The Temper Trap - Science of Fear

breaks on
breaks on
the car is running empty
breaks on breaks on
the car is runnin' empty
downhill
head on
this crash is comin' slowly
downhill
head on
this crash is comin' slowly
move
or watch the slow death of your way of life

there's a science to fear
it plagues my mind
and it keeps us right here
and it keeps us here

my ears
my eyes
my brain is slowly bustin'
black smoke
red sky
the television's sayin'
downhill
head on another crash is comin'
downhill
head on another crash is comin'
move
or watch the murder of you way of life

there's a science to fear
it plagues my mind
and it keeps us right here
and the less we know
the more we sit still
my baby's stuck on a road
that leads to nowhere
nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

breaks on
breaks on
breaks on
breaks on
breaks on
there's a science to fear
it plagues my mind
and it keeps us right here
and the less we know
the more we sit still, sit still
my baby's stuck on a road
that leads to nowhere
nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

The Temper Trap - Everybody Leaves In The End

Do you remember when you were young

Chasing clouds down the rivers

Catching birds in the sun

You have surrendered life's better hours

In the deep lies your freedom

In the stars is your home

As we gather to see you go

Flowers scatter to let you know

Sons of the mountains cry in the vials

Warm and tender in her arms

So you'll stay though you're gone

As we gather to say goodbye

Until we see your face again

But seasons come you're going soon

Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember, do you remember

No one way, no one can ever walk like you again

All the names left behind

Are standing mirrors of your eyes

No one will, not one name

Shall replace the wars that came

Held you tight, we held you tight

Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember?

The Temper Trap - Tombstone

Lions all around me

Truth can be lies and the devil don't want you free

Can anybody be

My mind wanders around

Though I'm caged oh let me out

Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares

There were so many words I should've never kept

And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

And I'll cut you free

And oh, as we stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling, we're howling for you

We're howling for you

I saw what you saw but there was something else

You know your love has bound your feet

And you're casting shadows to deceive me

I never knew how it could be

I took a lot, I took once more

I want to do something to show you to me

Cause you know that no one really knows me

And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

And I'll cut you free

And oh, as I stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling, we're howling for you

We're howling for you

Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares

There were so many words I should've never kept

I'll cut you free, I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free, I'll cut you free

And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

And oh, I stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling, we're howling for you

We're howling for you

Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares

There were so many words I should've never kept

The Temper Trap - Riverina

Driving out to nowhere
Driving out to nowhere
Days have lost their magic
And I just don't care

Anymore, a-ny-more

Stuck in automatic
I get lost in traffic
Starin' in the mirror
At an invisible man

Woah, I used to know, where did he go

Oh, Riverina
I was calling to ya
From the end of my road
When they played you on the radio, the radio

Oh, Riverina
Everyone can hear ya
But I bet that you don't know
How you saved me on the radio, the radio

Seven in the morning
In another ghost town
Wonderin' if you're out there
And if you are did you wait, around
To take me home, take me home

Oh, Riverina
I was calling to ya
From the end of my road
When they played you on the radio, the radio

Oh, Riverina
Everyone can hear ya
But I bet that you don't know
How you saved me on the radio, the radio

Oh, Riverina
I was calling to ya
From the end of my road
When they played you on the radio, the radio

Oh, Riverina
Everyone can hear ya
But I bet that you don't know
How you saved me on the radio, the radio

The Temper Trap - Lost

Fade away lets get lost
You don't have to worry baby
Let's get lost
Slip away it's just us
You don't have to worry baby
Let's get lost

And when the well is drying up
To the bones
To the very last drop
There's no one left
That's on our side

Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
When it all comes crashing down
And our lives
Are buried underground
Still nothing in the world
Can tear us apart

Break away let's get lost
Something's in me calling lately
I hear it loud
So give tonight one more try
Because nothing lasts forever baby
So let's get lost

And when the streets
Are emptied out
We lose our way
Walking into the dark
The cross we bear
Is all we've got

Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
When it all comes crashing down
And our lives
Are buried underground
Still nothing in the world
Can tear us apart

Times can get lonely
Out in the cold
As long as you're near me
I need you to know

Tear us apart
Tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
When it all comes crashing down
And our lives
Are buried underground
Still nothing in the world
Can tear us apart

Fade away let's get lost
You don't have to worry baby
Let's get lost
Let's get lost

The Temper Trap - Trembling Hands

Treading the ground
I once used to know
People are strangers
Same as before
Streets look familiar
I remember the part
Where I buried my head
So deep in my hands
All around me was dark

This here city
Is for the lonely ones
Won't find no angels
Selling maps to the lost
This here place
Is too small for two
It took one to realize
When dreaming's this hard
It's not meant to come true

