- 02. Taken For Granted
Facing the same old crowd
Pulling me in and spitting me out
It’s everything I have but it’s not enough
Hearing the same bad news
Nobody’s safe, no one is immune
It’s everyone I love and it’s just so tough
(I can take the smooth, I just can’t take the rough)
- Adjust Your Set
Tastes like wine this
Life is complex and complete
Everything you want is at your feet
I always say the wrong thing
I always do the wrong thing
I always say the wrong thing
I always do the wrong thing
- Automation Baby
You can be whatever you want to
You can say what you need to say
You don’t care if the party’s over
There’s always somewhere new to play
And you don’t see the fascination
Of anything around you
It’s just a world tied up with wire
- Born To Lie
You're a bitch
You're a queen
You behave
Indestructible
Black heart
So smart
Play the part
You get the best of them
- Can You Mend Hearts
I'm out of faith
It's harder than the first time
I've seen a face
That's hollow on the inside
And it's not our aim
But we're all to blame
We'll never take that away
We'll never take it away
- Confined
How can you accept it's just the way
When everyday's the same old wash of grey
Everyday the air just tastes the same
And everywhere I look there's nothing new
Soaked through with the subtle shades of blue
And now you say you're happy here with me
How can you be?
- Crash
See the vapours fading
As they stare into the night
Every Time
It's getting harder
To be buttoned up so tight
Don't do anything to us, today
(You're only flesh and bone, you'll really never know)
- Document
In stillness
A silent weight
Pausing as the minutes each evaporate
A desire
To leave a scar
To raise a voice from within the dark
- Everything I Made
I know this makes no sense
I'm going to try to explain
All that you're feeling
To try to unlock your pain
And I beg forgiveness
If that's what it takes
Or has all this been wasted?
- Firefly
Throw the towel in
Write the poison letter
Burn the place down
Let's make it better
Pour the fuel in
Make the carpet wetter
Burning paper-bin
- Four Walls
Where's the lesson God?
You're tearing off the wings of all my unprotected dreams for nothing
I'll keep holding on
But I'm running out of nails over everything that's ever failed within me
Stop the ageing soon
Because I'm running out of time at the very point I need the clock behind me
Alone in this room
When nothing should be taking from the cleanness of the break I'm making
- Fragile
Fragile you never were
Standing up to building up to
Anger that will never show
Your limitations in self control
I don't want you back
I can't deal with that
Cause everybody has to have a weakness
- Friends Like This
I've fallen in love with a photograph
A moment of youth that I can't get back
The days when you're here it returns again
Emotions that feed on me everyday
And every night I watch it fading
It's safer just to write my whole life down
With every breath the words betray me
- From This Height
It takes a long time to fall from this height
It takes a long time to fall from this height
When this life is gone
You stuck with us
You saw the proof
You took a risk but then you
You got the truth
- Headstone
Talk about taking a good thing too far
You take a good heart and play it too hard
An occupation when it isn`t a game
There's just compulsion running hot through your veins
But you like it like that
And you want it like that
Because you've told me before
- I Can't Imagine How It Hurts
If I live a hundred years
I'll always see your silent tears
Violence is the way you live
The future's nothing left to give
I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
- I Fall Over
Are we spiraling down
Hoping that heaven reaches down
Are we spiraling down,
There's something so heavy
Pushing me down
I fall over
I fall over
- I Only Wanted To
Empty thoughts could be so cruel
But empty words make life so full
Said I owed it all to you
Empty thoughts could be so cruel
But empty words make life so full
Said I owed it all to you
So I took the measure of your pleasure
- If We Stay Here
We can make our dreams come true
So I will watch you think it through
(You know I'm right)
I heard you crying for the second time tonight
We could build it up our way
We could shape the world our way
If we stay here
- In The Light Of Day
I just want to feel things like you
Then I could know how to love you
If I could just see inside your head
I would know who to be instead
But it wouldn't be me
It wouldn't be me
But just a word from you would change me.
