Old Card Players Never Die, They Just Shuffle Away

Isn’t it amazing
How the rain running down the windowpane
Can make you feel just that little bit insane?

Isn’t it entrancing
How the lightning that breaks through the clouds
Can illuminate the shadows that cluster in crowds.

Isn’t it intriguing
How the ace can rule the Jack?
The King must feel so helpless
And the Queen should watch her back.

Burn the cards life throws at you
Forget each roll of the dice
Lose yourself in simplistic memories
Or gamble them all and pay the price.
Watch the dealers tricking fingers
Take the ace and hide the Jack
Roll perilous snake eyes
And slyly reshuffle the pack.
Take your life back
Whoa oh
Take your life back!

Isn’t it fantastic
How peoples demons often rule their heads
And make them live a life meant for the dead.

Isn’t it fascinating
How life is just so f***ing depressing?
We’re all just waiting for that angels blessing.

Isn’t it intriguing
How the ace can rule the Jack?
The King must feel so helpless
And the Queen should watch her back.

Burn the cards life throws at you
Forget each roll of the dice
Lose yourself in simplistic memories
Or gamble them all and pay the price.
Watch the dealers tricking fingers
Take the ace and hide the Jack
Roll perilous snake eyes
And slyly reshuffle the pack.
Take your life back
Whoa oh
Take your life back!

Isn’t it stupid
How we wait where we are
And never make a move!?
Isn’t it silly
How we watch the world fly by
And never try to improve?!

Isn’t it intriguing
How the ace can rule the Jack?
The King must feel so helpless
And the Queen should watch her back.

Burn the cards life throws at you
Forget each roll of the dice
Lose yourself in simplistic memories
Or gamble them all and pay the price.
Watch the dealers tricking fingers
Take the ace and hide the Jack
Roll perilous snake eyes
And slyly reshuffle the pack.
Take your life back
Whoa oh
Take your life back!

Watch the dealers tricking fingers
Take the ace and hide the Jack
Roll perilous snake eyes
And slyly reshuffle the pack.
Take your life back
Whoa oh
Take your life back!

Friends Are Like Stars. You Don't Always See Them But They Are Always There.

It’s that time again
Another Monday morning
I know that sooner or later
The pain will fall without warning

It’ll cripple me
Tear me completely apart
Drive me to insanity
And stop my beating heart.

It’ll make me scream
Out loud in pain
It’ll blur my vision
And muddle up my brain

You pick me up when I fall down,
I face the wrong way and you turn me around
If I have no idea whether to come or to go
It’s you that I turn to ‘cause you always know.
You speak for me when my voice fails
You keep me on track when I run off the rails.
You’re always waiting there with an open door
But then again, what else are best friends for?

As the week progresses
And Friday morning dawns
I shake inside my duvet
Knowing another evil is born

But then my phone rings
And you’re on the other side
Checking up on me
Simply trying to make me smile.

I talk to you for hours
You make everything alright
You bring a smile to my face
And dowse me in everlasting light
You pick me up when I fall down,
I face the wrong way and you turn me around
If I have no idea whether to come or to go
It’s you that I turn to ‘cause you always know.
You speak for me when my voice fails
You keep me on track when I run off the rails.
You’re always waiting there with an open door
But then again, what else are best friends for?

Thank you my friend
For just being there
For making me happy
And showing you care

I’d be no one without you
You’re my backbone and my soul
You’re the smile that sits on my lips
And you keep me in control.

Oh whoa oh.

You pick me up when I fall down,
I face the wrong way and you turn me around
If I have no idea whether to come or to go
It’s you that I turn to ‘cause you always know.
You speak for me when my voice fails
You keep me on track when I run off the rails.
You’re always waiting there with an open door
But then again, what else are best friends for?

It’s that time again
I’m getting up off the floor
You hold out your hand to me
What else are best friends for?
What else are best friends for?

Fragile Glass Heart

Am I a fool?
Or do I actually belong with you?
Am I deceived?
Or is our love actually true?
Oh. Oh.
Am I idiotic?
Or is your heart the one I belong to?
Am I gullible?
Or are we actually supposed to see this through?
Oh Oh.
Oh Oh.

Give me some bubblewrap
Wrap up my fragile glass heart.
Was I right to give you a second chance?
I just don’t want us to part.
Or is that I don’t want to walk alone
Cause who else would want me but you?
I thought you were my Knight in Shining Armour
Are you really the guy I thought I knew?

Am I right?
To think you are the one for me?
Am I confused?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Oh Oh.
Am I stupid?
Are these memories of us real?
Am I asleep?
Cause these past few months are just a dream.
Oh Oh.
Oh Oh.

Give me some bubblewrap
Wrap up my fragile glass heart.
Was I right to give you a second chance?
I just don’t want us to part.
Or is that I don’t want to walk alone
Cause who else would want me but you?
I thought you were my Knight in Shining Armour
Are you really the guy I thought I knew?

Was I right?
To forgive all your sins.
Should I have
Let my life rebegin?

Will you pick up the pieces
Of my shattered glass heart.
Will you piece them together
Or will you rip them apart.
I dropped it when you told me
What you told me back then.
But I forgive you my baby
Just please never do it again.
Please fix my fragile glass heart
And save me the sharp edged pain.

Give me some bubblewrap
Wrap up my fragile glass heart.
Was I right to give you a second chance?
I just don’t want us to part.
Or is that I don’t want to walk alone
Cause who else would want me but you?
I thought you were my Knight in Shining Armour
Are you really the guy I thought I knew?

PlastoScene

You can hear me talking, right?
So why don’t you answer my prayers?
Am I just invisible?
Or am I blinded by my tears?

It’s like I’m talking to a mirror
Or I’ve shrunk too tiny to see.
I can’t fit through the doorway
Because it’s you that holds the key.

I wish you were made of plastocene
Then I could mould you into shape.
Beat you into submission
And block off your escapes.
I could keep you in my eyesight
You would stay by my side
Hold you safe in my pocket
I would be your bride.

I’m lost within the wonderland
That is my aching heart.
I need my grinning Cheshire cat
To tell me where to start.

You need to lead me down
The right path, not the wrong.
Am I wasting my time on you?
Is your heart where I belong?

I wish you were made of plastocene
Then I could mould you into shape.
Beat you into submission
And block off your escapes.
I could keep you in my eyesight
You would stay by my side
Hold you safe in my pocket
I would be your bride.

I could construct a dream world
Entirely from your face
I could live inside my dream world
It is my happy place.
When I’m inside my dream world
You wrap your arms round me
But then I leave my dream world
And see it’s not to be.

