Blackfield II

Where Is My Love?
Endless fields of emptiness
In my dark and wounded heart
Where is my love?
Where is my love?
The freezing moment when you turned your head
And waved goodbye
Where is my love? Where is my love?
Even all the darkest storms can't take my pain away
Where is my love?
Noisy happy people crossing streets from side to side
Where is my love?
I gave you everything I could
But you want the stars
Where is my love?
Where is my love?
Endless fields of emptiness
In my dark and wounded heart
Where is my love?
Where is my love?
Even all the darkest storms can't take my pain away
Where is my love?
Noisy happy people crossing streets from side to side
Where is my love?
So where is my love?

Once
Want you to know
That I could let you go
Any time
I want you to know

Gave me her lips
Gave me her perfect hips

And I slow down

I slow down in love
Once I rise inside

Once she would hold me
She was my only
Only to love
Once she had told me
Cannot hold me
Hold me so long

She'll stay all night
She'll be so quiet
And she won’t
Laugh at my jokes

Once I rise inside

Once she would hold me
She was my only
Only to love
Once she had told me
Better hold me
Hold me so long

1000 People
A 1000 people yell
Shouting my name
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die

And a 1000 people smile
They’re smiling at me
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die

No way to understand
Why I’ve become the way I am
And when the sky filled with stars
I find a place inside my heart

Some people can take a blow
And they won’t ever drop
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die

She will tell me she loves me
And she won’t ever stop
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die

A coldness in my soul
And I reach out for her to hold
And then I watch her close her eyes
It’s only me that needs to cry
And if I stay with you
Do you believe that I’ll pull through?

No way to understand
Why I’ve become the way I am
And when the sky filled with stars
I find a place inside my heart

And then I watch her close her eyes
Its only me that needs to cry

A 1000 people yell
There shouting my name
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die...

Miss U
They said you’re in love again
And I try to hide my pain
I was buried in my bed
With your pictures in my head

You’re living another life
It cuts me like a knife
I hope you understand
I’m the one who’s left behind

Tomorrow you’ll be gone
And I’ll miss you
Yeah I’ll miss you
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
And I’ll miss you
Yeah I’ll miss you

They said you’re in love again
And my eyes start to burn
Wherever you are now
I wish you could hear my silent sigh
It’s not that I try to blame
It’s just kind of grainy day
I hope you understand
I’m the one who’s left behind

Tomorrow you’ll be gone
And I’ll miss you
Yeah I’ll miss you
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
And I’ll miss you
Yeah I’ll miss you

Christenings
I met you in a record store
You had slept in the clothes you wore
But I knew I’d seen you somewhere before

What happened to your guitar
What happened to the prettiest star
Can you still play the songs that got you so far

Hey you with your shadow in the gutter
How low have you gotta go before you’re through
High times and vodka in the morning
All your memories are coming out of your shoes
Black dog sitting in the park
Odd looks from the mothers of the devils own
Shoplifting getting your essentials
Gatecrashing christening and funerals
And weddings too...

I used to see you all the time on MTV
Read your life story in a magazine
I guess you thought that’s the way it would always be
But I believe in you
Cause I think that you want me to
Though I never really liked your songs it’s true

Hey you with your shadow in the gutter
How low have you gotta go before you’re through
High times and vodka in the morning
All your memories are coming out of your shoes
Black dog sitting in the park
Odd looks from the mothers of the devils own
Shoplifting getting your essentials
Gatecrashing, christening and funerals
And weddings too...

This Killer
Don’t leave the door ajar
Don’t walk away
Don’t leave me in the dark
You think you know me well
It makes me laugh
Cause I don’t know myself

This killer on the run
He steals from me the sun
He’ll catch me off my guard
He likes me when I’m down or when I’m sad
Falling man
Falling man

Its always me alone hears the noise
Cos it’s my inner voice
So stay inside your home
And hide away
Before I lose control

This killer on the run
He steals from me the sun
He’ll catch me off my guard
He likes me when I’m down or when I’m sad
Falling man
Falling man
This killer on the run
He steals from me the sun
And I can say I know him
And so can he
Because it’s me
He is me
He is me

Epidemic
Don’t say everything’s okay
Don’t tell me that it’s just a phase
It doesn’t help me...
All the stars are standing still
The anger and the sleeping pills
Are all that’s left now...

An epidemic in my heart
Takes hold and slowly poisons me
Her will won't let me breath
It comes in waves and bleeds me dry
This love is slowly killing me
For me, there's no-one else

Jealousy just eats me up
Your knife has made the deepest cut
My heart is open
You say that there must be an end
But afterwards we’ll still be friends
It seems so easy...

An epidemic in my heart
Takes hold and slowly poisons me
Her will, won't let me breath
It comes in waves and bleeds me dry
This love is slowly killing me
For me, there's no-one else

Don’t say everything’s okay
Don’t tell me that it’s just a phase
It doesn’t help me...

My Gift Of Silence
If I compiled all my crimes and my lies
Into amnesty would you come back to me?
The smile on my lips is a sign
That I don’t hear you leaving me
And I don’t hear my own soul scream
I’ll read your lips
Watch a scarf
Play at your hips
And I know it’s true
But I don’t hear him call to you

Don’t blame yourself
Don’t change yourself
Just wanna be
Over you see
And feel numb

Don’t hate yourself

If I compiled all my crimes and my lies
Into amnesty won’t you come back to me?
The smile on my lips is a sign
That I don’t hear you leaving me
And I don’t hear my own soul scream

Don’t blame yourself
Don’t change yourself
Just wanna be
Over you see
And feel numb
Don’t hate yourself

Someday
When you where a boy
You had no place inside your parents world
Your were falling like the leaves
From an old and dying tree
You went to school
But the teachers made you feel a fool
While the children played with joy
You’re the one they would avoid

Some day
You will find a better place to stay
You’ll never feel this way again again again

Show a smile
They’d like to have you in their members club
They’ll buy you drinks and tell you lies
Paper umbrella with some ice
No one cares
About that fucking pretty face you have
It means nothing much this life
So find the highest cliff and dive

Some day
You will find a better place to stay
You’ll never feel this way again again again

End Of The World
Don’t you forget what I’ve told you
So many years
We are hopeless and slaves to our fears
We’re an accident called human beings
Don’t be angry for loving me baby
And say it’s unreal
So many lies turned to songs
Like roses who are hiding their thorns

It’s the end of the world
The end of the world
It’s a prison for dreams and for hopes
But still we believe there is God
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world
We’re dead
But pretend we’re alive
Full of ignorance
Fools in disguise

In your room doing nothing but staring
At flickering screens
Streets are empty but still you can hear
Joy of children will turn into tears
Disease hides around every corner
Quietly still
Wait for the moment to heal
We forgot what is touch, what to feel

It’s the end of the world
The end of the world
It’s a prison for dreams and for hopes
But still we believe there is God
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world
We’re dead
But pretend we’re alive
Full of ignorance
Fools in disguise

Take this pill
It will make you feel dizzy
And then give wings
Soon boy you fall into sleep
Without nightmares
Without any fears
If you wake up in hell or in heaven
Tell the angels we’re here
Waiting below for a dream
Here in the garden of sin

It’s the end of the world...
