Remedy 04:08
There must be something in the air A sky high smile but you don't care I lost it all Again I fell Into the darkness of despair I see the liars and the thieves Safe inside their castles While we are diseased The curtain falls But worst of all You're calling If I could come undone Maybe this once You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy As the world breaks apart Like the last light You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy And on that night I held you close We were at peace with our old ghosts This love won't spark and fade Like the sun burns through the ages Although the moment's long lost to dust In my heart we're never far apart Though time may turn the page This love will never fade If I could come undone Maybe this once You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy As the world breaks apart Like the last light You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy You could be my remedy Or a divine tragedy

I cannot take this anymore Your name is in my brain Like an innocence Abandoned years before But I still see you in my dreams Sometimes I can't decide If I just want to die And I dream of who we used to be I still think of you In the darkest room Of my broken heart, yeah But I'm falling through I cannot hate you anymore Your face is in my dreams Like the night I kissed you by the door Time stopped for an eternity If we're just born to die Why does bad love mystify? I bleed Just to feel something Something Something Something I still think of you In the darkest room Of my broken heart, yeah Why do I look for you In a crowded room Blank faces, they lie, yeah And I'm falling through Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm falling through Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm falling through Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm falling through Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm falling through Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm falling through I'm falling through I'm falling through I'm falling through I'm falling through

Electric 04:33
I saw the light flash from the phone It's 4 AM you knew that I'd be home Commiserate and replace me Like a phantom you'll be gone It's been a while I've been on my own It's kind of sad, but I don't know Loneliness got comfortable Where did the time go But do you know that you're beautiful You cut your name into my heart If this ain't love, then I don't know You're so electric You're so electric And do you want to take me home I think your eyes saw into my soul If this is love, then I want more You're so electric You're so electric Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh You're so electric You're so electric Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh You're so electric You're so electric I think about the days when we were young Just two kids, we didn't know But time waits for no one Where did we go wrong I still think about you every day Wondering if there was another way Like a heartbeat in my dreams She escapes me But do you know that you're beautiful You cut your name into my heart If this ain't love, then I don't know You're so electric You're so electric And do you want to take me home I think your eyes saw into my soul If this is love, then I want more You're so electric You're so electric Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh You're so electric You're so electric Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh You're so electric You're so electric I'll keep you safe and sound Pick you up when you fall down At the end of everything We'll have eternity I will not let you down But do you know that you're beautiful You cut your name into my heart If this ain't love, then I don't know You're so electric You're so electric And do you want to take me home I think your eyes saw into my soul If this is love, then I want more You're so electric You're so electric Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh You're so electric You're so electric Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh You're so electric You're so electric

Medicate 04:36
Every minute I'm awake Is another second I daydream Of those hours when we laid On your bed listening To the autumn rain I know it's not the same We're older now A little broken in a way I'm sitting here on a winter's day Wondering if you still feel the same Will you take my hand And travel to distant lands Where the stars are found We'll pull them down Like we're children We can find ourselves Together in the sands Of time we'll swim Like the dolphins Until the end Would you medicate for me Would you medicate for me Lately I'm a bit afraid That life is passing me by Like a train on the wrong track I'm not okay I promise Trust me, all the same It didn't used to be this way But now I guess We're the kids from yesterday Still haunted by our memories We can't escape Will you take my hand And travel to distant lands Where the stars are found We'll pull them down Like we're children We can find ourselves Together in the sands Of time we'll swim Like the dolphins Until the end Would you medicate for me Would you medicate for me Would you medicate for me Would you medicate for me What becomes of the broken hearted What becomes of the broken hearted Would you medicate for me Look what we have become Would you medicate for me Look what we have become Would you medicate for me Look what we have become Would you medicate for me Look what we have become Would you medicate for me Look what we have become Would you medicate for me Look what we have become Would you medicate for me