- Involved
You took a chance if you thought they'd let you forget the pain
You should have known from the moment you stole from the net again
I'd give you a line
I'd give you my undivided time
Not for the cure
Cause that takes so much more
So I want to see you try to shake this one off
- Is It So Hard
I couldn't deny
It's only the wise that make it
It's only the fools that throw it away
And so I can't rely on
Most of my life I've been here
It should be my youth that's in the way
But did I tell you that
- It Scares Me
Pull me 'round
And tell me that you'll never let me drown
Touch me slow
Like your fingertips might never let me go
But you know
That I`m caught between the magic that you gave to me
And the fear that you might leave
- Kill Your Darlings
Faithful
Nobody is faithful
Picking up the weakest
Watching every move
Madman
Everyone's a bad man
Feeding on the leanest
With everything to lose
- Leave You Nothing
One hour on a Sunday
that's all we have
in the patience of Monday
it never goes so fast
and I wish, it was easy
I wish you only knew
I wish I could explain things
instead of hurting you
- Little Missile
Stop, breathe, no one's been deceived
Go, leave, there's nothing to believe in anymore
Little Missile
Close your eyes and smile
There's no lying
As you detonate their dreams when you're safely outside
Little Missile
- My Defender
My Defender
Protect me once again
My Defender
Are all my fears the same
What changes between two people
When you're pulling their hands apart
What changes between two people
Happy times
- My Hands Are Tied
You could be free
You could be free
You never tire of reminding me
You could be free
You've spent some time on your own
You're used to living alone
In all the space that you find for me
- My Perfection
Was it comfort that you sold me?
Is it blackmail when you hold me?
Don't call me lover when you can't say no
But I wish you found it easy though
'Cause you're my perfection
Control my life
You're my protection
- Needle In A Bruise
I can feel the pain in you
Pulling me through
I can feel the hand within
Casting me in
These things I've known
But then I'm not alone
I can take the days like a fool
- No Place Like Home
If you say it right
Say, "There's no place like home"
You'll be back there alone
In your room
(If you say it right)
I'm walking a line
I just want to say that you've been on my mind
- Not Prepared
The clouds are rolling in
Like a barrier of sin
The colour of the sky
Spells the end for you and I
And we're not prepared
What happens to us if we don't get there
And we're not prepared
- On.Anon
Dressed up and spinning around
Knock the last of the Russian down
And the music goes on and on. Anon
CCTV’s the game
You hit the town in the pouring rain
And the music goes on and on. Anon
- Only better
I've done nothing wrong
I am not that strong
I've done nothing wrong to you
And only the weak defend me
And only the weak pretend that
You didn't waste all that time to just leave forever
You couldn't say you had all you want only better
- Open Up The Ground
I can see how we came together
And I Can see how we'll blow apart
I still know how to make you happy
I just don't know why I break your heart
I can't say we're alright
It's just some days we can't fight
I need you here
- People Like Me
I can watch you from my room
It’s easy and free
But I can lie in your footsteps
And you’d never see me
‘Cause people like you
Look right through me
And still don’t see the ground
- Petrified
You're the breath in us too
You're the test of what's true
You're the one that stops them
You become the problem
It's just a different side
Of the many walls in your mind
The walls with secret panels
Built with knives and hammers
- Remember Who You Were
Living our daily lives
Watching the world go round
Talking about the wife
Inviting the neighbours
Money wouldn't change us we'd be saying
Money wouldn't make us but we'd be praying
And you've thrown our principles away
- Retaliation
The things you never saw
They didn't hurt you
I loved you once before
I never lied to you
And you're biting back at me
And I'm sick enough to see
That it won't be you that breaks it
Because you'll never sit and take it
- Room With A View
I thought I knew
Something more about you than you let through
I thought I saw
Something close to kindness
But that was all
Oh, it's so ironic
You've got the good book your name's still on it
- Safe With Me
This is my space
No one can ever get in here
This is my place
No one can ever hurt me
