Whole stage is set like always
Won’t be long before I’m gone
See them coming through the doorway
Wonderin’ whose side they are on
So I take one shot in the darkness
And move alongI was on the way to Memphis
Got no love from Caroline
How much longer can I do this?
Leaving half my heart behind
It takes one shot in the darkness
To change my mindAnd the years are passing by me
Oh, the years are running on
The fire below is coming and it won’t be longGot enough left just to get there
Not enough to make it through
If I cannot live without this
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
So I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Aim for you
Oh, I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Ooh -
Don’t need a guest list
No names inside a hat
Forget the presents
No minimums, no max
Tonight I’m thinking we
Should do this differentlyLet’s light a fire
To fight the winter cold
Red wine and cider
You know where this will go
Kristopher Kringle’s got nothing
On you and meLet’s play Secret Santa in the dark
Don’t tell anybody where we are
There’s no limit to the ways that we can celebrate
A midnight gift exchange of heartsLet’s play Secret Santa through the night
You’re the only one that I’ll invite
You don’t even have to RSVP back to me
Get over here and hold me tightDon’t need a wish list
You’re all I really want
This year for Christmas
Just keep me up ’til dawn
Wrap me in kisses
I will be your Mrs. ClausLet’s play Secret Santa in the dark
Don’t tell anybody where we are
There’s no limit to the ways that we can celebrate
A midnight gift exchange of heartsLet’s play Secret Santa through the night
You’re the only one that I’ll invite
You don’t even have to RSVP back to me
Get over here and hold me tightLet’s play Secret Santa through the night
Let’s play Secret Santa in the dark
Don’t tell anybody where we are
There’s no limit to the way that we can celebrate
A midnight gift exchange of heartsLet’s play Secret Santa through the night
You’re the only one that I’ll invite
You don’t even have to RSVP back to me
Get over here and hold me tightLet’s play Secret Santa through the night

Don’t ask me
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heartI
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apartWe could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I’d make wine from your tearsI told you
That we could fly
‘Cause we all have wings
But some of us don’t know whyI was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apartI (Don’t ask me)
I was standing (You know it’s true)
Mm, you were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We’re shining through)
And they could never tear us apartYou (Don’t ask me)
You were standing (You know it’s true)
I was there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We’re shining through)
And they could never tear us apartI-I-I
I was standing
You were there -
I’ve made mistakes
The Lord struck me down
Caught in a landslide
Lost underground
I hear them gates
Swing open wide
Come close to midnight
Hell sent me downAnd then my eyes got used to the darkness
And everyone that I knew
Was lost and so long forgotten after youNow would you break before you twist the knife?
Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
I’m too damn young to give up on the light
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
And now there’s no-one else left to love
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darknessSweet smell of roses
Have come at last
One fist of earth fights
To come join the rest
And then my eyes got used to the darkness
And everyone that I knew
Was lost and so long forgotten after youNow would you break before you twist the knife?
Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
I’m too damn young to give up on the light
I’m used to the darknessI’m used to the darkness
I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
And now there’s no one else left to love
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I got used to the darkness too
I got used to the darkness for you
I got used to the darkness tooYes I did
Would you break before you twist the knife?
Would you take my hand and take a life?
I’m too damn young to give up on the light
I’m used to the darknessI’m used to the darkness
I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
And now there’s no-one else left to loveI’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness -
When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns to the ivory cityside
Let the Magnet Mages wave the signals
Flashing oh so fast
Then you’ll meet me there under the moonshine
In a lover’s heaven, we’ll keep our promises at last
In a lover’s heaven we’ll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It’s more than a dream
Maybe we’re reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It’s more than a dream
Maybe we’re drowning in empires of delightIn the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the solar boys are playing games
They never lose
Where the sailors are swaying
Through the lightdomes shining in the sky
There you’ll meet me, darling, anyway
In a lover’s heaven, we’ll keep our promises at last
In a lover’s heaven we’ll forget the past -
Did you notice
We sleep through the night
Did you notice babe
Everything is alrightYou need me
Rest easy
I’m here
How weirdThought I’d hide
Maybe leave something
Secret behind
Never thought
I’d sing outsideYou need me
Rest easy
I’m here
How weird -
Paralytic Trance
there’s a specter at the end of my bed
there’s a wakefulness
there’s a book in my drawer filled with pages I ignored
a lack of reverance born into text, a malevolence
I could never repentI conjured the fantasies when I was younger
heard god call in a murmur, faith planted by my mother
but that plant wasn’t watered, and my hope never flourished
I never found a foundation in anything you worshippedNo verses just curses
bearing down on my mind as my trust worsens
you said your love for me was shadowed
by your god, your canon, i am unhallowedunhallowed
I am aloneguardian, step aside let no light shine in
I’ll sleep forever if it means I could speak to you again -
I can’t believe the way you showed everyone
Couldn’t they see what you could do, everyone?
I know it took you a while to get to California
I had no idea I was waiting on youI can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we live together
I can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we flowI could’ve used you in the early days
Well, it’s been such a long, long, long, long time
With the music of my mind
Most of it seems unfinished now
I can’t believe the-I can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we live together
I can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we flowNothing makes a sound
(When you’re not around)
When you’re not around
(You are, you are, my fear of death)
You are my fear of death
(So wave, so wave, so wave my fear of self)
You wave my fear of self
(And alone in the shore)
And alone in the shore
Despite what I was told
I’m finding I’m a smaller piece
Than I once thought
Oh, no, I really am
I really amWe follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow -
We are moving in our own slow motion
Believing in the lies they say
We are standing with our arms wide open
And we ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking back
We are moving in our own slow motion
Believing in the lies they say
We are standing with our arms wide open
And we ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking backSo even if you tell me not to take the fall
Come in heavy handed, and I’ll take it all
A different kind of love, a deeper kind of call
Believe me when I say I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into wallsWe are spinning in an endless ocean
We are lost in an endless maze
We are grabbing at life by the throat and
We ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking back
We are spinning in an endless ocean
We are lost in an endless maze
We are grabbing at life by the throat and
And we ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking backSo even if you tell me not to take the fall
Come in heavy handed, and I’ll take it all
A different kind of love, a deeper kind of call
Believe me when I say I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into wallsSo even if you tell me not to take the fall
Come in heavy handed, and I’ll take it all
A different kind of love, a deeper kind of call
Believe me when I say I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls -
If you really want
I’ll become the smog around you
I’ll surround you with my love
No matter how much
How could it ever be enoughI want to take care of all your needs
I wanna give you
Everything
I wanna build a nest inside your lungs
And curl up and go to sleep as close as I can be to youKeep me
Keep me safe
I need you
More than anythingKeep me
Keep me safe
I need youTreat me like a doll
I’ll be fucking perfect
See the real me
Buried in the plasticEvery fucking day
I wake up in a panic
Spinning like a drill
I can never stop
Tearing up
Inside myselfI built myself
From barely fitting parts
Scraped up off the floorBubbling
Melting in the heat
Melting you and me togetherWhat’s this stuff?
Is it even flesh?
Is it even blood?
Is it even me?I built myself
From barely fitting parts
I still fall apart
I still fall apartKeep me
Keep me safe
I need you
More than anythingKeep me
Keep me safe
I need youTreat me like a doll
I’ll be fucking perfect
See the real me
Buried in the plasticEvery fucking day
I wake up in a panic
Spinning like a drill
I can never stop
Tearing up
Inside myself
