Upon Your Chest
04:15

She likes to kill
She does it for the thrill
The darkness in her day
Takes the pain away
All the hate she gives
Is for the boy that lives
For she rides a pale horse
Straddle on by with no remorse
Baby, rest my head upon your chest
For maybe I'm the boy that you're obsessed
She acts like he's above
Searching for his love
He's better off dead
Than playing games in bed
Picture them apart
My head against your heart
He will close the door
But little did he know, here comes the war
Baby, rest my head upon your chest
Maybe I'm the boy that you're obsessed
(Na na na na)
Baby, rest my head upon your chest
For maybe I'm the boy that you're obsessed
Baby, rest my head upon your chest
For maybe I'm the boy that you're obsessed

What do we do when we run out of time?
Were we waiting for you?
Were we stepping out of line?
I was tying my shoes to the post made of staples
Reaching for the telephone lines
Like music to my eyes
Pages and pages of people and places
The faces the ages
And oh there she was
Maybe, oh baby
She'll see me in the dark
And let me into her heart
Cause' somewhere inside I was needing for loving
And now she’s done her part
I will synchronize the altitude for where his ego stands
Far off in the distance
I attempt to shake his hand
It frightens me to talk to men
Men I haven't met
Escaping the condition of astronomical predictions
Maybe, oh baby
She'll see me in the dark,
And let me into her heart
Cause' somewhere inside I was needing for loving
And now she’s done her part
Maybe, oh baby
She'll see me in the dark
And let me into her heart
Cause' somewhere inside I was needing for loving
And now she’s done her part

Hey, you little motherfuck
Who put you up to this?
Do not listen to a single word they say
All of those red ties will not protect the gays
If you tell them, they will get out of your way
If you could only realize
When I see those eyes
When I look to you
If you could only realize
How I feel inside
When I look to you
No! I refuse to let you go
This is what you made me do
Set me up before my debut
If you could only realize
When I see those eyes
When I look to you
If you could only realize
How I feel inside
When I look to you
If you could only realize
When I see those eyes
When I look to you
If you could only realize
How I feel inside
When I look to you

Cut my hair in two parts equal length
Flowers bloom at split ends equal length
Every night my dreams are the same
White witch, black hat
Baby play your game
Sing to me softly
So I can fall asleep
Count the sheep slowly
So we can fall in deep
If she left me would I even cry?
If she left me would I ask her why?
If she loved me would I tell her lies?
Sing to me softly
So I can fall asleep
Count the sheep slowly
So we can fall in deep

Feel the Diamond Blitz
05:04
|

|
I want to travel across the sea
Where nobody can bother me
I want to burn my feet on the road
Work so hard my joy will erode
If you don't know who we are
Then why won't you treat us like a star?
I want to breathe the air
That my ancestors did not use to prayer
I want to paint my lips every color you get
When you hit me with your flair
If you don't know who we are
Then why won't you treat us like a star?
Ooh, way too soon
Bring me down
Sick of being a clown
Ever swooned?
Cut my lip on your diamond blitz
Ooh, beyond the snow
If you don't know who we are
Then why won't you treat us like a star?
If you don't know who we are
Then why won't you treat us like a star?

Shadow of an Empty Dream
04:35

You were never the one for me
Just the shadow of an empty dream
You were never home for me
Home is just a place in between
The stars you see on the tv screen
The colors begin to scream
I like to be alone
The feeling gets me high inside
I can't help but hide
The feeling gets me high inside
