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.

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.
