The Dead Heart - Midnight Oil

I've spent the past few years Fighting off What's left of these demons inside my head It's safe to say I hate this place But it's made me who I am today I'd give anything To sleep away this curse I'd give anything To sleep away this curse Time heals nothing I'm giving my all You tell me to stand but I continue to fall Try your best and I'll do my worst I'd give anything to sleep away this curse Sleep away this curse I've spent the past few nights Drinking off what's left Of these nightmares that haunt me The sun goes down I'm wide awake with both eyes open And my back is against the wall Against the wall Sleep can't come soon enough Sleep can't come soon enough Time heals nothing I'm giving my all You tell me to stand but I continue to fall Try your best and I'll do my worst I'd give anything to sleep away this curse Sleep away this curse I'd give anything To sleep away this curse I'd give anything To sleep away this curse Time heals nothing Time heals nothing Time heals nothing I could never forget I could never forget

Carve your name Carve your name in ice and wind Search for where Search for where the rivers end Or where the rivers start Do everything that's in you You feel to be your part But never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Dare to leap Leap from ledges high and wild Learn to speak Speak with wisdom like a child Directly to the heart Crown yourself the king of clowns Or stand way back apart But never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Shun a friend Shun a brother and a friend Never look Never look around the bend Or check the weather chart Sign the Mona Lisa With a spray can, call it art But never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart A foolish heart will call on you To toss your dreams away Then turn around and blame you For the way you went astray A foolish heart will cost you sleep And often make you curse A selfish heart is trouble But a foolish heart is worse Bite the hand Bite the hand that bakes your bread Dare to leap Where the angels fear to tread Till you are torn apart Stoke the fires of paradise With coals from Hell to start But never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart

You remember me, you remember us It was magical when I felt your touch It's a strong memory still today It feels so good with your body close Those days are gone, time flies away But it's what I'm dreaming of still today I'm sad to see that this was all we had But within my heart you'll have a place deep within my heart A special place for you No matter what was said and done within my heart You'll always be inside my heart as long as I live Every little beat within my heart It's still beating for us Every little piece of my heart It's still longing for us I am not strong enough, I know I cannot ever let you go Within my heart, within my heart Within my heart, within my heart Within my heart, within my heart In my heart What once was strong and filled with passion Has withered away and turned to nothing But you're all I'm dreaming of still today It's sad that what we had is dead and gone But within my heart, you'll have a place within my heart A special place forever, no matter what happened You have a place in my heart, within my heart For eternity Every little beat within my heart It's still beating for us Every little piece of my heart It's still longing for us I am not strong enough, I know I cannot ever let you go Within my heart, within my heart Within my heart, within my heart Within my heart, within my heart Every night I have this dream Will I find the right way back again Into your open arms Every night you're in my dreams And I know that we will meet again It's written in the stars And within my heart Every little beat within my heart It's still beating for us Every little piece of my heart It's still longing for us I am not strong enough, I know I cannot ever let you go Within my heart, within my heart Within my heart, within my heart

Extreme ways are back again Extreme places i didn't know I bought everything new again Everything that i'd owned I threw it out the windows, came along Extreme ways i know move apart The colors of my sea Perfect color me Extreme ways that that help me Help me out at night Extreme places i had gone But never seen any light Dirty basements, dirty noise Dirty places coming through Extreme worlds alone Did you ever like it planned I would stand in line for this There's always room in life for this Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does Extreme songs that told me They helped me down every night I didn't have much to say I didn't get above the light I closed my eyes and closed myself And closed my world and never opened Up to anything That could get me along I had to close down everything I had to close down my mind Too many things to cover me Too much can make me blind I've seen so much in so many places So many heartaches, so many faces So many dirty things You couldn't believe I would stand in line for this It's always good in life for this Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does
