The Dark Element
Album • 2019
Once we We were the young and the tragic Trying to make our magic in This world of temporary things We were Searching for sweet perfection Turning it to affliction while Not knowing fact from fiction I was thoughtless Never that cold and heartless It was a play reserved for you When you wanted something new No more, call me when you are sober You are too drunk to remember now I did write you a love song You got the words wrong The pledge, the turn, the prestige Are not worth anything When we have to perform them In front of a blind audience We all have made our mistakes Mistakes we’ve paid for I’ll always be a monster But not your monster anymore In the end we Gave birth to a hopeless dream We had it all but prestige and I have grown to hate our child I learned After we closed the curtain And you had made me disappear I was not the magician But the assistant The pledge, the turn, the prestige Are not worth anything When we have to perform them In front of a blind audience We all have made our mistakes Mistakes we’ve paid for I’ll always be a monster But not your monster anymore I have no more cards up my sleeve And you’re no enchanter I might have been playing the wolf But you were the vampire The pledge, the turn, the prestige Are not worth anything When we have to perform them In front of a blind audience We all have made our mistakes Mistakes we’ve paid for I’ll always be a monster But not your monster anymore

I used to wish and wonder everyday Close my eyes and see where it would take me I'd get lost in my dreams when I was a girl, was a child Restless heart and mind still open wide Running careless under clear and blue skies Even then I did know that one day I would Walk away from the ones who'd enslave me Every pain, every soul who would stain me Leave behind little town where I once swore I will never die here Through the forest of green I will wonder Underneath starry skies I will slumber I will climb every hill, every mountain Till I've seen them all I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings And now that I've seen just a little, not a lot But I know who I am and who I am not I could weep for the ones who stumble through life like they're lost Heedless hearts and eyes that must be blind Living joyless under pale and grey skies I just want them to know that right now they could Board the ship, hoist the sail, weigh the anchor Set a course right towards the horizon We can sail every sea, every ocean Till we've seen them all I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail And hear the songs the night sings

You look so pale, you look so frail While shadows they dance on your ashen skin You were so strong, so full of life Now something is eating you from inside I fear the worst, hope for the best Deny it while hearts are put to the test Unwelcome guest inside your chest Will claim you and then it is time to rest Let me ease your pain when the bells they chime Walk with you for this one last time I was there when you wore your crown I'm still here when it all comes down I hold on tight, I pray to god Don't leave me for all is not said and done Can't ease your pain, can't take your place For time is the truth we all face alone Let me ease your pain when the bells they chime Walk with you for this one last time I was there when you wore your crown I'm still here when it all comes down Let me ease your pain when the bells they chime Walk with you for this one last time I was there when you wore your crown I'm still here when it all comes down

Was I not there when the dam began to break There to help you escape And was I not there when the earth began to shake There just to keep you safe Was I not there when I told I needed you And you told me we're through And was I not there when you needed someone new To hand yourself over to Two of a hearts now oceans apart Maybe we'll heal but carry the scars It isn't easy, it's something we must do The meaning is found in the silence between the words No love and no lust, lets do what we must though it hurts Gone is the face of beauty I found in you Gone is the grace and gone are the days we knew Now here we stand, there is nothing left to burn And I'm out of cheeks to turn I have no more strength left to fight another day Have nothing left to say I hope you've found a girl who will stay until the end I hope you have found a friend But I still can't escape this feeling that I failed Though I know that we can't be saved I hope that she gives you all that you need And if I'm telling the truth I sometimes wish she was me But it is over, there's nothing we can do The meaning is found in the silence between the words No love and no lust, lets do what we must though it hurts Gone is the face of beauty I found in you Gone is the grace and gone are the days we knew I know it will take some time Before we both will be fine And though we go our separate ways The love is gone, the memory stays The meaning is found in the silence between the words No love and no lust, lets do what we must though it hurts Gone is the face of beauty I found in you Gone is the grace and gone are the days we knew The meaning is found in the silence between the words

Faster pace from systems running wild Floods of sweat keep on flowing while I try to hide Thinking feels like I'm walking on broken glass And the pain won't pass There are pills on my pillow There are ghosts in my head There's things lurking in the corners That'd be better left for dead Tell me how could I convince you Of the visions I've conceived I'm the modern day Cassandra Always heard but not believed Not even by me Where's the rescue, can't they hear my cries Trapped in an endless loop, no rhyme or reason why Breathing feels like there's a boulder inside my chest And I cannot rest There are pills on my pillow There are ghosts in my head There's things lurking in the corners That'd be better left for dead Tell me how could I convince you Of the visions I've conceived I'm the modern day Cassandra Always heard but not believed My head is a battlefield And here the good are losing My heart is a graveyard Where I lie going crazy Seconds turn to hours Hours turn to years Will I find my way back home Or stay in this vertigo There are pills on my pillow There are ghosts in my head There's things lurking in the corners That'd be better left for dead Tell me how could I convince you Of the visions I've conceived I'm the modern day Cassandra Always heard but not believed Not even by me

