The Tension And The Spark  

Darkness

Been spending so much time underground
I guess my eyes adjusted
To the lack of light
I got covered in darkness
Covered in darkness

I have been waiting, always waiting for something new
Happiness has always ended
In the blink of an eye
There was no one attending
No one attending

It doesnt really matter where it all began
All I know
I got covered in darkness
Covered in darkness

Ever wonder why I never really truly connect
Although my eyes are open
I could hold your gaze
But I never connected
Never connected

I am famous for my generosity
They say I am the kindest
But its easier
To give than receive love
Give than receive love

It doesnt really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness

Turn the pages over
Run away to nowhere
And its hard to take control
When your enemys old and afraid of you
You discover that the monster you were running from
Is the monster in you

Better to hold on to love
Better to hold on to love
Change will come

It doesnt really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness

It doesnt really matter where it all began
Cause all I know
I was lost
I was lost, no, no

It doesnt really matter where it all began, no, no
All I know
I was lost
I feel lost, lost, no



I Like The Way

Somewhere inside my evolution
Karmically I seek retribution
Looking for love in physical beauty
Desire is the drug of the bourgeoisie
And now I try to intellectualize
Like a glimmer of good in a bad mans eyes
I am consumed by the flesh haunting me
I know temptation taunts the empty

So pour yourself over me
Until theres nothing left to see yeah yeah yeah
Because I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark

The decadence of giving in to desire
Creates such entropy within
Looking for love in spiritual faces
Blind to the art of fabrication Im
Im like a baby sucking mamas milk
Want to drink my fill and then some
Leave me alone
I always thought I was better than this
But temptation tempts the temptee

Pour yourself over me
Until theres nothing left to see yeah yeah yeah... oh
Because I like the way you move in the dark
And I like the tension, the tension and the spark... oh
Because I like the way you move in the dark... oh
You know, I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the
spark oh

This physicality
Shifting me chemically
Such power over me
Its just desire
I know its treachery (shifting me chemically)
I know its just skin deep (such power over me)
I know I should resist
Im just too tired
Too tired hoo oh

Theres just one thing missing
One thing missing here is
Love

I like the way you move in the dark, eh
I like the tension, the tension and the spark (so pour yourself over
me)
You know, I like the way you move in the dark (so pour yourself over
me)
You know, I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the
spark

So pour yourself over me
(Theres just one thing missing)
(One thing missing)
Until theres nothing left to see
(Theres just one thing missing)
(The tension and the spark)
(One thing missing)
(So pour yourself over me)
Theres just one thing missing
One thing missing
(So pour yourself over me)
(I like the tension, the tension and the spark)
(Theres just one thing missing)

One thing missing here is...
Love


Light

The light, it flickers
Your light, traveling down so deep
Illumination

I have been cold, I have been blind
You have come to change my mind
I can put my faith in you

The light, it blisters
Your light, coming down so bright
Transformation
Turn it up, give me some room to grow
Turn it up, give me that sense to know

I have been cold, I have been blind
You were sent to change my mind
I can put my faith in you

For something ordinary
Its so extraordinary
I trust, I put my faith in you
In you
In you, in you
In you, in you

The light, it glitters
Your light, when I stand this close
Its almost blinding
Turn it up, give me some room to grow
Turn it up, give me the sense to know

I have been changed, I have become
I have flamed under the sun
Im the reflection of you

For something ordinary
Its so extraordinary
I trust, I put my faith in you
In you
In you, in you
In you, in you
In you, you, you

For something ordinary
Its so extraordinary
I just, I put my faith in you
In you
In you, in you
In you, you, you

It flickers
It blisters
It glitters

In you, in you
In you, you, you
You are

Dublin Sky

Ive been down a lonely street tonight
And I dont know whats wrong with me
I dont know whats wrong with me
The clouds cover up the Dublin sky
I dont know whats left of me
I dont know whats right with me
And Ive tried to keep my distance
And Ive sung Amazing Grace
Ive tarnished all our memories
But therell always be a trace of you
Of you

I remember laughing on that rivers edge
Trying to get you to jump with me
Trying to get you to fall for me
And your trembling heart it beat so fast
Holdings hands you promised me
Holding hands we counted to three
And I felt your slipping fingers
And I saw you change your mind
If I hadnt dragged you in with me
You would have let me dive without you
Without you

They sent you all the way from Hollywood
And maybe that Dublin sky was changing you
It put diamonds in your eyes
I always thought we were going to make it through
But I wanted to hear it first from you

How many days am I going to regret you?
How many nights till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all those years?
Held down by these tears?
How many dreams have I left deserted?
How many hopes have been diverted?
Have I been buried in the dirt?
Held down by this hurt?