Fated 03:43
In your eyes There was something fated Twin flames Like a fairytale written for you And I know you felt it, too I would wait for you Stole a glance Broken skies clear Heaven is any place where you are Touch me like you do And I know you feel it, too I can't be without you Don't wanna let you go Just wanna take you home Let's have no regrets Dance like tonight will never end Until the break of dawn In the dark I lie awake waiting Visions in my mind What can I do Why am I such a fool for you I tried to fake it In conversation Oh girl, can't you see I think we're meant to be Don't wanna let you go Just wanna take you home Let's have no regrets Dance like tonight will never end Until the break of dawn You run away But in your heart You know we're fated Like two distant ships Adrift without a compass You can't decide Silence belies How many times Can I feel winter's chill But the spring is coming Oh, do you know Don't wanna let you go Just wanna take you home Let's have no regrets Dance like tonight will never end Until the break of dawn Don't wanna let you go Just wanna take you home Let's have no regrets Dance like tonight will never end Until the break of dawn

Desolation sky Desolation sky Desolation sky Desolation sky This infatuation's got me losing my mind No sublimation She knows I cannot hide Senseless desire by design She says I'm gonna make you mine Thought I could feel Her eyes pierce inside Like a moth to flame I am hypnotized Insanity never felt so right Is this love Or have I lost my fucking mind Desolation sky Reflecting in your eyes I must be high On her carbon life form Intense desire We'll dance away the night I can't deny This love is forever young Looked outside the sky was on fire TV said we had five days until we died Guess there's no point in suicide By her side I feel fine She said Don't be afraid There's no one else but you and I Don't stop dancing It's our last night before we die I'm so lonely You make me scream Scream Scream Desolation sky Reflecting in your eyes I must be high On her carbon life form Intense desire We'll dance away the night I can't deny This love is forever young Desolation sky Reflecting in your eyes I must be high On her carbon life form Intense desire We'll dance away the night I can't deny This love is forever young

I may be broke But I'm not alone Ten million strong On the answerphone Six on the street Seven more are at home Roll call She moans No tension strings Boardwalk creeps got me stoned Beachhead slipstream She says she's all alone I play for keeps A kiss before she goes What's wrong She moans I wished for fame You walked away Guess I was played Love is her game It was a lie Right from the start My dear do you have no heart for love I've been drunk for days Trying to forget your face And the way you taste Am I deranged I'm not the type of guy Who casually intertwines My dear do you have no heart for love Word on the street says I've got to go But I'm in too deep Drown me in the undertow Rip current dreams drag me down below I don't belong She knows She takes me Far away from here Blue ribbon intimacy I love the misery Recanted sighs Whispered nothings I don't know what to believe In the cruel summer heat I wished for fame You walked away Guess I was played Love is her game It was a lie Right from the start My dear do you have no heart for love I've been drunk for days Trying to forget your face And the way you taste Am I deranged I'm not the type of guy Who casually intertwines My dear do you have no heart for love I don't care About another Sunday blues I'd take the fall Instead of you Is there really nothing more That I can do I'd do anything You want me to Little bird don't fly away And leave me With all this pain You never meant to stay I wished for fame You walked away Guess I was played Love is her game It was a lie Right from the start My dear do you have no heart for love I've been drunk for days Trying to forget your face And the way you taste Am I deranged I'm not the type of guy Who casually intertwines My dear do you have no heart for love I wished for fame You walked away Guess I was played Love is her game It was a lie Right from the start My dear do you have no heart for love I've been drunk for days Trying to forget your face And the way you taste Am I deranged I'm not the type of guy Who casually intertwines My dear do you have no heart for love My dear do you have no heart for love My dear do you have no heart for love

