Crosses ††† - Crosses Album Lyrics

This Is A Trick

Something's changed in your face I notice
A different sparkle in those crazy eyes
Your unmistakable charade I know it
Always tricks me every time.

A million tears, a trillion times
I've seen that glaze and glitch in your eyes.

This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What this really is
I know hello, hello, hello

What's the matter with the transformation?
What you've been practicing for days and nights.
While I'm watching the creation of this
awful creature that no one likes.

A million tears, a trillion times
I've seen that glaze and glitch in your eyes.

This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What this really is
I know hello, hello
This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What this really is
I know hello, hello.

I'm so excited I can hardly take it.

This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What it really is
I know hello, hello,

It's just a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What it really is
I know hello, hello

Telepathy

You hang there on the wall
You've carved out your place
But I can tell you shake from inside

I see it all the time
The feel is always there
Just frozen in your mind from inside

I wasn't gonna play it tonight
But I can't help it
The feelings alive
As long as you play my game
I'll let you win

Before your entrance wave
Before we play this game
I like to feel you break from inside
You're gold and pink inside
And it's showing through your stare
It's frozen us in time from inside

I wasn't gonna play it tonight
But I can't help it
The feelings alive
As long as you play my game
I'll let you win

Come play my game
I'll let you win

I wasn't gonna play it tonight
But I can't help it
The feelings alive
As long as you play my game
I'll let you win

Bitches Brew

As the moon ascends
The wolves come out to see the end
They hide from view and wait
To watch the ghost inside you come awake
And when the shots go off, you hear them call
My heart is racing just to see it all
To watch you crawl out of your changing shape
Take all your breath and watch it come awake

From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawling to my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you crying to me

With your knees open
I display you, taunt the beast again
'Cause when you move and shake
That thing inside you comes awake
As you dance against the breathing wall
My claws are out, I want to feel it all
Feel it crawl inside you, changing shape
Take out your breath and feel you come awake

From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawling to my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you crying to me

Say something, pray for something
Say something, pray to something
Say something, pray to something
Say something, pray to something
Say...

(From the flames of the fire
I watch you crawling to me)

From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawling to my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you crying to me

SAY SOMETHING! PRAY FOR SOMETHING!
SAY SOMETHING! PRAY TO SOMETHING!
SAY

Thholyghst

Here on this stainless table
I come inside you and haunt your dreams
Baby I don't mind, you can fake it
But I don't mind, come away with me.

You make a godly servant
Protect your bible between your knees
Baby I won't mind, let me play with it
I don't mind, run away with it.

The funeral party favorite
I'm the ghost in the human shape
Baby I don't mind if you play with me
I don't mind, run away with me.

We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls,
Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls
Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls

I know when the angel calls you
You'll cross your fingers then fall asleep
Baby i don't mind if you play with me
I don't mind, come away with me

We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls,
We'll fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls
We fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.

Trophy

I've been waiting
For you to say the words
As we sail across the universe

Entertaining
You bring me to a stare
As you wave your heart into the air

I walk away
And play it safe
It's strange
How it works

Take your vices
And throw them in the drain
While you're laughin in the pouring rain

Are you sorry?
Well can you find the words?
You just say the lines that you've rehearsed

I'll walk away
And play it safe like you
I just walk away and play it cool
It's strange
How it works...

Just walk away and play it cool
It's strange
How it works

The Epilogue

It's a strange day
The roses are in bloom
But in a strange way
I know somehow we're doomed

Look around through the town
Not a soul to be found
In silence, not a sound
There's no one around but you

In the back of the car
On our way from the bar
In silence, here we are
Reminding us we're doomed

Well I guess that it's we come to the end
We've circled around our doom
And I won't stop, not till I get what I want
And all that I want is you

In a strange place
When the sun goes down, we move
Into a strange phase
Like we've got nothing left to lose

So we slip through the town
With our heads in the clouds
In silence, not a sound
For miles and miles around

Fall asleep in the park
Underneath all the stars
In silence, here we are
Reminded of how we're doomed

I guess that it's we come to the end
We've circled around our doom
Yeah, I won't stop, not till I get what I want
And all that I want is you

It's you
All that I want is you
Yeah, you
All that I want is you

So I guess that it's we come to the end
We've circled around our doom
Yeah, I won't stop, not till I get what I want
And all that I want is you

I guess that it's we come to the end
We've circled around our doom
Yeah, I won't stop, not till I get what I want
'cause all that I want is you

Bermuda Locket

I got to tell you something
I wanna view your dreams
I wanna pull out your crazy and pour it over me.
I might take you somewhere far across the seas
I need your faith, I need your everything.

