letra de Possession
Listen as the wind blows

From across the great divide

Voices trapped in yearning

Memories trapped in time

The night is my companion

And solitude my guide

Would I spend forever here

And not be satisfied

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I

Wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I stumble

So many times betrayed

Trying to find an honest word

To find the truth enslaved

Oh you speak to me in riddles

And you speak to me in rhymes

My body aches to breathe your breath

Your words keep me alive

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I

Wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander

It's morning that I dread

Another day of knowing of

The path I fear to tread

Oh into the sea of waking dreams

I follow without pride

It's nothing stands between us here

And I won't be denied

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I

Wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

I hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I

Wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes

letra de Wait
Under a blackened sky

Far beyond the glaring streetlights

Sleeping on empty dreams

The vultures lie in wait

You lay down beside me then

You were with me every waking hour

So close I could feel your breath

When all we wanted was the dream

To have and to hold

That precious little thing

Like every generation yields

The new born hope unjaded by the years

Pressed up against the glass

I found myself wanting sympathy

But to be consumed again

Oh I know would be the death of me

And there is a love that's inherently given

A kind of blindness offered to appease

And in that light of forbidden joy

Oh I know I won't receive it

When all we wanted was the dream

To have and to hold that precious little thing

Like every generation yields

The newborn hope unjaded by their years

You know if I leave you now

It doesn't mean that I love you any less

It's just the state I'm in

I can't be good to anyone else like this

When all we wanted was the dream

To have and to hold that precious little thing

Like every generation yields

The new born hope unjaded by their years

letra de Plenty
I looked into your eyes

They told me plenty

I already knew

You never felt a thing

So soon forgotten

All that you do

In more than words

I tried to tell you

The more I tried I failed

I would not let myself believe that you might stray

And I would stand by you no matter what they'd say

I thought I'd be with you until my dying day

Until my dying day

I used to think my life

Was often empty

A lonely space to fill

You hurt me more than I ever could have imagined

You made my world stand still

And in that stillness

There was a freedom I never felt before

I would not let myself believe that you might stray

And I would stand by you no matter what they'd say

I thought I'd be with you until my dying

Day

Until my dying day

letra de Good Enough
Hey your glass is empty

It's a hell of a long way home

Why don't you let me take you

It's no good to go alone

I never would have opened up

But you seemed so real to me

And after all the bullshit I've heard

It's refreshing not to see

I don't have to pretend

She doesn't expect it from me

So don't tell me I haven't been good to you

Don't tell me I have never been there for you

And just tell me why nothing is good enough

Hey little girl would you like some candy

Your momma said that it's OK

The door is open come on outside

No I can't come out today

It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder

And threw you to the ground

Who's there that makes you so afraid

You're shaken to the bone

And no I don't understand

You deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why he's never been good to you

Don't tell me why he's never been there for you

Don't you know that why is simply not good enough

So just let me try and I will be good to you

Just let me try and I will be there for you

I'll show you why you're so much more than good enough

letra de Mary
Mary walks

Down to the water's edge

And there she hangs her head

To find herself faded

Shadow of what she once was

She says "How long have I been sleeping?

And why do I feel so old?

Why do I feel so cold?

My heart is saying one thing

But my body won't let go."

