Sleep some nights it just don't show When you've pushed and life won't go Your dreams get lost and your sorrows grow You read and try to watch T.V. take a drive out to the sea You might break down but you can't break free. Standin' in the crossfire Hangin' from a live wire. Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind. Standin' in the crossfire Stranded on a high wire Runnin' from a reason and Lookin' for a friend. Dream your eyes are almost blind They photograph your mind And leave a trace of her love in time. Night's You live the smokey past Try to break the spell she cast. You start out first but you end up last. Standin' in the crossfire Hangin' from a live wire reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind Standin' in a cross fire Stranded on a high wire runnin' from a reason and Lookin' for a friend... Standin' a cross fire hangin' from a live wire Reachin' for a lost smile n hidin' in the wind Standin' in a cross fire n Stranded on a high wire Runnin' from a reason n lookin' for a friend standing in a cross fire hangin' from a live wire reachin' for a lost smile hidin' in the wind Standin' in a cross fire stranded on a high wire Runnin' from a reason n look'n for a friend...

I was caught in a crossfire I was still as the night You were an angel in shadow When I saw the light Found your eyes in the darkness Found your face in the haze There was a band, they were playing Couldn't say what they played Through a crowd full of strangers I could have shouted out Though I couldn't speak until now Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? If you're the one for me Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? If you're the one for me You came without warning Like a thief in the night And I never heard nothing And I never thought twice 'Cause I'd fall for you baby And I'd fall every time Fall right into your arms And back out to the night Through a crowd full of strangers I could have shouted out Though I had no words To speak until now Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? If you're the one for me Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? Could I be one for you? If you're the one for me

There's a still in the street outside your window And you're keeping secrets on your pillow Let me inside: no cause for alarm I promise tonight not to do no harm I promise you babe I won't do you no harm And we're caught up in the crossfire Of Heaven and Hell And we're searching for shelter Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Watching your dress as you turn down the light I forget all about the storm outside Dark clouds roll their way over town Heartache and pain came a-pouring down like Hail sleet and rain yeah, they're handing it out And we're caught up in the crossfire Of Heaven and Hell And we're searching for shelter Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came His firey arrows drew their beat in vain And when the hardest part is over we'll be here And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear The boundaries of our fear Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Next to mine

Heavy hangs the air Heavy lies the beating heart Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight Dead-set on living like tomorrow was to blame And through these holes you'd see the blackest soul inside of me One foot stuck in the past, one planted in my grave Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I'm torn between the remedies for everything Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight Dry mouth, taste it like a cut vein Blackout, it all ends the same So stay away, stay away Can you tell when I lie right through my teeth? No escape, no escape Like a chain, in a way we are all bound to our fate Don't let it bury me, me We call this therapy Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I'm torn between the remedies for everything Heavy hangs the air Heavy lies the beating heart Burden breeds remorse Black clouds hover low like a curse Like a curse Running circles, old habits die hard (running circles) Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far (never seemed to get too far) Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways (call me reckless) I'm torn between the remedies for everything (the remedies for everything) I'm torn between the remedies for everything I'm torn between the remedies for everything

This is a place I know too well Been down here a while, if you can't tell And I have analysed and tried my best to justify The sorrow I have brought upon myself Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I'll always be? Grinding the salt into every wound? Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment? You can't trust me to be there for you I thought I had this, I thought I had this all figured out You'd think I'd learned from all the shit I fucking screamed about When there was sun I couldn't see for the clouds Still climbing the walls of this well just to dive back down Until I reached my rock bottom Down to the marrow, bringing up the bad blood I'd forgotten Is it me that's making me sick? Been burning both ends of the wick Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I'll always be? Grinding the salt into every wound? Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment? You can't trust me to be there for you I've got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette Casting a shadow, a shade over me Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist Your worst impressions were right about me (Your worst impressions were right about me) (Your worst impressions were right) I could ask you to stay, if you're feeling forgiving I could live with the guilt, if you call this living I could try to memorize each grain of sand As it slips through my fingers, and falls from my hands It took me longer than I'd care to admit This life is only what I choose to make of it And the only thing standing in-between happiness and myself Was this depression I held so close to my chest Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I'll always be? Grinding the salt into every wound? Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment? You can't trust me to be there for you I've got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette Casting a shadow, a shade over me Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist Your worst impressions were right about me Wasting a waning youth Waiting for something to help me pull through I never saw the sun through the clouds I lost faith when the skies were falling down

