Depeche Mode : Delta Machine
Lyrics
1. WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Welcome to my world
Step right through the door
Leave your tranquilisers at home
You don't need them anymore
All the drama queens have gone
And the devil got dismayed
He packed up and fled this town
His master plan delayed
And if you stay a while
I'll penetrate your soul
I'll bleed into your dreams
You'll want to lose control
I'll weep into your eyes
I'll make your visions sing
I'll open endless skies
And ride your broken wings
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
We'll watch the sunrise set
And the moon begin to blush
Our naked innocence
Translucently too much
And I'll hold you in my arms
And keep you by my side
And we'll sleep the devil's sleep Just to keep him satisfied
2. ANGEL
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened I began to crawl
Confused and contented I slithered around
With feelings beyond me I was lost, I was found
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language I don't understand
A babbling fountain I couldn’t have planned
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so high I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow was following me around
With elevated senses I could see and taste sound
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene
I waded into the water
I was bathed, I was drowned
Like all sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground
Oh leave me here forevermore
I found the peace I've been searching for
Oh let me sleep forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
3. HEAVEN
Sometimes I slide away Silently
I slowly lose myself over and over
Take comfort in my skin endlessly
Surrender to my will forever and ever
I dissolve in trust
I will sing with joy
I will end up dust
I'm in heaven
I stand in golden rays
Radiantly I burn a fire of love over and over
Reflecting endless light
Relentlessly I have embraced the flame forever and ever
I will scream the word
Jump into the void
I will guide the hurt
Up to heaven
4. SECRET TO THE END
When I look at you
I’m probably the same way too
I got a feeling that it’s coming soon
Could this be the end
And when I look around this room
It must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn’t true
We’ve come to the end
Oh did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it’s true
Oh the book of love
Was not enough to see us through
The problem should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
It seems so obvious to you
You’re feeling what I’m feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We’ve come to the end
Thank God I’m not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
Is who I am, is not for you
We’ve come to the end
Oh did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it’s true
Oh the book of love
Was not enough to see us through
The problem should’ve been you , should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Would’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Could’ve been you, should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
5. MY LITTLE UNIVERSE
My little universe is expanding
Slowly
Those who know me say I’m growing every day
Beautiful emptiness surrounds me
I take small steps
I’m making progress in an unspecific way
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no one in
No one
No one
No one
The limited consciousness preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough to keep the walls at bay
My little universe is expanding
Slowly
Those who know me say I’m growing every day
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no one in
No one
No one
No one
6. SLOW
Slow, slow
Slow as you can go
So I can feel all I want to know
Slow, slow
I go with your flow
Let the world keep it's carnival pace
I’d prefer to look into your beautiful face
What a waste
And the starts continue to fly by
I don’t have one desire to understand why
I don’t try
Slow, slow
Slow as you can go
I want my sense to overflow
Slow, slow
It doesn’t show
I don’t need a race in my bed
When speed’s in my heart and speed’s in my head
Instead
It’s tempting for fools to rush in
When something’s so good why should we rush and fail
It’s the same
Slow, slow
Slow as you can go
That’s how I like it
I like it
I don’t need a race in my bed
When speed’s in my heart and speed’s in my head
Instead
Slow, slow
Slow as you can go
That’s how I like it
I like it
That’s how I like it
That’s how I like it
7. BROKEN
If you want control without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long will you wait?
