GRIP lyrics
You’ve got a grip on me like a jealous girlfriend
You’ve got a hold of me that’ll last til the end
You’ve got me wanting you always more and more and more
You’ve got the whole of me down to the core
You’ve got a hold of me that is making me sick
And I try to let go but it ain’t easy to kick
You’ve got a grip on me and I just can’t escape
I’m locked away in another land somewhere deep in the shade
Chorus…
And you can’t give me what I need anymore
And nothing feels the way it did before
I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more
I’ve got that constant need to score
I shine a light blow the smoke into the moonlit night I walk
And talk about my love for the sun and how it reminds me of my mom
Youth is further away now than hell to burn
I’m coming closer to the point of no return
Chorus…
And you can’t give me what I need anymore
And nothing feels the way it did before
I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more
I’ve got that constant need to score
I’m getting harder I’m turning to steel
The life I’ve been living has lost its feel
I’m getting harder I’m turning to stone
The time of promises is long gone
Chorus…
And you can’t give me what I need anymore
And nothing feels the way it did before
I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more
I’ve got that constant need to score
I have an addiction like you have a religion
That will follow me til the end my friend
The time of promises is long gone, yea
The time of promises is long gone

GRACE lyrics
The old way of living
Was easy to let go
All the things you ever wanted
I always wanted them too
Graceful woman
I know who you are
And you know I will go with you
No matter how far
Chorus…
Just in the nick of time
Everything was changing
I’m enjoying it oh so much
All the love and such…
I know about trouble
And I know about pain
But that’s all over now
The song isn’t the same
No excuses
Light is the time
I will honor the day we met
Til the end of mine
Chorus…
Just in the nick of time
Everything was changing
I’m enjoying it oh so much
All the love and such…
I’m a believer
I believe in you
Freedom is, moments like this
Bit by bit by bit
These are wonderful times
And it sure feels so right
Let’s do some loving honey
Before we die - forever tied
Chorus…
Just in the nick of time
Everything was changing
I’m enjoying it oh so much
All the love and such
Just in the nick of time
Everything was changing
Wherever this may take me
I’ll be right by your side

NEVER LET GO lyrics
You were the cool one
You were the queen
A mastress of words
The prettiest girl I’ve ever seen
And we were good together
We had our fun
We were so special
We were full of charm
Chorus:..
And now those days are so long gone
But our love still lingers on
We’ve been down in the gutter and high above
And we’re still in love
Yeah…
Some things about you girl
Remain a mystery to me
We tried our best
When we set us free
There are so many things
You’ve given me
Not a life in a bubble
But you knocked some sense into me
Chorus…
And now those days are so long gone
But our love still lingers on
We’ve been down in the gutter and high above
And we’re still in love
Yeah…
I'm glad it's you and me
I guess we're meant to be
Be free…with me…

FAB lyrics
The laughter is gone, it’s always quiet now
We don’t really talk anymore
And if we do, it’s all about nothing
I don’t know my place anymore
Yeah, we failed, we had too high expectations
And we didn’t meet in the middle at all
It’s so sad to see ‘us’ wasting away
So now we got our closing call
Chorus…
You and I were fab
For a little while
For all the right reasons
Even now, it makes me smile
We used to talk to talk for hours, we used to laugh and dance
Now we’re just living side by side
I was happier alone then I’m with you now
It’s as sad as it sounds
Chorus…
You and I were fab
For a little while
For all the right reasons
Even now, it makes me smile
Bridge…
Yeah we both know, this is just the way it is
We were trying our best but it couldn’t go on like this
Love takes turns and there’s nothing you can do
It’s always sad when a love is through
Chorus…
You and I are dead
We were running out of time
You and I were fab
But we were running out of time
You and I were fab
You and I are dead
You and I were fab
Now you and I are dead

HOLE
Chorus…
A hole is where her heart was
A hole is where her heart was
I’m glad I got away, yea
So glad I didn’t stay
A hole is where her heart was
It all turned out to be a fake
I was on fire til I reached the top
but it was more than I could take
One in a million that’s how I felt
Tricked by her pussy and the bad cards she dealt
I was feeling a stupid kind of high
But all about her was a lie
Chorus…
A hole is where her heart was
A hole is where her heart was
I’m glad I got away
So glad I didn’t stay
I was so close, so close
I was so close to overdose on her
And her web of deceit and greed
And all that bullshit that no one needs
I don’t know where she is now
I still care for her somehow
But she ain’t no good
That much I understood
A hole is where her heart was
She was more than I could take
I was burning down like a cigarette
In a five minutes break, yea
Chorus…
A hole is where her heart was
A hole is where her heart was
I’m glad I got away
So glad I didn’t stay
A hole is where her heart was
A hole is where her heart was
No more foul play
On any other day
A hole is where her heart was
A hole is where her heart was
I’m on my way
Into a beautiful day

