Nine Black Alps Album

Baby, calm down
I'll be your freind
Show you around
Till the bitter end

You would wake up in the early morning sun
Pray to God that you are not the only one
Who has to fight it when the world knocks on your door
But hasn't worked out what it is your fighting for

Baby, calm down
I'll be your freind
Show you around
Till the bitter end

Give me something I can really understand
Paint a picture where the world lies in my hands
Make it simple, make it starting from today
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Baby, calm down
I'll be your freind
Show you around
Till the bitter end

Are you ready to find someone who cares?
If it ever gets you anywhere.

Baby, calm down
I'll be your freind
Show you around
Till the bitter end

Baby, calm down
I'll be your freind
Show you around
Till the bitter end

Bent out of shape
her body moves and pull the feeling from your face
completely screwed.
All out of style
why can't you see there's so much sadness in your smile
it's always you who has to..
Burn faster
Cut deeper
Hit harder
Fall further

Always the same
Can't change your colours or you'll look the other way
for a better view.
The bitter taste
you broke the mould that held you firmly in your place
and now it's you who has to..
Burn faster
Cut deeper
Hit harder
Fall further

When every little step you take,
Keep making the same mistake
Yeah

Burn faster
Cut deeper
Hit harder
Fall further

It seems I think I've found a lucky one,
who understands the way the world is spun,
who knows how to talk,
knows how to get upset,
who knows how to shock all the thoughts in the back of my head.

'Cause everytime I turn you look so lonely,
everytime I look, you turn away,
you wanna be alone, or so I'm told,
and I'm told that you can't be saved.

You're nothing less than what I ought to be,
a figurehead of long-lost company,
who knows how to talk,
knows how to get upset,
who knows how to shock all the thoughts in the back of my head.

'Cause everytime I turn you look so lonely,
everytime I look, you turn away,
you wanna be alone, or so I'm told,
and I'm told that you can't be saved.

You don't own it,
you can't control it,
tun your head the other way.

You don't own it,
you can't control it,
tun your head the other way.


'Cause everytime I turn you look so lonely,
everytime I look, you turn away,
you wanna be alone, or so I'm told,
and I'm told that you can't be saved.

And everytime I turn,
and everytime I turn,
you wanna be alone,
or so I'm told,
and I'm told that you can't be saved.

I would hate to disappoint you, but I think, I think I’m going to fall.
‘Cause I’m scared of everything I can do, and I’m drawn to everything that’s wrong.
And even though I care, you don’t.

Turn around, take a look, take a laugh at my face.
You’ll learn to love the ones that you hate.
And even though I care, you don’t.

Thanks for making your decision to leave. You can never leave too soon.
When you’re high, you’re higher than the heavens.
When you’re low, there’s no one else but you.
‘Cause there’s no in between, is there?

Turn around, take a look, take a laugh at my face.
You’ll learn to love the ones that you hate.
And even though I care you don’t, you won’t.

You take, you take, you take a long look at my face.
You’ll learn, you’ll learn, you’ll learn to love all that you hate.
And even though I care, you don’t, you won’t.

I took your picture. I took your picture off the wall.
Now there’s nothing, there’s not anything at all.
And if you think that you’re below me, you don’t know me anymore.
Yeah, you’ve seen what I’ve been doing, yeah you’ve seen it all before.
And you say I’ve got a sickness and there isn’t any cure.

Well that’s too bad, it’s such a drag ‘cause it could be painless.
It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be painless.
It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be…

I know you’re out there, I know you’re dancing in the sun.
If you could see me, if you could see what I’ve become.
‘Cause I know it can’t be healthy, hanging on your every word.
But I can’t escape the feeling that you get what you deserve.

I can handle being lonely, I can handle being burned.
It’s just too bad. It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be painless.
It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be painless.
It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be…

‘Cause it could be painless.
It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be painless.
It’s such a drag ‘cause it could be…

Everybody's got a secret life,
got their stars and stripes, got a sunrise.
You can see it when they roll their eyes to the neon lights in the night time.

And if you want it, it don't matter much,
you can never get enough.

You're searching for what?
A better life?
A dollar sign?
I blew my heart out trying for what?
A paradise,
I'll never find,
I'm not surprised,
but maybe,

I'm just feeling lucky 'cause my hands are tied,
and my mouth is dry,
and I won't fight.
And I've been acting like I'm on your side,
and I don't know why,
and I don't mind.