Is she the friend that I knew
He cannot be banned
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There’s a place where I go
Without any sand
Only you can reach me
Only you’re allowed
And you’re so far away
You’re so far from here
Do you remember
Our time without tears
When you’re falling
I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
And you were a child
You dream all day long
You dream of the future
Get lost in your sounds
Now that time is gone
It’s lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you’re falling
I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you’re falling
I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
8. THE CHILD INSIDE
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside
The shallow grave in your soul
The ghosts that have taken control
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Body parts are starting to appear and scare the child Inside away
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
Every night
Why were you always inside
On days when the weather was fine
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
Well you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died
9. SOFT TOUCH/RAWNERVE
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
Is my radar that off
Is my radar that off
I'm thinking
That you're sinking
And I'll drown
I've got a confession
That your depression
Will take me down
Am I on the right track
Am I on the right track
Have I picked a bad time
Have I picked a bad time
It's seeming
That you're dreaming
With my eyes
But why protest
When your success
Is my prize
Oh brother
Give me a helping hand
Oh brother
Tell me you understand
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
I'm thinking
That you're sinking
And I'll drown
I've got a suspicion
That your position
Is unsound
Oh brother
Give me a helping hand
Oh brother
Tell me you understand
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
10. SHOULD BE HIGHER
I dream of a day
When I dare to believe
You're the answer
When the shame
And the guilt are removed
And the truth appears
Of the touch of your hand
I lose who I am
If I want to
I try to resist but
Succumb to the bliss
Of your kiss
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Well don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want
Your arms are infected
They're holding the truth
Oh stop all your crying
This one you'll lose
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
So don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want
You should be higher
You should be higher
Love
Love
Love
Love
11. ALONE
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest
Through your failings and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t feel at home
Alone
I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed
There’s ding red eye between the black and the white
It’s evidently hard to find the night
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t play that role
Alone
Now it’s too
Too late for what should’ve have been said
Long ago
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone
12. SOOTHE MY SOUL
I'm coming for you
When the sun goes down
I'm coming for you
When there's no one around
I come to your house
Break down the door
Girl I'm shaking
I need more
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
I'm coming for you
I need to feel your skin
I'm coming for you
To stop this crawling
I'm taking my place
By your side
I'm not leaving
Until I'm satisfied
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
I'm coming for you
My body's hungry
I'm coming for you
Like a junkie
I can't stop
The desire in me
I'm not waiting
Patiently
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
There's only one way to soothe my soul
13. GOODBYE
It was you that stripped my soul
And threw it in the fire
And tamed it in the rapture
And filled me with desire
Now I'm pure
Now I'm clean
I feel good and serene
In you
There is no denying
How I have been changed
You won't hear me crying
Now misery is strange
I can dream
I can fly
Now it seems I get by
With you
Goodbye yeah
Goodbye again
I was always looking
Looking for someone
Someone to stick my hook in
And pull it out and run
Now I'm caught on your line
All my thoughts are entwined
In you
Goodbye yeah
Goodbye again
If you see me walking
Through the golden gates
Then turn around stop talking
Stop and hesitate
I'll be waiting up there
With my fate in the air
For you
BONUSDISC (DELUXE EDITION)
1. LONG TIME LIE
It's been a while since you did something
Not so long since you complained
You sit around and doing nothing
Every day
You're the coward who points the finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some space-out fantasy
That's what you do
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
Don't you never look in the mirror
Don't you know there'se so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret
While you moan
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
2. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast
So who is left to play
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past
I'm burning inside as the sun
And I only just begun
Love it fades so fast
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
I know I've had enough, maybe far too much
It's easy to be kind
And when it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I know I can leave this world behind
No need to feel ashamed
When there's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
These lines are change so fast
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
3. ALWAYS
The well is dry and the stream runs shallow
And the sun is high and the field lies fallow
My tongue is tied and my body aching
Now I'm opened wide and afraid of breaking.
