| Only One What if I never told you? What if I didn't care? What if I tried to control you? What if I wasn't there? How could that be fair? What if we saw the future getting swallowed by the sun? Closing in around you, leaving nowhere left to run Watch your whole world come undone You were not the only one, you were not so scared You were the only one who's there When nobody really listens does it matter what you say? The excess of the moment that you're paying off today While your whole life slips away Ode to The Eggman (Heartbent Abused) Love is like a razor blade that cuts you up inside Love is like a hand grenade you pull the pin and hide Heartbent abused, I’ve lived a lie My souls tired and I don’t want to try And when you’re down and out Cos nothing lasts forever You came along with a smile; you came along for a while Time is like an old cliché you’ve heard this all before Time is like a good roommate you go until you’re sore Heartbent abused, I’ve lived a lie My souls tired and I don’t want to try And when I’m down and out And when I’m down and out I can’t stop thinking of the things you do every step away Brings me back to you You came along with a smile; you came along … Never Asked For More Well to you believe its madness got me staring at the wall And the darts you’re throwing at me make no sense at all I remember being stranded between the flicker and the flame That's when I realized I only got myself to blame I never asked for more than you could give or I could take Sometimes the only way to make things heal is let them break It's a tragedy, you've disguised as your dream We were flying down life's highway with the pedal to the floor Living fast and taking chances always getting more We never had no way of knowing that the end was coming near But if you take the time to listen it’s amazing what you’ll hear Another tragic scene you’ve disguised as your dream Cold Rainy Days She screams I want you out of my life as I'm crawling for the door Shards of so many picture frames on the floor And I'm not the kinda guy that likes to decompose or wear sorrow on my sleeve When every welcomes been worn to dust there's nothing left to do but leave Every line on my face (is) reminders of cold rainy days So I dig myself another hole contort this shape you'll find me in Searching like a parasite for fresh skin Float Won’t you come and play in my tangerine tree? I’ll show you things that you will never see Won’t you take a ride in my neon aeroplane? We’ll jump into the atmosphere you’ll never be the same And we’ll float Would you like to come with me to different space in time? I’ll make sure you don’t exodus until you’re satisfied Whenever she condenses me a tear falls from my eye Then I’m the water in your garden (it) gets so hard to sympathize Float Wouldn’t you like to float away? Back to the warm place that you feel Get on the carpet ride away where we can be free Won’t you come with me to a different state of mind? We’ll float off into yesterdays leave tomorrows far behind And we’ll float Forever I was tired uninspired I was taken down easy but you’ll never know Exactly when I’ll go You’re pathetic, copasetic Babbling on and on and on and on With all your empty rhetoric I heard each word that you said They’ll say long after we’re dead We had the kind of love that lasts forever I was washed up, feeling left out I was being hung to dry and I don’t know why There’s blackness in my eyes I want to fly to the moon Our time has ended too soon We have the kinda love that lasts forever I choke on each word that you said They’ll say long after we’re dead We had the kinda love that lasts forever, Forever, forever, forever Mercury And every star up in the sky can't seem to hide the fear that swells inside Got me sailing on to Mercury and Mars Last night I drank myself to sleep pretend I hardly noticed you were gone You got me sailing on to Mercury and Mars And I don't always know (right from wrong) And I hardly have the strength to carry on (sing my song) (get along) and will anybody notice when I'm gone? (sailing on) At night I lie awake consumed by fears about my own mortality Fears of sailing on to Mercury and Mars And I don't always know (right from wrong) And I hardly have the strength to carry on (sing my song) (get along) and you’ll probably be happier when I'm gone (sailing on) Mercury and Mars |
| Outta My Head Woke up this morning looking sorry for myself Carousel keeps turning and I just can’t get off Went to a doctor maybe a pill could cure my health Yeah my world keeps spinning and I just can’t get off What if I called you up and told you I was sorry felt so lonely And tomorrow looks much worse off than today … than today I’m outta my head, feeling so lonely, losing my God forsaken mind And I feel like I have wasted all my time I try to remember where the whole thing all went wrong The machine keeps churning and I just can’t get off I Feel like I swam in anesthesia for so long My spirits numb and I just can’t get off What if I told you you were right and I should never second-guess you And or question anything you ever say … you ever say And the moral of it all is you’ve got to catch me when I fall Used to Be She sits naked by the phone wondering when he’s coming home She’s wondering what she’s doing here It’s the same day after day he gets up and goes away Confessions fill her diary She says I was only waiting for the world to come and shine her light on me But it never came and it’s still the same as it used to be Used to be, used to be Trapped inside the here and now she longs for how the way it used to be Photos fading on the wall remind her of when he used to call To say that he’d been thinking of her Now the phone it never rings. He’s moved on to other things She can’t ignore what she won’t see She was always waiting for their lives to change and finally live their dreams But it never changed and it’s still the same as it used to be Used to be, used to be Trapped between the here and now she longs for how the way it used to be She can’t stand what’s in the shadows If she could just go back somehow and change the now to how it used to be Every night it feels so cold growing lonely getting old She’s haunted by his memory He’s been gone for several years She can’t stop the flow of tears Why couldn’t she find happiness? Now she sits there waiting for her time to come and set her spirit free But it never came and you can’t go back how it used to be Used to be, used to be Trapped between the here and now she longs for how the way it used to be She’s still haunted by his shadows If she could just go back somehow and change the now to how it used to Trapped between the here and now she longs for how the way it used to If she could just go back somehow and change the now to how it used to be Slave to the Puppeteer All of my actions speak louder than words Painted on face, my true voice never heard I’m a slave to the puppeteer He is my master. He is my God He gives me life right out of the box His smallest reflex means the world to me I’m a slave to the puppeteer Life comes with strings attached Without strings I can’t react When too much will kill you Not enough and you’re as good as dead Nothing to do hanging around String from my head to this cross that I’m bound It’s the life that you hoped for but with no control Like a slave to the puppeteer Peaceful Amnesty I was thinking that the sun may never shine again Then I opened up my blinds to let the light back in Sailing on the water, peaceful as an altar I was looking at the world through less sympathetic eyes And my whole quest for the truth ended up in only lies Sailing on the water, peaceful as an altar And I was free to see the things I’d always failed to see Peaceful amnesty I was looking at my life trapped by thoughts that locked me in So I smashed my window’s pane to breathe the blue sky in Sailing on the water, the darkness starts to falter And I was free to see the things I’d always failed to see Peaceful amnesty And I was free to feel the way I’d always failed to be Peaceful amnesty Out of My Control How can I have anything but memories? I would gladly give up everything I own But it’s out of my control A painter paints his pictures from the well within And the blood running through his painting brush are the colors of his soul And it’s out of his control, and it’s out of my control Just like sometimes when you run you never find the end Just when you think you’ve got it you’re right back where you begin Just to start it all again I received the message of the one I love I never took the time to question it cos it something that I know And I hate to be alone I gave up everything I own, bleed the colors from my soul And it’s out of my control Just like sometimes when you try too hard you just can’t get it right You do your best to try to get a grip on your own life But you held it way too tight and you gave up all you own Bled the colors from my soul and it’s out of your control. |
