Stabbing Westward

nbsp;
SO FAR AWAY

Each night I feel the distance that has grown between us
Open up as lonely as the space between the stars
I wish that I could find a way
To smash my fist right through these walls
Of ugliness and emptiness
and gently touch your face

(CHORUS)
But every time that I touch you
You feel so far away
And every time that you need me
I feel so far away

As you lie silently beside me choking back your tears
I wonder if you recognize
That silence that defines us
Desperately I try to fight this overwhelming sense
That I may never find
The strength to change
How hopeless we've become

(CHORUS)
And every time that I touch you
You feel so far away
And every time that you need me
I feel so far away

(BRIDGE)
We need to find a way to break this silence
We need to find a way to break this silence
We need to find a way to break this silence that's between us
So I scream your name

(CHORUS)
But every time that I touch you
You feel so far away
And every time that you need me
I feel so far away
And every time that you reach out
You feel me pull away
And every time that I touch you, I touch you, I touch you
You feel so far away

PERFECT

Lately I've noticed
How Much you've changed
Even though you swear
You're the same

(CHORUS)
So why do I feel
A million miles away?
Why do I feel
Like we're broken

Why can't it be
Perfect like it used to be
Why can't we be
Perfect?

Perfect is how I
Once described or love
But that was before
We fell apart

(CHORUS)
So why do I feel
A million miles away?
Why do I feel
Like we're broken

Why can't it be
Perfect like it used to be
Why can't we be
Perfect?

It used to be perfect

Lately I've noticed
How Much you've changed
Even though you swear
You're the same

(CHORUS)
Why can't it be
Perfect like it used to be
Why can't we be
Perfect?

Why can't it be
Perfect like it used to be
Why can't we be
Perfect?

It used to be perfect

I REMEMBER

Do you ever wonder where
We would be if we had tried
A little harder

It seems like yesterday
That we were making plans
For the future

But it's been so long
Since I have known the truth
These dreams we've left abandon

(CHORUS)
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
And that out love transcended space and time

These memories slip away
The ghost of what we were
Is fading

But there is no more pain
Which is funny 'cause that night
I was dying
I was dying

Now I don't even recognize
The girl I swore that someday
I would marry

But I can't forget her face
And I can't forget her kisses
Sweet kisses

(CHORUS)
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
Or how we swore that we would never be alone
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
'Cause I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
And that out love transcended space and time
Do you remember?
God I remember so much

WASTED

I have spent
My life
Running from the emptyness
That haunts me

I have spent
My whole life
Trying to fuck
The loneliness away

And I die
Inside
When I think of all the people
I have damaged

And I'm tired
I'm so tired
And there's no one else
Except myself to blame

(CHORUS)
My life's been wasted
Everything is gone
My life's been wasted
And I am all alone
My life's been wasted
There is no one else
My life's been wasted
It's time I face myself

I've spent
My life
Trapped inside
A cycle of self destruction

And I've spent
My whole life
Trying to numb
The pain inside my soul

And you know
I cry
When I realized
I fought this war with no one

I'm tired
I'm so fucking tired
Gotta find a way
To keep myself alive

(CHORUS)
My life's been wasted
Everything is gone
My life's been wasted
And I am all alone
My life's been wasted
There is no one else
My life's been wasted
It's time I face myself

(BRIDGE)
When I reach the end
Will anything I've done
Mean anything?
(x2)

Will anything I've done mean anything? (x3)

(CHORUS)
My life's been wasted
Everything is gone
My life's been wasted
And I am all alone
My life's been wasted
There is no one else
My life's been wasted
It's time I face myself

HAPPY

I know you've grown to hate me
Even more than you have
Grown to hate yourself

But has it really made a difference?
Sharing all that hate
With someone else?

(CHORUS)
Please tell me
Are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me
Are you really happy?
Or did you simply throw our life away?
Just to be unhappy?

Does he worship and adore you?
Does he make you feel so
Beautifully complete?

Is your life so much better now?
Or do those same old
Demons haunt your sleep?

(CHORUS)
Please tell me
Are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me
Are you really happy?
Or did you simply throw our life away?
Just to be unhappy?

Is he everything you've dreamed of?
I'd imagine he is
So much more than me

You know I tried to make you happy
But I beleive
You thrive on misery

(CHORUS)
Please tell me
Are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me
Are you really happy?
Or did you simply throw our life away?
Just to be unhappy?

