Requiem for a White Rose Pt. 1

Tonight it's raining
And you've got your hood up
To hide your face
From the shadows passing
Who see the beauty
Not the beast
That you think you've become.
As painted skin
Begins to run
You turn around to go back home
Where no one waits
To say "Hello

It's so good your back again."

Confide in me
Your hopeless dreams
And wish away
Your yesterdays.
Forget the times
You were left behind,
The friends you made
And past mistakes.

The attention feels good
From the boys and girls
As you walk in to the room.
But the moment fades too fast
So you find a guy who
You know you could have.
Let him shake and studder
As he trys not to mutter.
Lean in, whisper
With all your guile
"Do you want to come back to mine?"

And you don't know why.

Confide in me
Your hopeless dreams
And wish away
Your yesterdays.
Forget the times
You were left behind,
The friends you made
And past mistakes.

It's gone on too long
But you can't find
A way to say no.
And no one's coming for you,
Your family's gone
There's no one here to
Stay always. Despite the pain
The boy you loved
You loved to push away
And the ones around who
Love to hurt you as if
You have to feel the pain

Cause you think you deserve it.
But that boy you hurt is
Waiting to care and say
"It's so good you're back again."

Confide in me
Your hopeless dreams
And wish away
Your yesterdays.
Forget the times
You were left behind,
The friends you made
And past mistakes.

It's so good you're back again.

I Don't Know You

Good morning,
What's my pain today?
Is it all the drugs
I don't
Take your hands off me
I don't feel the way
I did in yesterdays.
I don't know you.

What's the use in my
Mind if it can't think right?
What's the point in my love
If it dies like a heart sick dove?

All I Want Is You To Be Happy

We could walk together for a hundred miles
Walk to the bottom of this isle
Get a ferry across the sea.

You can say 'I love you' or keep it quite
But that won't change whats in my mind
All I want is you to be happy.

I haven't said it for so long
Thought the last time was too wrong
For it to ever be the real thing.
But here I am, far from home
Far from where I've ever known.

Although I'm hurting all over
Crushed my heart and made sure
That I'd cry out my eyes.

I can't help my feelings if they say
"You still love her, anyway."
All I want is you to be happy.

Stuck out my hand to reach out
Got it struck back. With out a doubt
It's all over now.
But the hope is coming back
Since the time you called me back
And we talked 'til the sun rose.

(A, C, G)
[They could say it was all wrong
Falling for a voice in a song.]
But all I want is you to be happy.

Every time I hear those songs
Reminds of the love that's strong
You always open my eyes.

You say you see my colours shining through
"Green, red, ash and black. It's true."
All I was it you to be happy.

I won't run, I stay in sight
I won't abandon the fight
As I said I promised you.
All that's happened I've been here
To stay away the prowling fear
I won't leave you now.

Though I thought I'd lose you out
Now you're all I think about
All I want is you to be happy.

Requiem for a White Rose Pt. 2

Stay alive
You'll only fall through
Your eyes
If you wander in too deep
To look
Around
And miss the exit.

Paint a perfect picture life.
Secrets to believe the lies.
Hold your ears and shut your eyes.
(Get) On your knees and start to pray.
(But nothing could release the light of day.)

(So) keep yourself
Away from the black
And sail
Through rivers of the mind
To find
A way
To rewind time.

Save a knife
You'll need it to reveal
The stains
Under brilliant sheets of light
They peel
Away
To see betrayal.

Paint a perfect picture life.
Secrets to believe the lies.
Hold your ears and shut your eyes.
(Get) On your knees and start to pray.
(But nothing could release the light of day.)

Live or die
The sun will rise and set
Behind
The hills beyond the place
Where you
Came from
And won't go back to.

Watch the waters melt the ice
And run down stony figures grey.
A fire burns you deep inside
Of all the things you didn't say.
(And you suspect you will not see the day.)

Think of who
You're leaving when you lie,
Too
(when) you say you're coming back
Then you spread
Your wings
To fall ten stories.

Candle Light

See the woman standing there,
Fair, the only one,
Making those around her seem
As candles to the sun.
