FAITHFULNESS

Faithfulness
distracts me from my ever changing
tastefulness
my mouth upon the richest tongues
I run for this
Staticat the same time by it all

Common sense
can slap me in the face
and yet I calm dissent
embarassed by your obvious
indifference
disgusted at the same time by it all
watching as my ego breaks your fall

Don't you know that I've
been running from your heart
and I feel like you've been
running too

Don't you know that I've
been lying from the start
and I feel like you've been lying too

Leave you now
can't convince myself
that you're the one somehow
to free me from this smile
I call my loneliness
stuck inside this need to
feel complete
now I've left you standing
on your feet

Faithfulness is just a little rule
we break
still pretending lust was a just a fool
we faked, we made

TRASHED

I'm liked a soldier
with no cause to fight
playing with bar boys
to test you just right

I watch your features
I check for a sign
of some kind of failure
then I feel sublime

Now I know I have to live
without you
I can only bend so far
guess it's time to make some moves
without you
now you've gone and trashed
my heart

Solid demeanour
I look good a feat
still I'm too vicious
to take on defeat

Yes I hear
you don't feel this
anymore I see
there's nothing to believe
in anymore
just two snitches on heat
still avoiding the grief
because it felt so hard

DON'T LET ME DOWN

You always say
I want too much
is it such a crime
to want more than your lust
oh baby
why have you froze now

I can't conceive
the way this feels
you've grown so cold
like you're counting the tears
oh baby
why have you frozen now

And you say it doesn't matter
we'll always be
the best of friends

still I need you
to stay right here

so don't let me down
I've always said
I can't abuse
your lust for life
and the choices you choose

Oh baby
why have we broken now

LISTEN TO YOURSELF

You're talking
in circles
the words spit out your head
they blind you
with emotion that's plain dead

These wet sheets
sex sodden
mind spent and ill at ease
your mirror
screams out this dark release

Cos only you can be your help
so darling just listen
listen to yourself

Cos only you can be your help
so darling just listen
listen to yourself

you know truth
but deny it
too scared to make a break
pure feeling
just squandered in your wake

Don't tell me
your virtues
then run the same lame strife
too tiring
these excerpts of your life

LOST

What was I waiting for
waiting for the bubble to burst
over your stagnant pauses

Can't cure what your devil don't see
or light fire below the death of me
we've shot through all over
our causes

Days spin through my heart
that sever the love
kill all tha pain with shame

I won't be lost withouth you
I've found a way to get through
now I'm up and running
strong enough to walk away
and leave you alone
I won't be lost

What were you waiting for
waiting for the straw to break
over the back of desperate ways

You were a dream to me
now you're nothing but a heart
that bleeds
I'll wash you off and carry on

(repeat bridge and chorus)

And when I see you
I find another reason
to keep myself from getting
lost in you

Traccia 6
THE TROUBLE WITH ME

Can't see you through you
blinding words
eyes burning through the lies
you stutter
can't breathe in case I take them in
then I'd lose my mind

I believe that you believe in you
still reeling from the words
you uttered
feel sick enough to let you win
recognising

The trouble with me
is my troubles with you
sometimes you make me feel
like I'm everybody's fool

The trouble with me
is my troubles with you
you'd like me to believe
I need no one but you

I stumble from your juiced up promises
can't believe what I forgave in you
too scared by what you think
I'm living for
so distorted

Stupid me I should have listened
to you anyway
between the lines I would have
heard the truth
so slick you coulda lied to anyone
now I see that

You can run
you can run anyway
but I can run too
far enough to see

you can run
you can run today
but I can run too
far enough to see the wrong in you

GETTIN AWAY WITH IT

I've been walking in the rain
just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself
no to forget that I feel worse

I've been getting away with it
all my life
getting away with it
all my life

However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than
you love me

I hate that mirror
it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner
but when I'm with you
I couldn't care less

I've been getting away with it
all my life
getting away with it
all my life

Traccia 8
YOU'VE MADE YOUR BED

I'm a one night stand
screwed a whole damn year
cos your sneaky face
comes streaked with tears

But I'm no joyful lover
I tell no lies
so you won't just get away with it
without a fight

Now it's my turn to tell you

You can't keep turning to me
when she ain't coming home
you can't keep flirting with me
you've made your bed
go lie in it alone

I'm the rotten cause
that keeps true girls down
cos these tears of the heart
will have us all drowned

but I'm no willing cover
I seek no praise
so you won't be getting away with it
on sorry days

I'm your contraband
yours smugglers whore
I collude with you
when you want more

But it's clear to me
you thrive on my fear
so it's time to aid the enemy
and get the hell out of here

   
Traccia 9
I'LL TRY

I don't understand nothing less
than this bitter release
you standing firm but won't
talk to me
makes it harder to hold on

But I'll try
I'll try
I'll try
tell me how you feel and I'll try

I don't know what you
want from this
don't know nothing at all
just this vision that I can't leave
makes it harder to go on

Tell me how you feel and I'll try

We'll fight this regret
and smother the doubt
we'll conquer this

We'll conquer regret
and smother the doubt

BURNT LIKE YOU

You'll always be a born
worn out loser
still blaming all of us
for your bad choosing

No I can't watch the same mistake
waiting for the boys to turn
out straight
no I can't run the same dog race
and get burnt like you

You're swollen in the gut
from all those last nights
still swinging vodka punches
that don't land right
   
Traccia 11
TILL MORNING

Take these sore eyes
I've no use for them
now I feel there's
nothing left to see

Take your moment
it's not important
it's destined for my
fading memory

Ma baby

'til then sleep so completely
so discreetly
in my arms
'til then lie
so conviningly
still I'll stay here
I'll stay here
'til the morning comes

Take your satisfaction
if it makes it worth it
and take your little tricks
when you leave
