We can fight our desiresOooh but when we start making firesWe get ever so hotOooh whether we like it or notThey say we can love who we trustOooh but what is love without lust?Two hearts with accurate devotionsOooh but what are feelings without emotions?

Im going in for the killIm doing it for a thrillIm hoping youll understandAnd not let go of my hand(x2)

I hang my hopes out on the lineOooh theyd be ready for you in timeIf you leave them out too longOooh theyll be withered by the sunFull stops and exclamation marksOooh my words stumble before I startHow far can you send emotions?Oooh can this bridge cross the ocean?

Im going in for the killIm doing it for a thrillIm hoping youll understandAnd not let go of my hand(x2)

Lets go to warTo make peaceLets be coldTo create heatI hope in darknessWe can seeAnd youre not blindedBy the light from me

Im going in for the killIm doing it for a thrillIm hoping youll understandAnd not let go of my hand

Tonight out on the streetsIm gonna follow youTell you all about a sceneThat you would kill forYoure gonna love whatsBurning right in front of youBut you wont see itBy the light of the sun

Come out TigerlilyYoure caressing meIll take you upIll turn you onIll take your apathyI wouldnt lie to you BlossomWont you let it goIm gonna give you all you wantAnd dont you know

That youI know you better than thisI could be here when you callIll make you top of the listAnd in the crush of the darkIll be your light in the mistI can see you burning with desireFor a kissPsychobabble all upon your lips

They can sell it all they wantBut you cannot agreeI dont like the tasteOf their moralityYoull find your bread and your butterWhere you fake itAnd put your face in the gutterOf a snake pit

But our communicationIs telepathyWhat you give is what you getOut of us naturallyAnd we can wait til the shadow grows longAnd turn the page of a storyThat has long since found a home

I know you better than thisI could be here when you callIll make you top of the listAnd in the crush of the darkIll be your light in the mistI can see you burning with desireFor a kissPsychobabble all upon your lips

Have you ever feltLike youre being followed?Or watched the ones that held your stare?Turned around to see whos behind youTo find theres no one there?Lurking in the darkTheres someone who breathes you night and dayTheres a friend who wants so much moreAnd if they cant have youTheyll never let you walk away

And in the crush of the darkIll be your light in the mistI can see you burning with desireFor a kiss

And in the crush of the darkIll be your light in the mistI can see you burning with desireFor a kissPsychobabble all upon your lips

Oooh Oooh Ooooh OooohIm the obsessorHolding your handSeems you have forgottenAbout your manAlone in the darknessMy beds a different landYour touch intensifiesAnd Im in the QuicksandIm in the QuicksandIm in the Quicksand

Youre the upsetterStroking my handWhats my position?I dont understandAm I your possession?Am I in demand?Oh when you turn to meIm in the QuicksandIm in the QuicksandIm in the Quicksand

You, you moved into my mind againYou, walking around rent free OoohOh and I could let you stayBut Im walking on broken ground againOh oh when will I learn?All you do is push me back in the dirt

Im in the Quicksand(x5)

Been there done that messed aroundIm having fun dont put me downIll never let you sweep me off my feetI wont let you in againThe messages I tried to sendMy informations just not going in

Burning bridges shore to shoreI break away from something moreIm not turned on to loveUntil its cheap

Been there done that messed aroundIm having fun dont put me downIll never let you sweep me off my feet

This time babyIll be bulletproofThis time babyIll be bulletproof

I wont let you turn aroundAnd tell me now Im much too proudTo walk away from something when its dead

Do do do your dirty wordsCome out to playWhen you are hurt?Theres certain thingsThat should be left unsaidTick tick tick tickOn the watchAnd lifes too shortFor me to stopOh babyYour time is running out

I wont let you turn aroundAnd tell me now Im much too proudAll you do is fill me up with doubt

