SORRY

When the light illuminates the scene
I try to shake this heart of mine from off my dirty sleeve
Call me a fool or maybe just naive
As all I have to share this place is my own company

Yeah give me the strength I can trust
Give me the will to ignite
I know what it's like

I'm sorry now that I let you go
You were the better part of me I know
If only I could show
Baby I love you
You linger on like a melody
You gave me so much more than you received
I only I had seen
Baby I love you now

Like a kite I navigate the air
If only I'd flown higher then, if only I had dared
And who's to say that life can be unfair
I deserved all that I got, it's all that I can bare

Yeah, give me the strength I can trust
Give me the will to ignite
I know what it's like

I'm sorry now that I let you go
You were the better part of me I know
If only I could show
Baby I love you
You linger on like a melody
You gave me so much more than you received
I only I had seen
Baby I love you now

Now can't you see you belong with me
I will carry your hurt, it's a burden I've earned

I'm sorry now that I let you go
You were the better part of me I know
If only I could show
Baby I love you
You linger on like a melody
You gave me so much more than you received
I only I had seen
Baby I love you now
I'm sorry now that I let you go
You were the better part of me I know
If only I could show
Baby I love you, baby I love, baby I love you now

PELLET GUN
I wanna hate you
I've got a dirty version of love and desire
I wanna blame you
This little birdie's burdened by your little lies

I wanna touch you
It's just a dirty word keeps me under the thumb
I wanna love you
You look so perfect down the barrel of a gun

I wanna say this time
Don't wanna tell you twice now I know
Yeah I don't want it
Yeah I don't need it
Now I'm fine

Another lover with a pellet gun
The remedy for the broken hearted
Another lover with a pellet gun
The remedy for us

I wanna stun you
Soon you'll be hurting now how fast can you run
I wanna love you
You look so perfect down the barrel of a gun

I wanna say this time
Don't wanna tell you twice now I know
Yeah I don't want it
Yeah I don't need it
Now I'm fine

Another lover with a pellet gun
The remedy for the broken hearted
Another lover with a pellet gun
The remedy for us

INNOCENT SINGLE

INNOCENT

It's amazing I can even close my eyes
To hide away, from the fear
Although I try I'm losing my whole life
My conscious now, is clear

Now I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent

I long to find the words to justify
The reason now, for what we do
You're so damn blind, I'm human, I'm mankind
Perfectly flawed, I'm just like you

Now I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent

I gotta keep on running
I can feel it coming
You hold me down as waves tower over my head
Words sound like thunder
They pull me under
But we can be free

It's amazing I can even close my eyes
To hide away, from the fear

Now I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent
Now I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent

Innocent now
Innocent now

LOVE OF THE MONEY

She's a lover with the devil in her eyes
Holding out her lying hands, to still away your pride
She ain't satisfied til you pay the price

In the city of desire and descent
Her love is easy to be found, by the money that you spend
But baby in the end, her love ain't worth a cent

I never thought that the love of the money
Could be more than the love of a lover
I never thought that the love of the money

Her lips are satan red her skin so soft and white
Eyes like an angel but I know, I know what's on her mind
She'll take you for a ride, she'll bleed you til you're dry

I never thought that the love of the money
Could be more than the love of a lover
I never thought that the love of the money
I never thought that the love of the money
Could be more than the love of a lover
I never thought that the love of the money

I never thought that the love of the money
Could be more than the love of a lover
I never thought that the love of the money
I never thought that the love of the money
Could be more than the love of a lover
I never thought that the love of the money

LAST CONFESSION

I'm a mess, yeah I'm in a crazy state of mind
And it's the best felling that I've had in my whole life
Under arrest yeah my heart is beating out of time
I resist coz I'm in the mood now to defy

Still I long for someone that I feel I can confide
You're the one, you seem surprised

This is my last confession
I don't wanna be led into the light
This is my soul condition
I'm not feeling remorse for my lies
This is my desperation
I don't wanna get out of this alive
This is my last confession