Don't wanna make the same mistakes, again I got no time for misery, my friend I've been through tragedy after tragedy No, don't think I'll be joining you, again I did my best to try to make amends Sent you flowers but you threw them out Whatevs This wasn't meant to be And I hope you're happy But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch Again I'm holding on Holding on by a thread I'm standing on Standing on the ledge Again And after all this goddamned time You still make me feel Like I'm losing my fucking mind Would you just leave me alone If this is true love Then I want to die How many times are you going to lie Would you just shut up already Not gonna play your little games, again Deep down you still knew That we were more than friends And little girl your cruelty At twenty-eight is ugly But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch, again I'm holding on Holding on by a thread I'm standing on Standing on the ledge Again And after all this goddamned time You're still out of your motherfucking mind Would you just get a grip If this is true love then I want to die How many times am I going to try I just can't But why am I so goddamned blind While you're out here Fucking these other guys I'm an idiot I said that I was done this time But I think You might be my kryptonite Oh, shit I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch But I guess I'm just Karma's bitch I guess I'm just Karma's bitch I guess I'm just Karma's bitch

Visions 04:42
I heard a little voice Call from the inside Feelin' sick in the head From a long drive Haven't felt safe from myself In a long time But I guess that's just the way That I'm designed These words Are my misery to you Like red ink I bleed These words for you And all that could have been But you cannot comprehend I read the letter that you wrote Guess I'm all right Take a drink Light 'em up What good is suicide If I'm already fucking dead on the inside Guess I never had a chance in a world of lies But my hate I've saved it up for you And every time we kissed You never knew That I was giving in And you were my heroin You left me lying On the floor Knew I'd come Begging you for more If I'm the bullet You're the gun But I swear to God That I'm alone You know You knew You knew You know You know I kill a bit of myself Every single night Need another little taste Just to get right She was the only one who ever made me feel fine But I guess that's just the way that I'm designed These nights I medicate the truth And every line I did it all for you And all that could have been But you cannot comprehend Incandescent minds We dance by candlelight Like in Victorian times But I've lost my fucking mind I cut myself to kill the pain Bleed it out but it won't go away Guess I was just born this way Meant to spark and not fade away You left me lying On the floor Knew I'd come Begging you for more If I'm the bullet You're the gun But I swear to God That I'm alone You know You knew You knew You know You know You left me lying On the floor Knew I'd come Begging you for more If I'm the bullet You're the gun But I swear to God That I'm alone You know You knew You knew You know You know Just save yourself Just save yourself Just save yourself I'm coming home Just save yourself I'm coming home Just save yourself I'm coming home Just save yourself I'm coming home Just save yourself You left me lying On the floor Knew I'd come Begging you for more If I'm the bullet You're the gun But I swear to God That I'm alone You know You knew You knew You know You know You left me lying On the floor Knew I'd come Begging you for more If I'm the bullet You're the gun But I swear to God That I'm alone You know You knew You knew You know You know

Commiserate with angels And madness will find a way Her beauty Wistless fragile Divine minds Shatter in her gaze Cryptic broken devil A lost cause She ends her days Forsaken all we meant to This time am I too late By the stars I swear I'm not The type of guy To break your heart This synthetic love Is all I want At the end of the world In the night I try to stop Thinking of what I've become This pandemic love Is all I want At the end of the world We speak in tongues for ransom Our ghosts trapped in the machine My mind is a phantom It only lies when it wants to feed Violence is the answer Says the god you built with pain All the pretty people On the screen say it's all okay By the stars I swear I'm not The type of guy To break your heart This synthetic love Is all I want At the end of the world In the night I try to stop Thinking of what I've become This pandemic love Is all I want At the end of the world If we both fall from grace Was our love lost in vain Distrust is what you know Our time has come and gone Collapsed I'm on my knees I still see you in my dreams I'm praying for a miracle But God She never shows Empty streets abandoned White lights Drown in the decay We defer the sadness While it festers Like the devil's rage Traded her hope for exemption Said I just need to feel something All the broken people On the screen say I'm to blame By the stars I swear I'm not The type of guy To break your heart This synthetic love Is all I want At the end of the world In the night I try to stop Thinking of what I've become This pandemic love Is all I want At the end of the world
