The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy

Mmmmmm, oooooo
Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark

Mmmmm, mmmmm

.......Gonna swim to the ocean floor

Mmmmmmm
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmmmm
Swim to the ocean floor

Children killing children while the.....
Students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
While the churches burn their preachers
We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry anymore
We're gonna carry this train off the track

We're gonna swim to the ocean floor

Mmmmmmm
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmmmm
Swim to the ocean floor

Let the water wash over you
Wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor

So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sins
Crash to the other shore

I can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry any more
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor

We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna cry any more
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore
Swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmmmm
Crash to the other shore

And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light
She's flying
Trying to remember
Where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when
Earth shall be as one

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there....

She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe

Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying

I'm your candy perfume girl
Your candy perfume girl
Moist warm desire
Fly to me
I'm your candy perfume girl
Your candy perfume girl
I'm your candy perfume girl
Candy

Rush me ghost you see
Every center my home
Fever steam girl
Throb the oceans

Your candy perfume girl
You're a candy perfume girl
You're candy perfume girl
Candy perfume girl

Did I lie to you?
Candy perfume girl
Did I lie to you?
Magic poison

The sacred nerve is
magic poison
It's candy
It's candy
I'm your candy perfume girl
Boy
Girl
Boy
Girl
Boy
Candy

Kiss me I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Touch me I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a correction
I'm not like this all the time
You've got this thing
You've got this thing

Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me

Looking at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one
I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins

Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light
You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms

Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be

Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start

Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as they go

Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be

I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start

Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as they go

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmm... if I could melt your heart
Mmm... we'd never be apart
Mmm ...give yourself to me
Mmm... you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mmm... if I could melt your heart
Mmm... we'd never be apart
Mmm... give yourself to me
Mmm... you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
Mmm... we'd never be apart
Mmm... give yourself to me
Mmm... you hold the key
If I could melt your heart

You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do you wanna go higher

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye

Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken..... I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress

There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye

To love but not to keep
To laugh not to weep
Your eyes they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba I've been told
You're to have
Not to hold

To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall

God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life
My soul
You make my spirit whole

Never forget who you are
Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
Never forget where you come from
From love

You are a treasure to me
You are my star
You breathe
New life
Into my broken heart

Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly

May the angels protect you
And sadness forget you
Little star

There's no reason to weep
Lay your head down to sleep
Little star

May goodness surround you
My love I have found you
Little star

Shining bright

I ran to the treetops
I ran to the sky
Out to the lake
Into the rain
That matted my hair
And soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears

I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran
I was looking for me

I ran past the churches
And the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards
And the lady that never talks
Up into the hills
I ran to the cemetery
And held my breath
And thought about your death

I ran to the lake
Up into the hills
I ran and I ran
I'm looking there still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
The forgotten names

I tasted the rain
I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels
I tasted my fears

And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up
Blinding me

I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran
I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes
And up to the hill
I ran and I ran
I'm looking there still

And I smelt her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running today

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

Go on, go on
Don't sit there like a fool
You've graduated from
A different kind of school

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

I should be glad that I'm alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved at all
And never known what I am worth

How the gods above
Could be so unfair