I wish you were made of plastocene
Then I could mould you into shape.
Beat you into submission
And block off your escapes.
I could keep you in my eyesight
You would stay by my side
Hold you safe in my pocket
I would be your bride.

I wish my heart were made of plastocene
Then I could mould it into shape.
Beat it into submission
And escape your escapades.
You won’t stay in my eyesight
You won’t stay by my side
I can’t hold you safe in my pocket
I will never be your bride.

We’d wed inside my dream world
That I want so much to be reality
You’d hold me in my dream world
And give yourself to me.

You Had Me At 'Hello'

Love has a way of sneaking up
And biting your behind.
Love has a way of obscuring you
And making you go blind.

Love is just a melody
A song we all must sing.
An octave that we strive to reach
But fail at focusing.

When I met you it felt
Like Cupid strung his bow.
Save your sweet talking and compliments.
You had me at 'Hello'.
Something hit me there and then
And I didn't want to go.
Your voice is sweet as cherry pie,
You had me at 'Hello'.

Love has a way of ruling you
But somehow you don't care.
If it feels right, if it feels strong.
You know that he'll be there.

Love is a funny thing
A life - draining energy.
A mind boggling delirium
A vision we all must see.

When I met you it felt
Like Cupid strung his bow.
Save your sweet talking and compliments,
You had me at 'Hello'.
Something hit me there and then
And I didn't want to go.
Your voice is sweet as cherry pie
You had me at 'Hello'.

Love makes your eyes pop
The sunshine
The penny drop.
Love makes your heart swell
Your brain whir
Your mouth yell.
Love makes you laugh.
And cry
And dream
And scream
But you had me at 'Hello'

Her Halo Has Slipped

What can I say to make you listen?
When we're a thousand miles apart.
What can I do to make you hear me?
And hear whats in your heart.

I do my best to help you,
And guide you through the day.
But honey, you need to remember,
And hold on to what I say.

Because I say we're connected
Two bodies and one soul.
You're hanging on an endless thread
Unable to reach your goal.

You've got three golden wishes,
And two raw thoughts that are entwined.
You're got one basic body
Encasing one soul and one mind
And
I own nothing at all.

What can I say to make you notice?
That this life is all we've got.
And if you don't take care of it
I assure you it'll rot.

I know life can be difficult
And I know it isn't fair.
But when you need a helping hand
I assure you I'll be there.

Because I say we're connected.
Two bodies with one soul.
You're hanging on an endless thread.
Unable to reach your goal.

You've got three golden wishes,
And two raw thoughts entwined.
You've got one basic body
Encasing one soul and one mind.
And
I own nothing at all.

When we met, we just seemed to click.
Like every tock has a tick.
I'll watch over you throughout the day
You'll never make me go away.
Because every soul comes ready made
With a guardian angel attached.
And my friend, I am yours.

You Are A Song I Cannot Sing, And I Note I Cannot Hit.

Life is too short
Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness
Laugh when you can
And strive to success
Apologise when you should
And let go of what you can’t change.
Love deeply and forgive quickly
Always stay top of the range.

Have no regrets
And take the good with the bad
Love what you’ve got
And smile when you’re sad
Always forgive and never forget
And always remember what you had.
Learn from your mistakes,
But never regret
People change and things go wrong
But always remember
Life goes on.

Forever knowing that you’re the one
To protest me,
Detest me
Even forget me.
Life isn’t worth the pain
And there’s no guarantee I’ll get up again.
The way I see it
If you want to see a rainbow
You gotta put up with the rain.

I guess its typical for me
To cling to memories of you.
That I can’t get back again.
And I sort through old photos
Of a summer long ago.
A perfect memory of
A friend I used to know.

Have no regrets
And take the good with the bad
Love what you’ve got
And smile when you’re sad
Always forgive and never forget
And always remember what you had.
Learn from your mistakes,
But never regret
People change and things go wrong
But always remember
Life goes on.

Forever knowing that you’re the one
To protest me,
Detest me
Even forget me.
Life isn’t worth the pain
And there’s no guarantee I’ll get up again.
The way I see it
If you want to see a rainbow
You gotta put up with the rain.

The struggles make you stronger
The changes make you wiser
Happiness has a way of taking
Its own sweet time.
But it’s worth the climb.

Nothing lasts forever,
So live it up, drink it down.
Take those long forgotten chances
And avoid a single frown.
But at one point
Your memories were haunted.
Yet, everything you did was
Exactly as you wanted.

Have no regrets
And take the good with the bad
Love what you’ve got
And smile when you’re sad
Always forgive and never forget
And always remember what you had.
Learn from your mistakes,
But never regret
People change and things go wrong
But always remember
Life goes on.

Forever knowing that you’re the one
To protest me,
Detest me
Even forget me.
Life isn’t worth the pain
And there’s no guarantee I’ll get up again.
The way I see it
If you want to see a rainbow
You gotta put up with the rain.

Maybe the sour truth is
I hide to see who will look for me.
I cry to see who will wipe away my tears
And I get our heart broken to see
Who will care enough to fix it for another year.

What hurts the most is being so close
And having so much to say but watching you walk away
Never knowing what could have been and
Seeing that me loving you is what you should have seen.

Have no regrets
And take the good with the bad
Love what you’ve got
And smile when you’re sad
Always forgive and never forget
And always remember what you had.
Learn from your mistakes,
But never regret
People change and things go wrong
But always remember
Life goes on.

Forever knowing that you’re the one
To protest me,
Detest me
Even forget me.
Life isn’t worth the pain
And there’s no guarantee I’ll get up again.
The way I see it
If you want to see a rainbow
You gotta put up with the rain.

Life goes on.

Someone 'Special'

These haunted halls hold a shadow
Of things that have long since passed.
But things that i hold with me
To linger and to last.

Now I'm stuck with nightmares
And scars that will not heal.
It's hard to find a difference
Between what is right and what is real.

I dream of him holding me
But when the very next day
I discover your little secret
And it snatches my dreams away.

What you did nearly killed me
But i guess you cannot tell.
You just spend the whole night kissing him
While i burn here in hell.

This song is like a poem
Not like a song at all.
But what does that even matter when
We all just fight and fall.

If you ever hear me sing this
I just want you to know
I called you my bestest friend
But you stroke the killing blow.

I write this from experience
And I write it from the heart
Now your pain has ended
It's time for mine to start.

The tears that i cry
Are not cried for you
They fall you what you did
But you don't have a clue

You've changed so much
And I've changed too.
You've scarred me forever
If only you knew.

