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.

A hand to the doorknob and
A key to the lock,

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.

And where I'm going,
And what I'm seeing,
And what I'm doing.

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.

Chance Meetings

Here’s a story of a girl,
Who’s a mixed up muddle in a mixed up world,
And she has her eye,
On the sweetest guy,
But he doesn’t even know she exists.

Now she, bats her eyes,
And she, flicks her hair,
But he never even notices her being there,
Then she, bites her lip,
And she, says hello,
But its not like you’ll ever know,
The way she feels for you.

Next is a story of a guy,
Whose mind’s made up and here is why…
This girl likes him,
The feelings begin,
But they still need a meeting to start.

Now he’s, big and tough,
And a, heavy jock.
When she walks in his eyesight’s locked,
Then he, waves his hand,
And he, shouts her name,
His mates start to call him lame,
So he gives up on his dream.

The high school dance is coming soon,
Big ballgowns and big ballroom.
They meet on the floor,
And each is sure.
That this is their fairytale.

Here’s a story of a pair,
Love is floating in the air.
They took a chance,
At the high school dance.
And now they’re living the dream.

Heres a message to all of you,
Seize your dream, it will come true.
Take this guy and girl to blame,
Things will never be the same.
They’re king and queen of dreams.

Dream (One Of My Softer Songs, Written For My Little Brother When He Was A Baby)

I was lost, in this world of darkness,
But you found me and turned on the light.
Large brown eyes that shine like suns,
Please don't let me outta sight.

You give me an excuse to dream,
Just don't let me dream my life away.
As long as i spend it next to you,
Things will always stay this way.

Candy floss castles and flying gold keys,
Chocolate logs and wishing trees.
I made a wish, hope it comes true,
Do you understand that i love you?

You give me an excuse to dream,
Just don't let me dream my life away.
As long as i spend it next to you,
Things will always stay this way.

Gingerbread houses and candy cane poles,
A big golden bell that rings at each toll.
Silver-bronze unicorn and syrupy lake,
You will always be the cherry on my cake.

You give me an excuse to dream,
You put a smile on my face, every hour of everyday.
As long as i spend it next to you,
I hope everything will stay this way.

Sugar land is very nice,
So is a cloud boat on a clear blue sea.
But that is all make believe,
Unless you spend it here with me.

(Instrumental)

You give me an excuse to dream,
(Oh, an excuse to dre-ee-eam)
You put a smile on my face, every hour of everyday.
(Yeah! Every day)
As long as i spend it next to you,
(Next to, next to you-hoo)
I hope everything will stay this way.
(I hope everything will stay this way)
Hope everything will stay this way.
(Oh, everything will stay this way!)
I know everything will stay... stay this way.

My dreamer
(My dreamer.... my dreamer.... my dreamer (until fade))

Dust (WARNING: May Contain Some Disturbing Content) (NOTE: Song Written About My Feelings On The Earth Today)

Have you ever seen a blind man cry,
Or a pretty thing that’s just caught your eye?
Have you ever smelt freshly baked bread,
Or seen the sunset turn to red?
The news comes on, and what do you see?
Another killer on a murder spree.

What the hell is wrong with us?
Why do we urge to stain the dust?

Harmony and Peace are gone,
Along with all the sweeter songs.

Have you ever heard a bird’s morning call,
Or a child kicking their new football?
Have you ever felt the sea air on your face,
Or gulped cold water after running a race?
Or maybe you’ve tasted the scent of fear?
Probably, the air’s ripe with it here.

What the hell is wrong with us?
Why do we urge to stain the dust?

Harmony and Peace are gone,
Along with all the sweeter songs.

Bang bang, another gun,
Huff puff, he’s on the run.
Police get there, but much too late,
Another life is claimed by fate.
Stab stab, found its mark,
Another death in the park.

They say humans are animals,
Well guess what? We are.
But if you look closer,
Animals act better by far.
They mooch about, just having fun,
But then a hunter with a gun,
Come slashing in, and heres a hint,
Another species is now extinct.

A child cries, its eyes are wide,
The panic rising up inside.
A chair, a table, a shout, a fist,
I’m hoping you now get the gist.

What the hell is wrong with us?
Why do we urge to stain the dust?

Blood Stained Letters (WARNING: May Contain Some Disturbing Content) (NOTE: This Song Was Written When A Close Friend Of Mine Helped Break My Heart)

If you feel so messed up, so useless, so worthless, you’re not the only one.
I’m left short of breath with this heavy feeling in my chest and the worst is yet to come.
Every night I talk to the stars and pretend they are you,
They act like you aswell, far away and just don’t have a clue.

I need you
I want you
And if I can’t have you
I don’t know what I will do.
Not all scars show, not all wounds heal
Sometimes you can't always see
The pain someone feels

So paint my portrait, the story of my life,
But the words will just fade away stuck in black and white.
I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind,
I cry for the pain, both old and new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.

There is this girl in the mirror and she looks a lot like me
And all she seems to do is think about you constantly
But she's too shy to ever let it show
Are you sure you do not know.

She needs you
She wants you
And if she can’t have you she doesn’t know what she’ll will do.
After every kiss, and every lie,
Nobody loves me, nobody cares,
I just sit alone in my room and cry.

So paint my portrait, the story of my life,
But the words will just fade away stuck in black and white.
I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind,
I cry for the pain, both old and new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.

Come to me in my nightmares
My one and only love
Soar right beside me in the dark clouds above
No one can find us up here all alone
So come to me and I'll take you to places you've never flown.

So paint my portrait, the story of my life,
But the words will just fade away stuck in black and white.
I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind,
I cry for the pain, both old and new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.

So paint my portrait, the story of my life, (I cry for the time that you were almost mine)
But the words will just fade away stuck in black and white. (I cry for the memories I have left behind)
Not all scars show, not all wounds heal (I cry for the pain, both old and new)
Sometimes you can't always see
The pain someone feels

I cry for the times I almost had you.

The Grave Is Nearly Filled, And Absolutely No One's Dead. (Glass Half Empty) (WARNING: Contains Some Disturbing Content)

Trying to be glass half full, instead of glass half empty.
But these negative thoughts, are just existing to tempt me.
The fruits of the darkness, only blossom in plenty.
And its all i can do, to hold on to my sanity.

But you're not there,
And i know and i know and i know and i know
that you never were.
Just hold on hold on hold on,
You're so wrong so wrong so wrong,
I will make it through.
who needs you?!
Oh. Who needs you.

These empty walls keep on just closing in.
Trying to make me reflect on my sin.
It just seems to me that i can never ever win.
They watch my mistakes with a chesire cat grin.

But you're not there,
And i know and i know and i know and i know
that you never were.
Just hold on hold on hold on,
You're so wrong so wrong so wrong,
I will make it through.
Who needs you?!
Who needs you?

Hearts, stars and bouquets of flowers all seem fine at first,
But they're nothing against the blood that couldn't quench a vampires thirst.
It oozes from my wrists and my heart can't keep up,
A stain on the carpet that runs away with my luck,
A deathly white face and dark eyes as I fall.
All you had to do was say yes and end this all.

Now I'm not here,
And i know and i know and i know and i know
that you never were.
I can't hold on hold on hold on,
I was so wrong so wrong so wrong,
I didn't make it through.
Who needs you?!
Who needs you?

A coffin in the ground is all I'll ever be,
Is it really that hard for you to see,
This was all for you, none of it for me.
The glass will from now on be forever empty.
