I Close My Eyes (Madness, My Friend)
madness, my friend
i'm doing it again
i'm filled with
self pity
and drowning in sin
madness, my friend
i need you again
to lift me out of
this hole
please lift me out
of this
hole
i close my eyes
to the world around
me
i've lost control
of things
and i no longer
want to see
i close my eyes
to shut down my
perfection
madness you were
the virus
and i had your
infection
i close my eyes
so not to see the
truth
i just want back
the innocence
i lost so early in
youth
madness, my friend
tell me where to
begin
to rid myself
of this reptile
skin
madness, my friend
i do want to change
but i don't want to
leave you
i'll never ever
leave
you...
My Fallen Angel
my fallen angel
full
of grace
through
the darkest moments
i can
only see your face
my fallen angel
where
to begin
i only
want to be
an
extension of your sin
my fallen angel
i am
so cold
warm
me with your poison
please
grasp me in your hold
my fallen angel
help
me survive
with
your almighty power
you
can make me feel alive
my fallen angel
my
love for you has risen up
i'll
bow down before you
and
drink from your unholy cup
The End Of Time
the meteorites are falling
straight
down from the sky
its
the end of time
has
become their cry
they
think they know the answers
they
think they know the game
but
they can't accept the fact
they're
the ones to blame
they've seen their chances
and
they're marketing the light
send
your money now
and
you'll be saved from the plight
for
just a couple of thousand
well...maybe
seven
we'll
keep you safe
you
can buy your way into heaven
sinners
get
down on
your
hands and knees
he's
coming here tonight
alright
i found jesus
sitting
at the local bar
they
were right, he was with me
i
didn't have to look very far
i
didn't want to listen
but he
told me his fears
they
gave him power he didn't want
and it
brought him to tears
sinners
get
down on
your
hands and knees
he's
coming here tonight
alright
the meteorites are falling
straight
down from the sky
its
the end of time
has
become their cry
its
getting closer
we're
headed for the fall
and i
can't say i'd blame him
if he
ended it all
The Lowest Feeling
i couldn't help
what i have done
being with you
those few times
it seemed like so
much fun
i didn't mean to
fall for you
will you come and
warm me up
or let my heart
turn cold and blue
what am i supposed
to do now
i wish i could get
you to believe in me
but i do not know
how
maybe i've gotten
in a little over my head
please reach down
and grab me up
bring me back from
the dead
you were the fallen
angel in my dreams
if only it could be
real instead of what it seems
i cannot compete
with all the rest
but i need you
badly, i'm trying my best
sometimes life
doesn't do what you want to see
god, he has no
heart, he'll ignore your plea
in the darkest hour
the devils laugh at me
in your arms i am
safe, that's where i want to be
you hold redemption
for my sin
i'll let you build
me up and break me down again
