The night is unfolding 
And I feel you breathing next to me 
A face in the darkness 
As I dance in the temple of the living dead 
You started a fire 
And the blood is rising in my veins 

You started a fire 
Isolation 
Can you hear the sound of my desperate cry? 

You were my sanctuary 
The price I paid for a lonely heart 
You were my sanctuary 
The night is gonna tear us apart 

The face on the street 
Closing my eyes 
A gentle touch 
A desperate hand 
Remove the blade from my soul 
Steal this kiss before it's gone away 

You started a fire 
Isolation 
Steal this kiss before it's gone away

Words are falling out of place 
Tears have been shed 
The years you held so quickly gone 
Alive in my head 
If we could only reach the sky 
But we stand here now 
Waiting on the edge of time 
in this crowded room 

The emotion fails me 
A parting glance 
Just a second out of view 
My only chance 
A face I hardly knew 
When it was mine 
Within the looking glass 
Another time 

Youth is calling back to me 
Whenever I'm alone 
Yesterday unraveling in a quiet song 
We could even touch the sky as we did before 
From the edge of time 
A secret dream 

This desperation is growing inside 
I know I cant help what I've heard 
There's sign over my grave 
Never understand a word 

It could be you 
Up against the wall 
Know you're not unbreakable
Say goodbye tomorrow 

These are the chains holding me back 
The sound is ringing from satellites 
It's just a pressure in my heart 
Sleeping on unknown floors 
No time to reconcile 
Going to have to follow you down 

Follow you down 

It just keeps on happening 

It could be you 
Up against the wall 
Know you're not unbreakable 
Say goodbye tomorrow

On the other side of the carousel 
A clock is sketching minutes from the wall 
Ghosts of a distant memory 
A vision of what used to be 
Somewhere a heart beats faster 
At the sound of telephone 

Lost innocence - sold on the streets today 
Lost innocence - a dream was so far away 
Lost innocence - a price that you had to pay 
Lost innocence - how could you be lead astray? 

On another side of the city lights 
A brave new world rises as you fall 
Remembered or just make believe? 
A message of what used to be 
Somewhere you least expected 
"Goodbye to everything I own"

Lost innocence - sold on the streets today 
Lost innocence - a dream was so far away 
Lost innocence - a price that you had to pay 
Lost innocence - how could you be lead astray? 

The city street's like an exhibition 
I held your picture in my hand 
A lifetime in your eyes 
Remember how you wanted me 
The hidden scars you'll never see 
And the sound of us breathing 

This is our hiding place 
Another warm embrace 
When will they ever learn? 

It's like a vision in the hands of fate 
Religion on the monitor 
A word that breaks my soul 
No one left to rescue me 
Just unfinished melodies 
We're on the silver screen 

Even the greatest stars 
Are alone in the looking glass 
Are alone tonight 

This is the hallway of seduction 
This is the hunger never satisfied 
Inexistence no protection 
You are caught in the headlights 

Overdosed on appetite 
Ravenous at midnight 

Lock the door behind you 

Hypnotized 
Nothing sacred here tonight 
Hypnotized 
Blind until the morning light 

In the glaring neon twilight 
Til there is no place unknown 
Skin's voracious appetite 
Hunger deep into the bone 
Overdosed on appetite 
Lock the door behind you 

Beat me, bite me 
Feed me, spite me 
Bruised and bleeding 
Always needing

Taste the fear from the years before 
This could be dying 
Nailed to the floor 

Waiting round the corner of another night 
Bound and sacred hidden in the wall 

Renegade on the streets of tomorrow 
It's not too late 
I know somehow we'll find our escape 
Renegade on the streets of tomorrow 
It's not our fate 
I know somehow we'll find our escape 

Pushed me again 
Denied access 
A voice is calling from within 

Breaking down the speakers as you try to escape 
I'm hypnotized by another face 

Renegade 
On the streets of tomorrow 
We'll find our escape

On the wings of desire 
To your higher ground 
A face in the window 
Gone without a sound 

This tender reflection 
A moment of bliss 
Just one last kiss 

A love undefended 
A heart to give away 
Like the snow in December 
Or a month that's grey 

This tender reflection 
A moment of bliss 
Just one last kiss 

No more shoulder to cry on 
No more air to breathe 
Someone to rely on 
When you cannot speak 

When the lights are gone 
Just one last kiss

Another night it's like an explosion 
I feel my world come crashing down 
I'm barely alive lost my direction 
Try to breathe but I hear no sound 

Rise again to face the morning 
A safer place to call my own 
Nightmares from around the corner 
Go everywhere just to find my home 

Love is a dangerous game 
Love is a dangerous game 

Take me from these mindfields 
Tormenting my soul 
Can you tell me where I am? 

Love is a dangerous game 
Love is a dangerous game 

Convince yourself there is no other 
Falling down where you cannot hide 
Can you tell me when you've found another 
There's more to need than you can ever try

IMAGINARY LIFE 

I've seen it falling apart 
I've been a figure out of a time 
A face in the distance 
And the words that never rhyme 

Whenever I'm in a nightmare 
Or looking out the window 
There's a time I think it's a dream 
Nothing that I recognize 

Imaginary life 
Hanging on like a ghost 
Maybe I didn't exist 
But I know I've been here before 

Imaginary life 
Hanging on like a ghost 
Maybe I didn't exist 
But I'm still wanting more 

I thought I somehow escaped 
Not sure how to be alive 
Been to secret places 
Wandered on the streets at night 
The moon looked down on Paris 
Seen the people come and go 
In my mind it's still a dream 
Maybe you will never know
