Him - Tears On Tape Album Lyrics

Unleash The Red

[Instrumental]

All Lips Go Blue

Hear the silence sigh its song
Of moments of calm before the storm
My heart so violently beats along
Leaving me to want to end it all

I weep for the dream in a grave
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue

I read the words on torn down walls
Reminding me how much I love you

I weep for the dream in a grave
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
I leave bleeding yet another day
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
It's all for you
Blue, blue, blue
It's all for you

I weep for the dream in a grave
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
I leave bleeding yet another day
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
It's all for you
Blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue
It's all for you
Blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue
It's all for you

And the silence sighs its song.

Love Without Tears

As the light across the room flickers its dying song
Waiting for a reason to keep going on (on)
The sweetest wine has now turned bitter by these thoughts,
So I wander the dark of my own

I should've known all along
That love without tears
Is just a story told to keep us hanging on
In the cold all alone
Bathing in fear
I sing
Love without tears, love without tears

A ghost residing here,
A boy who can’t let go
Won't take "No" for an answer
Crying his song

I should've known all along
That love without tears
Is just a story told to keep us hanging on
In the cold all alone
Bathing in fear
I sing
Love without tears, love without tears
Go on and prove me wrong

I should've known all along
That love without tears
Is just a story told to keep us hanging on
In the cold all alone
Bathing in fear
I sing
Love without tears, love without tears
Go on and prove me wrong
Love without tears, love without tears
Please let me be so wrong

I Will Be The End Of You

Cold underneath the starry night
Breathing in everything but air
See as the fiery light dies in your eyes
Oh, you're leaving

Love's screaming,
"I will be the end of you."
And I'm pleading,
"Don't you stop, now."
Go on and tear me apart
Show me all you have got
And I will be so free

Hear the cries of the stormy skies
Letting go of all the tears held in
Waiting for that shadow to smile
And realize you're nowhere near me

Love's screaming,
"I will be the end of you."
And I'm pleading,
"Don't you stop, now."
Go on and tear me apart
Show me all you have got
And I will be (I will be) so free
From all that has been

Love's screaming,
"I will be the end of you."
And I'm pleading,
"Don't you stop, now."
Go on and tear me apart (tear me apart)
Show me all you have got (show me all you've got)
We will be so free
From all that has been
So free from all that we've seen
So free

Tears On Tape

[Valo, Ville Hermanni]

Church bells toll
Thunder roars around me
I’ve been warned to prepare myself for the fall

I’m armed to the teeth with tender pain
Of all yesterdays

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar

Tears on tape
She surrenders, needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

Darkness falls
Settling the score with love for once and for all
Soaked in blood

I cry my farewells to the summer rain
Lonely and afraid

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar

Tears on tape
She surrenders, needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

And for a moment there’s no pain
For once there’s no more pain in your eyes
But maybe a little love
Just enough to convince us to keep breathing on

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your arms

Into The Night

[Valo, Ville Hermanni]

Trapped in autumn, buried 'neath the leaves
To the echo of the summer softly weeping
Sinking further in this sanguinary sea
Painting pain with pastels through her cemetery eyes

[Chorus:]
Into the night
We ride,
Scars wide open
Into the night (into the night),
You and I
Torn and broken
Bleed into the night

Blinded by the sun's brightest rays
Radiating from the sharpened razor blade (razor blades)
Side by side; darkness and light
Play their games so unafraid,
Their heart beats synchronized
(We're engulfed in fire)

[Chorus:]
Into the night
We ride,
Scars wide open
Into the night
You and I
Torn and broken
Bleed into the night and I'll meet you there

Waiting for the world to end
Oh, let it end again

[Chorus:]
Into the night
We ride,
Scars wide open
Into the night,
You and I
Torn and broken
Bleed into the night (into the night, into the night),
Arms wide open

Will you meet me there?

Hearts At War

So, after all that we have done
Are you feeling cold like the winter sun?
And have you thought about all the words that we left unsaid?
Don't be scared
(You shouldn't be)

Hearts at war drunk on dreams
Of all that's been lost,
Now let them bleed
Just let them...

Run away as far as you can
And hide behind all the promises
But I'll find you, 'cause you are a fire
And I'm the rain,
Don't be afraid
(It would be a shame)

Hearts at war drunk on dreams
Of all that's been lost,
Now let them bleed.
Hearts at war for thing called love
And there's no escaping
What we have brought upon ourselves again?

Hearts at war drunk on dreams
Of all that's been lost,
Now let them bleed
Hearts at war for thing called love
And there is no escaping
What we have brought upon ourselves again?

There's no way out, baby
We brought this upon ourselves again

Trapped In Autumn

No Love

Forever and ever!

Shadows grow taller
And I'm sleeping on my scars
Lonely, I hold her
And crave for your warmth
(And her touch)

There's no love
No love will be enough for what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end of this dreaming of you

Hell is freezing over
And the light is long gone
And I wonder where you are

There's no love
No love will be enough for what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end of this dreaming of you

We're the stars in the drawing of the flame
Making love to the rain

There's no love
No love will be enough for what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end of this dreaming of you
This dreaming of you
Forever and ever

Drawn & Quartered

We could be like all the others
With nowhere to go
Paint ourselves into a corner with hope
This could be the end of everything we're afraid of of a dream of one

[Chorus:]
Let’s hold these hearts for one another
It’s worth all wounds, it must be
If I’m drawn and quartered
It’s only for you
Shall we hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue?

So why won’t you (why won’t you) been waiting for you (waiting for you)?
So why won’t you go on and run?

Every part of me wants to believe
There’s a darkness we need to feel
For the brightest light to be seen and felt inside
Only because of you

[Chorus:]
Let’s hold these hearts for one another
It’s worth all wounds, it must be
If I’m drawn and quartered
It’s only for you
Shall we hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue?

So why won’t you (why won’t you) been watching to (waiting to)?
So why won’t you go on and run?

Why won’t you go on and run with them?
Run away, go on and run away
And I’ll stay yours
Drawn and quartered [3x]
For you

It’s all I can do.

My baby, hold that thought now and forever in all shades of blue
Why won’t you?
I’ll wait for you
So why won’t you
Go on and run?
Why won’t you
Go on and run?
So why won’t you
Go on and run?
Go on and run away.

Hold these hearts for one another
Hold these thoughts now and forever
We'll be always

When Love Starts To Die

I kissed the void and crawled straight into its heart
Disowning all I adore
I pray to hear again that serpent song
Wishing it would be over

When love starts to die
It begins with a kiss
Violently soothing and warm
When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I (so do I)
So do I
That’s right

My foot firmly in heartache's door
Still waiting for your call

When love starts to die
It begins with a kiss
Violently soothing and warm
When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I (so do I)

Ooh, ooh
Your words tickle like angel's wings clipped

When love starts to die
It begins with a kiss
Violently soothing and warm
When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I (so do I)
So I die
I die

When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I
