I thought this love was true But you broke my heart in two You chewed it up and spat it out And left my ego bruised Now I know I'm in a spin And I'm losing everything I wanna take this hurt and get it out And throw it to the wind Contradictions and tales of fiction Are all you ever had Stale sweet nothings and constant yearning Are all you left me with You lied You lied You lied You lied

What am I supposed to do, when this town just cuts me up? It burned my bones and shook my soul And left me with a heavy heart I feel the night swallow my dreams and the city pulsing through my veins What am I supposed to do, when this town just cuts me up? Run away, run away from here From this empty town I just wanna go I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city What I live it ain't the dream that I thought that I once had I'm at the bottom looking up at this town of empty souls All I see is a protest march with people who are on the line What am I supposed to do, when this town just cuts me up? Run away, run away from here From this empty town I just wanna go I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city One fine day I will leave this town and never take another look back All my dreams they've been slowly crushed Maybe I'll just fade away Run away, run away from here From this empty town I just wanna go I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city I come alive when I leave this city

There's this girl I know and she's always blue The sadness in her eyes is enough for two Everything she does never seems enough And getting out of bed keeps on getting tough Why do you look so sad? Give us a smile Give us a smile But no one understands What's on your mind On your mind There's this lad I know who's lost in the fog And everything he tries, it just hits a wall The black dog howls like a hungry wolf Keeping him at bay and drowning out his love Why do you look so sad? Give us a smile Give us a smile But no one understands What's on your mind On your mind Why do you look so sad? Give us a smile Give us a smile But no one understands What's on your mind On your mind Ooooh Give us a smile Give us a smile Ooooh What's on your mind On your mind

Ride the wave and leave this plain, Disappear and let your mind clear, A head of dreams put down on tape reels, On and on stuck in the machine, Nothing seems to fit, Now you're feeling shit, And it just seems to go on, You dream your life away, Now you're paralysed by what lives inside, And everything will fall, Ride the wave find escape

Demons Gold 06:21
You feel the cold follow you through the night You chase the hopes and dreams of another mans pride And what's it worth to you when you lose the find You chase the demons the gold in search of a life And when all's said and done, what was the point To the sound of blazing guns, you lost your soul Yet you take a young boy's life to feed your own For a man who sold his soul for the demons gold You feel the cold follow you through the night You chase the demons the gold in search of a life And when all's said and done, what was the point To the sound of blazing guns, you lost your soul Yet you take a young boy's life to feed your own For a man who sold his soul for the demons gold And when all's said and done, what was the point For a man who sold his soul for the demons gold