I know that we both like him
But thats not beneficial
I guess this song is a poem
And i dedicate it to someone 'special'

Here's A Knife For My Back

Why can’t I remember the good times?
Or were there only bad ones?
You seem normal when you first talk
But something wicked this way comes.

Like electric in the water
Quickly the pain spreads.
Infected forever
Up until you’re dead.

Don’t forget me when you change and grow up
I’ll still be here living my life.
Never growing up. Never.

And when you’re married and
Have a high-flying career
Spare a thought for me when
I’m still stuck down here.

People say change is a good thing
But now I’m not so sure.
Something isn’t right and I
Don’t know who you are anymore.

I think back to the things we said
And the hundred laughs we shared.
I think back to all the good times
Anywhere you cared.

Don’t forget me when you change and grow up
I’ll still be here living my life.
Never growing up. Never.

And when you’re married and
Have a high-flying career
Spare a thought for me when
I’m still stuck down here.

And when I’m lying on my deathbed
With my friends all here with me
Will you be there aswell?
Or will I be your history.

And as the song draws to a close
And my life is at its end
Are you going to leave me here
Or am I still your friend?

Burnt Big Top & Deserted Ring

Everyone can dream
But, dream as you might
Things will hardly ever turn out right
You just gotta stick to what you believe
And hope you have perceived
Right.

Hanging on with bloody fingers
Your dreams all shattered and dead.
It’s a hard thought to relate to inside your head.
But maybe it wasn’t meant to be
And now you can finally see
The truth.

Dreams are shattered every day
You just have to hope the truth will always stay
But if it doesn’t then you need find another way
To make it out of the maze.

Thank you, thank you, please hold the applause
But to be honest I really don’t deserve this at all
It was fun while it lasted but all good things must end
I was nothing more than a crazed trend

Broken and torn
Even though it is hard to believe
Sometimes it’s not what’s meant to be
And you just gotta hold on
Gotta keep singing your song
Believe me.

Keep on track
Another opportunity will come along
You just gotta seize it and hold on
Don’t let your fingers slip
Don’t loosen your grip
Cuz’ you’ll fall.

Dreams are shattered every day
You just have to hope the truth will always stay
But if it doesn’t then you need find another way
To make it out of the maze.

Thank you, thank you, please hold the applause
But to be honest I really don’t deserve this at all
It was fun while it lasted but all good things must end
I was nothing more than a crazed trend

Bend the mirror and take a look
All you can see is the dreams you shook
The people you ignored,
The people you hurt
The things you gave up just to fall back down again.

Raise your arms up high and scream
Why ever did you hatch this dream?
The torment it hurts
The teasing inserts
The things you gave up just to fall back down again.

Thank you, thank you, please hold the applause
But to be honest I really don’t deserve this at all
It was fun while it lasted but all good things must end
I was nothing more than an absurd trend

Academic Procedures Of The Highest Measures Are Nothing To What A Dream Can Bring

Let’s go!
Oh oh.

Angelic faces
Far off places
Distant spaces
Dreams in hand but no one can find
The answer.

Political views
Worn out tools
Scuffed black shoes
Stare at the wall hoping it will find
The answer.

School life was shit
Just waiting for my moment to shine
All the torments and teasing
I barely think it was worth the time.
Each length of the corridor
Seems like a forty-foot mountain climb.
I’m giving it up.

Try to hold me down when I’m fighting back
Try to punch out my lights when I’m staying on track
I know what I want
I know what I need
I know what you deserve.
So go jump off a bridge tonight.

Crazed regimes
Gymnasium teams
Drowned out dreams
Keep to myself just hoping to find
The answer.

Cursed lips
Sinking ships
Washed out chips
Wolves in sheep’s clothing stop me finding
The answer.

School life was shit
Just waiting for my moment to shine
All the torments and teasing
I barely think it was worth the time.
Each length of the corridor
Seems like a forty-foot mountain climb.
I’m giving it up.

Try to hold me down when I’m fighting back
Try to punch out my lights when I’m staying on track
I know what I want
I know what I need
I know what you deserve.
So go jump off a bridge tonight.

R.I.P to all the free days
Just gotta do it their way
Brainwashed till we hit insanity
Sometimes I wonder ‘Was it meant for me’
The mile long queues to eat their crap
Can’t help but think it’s all a trap
A conspiracy to break me down
I just gotta get outta town
And live my life my way.
That, my friend, is the answer.

Try to hold me down when I’m fighting back
Try to punch out my lights when I’m staying on track
I know what I want
I know what I need
I know what you deserve.
So go jump off a bridge tonight.
Try to hold me down when I’m fighting back
Try to punch out my lights when I’m staying on track
I know what I want
I know what I need
I know what you deserve.
So go jump off a bridge tonight.

All That Could Be Should Be, And Don't You Hold Me Back

Spotlight shines on me
The crowd shout out for me
Microphone in hand
Backed up by my band
I’m in heaven.

Guitar chords are strummed
The melody is hummed
The beat is written
The crowd are smitten
My perfect heaven.

Then I wake up and see
It never has been
It was only a dream
Only a dream.
No stage, no amps
No back up band
No screaming fans
No screaming fans.

My guitars in my hand
Heart races as I stand
At my microphone stand.
I start singing this song.
I’m in heaven.

My best friends to my left
Pounding those bass clefs
She knows shes my best
She matches my tests
We’re in heaven.

Don’t wanna wake up and see
That it never has been
It was only a dream
Only a dream.
Keep the stage, keep the amps
Keep the back up band
Keep the screaming fans
Our loyal fans.

My idols get the credit
For making me want to make it
Fall Out Boy are the ones
Who made me get it done
They’re my heaven

Living the dream is all I could ask for
Travelling the world and being adored.
I’m a simple girl with a simple life
And hell have I made sacrifices
But this is the dream.
I’m in heaven.

Never gunna wake up and see
That it never has been
It was only a dream
Only a dream.
Rule the stage, own the amps
Praise the back up band
Thank the screaming fans
My loyal fans.
Rule the stage, own the amps
Praise the rodies and the band
Thank the screaming fans
They made me who I am.

Fly Low, Soar High, Just Don't Forget To Wave Goodbye

Baby girl, your eyes are wide
Showing all the pain inside
I wish that I could simply relieve you
& make your happiness renewed.

Rain falls heavily outside
As I contemplate suicide
Why should I put up with this world?
When it’s hurting that baby girl.

I just want you to know that some day
We’re going to break away
And leave this world behind
With all its pain inside
Locked away, we’re safe from it
No bad vibes can transmit.
So wipe them tears & dry them eyes
We’ve got a one way ticket to paradise
A railway pass to be free
And a no returns guarantee.