This time babyIll be bulletproof x5

This time Ill beBulletproofThis time Ill beBulletproof

This time babyIll be bulletproof x4

You say its comingBut I cant see it at allYou know me wellBut I dont you at allNo I dont know you at all

Its always just on the horizonSo my hopes rise and fallYou know me wellBut I dont know you at allNo I dont know you at all

Love, love is like a stubborn youthThat youd rather just denyIm walking on a broken roofWhile Im looking at the sky

Its all false love and affectionYou dont want meYou just like the attentionYes its all false love and affectionYou dont like meYou just want the attention

Im not your toyThis isnt another girl meets boy x2

Love, love hides in a smoky lightI can never find the truthBoy, your touches leave me mystifiedI wish I could believe in you

Yes its all false love and affectionYou dont want meYou just like the attentionYes its all false love and affectionYou dont like meYou just want the attention

Im not your toyThis isnt another girl meets boy x3

Its all false love and affectionYou dont want meYou just like the attentionYes its all false love and affectionYou dont like meYou just want the attention

Im not your toyThis isnt another girl meets boy x4

No wonder Im scaredTo look in your eyesYouve turned me awaySo many timesYou can take it awayAt any given momentIts hard to believeWhile youre in this disguise

So would you hold me pleaseIm trying hard to breatheIm just survivingSo would you hold me pleaseIm trying hard to breatheStop me from crying

When I see you walking with herI have to cover my eyes(I have to cover my eyes)Every time you leave with herSomething inside me dies(Something inside of me dies)

No wonder it hurtsTo sit by your side(Turn me away so many times)Theres a different songI can play you tonight(We dont have to sit here in silence)We can break the patternWe can change the colour(Its just a little sacrifice)You dont need to worry about the others(Its all in your mind)

So would you hold me pleaseIm trying hard to breatheIm just survivingSo would you hold me pleaseIm trying hard to breatheStop me from crying

When I see you walking with herI have to cover my eyes(I have to cover my eyes)Every time you leave with herSomething inside me dies(Something inside of me dies) x3

Emerging from my worldImagine living in a boxAnd I wont come outUntil Ive broken all the locks

Slurring all my wordsUntil something sticksBut in this smoky universeMy mind keeps playing tricks

And althoughYoure the only home I knowAs if by MagicThoughts of you are goneAnd now Im keeping My head in the cloudsAnd its not so tragicIf I dont look down

Submerging from your worldAnd back into my blissA day rolled into oneIs burning on my lipsBlurring all your wordsUntil they dont existAnd in a parallel universeIts me you cant resist

And althoughYoure the only home Ill ever knowAs if by MagicThoughts of you are goneAnd now Im keeping My head in the cloudsAnd its not so tragicIf I dont look down

You say youre a rose tinted lover come onYou know Ill never love anotherI wont stay a lonely lover for long(x2)

You pull on your ArmourAnd put up defencesWhy do you want to?Because Im here to protect you

So take it easyIll make it so easyYou can lay your head downAnd well leave it til tomorrow

You seem to believe you Belong to somebody elseWhen you leave me alone in this worldYou know that Im in hellWhen you know what its likeTo be lonely and by yourself

When your life is tangledYou wear your disguisesBut why do you need toWhen Im standing here beside you?

You can lay your head downAnd well leave it til tomorrow

You seem to believe you Belong to somebody elseWhen you leave me alone in this worldYou know that Im in hellWhen you know what its likeTo be lonely and by yourself

Slipping through my fingersAnd into anothersTell me why wont you turn back?

You seem to believe you Belong to somebody else(You know what its like you shouldnt have to be told)When you leave me alone in this worldYou know that Im in hell(Its hard enough when youre alone in the world)When you know what its likeTo be lonely and by yourself(x2)

My heart it melts like plasticI fell through the hole yesterdayYour smile pulled me in like elasticI felt my mind detonate

O I make mistakesAnd you just say its growing painsWhen I feel ashamedYou tell me its just growing pains

We broke in two like a matchstickIt burns in my soul every da
