The Haunting (feat. Kate Westfall) 08:42
lyrics
The Haunting Lyrics by Charles Blackwell I don't want to lose you but i can't go on this way something has got to change i can deal with independence as long as it doesn't hurt me is that strange ? I know that i love you but somehow it's not fair to know just what you're doing to me and i wonder if you really care... I'm haunted at night when rest won't come i'm haunted by day when fear stands in my way i pray it's just a nightmare when i wake to find you gone but i don't know how to say it you make me feel so wrong Tender eyes then full of fire visions wrap around my throat choking curses weeping promises tearful eyes of lovers sweet night sighs electrified security together? Does it last but a very short time while the haunting lasts forever ? I don't want to hurt you but the memory's too clear just something that i fear i can't fight off the past as long as i do it my way do you understand? The demon now is in me patience is what i need i don't mean to place all the blame on you stand by me help me through... I'm haunted at night when rest won't come haunted by day paralyzed by doubt i pray it's just a nightmare when i wake to find you gone but i don't know how to beat this the healing takes so long. Tender eyes then full of fire visions tightening their grip choking curses screetching alibis all goodbyes of lovers sweet night's sighs passion's dark cries immunity together? Does it last but a very short time while the haunting last forever ?

Twisting the Knife lyrics by Chuck Blackwell Anywhere I turn Things keep drifting at me No classic escape I’m looking so wrecked as you well may see This sadistic delight I have no more fight With which you’re torturing me So it seems you just keep on Twisting the knife in me It feels like you just keep on Twisting the knife in me Everywhere I look The memories keep following me No strategy sound Enough to defend my heart once set free With a cannibal’s might You’re trying to devour me I have no more fight But you keep on Twisting the knife in me So it seems you just keep on Twisting the knife in me It feels like you just keep on Twisting, Twisting the knife in me Nowhere left to learn Those pages and my bridge Now are all burned, can’t you see No mystic reprieve My sins are swallowing me, swallowing me Why try to hold me so tight Why you trying to smother me When I have no more fight you keep on twisting the knife in me So it seems you just keep on Twisting the knife in me It feels like you just keep on Twisting the knife in me

Everytime It Rains Lyrics by Chuck Blackwell I felt the spark when you touched me on the dance floor Saw you jump when I nodded towards the side door Every pose was a signal that you wanted so much more You were readin’ my mind Chemicals surging overtime Whisper your secrets and I’ll whisper mine Trade them for a little private time You were readin’ my mind Our bodies syncing up – yours and mine Oh Oh Oh nooo Now every time it rains You’re here in my head Every time it rains You whisper in my head Still every time it rains, it’s the same You monopolize my brain Haunt me like a criminal One driven half insane Now every time it rains Do I feel a hesitation? To set your snare The proper motivation Do you want a trophy Or just one more conquest I was calling the move Slidin’ up on that building groove Whisper your secrets and I’ll whisper mine Trade them for a little private time I was readin’ your mind Ride the wave, so sublime Oh Oh Oh nooo Now every time it rains You’re here in my head

lyrics
SUMMONED Lyrics by Chuck Blackwell DO YOU STILL DREAM OF ME? DO YOU STILL WAKE AND SCREAM FOR ME? I SHARE YOUR BREATH INHALE THE SMOKE OF YOUR LAST CIGARETTE JUST A SOFT TOUCH OF YOUR LIPS YOU TASTE OF ABSINTHE THE ABSENCE OF EMOTION BETRAYED BY YOUR EYES A SCENT LIKE STAIN ROLLING OFF YOUR SKIN IS THIS GOODBYE? IS THIS GOODBYE? I HARM MYSELF BY CUTS DESIGNED A SIMPLE PLOY FOR SOME REPLY but CAN I FORCE A TEAR OF PITY WRENCH A LAST ROMANTIC NIGHT IS THIS GOODBYE? TELL ME NOW, IS THIS GOODBYE? DO YOU STILL DREAM OF ME? DO YOU STILL WAKE AND REACH FOR ME? OH I HEAR YOU CALLING SHOULD I RUSH TO YOUR SIDE? DID YOU SUMMON ME? TO ONCE MORE JUST CAST ME ASIDE? DID I HOLD TIGHT A FATAL MOVE BRANDED BY WORDS INSINCERE I BLIND MY EYES SO LIKE MY DISABLED MIND VISIONS HAUNT ME--- DAMN MY EARS IS THIS GOODBYE? TELL ME NOW, IS THIS GOODBYE? OH I HEAR YOU CALLING SHOULD I RUSH TO YOUR SIDE? DID YOU SUMMON ME? TO ONCE MORE JUST CAST ME ASIDE? OH I HEAR YOU CALLING SHOULD I RUSH TO YOUR SIDE? DID YOU SUMMON ME? TO ONCE MORE JUST CAST ME ASIDE?
