Friends and lovers come and go Some things will change, other things they remain Friends and lovers come and go Friends and lovers come and go Some things remain, other things they may change I have not felt; Love in so long There’s no truth; There is no hope Friends and lovers come and go Friends and lovers come and go All I feel is pain All I feel is you All I feel is pain Without you, my world is sand Without you, my world is sand It’s another ice age, there’s no longer sunshine in your eyes It’s the dawn of a new day, a new face, a new life, a new time A pawn shop of horrors, yeah A showery masquerade of intrigue Friends and lovers come and go Friends and lovers come and go Friends and lovers come and go You and I will come and go

Hold my eyes, steady your gaze Take the lead, carefully I want you again, I want you aside, I want to take plans for me, I want you to die I want to live, I want to see, I want to move too, I want to lead There’s something in the way that you’re calling me out today There’s something in the way that you’re leading me on today There’s something in the way that you’re calling me out today There’s something in the way that you’re leading me on today

Home but not home, here, not here Home but not home, here, not here It’s clear this time, that she’s playing games Her words are curt, and her voice lies just the same When left alone, to metastasize These things explode when built up inside Whenever I’m with you, worlds collide Whenever I’m with you, worlds collide Worlds collide All our fights are All our fights are petty All our fights are Filled with fraught distractions All our fights are All our fights are petty All our fights are Filled with fraught distractions Whenever I’m with you, worlds collide Whenever I’m with you, worlds collide Worlds collide All our fights are All our fights are petty All our fights are Filled with fraught distractions All our fights are All our fights are petty All our fights are Filled with fraught distractions All our friends are All our friends are heady All our friends are All our friends are heady

Wake up in another haze Are you still alive? Comatose, comatose Scan the crowd with a skewed face Who the fuck are they? Say the lines, say the lines Wake up one day dead (inside) Oh, one day, you will find One day, I will find One and one and that makes check Two and one and that’s the end Checkmate Oh, checkmate
