Secret To The End









Oh 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






When I look around this room
There must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn't true
We've come to the end







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 have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Would have been you)





If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadnt been me






It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am 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
It's who I am, it's not for you
We've come to the end






Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
The book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Could have been you)






If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)






(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me

Waiting for the Night




I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything is dark
Keeps us from the stark reality




  


I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquility

There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything is dark
Keeps us from the stark reality








I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquility

There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were opened







Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everything is dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquility

A Pain That I'm Used To




I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control

Can you say what you're trying to play anyway
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled





All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance unknown
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds that are sown

I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair






All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

The phantom in your fingers


I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head

One touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked
One kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise



Now you're running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching for shadows
In the bed where I once slept

Now you're falling to pieces
Seeing my face wherever you go
Talking to strangers
From a place they'll never know
