2 AM Thursday and you're why I'm up

Without you, my heart is old Pete's broken cup

To pay you back, I can't think how

My thanks and this will do for now

*Interlude*

If your mind falls short, then heed your heart

A happy ending needs no happy start

To thine own self be true

Let none at all to govern you

Know no fear and fear no pain

Be resolved, or this life will drive you insane

No matter how dim the world may be

It can never get near as dark as me

*Chorus:*

So give me a guitar that's blacker than midnight

Ill sing you the stars and the silver full moonlight

Never say that you're alone

Just come find me

And you'll be home

*Bridge:*

There are times, there are times when I just want to give in

Go to sleep, close my eyes and never open them again

I'm too damn far gone for me to try to save me

And that's when its clear - you alone hold the key -

*Repeat Chorus*

There's so much love inside you dear

Enough to cry or dry ten million tears

It burns so bright, it sears your soul

Surprised my own's not black as coal

When you lose your way, take a breath and know

Your heart will lead you where you need to go

Sometimes I can't see where I'm headed to

But that means shit when I'm with you

*A hugely majestic electric solo would go nicely here, but probably just Outro*

Spiral

*Intro: Chorus Sans Lyrics, Modified*

I've gotten rather jaded, twenty years of learning everything firsthand

Looking for good love has been like searching for a diamond in the sand

And now I've chanced upon the purest jewel that God has ever made

Now will I have to watch her slip away

*Chorus:*

I'm spinning down

And as it rushes faster past me all I see amidst the blur is two bright eyes

Turned upside down

And as the world around me turns I can discern the only truth among the lies

Now on the day that I first met her I was younger and naïver than today

But I knew that I would not forget her, even if this nasty world should have its way

It's kinda scary thinking that without her, my poor heart might never rest

And now she's all that I can think about and my life... is... a... motherfucking mess

*Chorus*

Even though I know I'll miss her, I'll take comfort knowing that she's still alive

But when I think I'll never kiss her, then my mind starts down that bright chaotic dive

Now all thats left for me is just to see if there are any left like her

But in the oh-so-scary meantime I'll try and keep my feet amidst this whirling blur

*Bridge:*

My world

Is collapsing around me and I

Can't keep it together

The ground

Splits and crumbles beneath me and I

Find I'm falling forever

[Segue into Chorus]

Down

*Chorus*

----------

Ignite

Take a breath now

I've had to cover the flame

for long enough now

But it's the end of the game

High time I showed you what you thought wasn't here

Now don't be scared, come closer, and lend me your ear

Just a glimpse, of course,

but deep inside the real me

Now do your best not to be scared

by what you're going to see

Because you know I want so badly to show

that side of me that as of now only angels and devils know

See that glow beyond the darkness?

Shouldn't come as a surprise

Cause you can hear it in my fingertips

and see it in my eyes

Fire, fire everywhere, ain't it a beautiful sight?

Now take a big step back... and watch it all ignite

*Guitar Solo*

[Yeah, I know, this is kind of worthless if you can't hear the guitar solo... I'll try to get it here soon]
