To die, to sleep— No more—and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep— To sleep—perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub! For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause—there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life.

Your love is a lion Lyin’ waiting To devour me in the darkness And I’m waiting And I’m willing To be taken alive right now and Please don’t stop Don’t say you’ve been making all of this up Oh speak your mind Have you been fooling me all of this time Don’t set me free Don’t leave me Don’t leave me It’s you and me I come alive when I’m with you Stay with me Believe me Believe me We’re meant to be And in the quiet I miss you Our love, it is violent Like a riot But I’ll fight for it til my last breath And I’m patiently Waiting For a sign that you feel the same way Don’t give up I would’ve given you all of my love Don’t speak your mind Have I been blind to it all of this time

Take my hand And come a walk with me We’ve got a lot of things to say It doesn’t matter anyway Cos we’re falling apart From the way that we used to be When we only had to talk for free Still strangers to the misery This is the end not the start We haven’t been winning Since the beginning We’re on a hiding to nothing We haven't been winning Since the beginning We're always fighting Disintegration Why don't you like the way I move Why don't you like the things I do for you Commisserations You could've had the best of me We could've been just you and me ahhh Disintegration Change of plan You’re walking out on me You said there’s nothing left to say It doesn’t matter anyway Cos your tore out my heart And the love that you took away Will never ever see the light of day Your motives are a mystery Can we go back to the start
5.
I’m never alone Cos like second hand smoke I subconsciously breathe in you When I’m on my own I struggle to cope I’m barely believing When you’re not there I’m starving for air Subconsciously struggling Trying not to choke On second hand smoke My dearly beloved I could never be all that you need I could never be the air the you breathe
6.
I awake, I’m cold I can’t feel you near So I run downstairs And the house is empty I can faintly smell That perfume you wear And I pinch myself And it hurts like anything And I can’t recall what What brought this on But one thing I know for sure is I just don’t understand What happened between last night and now I cant even remember The last time we had a row All I remember You’re with me forever And it hurts like anything

Wonderkid 03:42
He hears voices at night He hears voices in daytime He sees visions in dreams Of what his life could've been He knows that he can't have it all But he's gonna try He knows he can't have it now So he'll say goodbye How could he ever know How was he supposed to know He's making the biggest mistake Our wonderkid When there's no room at the window seat He considers this an embarrassing defeat When the waitress won't even look his way He just tucks his tail and then stews in his own dismay These are lessons that have got to be learned Because his past relationships have been spurned And if there's a bridge left that hasn't been burned He can tear through 'BELIEVE' and then find his reprieve
