1. LOVE BURNS

Never thought I'd see her go away
She learned I loved her today
Never thought I'd see her cry
And I learned how to love her today
Never thought I'd rather die
Then try to keep her by my side

Now she's gone love burns inside me (x3)

Nothing else can hurt us now
No loss, our love's been hung on a cross
Nothing seems to make a sound
And now it's all so clear somehow
Nothing really matters now
We're gone and on our way

Now she's gone love burns inside me (x3)

She cuts my skin and bruise my lips
She's everything to me
She tears my clothes and burns my eyes
She's all I want to see
She brings the cold and scars my soul
She's heaven sent to me

Now she's gone love burns inside me (x3)

Never thought I'd leave you like the way I do, yeah
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Never thought I'd leave you like the way that I do
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone

Now she's gone love burns inside me (x3)


2. RED EYES AND TEARS

Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I fear
Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I fear
No more fear, no more fear I'm in love

Losing sensation for you my love I fear
Losing sensation for you my love I fear
No more fear, no more fear I'm in love

Spoken: I'm in love...Love...I'm in love...

Losing the reasons to breathe I never lived
I'm losing the reasons to breathe I never lived
Never lived, never lived I'm in love

These are my reasons the truth is never filled
These are my reasons the truth is never filled
I'm never filled, never filled I'm in love

Spoken: I'm in love...Love...I'm in love...

Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I kill
Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I kill
Red eyes and tears
Red eyes and tears
Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I kill
No more kill, no more kill I'm in love

Spoken: I'm in love...Love...I'm in love...


3. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY ROCK AND ROLL

Spoken: 1...2...3...4!

You want a part of me
You want the whole thing
You want to feel something more than I could ever bring
You want it badly
You want it tangled
I want to feel something more than I was strangled

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

She wants it hallow
She wants it tainted
She wants to feel something more than she was naked
You want to hide away
You're scared to touch it
I want to feel something more than I care to take

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

You know you never decide.
Why you can't trust their lies.
It's so much pain you can't describe.
There's got to be another reason for living.

She wants your image
She wants your kiss
She wants to get inside your head and tell it like it is
You want it badly
You want it so completely
I want to feel something more 'cause I can't fuckin' breathe

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?


4. AWAKE

Wanna feel what I touch
Wanna find what was lost
Wanna be kind

As you see every curse
And in a dream it'll work
Now you'll feel tied

Wanna praise with this life
And conceal without lies
I just need time

Wanna fight every need
Every push every string
Will you stand by?

I've been awake through the wrong decisions
I've held the ground now I'm gaining soul
I bit my tongue through the cold realizations
I've been accused but I've only begun

Wanna speak what I've seen
Wanna reach what I've dreamed
Wanna be kind

Wanna seal what I've cut
Wanna hear without rush
Wanna ease time

With your hand on your loss
Our scene truly cost
No one told you

And we grew from the day
Into night I'm ashamed
I will join you

I've been awake through the wrong decisions
I've held my ground now I'm gaining soul
I bit my tongue through the cold realizations
I've been accused, but I've only begun
Take me on, take me on
I've been awake, shaking to a rage
I've been awake, shaking to a rage

In the end only once
All you need is a touch
Wanna see love

Every thought you'll be shown
Every act will be known
I defend you

We'll awake every sound
Every chance I'll be found
I'll be with you

To the end now you come
Show your hands to the ones
To behold you

I've been awake through the wrong decisions
I've held my ground now I'm gaining soul
I've held my tongue through the cold realisations
I've been accused, but I've only begun
Take me on, take me on
I've been awake, shaking to a rage
Take me on, take me on
I've been awake, shaking to a rage


5. WHITE PALMS

Jesus, when you coming back
Jesus never coming back
Jesus won't take me back
Jesus never coming home

Jesus seemed to steal my soul
He'll never let me go
Jesus gonna make me pay
Never should have run away

I wanna go home

Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus I dare you to come back
Jesus when you go will you come back home

Never seems to climb inside
Walk in through my open eyes
Never shoulda ever shown
And he's all I've ever known

Jesus, when you coming back
He's never coming back
You'll never take me back
We're never going home

I wanna go home

Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus I dare you to come back
Jesus I dare you to come back home

Jesus, when you coming back
Jesus never coming back
Jesus won't take me back
Jesus never coming home

Jesus seemed to steal my soul
He'll never let me go
Jesus gonna make me pay
Never should have run away

I wanna go home

Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus I dare you to come back
Jesus I beg you to come back
Jesus when you go will you come back home

I wouldn't come back if I'd have been Jesus
I'm the kinda guy who leaves the scene of the crime

I wouldn't come back if I'd have been Jesus
I'm the kinda guy who leaves the scene of the crime

I wouldn't come back if I'd have been Jesus
I'm the...


