`Cos all I have left is my memories of yesterday Oh the sour times `Cos nobody loves me, it's true, not like you do After time the bitter taste Of innocence disintegrates Scattered seed, buried lives Histories of our disguise reborn Circumstance will decide `Cos nobody loves me, its true, not like you do (x3) (3) Strangers Can anybody see the light Where the moon beats the dew And the tide is rising Did you realise no one can see inside your view Did you realise the world inside belongs to you Oh just set aside your fears of life With the sole desire Done in morning, done in now , and it ain't real On this side Done in morning, done in now , and it ain't real On this side Done in morning, done in now , and it ain't real Done it morning and nothing matters, this ain't real On this side Oh can anybody see the light Where the moon beats the dew And the tide is rising Did you realise no one can see inside your view Did you realise the world inside belongs to you (4) It could be sweet I don't want to hurt you No reason have I for fear I ain't guilty of crimes accused before But I'm guilty of fear I'm certain that But I'm scared of what we're creating This love affair You don't get something for nothing Too now Got to try a little harder It could be sweet Like a long forgotten dream And we don't need them To cast the fate we have Love don't always shine through `Cos I don't want to lose What we had last time your leaving This love affair You don't get something for nothing Too now Got to try a little harder It could be sweet But the thoughts we try to deny Take a toll upon our lives Struggle on in depths of pride Tangled up in single lives `Cos I don't want to lose What we had last time your leaving This love affair You don't get something for nothing Turn back Got to try a little harder `Cos I don't want to lose What we had last time your leaving This love affair You don't get something for nothing Turn back Got to try a little harder It could be sweet (5) Wandering star Please couldn't you stay a while to share my grief It's such a lovely day to have to always feel this way And the time that I will suffer less It's when I never have to wait Wandering stars For whom it is preserved The blackness, the darkness, forever Wandering stars For whom it is preserved The blackness, the darkness, forever Those who have seem the needles I now tread Like a husk from which your darkness now has fled And the masks that the monsters wear To feed upon their prey Wandering stars For whom it is preserved The blackness, the darkness, forever Wandering stars For whom it is preserved The blackness, the darkness, forever Doubled up inside Take a while to share my grief Always doubled up inside Taunted, cool Wandering stars For whom it is preserved The blackness, the darkness, forever Wandering stars For whom it is preserved The blackness, the darkness, forever (6) It's a fire It's a fire These dreams that pass me by The salvation I desire Keeps getting me down `Cos we need to recognize our state For time and again So let it be known For what we believe in I can see no reason For it to fade `Cos this life is a farce I can't breathe through this mask Like a fool So breathe on, little sister, breathe on From this warm cell Testify or tell It's fooling us now So let it be known For what we believe in I can see no reason For it to fade `Cos this life is a farce I can't breathe through this mask Like a fool So breathe on, little sister, breathe on Oh, so breathe on little sister, like a fool (7) Numb I'm ever so lost I can't find my way Been searching but I have never seen A turning, a turning from deceit `Cos a child roses light Tried to reveal what I could feel I can't understand myself anymore `Cos I'm still feeling lonely Feeling so unholy `Cos a child roses light Tried to reveal what I could feel And this loneliness It just won't leave me alone, oh no I'm fooling somebody A faithless bed I roam Seething to breath this secretly A silence, this silence I can't bear `Cos a child roses light Tried to reveal what I could feel And this loneliness He just won't leave me alone, Oh no And this loneliness It just won't leave me alone Oh lady you're the one (x2) (8) Roads Oh, can't anybody see We've got a war to fight Never find our way Regardless of what they say How can it feel this wrong?
