Hid you on the mountain on a warm sunny day How was I to know that your body would fade That’s love Pulled you from the trunk under fairytale stars Wonder if the cops saw me get this far Is that love I always know where to find you Pick the perfect place to hide you Hear the train as I’m deep inside you Ahhh, ahhh And it sounds just like you I did not expect a civilian To see that I’m one in a million That’s love It started with dogs and it ended with you Off the interstate with the prettiest view That’s love I’ll keep coming ‘til you turn to dust They don’t understand that it’s more than lust Is that love I always know where to find you Pick the perfect place to hide you Hear the train as I’m deep inside you Life was sweet, it was just trick or treat With the boys and the girls Just a hole where there once was a soul And a song But it’s gone I always know where to find you Pick the perfect place to hide you Hear the train as I’m deep inside you And it sounds just like you

3.	Death (Always in Style) 03:26	lyrics	buy track
The undertaker will always have a customer The exterminator will always kill another bug The hunter is always going to kill your meal The gravedigger will always have a grave dug The Grim Reaper is always going to have a job Time is always going to take a parent from a child Satan is always going to wear a smile Death, it’s always in style; death, it’s always in style We’re always going to use cadavers for the research We’re always going to have another funeral at church We’re always going to ride to the cemetery in a hearse And though murder’s naughty, I’m always going to have the urge, have the urge, have the urge The Grim Reaper is always going to have a job Time is always going to take a parent from a child Satan is always going to wear a smile Death, it’s always in style; death, it’s always in style The Grim Reaper is always going to have a job Time is always going to take a parent from a child Satan is always going to wear a smile Death, it’s always in style; death, it’s always in style

5.	Night Terrors 02:52	lyrics	buy track
It was 4 am She was fast asleep When a familiar hand Touched her cheek Terrifying voices Threatening to steal her soul Heart in her throat Like a thousand times before Then the night terrors came Demons sat upon her chest She could not scream She gasped for air Paralyzed in a dream Half awake, half asleep She could not move She could not speak Night terrors Night terrors Night terrors Night terrors Salt around her bed Said their name three times But the visions in her head They make her lose her mind Footsteps at the door Through the keyhole they creep in Entangling her hair They taunt her in her sleep Then the night terrors came Demons sat upon her chest She could not scream She gasped for air Paralyzed in a dream Half awake, half asleep She could not move She could not speak The night terrors came A weight upon her chest Caught between This world and the next Figures in the shadows Dancing around her bed Suffocate and Steal her breath Night terrors Night terrors Night terrors Night terrors Night terrors

All the dogs start barkin' when the sun goes down Seems like nobody’s got a pulse in this whole damn town I wander the streets at night just to find another soul Wishin’ you were still around to keep me from the cold Why’d you have to go? You left me with these folks Who don’t know What it is To be warm Anymore. Sometimes I miss the birds but I’m used to silence now The constant fog and grey skies are comforting somehow You know, I still look for you In every crowd Tell me, why’d you have to go? You left me with these ghosts Who don’t know What it is To be warm Anymore, To be warm Anymore.

30.	Even In My Darkest Hour 01:59	lyrics	buy track
A hundred times I've asked myself, If there's a God above, Call it fate, or maybe luck, With you, I call it love, Last night I wept so bitterly, My teardrops grew a flower, And from my grief, you gave relief, Even in my darkest hour. When I’m down and had enough, And good friends can't be found, One bad break, is all it takes, And my world's crashing down, When the wind kicks up and the waves are rough, I feel the fearsome power, You calm my seas and comfort me, Even in my darkest hour. People say I must be tough, Living like I do, But I get weak and turn my cheek, When it comes to you, Even in a penitentiary, With watchmen in the tower, You bring the key that sets me free, Even in my darkest hour, You bring the key that sets me free, Even in my darkest hour.
