I Lost Control 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I Lost Control Verse one Tried to be cool, suave and aloof My eyes betray me and my smile is my proof Functionally awkward, foot in front of foot Just because you think you can, doesn’t mean you could And I couldn’t if I want to, and I don’t think I do Love to say that I could swan across the room, but it wouldn’t be true. B one And there’s a biting of tongues and a holding of breath So many things I shouldn’t of and still almost said Verse Two So I bottle it in, cover it up And I smooth all the edges that are so inherently rough And I blend with the wall, and I hide behind the pole You ask me to dance and I, I, I……. Chorus I lost control, I lost control, I lost control Verse Three Strike up the band, set me a fire Make me go dizzy with your sways of desire And spin me around, so I can no longer stand Throw me about just don’t let go of my hand B two And pull me close when the song turns slow Whisper in my ear the steps that you know And there’s a melding of tongues and a bearing of souls You ask me to dance and I, I, I…….. Chorus two I lost control, I lost control, I lost control, I lost control Solo Tag I lost control, I lost control, I lost control, I lost control

You Can Talk (Lie) to Me Intro Verse one Lay, lay with me, and tell me all the things that you want me to be Lie, you can lie to me, and tell me all the things I wish that you would see Chorus one Cause I think that I look better when I’m with you, You can lie to me And I think that I make you look a little bit better too. Verse two Hey, let’s pretend, that I’m the man now that you thought I was back then Away, you can look away, if you think you see things some other kind of way Chorus two Cause I think that I look better when I’m with you, You can lie to me And I think that I make you look a little bit better too, You can lie to me And I like to be the bread to your butter, the only one that you gonna smother I guess I’m sayin’ I’d like to be your guy Bridge Bloodlines, tales and lies There many sides to the truth But I’m fine with livin’ a lie As long as I am living it with you As long as you’re living it too Solo Chorus three Cause I think that I look better when I’m with you, You can lie to me And I think that I make you look a little bit nicer too, You can lie to me And I like to be the bread to your butter, the only one that you gonna smother I guess I’m sayin’ I’d like to be your guy Cause I think that I look better when I’m with you, You can lie to me And I think that I make you look a little bit nicer too, You can lie to me And I like to be the bread to your butter, the only one that you gonna smother I guess I’m sayin’ I’d like to be your guy Tag Lay, lay with me and tell me all the things that you want me to be Lie, lie to me and tell me all the things I wish that you would see

Dirty Elements Intro Verse one Wind is the friend of fire, blows to make it go higher Fire is born from spark, spark comes from rubbing hard Hard as the day is long, only be so strong Wind is the friend of fire, keeps it burning, yea it keeps us yearning Chorus one D E S I R E It can take you down or it can set you free Verse two Water won’t bring relief, only make it wet It’s not that it never be, it just hasn’t happened yet And sleep is the enemy, along with all that we forget But it’s that loss of memory, that keeps it burning, yea it keeps us yearning Chorus two D E S I R E It can take you down or it can set you free Bridge Verse three And life isn’t black or white, mostly it seems red Like the flames that burn inside, my heart and my loins and me head And all our colors bleed, become another thing Everything that we need, that keeps it burning and keeps up yearning Chorus out D E S I R E It can chain you down or it can set you free D E S I R E Like an L O V E I-V, a-pumping deep inside of me Burn on desire Burn, burn on desire D E S I R E, D E S I R E It can chain you down D E S I R E, D E S I R E Set you you free D E S I R E, D E S I R E Like an L O V E I-V, pumping deep inside of me D E S I R E, D E S I R E Heh, chain you down D E S I R E, D E S I R E It can set you free D E S I R E, D E S I R E Like an L O V E I-V, pumping deep inside of me D E S I R E, D E S I R E