The fire is hot and the table’s ready
But my stomach knots make my hands unsteady
So I take to pacing up and down the room
While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed
I just wanna be part of the light
Of the light, of the light in your eyes
I just wanna be part of the light
Of the light, of the light in your eyes
The bed is made and the candles burning
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
We're out of tricks with the silence cutting
And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting
I just wanna be part of the fire
Of the fire, of the fire in your eyes
I just wanna be part of the fire
Of the fire, of the fire in your eyes
Always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always
Forever
4. ALL THAT’S MINE
I know it's hard to reach you
I know It's hard to breathe
I know it's hard to be you sometimes
I can imagine what that means
This must be someone else's story
I can’t follow what you have planned
How can this be about me
And I’m supposed to understand
Like a ship on the ocean
Hanging out to see
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
You are still looking for redemption
Still can't find a place
If there's nothing after
There ‘ll be no saving Grace
I'll give you control now
I need some kind of sign
Come take away the sorrow now
I gave you all that's mine
Like a ship on the ocean
Hanging out to see
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Like a ship on the ocean
Hanging out to see
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
Welcome to my world
Step right through the door
Leave your tranquilisers at home
You don't need them anymore
All the drama queens have gone
And the devil got dismayed
He packed up and fled this town
His master plan delayed
And if you stay a while
I'll penetrate your soul
I'll bleed into your dreams
You'll want to lose control
I'll weep into your eyes
I'll make your visions sing
I'll open endless skies
And ride your broken wings
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
We'll watch the sunrise set
And the moon begin to blush
Our naked innocence
Translucently too much
And I'll hold you in my arms
And keep you by my side
And we'll sleep the devil's sleep Just to keep him satisfied
2. ANGEL
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened I began to crawl
Confused and contented I slithered around
With feelings beyond me I was lost, I was found
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language I don't understand
A babbling fountain I couldn’t have planned
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so high I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow was following me around
With elevated senses I could see and taste sound
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene
I waded into the water
I was bathed, I was drowned
Like all sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground
Oh leave me here forevermore
I found the peace I've been searching for
Oh let me sleep forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
3. HEAVEN
Sometimes I slide away Silently
I slowly lose myself over and over
Take comfort in my skin endlessly
Surrender to my will forever and ever
I dissolve in trust
I will sing with joy
I will end up dust
I'm in heaven
I stand in golden rays
Radiantly I burn a fire of love over and over
Reflecting endless light
Relentlessly I have embraced the flame forever and ever
I will scream the word
Jump into the void
I will guide the hurt
Up to heaven
4. SECRET TO THE END
When I look at you
I’m probably the same way too
I got a feeling that it’s coming soon
Could this be the end
And when I look around this room
It must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn’t true
We’ve come to the end
Oh did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it’s true
Oh the book of love
Was not enough to see us through
The problem should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
It seems so obvious to you
You’re feeling what I’m feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We’ve come to the end
Thank God I’m not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
Is who I am, is not for you
We’ve come to the end
Oh did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it’s true
Oh the book of love
Was not enough to see us through
The problem should’ve been you , should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Would’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Should’ve been you, could’ve been you
Should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Should’ve been you, should’ve been you
Could’ve been you, should’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
Could’ve been you, could’ve been you
If it hadn’t been me
5. MY LITTLE UNIVERSE
My little universe is expanding
Slowly
Those who know me say I’m growing every day
Beautiful emptiness surrounds me
I take small steps
I’m making progress in an unspecific way
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no one in
No one
No one
No one
The limited consciousness preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough to keep the walls at bay
My little universe is expanding
Slowly
Those who know me say I’m growing every day
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no one in
No one
No one
No one
6. SLOW
Slow, slow
Slow as you can go
So I can feel all I want to know
Slow, slow
I go with your flow
Let the world keep it's carnival pace
I’d prefer to look into your beautiful face
What a waste
And the starts continue to fly by
I don’t have one desire to understand why
I don’t try
Slow, slow
Slow as you can go

7. BROKEN
If you want control without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long will you wait?
