You make me dead inside I see no guiding light
I see no purpose in forgiving and trying to fix it
I want no more confusion don’t want this endless war
This is the end of the world that we created from nothing

They built you a cage of diamonds and gold
most beautiful place for you to grow old
They brought you the moon and served you the lie
and all that you wanted was freedom to fly

It’s heavy
but you are not the only one
who’s tired of giving
afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the crown on your head never felt this heavy

Harness your rage, take a leap of faith
to claim back your soul before it’s too late
Show them no fear, sing them goodbye
Leave all but your heart and you’re free to fly

It’s heavy
but you are not the only one
who’s tired of giving
afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the weight of the world never felt this heavy

Take the evident leap of faith
Don’t you be afraid

It’s heavy
but you are not the only one
who’s tired of giving
afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the cross that you bear never felt this heavy

You are not the only one
who’s tired of living
afraid of the oblivion
Cause the crown on your head, the smile that you wear
the cross that you bear never felt this heavy

The crown on your head never felt this
heavy

Mirror on the wall tell another lie
Lie about my age the colour of my eyes
Mirror on the wall show me what it’s like
Staring at a face that greets you with a smile
Mirror on the wall tell me how it feels
Being satisfied feeling good inside
Mirror on the wall show me what it’s like
Loving someone so it makes you wanna cry

Tell another story tell me not to worry
Let me find a reason
Tell me that I’m good just the way I am

Tell another story with happy ending
Tell me not to worry
Keep on pretending
Tell me there’s a sky outside the window
Tell me there is light behind the door

Have a little mercy
Don’t let me break up
Say that it’s all over before I wake up
Let me fall asleep
I must have been dreaming after all
Have a little mercy

Mirror on the wall tell another lie
Lie about my age the colour of my eyes
Mirror on the wall show me what it’s like
Staring at a face that greets you with a smile
Have a little mercy

Don’t let me break up
Say that it’s all over before I wake up
Let me fall asleep
I must have been dreaming after all
Have a little mercy

Silently breathing the air of December
Window’s left open she lies on the floor
No further questions the jury has spoken
Nobody hears as she whispers the call

Hello
Is there anybody out there in the cold?
Hello
if there’s anybody else who’s left alone
hello

Injustice has won as she climbs on the platform
Strangers are staring and waving goodbye
Closing her eyes from the madness around her
Breathing the air of this world one last time

Hello
Is there anybody out there in the cold?
Hello
if there’s anybody else who’s left alone
hello

Maybe it’s like falling asleep
Maybe it’s not so bad
I ain’t gonna leave here feeling guilty
I ain’t gonna let you have that
Go ahead crush and break my bones
but you will never touch my soul
I would rather ride a bolt of lightning
than feel nothing at all
Anybody out there in the cold?
Is there anybody out there at all? Hello

You and me ’til the end of time
Tears of joy in my eyes as you walk down the aisle
We’ll never be apart
Made a vow in front of everyone
We would dance ’til the dawn to welcome the new sun
We’ll never be apart

But somewhere in time in the distant horizon
a seed of the storm a shadow was born
I couldn’t change should have known myself better
I should have known I belong

In the city
Such a lonely sky in the city
Miss you like a fool I admid it
I belong to the city
For a minute
I though I was in love for a minute
Such a silly though I admid it
I belong to the city

As I’m leaving your loving arms
Tears of joy in my eyes as I walk out the door
The ring lies on the floor

I don’t know why but I don’t feel sorry
for you and I for anyone else
You’ll be alright you deserve to be loved
by someone who loves no-one else

So I guess I was blind
too young for your heart
To hell with the line ’til death do us part
Don’t cry for yesterday it was meant to be this way
So baby goodbye

Feeling
I thought I’d never get this feeling
My heart has never been so open for anyone
Slowly
Time is moving on so slowly
I’ve been waiting for this moment
like the rising sun

But you don’t remember
you don’t remember
you don’t remember my name
you don’t remember
you don’t remember
you don’t remember my name
You’ll never love me
you live above me
I will return to my cave
You don’t remember
you don’t remember my name

Feeling
I know I can’t afford this feeling
My heart has never been so broken for anyone
Breathing
What if just stop breathing?
As long as you’re on my radar my world is undone

What if I’d just lay down and close my eyes
Would I wake up to a new day?
What if I just don’t want the second prize
Without you there is no beauty

Because of you I find myself surviving trying harder
Because of you I’ve done things that I never thought of doing
I let my soul to taste the pain
I put myself against the grain

Because of you I don’t allow the night
To fill my sky to darken my view
Because of you I lean towards the light
Because of you I have something to lose

You watch and learn never complain about mistakes I’m making
Your trusting eyes burn on my skin inside my heart is weeping
I miss the years of disarray but I’m afraid of yesterday

Because of you I don’t allow the night
To fill my sky to darken my view
Because of you I lean towards the light
Because of you I have something to lose

Tell me you love me
Tell me a lie
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for?

Tell me a story
Pretend that it’s true
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for?

Come my love take my frozen hand
And me head in your arms
High so high I must climb
My soul flew ahead

I’ll never know if I don’t go
and see what’s on the other side
I’ll never stop thinking of you
I’ve got you on my mind

Touch my hair like a spider
Make me forget what I am
Touch my skin with your breasts
They don’t know me at all like you do

I’ll never know if I don’t go
and see what’s on the other side
I’ll never stop thinking of you
I’ve got you on my mind

I’m fading out

Don’t be afraid
I just wanted to see the sun
Hold it the one last time
I just wanted to touch the sky
Wanted to feel the rain
The shine
One more time

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

You told me my darling
Without me you’re nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies

Suddenly someone was there in the window
Looking outside at a sky that had never been blue

There’s a world without you
I see the light
Livin’ in a world without you
There is hope to guide me
I will survive
Livin’ in a world without you

It’s hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with a poisoned kiss
For forty days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Livin’ in a world without you

You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me

Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I’m finally free

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

Life is like a boat in a bottle
Try to sail you can’t with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares

Through the glass you see the same faces
Hear their voices fade like a drone
When your life’s a boat in a bottle
You’re surrounded drifting alone

Don’t leave me now
Stay another day
With me

When you’re sad
And no one knows it
I’ll send you
Black roses
When your heart’s
Dark and frozen
I will send you
Black roses

Far away we wait for each other
I’m still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair

Don’t lose your faith
Share another night
With me

Chorus

Ten black roses
Ten black roses

Your life is like a boat in the bottle
Try to sail you can’t with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child, Harry Sommerdahl

I am near you
You don’t see me
Can you feel me
I’m closer than close

Does it hurt
Does it burn
Do you know
What you’ve lost
Are you scared of the dark

Now that you’re gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love

You are falling
Down underneath
You’ll be crawling
Lower than low

Can you sleep
Can you breathe
When you know
What you’ve done
Tell me where will you run

Chorus

You were flawless
Cruel and thoughtless
And all that you left me
Is the Ghost of love

I’m fading
I’m barley breathing
Can’t hold on
I’m dying
I must be bleeding
Won’t be long

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child, James Michael

So close so far
I’m lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign

The last goodbye
Burns in my mind
Why did I leave you behind
Guess it was too high to climb

