THIS HOUSE OF CARDS (IS FALLING DOWN)
I'm a parade,
You're the rain.
If I say black,
You say white.
You put me down,
You cause me pain.
Boy, it just ain't right.
You're a thorn in my side,
A blow to my pride.
You're the parasite
Eats me up inside.
You used to love me,
Now nothing's right.
No, it ain't right.
This house of cards
Is falling down.
Can't think, can't sleep.
I'm about to drown
In a sea of misery.

Is falling apart.
Can't find a way
To melt the ice in your heart.
And it's killing me,
It's about killing me.

To come home to me.

Drive me away.
I used to have the key
That opened your heart.

Farther apart.
You treat everyone else
Better than me.
Why do you cause such misery?
This house of cards
Is falling down.
Can't think, can't sleep.
I'm about to drown.
In a sea of misery,
In this sea of misery.
This house of cards
Is falling apart. Can't find a way
To melt the ice in your heart.
It's killing me,
It's really killing me.
Our house of cards
Is coming down.
It's killing me,
About to drown.
Our house of cards is
Falling, falling, falling
Down, down, down....

I gave you my love, then you set me free.
I can't feel

The Man in the Moon
Your heart, the moon, far away and cold
Eclipsed by pain from wounds so deep

Silence the Hearts
Death to you, death to me and to all fantasy
'Cause we'll sink in the sands of time eventually
So take me
SUNSHINE
I'm reaching for some thing I'll never reach, eternally longing just to be seen, by your rays of light, that
