Swept away, you stole my thoughts Whispers hold me, fascinated with boredom Trouble in these fevered rooms I surrender, surrender wonder I can see your face The only one in the empty crowd I can see your face The only one in the empty crowd Children of gold, philistines of fame Makes no difference to them, everything they claim Apathetic idols, I surrender Surrender wonder I can see your face The only one in the empty crowd I can see your face The only one in the empty crowd Watch the lights go away The lights go away

When I walk, I walk alone Deserted heart towards an empty throne Traveled so far, to be with you Without shade, without night Want you to take me to shapeless lands Away from guilt, my beloved shame Gather me up in your arms and take away from here Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing To live in your life Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing To lie by your side Journey so long, to see you To watch you blush to watch you wilt Want you to take me to shapeless lands Away from guilt, my beloved shame Gather me up in your arms and take me away from here Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing To live in your life Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing To lie by your side Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing To live in your life Such a sweet thing Such a sweet thing, such a sweet thing To lie by your side

Just when things were looking up Tired themes start turning up, again These streets are young for someone else Why do I come here? Always ends up the same. What does it feel like? It feels like hell What does it feel like? It feels like hell A long time ago, just like yesterday I danced with you, in those dark little rooms Now the future's the past, I blew my chance Why do I come here? Always ends up the same. What does it feel like? It feels like hell What does it feel like? It feels like hell If that's what you want

If you follow me around Make you better Make me awful Get off the floor What a wonderful girl Make me happy Make me feel, so alone. Adorable mess, did they get you again? I can see those tears in your eyes They want to fix you, break you, make you theirs, despite what you want Can you help me find All the hidden things inside? You say you're lost alone And you're coming apart You're the rarest type, everyone wants but no one would save. Can you help me find All the hidden things inside?
5.
Now that the world is over Looking back, just looking back Can't make it up anymore When the future is behind Expectations done Without shape life is flat Run, in circles You weren't going anywhere On and off and on and off and on and off again When the empty light swings over Trance, modern night No one, separate ones Together, standing still On and off and on and off and on and off again