Give me a reason
Why would you want me
To live and die
Living a lie
You were the answer
All that I needed
To justify
Justify my life

Someone as beautiful as you
Could do much better it’s true
That didn’t matter to you

I tried so hard to be the one
Its something I couldn’t do
Guess I was under the gun

Chorus

It’s only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else

So close so far
I’m lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign

Chorus

It’s only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

It’s time for forgiveness
It’s time to repent
Time for ascendance
To live without revenge
We’ll never be together
It’s time to face the truth

You tell me
Who can make it last forever
Destiny
Couldn’t seal our fates together
There’s a time for anger
Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
Your forgiveness

You were my religion
I gave you my soul
Your body was the light
You were my obsession
I gave you all control
I didn’t know your
Heart was cold and made of stone

You tell me
Who can make it last forever
Destiny
Couldn’t seal our fates together
There’s a time for anger
Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
The hardest thing for you to give
Your forgiveness

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

Tomorrow’s taking me away from you
Like a jealous lover
Kiss me one last time
Before I go down this broken road I follow
You will leave me torn
And sting me like
A thorn from a dying rose
The saddest scent of you will cling to me
I know

I will run to you
When my journey’s over
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
Till I reach the sun
Then I’ll turn around and run
To you

If I stay with you and linger here
Another moment
I will fade into the scenery
You wouldn’t even see me
I’ve got nothing left to offer you
It’s not that I don’t care
All I ask is that you think of me
I swear

Chorus

I hate to see you cry
The way you look away
Makes me wanna die

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

When you found me on the street
Did you think you rescued me
Bet you thought without you I would die
Like a snake you swallowed me
I took it till I couldn’t breathe
Just to bring your fantasies to life
You count on the faithful
To get your way
And to follow your light

You got it wrong now
Cause I don’t give a …
I’m not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you’re out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

You fool me with your mystery
Preaching peace and charity
But I see through your vanity and lies
You think you got the best of me
But I will rewrite history
I’ll take back my life to your surprise
If I could make it as painful
As you did for me
I’d be just wasting my time

Chorus

There’s a little part of me
That would like to see you cry
Even if it’s just one tear
I know it would never dry

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

It feels like the end of time
Like something bad is coming
You’ve been living in the world of lies
Your see through walls are falling
It’s getting hard to except that I’m losing you

I watch as you sleep
Your nightmares break the silence
I can tell that you’re in too deep
Got your mind down to a science
And every time that I touch you
I’m losing you

You’re the eve of my destruction
In the garden of fears

Why am I devastated
You through it all away
Now who’s the one who’s lost and lonely
I gotta break away from you
Who will pay for all the things you’ve done
I’m not the only one

You’re out of control inside
I don’t need x-ray vision
To see all the desperate signs
You made your heart a prison
I took it all out of fear of losing you

In the valley of deception
There is a river of tears

Chorus

So many nights
So many fights
So many days
Too easy to erase

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

Everything is still and calm
In the dead of night
Right before for the fight
Clouds are gathering for the storm
Destiny decides
Who will live or die

I’ve been waiting for this moment
It’s time for the battle
Even if I never make it
Take me home
I might never get my story
Carved in stone
But I will rise again
The fight is to the end

The pounding of the drums of war
Turns your tears to mud
Rivers turns to blood

If you live to see another day
To take another breathe
Make it life or death

Chorus

Give me strength to carry on
Till my life is done

Everybody wants the glory
But you better remember
The fight is to the end

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

You got me in this situation
You got me backed against the wall
Caught in a web of your creation
I bet you set me up to fall

Once I thought about it
I figured out your wicked ways
There’s no doubt about it
You’d sell your soul to seal the case

You’re the dangerous kind
Now look at what you’ve done to me
What you’ve done to me baby
You’ve gotta criminal mind
Your motive is to plant a seed
Now I’d kill for you baby

You gotta shady reputation
From bed to bed to man to man
Once you deliver your temptation
No one can stop your master plan
Don’t try to lie about it
I don’t believe a thing you say
The more you try to hide it
The more the lies show on your face

Chorus

I’ve been sleeping with the enemy
Now I’m doing the time
Paying up for the crime
Guess you took everything you could from me

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

Was it an angel
That knocked on my door
Or was it a wind
Was I still sleeping
Lost in a dream
Or was it you

We swam in the fountains
Beneath the northern stars
We cried from the laughter
And died in each other’s arms

Remember
Live forever
Remember
To live for love

I got back my letters
Ages ago
Your address unknown
I pass a stranger
Who had your eyes
Or was it you

We ran through the graveyard
To catch to midnight sun
We danced drunk and naked
Until the summer was gone

Chorus

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Tonight we escape
just you and me
We’ll find our peace
somewhere across the seas

Enough of the fright
Enough of the fuss
I’ll be awake if he find us

Needless to say
I’ll stand in your way
I will protect you and I’ll…

I’ll take the shot, for you
I’ll be the shield for you
Needless to say,
I’ll stand in your way

I’ll take the shot, for you
I’ll give my life, for you
I’ll make it stop
I’ll take the shot for you

Tonight we’ll be free
I’ll find us a home
Tonight we will be
Finally on our own

Enough of the hell
Enough of the pain
I won’t let him touch you, I love you

Needless to say
I’ll stand in your way
I’ll defend you and I’ll…

Enough of the scars
Enough broken hearts
I will protect you and I’ll…

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Heaven sent you
To bring the answer
Heaven sent you
To cure this cancer

For a moment
unbeatable chance
For a moment
The world in my hands

Like an angel you came
–Every time when I prayed
Guardian of my dreams
–Watching me when I sleep
Like an angel you came
Every time when I screamed

Time after time, I lose again
Night after night I wake up
shaking cause my world is
breaking
I’m fool enough to fall again
Night after night, I wake up
crying cause I feel like dying

Still disconnected
And unprotected

Still I’m hunted
But unwanted

For a moment
Unbreakable stars
For a moment
You stayed in my arms

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Girl – you lived your life like a
sleeping swan
Your time has come
To go deeper
Girl – the final journey has
just begun
Your destiny
chose the reaper

No fear
Destination darkness
No fear
Destination darkness

Girl – the rain falls down from
the northern skies
Like poisoned knives
With no mercy
Girl – close your eyes for
the one last time
Sleepless nights
From here to eternity

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Behind those eyes lies the truth
and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles,
I’ve seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the
secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite
your sins

Fly away
Fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you – the Lucifer’s Angel

Never lived
You never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer’s Angel

Beyond these clouds you can
hide all your tears
Beyond this world you’ll be safe
from their wicked fears and
in their hearts they fear
your demands
You know their minds
wont accept you, they’ll never
understand

On your own
I know you can make it
Truth or bone
I know you can shake it
Survive alone
I know you can take it

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

We stopped and left the car
The last thing I
can recall
A ranging wave of light
Vaporized
All this life

And we ran into the field
Incapable to breathe

Rest in peace, it’s all over now
It’s the end of salvation
Memories in the photographs
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

I’ve seen this in my dream
A petrified
Family
Pointing hands at me
Victims of
The tragedy

Dust replaced their souls
Hearts turned into stones
Minds turned into stone

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

The break of dawn kills all
the beauty
The dead of night is
drifting away
Should I stay and welcome
the day
Or should I follow the one
And hide from the sun