Standing at the foot of your bed
Counting the holes in your head
Waiting for the breathing to fall
- Shatters
Put away those eyes
Stop your mouth from moving, its only breath and lies
Bite down, kill the words
They'll only poison you they'll make you stomach burn
No heaven inside
Just mistrust and lies
In you bedroom so warm
- Something Wrong
Do you think I'd say anything
Do you think I'd just come out and say what I feel
We've had some sticky moments
We've talked ourselves out now and everything's real
And each passing day
Is one day to much
You take it out twice on the people you touch
- State Of Mind
I, I needed to see how far you would take me
Cause any further than this is a place I would rather miss
Had to move on
Almost trusted you with my love
Had to make sense of all your interest
It will only take one thing
- Step By Step
I learn about life though your life
I learn about touch through your hands
I learn about love through your heart
I leart to be kind where I can
But the window's still broken
It's starting to freeze
And the only thing I ever wanted
- Sympathy
Here you are pushing twenty one
And you've got nothing left to do
Say the sun shines last on you
You're popping pills to make it true
But don't leave here with my advice
As if it's right to listen to
Because I could never live up to this
- Taken For Granted
Facing the same old crowd
Pulling me in and spitting me out
It's everything I have but it's not enough
Hearing the same bad news
Nobody's safe, no one is immune
It's everyone I love and it's just so tough
(I can take the smooth, I just can't take the rough)
- The Damage You Do
You've got it good
You're cruel to everyone
You get their feelings
And you shake them 'til you're all alone
You had the time
You had the motive now
Pretend it hurts and they run to you from miles around
- The Place You Hide
I could never fall for you
But the tension makes the air so blue
I would never have the time
To watch you every day and night but,
Maybe if I let myself
Come down from this dusty shelf
You're messing with my head again
Got me seeing red again, so
- The Purest People
I never liked the hand you dealt me
Until I felt the ice inside you melt for me
The purest Feelings ever felt
The purest feelings ever felt
Just close your eyes my dear
and listen to the rain
Just hope tomorrow comes
- This Is What You Wanted
(And you can't go back again)
All the lines you wrote
All the words you spoke are here
It helps
Every part of her
Every drop of every tear
She smiles:
- To Be Alive
Everyone says it's all in my head
The chattering freak that bores me to sleep from beneath the floor
It's nothing more
And I'd have to resign
It's just noise in my mind
Everyone agrees I should really be pleased
Couplets in the mind are creatively perfect for rhyme
I'd of course agree
- Trust You
They wait for you with open arms
They testify your charms
And lovers understand
The future that you've planned
But all the people you took advantage of
(They were less than nothing to you)
And all the faces
- Waiting For Someone
There's something wrong in your face
There's too many ghosts in this place
You let them through this embrace
Like I've never been here
I just can't stay here
It isn't my place here
You're waiting for someone
- Want You
What are you going to do
What are you going to say
Nothing can bring her back to you
No one can make her stay with you
How are you going to live
With nobody on their knees
Hanging on every word you say
- Waste Of Time
Passion's learning, feelings stronger by the day
Fashion's burning, in every movement you betray
But you tease me
Emotional breakdowns are causing me some serious doubts now
'Cause I think that you're real and I know that you feel
More than just a taste, more than just a face
But it's all a waste of time
- What Are You Scared Of
It's a fool's game
It's a rat race
Are you tempted
To be rented?
It's a clique fest
Lover undress
Are you stable?
Am I able?
- When The City Breathes
You're just like a lens for all of it
You can make sense of all those lights
You can move street to doorway
Sucking on the air of all those nights
Feel the drums and the bass as they tear down the walls
Hear the screams of the crowd as they take to the floor
See the role of the dice as he loses it all
- You Didn't Want Me
This is why I'm alone tonight
This is why I've got no appetite
For fighting and biting.
For lying and sniping
For talking of one thing,
Then doing another
Blaming each other
