Soft Touch / Raw Nerve

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world

Step right through the door

Leave your tranquilizers at home

You don't need them anymore

All the drama queens are gone

And the devil got this made

He backed up and fled this town

His master plan delayed

And if you stay a while

I'll penetrate your soul

I'll bleed into your dreams

You want to lose control

I weep into your eyes

I make your vision see

I'll open endless skies

And right your broken wings

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world

Watch a sunrise set

And the moon begin to blush

And make it in a search

Translucently too much

And I hold you in my arms

I keep you by my side

And we sleep the devil's sleep

Just to keep him satisfied

And if you stay a while

I'll penetrate your soul

I'll bleed into your dreams

You want to lose control

I weep into your eyes

I make your vision see

I'll open endless skies

And right your broken wings

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world

Angel

The Angel of Love was upon me and

Lord I felt so small

The legs beneath me weakened

I began to crawl

Confused and contented I slithered around

Reveal is beyond me

I was lost, I was found

The Angel of Love was upon me and

Lord I felt so weak

I felt my tongue move in my mouth and

I began to speak

A strange kind of language I don’t understand

A babbling fountain

I couldn’t have planned

Oh leave me here forever more

I’ve found the peace I’ve been searching for

The Angel of Love was upon me and

Lord I felt so high

I swear I could have reached up

Placed my hands upon the sky

A radiant rainbow was following me around

With elevated senses

I can see and taste sound

The Angel of Love was upon me and

Lord I felt so clean

Like a preacher on Sunday

My heart was serene

I waded into the water

I was bathed I was drowned

like the sinners before me

I knelt down on the ground

Oh leave me here forever more

I’ve found the peace I’ve been searching for

Oh let me sleep forever more

I’ve found the peace I’ve been searching for

Heaven

Sometimes I slide away

silently

I slowly lose myself

Over and over

Take comfort in my skin

endlessly

surrender to my will

forever and ever

I dissolve in trust

I will sing with joy

I will end up dust

I’m in heaven

I stand in golden rays

radiantly

I burn a fire of love

Over and over

Reflects in endless light

relentlessly

I have embraced the flame

forever and ever

I will scream the word

jump into the void

I will guide the hurt

up to heaven

Secret To The End

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?

And when I look around this room

It must be something I can do

Can I convince you that it isn't true?

We've come to the end

Oh 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've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

It seems so obvious to you

You're feeling what I'm 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

Is who I am, is not for you

We've come to the end

Oh 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've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Would've been you, could've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

Should've been you (should've been you)

Should've been you (could've been you)

Should've been you

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

If it hadn't been me

Should've been you (should've been you)

(Could've been you, should've been you)

If it hadn't been me

(Could've been you, could've been you)

If it hadn't been me

My Little Universe

My little universe is expanding... slowly

Those who know me say I'm growing every day

Beautiful emptiness surrounds me

I take small steps

I'm making progress in an unspecific way

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

No one

No one

The limited consciousness preserves me

It protects me

And just connects enough to keep the walls at bay

My little universe is expanding... slowly

Those who know me say I'm growing every day

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

No one

No one

Slow

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

So I can feel all I want to know

Slow, slow

I go with your flow

Let the world keep its carnival pace

I'd prefer to look into your beautiful face

What a waste

And the starts continue to fly by

I don't have one desire to understand why

I don't try

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

I want my sense to overflow

Slow, slow

It doesn't show

I don't need a race in my bed

When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head

Instead

It's tempting for fools to rush in

When something's so good why should we rush and fail?

It's the same

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

That's how I like it

I like it

I don't need a race in my bed

When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head

Instead

Slow, slow

Slow as you can go

That's how I like it

I like it

That's how I like it

That's how I like it

Broken

If you want control without any pain

How long will you suffer?

How long will you wait?

Is she the friend that I knew?

He cannot be banned

Replaced by another

Wearing his crown

There's a place where I go

Without any sand

Only you can reach me

Only you're allowed

And you're so far away

You're so far from here

Do you remember

Our time without tears?

When you're falling

I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it

I will be there

You were broken for the start

And you were a child

You dream all day long

You dream of the future

Get lost in your sounds

Now that time is gone

It's lost for you now

Words long forgotten

Forgotten somehow

When you're falling

I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it

I will be there

You were broken for the start

When you're falling

I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it

I will be there

You were broken for the start

When you're falling

I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it

I will be there

You were broken for the start

The Child Inside

There is darkness and death in your eyes

What have you got buried inside?