The ray of light cuts like a razor
The blazing fire burns
in my eyes
The day reveals the
dreadful betrayer
And his wicked mind
Hide from the sun
And hide from the sun

Dead promises
Paintings of the world so pure
Ancient prophecies
remains of the world so cruel
The time has come
To hide from the sun

Like a rat I run to
the darkness
The ray of night embraces
my mind
Afraid to look back in to
the heartless
Eorld of dust and blood
I’ll hide from the sun

I know me better
I won’t be as bitter
In my own heaven
I’ll be gone forever

Won’t fall back never
I won’t crack ever
Won’t look back never

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Strange signs, crooked signals
Strike down the last aerials
Heaven’s bending
Below the world begins
to brake
Life’s ending
The time has come to escape
Down to the cambers

Drink this blood and
we’ll become
immortal, baby this love
is breaking
The one last bond

We chose the silence
Hatred, cruel violence
We should be ashamed
We had a chance that
we ignored
And now it’s too late
The end is knocking on
the door
ready to claim us

Surrender to my love
Sacrifice your soul
Your picture in the frame
Is fading like a ghost
Never say goodbye
Never be alone
Never say good night
Never say die

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Once upon a time
We had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we had a plan
Sparks in the air
We spread a lot of envy
Didn’t have to care
once upon a time

Remember when I swore
My love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when I swore
We had it all
We had it all

I’ll sail away
It’s time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I’ll fade away
The night is calling my name
You will stay
I’ll sail away

Once upon a time
We used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived
Was better than divine
Every day was like a gift
Once upon a life

Remember when you swore
Your love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We’d never fall

I’ll sail away
It’s time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I’ll fade away
The twilight’s calling my name
You will stay
I’ll sail away

No reason to lie, no need to pretend
I’m grateful to die
to live once again
I’m fearless to fly
and reach for the end
And reach for the end

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Enfolding your love in my heart
By the dawn I’ll be gone
The road keeps us apart
For some time. I’ll be gone

You promised to swallow your
tears when I leave you
You promised to follow the
leads I will give you
You said you would crawl in the
dark from the laughter
You said you would long after
me ever after

My love will grow black if your
heart gets stolen
–Just promise to keep
your heart…
One day I’ll come back if the
door’s still open
–Just promise to keep
your heart broken

Days go by like the wind
And this life is too short
It makes sense to give in
To release you from
my thoughts

I promised to write you,
I’ll always remember
I promised to try to be
back ’til December
I said I must go I must face
the disaster
I said I would come after
you ever after

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I don’t wanna feel
anything today
I don’t wanna feel
anything today
Anything at all and just be alone
I just wanna know that you
wanna know

I don’t wanna live through
another day
I don’t wanna live through
another day
Meaningless to fight for
the victory
I just wanna dive in the
heart of misery

One love
One life
Locked me in the
heart of misery
One loss
One fight
Locked me in the
heart of misery

I will never be anything again
I will never be anything again
I’m tired to give,
I don’t wanna try
I’m afraid to live,
I’m afraid to die
I just wanna fly,
throw it all away
I just wanna fly,
throw it all away
Meaningless to for
your sympathy
I just wanna drown in the
heart of misery

One man forgot to breathe
One heart refused to beat
One love is incomplete
One loss

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Holding my breathe as I walk to
your garden
Everything seems so abandoned
Roses have grown just as high
as a mountain
Fireflies glow in the dark

Don’t let go now
Somebody’s lying

Everyone came to the
final revival
It’s been a year since we’ve
been here
The spell has been cast to
welcome the arrival
The phantom of silence is near

Don’t let go now
Your garden is dying
These wounds won’t heal
Somebody’s lying

Break the spell of emptiness
And thousand years
of loneliness
Bless the path of righteousness
And walk the trails of holiness

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I feel like I’m stoned
I wanna be alone
just for a while unknown
Weeks on the road
A long way from home
Just shut off the phone

And you say I’ll heal you
I’ll always be yours
And you say I’ll kill you
if I do something wrong, yeah, yeah

Still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
Together regardless
We’ll walk trough the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my life

Remember the times
together we swore to never
give up this life
Still hanging on
Still going strong
Here I belong

And maybe I’m crazy
But I just can’t slow down
Yeah maybe I’m crazy
But at least I’m still around, yeah, yeah

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

No sleep
No sleep until I’m done
with finding the answer
Won’t stop
Won’t stop before I find
the cure for this cancer

And sometimes
I feel like going down
And so disconnected
But somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I’ve been watching
I’ve been waiting
in the shadows for my time
I’ve been searching
I’ve been living
for tomorrows all my life

They say
that I must learn to kill before I
can feel safe
But I
I’d rather kill my self then return
into their slave

And sometimes
I feel that I should go
And play with the thunders
Cause somehow
I just don’t wanna stay
And wait for a wonder

Lately I’ve been walking
Walking in circles
Watching
Waiting for something
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me
Come take me higher

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I wish you were here tonight with me
to see the northern lights
I wish you were here tonight with me
I wish I could have you by my side
tonight when the sky is burning
I wish I could have you by my side

Cause I’ve been down
And I’ve been crawling
Won’t back down no more

Can’t you stop the lies
falling from the skies
Down on me
I’m still standing
Can’t you roll the dice
I might be surprised
Conscience clear
I’m still standing here

Burns like a thousand stars
Trough you’re light years away
Burns like a thousand stars or more

You’re up there
You’re always with me
Smiling down on me

It’s something sacred
something so beautiful
Something quiet to east my mind
When the pressure’s taking me over
And over

Cause I’ve been down
And I’ve been crawling
Pushed around
Always falling
You’re up there
You’re always with me
Smiling down on me

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Feel the heat below my feet
I have to go no time to sleep
Can’t believe the things you say
I turn my head and walk away
You make me sick
You make me nervous

Times are gone when you would say
This is the one
And seize the day
Times are gone for honesty
“My victory is your defeat”
Oh can’t you see
You’ve been mistaken

In my life
I decide
And it turns me on
How I am
How I live
Who I love, yeah

In my way
I feel strong
And it turns me on
In my life, I decide, I decide

All you do, you can’t deny it
It’s waste of time, waste of life
Can I suggest that you invest
in something more than hopelessness
Before you know, the ride is over

It’s up to you if you give it up
Give it up
It’s up to you if you won’t stop

The record show that you’re dead
But you’re still living
Every time you have died
you have been giving
Another chance to fix
your bad attitude
And make a move, it’s up to you

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Fear of the dark
Tears me apart
Won’t leave me alone
And time keeps running out

Just one more life
I’m so sick and tired
Of singing the blues
I should turn my life around

Tell me why do I feel this way
All my life
I’ve been standing on the borderline
Too many bridges burned
Too many lies I’ve heard
I had a life but I can’t go back
I can’t do that
It will never be the same again
And I know I don’t
Have any time to burn

They follow me home
Disturbing my sleep
But I’ll find a place
Place where they cannot find me
Maybe I’m lost
And maybe I’m scared
But too many times
I’ve closed the doors behind me

