Quotes from the songs

"The more you change the less you feel/ believe, believe in me, believe/ that
life can change, that you're not/ stuck in vain [...] we'll crucify the insincere tonight/ we'll make things right
[...] the impossible is possible tonight/ believe in me as I believe in you" (Tonight, tonight) |
| |
|
"Nothing here ever lasts/ nothing but memories/ of what never was/ [...]
living makes me sick/ so sick I wish i'd die/ down in the belly of the beast/ I can't lie" (Jellybelly) |
| |
|
"My reflection,/ dirty mirror/ there's no connection/ to myself I'm your
lover/ I'm your zero/ I'm the face in your dream of glass [...] emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness/ is cleanliness/
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty/ just like me"
(Zero) |
| |
|
"The world is a vampire, sent to drain/ secret destroyers, hold you up to the
flames/ and what do I get, for my pain/ betrayed desires, and a piece of the game/ [...] despite all my rage I am still
just a rat in a cage/ then someone will say what is lost can never be saved"
(Bullet with butterfly wings) |
| |
|
"I disconnect the me in me/ [...] destroy the mind - destroy the body - but you/ cannot destroy the heart
[...] galaxies full of nobodies/ giving us the farewells runarounds [...] lost my innocence to a no good girl, scratch
my/ face with anvil hands"
(An ode to no one) |
| |
|
"Can I look up to you as you look down on me/ can I feel in to you as you felt in
to me" (Love) |

"In the land of star crossed lovers/ and barren hearted wanderers/ forever lost
in forsaken missives and satan's pull/ we seek the unseekable and we speak the/ unspeakable/ our hopes dead gathering
dust to dust/ in faith, in compassion, and in love"
(Cupid de locke) |
| |
|
"And should I fall from grace here with you/ will you leave me too?"
(Galapagos) |
| |
|
"Time heals but I'm forever broken/ by and by the way [...] and I knew the
echo that is love/ and I knew the secrets in your spires/ and I knew the emptiness of youth/ and I knew the solitude
of heart/ and I knew the murmurs of the soul/ and the world is drawn into your hands"
(Muzzle) |
| |
|
"In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts/ the light of all that's good, the light
of all/ that's true/ to the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned/ with gods and their creations/ with filth and disease"
(Porcelina of the vast oceans) |
| |
|
"Love is suicide/ now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace/ you can't help
deny forever/ the tragedies reside in you/ the secret sights hide in you/ the lonely nights divide you in two/ all my
blisters now revealed/ in the darkness of my dream"
(Bodies) |
| |
|
"I'll always miss her wherever she goes/ and I'll always need her more than she
could/ ever need me" (In the arms of sleep) |
| |
|
"We're all dead inside the future of a shattered past"
(Tales of a scorched earth) |
| |
|
"If you spin your love around/ the secrets of your dreams/ you may find your love
is gone/ and is not quite what it seemed/ to appear to disappear/ beneath all your darkest fears"
(thru the eyes of ruby) |
| |
|
"The sun shines but I don't/ a silver rain will wash away/ and you can tell, it's
just as well/ goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day/ goodnight, always, to all that's pure that's in your heart"
(Farewell and goodnight) |