Yeah I have lived and died To know that all we love we leave behind These undertakings take us far From familiar and comfortable things How much can one heart bear before It tears at the seams? Is this not all we thought it would be? Find your peace in a place unknown And see the world in shades of monochrome You don't have to walk alone To know what it feels like when nowhere feels like home When nowhere feels like home Show me your skin Show me the fear inside your bones 'Cause I've seen a darker side of man Than you will ever know When my lungs refuse to breathe Will you replenish the air in me? When my eyes refuse to see What is standing in front of me? Find your peace in a place unknown And see the world in shades of monochrome You don't have to walk alone To know what it feels like when nowhere feels like Nowhere feels like home The streetlights sing me to sleep The company that I keep And all that keeps me sane and whole Will be the death of me Get me out of here Lend me your ear, I'll tell you what you need to know You'll learn to breathe When life has got its hands around your throat There was a time, there was a place where I could say That I was unafraid of what this meant to me Find your peace in a place unknown And see the world in shades of monochrome You don't have to walk alone To know what it feels like when nowhere feels like home When nowhere feels like home When nowhere feels like

Black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you all mine! A lot of people underground You wanna get there You gonna go straight down Straight down There's a culture everywhere Smoke clouds hang in the air It's so loud, can't hear you talk You and I should take a walk downtown Straight down Downtown Straight down The argument over God continues In this house All of us stand and point our fingers At the ground All of us stand and point our fingers Woah, straight down, woah Red-letter day, black heart It's gonna tear you all apart It's so loud, can't hear you call You and I are gonna fall straight down Straight down Downtown Straight down Down, down The argument over God continues In this house All of us stand and point our fingers At the ground The agument over all continues In this house All of us stand and point our fingers Woah, straight down Woah, straight down Woah straight down Down, down Black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you all mine A lot of people underground You wanna get there You gotta go straight down Where the wine is all red and fingernails paint in black The argument over God continues All of us stand and point our fingers At the ground (The argument over God continues) black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you all mine (All of us stand and point our fingers) a lot of people underground You wanna get there You gonna go straight down (all of us stand and point) You gonna go straight down

How these times have changed us How they make us question why When we're born and bred And taught we need to be led Just to keep us paralysed But if it's all just some kind of illusion Then to what do we owe this life? And when the skies collapse upon us all Will our worst fears be allayed Or justified?

When we were young and indifferent, we could not have known This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own I know it hurts It hurts me too, just to watch you sinking I can't help thinking Was there something holding you back? Was the weight of the world on your back So long, you're sick of the gravity? Is there someone telling you no? Do you wander with nowhere to go? What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for? I'm reaching out, please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? We are the victims just like our parents taught us to be Roots planted firmly, but we fell so far from the tree And still we cling to the past with an iron grip As we all fall fast asleep Dreaming of security The chance to redefine The years we've wasted Living on borrowed time My will is spent I used the very last drop Trying to keep my head on straight enough I know it hurts It hurts to feel it all slip right past you I just want to ask you Was there something holding you back? Have you had to cover your tracks So long, you lost your identity? Is there something dragging you down? Crippled under the weight of the crown What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I'm reaching out please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? For all of our differences I always said I'd be there if you should come undone It took all I had in me Do you even care? Do you even want me there? Do you even want me there? There are ghosts in every window And they'll follow you back home But if you stay a moment I can tell you all I know Of how these times have changed us How they bring us to our knees How they send us down the crooked path Divide us temporarily I'm reaching out, please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? I said I'm sorry, I swear I'll do better I never thought we'd have to carry this weight together This is contagion, a plague that I bear And it kills me to say that I really need you here
