A warm, crispy night at a quarter to two, You couldn't see me, but I could see you, I caught your eye under the scarlet hue, Shook your hand, and so it began. The blindfold is on behind the door, The red fuzzy handcuffs on the bathroom floor, The fire's on because you like it warm, Dare I say you like it my way? And you says you gotta remember this tomorrow? For all you know this is the best worst nightmare You've ever had. 'Cause everyone deserves a little bit of fantasy, darlin', So shh, lay back, enjoy the ride. The bubble bath is waiting across the room, Just give me your hand babe, we'll be there soon, I'm anticipating your every move, Dare I say you're playing my game? Your sapphire eyes burning close to mine, My nails eliciting chills up and down your spine, We sealed our lips with the finest wine and a pact: there's no turning back. And you says you gotta remember this tomorrow? For all you know this is the best worst nightmare You've ever had. 'Cause everyone deserves a little bit of fantasy, darlin', So shh, lay back, enjoy the ride.

It's so very cold in here. It's so very cold, I fear The worst is yet to come. I know because I've run so long, too far to tell the world: to live is just to fall. The ice does not belong beneath your feet. It's so very cold in here, The roads dangerously clear, And void of all the lights that blind the worries Pass from ear to ear and out the door, But hearts fall hard and muddy snow Just poisons all the perfect hate. When the world seems to harsh And the winds ain't very nice, Just be sure to hold the door, The door to paradise. When you know you're falling soon And you're trembling with fright, Never let go of that door, The door to paradise. It's so very cold in here, The ice freezing every tear that falls upon my face, Amongst this cruel world that eats me up And beats me down with my own stick. I don't think I can take even just one more day. When the world seems to harsh And the winds ain't very nice, Just be sure to hold the door, The door to paradise. When you know you're falling soon And you're trembling with fright, Never let go of that door, The door to paradise.

Chasing Fire 04:35
Chasing Fire for the fallen mockingbird, Victory calls her name. Heaven sends her condolences, As she flees the forest of thunder trees and pain. So send her home, Don't make her choose between a life of simple love, And the eyes she owes. Just send her home, Her heart is growing old, Are his measured breaths enough to fire the bow? Chasing Fire in a field of cruel tricks, Shed no tears to amuse. Hardened eyes seem to glow like demons in the tunneled wood, And she fears the bloodshed but there's nothing left to lose. Chasing Fire, though her flame is burning low, Calling forth with a kiss. Cannon sounds lighting up the faces of the weakest links, Should she feel so guilty for her feeling of relief? So send her home, Don't make her choose between a life of simple love, And the eyes she owes. Just send her home, Her heart is growing old, Are his measured breaths enough to call her own?

Take Me Back 07:09
Been longing for the moment when I'm falling and The breeze is rushing over, through my veins again, But the rooftop seems so far From off the ground again, I just want to feel my life winding down again. And you know your life is over when you're loving & Your wings are on the ground with broken glasses & It's soaking through the fibers to your mind again, I just want to feel you soar like shooting stars again. Take me back, hold me tight, I promise you, no more lies. Been wandering far and wide, Take me back, you know I'll try again. Remembering the time when we were lovers and Your body heat was soaking into mine again, I just want to feel your goosebumps On my skin again, 'Cause my life just ain't worth nothing Without you again. And I know I messed it up you know I'm sorry and It left a big old bruise right on my heart again, I've been searching for you each & every day again, So please take me back to when we both Were right again. Take me back, hold me tight, I promise you, no more lies. Been wandering far and wide, Take me back, you know I'll try again.

I woke up this morning, My heartache was pounding, I know that you're no longer here. My brothers and sisters are all counting on me, I don't want to shed one more tear. So let's stroll into the mangrove forest, And sink in it down to our knees, Let's stroll into the mangrove forest, And cradle our roots in the sea. No mother to hold me nor father to help me To forget my sorrows all day. No comforting hand to grasp me so tightly And wipe all my troubles away. So let's stroll into the mangrove forest, And sink in it down to our knees, Let's stroll into the mangrove forest, And cradle our roots in the sea. And I must be strong now, Though I still don't know how so soon They're in heaven above. My joy's disappeared but I must guarantee That what won't disappear is my love. So let's stroll into the mangrove forest, And sink in it down to our knees, Let's stroll into the mangrove forest, And cradle our roots in the sea.