I confess, I am not a stranger now to sin
'Round my neck I can feel the cross that burns my skin

Still I long for someone that I feel I can confide
You're the one, you seem surprised

This is my last confession
I don't wanna be led into the light
This is my soul condition
I'm not feeling remorse for my lies
This is my desperation
I don't wanna get out of this alive
This is my last confession

My last confession
My last confession

This is my last confession
I don't wanna be led into the light
This is my soul condition
I'm not feeling remorse for my lies
This is my desperation
I don't wanna get out of this alive
This is my last confession

FAVOURITE ADDICTION
You're like the sun
A beautiful blinding light
It burns all that I am
I try to run
I shouldn't be here but I'm
A shadow disguised as a man

I will wait for you
I fight but I can't move
I will wait for you

You're like the promise that can't be forgotten
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction
You're like the memory, like deja-vu to me
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction

You're like a cigarette
The scent of a burning rose
The crave is relentless
A beggar's roulette
Love fades like the money goes
And yours is expensive now

I will wait for you
I know that I'll get bruised
I will wait for you

You're like the promise that can't be forgotten
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction
You're like the memory, like deja-vu to me
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction

One war at a time
I know that I'm
Breaking the habit, the habit of you
You bent me so easy, you broke
me completely
You're all that I knew

I will wait for you
There's no way that I can move
I will wait for you

[back to the top]




DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
So many days they have gone
Some days they never end, I don't know
I've been waiting in line
But you won't let me in, to the show

You don't know me, but I know you
Yeah I know you well, is it true?
What I've seen and what I've read and all the shit they sell
Sold by you know who

Don't you know who I am?

Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man in the back of the line
Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man that you push to the side

So many days they are the same
Some never come again, wait and see
I've been waiting in line
But you won't let me in, remember me?

You don't know me but I know you
Yeah I know you now, is it real?
What seen and what I've read, the shit that you allow
I know how you feel

Don't you know who I am?

Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man in the back of the line
Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man that you push to the side

Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man in the back
Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man that you pushed
Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man that you fucked
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know, don't you know, you know?

IS THIS LIFE?
Face down in the dirt
I've crawled a thousand miles on my own
Weathered hands and wounded pride

It's hard to find the words
I've searched for all my life
It's a puzzle with the missing piece inside

Then the waves began to swell
And I'm going under
And the world came crashing down

You were the hand of the ocean, that pulled me to the shore
You were the heart of the distance, the love that broke the storm
You were the heat of evening, the arms that kept me warm
Now is this life I am living now you've gone?

Broken and deserted
Forgiven no, I have not earnt it yet
Too many ghosts still haunt your mind

Innocent still learning
This puzzle yeah, I'm still searching for
The missing piece that makes things right

Then the waves began to swell
And I'm going under
And the world came crashing down

You were the hand of the ocean, that pulled me to the shore
You were the heart of the distance, the love that broke the storm
You were the heat of evening, the arms that kept me warm
Now is this life I am living now you've gone?

What are we fighting for?
Broken and deserted
Forgiven no, I have not earnt it yet
I have not earnt it yet

IN & OUT
How does it feel now you're an astronaut standing tall?
How does it feel now the world you see is gone?
Is what you see like a kaleidoscope, a colour coated screen?
Does it hide where you have been?

Hold on, it gets bigger than the sun
Hold on it gets bigger

I like the way that you breathe, in and out
I like the life that you lead, here and now
I'd like to make you believe, this time around
I like the way that you breathe, in and out

How does it feel now you're an open book, misunderstood?
How does it feel now that you're left upon the shelf?
Does it reveal just a paragraph, a roughly drafted scene?
In a trashy magazine

Hold on, it gets bigger than the sun
Hold on it gets bigger

I like the way that you breathe, in and out
I like the life that you lead, here and now
I'd like to make you believe, this time around
I like the way that you breathe, in and out
