lyrics

Find me in the outskirts of this nevercaring town
lighting some more matches as the city's burning down
concrete jungle beat
lost in neonlight
fire is the only chance to
warm us up tonite

incinerate relentless motion
paint the sky in red
freezeframe with a single notion
of the things we've never had
melting dreams becoming statues
of a life gone out of sight
in your eyes reflecting stairways
take me high
take me high tonite

I wanna live, I wanna breathe, I wanna smile, I wanna run,
I wanna laugh, I wanna cry, and I am shocked what I've become
Where is the light, where is the sea, there's nothing left inside of me
I wanna yearn, I wanna learn, oh show me how to feel alive

I'm really sad to say
you won't get out of here alive
there's nothing to hold on to
when the best of you has died
there's nothing to adore
when everything's demystified
you can't replace your passion
with a little bit of pride

I'm wearing clownish costumes
just to keep you satisfied
the promisses are broken
and again, my friend, they've lied
you've dried out, dried out
you've become as cold as ice
your heart may keep on beating
but there's nothing left inside

I wanna live...

I'm really sad to say
you won't get out of here alive
there's nothing to hold on to
when the best of you has died
there's nothing to adore
when everything's demystified
you can't replace your passion
with a little bit of pride

Wake up, wake up
open your eyes
all the gods that you
worshipped have died
the skies are empty
there's noone to obey
now it's your own turn
time to work, time to play
