Poison me, poison you Poison me It's the only state I want to be in when I am awake Poison me, poison you Poison me It's the only state I want to be in when I'm full of hate It's the only way I want to see the world It's the only way I want to be on earth It's the only way how I can feel my worth It's the only state I want to be in, so Poison me Poison me, poison you Poison me It's the only state I want to be in when I go to sleep Poison me, poison you Poison me It's the only state I want to be in when everyone leaves So pass me a can and some cigarettes I wish these were decisions I would regret But it's the only way I can bring the night through my head And it's the only state I want to be in, so Poison me So pass me a can and some cigarettes I wish these were decisions I would regret But it's the only way I can bring the night through my head And it's the only state I want to be in, so Poison me

I thought of us as devils and angels And I thought of us as the start and the end And I thought of us standing in the streets Being told we're just kids I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo Lost between the lines, saving my soul I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo All my desperate hopes, yeah I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo Lost between the lines, saving my soul I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo All my desperate hopes, yeah, yeah, yeah I thought of us as nightly creatures An h bomb seconds to blow up And I thought of us as a momentary Anomaly in time I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo Lost between the lines, saving my soul I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo All my desperate hopes, yeah I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo Lost between the lines, saving my soul I thought you'd be my Charlotte in Tokyo All my desperate hopes, yeah, yeah, yeah

space song 01:47
My head is a different space around people My mind's not fully shaped when I'm with you Let it be love My day has a different pace in the city My feet aren't touching the same old ground anymore Let it be freedom My room is a different place in the night time My mind is turning into a fluid entity Let it be joy Won't you stay in my arms, dear night I keep pushing it too far, 'til I'm alright My head is a different space around people My mind's not fully shaped when I'm with you Let it be love

Close the door and shut your dreams away In your mind there is so much left to say, but You gotta mute it and bury it today, so Close the door and shut your dreams away And you always imagine all of the scenes you might have missed And you always notice that you choose safety over risk And you always get the feeling that everything you do is wrong That's why I say Close the door and shut your dreams away In your mind there is so much left to say, but You gotta mute it and bury it today, so Close the door and shut your dreams away Close the door and shut your dreams away And you always remember all of the things you should have said And you always imagine all of the people you could have met And in your mind you notice that you think more than you do That's why I say Close the door and shut your dreams away In your mind there is so much left to say, but You gotta mute it and bury it today, so Close the door and shut your dreams away

The guilt within the faces that I see Silence seems to kill identity I light my last cigarette in peace I hope that there are nightclubs in heaven Opening their gates at eleven I hope that there are nightclubs in heaven 'Cause I just can't bear What is happening down here Loneliness these days just seems to be The most-desired social quality I hope I'll die before I'm completely free And I hope that there are nightclubs in heaven Opening their gates at eleven I hope that there are nightclubs in heaven 'Cause I just can't bear What is happening down here

Left behind, waiting for another day What's been kind slowly faded away I can't seem to find myself tonight And so I fall in tomorrow's arms All I know, every word and every face Bores me so, TV shows and frozen steaks I can't seem to find the truth tonight And so I fall in tomorrow's arms I can't seem to find the truth tonight And so I fall in tomorrow's arms Tomorrow comes just as all the years before And I'll be gone when sunlight touches the floor I can't seem to find myself tonight And so I fall in tomorrow's arms And so I fall in tomorrow's arms

Seeing her would be the end for my love And so I don't Meeting her would mean the end for my love And so I don't Now look at her She's in my dreams This night again Now look at me And suddenly We're holding hands And I don't know what it means Seeing her would be the end for my love And so I don't Meeting her would mean the end for my love And so I don't

Seems like it's morning on the edge of the world Feels like I'm falling, all I've got is my shirt I hear you calling, nothing new that I've heard And it's always gonna be okay Oh, it's always gonna be okay Oh, it's always gonna be okay Oh, it's always gonna be alright Seems like it's morning on the edge of the world Feels like I'm falling, all I've got is my shirt I hear you calling, nothing new that I've heard And it's always gonna be okay Oh, it's always gonna be okay Oh, it's always gonna be okay Oh, it's always gonna be alright

this morning 02:47
This morning all my tears were gone I kissed the sky and I hugged the sun This morning helped me to survive This is the first day of my life This morning ended all my doubts Breathing in and breathing out This morning glued my body parts This morning healed my ordinary heart All my intentions suddenly came back to life I realized I gotta try and try This morning my pain was washed away Like the clouds on a sunny day This morning gave me back my hope This morning showed me which way I should go This morning has shone a little light This is the end of a sleepless night This morning ended all extremes This morning brought back all of my dreams All my intentions suddenly came back to life I realized I gotta try and try This morning all my tears were gone I kissed the sky and I hugged the sun This morning helped me to survive This is the first day of my life This morning This morning This morning (oh) This morning (oh) This morning (oh) This morning (oh)

Tonight something burnt a hole in my heart Tonight a new idea seems to rip me apart Tonight I need something sweet as love When I finally fall asleep tonight Tonight no one owes me anything anymore Tonight the silence is the same as all the years before Tonight I need something sweet as coke When I finally fall asleep tonight

Elliot wants love, wants warmth From all the girls uptown He cries all night 'cause no one comes around He's rich, he's thin, why won't they talk to him? Why won't you come over here to me? Why won't you come over here and speak? Why won't you come over here and see my worth? Elliot is quiet, he's shy Got no love for a while He won't just talk to a pretty girl he likes He does not get why they like the other guys Why won't you come over here to fuck? Why won't you come over here, my love? Why won't you come over here and do the first step? Elliot wants love, wants warmth Hates his celibacy Hasn't he a right on sex? Isn't that his country's liberty? So he buys a gun to shoot every happy one Why won't you come over here to be What I want and what I need? Why won't you come over here and be my sexy blonde girlfriend?

You act as if you're guilty You're not more than flesh and bones You're just too afraid to love You keep yourself at home You're a parasite on your own Your life is like a fever You've said it all before, yeah You're a prophet of self-fulfillment But you're not religious anymore You keep yourself outside the door There comes no moral after pain Only the damage left in your brain There comes no moral after pain Only the damage left in your brain No enlightenment you will gain Your self-hate has no limit Since you're sober all again, yeah You've found a new addiction You've found a new possible end You haven't found a friend There comes no moral after pain Only the damage left in your brain There comes no moral after pain Only the damage left in your brain No enlightenment you will gain What you feel is only shame
