Beyond the Pale - live

And sex was always there
 From when I was only eight years
 Tempting me leaving me thirsty
 Sweat, skin, a pulse divine
 To balance this restless mind
 It seemed so wonderfully physical
 Oh the blood, the lust
 The bodies that color the world
 All drugs to die for
 Won't you share my fire?
 How can love make that world
 A minefield of forbidden ground?
 A map of untouchable skin
 And silenced desire?
 And love was there in vain
 Profound and deep but traced with pain
 Too early for a child of ten
 Loving the pure and sane
 He sought the goddesses unstained
 Watching them turn to flesh again
 Hungry for both the purity and sin
 Life seemed to him
 Merely like a gallery of how to be
 And he was always much more human
 Than he wished to be
 But there is a logic to his world
 If they could only see
 Wishing
 Sickened
 Ill
 Ticking
 Someone still this hunger (It's in my blood)
 Always growing stronger (Ticking)
 Budapest I'm learning
 Budapest you're burning me
 This is not who I wanted to be
 This is not what I wanted to see
 She's so young so why don't I feel free
 Now that she is here
 Under me?
 Naked
 Touching
 Soft
 Clutching
 And then after all
 It lead me here to wake up again
 Seeking a love
 That might make me
 Feel free in myself but then
 It proves to be
 Something that hurts inside
 When we touch
 So I move on
 I lose my way
 Astray I'm trying too much
 To feel unchained
 To burn out this sense of feeling cold
 And every day
 I seek my prey
 Someone to taste and to hold
 I feel alive
 During the split second when they smile
 And meet my eyes
 But I could cry
 'Cause I feel broken inside
 Come and drown with me
 The undertow will sweep us away
 And you will see that I'm addicted
 To my honesty
 Trust, 'cause after all
 My sense of truth once brought me here
 But I've lost control
 And I don't know if I am true to my soul
 I've lost control
 And I don't know if I am true to my soul
 Losing control
 And I don't know if I am true at all
 And we were always much more human than we wished to be
 And I remember when you said
 You've been under him
 I was surprised to feel such pain
 And all those years of being
 Faithful to
 You
 Despite the hunger
 Flowing through my veins
 And I have always tried to
 Calm things down
 Swallow down swallow down
 "It's just another small
 Thorn in my crown"
 But suddenly one day there was just
 Too much blood in my eyes
 And I had to take this walk down
 Remedy Lane of whens and whys
 Empty
 Licking
 Clean
 Choking
 Someone still this hunger (Possessing my mind)
 Always growing stronger (Craving)
 Budapest I'm learning
 Budapest I'm burning me
 This is not who I wanted to be
 This is not what I wanted to see
 She's so young
 So why don't I feel free
 Now that she's under me
 In the morning she's going away
 In a Budapest taxi I've paid
 Seeking freedom I touched the untouched
 It's too much
 I'm beyond the pale
 Prematurity is the story
 Of both you and me
 And we were always much more human
 Than we wished to be
 Prematurity is truly the story
 Of both you and me
 And we were always much more human
 Than we wished to be
 We were always much more human than we wished to be
 We were always much more human than we wished to be
 We will always be more human than we wish to be
 We will always be so much more human than we wish to be
