White Lies - The Damn Truth

I love the feeling when we lift off Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window I wonder what keeps us so high up? Could there be a love beneath these wings? If we suddenly fall should I scream out? Or keep very quiet and cling to My mouth as I'm crying? So frightened of dying Relax, yes, I'm trying But fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me I love the quiet of the night time When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from The sense of time catching up with me The sky's set out like a pathway But who decides which route we take? As people drift into a dreamworld I close my eyes as my hands shake And when I see a new day Who's driving this anyway? I picture my own grave 'Cause fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground Will the earth beneath my body shake And cast your sleeping hearts awake? Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies? Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes? I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That's why everything's got to be love or death Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on...

You set me on fire, But I didn't burn Balance on the wire, While the tables turn turn turn It wasn't like candy, To sweet to swallow whole Saw you staring at my panties, tell me your as good as gold

Do you believe it, -lieve it When I say it's you I needed, oh It's like I'm dreaming, dreaming 'Cause you helped me stop the bleeding, yeah Don't wanna be alone tonight Don't think too much, just turn off the lights Back and forth like all of the time Know it's a lot but just don't think twice Where to go? I don't even know Only big white lies to get by 'cause I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh I've been telling you white lies so you would stay I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause I just don't know where to go, I don't even know Only big white lies to get by 'cause I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh I've been telling you white lies so you would stay I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by So you can feel it, feel it There's this crazy thing between us, uh-huh Don't need a reason, reason Where you're at, I wanna be there, uh-huh Don't wanna be alone tonight Don't think too much, just turn off the lights Back and forth like all of the time Know it's a lot but just don't think twice Where to go?

They used to put flowers in gun barrels I tried it once and got my face maced And I feel just like a little girl facing a mountain of trolls Armed with only my clothes and my words Voluntary slavery to the debt machine Pirates and politicians are the same thing "Give me your money and you will be saved" You bought your place in heaven don't you wish you were dead? Mama What have you left behind for me? Mama What have you left behind for me? Mama What did you leave behind? I don't want it No There is no point in going back to the sea All the fish are dead we've got a hit on radioactivity Pollution everywhere I can't breathe the goddam air What have you left behind for me? Mama

Alex was my first best friend "Gonna see the world," is what he always said And I begged him, "Take me with you" Alex played guitar and I sang We were gonna be in a rock 'n roll band Dreaming was the only way out Small town and alcohol Our parents sold their goddam souls And we were so angry A single tear from his blue eye As he looked at me and he said goodbye I promised I would never forget Alex said to his dad, "If you ever lay your hands on my mom again, I swear I will kill you, man" Alex came home through the kitchen door Found his mom lying on the floor Then he grabbed that knife His lawyer claimed self-defense But Alex never showed any signs of regret So the judge he said "life" A single tear from his blue eye As he looked at me and he said goodbye I promised I would never forget How we used to ride our bikes down to the lake Write songs about the love we'd make Watch the fire burn deep against the cold We promised right then to never grow old The way the starlight how it hit the waves Just like diamonds shining in a miner's cave We danced naked with no regrets I promised I would never forget

She came in from the desert on a sunny afternoon The devil was among us she was right here in this room And you could cut the air with a knife Drive a stake through her heart But no one is getting out of here Not alive My revolution is in disconclusion Allegations of hope There's no room for people like you and me here We're devilish folk He came in from the ocean with his big green eyes He couldn't stop pretending that he had seen the light But the truth is as bright as the moon You could feel the tension in this room And I would be the first to admit That a broken soul cannot be fixed My revolution is in disconclusion Allegations of hope There's no room for people like you and me here We're devilish folk

Once I was broken You didn't know what to say But just by being there You made it somehow ok I used to turn off the lights And listen to you pray As you begged for peace of mind I just hoped you would stay But forever is coming It's coming to its end Forever is just a dream I had Forever is coming It's coming to its end Forever is just a dream I had I used to be a victim Of cruel hypocrisy You showed me how wrong This world could be And as I stood there staring Straight into the fire My heart was melting In a cool desire Before you judge another Take a look at you're soul Have you yourself become Another brick in the wall Forever is coming It's coming to its end Forever is just a dream I had Peace ain't coming It ain't coming to our beds Peace is just a dream I had Some dream I had

Love is blindness, I don't wanna see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh, my heart Love is blindness. I'm in a parked car On a crowded street, And I see my love Made complete. The thread is ripping The knot is slipping. Love is blindness. Love is clockworks, And it's cold steel Fingers too numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Blindness Love is blindness I don't wanna see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh my love Blindness A little death Without mourning No call No Warning Baby, a dangerous idea... Almost makes... sense Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no body else to tell Take the money Why don't you honey Blindness Love is blindness, I'm so sick of it, I don't wanna see Why don't you just take the night And wrap it all around me, now Oh my love Blindness Oh, I'm too numb to feel... Blow out the candle. Blindness.