6. AS SURE AS THE SUN

So now that everybody's gone
You see what change has come
In every song you've ever sung
You find the words were wrong

But now the time is gonna come
And there's no feeling lost
For everyone you could've loved
And made me not to love

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

Now I could see into your eyes
But there's no compromise
For anyone you coulda saved
But never recognized
And now your world is gonna fall
But I wont help at all
For everyone who sees the place
Who knows they cant belong

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

You've taken away
Much more than you gave
What keeps me down
I'm lost in a rage
No one can explain
What keeps me down
What keeps you down

So now that everybody's gone
You see no change has come
In every song you've ever sung
You find the words were wrong

And every paper that you read
You feel your spirit grieve
For everyone who's gonna fall
The distance another leaves

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

You've taken away
Much more than you gave
What keeps me down
I'm lost in a rage
No one can explain
What keeps me down
What keeps you down


7. RIFLES

I'm gonna take my time (x46)
(Sure feels like I'm falling down again) (x18)

I see the rifles coming over the hill
And if you shout maybe they stop and won't kill
But if you think like me
You'll be as dead as he

I see the lion crawling over your bed
And if you stay he'll make you walk in your mind
To what you're gonna be
It never lets you be

I see the colour in your eyes
I see the images I own
I see more colour in your eyes
Than all reflections from purple skies

I won't let you take him away
And I won't give to you the fires of hate
So I will never see
What you've done to me

I see the colour in your eyes
I see the images I own
I see more colour in your eyes
Than all reflections from purple skies

Now
You come alive
With the world at your side

Now
You come alive
With the world at your side

I see the rifles coming over the hill
And if you shout maybe they stop and won't kill
But if you think like me
You'll be as dead as he hesitated

I see the colour in your eyes
I see the images I own
I see more colour in your eyes
Than all reflections from purple skies

Now
You come alive
With the world at your side

Now
You come alive
With the world at your side


8. TOO REAL

Don't want to see what all these people see
They all seem lost with what they've found
Don't want to hear what all these people hear
It seems to tell them there's no sound
Don't want to fight what all these people fight
it's only truth that's been denied

Does it feel to real
When everything you learned in love seems to change
Does it feel too real
When everything you loved and feared seems the same

Don't want to waste away my life's in vane
To many feelings left to change
No need to talk about the other side
We learn to live in happy lies
It's all good you say just another day
We learn to say we're all the same

Does it feel to real
When everything you learned in love seems to change
Does it feel too real
When everything you loved and feared seems the same

Do you turn out the lights so you don't have to see yourself (x3)

Does it feel to real
When everything you learned in love seems to change
Does it feel too real
When everything you loved and feared seems the same

Does it feel too real
When everything you've learnt to love seems to change
Does it feel too real
When everything you love to fear seems the same

Does it feel too real...


9. SPREAD YOUR LOVE

Spread your love like a fever
And don't you ever come down
Spread your love like a fever
And don't you ever come down
I spread my love like a fever
I ain't ever coming down

She gave me love like a big fire
I only saw it once
She spread her love like a fever
She's bad, but not enough

(I'm so low)
Spread your love like a fever
(I'm so low)
And don't you ever come down
(I'm so low)
Spread your love like a fever
(I'm so low)
Don't you ever come down

I spread my love like a fever
I ain't ever coming down

She spread her love like a big fire
I only saw once
She gave me love like a sister
She's bad, but not enough

(I'm so low)
Spread your love like a fever
(I'm so low)
Don't you ever come down
(I'm so low)
Spread your love like a fever
(I'm so low)
And don't you ever come down
I spread my love like a fever
I ain't ever coming down

Spread your love like a fever
Don't you ever come down
Spread your love like a fever
Don't you ever come down
Spread your love like a fever (x4)


10. HEAD UP HIGH

You feel, no one listens, before saying you're through
You fear, nothing takes you as far as you'll go

This song is not about you
The life that stands without you
Your body and blood
Your body and blood
You're leaving us all

I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations

You feel, nothing ever stays the same as it was
You'll take, no more remedities to force yourself true
You say, every motion and fall fail you too

This song is not about you
The life that stands without you
Your body and blood
Your body and blood
You're leaving us all

I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations


11. SALVATION

So Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothing's really holy
No one, no one hears your calling
Falling everything's falling

Do you feel alive
Can you feel alive
Do you feel alive
Can you feel alive

So Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothing's really holy
No one, no one hears your calling
Falling everything's falling

Do you feel alive
Can you feel alive
Do you feel alive
Can you feel alive

I Try so hard just to speak to you
Nothing ever seems to come through
Circumstances on the breaking back
Drags you down leaves you there again

Oh salvation (x4)

Do you feel alive
Can you feel alive
Do you feel alive
Can you feel alive

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
