealing, but they only serve to mask the smell of what you buried
Is it worth your while to spend on a lie, even though you cannot see eye to eye
N′ give in to the rumor seduction, run by fear and all the good intentions

Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side
So I′ll know it will not leave me wanting, like my love, kissing me good bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side

If this is how we think we make amends
We′re in for a race that never ends
Where is it we think we′ll go
What is it we think we know
It′ll never change until we change ourselves

Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side
So I′ll know it will not leave me wanting, I see my heart, waving me bye-bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the side
So I′ll know it will not leave me wanting, like my love, kissing me good bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again, light up the dark, halo on the sïde

Poets Of The Fall - Change

You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can′t hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart

But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it′s bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form

How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven shining down

Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it′s throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform

How I wish you′d only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you

My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do

I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew

How I wish you′d only see...

What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I′ve built around my pseudo world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass along

I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity′s waiting alone

How I wish you′d only see...

Poets Of The Fall - Diamonds For Tears

In these days of manmade wonders,
We still bicker over flies…
When you come seeking for forgiveness
I’ll be forced to choose my side.
If I deny you what you’re searching,
Do I do it out of fear?
Am I ruling out my reason,
Killing that which I hold dear?

Out of my way, I’m running with an excuse just underway;
Reality’s so daunting, and I’ve got no way to explain.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name
Why do I turn away and run?
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

In the light of recent findings,
There’s no greater taint than grace,
But to relinquish all our bindings,
Always finds us out of place.
If I rested here a while more,
Would you hold me to your heart?
If I knew what it was meant for,
Would I know to play my part?

Out of my way, I’m leaving;
Another excuse before I’ll stay.
Reality’s applauding;
I know I don’t know the right way.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know you’re the one.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles
Like my darkness closing in,
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands…

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know the good I’ve done.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

Poets Of The Fall - King of Fools

I worry that I can′t give you what you need
That you′ll find nothing underneath the peel
That I can′t undo the times we disagreed
That I can′t ignore the way I feel

Cos what I feel is the only truth I know
And I get by on this naivete of youth

If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I′ll receive
Can I leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

Could you hold us up if I would drag us down?
Resurrect emotions from our past
N′ if they had a king for fools would you wear the crown?
Build us up again and make us last

Cos what I feel is the only truth for me
And I get by on this naivete of youth

If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I′ll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

And if we don′t worry about a thing
Will we be sorry when the rain is falling again
And what does it matter
If fortune should favor
It′s never the final amen

If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I′ll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

Poets Of The Fall - 15 Min Flame

The reaper′s kneeling at your field taking in what you′ve sown
Can′t help feeling apprehension
No point in waiting, for a rating for what you have grown
Look for liquid consolation
If I act accordingly will it save my humanity
You′re either you or a loyalty disowned
Well excuse me

Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame of fame
A name to last for all eternity
Who was it who wanted ingratiation beyond definitions
When love alone is enough to set you free

No escaping though you′re running, you cannot find home
Drowning in your desperation
Conviction seems to follow accusations alone
No place here for an easy redemption
If I lack your tears of joy, please forgive my heartless ploy
Said the fool to his majesty dethroned
Now excuse me

Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame
To name a love to last through all your infamy
Who was it who wanted ingratiation in their definitions
When name alone can jail eternally

Who was it who wanted every sec of the flame

Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame of fame
A name to last for all eternity
Who was it who wanted ingratiation beyond definitions
When love alone is enough to set you free

Poets Of The Fall - Seek You Out

Never said you′d promise anything
Never told to trust you blindly
Never thought you′d hurt me either

Never had a chance now ain′t that so
Never should′ve wept when you let go
Never thought you′d push me away

Sad as it may be
I′m glad it′s over finally
Speaks volumes of me
When letting go is never easy

So I′ll seek you out, just to find myself
And I′ll worry ′bout consequences later
I hear you out, till I hear myself
Hear myself in you

Never knew if we were really true
Never thought I′d ever get to you
Never thought I′d end up like this

Never was I stronger than I′m now
Never felt this much a fool somehow
Never had much thought for myself

Poets Of The Fall - Fire

It′s a bit like a trip, but you hit it with a slip of a tongue, like a whip, and we′re sinking, it
ain′t cool to be cool, though you may think it a laudable tool of self evaluation, of ego
cultivation, n′ I′m rolling my eyes like the stones for the lies, is it really all about the size or
just a simple vice...