Another Saturday dawns
My dreams all become the pawns
But the queen smashes them aside
What’s the use in trying to hide?

The knight moves forward
& with a swing of his sword
The queen stumbles and falls down
& the clown becomes the crown.

I just want you to know that some day
We’re going to break away
And leave this world behind
With all its pain inside
Locked away, we’re safe from it
No bad vibes can transmit.
So wipe them tears & dry them eyes
We’ve got a one way ticket to paradise
A railway pass to be free
And a no returns guarantee.

I know how cruel the world
Is to that dear baby girl
With the eyes opened so wide
You’ll grow your wings and fly

You’ll soar above the stars
And away from all the scars
The cuts you made today
Will simply fade away.

When heartstrings are played
Like guitar strings are made
The memories will just fade
But by your side I’ve always stayed.
Oh oh.
When heartstrings are played
Like guitar strings are made
The memories will just fade
But by your side I’ll always stay.
I’ll always stay.

Sing Me A Song My Darling, Or Surely I Shall Wilt

You are my glimmer of hope
In this sea of endless starry skies
You hold me next to you
And sing a song, a heartfelt lullabye

You sing of how you’ve never
Felt this way before
Of how I am so perfect
And of how you’re glad I’m yours.

And when your song has finished
You kiss my lips and say
‘I love you so much my darling
And that notion I know will always stay

As long as you never leave me
I will be here for you
To hold your hand when you are scared
To you I will always remain true’

The course of true love never did run smooth
But when two hearts connect that don’t matter
I’d love you even if everyone told me not to
I’d love you if everything else shattered.

Fate works in tricky ways
Sometimes he misses out those in need
But sometimes he throws his dice just right
And two trapped hearts are freed.

The hearts then find each other
And you can guess what happens then
They create a bond that no man can break
They ignore the fury of greater men

Two hearts once bound together
Are impossible to break
I trust you always my sweetheart
And I will love you always, no mistake

‘As long as you never leave me
I will be here for you
To hold your hand when you are scared
To you I will always remain true’

The course of true love never did run smooth
But when two hearts connect that don’t matter
I’d love you even if everyone told me not to
I’d love you if everything else shattered.

I see everything now
In an entirely different light
I smile whenever I think of you
I smile in my dreams at night

Although I never want to fall asleep
Even though my tiredness screams
Because you’ve made reality
So much better than my dreams.

If you live to be one hundred
Then I want to live to be a hundred minus one day,
So I never have to live without you
I hope it never has to be that way.

‘As long as you never leave me
I will be here for you
To hold your hand when you are scared
To you I will always remain true’

The course of true love never did run smooth
But when two hearts connect that don’t matter
I’d love you even if everyone told me not to
I’d love you if everything else shattered.
Oh oh oh.
The course of true love never did run smooth
But when two hearts connect that don’t matter
I’d love you even if everyone told me not to
I’d love you if everything else shattered.

Okay So The Wardrobe Fell On Top Of Me, At Least You Were There To Lift It Off

I walk along the forest road
I don’t know my left from my right
My head feels like its going to explode
I’ve no idea if I’m going to be alright.

The world revolves in black
And the stars all laugh up high
I know I’ve got to pick up the slack
But I don’t know how or why.

That’s were you come along
My guidance in the night
You let me know when my judgements wrong
And which way is left and which is right.

Guide me now,
Don’t let me fall.
Steer me straight
Help me forget it all.
Be my voice of reason
My hail from the heavens
My rabbits foot,
My dark black cat
My four-leafed clover,
My magic top hat

When I freeze completely frozen
When my heart stops its beat
When my path has not been chosen
When I grow two left feet

Its you that’s there beside me
You who I can talk to at any time
Its you who listens kindly
You, my partner in crime

You make me listen to your every word
Which are always full of wisdom and strength
You convey to me the truth you’ve heard
And lead me straight at any length.

Guide me now,
Don’t let me fall.
Steer me straight
Help me forget it all.
Be my voice of reason
My hail from the heavens
My rabbits foot,
My dark black cat
My magic top hat

This song can’t really describe to you
How much I value your friendship
But believe me now, each word is true
And for the future I know you’ll equip.

I wish I could repay you
All the kindness you have shared
But I can count on you when times are blue
I can count on you when I am scared.

Thank you my voice of reason
My source of warmth when my heart is cold
Thank you my voice from heaven
The angel with the heart of gold.

Darling, The Sun Bleeched The Petals Black So Lets Just Leave It At That.

A thinkful thought
A thoughtful think
That lets me know
I’m on the brink
Of losing you.
For good
Don’t think I should
Don’t think I should

Babe, if you’d only listen
We’d both be alright
We’d both be alright

This thing is so difficult
But it doesn’t have to be
No it doesn’t have to be
We can make it out alive
Both you and me
Yes you and me

Whisper in my ear
Your words of self damnation
Your self preservation
This lonely sacrifice
Will be your one salvation
This foul temptation
Foul temptation

Don’t do it son
Don’t take the plunge
Don’t throw away
The bloodstained sponge
Full of guilt
And pain.
Come in with the rain
Come in with the rain

Babe, if you’d only listen
We’d both be alright
We’d both be alright

This thing is so difficult
But it doesn’t have to be
No it doesn’t have to be
We can make it out alive
Both you and me
Yes you and me

Whisper in my ear
Your words of self damnation
Your self preservation
This lonely sacrifice
Will be your one salvation
This foul temptation
Foul temptation

I close your eyes
And kiss your nose
You sleep now darling
My wilted rose
Bowing low
Oh how I know
Oh how I know

Babe, if you’d only listen
We’d both be alright
We’d both be alright

This thing is so difficult
But it doesn’t have to be
No it doesn’t have to be
We can make it out alive
Both you and me
Yes you and me

Whisper in my ear
Your words of self damnation
Your self preservation
This lonely sacrifice
Will be your one salvation
This rotten temptation
Choking temptation
Wicked temptation.
Sleep now darling.

(Switch to acoustic)
I will sacrifice my world
For you to live.
For your happiness.
For your smile.
Oh that smile.

Her Mirrors Smashed And The Carpets Stained So Why Doesn't She Clear It Up?

Cut me to ribbons and
Take a proper look around
You know I’m just another step
From having another break down

Take out the knife and
Bring it down once more
Can you not even see
What life has got in store?

The blood mixes with tears
And the heart stops its beat
The rain falls down in torrents
And splatters on the street.
The blood mixes with the rain
And the clouds look down and sigh
The body laid on the pavement
Had no real excuse to cry

Why did she go and end it?
Why didn’t she wait another day?
Why wouldn’t she listen to,
Everything people had to say?

