I Seek Fire 04:06
A thousand paper cuts sting down to bone Feelin' and fightin', I stand alone Hard to describe it, too tough to fight it Know what I want and all I want is you I been so lonely since you've been gone Obsess, finesse the stage is set I lead me on, you play the con Know what I want and all I want is you Say it, you pierced my heart right through I wanna die in love We can live forever I'm fading fast, this drug leavin' me restless and wired Just one more try for love It's too late for "Never!" New moon is risin' up It's time, so come show me I seek fire I seek fire Five-fingered talons Three midnight felons Creepin' and sellin' dirty copies in the night Try to behave, hovers my grave I want you more than my eyes ever let on Confused in secret, actin' so crazy His shattered kiss will be the one good thing to save me Wait, my mind's been torn in two Say it, my bleeding heart beats true I wanna die in love We can live forever I'm fading fast, this drug leavin' me restless and wired Just one more try for love It's too late for "Never!" New moon is risin' up It's time, so come show me I seek fire I seek fire Ayayayayayay I wanna die in love We can live forever I'm fadin' fast, your drug leavin' me restless and wired Just one more try for love It's not too late New moon is risin' up I'm alive So come show me I seek fire I seek fire

I hunt, I lie, I burn, and cry You twist the knife I crawl to you I run, I cry, I live, and die I hurt and try This break in time Brother, why you try to shut me out? Who's going to listen to your secrets? Stand on the sidelines Preach your doubt One more time to hide from this Flick of the wrist Or be found out Wear it out cause nothing fits You want to look, yeah? Come see All the things you want to be You're giving me the butterflies Too scared to make a move Drownin' in your pale blue eyes Wrapped inside your broken cocoon I really want to be your Valentine Did my time I'm doin' fine White knuckle calm, yeah Grind it out You provide that subtle twist Loosen the ties and steal my doubt Thief to take our lovers' lips Now I'm hooked, yeah Come see All the things you want of me You're giving me the butterflies Too scared to make a move Drownin' in your pale blue eyes Where I wait for you Now you got me mystified Devils and doom Drownin' in your pale blue eyes Stuck inside your broken cocoon Bad head again Can't turn it off Caught in your spin Maybe I'm too soft Broken down and thin A whisper to a cough Bad head again Seems you're a danger to win SOLO You're giving me the butterflies Too scared to make a move Drownin' in your pale blue eyes For just a piece of you Don't you know I'm mystified Devils and doom, yeah Livin' in your pale blue eyes Trapped inside your broken cocoon Broken Cocoon

You lazy bones in the zone Play it cool just like you wanna Scroll through the phone, all alone Like some real New Age Madonna And you'd give just about anything Just to see her Just to be her Let it go, let it go Let it break the mold Freezed out you keep complainin' about it Take it slow, take it slow All the way to gold Big dreams, small mind She's already dead You're layin' low, diggin' holes Fillin' graves just like you wanna, yeah Sing "No one's saved - Eat my rage!" Fashion fades to new age trauma So now you're falling apart I think you've got an artificial heart Play it cool, smoke the souls With your self-inflicted karma You'd give just about anything Yeah, you would give everything Let it go, let it go Let it break the mold Freezed out you keep complainin' about it Take it slow, take it slow All the way to gold Big dreams, small mind She's already... A slight slip and the dominoes will fall Fantasy for sale to keep you small The changing winds will rearrange them all I'll burn it down before you see me crawl Let it go, let it go Let it break the mold Freezed out you keep complainin' about it Take it slow, take it slow All the way to gold Big dreams, small mind You're already, yeah Let it go, let it go Let it break the mold Freezed out you keep complainin' about it Take it slow, take it slow All the way to gold Big dreams, small mind You're already a hit

I hold tight to this secret Just one lie to remain I take a bite of your apple Now I'm stuck in the game Lay all my cards on the table to your defiant silence Now there's a burden on my heart Where will I find asylum? Round and round we fall With a battle cry We crawl Watch the moon outshine the sun We die every time we run Every time we run We're like the hammer and the anvil Colliding in the dark We're like the hammer and the anvil Waiting, waiting for a spark In merciless silence You deny the light we find The poison courses through my veins How could I have been so blind? Are you the Great Pretender? I lay betrayed and wasted Or are you really in love? And just damned to chase it? Round and round we fall With a battle cry We crawl Watch the moon outshine the sun Are you ready to begin? Are you ready to dig in? Just like the hammer and the anvil Colliding in the dark We're like the hammer and the anvil Waiting, waiting for a spark I said Now you've caught my eye, yeah You just broke into my mind, baby Here we go Gotta move Cause you just won't let me be Don't be cold I been sold, baby How long before you see? We're like the hammer and the anvil Colliding in the dark We're like the hammer and the anvil Tryin', tryin' for a Hammer and the anvil Colliding in the dark We're like the hammer and the anvil Fightin' Fightin' for the spark