Oh, and it makes the news
Oh, cos it sings the blues

I feel the fire flare alight inside me
Higher so I can see
N′ aspire to survive this fight in spite of
Liars and travesty
Oh fire

Did you think that I′d blink, that I′d go and take the ink to your control, that I′d sell my soul,
and does it ring any bells that it sells that we′re living out of shells in a shotgun, if we
couldn′t shoot, we′d have to run, and finally the cerebral fantasy, better genes and machines, so we
can die looking like we′re teens, like snapshot scenes in smithereens...

Oh, and the ones we choose
Oh, witch hunting fools

I feel the fire...

Look there it is in the news again, yeah
There it goes singing the blues again

Fire flare alight inside me...

Fire, return my joy cos I′m so
Tired, tired of me
Inspire the weary eyed to see the
Ire and Irony
Oh fire

Poets Of The Fall - Clevermind

Looking at the road that rises up ahead,
I thought I’d learned a thing or two…
But this is where it’s all made new, and I–
I gotta throw my hands up
‘Cause I can’t go on if I can’t stop.

Look,
The leaves are dead…
The moments gone, there’s no surrender;
Forever now unsaid,
The words that might have warmed December.
It’s all inside your head,
Like fragments of a dream you remember,
So never mind your clever mind, never mind me.

Staring at the ceiling from my bed,
I thought I’d earned a chance or few…
I thought I’d be paid in due
Time isn’t made for waiting,
And past isn’t worth debating.

Look,
The leaves are dead…

Feeling like a fool again…
Just need a new direction,
A new beginning, new beginning…
I can’t hold back and I can’t hold on,
It’s all about gratification;
See me running, see me running…

Look,
The leaves are dead…

Poets Of The Fall - The Ultimate Fling

Today it′s in the air again,
Today another incident that just went off.
No way, this time I will not take the blame
It′s pretty obvious who needs to shut up.
Ashtrays filled with the fruits of our transgressions
Here and there sarcasm overflows.
To stay, I′ll need the sitcom to be rerun till
I get the gist of just how it goes.

So what would you have me do?

Give me a reason, come on now, make my day,
Cos I′m out of cheats to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Somehow I′ve been blindsided by my own,
Kindhearted notion of just who we are.
No doubt we′d have collided anyway
With me indicted and you raising alarm.
First round, I′ll take my bows into my corner
Take my vows, regroup and run back again.
Bloodhound, I know no better pedigree than
What you see, so you could not offend.

Did I act like a fool
′Cause I didn′t know what to do
When you gave me just a little bit more Than I bargained
for,
A little too much in my hands when my hands are tied.
It′s the ultimate fling to go frolicking,
Licking the muck from the soles of the boots of your pride,

Every time you lied...

Give me a reason, come on now, make my day,
Cos I′m out of cheats to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Can you give me a reason, I′m moving into grace,
Something I can hold on, at the end of the day
′Cause I can′t move on ′til I know what′s the deal.

Give me a reason, come on now, make my day,
Cos I′m out of cheats to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Give me a reason, come on now, make my day,
Оh, come on, please now, someone′s gotta pay.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Poets Of The Fall - Shallow

More in my face
Than is my taste
I grow so weary I′ll surrender

To what they say
Let them lead the way
Till′ I can no longer remember

My darling dreams
Prewritten scenes
Whatever felt my own

So to save face
I′ll take my place
Where I may safely feel alone

Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs so cold

I′m quick to wait
Too slow to take
They call me gracious for my patience

And I feel proud
Under that shroud
And all the while it′s all evasion

Some humor here
To fend off fear
And I′m a little more lost, oh dear

So to save face
I′ll hold my place
So I may safely feel alone...

Poets Of The Fall - Heal My Wounds

I burn to make you understand
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
For the fates are devious by heart
They envy you your dreams, so they′ll let you drown

And there is no why, there is no how, it′s like the sky, just one free flow
But you′re here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, cos the show is on right...

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don′t fall down when it′s time to arise
No-one else can heal your wounds

Once again taboo becomes your law
What you want seems taken by another tide turning
Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky,
riding dreams to some other side

Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
I′m done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, cos the show is on right...

Here and now...