The shallow grave in your soul

The ghosts that have taken control

You really should have dug a little deeper there

Body parts are starting to appear and scare

The child inside away

Each tear that flows down your face

Trickles then picks up the pace

And turns to a river inside

A river that will not subside

I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound

And watching from afar I see a child is drowned

The child inside your heart

I can see you drifting away

Heading for the light

I can see you drifting away

Every night

Why were you always inside?

On days when the weather was fine

And while we were running around

You were nowhere to be found

You know you should have taken all your dogs to bed

Well you were made to play games with your soul instead

The child inside you died

Soft Touch / Raw Nerve

Have I got a soft touch?

Have I got a soft touch?

Is my radar that off?

Is my radar that off?

I'm thinking

That you're sinking

And I'll drown

I've got a confession

That your depression

Will take me down

Am I on the right track?

Am I on the right track?

Have I picked a bad time?

Have I picked a bad time?

It's seeming

That you're dreaming

With my eyes

But why protest

When your success

Is my prize

Oh brother

Give me a helping hand

Oh brother

Tell me you understand

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I got a soft touch?

Have I got a soft touch?

I'm thinking

That you're sinking

And I'll drown

I've got a suspicion

That your position

Is unsound

Oh brother

Give me a helping hand

Oh brother

Tell me you understand

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I got a soft touch?

Have I got a soft touch?

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I hit a raw nerve?

Have I got a soft touch?

Have I got a soft touch?

Should Be Higher

should be higher

I dream of a day

when I dare to believe

you're the answer

When the shame

and the guilt are removed

and the truth appears

At the touch of your hand

I lose who I am

if I want to

I try to resist but

succumb to the place

of your kiss

You should be higher

I'll take you higher

Where you don't be afraid

You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive

than the truth

Love is all I want

Your lies are written down

in your book

Love is all I want

Your arms are infected

they're honing the truth

at the start of your crying

this one you'll lose

You should be higher

I'll take you higher

So don't be afraid

You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive

than the truth

Love is all I want

Your lies are written down

in your book

Love is all I want

You should be higher (2x)

Love (4x)

Alone

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest

Through your failings and success

Through your losses and gains

I didn't see much happiness or pain

I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't feel at home

Alone

Soothe My Soul

I saw you at your best

I knew you at your worst

I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed

There's ding red eye between the black and the white

It's evidently hard to find the night

I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't play that role

Alone

Now it's too...

Too late for what should've have been said

Long ago

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest

I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't fill that hole

Alone

I’m coming for you

when the sun goes down

I’m coming for you

When there’s no-one around

I’ll come to your house

break down the door

Girl I’m shaking

I need more

There’s only one way to soothe my soul

(there’s only one way to soothe my soul) (2x)

Only one way (only one way) (4x)

I’m coming for you

I need to feel your skin

I’m coming for you

To stop this crying

I’m taking my place

by your side

And I’m not leaving

until I’m satisfied

Theres only one way to soothe my soul

(there’s only one way to soothe my soul) (2x)

Only one way (only one way) (4x)

I’m coming for you

my body’s hungry

I’m coming for you

like a junkie

I can’t stop

desire in me

I’m not waiting

patiently

There’s only one way to soothe my soul

(there’s only one way to soothe my soul) (4x)

Only one way (only one way) (4x)

There’s only one way to soothe my soul

Goodbye

It was you that took my soul

And threw a hidden fire

And tamed it in the rapture

And filled me with desire

Now I'm pure, now I'm clean

I feel cured and surreal

In you

There is no denying

How I have been changed

You won't hear me crying

Now misery is strange

I can dream, I can fly

Now it seems I get by

With you

Good goodbye again

Good goodbye again

I was always looking, looking for someone

Someone to stick my hook in

And pull it out and run

Now I'm caught on your arm

All my thoughts are entwined

In you

Good goodbye again

Good goodbye again

If you see me walking

To the golden gates

The turn arounds stop talking

Stop and hesitate

I'll be waiting up there

Wave my fate in the air

For you

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye
