A Means To Your End

I’m not a lover, I’m not a friend
All I am is just a means to an end
I never was one to play it safe
And I know that this will hurt me in the end
The never ending stories
That you always loved to hear
They are all now forgotten
Like sailors lost to sea
And all those pretty moments
The ones you ask of me
I’m all out of juice now baby
There’s nothing left in me
I’m now hanging on by a thread
There’s no point in hoping, I know the outcome
If you could only grant me just one thing
For once you’d know what it means to be me
The never ending stories
That you always loved to hear
They are all now forgotten
Like sailors lost to sea
And all those pretty moments
The ones you ask of me
I’m all out of juice now baby
There’s nothing left in me

Lost And Found

I see you standing there, lost inside the crowd
And I wonder what goes on inside your head
I know it can be hard to reach and ask for help
In this empty space you’ll need to find yourself
And I’ll be there, right by your side
I’ll hold your hand, you will be fine
Don’t be sad for things that came and went away
Try and look ahead, that’s how we find our way
I see you look at me from deep inside the crowd
It’s time to stop the show cause I was lost and found
And I’ll be there, right by your side
I’ll hold your hand, you will be fine

The Death Of Mr.Jay

Voices tell me
I should quit while I am still ahead
Places, empty spaces
That’s what has become now of my dreams
They say
What we lost in the fire we will find in the ashes
We all burn with desire and we will always suffer
When you give up your dreams they say you die
And I know for a fact they all want you to try, for a lie
I will not throw my life away
I wasn’t born to fade away
Here we are at the end of the line, at the edge of the sea
Tide’s rising but there’s no boat in sight
Days go by I’m so tired to try, to even get out of bed
Guess you’ll find me when the water subsides
Past lives now haunt me
All those things I never got to do
I am now fading in the distance
I have forgotten how to live
Here we are at the end of the line, at the edge of the sea
Tide’s rising but there’s no boat in sight
Days go by I’m so tired to try, to even get out of bed
Guess you’ll find me when the water subsides

There’s a place that lovers go to die
There’s a place beyond the storm
I want you to take me there and kill me
In the place where lovers go
Will you place my precious soul?
Go on and bury it forever in your heart
Come and take my hand, come and take me there
I just wanna be in love for one more day
And when that day ends, leave me there to die
Watch me fade away and wave your hand goodbye
In a place where legends fall
In this room I feel so small
Why don’t you come inside and look into my eyes
There’s a place that lovers go to die
There’s a place beyond the neon sign
I want you to take me there and kill me with a smile
Come and take my hand, come and take me there
I just wanna be in love for one more day
And when that day ends, leave me there to die
Watch me fade away and wave your hand goodbye

Normal People

I remember when I first saw you
You were standing alone in a corner
And I couldn’t, for the life of me, take my eyes off of you
I think that was the first time that I fell in love with you
Remember when we were young
And we would walk holding hands
Pretending that we were friends
But it was always true love
And I will love you my friend
Right until the end
Normal people like us
We shouldn’t leave this to chance
There were dark times ahead and it all felt so bad
It was then when you left and I wished that I was dead
So much time had passed
When I saw you again, my friend
But I knew right then that nothing changed
For you and I are one
Remember when we were young
And we would walk holding hands
Pretending that we were friends
But it was always true love
And I will love you my friend
Right until the end
Normal people like us
We shouldn’t leave this to chance

Fire and diamonds and iron hearts
Stars that will burn through the night
You sail alone searching for home
Since no one wants you to stay
You never forget a genuine smile
Or eyes that you filled with tears
Your promises sit by the end of the sea
Waiting for waves to wash them away
I wished for you to love me
But wishes have no power
Wishing is like hoping
In an ever tumbling tower
You should know I can see right through
And I’m drowning in the darkest blue
You should try and make this last
As this could be your only chance
I wished for you to love me
But wishes have no power
Wishing is like hoping
In an ever tumbling tower

Love's Not In My Way
04:00

Lack of love will make you weak
Lack of love will make you cruel
Your hear will wither, your eyes will dry
Lack of love will do that to you
If I knew what I’d lose moving on
I’d live each moment to the full
But there’s no going back, time flies
Memories left are fading away
Can you love the unlovable?
Would you give it a try?
Cause I now feel unlovable
Love’s not in my way
Feeling heartache ain’t so bad
It is worst not to feel at all
I’ll take some bitterness instead
Over this endless numbness
This endless want, this endless hope
This never ending loneliness
My heart has withered, my eyes are dry
As lack of love consumes my life
Can you love the unlovable?
Would you give it a try?
Cause I now feel unlovable
Love’s not in my way

The world is ending and I don’t know what to do
I feel so helpless and alone
Lost in time, all the memories we had
We’ll fade away like drawings in the sand
Off the shoulder of Orion
Our time is coming at an end
You should reach out to a friend tonight
Cause we are fighting for our life again
It’s all so grim it leaves marks upon my soul
No one is trying to do some good here anymore
There’s still hope in there but no one seem to care
It’s like we chose to dwell in darkness and decay
Off the shoulder of Orion
Our time is coming at an end
You should reach out to a friend tonight
Cause we are fighting for our life again

Every day that I’m alone
Is a day without you
For every day that I’m away
I lose one by your side…whoever you are
I’ll die again and again
I really don’t care
Whatever it takes to find you
And then we’ll fly away
And find our way
On wings made of our hope and dreams
I will turn time back again
For a thousand times
I will burn the world away
Just for a moment to see you…whoever you are
I’ll die again and again
I really don’t care
Whatever it takes to find you
And then we’ll fly away
And find our way
On wings made of our hope and dreams
