is there anybody listening?
eager words are making me an awful mess
you say you need me
we're running out of time
i guess i fear the fear of consequence
you say you'll leave me
but you'll be sorry
you are making me uneasy
you make me want to scream
i wish i was a dumb pop star
so the words wouldn't matter to you
am i living an illusion?
i wanna run away, run away, run away
i feel like i'm losing control
maybe i should let myself go
cause this is so predictable
is there something that i'm missing?
my walls are caving in
i can't hear what you are saying
i'm afraid of giving in
you are making me uneasy
you make me want to scream
i wish i was a dumb pop star
so the words wouldn't matter to you
am i living an illusion?
i wanna run away, run away, run away
i feel like i'm losing control
maybe i should let myself go
cause this is so predictable
i wanna runaway, runaway
little time left to runaway
every time i get somewhere
i wanna runaway runaway
i feel like i'm losing control
maybe i should let myself go
cause this is so predictable

coming out of my cage
and ive been doing just fine
gotta gotta be down
because I want it all
it started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this
it was only a kiss
it was only a kiss
now I'm falling asleep
and she's calling a cab
while he's having a smoke
and she's taking a drag
now they're going to bed
and my stomach is sick
and it's all in my head
but she's touching his chest
now he takes off her dress
now letting me go
I just can't look its killing me
and taking control
jealousy turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
but it's just the price I pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
cause I'm mr brightside
coming out of my cage
and ive been doing just fine
gotta gotta be down
because I want it all
it started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this
it was only a kiss
it was only a kiss
now I'm falling asleep
and she's calling a cab
while he's having a smoke
and she's taking a drag
now they're going to bed
and my stomach is sick
and it's all in my head
but she's touching his chest
now he takes off her dress
now letting me go
I just can't look its killing me
and taking control
jealousy turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
but it's just the price I pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
cause I'm mr brightside
I never I never
I never I never

hold me close and hold me fast
the magic spell you cast
this is la vie en rose
when you kiss me heaven sighs
and though i close my eyes
i see la vie en rose
when you press me to your heart
i'm in a world apart
a world where roses bloom
and when you speak angels sing from above
everyday words seem to turn into love songs
give your heart and soul to me
and life will always be
la vie en rose

what a beautiful face
i have found in this place
that is circling all round the sun
what a beautiful dream
that could flash on the screen
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me
soft and sweet
let me hold it close and keep it here with me
and one day we will die
and our ashes will fly
from the airplane over the sea
but for now we are young
let us lay in the sun
and count every beautiful thing we can see
love to be
in the arms of all i'm keeping here with me
what a curious life
we have found here tonight
there is music that sounds from the street
there are lights in the clouds
anna's ghost all around
hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
soft and sweet
how the notes all bend and reach above the trees
now how i remember you
how i would push my fingers through
your mouth to make those muscles move
that made your voice so smooth and sweet
but now we keep where we don't know
all secrets sleep in winter's clothes
and one you loved so long ago
now he don't even know his name
what a beautiful face
i have found in this place
that is circling all round the sun
when we meet on a cloud
i'll be laughing out loud
i'll be laughing with everyone i see
can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

love of mine
someday you will die
but I will be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
no blinding light
or tunnels to gates of white
just our hands clasped so tight
waiting for the hint of a spark
if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
illuminate the "NO"s on their vacancy signs
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
then I'll follow you into the dark
catholic school
as vicious as roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
by a lady in black
held my tongue
as she told me, "son,
fear is the heart of love."
so I never went back
if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
illuminate the "NO"s on their vacancy signs
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
then I'll follow you into the dark
you and me
have seen everything to see
from Bangkok to Calgary
and the souls of our shoes
are all worn down
the time for sleep is now
it's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
in the blackest of rooms
if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
illuminate the "NO"s on their vacancy signs
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
then I'll follow you into the dark
I'll follow you into the dark
I'll follow you into the dark

long afloat on shipless ocean
I did all my best to smile
tip your singing eyes and fingers
bring me loving to your isle
and you sang,
"sail to me, sail to me, let me unfold you,
here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."
did I dream you dreamed about me?
were you here when I was forced out?
now my foolish boat is leaning
broken, lovelorn, on your rocks
for you sing,
"touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow,
oh my heart, oh my heart, shies from the sorrow."
well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers?
or should I lie with death, my bride?
hear me sing,
"swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you,
here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."

to make my point, dear

if I hold your hand
if you look real closely, my love
you might understand

she eyes me like a pisces when i am weak
i've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
i've been drawn into your magnetar pit trap trap
i wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

broken hymen of your highness, I'm left back
throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

a heart that's full up like a landfill
a job that slowly kills you
bruises that won't heal
you look so tired, unhappy
bring down the government
they don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
a handshake of carbon monoxide
with no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
silence, silence
this is my final fit
my final bellyache
with no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
please
such a pretty house
with such a pretty garden
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
please

jenny, darling, you're my best friend
but there's a few things that you don't know of
why i borrow your lipstick so often
i'm using your shirt as a pillow case
i wanna ruin our friendship
we should be lovers instead
i don't know how to say this
'cause you're really my dearest friend
jenny, darling, you're my best friend
i've been doing bad things that you don't know about
stealing your stuff now and then
nothing you'd miss but it means the world to me
i wanna ruin our friendship
we should be lovers instead
i don't know how to say this
'cause you're really my dearest friend
jenny take my hand
'cause we are more than friends
i will follow you until the end
jenny take my hand
i cannot pretend
why i never like your new boyfriends
oh, your love for them won't last long
forget those amigos
i wanna ruin our friendship
we should be lovers instead
i don't know how to say this
'cause you're really my dearest friend
we should be lovers instead
'cause you're really my dearest friend

there's no one in town I know
you gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance
what would you think of me now
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
what would you think of me now
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
may angels lead you in
may angels lead you in
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