The bigger the lies
The more they want to believe them
And like a vice
Hold on to what they believe in

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don′t fall down when it′s time to arise
No-one else can heal your wounds

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don′t fall down cos I need you to rise
No-one else can heal my wounds

Poets Of The Fall - Given and Denied

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I′ve let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear

Oh to see the sun′s eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I′ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain′t no doubt
When it′s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We′re given and denied

Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies ′round vacant swings
Give me those wings

Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I′m weightless again
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind...

Before I′ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain′t no doubt
When it′s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind...

Poets Of The Fall - Dawn

When darkness is no less than everything you′ve built become undone
There′s no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun

It′s time to let go, it′s time to carry on with the show
don′t mourn what is gone, greet the dawn

n′ I will be standing by your side
together we′ll face the turning tide

Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow
Don′t lose it, don′t refuse it, cos you cannot learn a thing you think you know

A new light is warm, shining down on you after the storm
Don′t mourn what is gone, greet the dawn

n′ I will be standing by your side
together we′ll face the turning tide

Poets Of The Fall - Dying to live

Tell me this, would you miss it, trying on another face again to see if it′s you
N′ wondering where you′ve been and where you′re gonna find yourself before the night is through

I know the way you go cos I′ve been the same for too long
Like I′m fearful that my choices are all wrong
I know the way you go cos I′ve lived your life of make believe
Dying to live

Tell me this, is it lonely in the shadow of a masquerade for life you hide behind
What′s the deal with your reasons to run away and let your feelings leave you undefined

I know the way you go...

Behind me now the winding road they sing of
I′ve come to stand before a silent wall
Finally a chance to find a question
To point out the right answer after all ...this time

So rid us of the plight, the plight of self affliction
Generations choice the drug of self deception

I know the way you go...

Poets Of The Fall - Fragile

You’ve been biting bullets all these years, I know,
There beside yourself choking on tears,
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you placed your beds on bittersweet.

Now, don’t you worry,
No need to be sorry,
Time to step lightly…

‘Cause the love you used to feel is still there, inside;
It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care
So don’t hide.
If you’re scared I’m here beside you,
If you get lost I’m here to guide you,
And I’ll give you peace when peace is fragile.
Love is all the good in you,
Love is peace when peace is fragile.

You’ve been going out of way to agree,
And you’ve been rubbing yourself all wrong
Just to be somebody elses genie.
Catering to your disaster’s every need,
Waiting to finally be set free.

I said baby don’t worry,
Life will carry,
Just take it slowly.

‘Cause the love…

Poets Of The Fall - Desire

Fatal velocity, comes on with a rush, overpowering, gives the final push

What never moves, is never still, who has the final word
It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide
So run for your life

A false sincerity, a liar and a thief, my pulse and memory, a comfort within grief

What never moves, is never still, who has the final word
It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide

Given into this sensation, feel I′ve run too far
Cannot see beyond emotion, see what the options are
With no faith to trust the notion, I fear I′m losing all control

Kill...

Poets Of The Fall - Dreaming Wide Awake

Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I′m the one not laughing
Down here on the floor

Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I′ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I′ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I′ll dream you... wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can′t let you go

Mercy, like water in a desert
Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now

Another place and time...

I′ll dream you... wide awake

It′s like I′m racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
Cos I′m afraid I will be left here without you
Like I′m racing not to run, give more when I have none
Cos I′m afraid I will be left here without you... wide awake

Another place and time...

I′ll dream you... wide awake.

Poets Of The Fall - Locking Up The Sun

They′re locking up the sun, the light of reason gone,
n′ hope has been succesfully undone
The question′s burning on, where is it coming from,
no-one seems to know the monster born

It′s a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems
responsible
Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone
expendable
Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the
day
Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
Who doesn′t turn a blind eye to a crime

They′re locking up the sun, they have their chosen one,
you know this time they′ll make him play along
They′re taking to the arms, the fathers and their sons,
there′s nowhere left to run and hide

It′s a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems
responsible
Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone
expendable
Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the
day
Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
Who doesn′t turn a blind eye to a crime

And in the emptiness, there′s a solution,
just look within yourself for absolution

Poets Of The Fall - Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day

I′d stay the hand of god, but the war is on your lips
How can I brace myself for razor blades on whips
When everything with meaning is shattered, broken, screaming
And I′m lost inside this darkness and I fear I won′t survive