COMA lyrics
Spent years in a coma
Spent my life in a trance
A train is running round my brain
A lifelong romance, yeah
Spent years in a coma
Never feeling no pain
Can’t recall a single clear day
But I feel no shame
Chorus…
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme I’m your whore
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme some more
I’ve seen it all
I’m still standing tall
I’m not small at all
I’ve yet to fall
Chorus…
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme I’m your whore
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme some more
Yeah, I lived in a coma
And I will die in a trance
Always looking for the perfect kick
Don’t like missing any chance
Spent years in a coma
Spent my life in a trance
A train is running round my brain
A lifelong romance
Chorus…
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme I’m your whore
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme I’m your whore
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme I’m your whore
Gimme gimme some more
Gimme gimme gimme some more

WHEN I'M GONE lyrics
I´ve got to make this all make sense
Feels like I finally gotta leave
You´ll be stuck right where you are
Cause I´m the air you breathe
You´re wanting me so bad
But you don´t see me when I´m there
You hold me much too tight
The more you love the less you care
Chorus…
I know you need me like you need water
I know you miss me like you miss the sun
I know that you love me
Only when I´m gone
I miss the life running through my veins
I´m running out of reasons to stay
Because I finally found the light
And it takes me right away
To be free is to leave you behind
There are things you´ll never see
You´re so good at hurting
But you don´t break through the heart of me
Chorus…
I know you need me like you need water
I know you miss me like you miss the sun
I know that you love me
Only when I´m gone
I´ve got to make this all make sense
Feels like I finally gotta leave
You´ll be stuck right where you are
Cause I´m the air you breathe
Chorus…
I know you need me like you need water
I know you miss me like you miss the sun
I know that you love me
Only when I´m gone

HERE AND NOW lyrics
It’s 3am and I can’t call you
It’s 3am I’m left alone
I’m feeling like I oughta warn you
I’m not so good since you’ve been gone
I can reason out the why you left me
I can rationalize in my unreasonable state
But my heart and my head they dont line up correctly
I’m locked between love and hate
Chorus...
People say that I'll get through this
People say that life goes on
And I know I know that time will heal it
But in the here and now.....I’m not that strong
In the here and now I’m not that strong
In the here and now I’m not that strong
No....no...
No....no… I’m not that strong
I see your fingers dance along his spine
I know you’re shivering with the newness of the first time
But does he know every word you whisper’s a feeling and a memory
That used to be mine
Chorus...
People say that I'll get through this
People say that life goes on
And I know I know that time will heal it
But in the here and now.....I’m not that strong
In the here and now I’m not that strong
In the here and now I’m not that strong
No....no...
No....no… I’m not that strong
(Here and now) I’m standing knowing you’re replacing me
(Here and now) I’m aching knowing we can no longer be
(Here and now) I know he’s kissing you, he’s touching you
Your mind, body and soul all open wide
Chorus...
People say that I'll get through this
People say that life goes on
And I know I know that time will heal it
But in the here and now.....I’m not that strong
In the here and now I’m not that strong
In the here and now I’m not that strong
No....no...
No....no… I’m not that strong

MY DARLING ONE lyrics
I never meant to leave you broken
I just wanted to fix my broken self
Help me make the decision that’s best
For everyone in the long run
There’s a war inside myself
Between my heart and my head
For your sake I truly want the heart to win
But for my own the head
Chorus…
The voice inside me tells me it’s okay
I may regret it til my dying day
But I can’t think that way
I love you, but I won’t stay
I’m digging down deep
Listening to everything I feel
But no matter what (no matter what)
I’m gone for real
Chorus…
The voice inside me tells me it’s okay
I may regret it til my dying day
But I can’t think that way
I love you, but I won’t stay
Can’t live on promises anymore
They failed me time and time again
So I am losing you (I’m losing you)
But there’s nothing I can do
Bridge…
Cause I won’t stay
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
One day it’s gonna be okay
My darling one
Chorus…
The voice inside me tells me it’s okay
I may regret it til my dying day
But I can’t think that way
I love you, but I won’t stay

