Sunlight warms my face only in dreams of you
I know you'll wait for me...it's been too long
Beautiful eyes. beautiful lies to dull the pain
Beautiful eyes, beautiful lies...you're killing me
...

My legs are weary but I still walk
My hands are sewn and broken but I still clutch
My heart is jaded but I still love
My cup is empty but I still pour
...

He said 'Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid.'
I said 'That sounds pretty good.'
...

Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it
For so long I still can't figure out
...

Baby why are you doing this to me
Sweetheart Are those your eyes staring straight back at me
Angel I see your smile everywhere
Darling, stop
...

Life is meaningless without you
Love can be such a beautiful torture
My heart breaks as I long for you
Love can be such lovely torture
...

Turn, turn the wheels of horror
You'll hang for what you've done
I've failed to recognize my hand as part of the problem.
...

No one ever said that life was fair, and I'm not saying that it should be
So knowing that you are where you want to be, and I'm not, comes as no surprise
But don't expect me to be happy for you
And don't smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too
...

A touch of poison seals my fate
The dawn echoes the night with my glory...the sun himself honors me

Once king of roses, now lord of gold
...

There goes my valentine again
Soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone
...
