This World

Here I am again sitting by myself
Sitting all alone with no one else
I like it like that, I like it that way
Never really cared for what you say
Walking up a hill with Jack and Jill
Got a 7 dollar bill to pay their way
Never took the time to look back down
Never took the time to stop and play
This world is taking me over
It's taking me over
Money to the poor, money to the rich
Isn't life strange isn't life a bitch
Bitter and twisted, evil and cold
Feeling kind of different now you're looking kind of old
Led by the blind, uranium mines
Bullets and bombs and protest songs
Headline, front-line, cable and war
Feeling kind of sick from the blood you saw
This world is taking me over
It's taking me over
Here I am again sitting by myself
Sitting all alone with no one else
I like it like that, I like it that way
Never really cared for what you say
Walking up a hill with Jack and Jill
Got a 7 dollar bill, it never paid their way
Never took the time to look back down
Never took the time to stop and play
This world is taking me over
It's taking me over

Hear her calling, temperature is falling
I melt away
Watch me bleeding, on your touch I’m feeding
She walks away
See them and their simple minds they don’t care
They turn away
But I know there’re so many more to go
So I run away
Now it’s colder than the ice forming on your face
Rearrange the world just to suit your taste
Taking every chance just to re-erase
All you leave behind
Tempt me, taunt me with your darkest sin
I won’t look away
But somehow, somewhere treading if you dare
I’m here to stay
But you’re taking such a long time in making up
Your mind’s anywhere but here
There’s nothing left of me but what your naked eye can see
I’m anywhere but here
Now it’s colder than the ice forming on your face
Rearrange the world just to suit your taste
Taking every chance just to re-erase
All you leave behind

Hereafter

I hear your elegant whispers
They're always on my mind
I feel your delicate whiskers
They could thrill me, they could kill me
Tried to run with the bulls in Spain
You got trampled underneath
Tried to dance in a hurricane
You were shaking like a leaf
You don't believe in hereafter
You don't believe in hereafter
'Coz you've got what you want, what you need
I falling on my knees
Now you've got what you want, what you need
I love the way you tease
A Golden book or a fairy tale
But you chose the Craven style
A drop of blood and you're turning pale
I can see you through my window
A double dare with a lemon twist
Now you're naked by the road
Chained to the bottle in a dirty mist
It's a dream that left you cold
You don't believe in hereafter
You don't believe in hereafter
'Coz you've got what you want, what you need
I falling on my knees
Now you've got what you want, what you need
I love the way you tease
Now you've got what you want
But is it what you need

Perfect Nightmare

Tell me once again, just so I believe it
Look at my friend, he’s laying there and he’s bleeding
Slowly so it goes, it’s the ticking of the ages
This demon deep inside of me is tired of it’s cages
Tender, tense and raw, it’s a wound without a dressing
So leave it at the door, it’s dirty too I’m guessing
Only one at a time, it’s all I can afford now
Your dream is so sublime, tell me more, tell me how
Time to sleep it’s perfect in your nightmare
So it seems I live it
In my dreams you’re walking over water
It’s perfect in your nightmare now
Waking in a sweat, I’m numb but I can feel it
Recognise regret, no more need to waste it
Is this a memory
Time please be good to me
Hope I can wake up tomorrow
Don’t want to beg and steal
Don’t want to fade away
Don’t want to sell out to borrow
Time to sleep it’s perfect in your nightmare
So it seems I live it
In my dreams you’re walking over water
It’s perfect in your nightmare
Perfect in your nightmare
Time to sleep it’s perfect in your nightmare
So it seems I live it
In my dreams you’re walking over water
It’s perfect in your nightmare
It’s perfect in your nightmare now