Everything Verse one Let me fill your world with my love, let me make you forget there was ever another Let me be the ultimate touch, the one you’ve been saving for the perfect lover Let me show you all that I have learned and everything I’ve seen Been waiting for this moment, let me be your everything Chorus one You can be everything We could be the high, we could be the low, we could be the heart & the mind & the soul We could be the past, we could be the now, we could be the where & the why & the how You can be everything We could be the skin, we could be the core, you and I could be reborn We could be the first, we could be the last, we could be the thing worth living for Everything……. Verse two Let me be your very first crush, make you do things that you never do Let me be the one to make your blood rush, twist and burn, let me make you so confused Let me be your first and last breath, smother you with my love’s power Let me take you to the cliff’s edge, let me be your finest shining hour Chorus two I could be everything We could be the high, we could be the low, we could be the heart & the mind & the soul We could be the past, we could be the now, we could be the where & the why & the how I could be everything We could be the skin, we could be the core, you and I could be reborn We could be the first, we could be the last, we could be the thing worth living for Everything……. We could be everything We could be everything Solo Bridge Let me be the one, the only one who makes you run, that makes you come until you have come undone Let me be the man, that makes you unable to stand, that makes you reach out for my hand, oh let me be that one. Chorus out We could be everything We could be the high, we could be the low, we could be the heart & the mind & the soul We could be the past, we could be the now, we could be the where & the why & the how We could be everything We could be the skin, we could be the core, you and I could be reborn We could be the first, we could be the last, we could be the thing worth living for We could be everything Everything………………...

Bloodhound 03:47
lyrics

Bloodhound Intro Verse one In the darkest, deepest recess, in the place you dare not go Lies the key to your heart’s mistress and the clues to your dark soul Cobblestones are wet with passion, alleyways drip with despair All that’s here just for the asking, knock three times at the bottom of the stair Chorus one Bloodhounds howling at the moonlight Bloodhounds hot upon the scent of the fight Verse Two And in the red light you look older, and there’s a hardness on your lips A foolish tattoo on your shoulder, reveals your truths and betrays your kiss But you are young and you have many lives to lose on a night like this Stay the course and at the ready, this ain’t half crazy as it will get Chorus two Bloodhounds howling at the moonlight Bloodhounds hot upon the scent of the fight When your heart pounds and your chest feels so tight Fall down and no one breaks the force of your flight Will you survive, in the red light, in the red light Breakdown Verse three As the dark begins to soften, and the sun first threats to rise Wipe the bloodstains from your wet chops Find some way to shield your eyes Find a way to shield your eyes Chorus three When your heart pounds and your chest feels so tight Fall down and no one breaks the force of your flight Like bloodhounds howling at the moonlight Bloodhounds wondering if you’ll even survive another night In the red light In the red light In the red light In the red light

Numb 03:31

Numb Intro Verse one Reckless and so hoping my mold was broken open And I was tumulting at the thing that you just said Like somehow I’d forgive you like you’d broken your curfew Or that the color blue was really the color red All the things that shine and all the things that come alive Were shadowed by the way you moved your head There can be no sun, there can be no light There can be no heat with the coldness in your eyes Chorus one You don’t feel it You’re just numb But it burns through my skin You’re just numb And it’s howling at my door You’re just numb You don’t feel it anymore You’re just numb Verse Two Explanations asked for, but what’s really left to say It’s not like some illumination will suddenly pull some sway And judgements don’t do nothing and excuses are a bore Just don’t say that you still love me when it’s clear you don’t no more And everything you want is everything it can be But everything you want is everything but me So stop acting like you saved me when you only saved yourself Introspection’s deeper than you will ever delve Chorus two You don’t feel it You’re just numb But it burns through my skin You’re just numb And it’s howling at my door You’re just numb You don’t feel it anymore You’re just numb Verse three Cast upon the cobblestone and watch it break apart Shadow sounds replace the sounds of my misplaced heart Numb is how I found you and numb is how we’ll leave You’re lucky I ever met you and I hope that you’ll miss me Chorus out You don’t feel it You’re just numb But it burns through my skin You’re just numb And it’s howling at my door You’re just numb You don’t feel it anymore You’re just numb

Meant Every Minute Intro Verse one Never meant to hurt you so, just help you grow, be your guide Came such pain, hope you’ll never know, never run, never hide Hope you see I’m a better man, when I’m able to stand on my feet ‘Til then I hope you’ll understand, I’m trying to practice what I preach Chorus one And I meant every minute, every second of time And I was always right in it, just trying to hold on Holding on for dear life Verse Two As you grow all the joys and pain, scars and stains like a tattoo But these stains help you find your way, when you’re lost and afraid that’s how they know you Chorus two I mean every moment, every second of time But time keeps on rollin’, make sure you hold it Don’t let it roll on by Solo Chorus out And I meant every moment, every second of time Yea but time keeps on rollin’, make sure you hold it Don’t let it roll on by
