MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER LYRICS

1. In Dead We Dream

take me under, it feels so good to be so low
and I can't get over, still trying to learn how to let you go

I can't go back when life did not exist
is this the end?
these highway lines & dying rooms
they took the most out of me

hate you, hate me, sorry you got the best of me
break loose, I'm free: you won't be the one to bury me
the roles you play tell them you're okay
and kill the lights inside of me

all hail the queen!
it was you that sent me to this place
I'm just a passing shadow
so alone and I can't get close to you

2. Save Me

into the night burning so bright: no one is safe
into the fire feeling the high
well no one is safe, you're all the same

save me, something inside of me is changing
I feel it taking a part of me is slowly fading
the voice says found me another one

am I alone tonight, I hear a voice inside
it's preying on my mind: the fear has spoken

it's running through my veins, there's no saving me
can't hide to survive: the curse is coiling

3. Faith Healer (Bring Me Down)

what have you done to make me completely lose my mind
I'm just a wreck without you, a requiem to lead the blind
innocence is walking out tonight
we're arm in arm and waiting here to die

lay your hands upon my shoulders, lay your hands across my brow
give me something to believe in right before you bring me down
make me want to sing with angels until my faith has all run out

no sympathy can find me
lost like a stranger in these clothes
all pump & celebration, you lie enough to keep me close
oh scrapes and cuts like paper cups we fold
with looks that kill to heal the broken bones

I never wanted a war
I just wanted to believe in something more
just before I let go I need to know if you're close

4. Open Your Eyes

I try to reach but I don't know why
you lie to me in the fear of the night
I'm not the one that you believe in
I can never put the fear inside of the pain

I'm not the savior that you've become
I'm not the fear, I'm the only one
I don't believe you're the only one

open your eyes! can you see I am inside of you?
can you feel me in your veins? watch me take it all away…

what's in your head? I don't know how
you scream at me without making a sound
and in this moment I am guiltless
but I promise you will feel this inside of your veins

you will love the way it feels to believe in nothing
you won't tell me when you've had enough, I'll tell you

5. Killing Me Slow

into the darkness dancing in flames
you and disaster are one and the same
professional victim, a beautiful thief
disguising with laughter what's dead underneath
born to be your enemy, hold onto what's left
dying to get rid of me, I've unlocked the door to hell

killing me slow
come on you're bleeding me out until there's nothing
don't let go, leave me cold, all night long
you love to hurt the ones that you love
you know you're killing me slow

innocent bastard so eager & young
nothing can please you, it's never enough
so twist a little tighter cause I can still breathe
still waiting for the ending, my only relief
sleeping with the enemy ashamed of myself
dying to get rid of me, on and on it never ends

I just can't get you off my mind
everybody knows that I'm over you
I told myself a thousand times
everybody knows that I'm over you but me
everybody knows but me
it goes on and on, it never ends

6. Taking On Water

feels like I'm just walking blind
will these empty eyes see you again
mistakes sent you down that road
to face the nightmares on your own

running away from all the feelings inside
holding my heart in hopes that yesterday lied
I reach for hope and try to survive
because I'm taking on water tonight

looking back on all we had
did we ever even have a chance?
all the notes left by your side
are the reasons you can't sleep at night

trying to run down the days so I can find an end to the race
in time maybe I can find a better way to let it go

7. Fate Games

I've been taking my chances, living life on the wire
and everything in between and it's caught up to me

come and take me away, angels singing my name
the final march still awaits, fate has taken its place

all my heroes are shadows
will our end be the same, will I follow their lead?
these walls are coming down, they're closing in on me

misery is all that I've found
there's no way out: it's coming down on me

8. Come For You

turn the page and turn away
left the broken pieces where they lay
all the nights you laid awake
planning your escape and no one ever came
it's 2 AM and you missed the call
you've been climbing up and down the walls
for a friend that means the most
killing all your hopes of ever being more

whenever you're about to break you never have to be afraid
baby I will come for you, comfort you, carry you home
when you're in your darkest days, even when you lost your way
baby I will come for you, comfort you, carry you all the way

watch and wait, hesitate
the more I push the more you separate
I would walk the ends of Earth
just to set you free from the misery you've made

so you've made regrets that you can't forget
baby I will come for you, comfort you, carry you home
when you find yourself when there's no one else that's around

9. Never Enough

well I just don't understand why you couldn't let it in
did I try my best for nothing, well I hope you got your fix

now I'm sick of all the reasons I just can't let it go
I get caught up in the feeling well by now you think I'd know

every time I fell into pieces
you were always the last one found
all the moments I gave to fixing you
was never enough somehow/were turning me inside out
so was it worth it, did I deserve it?

you hurt me cause it felt right, you hurt me for control
so I lied and said that I'm fine and I left you with the ropes

10. Cat's Walk

I got an itch burning up my skin, I feel the twitch now
and she stares at me, it's got me going
I can feel my blood boiling, yeah I know where she's going

way down back in the woods
when they find you were up to no good
caught a glimpse of the devil's eye
cause what I'm about to do is gonna make your momma cry

I feel the weight of my sins never gave the girl a chance
she struck me with those eyes
I took my lover with a hammer and now she doesn't matter

can you hear 'em coming now? yeah well here they come now

11. Drought Of '85

what if this all was the end
and everything you've known was wrong
what if we'd all been convinced there was still room for the lost?

well if heaven's a mystery and god stopped believing
would we belong here anymore?
and if no one had answers and love had no meaning
then what the hell are we fighting for?
would we all just be strangers knocking on empty doors?
we'd all just be strangers knocking on empty doors…

was it a part of the plan to be the anchor of man?
what if the pages of time were full of fiction & lies?

12. Off To The Laughing Place

[Instrumental]

13. Carry Us Away

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

dreams of swinging in the wind, the fear of what's beneath
has you shaking in your soul, the echo of defeat
the choice you make, this life to take, I swear it is the end
god will put us in our place, I swear it is the end

as the leaves start to change and the people stop to pray
end it all, end today and carry us away

when I'm gone I'll set you free from my disease
winter has come to take me home, death loves the weak
the choice I make, this life to take, I swear it is the end
god will put us in our place, I swear it is the end

give and sing oh praise the lord free from all his scars
your sons & daughters will never know it's you that killed my heart
