THE WEIGHT OF YOUR LOVE
For a moment I felt the strength of your love
It was lightning, it was lightning
Strike down on me
I'm a lump of meat with a heartbeat
Electricity restarts me
Strike down on me
Everyday I pray I'm the first to go
Without you I would be lost
I promised myself I wouldn't talk about death
I know I'm getting boring
I'm a man holding the weight of love
But without it my strength just isn't enough
Strike down on me
Everyday I pray I'm the first to go
Without you I would be lost
I promised myself I wouldn't sing about death
I know I'm getting boring now
For a moment
I felt the weight of your love
It was lightning, it was lightning
Strike down on me
Don't leave, don't leave, I want you to realise when I'm gone
My my, my my, you are the only thing I wanna own
There's sugar on your soul, you're like no one I know
You're the light from another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you
Don't leave, don't leave, when you're lost in the moment, I am home
I try, I try to make you realise when I'm gone, gone, gone
There's sugar on your soul
You're like no one I know
You're the light from another world
You swallow me whole, with just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you
There's sugar on your soul
There's sugar on your soul
There's sugar on your soul you're like no one I know,
You're the light from another world.
You swallow me whole, with just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
Don't leave, don't leave, I want you to realise when I'm gone.
I lit a match in Vienna tonight, it caused a fire in New York
Where is my self-control?
You gotta learn to be thankful
For the things that you have
Now bathe my idle soul in desire
Taken by force
Twisting fate
Well what weighs more down on your plate?
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We’re waiting for a chance of desire
I don’t trust the government, I don’t trust myself
What is a boy gonna do?
Build a church in the city, a place to crawl with our own
We'll give our god away
Taken by force
Twisting fate
Well what weighs more down on your plate
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We’re waiting for a chance of desire
WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED LOVE
I've been your lover for the last time
All your pretendin, god knows that we tried
I've been the doctor for the last time
If we weren't so good at it we'd have both been fine
I knock you down
Bruise you with my words
I patch you up
Now it's your turn
What is this thing called love that you speak?
We're out of it, we're out of it
We built this city, now we tear it to the ground.
This fight is over
Hear the bell ringing out at the end of the final round
You knock me down
Cut me with a stare
You patch me up
Now it's my turn
What is this thing called love that you speak?
We're out of it, we're out of it
Don't you want me to stay?
Make a rocking horse getaway
The radio said we're in for a fall
The TV says nothing at all
Out of my window it echoes my heart
I've been checking for change since the start
Collide into me, I could do with a fight
Collide into me, cause it feels right
Does the honesty deceive?
Try to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shut this place down
Your bowling ball eyes have nothing to say
They knock me over again anyway
Collide into me, I could do with a fight
Collide into me, cause it feels right
Does the honesty deceive?
Trying to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shut this place down
The broken hearts of my neighbourhood
Lay cast aside like dreams in Hollywood
With the boarded up windows at the closing sales
Does the honesty deceive?
Trying to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shut this place down
The song says nothing about my demise, my fall to the floor
Sparks from your stare cascade into mine, starting a war
Monday morning's hungover red eyes hide it all the way
We walk through a crowd of strangers
Two minutes from your door, you've lived there all your life
Every conversation within you
Starts a celebration in me
Till I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
Out of it you handle it for everyone
Take a poisoned dart to my heart and then I'm done
These floorboards are creaking
My body is old
The sun casts a shadow at dusk
That cuts through your bones, your body and soul
Would you butcher my love, to understand it?
To know where it lies
Cut a hole in my heart, fill a hole in your life,
I'm yours to dissect now
Does every heartbeat burn a white heat in your blood?
Formaldehyde
The tissue and bone my soul has on loan
Aches to be near you
Are you listening carefully? Then we shall begin
Does every heartbeat burn a white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter, I hope we swim up outta this flood
Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (Until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (My formaldehyde)
Smother my love, entertain it, my mind's gonna wander
Are you listening carefully? Then we shall begin
Does every heartbeat burn a white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter, I hope we swim up outta this flood
Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (Until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (My formaldehyde)
Lost to a love that's a mile wide
Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde
Now does every heartbeat burn a white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter, I hope we swim up outta this flood
Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (Until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (My formaldehyde)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (Until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (My formaldehyde)
I'm lost to a love that's a mile wide
Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde
I'm lost to a love
Call me and tell me you care
There's a country to flatten over there
Don't bore me with the truth
I live alone, don't you?
Write down the things I should say
There ain't enough hours in the day
Perfect my cold stare
Tell your friends I dare to dare
But don't you understand the hunger makes the man
With all that lies in front of us
The world looks so ridiculous to me
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me now
I love you, I love my black eye
These knots, I'll never untie
They'll believe us and who we are
There's history in a scar
But don't you understand the hunger makes the man
With all that lies in front of us
The world looks so ridiculous to me
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me hyena
So laugh with me now
Laugh with me now
Laugh with me now
Laugh with me now
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me hyena
Laugh with me hyena
So laugh with me now
Laugh with me somehow
I want to come over
I want to come over
And tear the place apart with you
In the arms of a lover
A two hearted spider
I'm just a mess for you
All my naivety
All my fickle views
I feel my blood boil
As our shadows fuse
Every move you make, breaks me, breaks me
Every smile you fake, breaks me, breaks me
Lets build ourselves an island
I want it now
If they build a prison
I'll knock it down
All my naivety
All my fickled views
I feel my blood boil
As our shadows fuse
Every move you make, breaks me, breaks me
Every smile you fake, breaks me, breaks me
I saw our shadows dance before the dawn
I saw our shadows dance before the dawn and it breaks me
I'm on watch here, so close your eyes and get some rest
I'm here to watch your heart, it's been faulty from the start
I'm the ribs in your chest
I'm not an angel I never mean to make you cry
Jumping through my hoops with dissention in the troops
And a smile and a sigh
What's that over my shoulder?
Fear of getting older
Stay with me
Sing me a love song
From your heart or from the phone book
It don't matter to me, I'm an apple you're the tree
It won't fall when you're shook
What's that over your shoulder?
Fear of getting older
Stay with me
It ends with a kiss
It ends with a tear
It ends with the lights out
Bathed in our fear
Tell me nonsense
I don't want sincere
I saw the lightning
Cut through the last winter skies of the year
Stay with me
Keep with me
Every lie you've ever been sold
Greatest story ever told
A circling bird of prey above a church on a Sunday
I'll wrap myself in you
A little something that I can cling to
There you are, my love
There you are, my love
Rain down through my hands
Scream out like children
My heart is a church bell ringing
You are a shiver
The gold and the silver
My heart is a church bell ringing
Every lie you've ever been sold
Greatest story ever told
A circling bird of prey above a church on a Sunday
Rain down through my hands
Scream out like children
My heart is a church bell ringing
You are a shiver
The gold and the silver
My heart is a church bell ringing, to the birds