Leave it all behind
Cross the borderline
Face the truth
Don’t have any time to…
Don’t have any time to burn

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I feel guilty
My words are empty
No signs to give you
I don’t have the time for you

You say I’m heartless
And you say I don’t care
I used to be there for you

And you’ve said I seem so dead
that I have changed but so have you

Guilty
Guilty, I feel so empty
Empty, you know how to make me feel

I put a shield upon you
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I would have only poisoned your mind
Never meant to make you cry

You’ve been so thoughtless
I can see right trough you
You used to be there for me

So don’t you leave and say goodbye
Cause you have changed but so have I

I never though that the time
And the distance between us made you
so much colder
I’ll carry the world on my shoulders

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

No more blame
I am destined to keep you sane
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart

No more blood
I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl
I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what
she’s up to
When you’ve loved and you’ve lost someone
You know what it feels like to lose

She’s fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She’s not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She’s not like the other girls I know

No more shame
She has felt too much pain in her life
In her mind she’s repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Haven’t slept in a week
My bed has become my coffin
Cannot breath
Cannot speak
My head’s like a bomb
Still waiting

Take my heart
And take my soul
I don’t need them anymore

The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
Over and over again
Dragging me under

Hypnotized by the night
silently rising beside me
Emptiness,
nothingness is burning a hole inside me
Take my faith
And take my pride
I don’t need them anymore

This bed has become my chapel of stone
A garden of darkness to where I’m thrown
So take my life
I don’t need it anymore

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

There were times in my life I was down on my knees
Now it’s over
Deep inside my heart I know
Simply put I’ve been stabbed in the back
ever since I remember
Deep inside it hurt to let go

I’m back in the picture
Back in the picture
I wonder what took so long, so long

Dedicate everything I create to my friends
I would die for
But you will always be the one
Memories that you can’t overrun
Memories I could cry for
I thought I’d always be on the run

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I dumped you again
I don’t understand
It’s happened before
Can’t take it no more

These foolish games
always end up in confusion
I’ll take you back
just to leave you once again

I died in my dreams
What’s that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire

I’ve failed you again
Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
that I felt OK

Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
just to hurt you once again

Too much
Too fast maybe
I don’t know where my
destiny’s taking me
So I’ll go
Wherever it leads me

Too high
Too low, baby
I wanna know where my
destiny’s taking me
So I’ll go
to make you believe me

Cry, cry
When there’s something to cry about
Cry, cry baby
But don’t drown in the sadness
It’s madness
Don’t ask me to explain
Don’t take away the pain
It’s impossible to save me

Too cheap
Too scary
Too creepy
To marry
Too serious
Too mysterious
And way too deep

So easy to complain
Nobody left to blame
It’s impossible to save me

Crack in the shield
Feels so unreal
No one to blame
for losing the flame
Crack in the shield
Lost in the field of sadness

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala. Textsamarbetare: Michael Blair.

I think I should go
And leave you alone, yeah
Stop this game
And hang up the phone

And more
I should go into the night alone
And get inside of the cyclone
It’s like I wanted to break my bones
to get over you
Cause if I stay
I’m number two anyway

Like a bullet you can hurt me
Take me
Break me
Like fire you can burn me
Covert me
Like a bullet you can hurt me

You say there are so many things going on
in your life now
It’s so very hard to find time for me

And you say
Do you believe in the destiny?
This is the way it was meant to be
I gotta leave you to make you see
I’m over you
Cause if I stay
I’m number two anyway

I can’t believe it when my friends say
Take it easy
Take it easy
Don’t you worry about the rainy days

Maybe I’m blind
Forever young
I don’t belong here

Like fire you can burn me
Like a bullet you can hurt me

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala. Textsamarbetare: Michael Blair.

I gotta make a phone call
to my best friends
I gotta let them know
that I’m leaving
Everything behind me
And politely
I don’t wanna hurt their feelings
Oh no

I’ll need to come back
And I wanna explain
why I had to leave them sleeping
The answer’s in the air
But I really don’t care
Cause I couldn’t really keep on breathing
the smoke

And every time when I painted my room
Like a fool I hit my feelings
And every time when I painted my room
I thought about leaving

You roll like a stone
girl you should not stop
And I don’t wanna step on your feet
And you do what you do to stay on top
And I don’t wanna make you
feel incomplete

At the end of the day
I don’t know what to say
At the end of the day
I’ll be flying away
Flying away

I don’t go to school every Monday
I’ve got me reason to sleep
Don’t you tell me how I should be

I made up my mind about the music
I made up my mind about the style
I know that I’m stable and able to settle down
But I keep…

F-F-F-Falling
Down with the sun
I can’t give it up
The night is calling me
like a drum
I keep on falling

This life is so full of temptation
And I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game

I made up my mind about the future
I made up my mind about the past
I know that I’m stable and able to hold on

I need a flame
I need a spark
Don’t be afraid to open my heart
I need a game
I need a shock
Don’t be afraid, my heart is unlocked

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala. Textsamarbetare: Michael Blair.

Well anyway it’s a long story
She’s been waiting for so long
Still got the songs in her mind
And the autograph on the photograph
She’s got a past full of secrets
She’s got a clock in her feelings
Back from the days when she used to have wings

She had a dream full of anger
She had a dream full of action
Afraid to get old she feel so cold
Such a typical reaction

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
She wanted to be a heartbreaker
Oh yeah
She was so greedy
But a lousy lovemaker
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
She wanted to be a heartbreaker

She used to be the queen of her scene
She had a key but she lost it
Nothing’s gonna last and the time goes fast
-She knows

She had a man but he missed it up again
She had a chance but she blew it
She’s got a little baby boy in her womb
But it doesn’t have a clue yet
Doesn’t have a clue yet

Striking her down
Crushing her to the ground

Understand
That you’re holding a bomb in your hands
Take control
Hand in hand with yourself from now on

Take this advice
Aim to the skies
Aim to the skies above

Show me what you’re made of
I’m waiting for the answer
Tell me what you’re afraid of
Show me what you’re made of
I call out in my sleep
I can’t reach you and it’s killing me
I call out in my sleep

The sun is gone
Days go on like a storm in the sea
And the shore is the loneliest place you be
Stay dry instead
A moment ahead
Aim to the skies above

You say that not the same kid
The one who used to be the weeper
You say it’s something deeper
Something that you couldn’t tame
Something that would wake the sleeper
You say
You say

She drinks the blood of the dinosaurs
To get her powers back
To make her boyfriend understand
That things are not what they used to be
She doesn’t have a plane
To make her boyfriend understand

Trough the gates of insanity
On the edge of humanity
She’s gonna make her dreams come true

That she belongs
To someone else

She’s found something to die for
Something to fight for
Someone to show her the way
She’s found someone to cry for
Someone to lie for
Heart full of blood of the dinosaurs

And now she belongs
To someone else

You get no kick out of champagne
Things make you sick by staying the same
So lame

And if you think that you know everybody
And if it seems inspiration is gone
Days when it feels like
nothing can turn you on

Open your eyes
to the life in this small town
How many times you’ve been leaving?
Oh yeah
And so it seems we keep coming back home
So open your eyes
to the life in this small town

I’ve always run straight to the flames
I’ve lost my face in a thousand ways
Oh yeah

Still you give a damn about my reputation
Take my as I am, you are my family
If you get lonely
you know where you will found me

And there is no way out
If you don’t wanna talk about it
If you don’t wanna turn around
I wanna have confidence in you

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala. Textsamarbetare: Michael Blair.

