Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me

 

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, but no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long
Before the last one?
And tell me how long
Before the right one?

The story is old – I know
But it goes on
The story is old – I know
But it goes on

Oh, goes on
And on
Oh, goes on
And on

Relient K – I need you

 

I’ve dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can’t see
And I’ve just got bruised and battered hands

And a brand new void inside of me

Complete with walls I did create

From all the earth that I’ve displaced

A mess that I have made from what

I’ve just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been

Deserted and I have not been forgotten        

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You’re the only thing I want

Cause you’re everything I need

Explore the cave that is my chest

A torch reveals there’s nothing left

Your whispers echo off the walls

And you can hear my distant calls

The voice of who I used to be

Screaming out «someone, someone please

Please shine a light into the black”

Wade through the depths and bring me back

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been

Deserted and I have not been forgotten

I need you

I need you here

I need you now 

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You’re the only thing I want

Cause you’re everything I need

When my hopes seem to dangle

Somewhere just beyond my reach

You say you’ve heard my prayers

And read my words there on the beach

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You’re the only thing I want
Cause you’re everything I need

 the city cast a shadow
from a fundament in grey
social standards race me higher
a serenade of dreams
i try to reach
a second hope seems to existnow i got to live with them forever
this is the sorrow that comfort me
dreams of torture hunt my sleep
i’ve never been so alone before
i’ve never been scared to dream until now
so i close my eyes

this soul i have lacks something deep
a weakening emptiness brought through
and this is the pain that drives me
this cold wind that rushes over me
will the city give me shelter?
the rain that touches me
an endless emotion

now i got to live with them forever
this is the sorrow that comfort me
dreams of torture hunt my sleep
i’ve never been so alone before
i’ve never been scared to dream until now
so i close my eyes

 I destroy the past that makes you cold
And kill the demon of your raping soul
To stop the fears and to fight the voice
See through my eyes that you had no choiceI clean your mind to erase the fault
And heal the world of your cyring soul
To be free from cares I kiss his mouth
And I drink the blood that runs outI will release you from submission
To save you from confusion
I will release you from deception
To deliver you from hurt

I raise the dust that makes you blind
With velvet gloves I hold you tight
We draw the line there is nothing more
If darkness comes I will be your shore

I will release you from submission
To save you from confusion
I will release you from deception
To deliver you from hurt

I’m begging you please, please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you

Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim that
Divine purpose blesses them
That’s not what I believe, it doesn’t matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, I’m still not sure
What I do know is, to use the world is different
As we are to the world but, I guess you would know that

VNV Nation – Farthest star

 

The will to greatness clouds the mind
Consumes the senses, veils the signs
We each are meant to recognize.
Redeeming graces cast aside
Enduring notions, new found promise,
That the end will never come.

We live in times when all seems lost,
But time will come when we’ll look back,
Upon ourselves and on our failings.

Embrace the void even closer still,
Erase your doubts as you surrender everything:

We possess the power,
If this should start to fall apart,
To mend divides,
To change the world,
To reach the farthest star.
If we should stay silent.
If fear should win our hearts,
Our light will have long diminished,
Before it reaches the farthest star.

Wide awake in a world that sleeps
Enduring thoughts, enduring scenes.
The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost,
From a dead man to a world.
Without restraint, unafraid and free.

We possess the power,
If this should start to fall apart,
To mend divides,
To change the world,
To reach the farthest star.
If we should stay silent.
If fear should win our hearts,
Our light will have long diminished,
Before it reaches the farthest star.

If we fall and break,
All the tears in the world cannot make
us whole
Again.

We possess the power,
If this should start to fall apart,
To mend divides,
To change the world,
To reach the farthest star.
If we should stay silent.
If fear should win our hearts,
Our light will have long diminished,
Before it reaches the farthest star.

«For people who hide behind what they want people to believe about them»

 «a million faces, a million lies»

 VNV Nation – Chrome

 

a million faces, each a million lies
for each and all a chrome disguise
prompts for action force reaction
embody promise in a sheen so pure
hurt, the measure of blind ambition
the testament to your singular disease
against all wisdom you heed no warning
your desires giving you away

if I could change your mind
i wouldn’t save you from the path you wander
in desperation dreams any soul can set you free
and I still hear you scream
in every breath, in every single motion
burning innocence the fire to set you free

your actions turn conquest to dust
in portents of fate you foolishly place trust
sense fear in your broken breathing
resort to shadows till your body expires
all creation has the promise of heaven
and still you travel the road to hell
i’m saying nothing for the good of myself
but I’m still talking and you’re not listening

as night descends upon the city
the streets are cold, the lights go by
and in the stories of the people
a million faces, a million lies
they’ll never say they feel what you feel
that they can see the world you see
and in their faces, their expressions
a million faces, a million lies

 You
You return in the night
Don’t have a person to hold you
And you think about the past time
When you were
When you were still lovedYou go to bed alone
Don’t have a person to warm you
And you think about your lost love
Then you try to forget

Try to forget, Try to forget
Try to forget
You should try to forget
But you can’t forget

You
You don’t show your tears but I do
And you hope that someone knows
That you are alone
And takes you
And takes you in his arms

Your secrets are your thoughts
Write them down and start to cry
Write them down and start to scream
Because you know you are alone

Try to forget

Try to forget…