Is she the friend that I knew
He cannot be banned
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There’s a place where I go
Without any sand
Only you can reach me
Only you’re allowed
And you’re so far away
You’re so far from here
Do you remember
Our time without tears
When you’re falling
I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
And you were a child
You dream all day long
You dream of the future
Get lost in your sounds
Now that time is gone
It’s lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you’re falling
I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you’re falling
I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
8. THE CHILD INSIDE
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside
The shallow grave in your soul
The ghosts that have taken control
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Body parts are starting to appear and scare the child Inside away
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
Every night
Why were you always inside
On days when the weather was fine
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
Well you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died
9. SOFT TOUCH/RAWNERVE
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
Is my radar that off
Is my radar that off
I'm thinking
That you're sinking
And I'll drown
I've got a confession
That your depression
Will take me down
Am I on the right track
Am I on the right track
Have I picked a bad time
Have I picked a bad time
It's seeming
That you're dreaming
With my eyes
But why protest
When your success
Is my prize
Oh brother
Give me a helping hand
Oh brother
Tell me you understand
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
I'm thinking
That you're sinking
And I'll drown
I've got a suspicion
That your position
Is unsound
Oh brother
Give me a helping hand
Oh brother
Tell me you understand
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
10. SHOULD BE HIGHER
I dream of a day
When I dare to believe
You're the answer
When the shame
And the guilt are removed
And the truth appears
Of the touch of your hand
I lose who I am
If I want to
I try to resist but
Succumb to the bliss
Of your kiss
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Well don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want
Your arms are infected
They're holding the truth
Oh stop all your crying
This one you'll lose
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
So don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want
You should be higher
You should be higher
Love
Love
Love
Love
11. ALONE
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest
Through your failings and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t feel at home
Alone
I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed
There’s ding red eye between the black and the white
It’s evidently hard to find the night
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t play that role
Alone
Now it’s too
Too late for what should’ve have been said
Long ago
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone
12. SOOTHE MY SOUL
I'm coming for you
When the sun goes down
I'm coming for you
When there's no one around
I come to your house
Break down the door
Girl I'm shaking
I need more
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
I'm coming for you
I need to feel your skin
I'm coming for you
To stop this crawling
I'm taking my place
By your side
I'm not leaving
Until I'm satisfied
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
I'm coming for you
My body's hungry
I'm coming for you
Like a junkie
I can't stop
The desire in me
I'm not waiting
Patiently
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
There's only one way to soothe my soul
13. GOODBYE
It was you that stripped my soul
And threw it in the fire
And tamed it in the rapture
And filled me with desire
Now I'm pure
Now I'm clean
I feel good and serene
In you
There is no denying
How I have been changed
You won't hear me crying
Now misery is strange
I can dream
I can fly
Now it seems I get by
With you
Goodbye yeah
Goodbye again
I was always looking
Looking for someone
Someone to stick my hook in
And pull it out and run
Now I'm caught on your line
All my thoughts are entwined
In you
Goodbye yeah
Goodbye again
If you see me walking
Through the golden gates
Then turn around stop talking
Stop and hesitate
I'll be waiting up there
With my fate in the air
For you
BONUSDISC (DELUXE EDITION)
1. LONG TIME LIE
It's been a while since you did something
Not so long since you complained
You sit around and doing nothing
Every day
You're the coward who points the finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some space-out fantasy
That's what you do
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
Don't you never look in the mirror
Don't you know there'se so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret
While you moan
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
2. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast
So who is left to play
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past
I'm burning inside as the sun
And I only just begun
Love it fades so fast
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
I know I've had enough, maybe far too much
It's easy to be kind
And when it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I know I can leave this world behind
No need to feel ashamed
When there's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
These lines are change so fast
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
3. ALWAYS
The well is dry and the stream runs shallow
And the sun is high and the field lies fallow
My tongue is tied and my body aching
Now I'm opened wide and afraid of breaking.
The fire is hot and the table’s ready
But my stomach knots make my hands unsteady
So I take to pacing up and down the room
While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed
I just wanna be part of the light
Of the light, of the light in your eyes
I just wanna be part of the light
Of the light, of the light in your eyes
The bed is made and the candles burning
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
We're out of tricks with the silence cutting
And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting
I just wanna be part of the fire
Of the fire, of the fire in your eyes
I just wanna be part of the fire
Of the fire, of the fire in your eyes
Always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always
Forever
4. ALL THAT’S MINE
I know it's hard to reach you
I know It's hard to breathe
I know it's hard to be you sometimes
I can imagine what that means
This must be someone else's story
I can’t follow what you have planned
How can this be about me
And I’m supposed to understand
Like a ship on the ocean
Hanging out to see
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
You are still looking for redemption
Still can't find a place
If there's nothing after
There ‘ll be no saving Grace
I'll give you control now
I need some kind of sign
Come take away the sorrow now
I gave you all that's mine
Like a ship on the ocean
Hanging out to see
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Like a ship on the ocean
Hanging out to see
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