Have I been away too long?
Did I miss all the action?
What happened to the neighbours
And the girl next door?
Did you get my greetings?
What happened to the graffiti?
And what about this crap on the walls?

Did I forget about someone?
No offence but I had to
I didn’t have respect for the violence

And what about the music?
Did I forget about something else?
When I left in silence

Don’t let the shadows reach me
Don’t let the shadows reach me
Don’t let the shadows
swallow the light while I’m sleeping

Whatever comes to your mind
Just hit me
It’s my time
my time
The one and only lonely

Did I win the first price?
Have I cross enemylines?
Got stabbed in the back but I don’t know why
Like walking on the eggshells
Stepping over landmines
Waiting for the open sky

Did you forget about someone?
Did you forget about you and me?
And what about this envy around me?
Did I do something wrong?
Have I been away too long?
In the middle of these changes

Make me blind
Cover my eyes
You can do what you want
I’m paralyzed by the perfect mood
when we’re dancing the blindfolds on
You make it easy to love you and hate you
I can’t explain it I feel insecure
You say it’s simple
”You die just to live again”

You say we’re waiting for the last waltz
Another you and me
Another revolution heavenly romance
Waiting for the last waltz
And so it seems
We won’t find the solution
Confusion leads the dance
Waiting for the last waltz

Praise the wine
So divine
And it stinks like a rose
Allow the night
To flow inside
Open the window
And let the wind blow

Nightlight of the night is the unhappy ending
You keep refusing to answer my calls
Drop the bending and stop the pretending

You say get ready for the last waltz

I believe that no one
In this world has the answers for me
But still I hope that someone has heard

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

We get along it’s like magic
has come between us
We did it all first and now everybody’s
Gotta learn to survive
Gotta learn to stay alive

Now you say you just needed to stay away
Now you say that you are blowing yourself away

I know well what you mean when you tell me
We’re running out of credit
Yeah
Every day I will see you anyway
And I wanna do something about it

We recognize the lies nothing can stop us now
We had a blast with most ridiculous stories
Laughing is keeping us alive
And you know that’s not a lie

Now you say don’t even smile if you follow me
I see you’re not joking for the first time

I know well that the time has come when
Everything is been said and done
Well, maybe we still shouldn’t give up
Oh, yeah

Respect the fidelity
Respect the fidelity

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Funk the neighbourhood
Rock your body to the…
Kinky beat we do…
One more time

Baby don’t you slap me
And if you got to make it snappy
Your reason to feel happy
don’t you lose control

You don’t like me somehow
Girl get yourself together
You won’t live forever
I will change your mind

Gotta play on
Gotta play on
The dirty moose
To get along tomorrow better fight now
Cause I need you (yeah)

Baby don’t get tricky
I ain’t gonna play your mother
Ain’t gonna play your father
I don’t care that much
Thought I’m concerned about the way
you don’t even bother
To think about the others
I love your touch

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I can’t deny the fact that
you know me better than I do
It doesn’t matter cause I
know that you say that I’m a fool
Better the best
But if you only tell me that you love me
I don’t give a damn
Swimming with the kids

A sunny day and I’m feeling kind of quality
If I’m not going out
If not going anywhere

Go ahead if you wanna play dead
Cause I don’t give a damn

Swimming with the kids

A broken heart can be fixed with love
A broken heart can be fixed with love

Slow down
Feet of the ground
Everybody can come around
Here I am in control
I know they won’t let me down
Slow down
Feet of the ground
Everybody can come along

Here I am
I’m swimming with…
Here I am
I’m swimming with the kids

Back to the scene go mad with the groove
Yo, if you miss it there’s nothing you can do
Own fault if you think too slow
Cause I don’t give a damn

Swimming with the kids

So if you really don’t wanna leave the bed
I’ll take a step back and let you play dead
I ain’t sure what this song is about
But sure I don’t give a damn

Swimming with the kids

Pick it up Mr. Love is on the line
Pick it up Mr. Love is on the line

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I spin around and find myself again with a thought
I’m just a man in the street
You check it out another lookalike
But he’s not me
I know the places
I know the faces
And I know the fact that the action is to go

I’m satisfied with the tempo of the night
Oh, can’t you see

Lights are blinking
And I’m thinking
That I’m sinking
into the groove of the night
You hang around with me
And I’ll let you know
Things that we can do
A place that we can go

When the world is in her hands everything’s complete
When the world is in her hands
It’s everything I need
She loves you all the same though black turns to white
Oh, yes she’s generating love

You don’t have to answer
I’ll find another dancer
I’m a man in the street
To get your daily satisfaction
You got to be greedy

No time to settle down
No time to push myself around

Let me say
Once again I’ve gotta feeling
that I’m dealing with the grove of the night
Every move she does is generation love
It’s in her vains
It’s in her blood

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Now that you know that committing is hard
It’s time to fly around and I say
No more walking hand in hand in the park
It’s time to fly around and I say

It’s time to fly around
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Time to fly around

Let me know when you’re back in control
When you exist again and I say
Would it be so bad to be alone
For a while and smile when I say

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

You landed on time
In the city of the dead
How was your flight?
I’m glad that we met
Ain’t gonna wait ’til the day dejection comes
Ain’t gonna waste my time with the pitiful ones

You know that I’m kind
That I like to pretend
That everything’s fine
The rain is my friend

Don’t give a damn about fame
if I gotta have a gun
Ain’t gonna like myself
before I get something done here

You never mind the things they might have said
We’re living in the city of the dead

I want to believe
I proceed with my choice
It’s getting harder to breath
I’m losing my voice

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I go liquid when you come around
And I know
I go solid but don’t get me wrong
Yes I go

I love to watch you when you mess around
With my mind
I’m pathetic but only this time
But who knows?

And I say
It’s no more a secret
Go solid, I go liquid
Oh me
If it’s the love that we live for
How come I didn’t know?
Show me an easy way out
Show me an easy way out

Forget the love and get back in the line
With yourself
Try to accept the place where you belong
You belong

Stay in touch if you’re planning to go

I’m gonna do things I wanna do
I’m gonna say things I wanna say

That I’m not coming back to you

I’ll show you how to do
Something wicked if you don’t have anything to do

And know that we should keep going on
Cause we ain’t got no time to polish your nails
No time to put more make up on

Turn around you will find me to guide you
Everywhere that you go
Turn around you will find me behind you
Oh, yes I ain’t going anywhere you know

I refuse to believe you

So you don’t wanna make anyone feel
sorry for the girl who survives in the world
This time is not the same thing
Cause we’re not gonna leave the
room before you talk

Just open your mouth
And let the words come out
Say goodbye to the devils inside you
I got myself to this mess cause I love you
Ain’t gonna give it up cause I love you so

Did you have a bad day yesterday, OK
You never complain and you never say no
Never say yes, yes, yo
You stand the pain like a man
And see what’s inside you
Just like me every move that you make

Nothing is my problem see

I don’t have to get a job
I don’t have to train my skills, right?

