Track Lyrics
To Sheila Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twilight fades
Through blistered avalon
The sky’s cruel torch
On aching autobahn
Into the uncertain divine
We scream into the last divide
[Chorus]
You make me real
You make me real
Strong as I feel
You make me real
[Verse 2]
Sheila rides on
Crashing nightingale
Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails
With blushing brilliance alive
Because it’s time to arrive
[Chorus]
You make me real
You make me real
Strong as I feel
You make me real
[Chorus 2]
Lately, I just can’t seem to believe
Discard my friends to change the scenery
It meant the world to hold a bruising faith
But now, it’s just a matter of grace
[Verse 3]
A summer storm
Graces all of me
Highway warm
Sing silent poetry
And I could bring you the light
And take you home into the night
[Chorus 1 & 2]You make me real
You make me real
Strong as I feel
You make me realLately, I just can't seem to believe
Discard my friends to change the scenery
It meant the world to hold a bruising faith
But now, it's just a matter of graceNext ⇨
Ava Adore Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It’s you that I adore
You’ll always be my whore
You’ll be the mother to my child
And a child to my heart
[Refrain]
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
[Chorus]
Lovely girl, you’re the beauty in my world
Without you, there are no reasons left to find
[Verse 2]
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect, just like me
You’ll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
[Refrain]
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
[Chorus]
Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever leave behind
In time
[Bridge]
In you, I see dirty
In you, I count stars
In you, I feel so pretty
In you, I taste god
In you, I feel so hungry
In you, I crash cars
[Refrain]
We must never be apart
[Chorus]
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl, you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
In time
[Refrain]
We must never be apart
[Verse 3]
And you’ll always be my whore
'Cause you’re the one that I adore
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect, just like me
In you, I feel so dirty
In you, I crash cars
In you, I feel so pretty
In you, I taste god
[Refrain]
We must never be apart
Tear Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
The lights came on fast
Lost in motor crash
Gone in a flash, unreal
But you knew all along
You laugh the light
I sing the songs
To watch you numb
I saw you there
You were on your way
You held the rain
And for the first time
Heaven seemed insane
'Cause heaven is to blame
For taking you away
Do you know the way that I can?
Do you know the way that I can't lose?
Do you know the things that I can?
Do you know the things that I can do?
Where is your heart?
Where is your heart gone to?
Tear me apart
Tear me apart from you
You laugh the light
I cry the wound
In gray afternoons
I saw you there
You were on your way
You kissed me cold
And for the first time
Heaven seemed insane
For taking you away
'Cause heaven is to blame
For taking you away
[Instrumental Bridge]
The lights came to pass
Dead opera motor crash
Gone in a flash, unreal
In nitrous, overcast
Do you know the way that I can?
Do you know the way that I can’t choose?
Do you know the things that I can?
Do you know the things that I can’t lose?
Tear me apart
Tear me apart from you
Where is your heart?
Where has your heart run to?
Pug Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kiss and kill me sweetly
Come and drive me home
Drag the miles in me
I am yours alone
[Chorus]
Inside, where it’s warm
Wrap myself in you
Outside, where I’m torn
Fight myself in two
In two
Into you
[Verse 2]
Desire me so deeply
Drain and kick me hard
Whisper secrets for me
Try to go too far
[Chorus]
Inside, where it’s warm
Wrap myself in you
Outside, where I’m torn
Fight myself in two
In two
Into…
[Bridge]
Please, don’t change
Please, don’t change at all
Bring your rain
Bring your rain to fall
[Chorus]
Inside, where it’s warm
Wrap myself in you
Outside, where I’m torn
Fight myself in two
In two
Into you
[Outro]
Come and kiss me sweetly
(Kiss kiss)
Ride the telephone
(Kiss kiss)
Drag the miles to me
(Kiss kiss)
I am yours alone
(Kiss kiss)
Yours alone
Yours alone
On the telephone
Yours alone
Looking for a kiss, kiss
Yours alone
The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dusty screams, through doors and imaginary floors
“Why can't you miss me?”
Pistol Pete removes the final breaths from her, unkind
And she is shaken
[Pre-Chorus 1]
What does this mean, in love or in peace?
With you lying next to me
So faithless, serene
And she calls to him
[Chorus]
Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste the bitter, lost mistake of you
Let them cry out, through your rusted scars
[Verse 2]
Alone, he roams inside the ordinary catacombs of her waiting
With raven hands, she steals and staggers towards her man
Still scorned by his demon
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Because he's undone
Become the language of disaster and love, vengeance and dust
And she calls to him
[Chorus]
Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
Far out, beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste the bitter, lost mistake of you
Let them cry out, through your rusted scars
[Verse 3]
Dusty screams, through doors and imaginary scenes
Of hurt and teardrop
[Pre-Chorus 3]
As he holds her down in the cold, lonely winds
Together again, her inside him
And she calls to him
[Chorus]
Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
Far out, beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste the bitter, lost mistake of you
Let them cry out, though your rusted scars
Shame Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna see this through
Don't let them get to you
[Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
[Verse 2]
Love is good and love is kind
Love is drunk and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is drunk all the time
[Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
[Verse 3]
You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna walk so far
You're gonna wonder who you are
[Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame
Shame
Shame
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Love is good and love is kind
Love is good and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is good all the time
[Outro]
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Hello, goodbye, you know you made us cry
Behold! The Night Mare Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
[Refrain]
Appease you
The wind blows and I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You'll find me
[Refrain]
The coarse tide reflects sky
[Chorus]
And the Night Mare rides on
And the Night Mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the Night Mare rides on
[Refrain]
What I fear is lost here
The wind blows and I know
[Bridge]
All you have to do is run away
And steal yourself from me
Become a mystery to gaze into
You're so cruel in all you do
But still I believe, I believe in you
[Verse 2]
So may you come with your own knives
You'll never take me alive
With all the force of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You'll find me
[Chorus]
And the Night Mare rides on
And the Night Mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the Night Mare rides on
[Outro]
I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can't keep