I have secrets to keep Flames that would need some tending And these hopeless delights They all have hopeless endings I do not know what less I could ask for So I will wait 'till whatever end If I cannot have you Then anyone will do You want me almost enough Almost enough to take me You gave a name to my greatest pain and now I will claim it to whatever end End is all that I need So grant me the rest I long for Take me for what I am For I cannot take this no more Love doesn't die unless I will kill it So I will go to whatever end I will burn all the hopes I was tending Keep on walking the road never-ending I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that I was not meant for someone like you Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white And the burden of you wouldn't be light And for all that I do I can't help it You will not fall for someone like me You come just like a storm And wrap me around your finger Add insult to my injury And watch how the pain doth linger You're still a thing to behold But I'm not the one to hold you Last time was the last time I'll leave like a thief, I have to Love doesn't die unless I will kill it So I will go to whatever end I will burn all the hopes I was tending Keep on walking the road never-ending I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that I was not meant for someone like you Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white And the burden of you wouldn't be light And for all that I do I can't help it You will not fall for someone like me You wouldn't hearken to my heart You wouldn't open your arms And I couldn't tear down all of your walls I couldn't shine in your dark I will burn all the hopes I was tending Keep on walking the road never-ending I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that I was not meant for someone like you Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white And the burden of you wouldn't be light And for all that I do I can't help it You will not fall for someone like me Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white And the burden of you wouldn't be light And for all that I do I can't help it You will not fall for someone like me

There are children who'll never be born There are souls that can never be saved There are dreams that will never come true So just pray it won't happen to you There are houses that shouldn't be built There are bridges that shouldn't be crossed There are calls that just shouldn't be made But we'll make them anyway We will walk among the weakest And we will walk alone The crucible where the hardest of hearts are forged Maybe we can keep on trying And one day we'll become Beautiful in the eyes of someone One day no child will be left behind One day no young boy will march to war One day no old man will die alone But that day is not today Step right in, here the souls become cynical Right this way to the end of our days We were told that the end would be beautiful No one told that the pallbearer walks alone There are thoughts that should never be thought There are things that should never be bought There are words that are better unsaid While our future it hangs by a thread There are things that should never be done There are wars that can never be won There are songs that shouldn't have to be sung And I guess this is one We will walk among the weakest And we will walk alone The crucible where the hardest of hearts are forged Maybe we can keep on trying And one day we'll become Beautiful in the eyes of someone One day we won't slay our brothers One day we won't hate each other One day we'll help one another But that day is not today Step right in, here the souls become cynical Right this way to the end of our days We were told that the end would be beautiful No one told that the pallbearer walks alone The pallbearer walks alone One day we won't slay our brothers One day we won't hate each other One day we'll help one another But that day is not today Step right in, here the souls become cynical Right this way to the end of our days We were told that the end would be beautiful No one told that the pallbearer walks alone The pallbearer walks alone

You inflict pain Pump it in my veins Then smile and watch me go insane My masochistic ways You know all to well So call it what you will A rose by any other name Is still a rose Get out of my head Get out of my bed Don't want you I'd rather be lonely Get out of my life Get out of my mind In your heart there Is only room for you Get out of my head I want you out of my bed Get out of my head A Slave you train of me A puppet on a string You want a pet, don't want a ring So this is how you play You speak, I obey Just call it what you will A rose by any other name Is still a rose Get out of my head Get out of my bed Don't want you I'd rather be lonely Get out of my life Get out of my mind In your heart there Is only room for you Get out of my head I want you out of my bed Get out of my head Breathe again Feel again Dream again Is all that I wish to do Free again Sane again Whole again Is all that I wish to be Get out of my head Get out of my bed Don't want you I'd rather be lonely Get out of my life Get out of my mind In your heart there Is only room for you Get out of my head I want you out of my bed Get out of my head Get out of my head
I have tried And I have failed you I am here but my love Lies somewhere else And I can't say I want to stay here anymore Who am I to challenge gods and their ways This is me, so hate me if you need If I had a heart It would surely break And if I could feel I would be ashamed If I had a heart I have sinned just to win all my life And I will hurt you, desert you this time again Face to face, skin to skin Can't feel a thing And I can't change I can't make you understand If I had a heart It would surely break And if I could feel I would be ashamed If I knew the words I'd apologise And if I were you I would walk away If I had a heart It would surely break

You must pay any price and You must bear any burden Now that you're here let me teach you A lesson in life Your every night is a fight for survival To pay any price, to bear any burden Now that you're here let me teach you A lesson in love You must crawl before you learn to walk But you wouldn't have it any other way You will learn what to burn, what to yearn And who to keep, who to leave You will learn when to turn When to run and when to hide, when to fight You will learn what to fix, what to break And who to love, who to hate You will learn what you are It will hurt but you will learn, you will learn Life is not fair and all heart's don't break even Wounds don't heal, the taste won't grow sweeter Now that you're here let me teach you A lesson in pain You will fall before you're standing tall But you would not have it any other way You will learn what to burn, what to yearn And who to keep, who to leave You will learn when to turn When to run and when to hide, when to fight You will learn what to fix, what to break And who to love, who to hate You will learn what you are It will hurt but you will learn, you will learn

Let's go back in time To when you were lying by my side There in that dingy hotel room Smelling of smoke and cheap perfume Where you would go out for a cigar While I was there tuning my guitar And you'd come see me as I play Later we'd drink the night away For all the places I have been And all the people I have seen Only with you it felt like home Like I was not here all alone But still the lights were shining bright The bus was right on time And I had to go That was long ago Sometimes when the things are moving slow I wonder if you still think of me Of where I am and how I've been Am I in England or Japan Am I being good or being bad I could be boarding on a plane I could be wasting life away For all the places I have been And all the people I have seen Only with you it felt like home Like I was not here all alone But still the lights are shining bright The bus is right on time And I have to go