How many loads did I let you hijack?
How many ways can I stand here in playback?
How did I end up lying here
Crying underneath the Dublin sky?

How many days am I going to regret you?
How many nights till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years?
Drowning in my tears?

How many nights am I going to regret you?
How many days till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years?
Drowning in my tears?


Hero

Outside comfort in the skin
I am all that youre projecting
Inside feel the rising tide
And the revolutions deafening

I was trying to hide my opposing side
Trying to reconcile my magical light

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I dont want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Dont pick me find someone else
(Whyd you want to bother find yourself another)

Sometimes you put all of your desires in an object of affection
But in time because you idolise there is only disappointment

I was flying so high in your perfect sky
But I needed to fall cannot have it all

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I dont want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Dont pick me find someone else
(Whyd you want to bother find yourself another)

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I dont want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Dont pick me for someone else
(Whyd you want to bother find yourself another)

Dont need to compromise
I dont need to occupy the floor
Theres a danger in boxing in my sin
And all that I am..

Its too much pressure
Ill only let you down again
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Its too much pressure
Ill only let you down again
(Whyd you want to bother find yourself another)

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I dont want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)

Ill only let you down again

Unlovable

Are my lips unkissable?
Are my eyes unlookable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Am I unlovable?

Cynical, jaded, faithless, disappointed, disillusioned, used
If I could take back all my sweat, my tears, my sex, my joy I would
My time, my love, my effort, passion, dedication
In case of mistaken identity I gave these things to you
If I sound angry, bitter, sad, infatuated, its the truth
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, just a few
Stages of acceptance that its really over
Its just so complicated and Im stupid for believing in you

You make me feel like my father never loved me
You make me feel like the act of love is empty
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you dont like?

I had your back, I held you up, I told you you were good enough
It was not reciprocated, you kept affection and yourself apart
You fed your love to me like crumbs to pigeons in the park
Sometimes I think youre satisfied to see me begging like a dog
I wasnt armoured, you were king, I gave my everything
Because sometimes you showed me just a hint of you and then
For just a moment I romanticised the notion
I can take away the torment, I can love you like they never did

You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you dont like?

You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?
Is my heart unbreakable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you despise?

Are my lips unkissable?
Are my eyes unlookable?
Is my sex undoable?
Am I unlovable?
Are my words unlistenable?
Are my hands untouchable?
Am I undesirable?
Am I unlovable?

You make me feel like my father never loved me
You make me feel like the act of love is empty
Am I so unlovable?
Is my skin untouchable?
Do I remind you of a part of you that you dont like?

You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)
Am I so unlovable?

Do I remind you of a part of you that you dont like?

You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me)
You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty)

Do I remind you of a part of you that you despise?

You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me)
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)

Void

Ive seen so many faces
These hands have lied before
Ive kissed so many lips its blocked my mind
Ive whispered bullshit, nothings
Ive cried alone in night
I thought Id found the one a million times

But doesnt anyone fill the void?
Doesnt anyone kill the joy?
Doesnt anyone take the place of you in my heart?
And doesnt anyone fill the void?
Doesnt anyone kill the joy?
Doesnt anyone take the place of you?

I let a stranger love me
I gave away my pride
I bit my lips, so I could block my mind
Ive called your name to others
Just like a spinal chord
Severed and broken but the spark still tries

And doesnt anyone fill the void?
Doesnt anyone kill the joy?
Doesnt anyone take the place of you in my heart?
Doesnt anyone fill the void?
Doesnt anyone kill the noise?
Doesnt anyone take the place of you?

They dont know you like I do
They dont see the good inside you
They dont lie with you in bed and join you when youre dreaming
They dont see your softer side
Wholl be there to turn your light on?
Who will try to wash away the stain that love has left us?

Doesnt anyone fill the void?
Doesnt anyone kill the joy?
Doesnt anyone kill the place of you in my heart?
Doesnt anyone bring the noise?
Doesnt anyone kill the joy?
Doesnt anyone take the place of you?


I Forgive You

(shut up)

for all the anguish,
the degredation,
for all the times i needed truth
and you were faithless
and dissappointment, self-deprecation
living a lie(?) fantasize and you can save me

i need my cross like a blanket(?)
misery is a comfort(?)
i can hardly stand to blame myself for filling prophecy on you(?)
and in the end i designed it
i guess i felt i deserved it
i should kiss your dirty lips for bringing me my clarity

and how did you just make me see?
how your lies have buried me
but i forgive you
lord i must forgive you
so i

i feel so high
just letting go (some word or noise)
i forgive you
lord i must forgive you
so i

(shut up)

for all the torment
loss of independence
for disrespect, carelessness with my emotions
for all the screams i swallowed
how my soul was hollowed
for giving into temptat
