I don’t know if the road I’m taking is heaven’s door or if it’s fake I’m blinded by ambitious guessing is my guess I don’t know if I’m second guessing or simply wanting for Your graces Maybe I’m just superstitious I don’t know In your arms I hear the music Lullabies of divine choosing Whisper in my ear I’ll lose it Tell me what to do I’ll do it Love like fire comes scarcely if at all It is the rain that nourishes the desert But I don’t need you if you don’t need me here And I don’t mind if you don’t mind this lie we’re living So tell me are we living now? Heaven’s door may be worth the effort but the traveling is wearing thin My resolutions and all my ambitions Let me in or let me out don’t keep me in this cloud of doubt Don’t leave me standing barefoot in the fire Are we living? Are we breathing now? Or are we gasping for air? Are we gasping for air?

Hold on to whatever you thought was right Again and again She's coming back, so you just might Slowly give up Turn your back to it Say what you need to say and don’t cry You never know what you'll find When you put your mind to it, put your mind to it Leave all your troubles behind Baby don’t put your mind to it, put your mind to it You gotta work hard to survive So put your back into it, get back into it You never know what you'll find And now when there's nothing else left to fight Again and again Her broken dreams dim the night So you try to let go Hide your mind away You said what you had to say so don’t cry

It’s not so simple anymore Between recovery and pleasure There’s no more room for self control It’s failing under pressure You were my self-indulgent game Started once in a while, now it’s everyday You escalated very quickly Becoming my unending pain The lights go out tonight [tonight, tonight] Got all you need right here, right now Tonight, tonight, tonight Come see us falling We’ll take it to new heights [tonight, tonight] The skies are calling (Innocence dies slowly) And we are flying It’s not so simple anymore When every step I take is backwards Each breath is shorter than before It’s not so simple anymore Oh oh oh ooh I’m flying Oh oh oh ooh I’m falling down Oh oh oh ooh they never say Oh oh there’s another way

Space, it never seems to end No holes that we can mend The emptiness inside us Time is never coming back Those words that we may lack Will never bring the hope back So here today and gone tomorrow Scars of perfect memories And all the time that we can’t borrow Fades... When angels fly home If there only was a way To wipe your tears away To share your pain and hurt Could I find the everlasting peace The hope for us and cease To dream my dreams of you?
6.
I should have seen you coming a million miles away I should have been more cautious, hidden my heart away I never saw it coming, suddenly in the fray You slipped past my defenses, you took my breath away You heartbreaking sight A thief in the night You’ve taken my soul tonight This heartbreak I found Your muse falls around You’ve taken my heart tonight Tonight there was no rhythm, tonight there was no rhyme I thought you were teasing, I knew there was no time For us to take this romance past heaven’s neon lights Takes more than just this moment, more than one star-crossed night

The revolution came and went and still I’m standing empty-handed I tried to fight but it’s too late there’s nothing left here that’s worth saving I heard together we might win I heard together we might stand A chance for love to hide our sins a chance for us to live forever Don’t slow me down when everyone’s dancing If I fall to the ground show me some grace now Don’t slow me down when everyone’s dancing It’s time to move on I’m taking my chances Your revolution came and went and now I’m standing stripped of feeling Your future is the casualty gods made of gold betrayed my freedom I heard together we might win I heard together we might stand A chance for love to hide our sins a chance for us to live forever Don’t slow me down, don’t slow me down, please don’t slow me down tonight Don’t slow me down, spin my world around, don’t slow me down tonight

Don’t tell me what I am You can never see what’s happening inside me And how I deal with my corroding blame Don’t tell me where I stand I don’t know if I can walk right now Without falling on my face again You’re asking me for feelings A splash of cheap emotions You’re telling me it’s time to make my choice But you don’t realize my heart has lost its shape and motion Unable to contain your love and sound of your voice Forgive me for this game I played with you not realizing where it’s going How can I ever make it up to you? I thought that I’m ready But I just kept on fooling About being able to love you Now in your eyes I realize The wreck I am All that I need is time to bleed And heal again So I let go of you So you could find somebody better now I’m sorry that I made you cry Again
10.
Complicated truth explodes inside my head And I’m reminded one more time just how weak I am Oh, if you could see the mess inside my head Oh, if I could be a man with no regret Segregated lives as if we’ve never met Everything we left behind I will not forget
11.
Don't say that everything will be alright this time Don't whisper lies into my anxious ears Don't blind the truth with your disguise my love You won't be breaking this heart twice my dear And everything we held is swept away The colors of our love have turned to gray My perfect world it crashed, it burned and fell apart My paradise became the setting for this hellish ending Now here you stand and say to me "let's pick up from the start?" You know I'll die. Is that what you were intending? You want to see what happened to this broken heart You want to feel the pieces with your own hands I'll tell you what, if it's forever on your mind You can stay away forever, stay away forever
12.
Looking for truth left you blind Looking for love broke your heart and still you fight Should you be sorry for what you’ve done? Have you some hope left? Or is it all gone? You’re standing out in the cold You’re losing sight of your soul. You think you know it all But here you are still standing alone Finding the truth was supposed to set you free And finding the love they said was everything But somewhere along the way you found that it’s not what it seems Through heartache, tears, and sorrow still you, you, you Let me remind you now Once and for all You’ve got a friend in me You’re not alone