KNIFE lyrics
You say you love me
Always have and always will
But that don’t help me
When you’re gone
There’s nothing left to talk about
When it‘s all the same to you
You’re planning your way out
That’s what I get from you
Chorus…
I feel like a bus stop
And you’re waiting for a ride
Everything we were together
You’re trying to hide
So what’s left to talk about
When nothing matters anymore
When you’re scared to love
And nothing’s like before
Yeah, you say you love me
Always have and always will
But everything is changing now
I’ll deal with it somehow
Chorus…
I feel like a bus stop
And you’re waiting for a ride
Everything we were together
You’re trying to hide
I thank you for the memories
I’ll hold them close for a while
And when we meet someday somewhere
I wanna see you smile

SUMMER GIRL lyrics
She’s the summer girl
Her skin golden brown
She sucks me in
Into her cocoon
She’s the summer girl
Smell her black hair
I wanna bury my face
In there
Chorus…
She burns and she burns my heart
She burns and she burns my heart
She’s the summer girl
Erasing winter
She takes my breath away
Everytime she comes
She’s the summer girl
And I’m all hers
She warms my heart
When I look at her
Chorus…
She burns and she burns my heart
She burns and she burns my heart
Bridge….
Love life woman man
I fall in love every time again
Love life woman man
And I will never be the same
Chorus…
She burns and she burns my heart
She burns and she burns my heart
She’s the summer girl
Her skin golden brown
She’s like an oil painting
So beautiful…
Chorus…
She burns and I’m burning too
She burns and I’m burning too

QUEEN OF BLEACH lyrics
With that look upon your face
You almost look underage
But in your eyes I can see
You’ve given up on it
You’ve got nothing left to believe in
You’ve been kicked around some
You’re an open scar bleeding
And all hope is gone
Chorus…
You’re a spaced out barbiedoll
A beautiful freak
A godess in no-man’s-land
The queen of bleach
Your pretty face
Has lead you through life
What are you gonna do now
That time has cut it with a knife
What are you gonna do now
Tell me, what are you gonna do now
Chorus…
You’re a spaced out barbiedoll
A beautiful freak
A godess in no-man’s-land
The queen of bleach, hey
I ain’t gonna be your nurse
No, I ain’t gonna be your doctor
I am the finger in your butt
That will make the itch stop
This is it
The time to make a change
To kick your bad habbits
And to rearrange
Your life
To get well
To have a kind of future
And not this life in hell
Chorus…
You’re a spaced out barbiedoll
A beautiful freak
A godess in no-man’s-land
The queen of bleach
Yeah yeah yeah

MUTE lyrics
I’m constantly angry
I’ve been a mute for years
The words I wrote sounded good in my head
But not to my ears
Dying is easier
Than to write a good song
It’s so much safer
Nothing can go wrong
Chorus…
I’m a mute (I have nothing left to say)
Ooh oh I’m a mute (I’m just living day by day)
Now I just wanna drink
Until I’m sick
I wanna get so goddamn high
Until I fly
If it could make me forget you
If it could just help me heal
But my heart is still bleeding
It is you I feel
Chorus…
I’m a mute (I have nothing left to say)
Ooh oh I’m a mute (I’m just living day by day)
Bridge…
And there is nothing I can do
I’m just living day by day
Today repeats itself tomorrow
And I still will have nothing to say
Chorus…
I’m a mute (I have nothing left to say)
Ooh oh I’m a mute (I’m just living day by day)
I’m a mute (I have nothing left to say)
Ooh oh I’m a mute (hey hey hey)

STILL YOU lyrics
I found myself back again
thinking too much of you
I found it all the same again
After all that we've been through
Baby we're not what they call
The two who are meant to be
I wish I could explain it
But you don’t belong to me
I am here tonight
It’s all the same again
Yeah, I am here tonight
It’s all the same again
Chorus…
But I carry a part of you with me
No matter what I do
And through all the years
It was always you
I found myself back again
Thinking ‘bout me and you
I found it all the same again
There's nothing I can do
I feel so lost without you
Even if I wanna get out
There’s this feeling that you're missing
And it still makes me doubt
So I am here tonight
It’s all the same again
And you are here tonight
And I just wanna run again
Chorus…
Yes I carry a part of you with me
No matter what I do
And through all the years
It was always you
Bridge…
Everytime I see you
It's like we've never been apart
Everytime I touch you
It’s fucking with my heart
And that’s why
You just took me by surprise
With all the things you said
But I found out too late
I’ve been always in your head
Chorus...
