Be True 02:33
Slow down, take care of yourself Be honest, be true to me You’re on a fast track to Becoming ancient history It’s not like me to forgive and forget But I cave in So smile when you are ready Happy New Year baby Let’s do it all again You’ve lived a lot, but not learned Pay attention, be true to me A melancholy cabaret You sing and dance your way into the street So tell some dirty jokes And smoke your cigarettes You say you want to change But I ain’t seen it yet It’s not like me to forgive and forget But I cave in So smile when you are ready Happy New Year baby Let’s do it all again Slow down, take care of yourself Be honest, be true to me Be honest, be true to me Be honest, be true to me

I want to be an angel I want to be like you I want the world as my plaything I want my dream to come true I want to be an angel Not just some kid on the street Wondering when I’ll ever get mine When it’s floating right above me You’re all I see, you’re all I do And I can’t escape And I don’t know if I want to be saved Hover above, it’s always you If I died today You’d always be standing over my grave And you look over my shoulder Nobody knows you are there Only I can feel you watching Your eyes follow me everywhere And you make me feel amazing You make me feel brand new You make me feel something more than human And I wish I could be you (chorus) Sitting on your little cloud You talk to me but not out loud Still I know like a halo you will cover me Tell me it’s alright I close my eyes, you say goodnight But then I lie awake and pray that you won’t leave (chorus) You’d always be standing over Lucky like a four-leaf clover You are my umbrella when it rains And you’ll always be standing over my grave

They’re passing ’round pieces of the birthday girl Singing water or wine and pass the ice cream Knowing they can pass the blame off on someone else If all else fails I’m picking up pieces of the lives I left behind Mixing vodka and wine to quench my appetite for self-destruction Trying to pull away I raise my sails Into the sun I go I let the wind carry me on And I feel a cool breeze blow It reminds me of her Reminds me of her We’re older now, looking at the lives we left behind Drinking water or wine and trading memories Of our resurrections Sometimes you gotta see the worst to know what’s best Into the sun I go I let the wind carry me on And I feel a cool breeze blow It reminds me of her Reminds me of her

Masterpiece 03:20
I’ve noticed a change in your gaze It’s telling me Whatever it is has been on your mind for days And I’m sure I know That you’re bubbling up from below And about to explode Confused and alone and ostracized For telling me I think it’s OK that we live our own lives And when I’m on the phone You start to cry Like you want me right back by your side Like we both never lied Why? From the eyes of a man who has been a little cruel Your courageous display is making you look like such a fool The future is ours to make The canvas is blank So you choose your favorite shade of nothing And you start to paint And all the buildings burned down All the rivers run dry And there are holes in the earth There are holes in the sky Don’t look to me and ask why This picture has you terrified Why? ’Cause this is your masterpiece, aren’t you proud? This is your masterpiece, aren’t you proud? This is your masterpiece, say it out loud I’m alone and I’m proud

Art of Dying 04:11

I want to be an angel I want to be like you I want the world as my plaything I want my dream to come true I want to be an angel Not just some kid on the street Wondering when I’ll ever get mine When it’s floating right above me You’re all I see, you’re all I do And I can’t escape And I don’t know if I want to be saved Hover above, it’s always you If I died today You’d always be standing over my grave And you look over my shoulder Nobody knows you are there Only I can feel you watching Your eyes follow me everywhere And you make me feel amazing You make me feel brand new You make me feel something more than human And I wish I could be you (chorus) Sitting on your little cloud You talk to me but not out loud Still I know like a halo you will cover me Tell me it’s alright I close my eyes, you say goodnight But then I lie awake and pray that you won’t leave (chorus) You’d always be standing over Lucky like a four-leaf clover You are my umbrella when it rains And you’ll always be standing over my grave