Crawling on
Never looking back
Won’t loose your smile

knife in your back

What can you do
When your world is turning into black?

Grab my hand
Follow me though I’m sinking
Into a sea
Where the fish don’t ever sleep
I solved my case by the way
I’ve been thinking

My mind is resting in the blue
My mind is resting in the sea

I’ll pick you up and I’ll get you down
To the town
If you have any spare time
Relax today
Nothing’s ruling you
I’ll take you out
It’s the least I can do

I’ll let you know why I haven’t
seen you every day
I’ve been busy with the band
If you know what that means

I heard you’re talking things about me
Building barricades around me
So real friendship
Wasn’t real at all it seems

And if it’s so
That you’re talking shit behind my back
I’ll let you know
I can fight back in the cruellest way
So I’m asking for peace

That it would be summertime
I’d be fine

Any other time I’m fine in the morning
I can hear the winter’s crawling
I wish another time
That it would be summertime
I can see that leaves are falling, yeah

You’re twisted by nature
And that’s the reason I hate ya
I’m gone
I can’t stay another day
Roll my mind
Hold my hands up in the air

Shed a tear when you want me to stop

So many times you have made people cry
So many lies why I’m asking
I’m the one
Who will say
Hey get out of my way
Because you’re twisted
Oh yes, you are

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Yeah the answer’s always Mick
My favourite band is have a gig
What could be better idea
Than to go to the club

Listen to me boy
You have to be 18 to get inside
And there will be no talk

Damn that I wanna see this band
I’ll be good, you understand
This is a moment of my life that
I can’t let go

I can’t hide my wide smile
When I think of his words

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Would you please
Would you please help Mr. Jailer

And soon

Don’t know how to sleep at night, yeah
You say it’s alright
But it’s not
No, no, no, no
You know I’m a little bit scared, yo

Well it’s a fact
Well it’s a real fact that
Just about every guy in
this prison hates me

Come on
Give me the keys
Set me free
Set me free
You know me
You know me, haa

You don’t have to be sorry
You just listen to my story
I would never hurt ya
I would never touch ya
with my finger
I will leave your family alone
I will never pull your dog’s tail
I will never come back

Are you never gonna feel like me?
I’m not fine
Are you never gonna feel like me?
I’m not fine

Imagine yourself in this sell
In this situation
You don’t care
You don’t see things
How to react if you were me?
Would you like to be free
Hey you have got a key to the
lock of my door

Together
We can make things better
If you wanna do something good
Let me go back to the hood
With my men
Oh god that I miss them
I’ll get back to the picture
See my homies again
I’ll be good by my nature
Please, Mr. Jailer
Mr. Failure
Whatever, aaa

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Yes, yes, yes
Thing’s gonna be fine
When the sky is my cover
A big yellow ball
The sun is my lover
I take my skateboard
And my good feeling with me
I’m heading to a place where
I can get the sun on my face

I’m leaving my house and my mouse
And all my stuff
Cause I’ve had enough, yeah
I just wanna be close to the sun
And that’s all folks
I wanna burn my skin in the heat
I wanna be barefooted
My throat feels dry and
I cannot speak
No matter how much I try

Of this moment I’m learning that
I’d better stay cool to avoid the burning

Kola with ice would be nice
Come and get it
Kola with ice would be nice
Come and get it

Kola
It’s a fact that I need it

Well, well, well
It’s hot like a hell, yo
I kick off my shoes, yeah
I’ll survive without my shoes
Back to the fact
I am not turning back
Yeah, I’m looking for a kola

I’ll open up the can, can
Gotta drink it down, down
I’m in the middle of the desert now
Go to the shop
Said a boy take a left from the corner
I’m gonna make a list
What I’m gonna order

How can I get to the shop in this heat
When the street under my feet is burning?

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I can never be
the same that I was yesterday
I’m loosing my mind
I’m loosing control

I’m trickled me so much that
I can never be ok
I think I can’t be
with a serious face no more

Oh can’t you see that this can’t go on
I’m loosing my calmness
I go crazy
Oh can’t you see that tickling is
killing me
I’m losing my calmness
My calmness, yeah

No one can’t take me now
In the way they used to take
I’m loosing my mind
I’m loosing my reputation

You trickled me so much that
I can never be ok
I must go on
In despite of my destination

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I think you better run
Cause they’re coming at ya
And what the fuck you’re gonna do
when they get ya

You can choose life in the bodybag
I think you better hide

Few little words
Wrong cap in your head
Can make you dead
If you’re dealing with
the real thing
Few little words
Wrong cap in your head

I think that you better ran
Yes
I think you better hide

Yeah
the world is the number one
place in the world of mine
Mic is free I’m striking back again
with all my anger
With all my force, yo
You cannot walk in the street
Peace with your money in your pocket
Alleycats, oh yeah
They’re gonna knock you out
If you won’t rechoose your places
Better know the faces
Know where your place is at
Could down think you better run
Yes I think you better hide

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

It’s like a freedom
Making some people jealous
It’s like a rope between you
And your fellows
It’s like a web you’re stucked

How could it be so that
Some people don’t always know
how they feel?

When you can talk to somebody
who you can trust
When you can lie to that
somebody when you must

It’s like health
Respect
Because you still got one
It is the way that I feel
I’m not the only one

Skriven av Ray Parker Jr.

If there’s something weird
in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
(Tell me)
Ghostbusters

If it’s something strange
And it don’t look good
Who you gonna call?

Seeing things
Running through your head
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters

Invisible man
Sleeping in your bed
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters

I ain’t afraid of no ghost

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters
I think you better call
Ghostbusters

Now we’re gonna talk about the postman
Who brings the paper in the morning
who wakes up at the night to make
his job right
With his bike driving all
around the city delivers papers

Oh, isn’t that pretty
Seven o’ clock paper every
Every morning
Again and again
I think it would be just boring
About the weather cares
he never ever damn

Like a sunny weather coming by the time
Is dirty water shall be warmer
than another local people
And attraction will be generally
empty to the mention
Between buildings turning slow

Now we’re gonna talk about the Batman
Who lives in a cave with the Robin
Who wakes up at the night to make
his job right
With his fellow little Robin
in the city catches robbers

Oh, isn’t that pretty
Number one of the enemies is Joker
Who’s in the jail with his friends
playing poker
About men cares
he never ever damn

Say hi
Say hello to the Batman

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I’m feeling restless
But I don’t know why
Feels like time is standing still
So many people and I’m feeling shy
I would with pleasure pass away
No one can complain

I don’t care it is a Saturday
I’ll spend rest of day at home
Won’t go home and spoil another day
This is my chance to be not me

I gotta feeling that I’m breaking
And my hands are shaking
My heart is bumping
And I’m trying to relax or something

I feel like stone
When someone talks to me
Can’t get a word out of my mouth
It is a bad habbit
It will allways be
I would with pleasure pass away

Slipping in corners
Like I’d made something
Which has make me feel so small
I know I haven’t got that dignity
This is my chance to be not me

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Talking about life
What it was and what it’s gonna be

Get ready for the best time
He’s a friend of mine
born in the ’79
And there will be a day
when he hears me when I say
Hey, you better
be thinking ’bout your future
There will be a day
when he hears me when I say