As you enter into my curse
Our dreams reverse and the demons burst...

So I wait, anticipate to meet you tonight,
Come this way and I will bring your dreams to life.

I wanna move you somewhere close to ecstasy
I might tell you things some which you won't believe
I wanna view the signals that control your brain
I need a taste I need your everything.

As you enter into my curse
Our dreams reverse and the demons burst...
So I wait, anticipate to meet you tonight
Just come this way and I will bring your dreams to life.

From the first time I saw you till now
I have counted the years that have gone by
We'll release those demons tonight, tonight.

So I wait, anticipate to meet you tonight
Just come this way and I will bring your dreams to life.
So I save this occasion to meet you tonight
Just come this way and I will bring your dreams to life.

Frontiers

From the haze in your chambers
To the legs on the stage
I'm consumed by your danger
I can lose my restraint yeah

I can take you even further
Oh yeah I
I'll let you enter
From the stage
We shoot our guns
Then we sail off into the sun
While the cold world freezes on

The view from the trails from the vapors
That we burn from a kiss
Heats the stars that we strangle
And it's proof we exist

I can take you even further
Oh yeah I
I'll let you enter
From the stage
We shoot our guns
Then we sail off into the sun
While the cold world freezes on

Yeah I can take you even further
Oh yeah I
I'll let you enter
From the stage
We shoot our guns
Then we sail off into the sun
While the cold world freezes on
Into the sun...
Into the sun...

Nineteen Ninety Four

When the sun goes down
I go out from the pages.
I pop the balloon you sailed across
and tip from the bottom of trees.
From the inside of the way
I start the illusion that escapes.

You didn't have to run, stop run
Just keep me where I want.
You knew how good it felt to be home.

Very soon we'll be erased.
Forget how to count tense we used.
Then realize that, oh God,
you were not aware that I was in love with you.

You didn't have to run, stop run
Just keep me where I want.
We're frozen. Yeah, we're frozen.
You knew how good it felt to be home.

You didn't have to run, stop run
Just keep me where I want.
You knew how good it felt to be home.

Option

I dream a day that god will surface
To retrieve his nails and open your heart.
You'll say you're mine for the ages
Just open your heart and say

"I swear on the cross"
Can you promise this to the grave you'll take my name?
Can you promise me?

Overseas and over mountains
A thousand years I've waited for her
To say the lines "from this day forward"
Just open your heart and say

"I swear on the cross"
Can you promise that to the grave you'll take my name?
Can you promise me?

All this time I've prayed for this day to come true,
No one knows how deep the waves we waded through.
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
Cause no one knows how far apart we've stayed to get through.

I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through.
Can you say "I swear on the cross"
Can you promise that to the grave you'll take my name?
Can you promise me?

Nineteen Eighty Seven

In the way,
A shoebox and a lamp shade
A silver can't cascade,
A mother's trust for eternity

In the way,
A shoebox and a lamp shade
A silver can't cascade,
A mother's trust for eternity

A mother's trust for eternity

(A mother's trust for eternity)

Blk Stallion

Live reckless is fine, news better
My suggestion is to lie to me

Black stallion is the last time
No exception, take aim all of it

I never thought that this could happen to me
You never thought that this would happen, did you?

One second is gone, stay true
I recognize that you'll be shot for bridge

Black stallion is the last time
No exception, take aim all of it

I never thought that this could happen to me
You never thought that this would happen, did you?

I like how you move to the music, it's easy to like
Cause baby your boys simply famous, with your name in lights

I never thought that this could happen to me
You never thought that this would happen, did you?

Prurient

How come you never rest your tongue?
How do you ever expect to learn?
I know you want to chase it
But don't want to break your stride
I know you want to taste it
But don't want to waste your mind

I know you want to try it
so go and dive in
Taste it, like it
They've got you so excited
You want to climb in
Taste the violence

Between the razors and the hooks
And from the blood that you cough up
I see you want a taste,
But don't want to wreck your life
I think you know the game,
So go ahead and take a bite

I know you want to try it,
so go and dive in
Taste it, like it
They've got you so excited,
You want to climb in
Taste the violence

Uncovering your eyes
Rediscovering the high
Uncovering your eyes
Rediscovering the high

Death Bell

I can live inside your golden gates
I fell into another state
High inside your all is left
I give into you all the way

I follow you into the light
I follow you into the light

I can live inside your golden gates
I fell into another state
High inside your holiness
I give into you all the way

I follow you into the light
I follow you into the light

I follow you into the light
I follow you into the light