Its late at night and
The clock strikes death
The chimes fill the streets
And she takes her last breath.

The world melts away and
She crumples on the stone
The rain mixes in her hair
And another life is gone.

The blood mixes with tears
And the heart stops its beat
The rain falls down in torrents
And splatters on the street.
The blood mixes with the rain
And the clouds look down and sigh
The body laid on the pavement
Had no real excuse to cry.

Why did she go and end it?
Why didn’t she wait another day?
Why wouldn’t she listen to,
Everything people had to say?

She only had one thing on her mind
And the one thing was him
The vision of perfect atmosphere
The vision of such intense sin

He smiled at her and welcomed her
But when it came to the kill
He dropped her and he broke her
And now she’s lost the will.

As her blood mixes with her tears
And her heart stops its beat
The rain falls down in torrents
And splatters on the street.
Her blood mixes with the rain
And her looks down and laughs
The body laid on the pavement
Was so modest and simply daft

He’s why she went and ended it?
He’s why this was her last day?
He’s why she wouldn’t listen to
Everything people had to say.

This Hole In My Chest Doesn't Seem To Be Closing, Maybe I Should Give Up And Die? (Written for a friend.. obviously)

Ever stumbled off the path,
And got lost in the darkness?
Ever found yourself so lost
That you can’t find your way?

Ever loved someone so bad,
That you’d give up anything to help them?
Ever needed someone so much,
You’d walk a million miles to hear their say?

I once had that someone
I could turn to when times were bad
But then it all got bloody
And now I just think I’m mad
I helped her through all her problems
And I thought she’d help with mine
But I guess I was hoping too high
I guess I was wasting my time.

I sometimes wish that
I’d tried just that little harder
To hold on tighter to her
But I guess it wasn’t to be.

I cared way too much,
And apparently helped too little
She decided she’d had enough
But where does that leave me?

I once had that someone
I could turn to when times were bad
But then it all got bloody
And now I just think I’m mad
I helped her through all her problems
And I thought she’d help with mine
But I guess I was hoping too high
I guess I was wasting my time.

If she is hearing this song
I want her to know that I miss her
I want her to know that I need her
To make it through today

I need her to want me to be around
To help her when she’s down
I need her to see how much she means to me
Or I’ll just die and wilt away

I need to have that someone
I can turn to when times are bad
I don’t want it all to get bloody
And I know you think I’m mad
Someone I can help through their problems
And who will then help me with mine
But I guess I’m hoping too high
I guess I’m just wasting my time.

In My Experience, Its Better To Run Than To Hide (Ballad of a Broken Soldier)

Darkness fills the street
The lamps blow out again
You never know what you may see
In the dark without a friend

A lonely boy he stands
Beneath the sparkling stars
Thinking of a way
He can cover up his scars

He looks down at the pavement
Surrounded by a thousand red shards
The gaping hole in his chest
Reveals his missing broken heart

Hes been defeated and cheated,
Oh, ever so wrongly treated.
He was perversed and cursed
She left him for the worse
She left him for the worse

A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
Stand beside me in the fight
Take my hand, little soldier
And it’ll all be all right.
It’ll all be all right

He really needs someone
An angel in the night
To guide him through the darkness
And take him to the light.

He needs to start believing
The world will turn around
But to him it’s always turning
Not sure wheres up and down

The stars become the floor
And the pavement is the sky
If he were to run along this street
He’d basically be flying

Hes been defeated and cheated,
Oh, ever so wrongly treated.
He was perversed and cursed
She left him for the worse
She left him for the worse

A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
Stand beside me in the fight
Take my hand, little soldier
And it’ll all be all right.
It’ll all be all right.

He knows he can trust me,
I swear to him that is true.
It’s me that he can come to
If he can’t make it through

No one hurts this broken soldier
For as long as I will live
No one else will break him
While he’s got something left to give.

A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
I’ll guide you to the light
I’ll polish off your armour
And you shall be a knight,
Oh yes you shall be knight.

Never Leave (For My Boyfriend)

Trying to find the right words
To describe what I feel for you
You're so perfect in every way
Its too good to be true.

Though it is and you are
My bright and shining star
Stay with me at night
Be my source of inspiring light.
& never leave me.
No, never leave me

Talking to you on the phone
Makes my heart beat a little too fast
I'm gunna do everything I can
To make this last.

Cos you're the best by far
My bright and shining star
Stay with me at night
Be my source of inspiring light.
& never leave me.
No, never leave me

Never in any love life,
Did i expect to feel like this
Its amazing
You saved me
From myself & everyone else.

Don't leave me
Please don't ever go.

Your smile lights up the darkness
That beats inside my head.
Your voice, it breaks the silence,
That fills my heart with dread.

Cos you're the best by far
My bright and shining star
Stay with me tonight
Be my source of inspiring light.
& never leave me.
No, never leave me

You'd Better Stop This Beat Before The Floor Falls In And We All Get Buried Beneath The Rubble

There's this girl I've recently gotten to know
Her heads floating a million miles from home
She walks on the ground but her heads in the clouds
Can't feel anyone for miles around.

Shes kinda pretty in a surreal way
But don't go near cos she'll make you dismay
Shes nice but shes nasty, a right piece of work
She'll give you a smile, or she'll give you a smirk

But i know one thing thats one hundred percent for sure
She'd better work it out before she hits the floor.

She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
Not this time.

All the guys follow her in the street,
Desperate to get between her sheets.
She leads them on, gets them fawning,
Then breaks there heart without a warning.

She watches as they crumble down at her feet,
She laughs as she watches their broken hearts bleed.
Then, she looks down at them and says many words unspoken,
Then walks away, leaving yet another victim broken.


I know one thing thats one hundred percent for certain
She'd better sort it out before she sees the black curtain.

She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
Not this time.

Theres about a hundred guys she wants to date
But they're not strong enough to take the weight.
She'll get sick of them in a short time anyway,
Letting her heart once again go astray.

She'll move along her well trodden path of destruction
Needing a guy who loves her just to function.
She thrives upon the suffering that she inflicts,
Just waiting for another guy to become transfixed.

Shes a spider just weaving a web
Ha, a total web of lies
I just wish soon she'll get caught up
Like these guys she treats like flies.
Shes a slut and a whore
Always in persuit of more
And I'm pretty sure
She'll come crashing down on of these days.
Oh I really wish she'd come crashing down one of these days.

Before she sorts out her fickle heart
Cos one of these days she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
She'll never sort out her fickle heart
And one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
Not this time.

Not. This. Time.