THE ONLY THING

All I need
Is the air you breath
All I need
Is the air I breath
All you need
Is the air we breath
All I need
Is you

There are so many things
We need so desperatly
And the TV preaches
We can't live without them

You tell me what is need
I'll tell what I believe
If I ever were without it
I'd be worthless

(CHORUS)
'Cause you are everything
The only thing that I need
You are everything
The only thing that I need
You are everything
The only thing that I need
Yes you are everything
You are the air I breathe

I wonder if someday
We took all their toys away
Do you think they'd find the strength
To go on living?

'Cause deep inside I know
If I lost everything I owned
I'd be a king
As long as you're beside me

(BRIDGE)
'Cause you are everything
The only thing that I need
Yes you are everything
The only thing I need
I love you everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
You are the air I breathe

The air I breathe (x5)

I hope someday they find
A place to bid online
Where all lost souls
Can find their lives some meaning

I know we'll survive
All we need's more time
As long as we've got lovin
On in the ocean

(CHORUS)
And you are everything
The only thing that matters
We are everything
There's nothing else I need
Our love is everything
The only thing that matters
'Cause we are everything
You are the air I breathe

The air I breathe (x5)

(CHORUS)
You are everything
The only thing that matters
You are everything
There's nothing else I need
Yes you are everything
The only thing that matters
Our love is everything
You are the air I breathe

You are evrything
You are the air I breathe
The air I breathe (x5)

ANGEL

I believed that love was sacred
As I dove blindly into her sea
You see, that warm embrace felt more like drowning
As endless waves crashed down on me

She was an insatiable black hole
Feeding off my mind and off my soul
I find love humilating
A sick and desperate need that drives me
God I hope I never feel again

(CHORUS)
But I've never been loved by an angel
I've never felt anything so pure
I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight your heaven filled my room

She showed that love could lift me higher
With a kiss she repaired these broken wings
She revived my fading spirit
Restored my faith in everything

I have never felt I had a home
Even in a crowd I felt alone
I'd almost given up on life
I believed it's all a lie
And never thought I'd feel again

(CHORUS)
But I've never been loved by an angel
I've never felt anything so pure
I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight when your heaven filled my room

I believed in nothing
But you believe in me
I thought that life was worthless
But you told me I'm a star

(CHORUS)
But I've never been loved by an angel
I've never felt anything so pure
I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight your heaven filled my room

BREATHE YOU IN

Tomorrow came to soon
I barely made it through today
Still empty inside
I guess nothing's really changed

I'm still afraid to feel
'Cause I cannot take the pain
I'm still afraid to feel
Afraid to lose someone again

I wish that somehow
I could leave
My past behind
My fears behind

If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you

I guess it's time to face the truth
And admit my past mistakes
Come to terms with all that's wrong with me
And all the things I'll never ne

Why am I afraid to feel?
Afraid of what is true?
Why am I afraid to feel?
When all I really want is you?

To taste your skin
To share your thoughts
Would never be enough for me

If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you

HIGH

I can't hide it
I can't fight it
When every nerve is
Crying out for release

I can't recapture
The rapture
The passion that is
Burning inside of me

(CHORUS)
I've lost so much
Chasing the perfect high
I've lost so much

I've never been so high as I was with you
Never been so high
I've never been as high as I was with you
I finally realized that's a perfect high
That's a perfect high

The hunger
It consumes me
I lost my soul as you came rushing
In my veins

A pethetic
Little junkie
But I'm the whore
That needs it one last time

(CHORUS)
I've lost so much
Chasing the perfect high
I've lost so much

I've never been so high as I was with you
Never been so high
I've never been as high as I was with you
I finally realized that's a perfect high
That's a perfect high

That's a perfect high

TELEVISION

I sit alone contemplating
What is missing inside me
I desperately try to remember
A life that's not meant to be

I meditate
And try to recapture
Some sense of reality
In my life

But I look around
I see numb empty faces
The world is waiting to die

And this apathy
Is so suffocating
The slow decay of my mind
I've searched the world
For someone with answers
To questions that are plaguing me

I scream in vain
To anyone who'll listen
But everbody's watchin' TV

Is anyone alive?

Am I lost in a world
Where nothing matters?

Am I lost in a world
Where no one cares?

Is anyone alive? (x2)
Are we lost in a world
Where nothing matters?

Are we lost in a world
Where no one cares?

Is anyone alive? (x2)