So throw me a line
Somebody out there help me
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Throw me a line
Afraid that I have come here
To win you again
With trembling hands

Passing the days
Looking over the buildings
Time seems to stop
While the millions keep moving
Now here I am
I'm a drop in your ocean
Noise in the crowd
Pushing through your halls of reason

Ohh

So throw me a line
Somebody out there help me
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Throw me a line
Afraid that I have come here
To win you again
With trembling hands

Hear me now make me whole
Hear me now make me whole

So throw me a line
Somebody out there help me
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Throw me a line
Afraid that I have come here
To win you again
With trembling hands
With trembling hands

There goes the ending
It left me in the war
But I tried everything yeah
I am done with my part

The Temper Trap - Burn

I don't sleep well
Under your spell
I'm told that people go
But still the night suffers
Your flame smaller
That face I just had to know
Know for sure

So what's the point in starting
Something that will crash and end
I could never tell

You got to burn burn burn baby
Once a while
You got to burn burn burn
Just to feel alive

They broke your crown
Set loose their hounds
On your tattered bones
Not a sound drew from your lips
As you got your fix
What holy pleasure of the damned
Is this

And our repentant hearts
Breaking on its knees again
We are drowning men

Singing burn burn burn baby
Once awhile
You got to burn burn burn
Just to feel alive

How can we know light without
Walking in the dark
There would be no spark

Singing burn
There would be no spark
Singing burn
There would be no spark

You got to burn burn burn baby
Once awhile
You got to burn and burn
Burn just to feel alive

The Temper Trap - Love Lost

Our love was lost
But now we've found it
Our love was lost
And hope was gone

Our love was lost
But now we've found it
And if you flash your heart
I won't deny it
I promise

I promise

Your walls are up
Too cold to touch it
Your walls are up
Too high to climb

I know it's hard
But I can still hear it beating
So if you flash your heart
I won't mistreat it
I promise

I promise

Our love was lost
In the rubble are all the things
That you've, you've been dreaming of
Keep me in mind
When you're ready
I am here
To take you every time

Oh our love was lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost....
Our love was lost
But now it's found

The Temper Trap - I'm Gonna Wait

Way down
In a not so distant place
Your ghost is lingering
Still frames remembering
The way we were

Way down
I see reflections in the well
A distant haunting bell
Resounding every time
I touch you in my mind

Helpless
Prayers cannot speed the time
Nor heaven change the mind
Left to our own device
We set this bridge alight

One day
You may not know it yet
But this you won't forget
I was the one who came
Running back again

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

My arms
Are reaching out to you
Each time I think of you
The floodgates open
And I'm left drowning in

All hope
It lingers in my sleep
May you return to me
Not to possess
But to hold you in my keep

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

And so the last page shall remain
Empty until we write the rest
Yes some may say that I'm a fool
A fool for waiting for you

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
(I'll be a fool, a fool waiting for you)
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
(When you come calling, I'll be here still waiting for you)
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna,
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna,
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

The Temper Trap - Dreams

One hand holds another
Tangled fingers tell a tale
I know every single
Line across your face so well
We don't wanna
We don't wanna
Wanna walk alone forever
We don't wanna
Live without each other in the end

Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
We follow

One hand breaks another
Broken bones can always mend
Loss will be the blessing
That will turn us back again
But we don't wanna
We don't wanna
We don't wanna
Wanna walk alone forever
We don't wanna
Be without each other in the end

Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
Where our dreams go
(oooh where our dreams go, wherever it may take us, there we will follow)

Where our dreams go, where our dreams go, where our dreams go, where our dreams go, where our dreams go,
(Where our dreams go, ooooh where our dreams go, wherever it may take us, there we will follow)

The Temper Trap - Down River

Finally we have seen some things
Some awfully nice
Some dreadfully bad
But we will sing
Wash the blood off our knees
Cause our love breaks through rough seas our ship will sail
And I don't understand how this world would work
Cause time will tell us nothing
I'll take a chance on something

Feeling old, feelings this time take you
Down river, down river, down river, down
Walk these stairs, put the pieces back together
Go don't stop, go don't stop, go don't stop now, go

Finally, we have seen some things
But bells in your hallways
Don't move you in the right place
So we will sing, cast our hopes out to sea
Though our hearts break, through violent winds our ship will sail
And I don't understand how this world would work
Cause time will tell us nothing
I'll take a chance on something

Feeling old, feelings this time take you
Down river, down river, down river, down
Walk these stairs, put the pieces back together
Go don't stop, go don't stop, go don't stop
Go don't stop now, go....

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one's watching you
A moment
A love
A dream
Aloud
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
Aloud
A moment a
A love
A dream
Aloud

So stay there
Cause i'll be coming over
And while our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
And won't stop til it's over
Won't stop to surrender