I could pray and trick with a double tongue, but the only fool here′s me
I choose the way to go, but the road won′t set me free
Cos I wish you′d see me, baby, save me, I′m going crazy
Tryin′ to keep us real, keep us alive

This day will die tonight and there ain′t no exception
We shouldn′t wait for nothing to wait for
Love me in this fable, babe, my heart is in your hand
Our time is waiting right outside your door
And maybe tomorrow is a better day

I do not deal the cards and I play a lousy hand
I celebrate no victories and my promises are sand
Against all this I contrast you, when all is lost the war is through
Hey angel, dare the winds now we can fly

This day will die tonight and there ain′t no exception
Why should I wait for nothing to wait for
Let me love you in this fable, hold your heart in my hand
Our time is waiting right outside your door
And maybe tomorrow is a better day

This day will die tonight and there ain′t no exception
Why should I wait for nothing to wait for
I won′t cry for my solitude, lay my head and dream of you
And hope that you′ll come knocking on my door
And maybe tomorrow is a better day
I know tomorrow is a better day

Poets Of The Fall - Miss Impossible

She can see about four satellites
Every minute of the hour,
And find a four leaf clover
Where you never saw a flower.
She’s habitually paradoxical, a Parallel Perpendicular.

Barefoot in nightgowns, that’s how she dances in the rain;
Sundown to Sundown, like she was washing away her pain…

As she is beatiful, she’s unpredictable;
Damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her?
She is my common sense, revels on decadence,
But what’s the difference? It’s impossible to bait her.

She can really be a handful,
Like the brownies that she bakes you…
It can be a tad hysterical,
But never quite the breakthrough;
She’s some kind of an epitome, the sea of intranquility.

In flimsy nightgowns, barefoot she dances in the rain;
Sundown to Sundown, like she was washing away her pain…

As she is beatiful, she’s unpredictable,
Damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her?
She is my common sense, revels on decadence,
But what’s the difference? It’s an impossible debate.

As she is beautiful…

Barefoot in nightgowns, that’s how she dances in the rain;
Sundown to Sundown, like she was washing away her pain…
In flimsy nightgowns, barefoot she dances in the rain;
Sundown to Sundown, like she was washing away her pain…

As she is beautiful…

Poets Of The Fall - Passion Colors Everything

This is my toothpaste moment.
Oh, I’ll need to flash a smile.
I’ll be the super-absorbent-man,
Watch them flock to me in single file.
And I’ll need to do it with style,
I need to keep me up to date…
Swallowing the sun, run another mile,
It’s overrated how we underrate.

I dance in tune with what I fear
To do adrenaline;
Completely rapt with what I hear,
When passion colors everything…
The songs I sing from way out there to deep within,
The face I wear behind my grin,
The price I pay for my original sin,
Everything, everything, everything…

I have a mind for simple things,
But things are not of mind to simplify;
There’s always some loophole technicality…
You buy into and pay until you die.
And money doesn’t bring me joy,
It’s more a darling dead weight,
And I seem to have lost my appetite,
It’s underrated how we overrate.

I dance entangled with my dear,
She pulls my every string.
Completely trapped yet never here,
When passion colors everything…

And when I’m finally brought to my senses,
Parade the rain on my parade
Before I’m back to my defenses
To watch the whole thing escalate.

Poets Of The Fall - Daze

Rolling down the freeway, master to the speed of light,
Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night
No rest, I′ve stayed here too long, It′s time to move on

Reality′s a three way, a scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines
If there′s ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame

And you can give me everything I need this way
We′ll be loving till the first light of the day

Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?

Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good
With constant companions, would that I could
Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me

So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I′ve seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms

And you can give me everything I need this way…

Set the world on fire...

Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun
I give you the reason I′m still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon

Set the world on fire...

Poets Of The Fall - Roses

I′ve walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real,
held no appeal
I′ve been to places, I′ve seen the tidings,
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

So when I′m crying alone
Yeah, when I′m cold as a dying stone

Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I′ll try again

I′ve heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need,
behold the demons that I freed
I′ve tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn′t seem to happen when you hide away
the seed
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I′d forlorn
For if I′m stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

So when I′m crying alone
Yeah, when I′m cold as a dying stone

Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I′ll try again

Without you I′m nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing seems impossible
It all seems to fit the frame

So when I′m crying alone
Yeah, when I′m cold as a dying stone

Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I′ll try again

Poets Of The Fall - Late Goodbye

In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer′s eyes
on the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by

and we keep driving into the night
it′s a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
and we keep driving into the night
it′s a late goodbye

your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
you made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by

and we keep driving into the night
it′s a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
and we keep driving into the night
it′s a late goodbye

the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he′s dealt us
points at your flaming hair, and then we′re playing hide and seek
I can′t breathe easy here, less our trail′s gone cold behind us
till′ in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak

and we keep driving into the night
it′s a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...