Lavada (For My Best Friend. Lavada Means My Dear Friend)

My phone vibrates,
Another text from you,
Saying how your life is sh*t,
And you can’t make it through.

I sigh and get comfy,
Damn, here we go again
I try so hard to convince you,
Not to split a vein.

You shake your head,
And stamp your feet,
Can’t wait for death,
Can’t wait to cheat.

So basically,
Lavada,
Each day it gets harder,
Just to talk to you
To make a break through
And make life seem all right again.
To bring the sunshine
And light up your skies
And spread through your window
And dry the tears in your eyes.

Please slap on a smile and wipe away that frown,
Cos babe your turning my life upside down,
You should count your blessings,
I know I count you twice,
And you should be grateful
You’re escaping fates dice.

I manage to put it off
For at least another day
But I know that it’s never the end
And you’ve got plenty more to say

Next day, sure enough,
Another text from you,
‘I’m gunna end it tonight,
Theres nothing you can do’

So I beg and I plead,
I try to make you see,
That your life is worth living,
You just have to agree.

And basically,
Lavada,
Each day it gets harder,
Just to talk to you
To make a break through
And make life seem all right again.
To bring the sunshine
And light up your skies
And spread through your window
And dry the tears in your eyes.

Please slap on a smile and wipe away that frown,
Cos babe your turning my life upside down,
You should count your blessings,
I know I count you twice,
And you should be grateful
You’re escaping fates dice.

I love you to pieces,
And babe I always will,
But you break my heart a little,
With every new cut or pill.

You need to stop seeing,
The world in that dark light,
Everyone’s life would be easier,
If you refused to fight.

The world is your home,
And this life is your very own.
So back off, calm down,
Watch yourself grow.

See, when you do,
Lavada,
Every day will get harder,
But you need to persue,
To make a break through
And make life seem all right again.
To bring the sunshine
And light up your skies
And spread through your window
And dry the tears in your eyes.

So slap on a smile and wipe away that frown,
Cos babe your turning your life upside down,
Go on and count your blessings,
I know I count you twice,
And you should stop screaming enough
To take my advice

Analysis

Before I met you I was happy
And everything was right.
But then I met you and
It’s like someone turned out the light.

Now I lay here in my bedroom
Casting shadows on the floor.
I sit here contemplating why
I didn’t go looking for any more.

I search for hidden meaning
As to why the tears still fall.
I want to find the hidden word
That is an answer to it all.

But all I’ve gotten so far is an analysis of you…

And how you’re depressively obsessive and
You made me fall for you.
You’re excessively possessive
In whatever you do.
But not one thing could
Make me bring
Myself to regret
The decision to forget
You.
Little old wonderful you.

I know you have a girlfriend,
And hell I hate that b*tch.
Wouldn’t it be good if,
Our lives would just switch.

So congratulations on your happiness,
While I melt away in pain.
Have fun in your land of sunshine,
While I stand here in the rain.

If only you knew how you make me feel,
If only you knew how it hurt.
I write a song for my misery,
That has been caused by that tarty flirt.

But all I’ve gotten so far is an analysis of you…

And how you’re depressively obsessive and
You made me fall for you.
You’re excessively possessive
In whatever you do.
But not one thing could
Make me bring
Myself to regret
The decision to forget
You.
Little old wonderful you.

I thought I could wait forever,
And I guess that I still could.
But I need to start believing
That it would do no good.

You’re flying in the clouds,
And you’ll never change your mind,
Cos while she’s in the picture,
To me you just seem blind.

So I’m going to start moving on,
As I should have done at the start.
But the one thing I will never erase,
Is your name inside my heart.

And the definition is an analysis of you…

And how you’re depressively obsessive and
You made me fall for you.
You’re excessively possessive
In whatever you do.
And almost anything could
Make me bring
Myself to regret
The decision to forget
You.
Little old wonderful,
Breathtakingly beautiful,
Outstandingly corruptful,
Little old wonderful you.

Broken Heart List (Written For My Ex - Contains 1 Unsuitable Word - Inspired By Taylor Swift & Her Song 'White Horse')

Trying to write a song when all I see in my head
Is your face
Your face

The only music I hear ringing in my ears
Is your voice
Your voice.

Its hard to get creative juices flowing when your
In love
In love

With a guy who loves another
And now they are together
Now until forever
Oh whoa

What is it about me?
That makes you look away?
What is it about me?
That makes you duck your head in shame?
What is it about me?
That makes you turn to me and say….

It ain’t gonna happen,
Baby, it never was.
I was only humouring you,
And that was only because,
You were a little lost bunny,
With your heart ruling your head.
I felt sorry for you,
Didn’t mean it when I said,
Something can happen between us,
Right here and right now,
Let me hold your hands tight,
Baby I’ll never let you down.

Trying to face my reflection when all that I see
Is my tears
My tears.

And when I sleep all that I can dream of
Is my fears
My fears.

Why did I ever let myself fall
In love
In love

With a guy who lies as fluently
As he speaks English
If only I had one wish
Oh whoa.

What is it about me?
That makes you look away?
What is it about me?
That makes you duck your head in shame?
What is it about me?
That makes you turn to me and say…

It ain’t gonna happen,
Baby, it never was.
I was only humouring you,
And that was only because,
You were a little lost bunny,
With your heart ruling your head.
I felt sorry for you,
Didn’t mean it when I said,
Something can happen between us,
Right here and right now,
Let me hold your hands tight,
Baby I’ll never let you down.

It hard to live in your head when you’re scared of what you see
It was you I’ve been waiting for, you who could set me free.
Look into my eyes and tell me that you don’t want me,
Say it like you mean it, no stutter, stammer or maybe.

I thought you were my Prince Charming,
My lucky break, my Romeo.
What I need is a guardian angel
Telling me the way to go.

Well I hope that you are happy,
With the guilt trip you are embarking on.
Well I hope you know what you’ve done.
And I hope you manage to right your wrong.

What is it about you?
That made me stop and stare?
What is it about you?
That made me want to care?
What is it about you?
That made me want to declare…

This is gonna happen,
Baby, its not often paths cross,
Just look into my eyes,
And see we’re meant to be because,
I’m a little lost bunny,
My heart ruling my head.
Everyone feels sorry for me,
Did you mean it when you said,
Something can happen between us,
Right here, and right now.
Let me hold your hands tight,
Baby I’ll never let you down.

Oh oh whoa oh
Oh oh whoa oh.

I believed you when you said,
'We can make this last forever,
I love you little bunny,
And baby don’t you ever,
Leave me, oh. don’t you go astray.
Cause I know we’re meant to be,
We will never part our ways. '

I guess fate was drunk,
Or destiny was pissed.
Cause when I met you
I automatically signed my name,
On the broken heart list.

