What is wrong at the end of the day What is really wrong no one dares to say You know you're wrong when there's only one right but what is wrong when right is out of sight Right rode away long ago Before rescuing wrong from below I might be mistaken I know bu...

I would know who roars mostly like the beast going out to hunt and then back to feast I consider you, I consider you I consider you From your hill of beans I will sit and roar thinking to myself: What are you waiting for? I consider you, I consider you...

Drink up, baby, stay up all night the things you could do, you won't but you might the potential you'll be, that you'll never see the promises you'll only make drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days do what I say and I'll make you...

Voices in the street, footsteps on the concrete Guess I hear just every sound, on the ground From my window view, I know a color blue That can bite so very hard, the day apart Picture fresh as water clear Days have passed without you here Street lights dan...

Rend a black drop from my heart With the weight of days The end of time has just begun I hear it call your name And no straining of the string Can reverse what will begin Some let go and some hold on There is no mistake If I could wash all ill away...

Never win and never loose There's nothing much to choose Between right and wrong Nothing lost and nothing gained The thing is quite the same Between you and me I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I st...

Can you walk on the water with I, you and I? Because your blood’s running cold Outside the familiar true to life Can you walk on the water with I, you and I? Or keep your eyes on the road And live in the familiar without you and I It glows with gates o...

Do you want me on your mind or do you want me to go on I might be yours as sure as I can say Be gone be faraway Roses on parade, they follow you down Upon your shore as sure as I can say Be gone be faraway Like fuel to fire Into the town we go, into y...

All I have or should want to be but never could it’s coming at, it’s coming at, it’s coming at, it’s coming at,it’s coming at my heart To spoil my soul with fire All my eyes can see born out of your imagery it’s coming at, it’s coming at, it’s coming...

I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hal...

Destiny made her way and found you in a room, They told me, they told me: To undo the rule of mind and body, And nature laughed away as their voices grew. They told me, They told me: “Clean out the room and bury the body”. But I know you with a heartbe...

I swear it is true The past isn’t dead It’s alive, it is happening In the back of my head No future, no past No laws of time Can undo what is happening When I close my eyes And with the stars and the moon I woke up in the night In the same place t...

Heaven hid her face as we fell down Age old habits echoed in the ground One old sing and one would hold me down They might listen if I make no sound Oh I know this From my high school heart That nothing is over From a touch it will begin Wide on the s...

Go back and forward, but all is melting like the snow Taking all from us, all we thought was left to know On what we treasure falls, falls a dusty snow Taking us backwards but where we will never know Don't break your back on the track(x4) This strong old bl...

Over the hill I will be waiting for you I won't pretend that you don't mean nothing to me Come now, come now, come back now, come back now The doubt will creep and crawl in on you The dark can leap and fall upon you Come back now, come back now Let it be, let...

We come together, here we go Around the fire, here we go Flaming higher, here we go To my surprise a fever grows Lamps will glimmer on the gloom Prey on the light in the room As we fill it to the brim We say the words we take them in Oh how the hills were la...

Guess who died, last night In grey stockings, in all might It was no loss The only God of mine He fell down, just to drown In a sea of delight To tame champagne And creatures of the night As the water took him over Filled his lungs inside out I sol...

Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the river bed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riv...

Crawling down From high hopes to the ground While trouble sings along Baby my heart and soul A giant in the room I left him long ago, following you Wind heavy on the ground A cloak before the moon I guess I've never known Someone like you Falling down From h...

These bare bones are made of glass See-through to the marrow when they pass See through the keyhole, a fate is cast Deep in the mirror smiling back In shapes like these, they run softly Trojan horses, Trojan horses Gardens grow in my eyes, Oh why do...
