letra de Building a Mystery
You come out at night

That's when the energy comes

And the dark side's light

And the vampires roam

You strut your Rasta wear

And your suicide poem

And a cross from a faith

That died before Jesus came

You're building a mystery

You live in a church

Where you sleep with voodoo dolls

And you won't give up the search

For the ghosts in the halls

You wear sandals in the snow

And a smile that won't wash away

Can you look out the window

Without your shadow getting in the way?

Oh you're so beautiful

With an edge and a charm

But so careful

When I'm in your arms

'Cause you're working

Building a mystery

Holding on and holding it in

Yeah you're working

Building a mystery

And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud

A prayer from your secret god

You feed off our fears

And hold back your tears

Oh, give us a tantrum

And a know it all grin

Just when we need one

When the evening's thin

You're so beautiful

A beautiful fucked up man

You're setting up your

Razor-wire shrine

'Cause you're working

Building a mystery

Holding on and holding it in

Yeah you're working

Building a mystery

And choosing so carefully

Ooh, you're working

Building a mystery

Holding on and holding it in

Yeah you're working

Building a mystery

And choosing so carefully

I Love YouVer letra 4:44

letra de I Love You
I have a smile

Stretched from ear to ear

To see you walking down the road

We meet at the lights

I stare for a while

The world around us disappears

It's just you and me

On my island of hope

A breath between us could be miles

Let me surround you

My sea to your shore

Let me be the calm you seek

Oh and every time I'm close to you

There's too much I can't say

And you just walk away

And I forgot

To tell you

I love you

And the night's

Too long

And cold here

Without you

I grieve in my condition

For I cannot find the words to say I need you so

Oh and every time I'm close to you

There's too much I can't say

And you just walk away

And I forgot

To tell you

I love you

And the night's

Too long

And cold here

Without you

letra de Sweet Surrender
It doesn't mean much

It doesn't mean anything at all

The life I've left behind me

Is a cold room

I've crossed the last line

From where I can't return

Where every step I took in faith betrayed me

And led me from

My home

Sweet surrender

Is all that I have to give

Take me in

No questions asked

You strip away the ugliness

That surrounds me

(Who are you?)

Are you an angel?

Am I already that gone?

I only hope that I won't disappoint you

When I'm down here on

My knees

(Who are you?)

Sweet surrender

Is all that I have to give

(Who are you?)

Sweet surrender (surrender)

Is all that I have to give

And I don't understand

How the touch of your hand

I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things

I miss everything

About you

It doesn't mean much

It doesn't mean anything at all

The life I left behind me

Is a cold room

(Who are you?)

Sweet surrender (surrender)

Is all that I have to give

(Who are you?)

Sweet surrender (surrender)

Is all that I have to give

letra de Adia
Adia, I do believe I failed you

Adia, I know I've let you down

Don't you know I tried so hard

To love you in my way?

It's easy

Let it go

Adia, I'm empty since you left me

Trying to find a way to carry on

I search myself and everyone

To see where we went wrong

There's no one left to finger

There's no one here to blame

There's no one left to talk to, honey

And there ain't no one to buy our innocence

Cause we are born innocent

Believe me, Adia

We are still innocent

It's easy, we all falter

Does it matter?

Adia, I thought that we could make it

I know I can't change the way you feel

I leave you with your misery

Your friend who won't betray

I pull you from your tower

I take away your pain

I show you all the beauty you possess

If you'd only let yourself believe

Cause we are born innocent

Believe me, Adia

We are still innocent

It's easy, we all falter

Does it matter?

Cause we are born innocent

Believe me, Adia

We are still innocent

It's easy, we all falter

Does it matter?

Believe me, Adia

We are still innocent

Cause we are born innocent

Believe me, Adia

We are still innocent

It's easy, we all falter

Does it matter?

Do What You Have to DoVer letra 3:47

letra de Do What You Have to Do
What ravages of spirit

Conjured this tempestuous rage

Created you a monster

Broken by the rules of love

And fate has led you through it

You do what you have to do

And fate has led you through it

You do what you have to do

And I have the sense to recognize that

I don't know how to let you go

Every moment marked

With apparitions of your soul

I'm ever swiftly moving

Trying to escape this desire

The yearning to be near you

I do what I have to do

The yearning to be near you

I do what I have to do

But I have the sense to recognize

That I don't know how

To let you go

I don't know how

To let you go

A glowing ember

Burning hot

Burning slow

Deep within I'm shaken by the violence

Of existing for only you

I know I can't be with you

I do what I have to do

I know I can't be with you

I do what I have to do

And I have the sense to recognize but

I don't know how to let you go

I don't know how to let you go

I don't know how to let you go

letra de Witness
Make me a witness

Take me out

Out of darkness

Out of doubt

I won't weigh you down

With good intention

Won't make fire out of clay

Or other inventions

Will we burn in heaven

Like we do down here

Will the change come

While we're waiting

Everyone is waiting

And when we're done

Soul searching

As we carried the weight

And died for the cause

Is misery

Made beautiful

Right before our eyes

Will mercy be revealed

Or blind us where we stand

Will we burn in heaven

Like we do down here

Will the change come while we're waiting

Everyone is waiting

AngelVer letra 4:30

letra de Angel
Spend all your time waiting

For that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

There's always some reason

To feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

Oh beautiful release

Memory seeps from my veins

Let me be empty

Oh, and weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line

And everywhere you turn

There's vultures and thieves at your back

And the storm keeps on twisting

You keep on building the lie

That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference

Escaping one last time

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

letra de Full of Grace
The winter here's cold, and bitter

It's chilled us to the bone

We haven't seen the sun for weeks

Too long too far from home

I feel just like I'm sinking

And I claw for solid ground

I'm pulled down by the undertow

I never thought I could feel so low

Oh darkness I feel like letting go

If all of the strength and all of the courage

Come and lift me from this place

I know I can love you much better than this

Full of grace

Full of grace

My love

So it's better this way, I said

Having seen this place before

Where everything we say and do

Hurts us all the more

It's just that we stayed, too long

In the same old sickly skin

I'm pulled down by the undertow

I never thought I could feel so low

Oh darkness I feel like letting go

If all of the strength

And all of the courage

Come and lift me from this place

I know I could love you much better than this

Full of grace

I know I could love you much better than this

It's better this way
