      Heaven
      Give me a sign
      Waiting for the sun to shine
      Pleasure fills up my dreams
      And I love it
      Like a baby screams

      Its so useless
      How can you be proud
      When you're sinking into the ground
      Into the ground fills up my dreams
      And I love it
      Like a baby screams

      Couldn't ask for more you said
      Take it all
      And strike me
      Strike me dead

      Waiting again
      Waiting
      Like I waited before
      Waiting again
      Waiting here for nothing at all
      Heaven fills up my dreams
      And I love it
      Like a baby screams

      Couldn't ask for more you said
      Couldn't ever let it end
      Take it all
      Take it all
      And strike me dead

      Heaven

      I wish I'd stayed asleep today
      I never thought that this day would end
      I never thought that tonight could ever be
      This close to me
      Just try to see in the dark
      Just try to make it work
      To feel the fear before you're here
      I make the shapes come much too close
      I pull my eyes out
      Hold my breath
      And wait until I shake

      But if I had your faith
      Then I could make it safe and clean
      If only I was sure
      That my head on the door was a dream

      I felt like I could die
      Yesterday I got so old
      It made me want to cry
      Go on go on
      Just walk away
      Your choice is made
      Go on go on
      And disappear
      Go on go on
      Away from here

      And I know I was wrong
      When I said it was true
      That it couldn't be me and be her
      Inbetween without you
      Without you

      Yesterday I got so scared
      I shivered like a child
      Yesterday away from you
      It froze me deep inside
      Come back come back
      Don't walk away
      Come back come back
      Come back today
      Come back come back
      Why can't you see
      Come back come back
      Come back to me

      A nightmare of you
      Of death in the pool
      Wakes me up at quarter to three
      I'm lying on the floor of the night before
      With a stranger lying next to me
      A nightmare of you
      Of death in the pool
      I see no further now than this dream
      The trembling hand of the trembling man
      Hold my mouth
      To hold in a scream

      I try to think
      To make it slow
      If only here is where I go
      If this is real
      I have to see
      I turn on fire
      And next to me
      It looks good
      It tastes like nothing on earth
      It looks good
      It tastes like nothing on earth
      Its so smooth it even feels like skin
      It tells me how it feels to be new

      It tells me how it feels to be new
      A thousand voices whisper it true
      It tells me how it feels to be new
      And every voice belongs
      Every voice belongs to you

      Say goodbye on a night like this
      If it's the last thing we ever do
      You never looked as lost as this
      Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
      It goes dark
      It goes darker still
      Please stay
      But I watch you like I'm made of stone
      As you walk away

      I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
      A witch hunt for another girl
      For always and ever is always for you
      Your trust
      The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

      Say hello on a day like today
      Say it everytime you move
      The way that you look at me now
      Makes me wish I was you
      It goes deep
      It goes deeper still
      This touch
      And the smile and the shake of your head

      I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
      Can't stand here like this anymore
      For always and ever is always for you
      I want it to be perfect
      Like before
      I want to change it all

      No no no
      Don't let him stay

      He gets inside to stare at her
      The seeping mouth
      The mouth that knows
      The secret you
      Always you
      A smile to hide the fear away
      Oh smear this man across the walls
      Like strawberries and cream
      Its the only way to be

      Exactly the same clean room
      Exactly the same clean bed
      But I've stayed away too long this time
      And I've got too big to fit this time...

      Taste the taste on your tongue
      On the film on your eyes of what I've become

      What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
      What do I do when you screw up your face?
      What do I do
      When you throw out your arms
      Fall on the floor
      And keep changing your shape?
      Jump right into your mouth?
      Jump around on your tongue?

      And the film on your eyes of the way I've become
      Makes me sick at the way that I try
      Anything in the world
      To impress that I'm doing this

      The think I'm on my hands and head
      This time they're much too slow

      Six sides to every lie I say
      It's that American voice again
      It was never quite like this before
      Not one of you is the same

      The illusion is deep
      Its as deep as the night
      I can tell by your tears you remember it all


      I am paralysed by the blood of Christ
      Though it clouds my eyes
      I can never stop

      How it feels to be dry
      Walking bare in the sun
      Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
      As I cool in the twilight
      Taste the salt on my skin
      I recall all the tears
      All the broken words

      I am paralysed by the blood of Christ
      Though it clouds my eyes
      I can never stop

      When the sunsets glow drifts away from you
      You'll no longer know
      If any of this was really true at all