Fallen Angel

His tears fall like raindrops
Down to the city streets
But will anybody notice
Before history repeats

People say everything is different
But it all feels just the same
1000 feet beneath him
She’s the one to blame

He is a fallen angel
A fallen saviour from the sky
But he was truly grounded
Not destined to ever fly

He searched around for guidance
But all he got was hate
She never once truly loved him
And now she’s sealed his fate

Her friends all called him weird
And forever he was shunned
But then she went and left him
And the pain truly begun

He is a fallen angel
A fallen saviour from the sky
But he was truly grounded
Not destined to ever fly

He steps off from that ledge
Falling faster than the rain
Although his wings are gone
He has finally left his pain

And then two arms reach out to him
As he falls toward the ground
And lift him to the heavens
And when he looks around

He’s been saved by a guardian angel
Another saviour from above
The moment that their eyes meet
They’re both sure that this is love.

He is a fallen angel
A fallen saviour from the sky
But he was truly grounded
Not destined to ever fly

The guardian angel carries him
Up to an empty cloud
And sets him down beside her
With everything endowed

Now the fallen angel
Is happy once more
Forgetting the pain amd suffering
That he has had to endure

He was a fallen angel
A fallen saviour from the sky
No he has found his angel
And together they fly

Teenage Years (Heartaches and Loser Mates) (The Words In Brackets Below Are Subsitute Depending On Radio Edit Or Album Version)

Your thirteenth birthdays here at last,
But you’ll soon wish it was the past.
Cause it all goes downhill from here.

Music styles changing and your mouthing off to dad,
Your school report is crummy and you can’t help acting bad.
But they still don’t understand.

Being a teenager sucks like hell,
Has anyone in history actually done it well.
We have heartaches,
And (sh*t) loser mates,
And stupid exams to decide our fates.
And all the adults seem to have forgotten the word ‘fair’.

The old man on the bus thinks your dirt on his shoe,
Does anyone actually see the real you?
You’d think they’d look deep enough to tell.

You boyfriend just cheated on you so you kiss a girl,
And find out there are far more worse things in the world,
But your family and friends think its sick.

Being a teenager sucks like hell,
Has anyone in history actually done it well.
We have heartaches,
And (sh*t) loser mates,
And stupid exams to decide our fates.
And all the adults seem to have forgotten the word ‘fair’.

Your little brothers got it good,
You’re sleeping far later than you should.
Your face is covered in spots and gunk,
Your bedroom is full of childish junk.
Parents say you should get a job,
Your hanging round with the local yobs.

Being a teenager sucks like hell,
Has anyone in history actually done it well.
We have heartaches,
And (sh*t) loser mates,
And stupid exams to decide our fates.
And all the adults seem to have forgotten the word ‘fair’.

Teenage years turned out much worse than they should,
But guess what, next step is adulthood,
Babe, you think you’ve got it bad,
But give it a few years and you’ll be glad,
Of all those heartaches and (sh*t) loser mates.

Rainbow (A Random Song About A Random Love That Doesn't Last)

Blue is the colour of bluebirds,
And the colour of the cold and the sky.
And the reflection that I see when I look in the lake,
The colour of the kingfishers dive.

Red is the colour of fury,
And danger and the pit of hell’s fire.
And the colour of the love that I’ve long felt for you,
The object of my hearts true desire.

You’re a rainbow smile,
That shines through the day,
Letting me know I’m secure.
You light up my heart,
And forever you’ll stay,
But you’re there, wonderful and pure.

Green is the colour of jealousy,
And the grass as we walked through the park.
It’s the colour of the trees in the depth of the wood,
And the emeralds that shine in the dark.

Gold is the colour of happiness,
And the burning shine of the sun.
Silver is the colour of the stars up above,
That lets you know night has begun.

You’re a rainbow smile,
That shines through the day,
Letting me know I’m secure.
You light up my heart,
And forever you’ll stay,
But you’re there, wonderful and pure.

Pink is the colour of safety,
And the icing on my birthday cake.
It’s the colour of my dreams as you lie by my side,
Please be there when I wake.

Purple is similar to pink,
But it signifies the life and the home.
Together we can fill up these walls,
With pleasure in our solidified dome.

You were a rainbow smile,
That shined through the day,
Letting me know I was secure.
You lit up my heart,
Yet you didn’t stay,
And know pain is what I have to endure.

Black is the colour of darkness,
And the emptiness filling my soul.
It’s the colour of death and the ending of things,
Black is the colour of coal.

Black is the colour that is all I see now,
Now you’ve left and I’m all alone.
I watched you for years as I drowned in my fears,
But now all I had is gone.

Its Not My Blood On The Walls, Honey, Its Just The New Paint... (Bottled Up, Dead & Screaming) (WARNING: Contains Some Disturbing Content)

Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh.

A kiss on the lips &
A dagger through the heart,
Babe.
Never gonna be the same,
& you're the only one to blame.

A hand to the mouth &
A stab in the back,
Babe.
Always playing the same game,
Its your only claim to fame.

Cos I know just what you've been through, and,
Where you're going,
And what you're seeing,
And what you're doing.
Hey!

I know you're with her, and
Yet you hate her,
And want her,
And need her,
Cos you're not really here.
You absent,
Fantastic,
You're plastic.
Oh oh whoa oh.
You want to please her,
But you never spare one thought for me,
No.

Blood's running down the wall,
You make me feel so small,
I don't know what to do.
If i didn't
If i couldn't
If i never had you.
Hey!

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Bottled up, dead and
SCREAMING!

A hand to the doorknob and
A key to the lock,
Babe.
So you are leaving me,
It'll be worse for you, you see,
We are simply meant to be.

The car leaves the drive, and
The rain starts to pour,
Babe.
I will see you again,
Never say this is the end.

Oh no.

Cos I know what I've been through,
And where I'm going,
And what I'm seeing,
And what I'm doing.
Hey!

I know I was with you and,
Yet I hate you,
And want you,
And need you,
Cos you're not really here,
Your absent,
Fantastic,
You're plastic,
Oh oh whoa oh.
You want to please her,
But you couldn't spare on thought for me,
No sympathy,
No no. Whoa oh.

Bloods running down the wall,
You make me feel so small,
I don't know what I'd do,
If i didn't,
If i couldn't,
If i never had you,
Hey!
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Bottled up, dead and
SCREAMING!

Bloods running down the wall,
You make me feel so small,
I don't know what I'd do,
If i didn't,
If i couldn't,
If i never had you.
Hey!
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Bottled up, dead and
SCREAMING!