With trembling hands she

Reaches up

A stranger's flesh is offered

And I would be the

Last to know

I would be the last

To let it show

And I would be the

Last to go

Take her hand

She will lead you through the fire

Give you back hope

And hope that you don't take

Too much respecting what is left

She cradled us

She held us in her arms

Unselfish in her suffering

She could not understand

That no one seemed to have the time

To cherish what is offered

And I would be the

Last to know

And I would be the last

To let it show

And I would be the

Last to go

Mary walks
ElsewhereVer letra 4:42

letra de Elsewhere
I love the time and in-between

The calm inside me

In the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a distance

I have wandered

To touch upon the years of

Reaching out and reaching in

Holding out, holding in

I believe

This is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger

In silence

If I choose to

Would you try to

Understand

I know this love is passing time

Passing through like liquid

I am drunk in my desire

But I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out and

Hold me near

I believe

I believe

This is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger

In silence

If I choose to

Would you try to

Understand

Oh the quiet child

Awaits the day when she can break free

The mold that clings like desperation

Mother can't you see I've got

To live my life the way I feel is

Right for me

Might not be right for you but it's

Right for me

I believe

I believe

This is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger

In silence

If I choose to

Would you try to

Understand it

I would

Like to linger

Here in silence

If I choose to

Would you try to

Understand

letra de Circle
There are two of us

Talking in circles

And one of us who wants to leave

In a world

Created for only

Us an empty cage

That had no key

Don't you know

We're working with flesh and blood

Carving out of jealousy

Crawling into each other

It's smothering

Every little part of me

What kind of love is this that keeps me

Hanging on

Despite everything it's doing to me

What is this love that keeps me coming

Back for more

When it will only end in misery

I know too many people unhappy

In a life from which they'd love to flee

Watching others get every offer

They're wanton for discovery

Oh my brother

My sister

My mother

You're losing your identity

Can't you see that it's you in the window

Shining with intensity

What kind of love is this that keeps me

Hanging on

Despite everything it's doing to me

What is this love that keeps me coming

Back for more

When it will only end in misery

letra de Ice
The ice is thin come on dive in

Underneath my lucid skin

The cold is lost, forgotten

Hours pass days pass time stands still

Light gets dark and darkness fills

My secret heart forbidden

I think you worried for me then

The subtle ways that I'd give in

But I know you liked the show

Tied down to this bed of shame

You tried to move around the pain

But oh your soul is anchored

The only comfort is

The moving of the river

You enter into me

A lie upon your lips

Offer what you can

I'll take all that I can get

Only a fool's here

I don't like your tragic sighs

As if your god has passed you by

Well hey fool that's your deception

Your angels speak with jilted tongues

The serpent's tale has come undone

You have no strength to squander

The only comfort is

The moving of the river

You enter into me

A lie upon your lips

Offer what you can

I'll take all that I can get

Only a fool's here to stay

Only a fool's here to stay

Only a fool's here

letra de Hold On
Hold on

Hold on to yourself

For this is gonna hurt like hell

Hold on

Hold on to yourself

You know that only time will tell

What is it in me that refuses to believe?

This isn't easier than the real thing

My love, you know that you're my best friend

You know I'd do anything for you

My love, let nothing come between us

My love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am I—?

At the crossroads I am standing

So now you're sleeping peaceful

I lie awake and pray

You'll be strong tomorrow

And will see another day

And we will praise it

And love the light that brings a smile across your face

Oh God, if you're out there, won't you hear me?

I know that we've never talked before

Oh God, the man I love is leaving

Won't you take him when he comes to your door

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell?

At the crossroads I am standing

Now you're sleeping peaceful

I lie awake and pray

That you'll be strong tomorrow

And will see another day

And we will praise it

And love the light that brings a smile

Now you're sleeping peaceful

I lie awake and pray

That you'll be strong tomorrow

And will see another day

And we will praise it

And love the light that brings a smile across your face

Hold on

Hold on to yourself

For this is gonna hurt like hell

letra de Ice Cream
Your love is better than ice cream

Better than anything else that I've tried

Your love is better than ice cream

Everyone here knows how to fight

And it's a long way down

It's a long way down

It's a long way down to the place

Where we started from

Your love is better than chocolate

Better than anything else that I've tried

Oh, love is better than chocolate

Everyone here knows how to cry

It's a long way down

It's a long way down

It's a long way down to the place

Where we started from
FearVer letra 3:56

letra de Fear
Morning smiles

Like the face

Of a newborn child

Innocent, unknowing

Winter's end

Promises

Of a long lost friend

Speaks to me of comfort

But I fear

I have nothing to give

I have so much

To lose here in this lonely place

Tangled up in your embrace

There's there's nothing I'd like better than

To fall

But I fear

I have nothing to give

Wind in time

Rapes the flower

Trembling on the vine

And nothing yields to shelter

From above

They say temptation will destroy our love

The never ending hunger

But I fear

I have nothing to give

I have so much

To lose here in this lonely place

Tangled up in our embrace

There's nothing I'd like better than

To fall

But I fear

I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose

I have nothing to give

We have so much to lose

letra de Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
All the fear has left me now

I'm not frightened anymore

It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh

It's my mouth that pushes out this breath

And if I shed a tear I won't cage it

I won't fear love

And if I feel a rage I won't deny it

I won't fear love

Companion to our demons

They will dance, and we will play

With chairs, candles, and cloth

Making darkness in the day

It will be easy to look in or out

Upstream or down without a thought

And if I shed a tear I won't cage it

I won't fear love

And if I feel a rage I won't deny it

I won't fear love

Peace in the struggle

To find peace

Comfort on the way

To comfort

And if I shed a tear I won't cage it

I won't fear love

And if I feel a rage I won't deny it

I won't fear love

I won't fear love

I won't fear love