I don't wanna 'cause I have no luck,
and I never ask for much.

Except for a shock,
a better life,
A dollar sign,
I blew my heart out trying for what?
A paradise,
I'll never find,
I'm not surprised,
but, maybe I was?
yer, maybe I was?
You're trying too much,
well, maybe it's never gonna be enough.

You're searching for what,
A better life,
A dollar sign,
I blew my heart out trying for what?
A paradise,
I'll never find,
I'm not surprised,
but, maybe I was?

Ohh, ohhh

Rings of roses,
tied round my neck,
heavier than water.

Burn the new flesh,
watch it turn red,
heavier than water.

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this.

Take a deep breath,
feels so weightless,
lighter than a feather.

Looks like quick-sand,
come take my hand,
lighter than a feather.

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this.

Don't you want to see the light?
Don't you want to see the darker side?

Bright white angel light,
don't you want to see the darker side?

Anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but...

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but this.

I love you 'cause you're sympathetic,
you listen once and soon forget what I said,
'cause it's all in your head.

I love you like a new adiction,
you kiss me once and then go missing,
so long, you've been gone all along,

With your happiness and satisfaction,
distorted by the big attraction,
I cut you down and set you free,
I pull the darkness over me.

I can't help it, I can't help myself
and you know it,
'cause there's nobody else,
yer, there's nobody else.

Waking up was not so easy, you sobered up quite completely, feel down,
there was no one around

But, your sentimental chain reactions,
tied to all the old distractions,
I held you temporarily,
to rest your bones here next to me.

I can't help it, I can't help myself
and you know it,
'cause there's nobody else,
yer, there's nobody else.

It's just happiness and satisfaction,
safely in the ground reaction, (?)
it'll make you who you wanna be,
I pull the darkness over me.

I can't help it, I can't help myself
and you know it,
'cause there's nobody else,
yer, there's nobody else.
Nobody else.

I'm in love, I'm in love.
I'm in love with the way the world takes it out on me.
I'm in pain, i'm in pain.
I've been hurt by the way that you won't let me be, yeah.
You won't let me be, yeah
You won't let me be.

I can go, I can go.
I could leave you alone but you'd never set me free.
It's a shame, it's a shame,
That I can't play the part that you seem to want from me, yeah
That you want from me, yeah
That you want from me.

And you try to get out, try to get out.
Me yeah, try to get out, try to get out.

You won't get out of love.
You won't get out...
Me yeah, try to get out, try to get out.
Me yeah, try to get out, try to get out.
Me yeah, try to get out, try to get out.
Me yeah, try to get out, you won't get out of love.
Love, love, love.

You are all the same
You're so polite
You can't explain
And me, I'm getting sick
I'm sick of it
I call it quits

Because really, falling down is easy
No one else will help me
Won't you carry on dear
Carry on without me

Please just forget my name
Forget my face, you're all the same
The human race
Someone else can take my place
And leave me here
Without a trace

You're left and right
You're rich and poor
You're black and white

And me, I'm barely here
I'm barely there
Not anywhere

Because maybe, everybody's happy
Laughing and ecstatic
Don't forget to carry on without me

Please, forget my name
Forget my face
You're all the same
The human race
Someone else can take my place
And leave me here
Without a trace

So you can sell me
Send me down the river
You'll find someone who's better
Won't you carry on dear
On without me, please

Forget my name
Forget my face
You're all the same
The human race
Someone else can take my place
And leave me here
Without a trace
Without a trace

Shock myself again
Cross my name off the list
I don't belong

Why would you depend
On a voice that can only do you wrong?
I don't want to be alone

I'll be over there
Under the sun
That yellow moon
Is cold and it holds no comfort there
No room to hide your cares

Fell asleep again
Dreamt myself as a cloud
That never rains

Why would you depend
On a heart that can only bring you pain?
I don't want to be around

I'll be over there
Under the sun
That yellow moon
Is cold and it holds no comfort there
No room to hide your cares

You fell into a steady sleep
Awoke alone and out of reach
To stumble over who you were
Then told your story in reverse

You fell into a steady sleep
Awoke alone and out of reach
To stumble over who you were
A horror story underneath the sun