You’re spoiling your life
You won’t have another
You ain’t thinking ’bout your friends
Do you hear me brother?
I have just one thing to say to you

Shame, shame
You can’t fool me
Let me show that the whole thing sucks
Shame, shame
You can’t rule me
I’m saying no to the drugs

Living is hard
Sure I know
But yet if you listen to my rule number one
I bet positive attitude
will carry you through your life
Think it true before you
take your first high

One day you are a winner
Next day you’re a loser
Don’t spoil your
chances by being a user
I have just one thing to say to you

You can’t fool me
You can’t rule me

I’m the king of the new generation

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

My big sister is the best of
all the sisters in the world
She says enjoying of the life
is the main thing
I agree with her
She’s standing by me when
I’ve got hard times
I like about her presence

Even if I fight with her sometimes
It’s pretty easy to make friends

I’m sorry about all
I make an apology
I make an apology
I confess it
I was wrong
I confess it
I was wrong
You have your reasons to be angry to me
But if you won’t be
I’m asking you to be my friend

My big sister is the foolest
Dummest girl I’ve ever seen
She is so selfish
Irritating
Don’t you see what I mean?
She is a target of my hate
And hate is growing every day

I will get rid of her
And price won’t matter
I will find the way

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

It all started up when
I was fighting with a cop
At least I could stop
I guess I couldn’t stop
Hey, I’m in the voice now
And you have only one choice
I will make you choose
My, my, my, my story

No, I’m not fading
Not even hesitating
Still I’m gonna stay
If you would say
That this is law
And you better obay me
I’m gonna teach you

Shut up
Or else
I’m gonna spit you to the face Shut up
Or else
I’m gonna treat you like a cop
Kick you to the head
Until you are dead
My dick says ”swing”
When you hit me
with that black thing
Go

Making love is a waste of time

Let me make you
see this case from my side
We ain’t here for any trouble
Can you break a bubble
Bam, bam, zidili
You were so dumb that
You wouldn’t go with the flow
Home, when I told
Let me make you to be
welcome world where is not bad
There is no thing called cop
Who don’t give a fuck about
Nothing else but his own fucking duties

That thing just took me down

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Why do you watch me?
Am I ugly?
Am I slimy?

And when you touch me
is there something missing?
Am I slimy?

And one day princess will kiss me
And one day I will be man
And one day princess will kiss me
And one day I won’t be a frog anymore

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

So hard to get that dog is dead
And lying feet to the roof on my friends bed
We called an ambulance without any reason
And told the man it was…
Yeah!

Funky time

It was the best thing on
that boring Saturday
While we made plans what
We’re gonna do that day
My friends dog little Muffy
got a heart attack
It was real but
We both just laughed at that

It took some time to get
that dog was dead
And lying feet to the roof on my friends bed
We called an ambulance without any reason
And told the man it was dog hunting season

The man screamed
I guess he felt some pain in chest
He left up but I think that was best
And allthought we got two bodies in the house
These guys are ready to get of the most guys
We left the house and the dog and the New York
And left back just
Bad, bad, bad talk
Like I told we took off those two guys

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

You gotta be fine
If you one day wanna be mine
And give me satisfaction twice a day
Three, four, more, five
You better
Better have a body
Which makes me sure
I’m not gay

You gotta give me all
Love me more
Knock every day at my door

If you want me you gotta please me
If you want me you gotta…
Hey, I want you to adore me
Again and again
When I feel allright
Yeah
Outflow

You gotta be hot
Something like you’re not
Beg me under my window twice a day
Three, four, more, five
You better
Better have a body
which makes me sure
I’m not gay

You gotta give me all
Love me more
Stop

Is it too much to ask?

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

I have always been different
I like to be
But every time
they got something to say to me
One day I had to be
I made a different me
But got trouble next day
I went to school, you see

Two big fellows
Which don’t much about like in me
Put me into the games where
I don’t wanna be
In other words
no one don’t like me there
Sometimes I really care

I can’t be myself
I can’t be myself

Then one day
I didn’t meet the chosen one
I took a gun
Party’s just begun
Inside of me
there still lives a part of me
It put me back to the Earth
Where I belong to be

I get along well with this
feeling in my mind
If I should say something
I would say nothing
Cause I’ll
kiss my only friend what I’ve got
Ever had
But still I can’t…

I’m gonna the way I wanna be
Nobody wanna talk with me
No
I’m gonna the way I wanna be

Do I have to be
Or let my feelings free?
Take a look at me
The way I wanna be
I made decisions, right
My feelings came from inside
I took a drug ride
I felt part of me died

My life turned from that good
to that very bad
There were only me
My pipe and those drugs I had
One day I just will be
I’m gonna be real me
I think I cannot be…

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

It is preventing tomorrow
It’s so though
It is fanning horror,
It’s so rough
It’s not a pacifist
It’s not a pacifist

It’s not complaining or praising
It’s not fair
It is pretending to mind
It doesn’t care
It’s not a pacifist
It’s not a pacifist
Would you be?

It’s taking your time
It doesn’t matter what you feel
It’s harder than steel
One day we’ll find a reason why

It is aware of your thoughts
You think in vain
It will start up a riot ‘n’
release the pain
It’s not a remedy,
It’s not a remedy

You will follow the orders
of your king
You will bury the answer
of this thing
It’s not a remedy,
It’s not a remedy
Would you be?

I’m not sorry
I will find the way

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

If I could be the king of this planet
I would order some more
Making rules is not the
easiest part of it
That’s a thing that I know

Can see the mess
Which has cost so much trouble
Then I guess that it’s
Poison which bubbles
I’ll say it loud
That I’m not proud
About the kind of situation

Asking help from assholes with power
Is one way to betray
See trashes double in hour
Scaring, I would say

Human race will be judged by the devil
That’s the last thing I want
To face the destiny
And choke in this reef
Be crushed, you’re so weak

Keep laughing to the end of my world
I know I’m feeling so small
Don’t shame it at all
With pleasure I tell you my friend

Keep laughing to the end of my world
But it’s here and it’s now
I’m gonna tell you somehow
Then I won’t say even a word

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Janne Heiskanen

Et oo koskaan sanonu mulle rakas
Et oo koskaan sanonu että sä välität
Sä tiedät että mä tykkään susta
Ja että ihan millon vaan sä luokseni tulla saat

Mä luulin löytäneeni oman mussukkain
Sulle korvaan kuiskaisin
Hei Rakkainpain
Sä sanoit mulle
Hei Pauri ystäväin
Katsoit silmiin ja näytit näin

En oo koskaan sanonu sulle pahasti
En oo koskaa oikeen edes Riidellytkään
Mä haluisin olla sulle enemmän
Tiedäthän että (mä) sinusta välitän

Mä luulin löytäneeni…

Tänä iltana on fiilis erilainen
Ufot ovat laskeutuneet tellukselle

Pihalla on jengiä aivan pipona
Mut ne ei ymmärrä mitään ufojen päälle
Ne ampuvat meitä sädepyssyillään
Ja pyrkivät meitä lähemmäksi

Ufot on meidän kavereita
Monta kertaa
Ufot on meidän kavereita
Ne tahtovat meidät vangeikseen
Ufot on meidän kavereita
Ne tahtovat meidät planeetalleen
Ufot on meidän kavereita
Ne tahtovat tehdä meistä muussiaa

On hyvä tietää että minullakin on kaveri kuussa

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Die in the laughter
But you know the answer
Who will be the one
To finally stand up
And take a chance
Cause life has just begun

And I don’t need the TV
I don’t need a shotgun
I don’t have to run
I can reach you

I follow the feeling
I swallow the meaning
I don’t have to run
If I need you
I can reach you
I will do what I feel like
Can’t stop me now
I will do what I feel like
Can’t stop me now
I will do what I feel like

I don’t need to rule ya
I don’t have to fool ya
Got nothing to prove
I can reach you from here

Won’t swallow the shotgun
To show you the meaning
Don’t want to deal with the
feelings of fear

High on my throne
The only one
I’ll be alone
And from now on…

Skriven av Björk, D. Arnold, J. Wobble

Darling
Stop confusing me
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
Don’t you understand?