I said We’ve been livin’ in some strange times Consolation is a hard find 'Round here we all shine on It’s hard to tell where to draw that line Looks normal but it don’t feel right Spilled blood on steel train tracks In comes a stanger with his stone backpack Wants me to hold it but I ain’t goin’ back This old dog’s got a stray in the line Just need a moment to catch my breath Suckerpunch but I ain’t down yet Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Secret Medicine I'm hangin' on 'til the rain comes Now, just a minute I been stone in line You keep actin’ like I fell behind Down here we scramble for scraps of bone Been passed around like some dirty joke Disrespect wears a tailored cloak Shake the table Drop your “For Sale” sign Just need a moment to catch my breath Suckerpunch but I ain’t dead yet Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Secret Medicine I'm hangin' on til the rain comes Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Over and over now here she comes It hurts so hard we heal With each new breath we steal Keep holdin' on It won't be long With each new breath we feel It hurts so hard we heal Over and over again SOLO I need a.moment I need a moment I need a moment cause I ain't dead yet Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Medicine I'm hangin' on til the rain comes Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Secret Medicine Over and over, now Here she comes!

Strutter 03:09
I know a thing or two about her I know she'll only make you cry She'll let you walk the street beside her But when she wants, she'll pass you by Everybody says she's lookin' good And the lady knows it's understood Strutter She wears her satins like a lady She gets her way just like a child You take her home and she says maybe, baby She takes you down and drives you wild Everybody says she's lookin' good And the lady knows it's understood Strutter I know a thing or two about her I know she'll only make you cry She'll let you walk the street beside her But when she wants, she'll pass you by Everybody says she's lookin' good And the lady knows it's understood Strutter Strutter Strutter

Babe, you know how I love you Break through walls of flesh to protect us Now the honor you speak of Wreaks of dirty hands and death I hold no one else above you Ain’t that how you said you wanted it? Blood on the tracks leaves us no way back, love To our dying breath I don’t even care about who’s right or wrong A wounded man has got the right to scrape along Ain't nobody else above you Ain't nobody else above you Ooo, Ooo, Ooo 'Cause he's already gone He's already gone Livin' on the edge of cut and run Ride the lightning through the midnight sun, because He's already gone He's already gone Babe, I think I had enough of this Brown leaves cover our green grass Loyalty, truth, and freedom Ain't that what you said? I hold no one else above you A holy kiss across Saints' lips Bury the past, yeah, there's no way back, love All those words you said Promises lying dead I don't even care about who's right or wrong A wounded heart has got the right to move on Ain't nobody else above you Ain't nobody else above you Ooo, Ooo, Ooo 'Cause we're already gone We're already gone Livin' on the edge of cut and run Every right becomes another wrong Because we're already gone We're already gone Ain't nobody else above you Ain't nobody else.

Meet at the crossroads we're frozen in time Show me your secrets and I'll give you mine, yeah Take my eternity, I beg you, cut me loose 24 years left to thrive inside our truce And this violent streak you seek makes nightly news Only love can lift the veil that hides our truth Sure as winter comes to praise the dead And earthquakes part the seas Sure as angels scream above it all That's what you are to me So the story goes La Luna changes minds Break through the clouds we flow within her tides, yeah Cause this violent streak you wreak is nightly news Maybe love can lift the veil behind our truth Sure as winter comes to praise the dead And earthquakes part the seas Sure as angels scream above it all That's what you are to me As tragedy rebounds digs holes beneath our ground Walk away Vox Margarete is loud Pokes holes in Reason's sound I want to stay SOLO So the story goes La Luna changes minds.... Sure as winter comes to praise the dead And earthquakes part the seas Sure as angels scream above it all That's what you are to me Sure as demons scream before The Fall That's what you were to me Mephistopheles
