The girls on the streets look all sad in this gold encrusted little town Why is that? Isn’t this the town of dreams? Yeah, but it comes with a price It’s a town that never does anything and takes all the credit A place that promises so much and never has a thing to say Or a care in the world There is no memory here No dream for itself but the dreams of others And all over the world you talk about a place you’ve only seen in the re-runs Immortalized by its vice and deified for its carnage There’s money in the air there All you have to do is reach up and grab it. In basements, garages, parking lots, empty lots, school yards, town cars, Back rooms and more… Diamonds are fashioned from expectations and fortified on a steady diet, Of simple lives and red carpets The ejaculating zeitgeist in night vision Culture is a punch line in a motionless blood in the water The sharks here play games you can’t fathom But you flock here anyway On college money and credit cards Spend a week bullshitting yourself that it was all true, All of it… Just to watch in horror as it all falls into pieces into the gravity of reality The starry eyes fade as it dawns on you, Nothing is guaranteed You are a part of the great divide, the chosen, or the frozen Now your miles away without an egg, Your college money is a collage of debt And your credit cards are all snapped in fucking half. Time to wander a landscape in berethed of mercy This is now the back lot of your failed movie A waking dream re-written without your permission The real luster, the soft focus, the soap opera vision Is just the hindsight of a world who’s just been lied to Of sad surfs, and untouchable lords You took a chance didn’t you? The chance didn’t have a par for you this time around Maybe next life. And you can’t even walk home The girls on the street all look sad in this cardboard cut-out little town No wonder, that’s the only thing here that’s real The gold is for fools and paradise is lost But the hungry have never bothered with the cost Day by day they fall away like rose petals Like ink that won’t dry or fade It just runs wild down cracks and crevices, grooves and folds So I hope someone saves you, before you get cold I really do. Because the girls are on set in this little black book If you don’t believe me take a closer look. If you can..?
The morning lights Annealing eyes with cold A tempest rides Defiling skies like mould
I see a dream being wide-awake This world is running mad A crazy trick that I can′t take When limbo lies ahead
I see the Nile entombed in a hyaline case So clear as a heavenly blaze The hoary bodies of hippos froze in glaze Sphinxes surmount with lacteal bays Resignedly standing at gaze When croak of perishing toads expires in haze
Palm-trees have bowed to winds Falling to vitreous sands Wherries like pointed splints Stick out of stony bents
Does anyone retrieve a key? Which devilry we meet? Uncanny scenes have seemed to me And overturned my creed
I can′t feel my senses I just feel the cold All colors seem to fade away I can′t reach my soul I would stop running, if knew there was a chance It tears me apart to sacrifice it all but I′m forced to let go
Tell me I′m frozen but what can I do? Can′t tell the reasons I did it for you When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you You say that I′m frozen but what can I do?
I can feel your sorrow (I sacrifice) You won′t forgive me But I know you′ll be all right It tears me apart that you will never know but I have to let go
Tell me I′m frozen but what can I do? Can′t tell the reasons I did it for you When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you You say that I′m frozen but what can I do?
Everything will slip way Shattered peaces will remain When memories fade into emptiness Only time will tell its tale If it all has been in vain
I can′t feel my senses I just feel the cold Frozen... But what can I do? Frozen...
Tell me I′m frozen but what can I do? Can′t tell the reasons I did it for you When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you You say that I′m frozen, Frozen...
You only see what your eyes want to see, how can life be what you want it to be. You′re frozen when your heart′s not open, you′re so consumed with how much you get.
You waste your time with hate and regret, you′re frozen when your heart′s not open. If I could melt your heart, we′d never be apart. Give yourself to me, you are the key.
Now there′s no point in placing the blame and you should know I′d suffer the same. If I lose you, my heart would be broken, love is a bird, she needs to fly.
Let all the hurt inside you die, you′re frozen when your heart′s not open. If I could melt your heart, we′d never be apart. Give yourself to me, you are the key.
You only see what your eyes want to see, how can life be what you want it to be. You′re frozen when your heart′s not open.
If I could melt your heart, we′d never be apart. Give yourself to me, you are the key.
If I could melt your heart, we′d never be apart. Give yourself to me, you are the key.
You only see what your eyes want to see How can life be what you want it to be You′re frozen when your heart′s not open You′re so consumed with how much you get You waste your time with hate and regret You′re frozen when your heart′s not open
If I could melt your heart We′d never be apart Give yourself to me You are the key
Now there′s no point in placing the blame And you should know I′d suffer the same If I lose you, my heart would be broken Love is a bird, she needs to fly Let all the hurt inside of you die You′re frozen when your heart′s not open
If I could melt your heart We′d never be apart Give yourself to me You are the key
You only see what your eyes want to see How can life be what you want it to be You′re frozen when your heart′s not open
If I could melt your heart We′d never be apart Give yourself to me You are the key
If I could melt your heart We′d never be apart Give yourself to me You are the key
Misted windows Hide your empty eyes Every moment, every whisper Separates you from me I’ve been screaming Won’t you let me in? Let me see a trace Of the places hidden Under your skin
[Chorus:] I foster illusions Of which I am afraid unknown emotions Repel your embrace I foster illusions Of which I am afraid afraid of your embrace
Needles sting me When you look away And your silence Sounds like deafening screams to me I’ve been waiting Won’t you open your heart? And let me in Please let me in
[Chorus]
Free your mind from doubt All you have, is now Free your mind from shame It will only bring you pain
Misted windows Hide your empty eyes Every moment, every whisper Separates you from me I′ve been screaming Won′t you let me in? Let me see a trace Of the places hidden Under your skin
Chorus: Answer me, Till that day that you do I′ll be one step behind you Answer me, Till the day that you do I′ll be waiting here for you (2x)
Needles sting me When you look away And your silence Sounds like deafening screams to me I′ve been waiting Won′t you open your heart? And let me in Please let me in
Repeat chorus
Free your mind from doubt All you have, is now Free your mind from shame It will only bring you pain