I have to go through this
I belong to here where
No one cares and no one loves
No light no air to live in
A place called hate
The city of fear

I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
And the hurting stops

It’s sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
caress every ache

Skriven av Kingston Wall

It seems that there is something
Something I should know
But I don’t want to ask you
Ask you what i’m supposed to do

You say that I don’t treat you
That way I used to do before
That I am only running away
Every time when you want me to stay

I wanna love you
Like the sailor loves the sea
I really want to but please let me be
And I got so much things on my mind
And you know that I can’t waste any time

I wanna make you feel something
that you used to feel before

I know we’ve got our problems
But fighting don’t make any sense
And I don’t think that I’m so bad
That you should be so, so sad

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I knew that you would come
I know you
Welcome to my kingdom
Some days are
cold like ice in here

Don’t have to sleep at night
You don’t have to
You don’t have to close your eyes
Cause some days are
dark like the nights in here

I get this feeling
I get this feeling every time
I don’t know
I don’t know what to do
Where to go
Make it right
Can you stay for the night?
Days in a maze
Full of flames
what to do? Where to go?
I don’t know
when the clouds fill the sky

Keep staring at the sea
Keep staring
There’s so much misery
For the tidal waves to wash away

It’s something deeper
It’s something to defence
So let’s pretend that
the end is not coming yet
Time is not running
Get into the shadows
And we can be friends
Now and forever

I get this feeling
I get this feeling every time

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Disasters strikes
I try to write
Describe the things I hold inside
Private of mind still keeps me distant

Disorder loombs above this room
I’m trapped inside this silent tomb
I’m trying to get my mind off resitance

What ever I say
What ever I write
What ever I do
I’m not getting through
I’m not getting through to you

Distuction’s all surrounds my hope
My future seems to stay unknown
All alone in need of some asistance

Oh, here comes the fear again
Walls are closing in
Feels like I’m chocking
Oh, can’t find the words to say
Drowning in thís pain
Smoke fills the air

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

I close my eyes
Lay down and sleep away
There’s no return
It’s my mistake
There’s no use in crying
It’s time to learn

If you ever need someone
Sorry ’bout the things I’ve done
My life goes in reverse
If you ever change your mind
when the rainy days are gone
And the balance returns

All alone
This time I walk away
It feels so cold
But I know it’s something I deserve
I deserve to be mislead
Breaking up with family
I know it’s my fault

It feels so cold
But I know it’s something I deserve
I deserve to be dead

Sorry ’bout the things I’ve done
Changes will come in the fall
Waiting for the storm,
my face against the wall
Hoping that you could forgive me
You could forgive me…

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Tired of being seen as a bird in a cage
Tired of being heard all I did last week
Obviously you want to be me
Cause everytime when I fall
you’re the first to reveal me

Live for yourself instead
Do me a favour
Feed your empty head
You drive me close to the edge

Everything you say
you say to annoy me
Watching every move I make
whenever I’m around
Everything you do
you do it to destroy me
Waiting for the darkest hour
to put me down

Time is gradual
The surface is all you can see
And if I told you the truth
you will not understand me

Feed your empty head
Do me a favour
Live for yourself instead
You drive me close to the edge

You drive me close to the edge
You drive me close to the edge

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Since you’ve been gone I’ve been alone
Feeling untied and free
No more crying on the phone
No more slavery

End of the misery
I’m breaking free
Since you’ve been gone things have come
so clear to me
Just wanna shout
Cause I’m able to breath
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been free

Since we crashed and fell apart
We’ve been history
Since we trashed this dying love
No more agony

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Fate lies ahead
Like the Sun will rise
The light has been gone
far too long
From your eyes

But you never changed
Never played your part
You have erased all the fear from your heart
And tried to forget

The light in your eyes keeps fading out
The night’s falling deeper in the heart
Hiding the truth and crashing down
My baby’s a dancer in the dark

You’ve seen it all
You don’t mind going blind
You’ve seen it all
All the wonders of life
Run to your boy
Don’t conceal your scars
Run to your boy
Let him feel your love
Before it’s too late
Your sight in dying
But you keep on trying to save your boy
You keep on lying but your false illusions will be destroyed
You heard it calling
But you turned your face never played your part
You heard it singing
But you danced away like a falling star

Dancer in the dark
Dancer in the dark

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

Fear is like a tree
That grows inside of me silently
And you could be my blood
And be a part of me secretly

I’ve lost a war
I’ve lost a fight
I’ve killed a man
Wasted a life

Open my eyes, let me see you
And blow this blinding darkness away
Open my eyes, let me find you
Give me a sign

Hate is like a ghost
That lives inside of me, I plead
For you to be my guide
To be the feeder of my need

Take my word and fold me in
Free the soul behind the sin
The endless dark will be the death of my senses

Take my heart and hold it in
Kill the beast under my skin
The endless dark will be the death of my senses

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Aki Hakala

The storm is rising
from the ashes
Like the cruellest
Flames of fury
Like a crystal
This love crashes
Against the concrete
Shaking you and me

Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
We could have gone so far
Gone so high
You pulled my trigger
Gone so high
You pulled my trigger

My clip is empty
No ammunition
Used all my
weapons on you
Like a soldier
who failed the mission
In my condition
The message won’t get through

I saw it coming
I saw it rising
It blocked my view
And poisoned you
Don’t pretend
Comprehend
Baby, I’m tired of facing the end

Skriven av Lauri Ylönen, Pauli Rantasalmi, Desmond Child

You’ve always been a part of me
And now you’re a stranger
You promised you were meant to be
Mine till the end
We both signed our names in the circle
And kissed by the sea

You have trouble with the truth
You’re lost beyond control
‘Cause yesterday you threw away tomorrow
You, you double crossed my heart
You crucified my soul
‘Cause yesterday you threw away tomorrow

You know that I could never be
Someone who hurt you
Maybe thats a flaw in me
I’ve been too kind
Now I hear your new love makes you suffer
You must live for the pain

As I stand all alone by the ocean
With the sand and no fear
Let the waves wash away my emotions
As I’m setting you free
Yesterday was the start of the future
Now tomorrow is gone
And our story is finally over
It’s time to move on

Yesterday you threw away tomorrow