Get out of my head, and
Get out of my life,
Babe.
Theres no excuse for what you did,
And what your doing,
And what you hid.
Oh oh whoa oh,
oh oh whoa oh,
Oh oh whoa oh,
Hey!
Bottle up, dead and SCREAMING.

Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Bottle up, dead and....
(Whoaaaaaa)
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh,
HEY!

Shadows In The Corner

The sun and all the stars,
The moon and my guitar,
Play a harmonic tune,
That reminds me of you,
& all the things that you do,
& this empty hole inside me is filling up,
I'm welling up & choking on my feelings for you.

I could hear you laugh every second,
Feel your hand held in mine,
& our hearts beat in time,
I guess I'm just the dreaming kind.

I'm a hopeless romantic,
Just programmed to fail,
I open my heart,
Only never to prevail.
To dwell in my dreams
& the want in my heart,
Dreaming of the finish line
When I'm stuck at the b****y start.

The wind and the rain,
The snow and my pain,
Play a melancholy tune,
That helps me forget you,
& all the things that weren't true,
& this gaping hole before me is opening up,
& swallowing up, my empty hole that's filled with feelings for you.

I could hear your laugh every second,
Feel your hand held in mine,
& our hearts beat in time,
I guess I'm just the stupid kind.

I'm a hopeless romantic,
Just programmed to fail,
I open my heart,
Only never to prevail,
To dwell in my dreams,
& the want in my heart,
Dreaming of the finish line,
When I'm stuck at the b****y start.

Its always been your name
Thats tattooed on my heart,
Waiting for the letters to fade.
As the shadows close in & the nightmares begin,
Its through the tears of my love that I wade,
The shadows in the corner watch me as i disappear,
An unrequited love waiting for your returning love to appear.
But the iron door to your heart remains locked.
While i wait for the bottle of shrinking elixir to be here,
But the passageway remains blocked.

I have heard your laugh every second,
Felt your hand held in mine,
Your cold heart beats in time,
I guess I'm the forgetting kind.

You're just a shadow in the corner.

Emerald City (A Song About Hope)

You follow the road, & where does it lead you?
To misery & distrust.
No flying ships, or indians,
Lost boys or pixie dust.

No yellow bricks, that lead you straight.
The world is filled with war and hate,
Why can't we all live in a world that is pretty,
We should all go & live in the Emerald City.

You follow the light, up the winding stair,
Left alone to sob and rot,
No princes, thorns or blind young men,
Pretending to be something they're not.

Whoa oh oh.

No yellow bricks that lead you straight,
The world is filled with war and hate,
Why can't we all live in a world that is pretty,
We should all go and live in the Emerald City.

Poor Cinderella, locked in that cellar,
Or Snow White all cold and dead.
Sleeping Beauty, dreaming softly,
Evil stepmother, fames gone to her head.

No yellow bricks that lead you straight,
The world is filled with war and hate,
Why can't we all live in a world that is pretty,
We should all go and live in the Emerald City.

If only we could live,
If only we were pretty,
We should all go and live.
In.
The.
Emerald.
City.

Never Again (Written From The View Of A Broken Relationship)

I was wondering, you know, like people do.
But it brought up the question of me and of you,
Just send me a sign, anything will do,
To let me know that you love me too.

Never again
Will i look in your eyes,
See the smile on your face
Or the way that you cry,
Oh Whoa Oh.
Oh Whoa Oh.

I was walking, down old park lane.
Thinking of how you won the game.
You tricked and your treated, you shot up to fame.
As it turns out, we're not the same.

Never again
Will I look in your eyes,
See the smile on your face,
Or the way that you cry,
Oh Whoa Oh.
Oh Whoa Oh.

I don't need you anymore,
You walked away,
You slammed the door.
I've been living my new life alone,
I've forgotten about you,
You're completely gone.

Never again,
Will I look in your eyes,
See the smile on your face,
Or the way that you cry,
Oh Whoa Oh.
Oh Whoa Oh Oh.

Never never never never never,
Never never again.

Criticising Life Itself (One Of The First Songs I Ever Wrote, Written About How I Felt When I Was Still At School)

The sun comes up,
Yet another day,
Sometimes I feel,
Like just slipping away.

Would anyone care,
If I wasn't there?
Would anyone notice,
My empty chair?

A single shadow,
Dust covers the shelf,
The reflection of me,
Criticising life itself.

The bus stops full,
Mud on my shoe,
My mobiles dead,
Don't have a clue.

I get to school,
The bell has rung,
In the empty halls,
Lingers the song I sung.

A single shadow,
Dust covers the shelf.
The reflection of me,
Criticising life itself.

Get through classes,
The lunch queue looms,
My empty stomach fills,
Full of pending doom.

The end of the day,
Layed on my bed,
Thinking of ways,
To lift this dread.

A single shadow,
Dust covers the shelf.
The reflection of me,
Criticising life itself.

I feel like nothing could ever go right,
No way to shoot towards the light,
The endless darkness comes in too close.
Musty smell of old burnt toast.

A single shadow,
Dust covers the shelf,
The reflection of me,
Criticising life itself,
Dust covers the shelf,
The reflection of me,
Criticising life,
Criticising life,
Criticising life itself.

Contradictory (Written With My Best Friend & Fellow Band Member)

I’m restless and I’m waiting
I’m anticipating
You should be here with me

I love you, but I’m crying,
Inside my heart is dying
You should be here by my side.

And I hope you rot in hell
For what you’ve done to me
You knew it was wrong
But you did it anyway
And that’s just contradictory
To me.

You shouldn’t be with her
And yet I know you are
That’s the biggest mistake you’ll ever make

And you know it, you feel it
But still you go and deny it
Did I ever mean anything to you at all?

And I hope you rot in hell
For what you’ve done to me
You knew it was wrong
But you did it anyway
And that’s just contradictory
To me.

I really thought you were the one for me.
You opened my heart and I gave you the key.
But now you’ve gone and turned your back,
Put me in the darkness and all I see is black.

And I hope you rot in hell,
With Satan’s breath upon your face,
For what you’ve done to me,
You deserve to be in that place.

Oh baby, I need you, why did you have to go?
Don’t just leave me here now, grieving and alone.
You suck, you know, and now it shows.
I’ve seen how treacherous you are.

And I hope you rot in hell
For what you’ve done to me
You knew it was wrong
But you did it anyway
And that’s just contradictory
To me.

And I hope you rot in hell
For what you’ve done to me
You knew it was wrong
But you did it anyway
And that’s just contradictory
To me.
