You think that you’re just being clever But you got holes in your alibis You said I’d do the same but I swear I’d never I’ve got far too much pride You’re way too hard to tame, a human hurricane A place where nothing grows And like a fireball you could ignite us all But you’d rather slowly devour me There was once a time when I thought you’d give more I built a house out of lies and you blew down the door You’re a well fed lion that steals scraps from the table Just for fun and games Until you’re bored again You think that everybody is watching But you’re alone in delinquency You only cry cause baby wants it’s bottle A god in virtual reality With seven deadly sins you somehow count to ten I need to turn you off And like a dying sun you need to drag someone With you down into your misery There was once a time when I thought you’d give more I built a house out of lies and you blew down the door You’re a well fed lion that steals scraps from the table Just for fun and games Until you’re bored again Further, deep into your darkest desires You drag me down, drag me down You stick to me like napalm Ooooo ooo ooo oooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oooo ooooooooo ooooooo oooo oooooo (Oooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo) There was once a time when I thought you’d give more I built a house out of lies and you blew down the door You’re a well fed lion that steals scraps from the table Just for fun and games Until you’re bored again

The rain falls down the gutter, gone Forever, draining out of sight The sky moves closer to the ground And all these lovers claim the sea She holds me as the sun goes down And then I feel her warmth wash over me again My name belongs to you my love Forget it, it’s just a memory I don’t exist when we’re apart I’m just some shade on a sunny day She tells me her and I are one And then I feel the Earth move fiercely once again Let’s kill silence like it was a sin Your voice soothes better than the wind We’ll drown sorrow deep in the ocean And talk about our demons as if they were friends Grab the car and drive all night We burn horizons down Red lined but not enough We can take off from the ground My shooting star

Good morning beautiful Took a chance now we’re living a dream There’s blue skies behind the storm And there’s lightning in your eyes Good morning unicorn Finally found you after all these years I can swear I’ll never let you go If you can promise not to pull the plug on me We kiss the world, cradle the sky We hope for more Cause we’ll get it baby Black sheep Siamese You and me against it all Our love will echo through the halls of time Armageddon couldn’t kill the alchemy Don’t move, don’t shut your eyes I wanna remember you like this forever A lovely way to pass the time Right next to you And no one else baby A lovely way to pass the time Right next to you And no one else baby