Poets Of The Fall - Stay

Morning comes slow today
Memories push through from yesterday
Where will I be tomorrow
What will I have to show

From my life

Stay, I need you here for a new day to break
Stay, I want you near, like a shadow in my wake

Flow with life down the drain
Memories and force of will sustain
Where will I be tomorrow
What will be left to show

It′s the little things, little things, little things, that make the world.

Poets Of The Fall - War

Do you remember standing on a broken field
White crippled wings beating the sky
The harbingers of war with their nature revealed
And our chances flowing by

If I can let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me a reason to try

Turn the page I need to see something new
For now my innocence is torn
We cannot linger on this stunted view
Like rabid dogs of war

I will let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible
When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why

With no-one wearing their real face
It′s a whiteout of emotion
And I′ve only got my brittle bones to break the fall

When the love in letters fade
It′s like moving in slow motion
And we′re already too late if we arrive at all

And then we′re caught up in the arms race
An involuntary addiction
And we′re shedding every value our mothers taught

So will you please show me your real face
Draw the line in the horizon
Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought

When I thought that I fought this war alone...

Poets Of The Fall - Smoke and Mirrors

I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth
We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth

But there was no harmony there
No reason for coexistence
Nothing to span the distance, now

Do we even know who we are
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We′re like mirrors seen through smoke

I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace
Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways

But there was no loyalty to hope
And funny the need for mercy
How it makes us bleed all mercy, now

Do we even know who we are...

Now the melody′s void of sympathy
cos that shit′s in byte size bits on YouTube
so tell me what am I supposed to do
When the malady′s no remedy
Till we reach the lowest absolute
And necessity will finally force something through what′s walling you

Do we even know who we are...

Poets Of The Fall - Illusion & Dream

Look in my eyes I′ll make you see
We′re drifting aimlessly
Blind in a world of make believe

Hear them sing their songs off key
N′ nod like they agree
Buying the need to be discreet

I′ve got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
What′s going on fails to concern me, Cos I′m locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out
Out of my mind

It′s whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
That the images they sell are illusion & dream
In other words dishonesty

If I speak Ill, please, humor me
Won′t rant on endlessly
Just thought I′d try to make you see

It doesn′t solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if
You′re still going to drown
So you know what drives me out
Out of my mind

It′s whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
That the images they sell are illusion & dream
In other words dishonesty

So can you name your demon?
Understand its scheming
I raise my glass and say "here′s to you"
Can you chase your demon?
Or will it take your freedom?
I raise my class and say "here′s to you"

I′ve got no hand...

Poets Of The Fall - Revolution Roulette

If this machine doesn’t stop
What will you do if it never goes out,
Never goes out of season?
It never stops as it turns…
There ain’t no passion, yet it burns,
Introducing my prison.
Losing myself in this place…
Soon I’m gone without a trace,
Freed with that final incision.
Look, my heart, it’s a bird;
It needs to sing and to be heard
Not this clockwork precision.

And The Machine grows idiotic;
Who’s gonna be it’s ingenious critic?

Everybody loves the perfect solution,
To beat the odds
Against the poorest possible substitution.
What you see is never what you’re gonna get…
Everybody’s playing Revolution Roulette.

Leaves you no arguments to trade;
You can try the key or you can wait,
But the lock will not open.
So you’re left with sanity to lose
‘Cause the machine is a ruse,
Another invention to rule them..
It’s like a fistful of snake eyes,
A hand grenade with bye byes,
Like a million spent on nothing.
Look…
It’s kinda like a pick in their lock,
When you never went knock knock.
“Hello, anybody home? I’m coming in…”
With a touch of foreboding.

And the machine grows parasitic;
Who’s gonna critisize the good critic?

Everybody loves…

Everybody has the perfect solution,
But it’s just hard to resist the sweet seduction.
There ain’t no trick to winning double what you bet…
Welcome to Revolution Roulette.

Everybody loves…
