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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
