I like the lights, When they hit your face, You're good as blind, It blackens out your gaze And we're on fire, But I'm too caught in you to care Let's walk away, Into the night It's getting late, But we're right on time, And I wanna be nameless For a little while I love the night, The way it covers us, You're acting shy, But you're curious, Let's play with fire, Coz we're too deep in this to care. Coz tonight, is the night, That we break the speed of light, So stand up, Come alive, Liberate yourself, coz freedom starts tonight!

Said I’d quit but I never do There are no more heroes here for you You could fall a million times, But how many times did I know you weren’t mine? Do it yourself they said, make it count Don’t look back and think you wanted out There is no need for a team of inventors To find a way of the mess you did enter But let me tell you, you will never be better Than when you let go and return to your centre But wait? What do I know? I am no professional You could climb Kilimanjaro But are you willing to follow Your own advice Can’t afford to roll the dice You’re running out of time Step back, look, don’t fantasize Miracles don’t exist, Procrastination persists Take charge, you’ll be no counterfeit ((They said by December you should make a hit)) You need to let go, someday Someday

I’ve recently looked through a long list of phobias, The list compiled of the object of fear on the left and the said phobia on the right, I searched for the word “Love”. Interestingly enough, there doesn’t seem to be a classified phobia of love. Love itself is bizarre in the sense that whilst all of us yearn to find someone who “loves” us, cares for us and is willing to protect us; despite that, it is also the catalyst for relations to shatter and to break us down into nothing more than tiny fragments of the people we were before we found, this, this love and It’s cruel, it’s merciless, it doesn’t pity because it doesn’t care. We cannot fool ourselves; we’re not in control We’re puppets, we’re powerless. We drift in and out of these cycles Because you believe in miracles

Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now. Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport In a secondary moment this kiss is devilish You can’t pray sins away, when they devour you, smother you all day Take me for, what I am A cosmopolitan man in sodomy, understand The scars healed but what a mess we made Struck a deal with devils, a sick game we’ve played And roars for my memories of you The matador is no more and is dragged from view Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now. Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Something good, oh something good, oh something good, Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now. Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport

Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star? "If real fame is a mask that eats into the face, Then pseudo-fame, the current kind, might be a decoy that may eat into the brain. You often meet those people in California, They begin to lie to journalists and themselves with the same grim hope: if I say this and no one contradicts me it might be true. A sense of entitlement stands in for personal values. They don't mind if they're fooling you and fooling themselves, so long as they can keep the show on the road. Makes a man take things over Lets him loose, hard to swallow It's not your brain, it's just the flame that burns your change to keep you insane What you like is in the limo what you get is no tomorrow What you need you have to borrow Puts you where things are hollow Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?

I blessed you; in the name of the Lord I test you The sun rises with you; winter is over when I'm next-t you. Drive away so clever, wanna run in the wind together? Been waiting forever, you know we're not young forever, (x2) Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies Hoping for the best but expecting the worst Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power but we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip The music's for the sad men Forever young, I want to be forever young, forever Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? Forever young, I want to be forever young, forever Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? Some are like water, some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later, they all will be gone Why don't they stay young? It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth is like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever young We live on the edge of life We don't even compromise We rush because we're out of time I came in so bewildered Eyes wide open, I feel the shiver The time has come, I thought I told ya Thought I warned ya, you blink and it's over The future is open wide The sun sets on you and I I’m stronger than once before There’s no need to open the closed doors Forever young, I want to be forever young, forever Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? Forever young, I want to be forever young, forever Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? I blessed you; in the name of the Lord I test you The sun rises with you; winter is over when I'm next you. Drive away so clever, wanna run in the wind together? Been waiting forever, you know we're not young forever,

Drag my tongue across the sand So happy just to crawl across the land Soon I'll be the best around I'm gonna keep my plunder underground Hard flesh cold against the rain Dust billowing around my brazen brain Saw off all my stinking limbs Blood dripping down my sunken monkey chin Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past) Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past) Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Two thumbs across the Rubicon Slack jaw but you'll never be passing it on Plug hole, down the drain you go Your body never made it past the snow Canine fangs about my throat You're bleeding over Eden like a goat Tall blade dripping in every field I'm blooming like a fuming human shield Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past) Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past) Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Past, past, past, past, past, past

Man: Where is it? Where is it, Candy? Candy? Candy: He ate it. Man: Yes. I don't believe you. Candy: Pop ate my heart. Man: I see. Candy: He downed the whole thing. In one efficient gulp. Like a beautiful monster then took off into the city. Man: Oh, Candy... Candy: And now I just feel... I feel so... Man: Empty? Candy: No. No. Man: Candy? Candy: I feel free. Love letters all I see Every day I read The bits of yellow paper Addressed from you to me And every day a chance Inside a book of stamps To tell you what I'm up to And say just how I feel You've got me writing (Deep in black roses, dateless doses) Love letters I'm always writing (I’m falling victim to, black roses) Love letters You've got me writing (Deep in black roses, dateless doses) Love letters I'm always writing (I’m falling victim to, black roses) Love letters

A guard of blue was sent to you Those many nights, you wait for "soon" The regret, the company Heavy set, the tears fill up the sinks September, never say never Hold me down and close your eyes ‘Cause this feeling inside is unbelievable It's what I came here for Hold me down, hope you realise That we are one, we make the most of life It’s unbelievable; It's what I came here for It’s unbelievable It's what I came here for It’s unbelievable It's what I came here for It’s up to you what you do I can say that I was never untrue The regret, I carry in, the heavy set, Those tears fill up the sinks November, we will remember Hold me down … and close your eyes ‘Cause this feeling inside is unbelievable Hold me down and close your eyes ‘Cause this feeling inside is unbelievable It's what I came here for Hold me down, hope you realise That we are one, we make the most of life It’s unbelievable It's what I came here for It’s unbelievable It's what I came here for I came in so bewildered Eyes wide open, I feel the shiver The future is open wide and The sun sets on you and I and I’m stronger than once before and There’s no need to open the closed doors ((Hold me down))

I glorified you, You made me do things I’d never have done There was a war of the worlds in my mind I’m now paying for this; I’ve spent too long blind. I really shouldn’t have let you in I swallowed the pill, love swallowed me whole … I feel sick Curiosity killed the cat and me Once I let you in, I let myself go Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it I learnt the lessons and now I have to move forward, More informed about the right directions The scars are still real, I wonder if yours have healed Sometimes you have to take the time, to reflect Now I realise, I was scared and you left

What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? The world won’t stop for you The world won’t stop for you No matter what you do You feel it’s not enough The world won’t stop for you No matter what you do What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? The world won’t stop for you No matter what you do You feel it’s not enough Don’t give up the gun The world won’t stop for you No matter what you do You feel it’s not enough Don’t give up the gun
